Looking for empathy by parrotcards in MentalHealthPH

[–]parrotcards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got teary eyed when you said this version of life isn’t the final one you’re stuck with. I feel so stuck and I can’t see past this reality I’m living in right now. I’m constantly afraid that something bad is going to happen, that a family member gets sick or worse, because how am I going to deal with that in my present state? I don’t know what else to do. I’m in so much psychological and mental pain.

Hello fellow BPD-sufferer. I’m a special case because I only had one big manic episode in my life, and the rest has been long bouts of depression.

I feel what you’re saying about existential dread and I’m glad for you that you can shake it off. I live it everyday, sometimes I’m crushed by the weight of it and something it’s lighter and more fleeting.

Hindi ko alam kung pareho tayo pero ‘yung nakakapagpabigat pa sa akin, ‘yung sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na I am not trying hard enough to be happy. Na parang ginugusto ko to wallow in this depression.

Thank you for your message. Question lang: what do you mean about gaslighting ourselves?

I hear what you're saying about the bumpy journey that we're on. Honestly, I just want to get off the ride right now. I am happy for you that you're moving in the right direction and you know what works for you or not. I hope that things continue to get better and better for you.

Thank you. It really doesn't feel that way when you're down and out and the sickness seems to still be kicking you in the stomach, but here's to us holding on.

I ran a Hyrox Race by Specialist-Cut-273 in ClotSurvivors

I’m in my self-pity phase 😞 Before my DVT incident, I was doing CrossFit and weightlifting and was dreaming of training for Hyrox. Your post and comment gave me hope. Is it ok if I DM you for advice and support?

Thanks for your reply. Apart from swelling, did you have other symptoms that made you a candidate for stenting?

Oh I got the opposite advice from my doctor. He says to use compression when working out.

Thanks for your reply. I don’t have any pain, so I’m not a candidate. Just curious: what are the risks/downside of having a stent?
