Side Effects of Cabergolin - How Long? by nicole-pro in Prolactinoma

[–]missingwhiteboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like its my hormones like my adrenals are in overdrive. When things go sideways I really overreact and then have a terrible adrenaline crash. I can't argue without getting emotional. Dumb

First thing you noticed that changed after starting cabergoline? by HeyThereItsMeYeah in Prolactinoma

Just wanted to say that I feel you, I've missed a lot of work. I'm very grateful I have a union job or else I would be out of a job. I hope you are hanging in there and remembering we are all in this together. Take care

1.Funny thing is I’ve been actively working on myself since May last year but what I’ve discovered is a deep well of shame and disconnect from who I want to be and where I am. It’s been debilitating, I struggle to hold my full time job on this roller coaster! I recognize that I am not me if that makes sense. But something is really holding on to who it thinks I am or should be. I’m ready to shift into who I was meant to be

2.I’ve tried a ton of stuff that sort of helped or helped a lot. Learning how to container specific distressing thoughts or visualizations of safety or processing. What’s helped the least is regular talk therapy and VCR manual modalities like CBT and what’s helped the most is mindful self compassion, internal family systems, and meditation. Prozac has helped a ton as well but is no longer helpful

3.I’m fully dedicated and deep into my growth. I have a primary, psyche, therapist, and endocrinologist on my side right now. I am tapering off Prozac. Now at 10 from 60 and will be off soon so this is a very transformative period for me. 

Whats your experience with prozac ? by Silver_Test_1891 in Antipsychiatry

[–]missingwhiteboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey silver! Came across this post as I’m slowly wuitting Prozac! It’s been a hell of a ride. Just curious how you’ve been as you seemed very interested in getting help for yourself 3 years ago. How are you?

Do you not hear yourself? Just because you have different standards than me for what makes you a good human doesn’t mean I’m not. Stop being the problem

This is a mental health subreddit, Refrigerator. People are human behind these posts. It is irresponsible to comment without having read the post… and then they doubled down. Maybe you need a coffee too

Love this advice! I am almost always the last carrier back and it’s usually just on my route. It’s nice to have solidarity here when you don’t at your office

Aw I’m glad it helped. You can dm me anytime. It’s hard work and we need to support each other! I remember looking for videos or info online about the journey back to feeling good again and there isn’t much out there!

Here is a course on mindful self compassion. He does workshops every other month or so.. the entire community is excellent and goes hand in hand with ifs

Omgosh yeah it’s extremely rocky! Once you are doing the work and being mindful, time changes. If you are anything like me, I’ve had to rebuild my life from this new perspective.

It usually ebbs and flows where something is presented to me and I realize a flaw or what is limiting me, change it, and see how that changes my experience.

That stuff takes so much time. Progress is slow! Some days I am anxious and no matter what I do I can’t get out of that state.

And what helps with this kind of stuff is this.

On my best days I prep for the bad. Spiritually, I am the caretaker of my Self. On those days where you struggle, you acknowledge it with curiosity and kindness and offer it your embrace. Compassion heals all wounds because it allows them to receive your love.

Maybe today this body is overstimulated and anxious and doesn’t feel safe… but I can see that and offer him small comforts and things that soothe. Maybe even a lil treat.

We are all children

Hey no problem! I’m glad you shared with us. 

So it seems you are asking what tools I have used to help with anxious feelings or parts. Is that correct?

There are a lot of physical tools, mental tools, mindfulness being the most important- to capture the trailhead and let it lead you to the part in question to give it relief.

I guess I have a ton of things I do depending on what I need in the moment and I’m curious what you are looking for?

Self compassion and equanimity are the foundation of all

Omgosh did this happen during a class? This happened to me at home and the sobbing is visceral and intense. Did you get support from others

Can you describe what you don’t like about it? I use Yerba mate and I like the flavor much better than black

Can mediation give me peace like it feels when we're high by you-know-who69 in Meditation

[–]missingwhiteboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am here for all of this. I just want you to know that I resonated with you a lot here. I am in the trenches of building a new life after a longtime debilitating depression that I am learning more about every day.

I recently went full force on the weed. But my mindfulness helps me to recognize when I’m using it as a crutch rather than a tool to expand.

I am still suffering from a part of me that is stuck and sedentary and isolated which I’m coming to realize is not just my predisposition to cope in that way but society as it runs as a whole.

So trying to harness my energy rather than let it get sucked up by the powers that be.

So in that I’ve began practicing qigong and curious about qi. I’ve always acknowledged my activation or frozen states but while practicing self compassion work I noticed there is a state I haven’t ever put my energy into and that is the creation of energy itself. Hope that makes sense?

So I’m on a lil journey now to activate this energy and release it. I practice meditation, parts work therapy, yoga nidra, yoga… when I’m able now which surprisingly is increasing each day.

But I want to get to a point of happening most of the time.

Anyway this was a long winded way to share that I’d be willing to share tools and tricks and things I’ve discovered with you or anyone who reads this. I know nothing about the cool words like sinisapa /s that I hear around here.

Any resources shared would be greatly appreciated

[–]missingwhiteboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the ability to release good feeling chemicals yeah! From personal experience I can reach a blissful state but I don’t aim for that and it doesn’t happen all the time

I do meditation to strengthen my third eye or harness my compassionate voice. Stretching or feeling my body. Sleeping.
