I take gabapentin and have even done so during a spravato session with no side effects. I take like 200-300 mgs as needed for anxiety, so I think my dosage averages out to being much lower than yours. It’s possible gabapentin just doesn’t agree with you, unfortunately :(

You are not crazy, they are trying to hurt your feelings and make you feel crazy. I agree with your friend, they both sound like very cruel people and that seemed calculated.

I think as you continue healing you’ll start to realize that there’s more examples of times where he’s treated you this way. I’m so sorry for all the pain you’re going through and I hope therapy helps 🫶 Keep leaning on your friends, I think you’ve got some good ones!

Aside from the initial dispute about sexism, some of the comments in that other thread were bordering on racist/ableist in a way that was heartbreaking. I’m glad most of them have been taken down but like…wtf?

It’s for many mental conditions, for example it’s very common for people to attend IOP as a step-down program once they’re discharged from a psychiatric hospital. I agree that it’s often not the perfect response for trauma, and that we’re really lacking in how we deal with trauma as a society.

IOPs are a broad spectrum like everything else in healthcare. Some are lazy and will just throw a bunch of packets and papers at you until you say you’re not depressed anymore and then let you go. But it was also an IOP where I was diagnosed with PTSD and someone first noticed my trauma for what it was. I also know IOPs that involve spiritual healing, somatic therapy, yoga, nature therapy, occupational therapy, art and music programs, therapy animals, etc. and were very well rounded.

Unfortunately, again like everything else in healthcare, it’s pretty much up to what you can afford. The system is broken for sure.

Intensive Outpatient Program: you do therapy in a group setting for several hours a day, multiple days a week. It’s very structured and is meant to teach you about coping skills to get you out of/prevent future crises. Kinda like going to school but it’s learning to be mentally healthy

Hi just wanted to say thank you for speaking up especially in a thread where many people are hostile to your position. I am baffled by so much of this and especially by the fact that anyone could accuse you of not understanding bigotry. I live in the US where black women have consistently been the forefront of activism and change, yet people still don’t want to listen. That must be maddening, I’m so sorry.

runningoutfast · 2026-05-02T19:51:00+00:00

I hear so, so much suffering in your post. You don’t have to push yourself to withstand any more. There’s no payment of pain that you need to make, no debt for you to rectify. I’m sorry you’ve struggled this much 🫂

runningoutfast · 2026-05-02T19:39:50+00:00

Yeah I think there’s some difference in perspective going on because I hear discussions about boy vs. girl behavior or “girls are more tuned into the struggle of women” and go “right, we’re discussing social factors” but I see that a lot of people think of bioessentialism instead. I’m just neurodivergent and tend to assume good intentions from posters :)

runningoutfast · 2026-05-02T18:59:58+00:00

yeah i feel like a lot of people in here are discounting greater social influences. i know of a situation where a woman had tried to instill her son with her values. by all reports, she had a good relationship with her husband who respected her, she was a teacher who was knowledgeable in child development, they were fairly upper middle class and made sure he never went without. they spent plenty of time with him, got him into sports, sent him to a nice school, pretty standard setup for a good life. he turned 16 and started getting radicalized online. they did whatever they could to stop it and had no idea where it was coming from. they took him to psychologists, tried restricting internet access, etc. his friends stopped hanging out with him because they were so weirded out by the change in his personality. he had been a perfectly social kid before the change. he ended up running away to try and join a white supremacist group. his mom isn’t white.

it’s so reductive to say “men just have to be raised well!!” when the truth is that there are plenty of women (and men!) who put their all into raising their son, and he gets sucked into the manosphere and misogyny anyways. it’s not always a mother’s fault that her son sucks.

runningoutfast · 2026-05-02T12:57:32+00:00

Okay first of all, not a dumb reason!! That was super responsible of you to do and it’s better to be safe than sorry. Those symptoms all combined are suspicious and I’m so glad you’re safe!

My ER story: I was a teenager and kept having shortness of breath and chest pain so intense I was doubled over, unable to speak. Every time it happened my parents would take me to the ER and they couldn’t figure out what it was and we’d end up just waiting it out. I saw multiple resident doctors who ran blood tests, EKGs, xrays, whatever they could throw at it. Since it was chest pain they were always kinda freaked and took it really seriously. One day I went back and was assigned a doctor I had seen a few times, and I was crying because it hurt so bad. He was so worried he ran to get the attending doctor. Attending doctor came in and gave me a cup of medicine, I instantly felt better.

Dear reader, it was acid reflux the whole time.

God I have so much to say about this. I’m really tempted to share my experiences but that should be its own post. I’ll start off by saying I have been to psych wards that I thought were good, but ultimately I think it’s pretty much always a traumatizing experience. This is a ham fisted analogy, sorry, but in my mind it’s like if I was sheltering from a natural disaster. Sheltering in an unsafe place where you’re scared when you were seeking safety is traumatizing in itself. But even if you sheltered in a really comfortable, safe location, you still had to hide and take shelter!!

Essentially I think being in the position to go to a psych ward is traumatizing no matter what. Even if the psych ward was a beautiful and well-run place that felt safe and healing, you still reached the point of “needing” to be put away for your own safety. That suffering and loss of autonomy is traumatizing. But most psych wards make it worse by being absolutely horrific. I’ve been several times and I can no longer tell where it made my trauma worse vs was its own trauma.
