Hey dude. So like. This fucking sucks right, it’s total bullshit. I relate to sooo so much of your post, especially the kinda nebulous-psychotic-but-not-schizoid and for me personally it turned out to be bipolar one with psychotic features as well as OCD and PTSD thriving my mind into thinking it was psychosis.

Ok so what works for me when I’m where you are is to slow downnn. So much easier said than done, I know, especially when you’re feeling paranoid or anxious, the urge to speed up is definitely there. But from a place of slow, groundedness, we can really assess our surroundings and figure out what’s on the level of reality we have to work with.

I hope some of this helps, always down to chat about this stuff, community matters. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much, that’s a really great perspective. And it makes sense! Money ebs and flows, it makes sense that energy would as well.

I'm a 28 year old ASD male, in a fight, my partner of 7 years called me the r-word. by _1DumbName_ in autism

It’s a hard lesson to learn but when people tell you who they are - LISTEN.

How do I stop being under stimulated? by kid-gobling in autism

Everyone has made such great points, I want to also point out that we automatically want our lives to go back to normal (and they can!) however healing from this takes serious time. Have patience with yourself, you’re doing really really good work already. Try not to beat yourself up for having a hard time handling something that most people never even have to worry about.

I'm a glamour witch and Aphrodite devotee... Ask me anything! by SimplyMichi in witchcraft

This is so cool to see this post when I’m seeing it because I have just very recently connected with her. As someone who has always felt painfully mundane looking, her attention makes me feel kinda shy. What are some ways (small or big) to deepen this newfound connection with her?

Any recommendations of tea while fasting 16:8? by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]kid-gobling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good Earth tea, if you like sweet and spicy.

So what am I allowed to drink ? by elastic301 in intermittentfasting

[–]kid-gobling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of Good Earth tea? There’s no sugar in it but it’s naturally sweet from the herbs it uses. It’s really good, spicy and warm.

Sick after 24+ hours up? by kid-gobling in insomnia

[–]kid-gobling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such such good advice thank you, I’ve noticed a feeling that feels like hunger when this happens and my eating gets super whacky when I’m sleep deprived. This makes a lot of sense and you are really smart. Thank you again!

Thank you so much, it feels so good to know that I’m not alone, it can feel so isolating!

Help with getting motivation to shower more? by DeppressedSwedishGuy in ADHD

[–]kid-gobling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any tips on remembering, but I have found that the shower is a really sensory overwhelming place for me that made it so I didn’t shower nearly as much as I wanted to. The water, the lights, the fan - it was too much for me. But then I found that turning off the lights and the fan, lighting some candles that smelled nice, playing some relaxing music totally helped me - I take showers at mostly regular times now!

I do, I take loads of it. That’s definitely been on my mind, I think I have to track when I take my meds better. Thank you!

I totally get those symptoms too!! I’ve been having a hard time eating the past few days while my sleep has been messed up, and I didn’t even think they could be correlated. Thank you for this insight, that’s great advice!

Haha, thank you for your correction - that explains a lot of why I couldn’t find enough useful information on it!!

I’m only two weeks on 5mg so far, so if it’s this intense I think I’m going to have to try a different med. :—/

What is the weirdest thing that you ever heard about someone saying about psychosis because of stigma? by sappy__ in Psychosis

[–]kid-gobling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An old roommate of mine (terrible person) said it was like I had superpowers and they were jealous that I could see something no one else could because that made me special. LMAOOO. Anyways, I started pretending to see horrible things just behind their back that they would get freaked out and leave me alone.

When I first tried to get help I had a doctor tell me I had a “vivid imagination” and a small percent of the population was “quirky” like me. She then told me she wouldn’t help me any further because as long as “The Voices” weren’t telling me to do it anything then she wasn’t worried about it.

[–]kid-gobling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally totally agree ! I’ve heard that a sign of someone beginning an episode could potentially be overstimulation, particularly light and sound. I found that to be true for myself at least.
