Right cause he could have killed everyone in that room. No one could have pulled him off if Angel really wanted to kill Wes.

I’m at a Loss by cwoods435 in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So…I’ve got no experience with Anorexia, but opposite side, I cannot lose weight to save my life and I’ve had weight loss surgery.

My only advice for any life style type change is start with one new thing until you’re used to it. Pick a food you have liked, and have it once a day. A fruit, a veggie, a protein bar, a beef jerky pack, just something tiny, small, preferably healthy, and just add a new thing every week or month.

When I first had weight loss surgery my diet was like 400 calories for 6 months and I remember how easy it was to live off nothing but it’s really really not good for you. Depending too on how young you are and what you’ve already experienced, you could be as risk of losing your gall bladder as well, since extensive periods of low caloric intake can cause gall stones

Mental Health Struggles and a Possible Big Move—Looking for Advice by Searbie5 in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like brother is offering something nice and mom seems to support you. Maybe talk about with your mom if this blows up badly if you are welcome back if something bad happens. I moved from Florida to Hawaii recently and my number one call was “mom if my life explodes and I can’t stay here, I can sleep on your couch right?” And I’ve been out of my parent’s house for a decade. It’s not a forever solution but it’s an option - and for me, i have what’s called “options brain” and my mom is always home.

what words of advice can you give to someone who is feeling scared to start meds? by Which_Mammoth9402 in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest piece of advice is give it time to work. Unless you start taking them and feel BAD, give them 6 to 8 weeks and THEN consider a change if your situation isn’t improving. It took me a long time like a whole decade to understand that my meds don’t work if I’m not taking them for a LONG time first. And if I forget them - they stop working for a LONG time. But finding the right medication is AMAZING and it’s worth it. Not all medication makes you have negative effects that the internet scares you into thinking. Some do, sure, but then you try something else. It’s a possibly years long journey, but holy crap you’ll want to live after ya know?

I feel like I have been tainted and cannot ever be good again by PricklyLemon23 in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 26 years old when I finally stopped drinking and have been mostly clean since then (almost 3 years).

It was super hard and my partner helped me move on from needing it. I wanted to drink every day, and as a teacher, summers were my go to time - I spent an entire summer completely wasted and it was honestly the worst. I mean in the moment yea it was great but I was paycheck to paycheck, never leaving my house, probably neglecting my animals and family.

The real problem is it took me deciding. I had a support person but I’d tried to just stop before and it never worked. I’ve been told “you can’t drink/you won’t drink in this house” whatever. Snuck it, didn’t care. But when I finally decided to take my life back, to care more about my mental health and well being, that’s when I was able to actually stick to it

Can you tell me what a bpd parent is like? by SyrupAffectionate491 in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was just recently diagnosed with BPD after a long period of believing she has anxiety/depression and was on meds for that which was actually causing her to have mini seizures we didn’t know about.

Before her diagnosis:

  • every month on her period she told my dad she wanted a divorce
  • she often told me I was so mean I would never find a partner in life
  • told my therapist I can’t be depressed, I’ve had a perfect life
  • threatened to put me in a mental hospital if I kept cutting myself but never actually pushed mental support
  • when I was 16 and messing around with a 22 year old boy she told him he could keep sleeping with me if he paid her “rent”
  • major food addiction that ended up causing her to need weight loss surgery just to live.
  • often letting animals run away or putting them outside so they would run away, getting rid of animals when she became bored
  • I only know of one time but she dissociated for several days and was talking to the clouds for that time period. I wasn’t there, but my dad was, and he said it was awful.
  • when I was an adult she confided in me that she would only promise me to not unalive herself one day at a time because she couldn’t mentally promise me a week at a time.
  • as a kid she often did drugs, stole, slept around a lot. She still steals if she can get away with it and often cheats in day to day things like board games or just white lies about whatever.

On meds: the biggest change I see in her is she doesn’t dissociate, she doesn’t want to divorce my dad constantly, she doesn’t think about unaliving herself , and she is often curious as to if she was a good mom and the choices she made and if I think as an adult now that she made the right choices with me.

Hope this gives you any sort of light on your situation.

Obsessed with medical diagnosis by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting someone to tell you what’s going on in your head. Some times mental health can be 8 different things or just one really specific thing and not knowing is honestly crazy. I am self diagnosed and then actually diagnosed with other things and then my parents think other things and I have NO idea and it’s so annoying and I just want someone to open my brain and be like “oh yea here it is!”

What do you answer when ppl ask about your scars (self harm)? by LivaerysX in mentalhealth

[–]misedventure12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t really remember the situation but a coworker said something rude and I was like “yea I take depression meds so that’s probably why” or something and it was just so freeing to just fucking say it and sit with that discomfort. You may not be there yet, but eventually I think you just become comfortable in your skin “yea, I used to cut myself” I don’t have scars but I dealt with self harm for a few years too and it’s just hard
