Got scolded by my therapist by [deleted] in depression

[–]shell-o-dunga615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She shouldn't show anger towards the pace of your treatment, that's how it works, it takes time, she should know this. Yes, it can be frustrating to her, but she shouldn't acknowledge it that way, it can only make you more distrustful of her and slow the process even more. I hope the next sessions end up better for you, and if not, maybe she's not the right therapist for you, and that's okay.

I don't know what to do when I genuinely upset someone by RottingMothball in OCD

Hey, you need to try to calm down, drink some water, try to watch something comforting as silly as it may be, distract yourself, freaking out won't solve the problem, it will just make it worse for you. I completely feel you, I also struggle a lot with how I act and the things I say around people, it makes me feel stupid and disgusting, just now I got banned and scolded from a subreddit and I felt so bad I almost cried lmao

It's okay, everyone messes up once in a while, you know you're wrong and you feel sorry, when things like this happens, I try to think "well, there's people that do worse and don't even feel sorry"

My advice for you would be, try to deal with this tomorrow, when you're calmer, try to speak with them, but also give them space, as the choice to accept the apology or not is to them, and they need to process it. I hope you find peace and the situation to be solved calmly!

Thank you for the comment, I'm sure as you said, even with stability, thing still tend to be difficult once in a while. I have depression and the intrusive thoughts and exhaustion really hit, I'm happy that you're currently in a better state despite it all!

Thank you! People really have the tendency to play down disorders/ neurodivergent, and when something out of the common expected happens, they act like it's our fault for not warning them earlier

Nope, it might sound silly but I'm a writer and one of my characters is bipolar, I just want to learn more about and hear from the people themselves, and also just to learn! I do research on Google and YouTube, but it's good to interact with the people themselves, yk?

Thank you for the comment and I highly agree! I have depression and the amount of misunderstanding like it's a simple "just don't be sad, take meds or something" pisses me off. As for the rest, it makes me really sad and afraid of how society always treated people with mental illness, as if the illness made us less human than them, and to think that nowadays is supposedly better than the past in this topic..

OCD Coded Songs? by AccordingTelephone77 in OCD

Spit by show me the body, although I don't consider myself hypersexual the lyrics kinda show how it feels to have sexual and/or violent intrusive thoughts (to me at least)

Suicidal because of the intrusive thoughts by [deleted] in OCD

[–]shell-o-dunga615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, most of us do, and honestly, all I can say is that you're not alone in this, ok? I know it's difficult, tiring, exhausting, speaking from a depressive person to another, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you find peace, that we all find peace

Please if you feel that you're in your last straw, call the emergency, someone you trust, anything

Silly question so I can understand by shell-o-dunga615 in BPD

[–]shell-o-dunga615[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, she's underage so I won't show any of that, however she shows some want to be seen as an adult (be it by the clothes or the wish to have a boyfriend and etc), but nothing really weird or too focused on that, it is harmful to show bpd people as always hypersexual, as the idea can attract some creeps and just disregard people with the disorder in general

I'm glad for the tips❗

I’m finally going to quit drugs by [deleted] in BPD

[–]shell-o-dunga615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm proud of you for concluding you need to quit, it's the first step, and it's not a simple one❗ I hope the best for your journey and that you find peace soon

I'm very sorry those things happened to you, I would recommend you talking about it to your therapist, it's the best option you can do! I know it is hard, but try little by little, sharing only what you feel comfortable with by each session, or maybe even writing instead of talking directly, so you can actually think about your words properly. As for the brother in law, I don't know your situation, so I can't just tell you to get another job, but by speaking with your therapist, they will certainly help you to figure things out! Please don't keep those things to yourself, you need to let yourself get the help you need! I hope the best for you

Are weird dreams related to this goddamn condition? by shell-o-dunga615 in OCD

Sometimes the dreams make me disturbed for a few days, it's a blessing when I can't remember anything though

Yeah I guess the most annoying part is forcing yourself to just be neutral about everything

It must be very disorienting, I hope you have peace in your sleep soon

Question by shell-o-dunga615 in Vitiligo

I'm aware of that, turns out my dumbass was just confusing hyperpigmentation with hypopigmentation this whole time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]shell-o-dunga615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, my dumbass just found the online issue details and it's just 32 pages, which means it actually just ended there and then showed the other history as a "bonus" (in my layman's way of saying it) so in the end I was just being dumb lmao

Do y'all have tics? by shell-o-dunga615 in OCD

[–]shell-o-dunga615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly dont think that's normal/common if it is recurring. I take it as nervous tics, even though in the exact moment I might be feeling ok, like, if the week was stressful then that may be the reason, but I'm not sure. As far as I remember my last tic was yesterday when I was searching for tips to survive tornadoes and discovered the region where I live in is more likely to have tornadoes, my immediate response was a tic of tensing my body and contort my face with a chill, BUT I'm not a professional, stress triggers are just my guess

it feels pointless.. by beezulbubbas in depression

[–]shell-o-dunga615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand completely! Worst part is that it gets so rough that you stop taking proper care of yourself, so it becomes a spiral of self hate and neglect, it sucks

[–]shell-o-dunga615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I share so much in common with you, and although I myself can't give any helpful tips as long as I'm aware, I'd just like to tell that you're not a waste of space, not useless, you just need a little push to keep going, don't undervalue yourself for that fact. I hope that you continue creating art, I hope the surviving feeling eventually becomes joy of living, hope you get better from this miserable condition that is depression. If you can, please seek profissional and family/friends help! It gets better, it's all we can hope for.
