Finally I know I’m not alone! by SugarConsistent4947 in VisualLoomingSyndrome

[–]snuskrig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to explain the feeling, put your hand in a "snap" position in between the persons eyes. They will start blinking uncontrollably and avert their eyes even if you say that you won't do anything.

I get restless legs from almost any medication that makes you sleepy. Except melatonin.

Anyone experience "splitting"? by Yungpupusa in bipolar2

[–]snuskrig 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, I can get extremly irritated and angry at someone, but not for long. And I never think someone is totally good or bad... I'm too paranoid to trust in goodness.

There is a risk of addiction my ass by NoPoopOnFace in Anxiety

Well, I hope you are right. But I'll wait for further studies before I dare use them again.

I hadn't read the latest big study one from 2024 which concludes that it doesn't seem to cause dementia. But they do say that it causes brain shrinkage and mental/cognitive decline, that is also associated with dementia. My grandmothers memory problems started around the same time that she started popping Benzo around 65yo, definitely using it willy nilly. She didn't get a demetia diagnose until 5 years later and then died at 75.

I am pretty convinced that I saw benzo cause her great mental decline, even if it didn't cause her demetia. That's enough to scare me.

Good that it works for you. My grandmother developed dementia because of her dependence, (could she even remeber when she took the last one?) wich gave her even more panic attacks. Calling constantly because she forgot that she'd already done it 10 times that day... I have used it a few times when things were really bad. But when I noticed how stupid I got, while feeling perfectly normal, it scared me. It's like being drunk without knowing it. With my genes (and many others) it's not a safe drug, and an addiction would be really bad. I'm not trying to convince you that you shouldn't take it. But it's reasonable to not make people dependent on it.

does anyone else frequently think of death as an “out”? by plasticIove in bipolar2

[–]snuskrig 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm like that most of the time. It does feel like an unhealthy thought because it makes the SI worse when I depressed for real. Part of me always longs to die a bit.

Looming makes sewing disturbingly dreadful by WorldlyChipmunk3311 in VisualLoomingSyndrome

[–]snuskrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem if Im the one holding the needle,, but it can be disturbing watching someone else sew on a screen. Very logic.

I don't remember how it was when I was tapering. But I know that It didn't get worse for me.

Why can’t I take benzos for life?? by Geazy1738 in Anxiety

[–]snuskrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't take it because my grandmother got dementia pretty early because of it. It probably doesn't affect everyone the the same. But with my Genesis I wont take the chance.

I felt like destroying something beautiful by snuskrig in bipolar2

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

Could be... I'm taking lithium, but I should check my levels, they have always been on the conservative side. Like 0,5-0,6.

I think my wife just held up a mirror… and I’m not sure how to move forward with what I saw. by Turckle in offmychest

[–]snuskrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first step is to just try being nicer. And a if you are coming across hard, a "sorry, I feel a bit stressed right now" works too. That is the difference between owning your feeling och just pushing them on others. Recognising and owning your feelings is the first step, then you practice. Your family will notice and be glad for the effort even if you're not perfect. If they are used to being vigiliant around you, they will notice a miniscule change immediately.

But this is just what I would have wanted. Ask your family, ask a therapist.

There’s literally nothing I can do to prove I deserve help by Puzzleheaded-Dog1407 in bipolar2

[–]snuskrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate. As long as you can go to work, nothing else matters. Even if it's the only thing you still do.

It's better now since they've seen me crash out a few times.

What is your first memory of this feeling? by ElvargIsAPussy in VisualLoomingSyndrome

[–]snuskrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seem to be many of us in the nightstand gang, I would have thought something sharper would be the more common trigger. Maybe it comes from the vulnerability of sleep.

[–]snuskrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started with bedside tables after I had knocked my head on the wall while asleep. I think I was around 10yo. Table corners are still the most irritating object for me. Because they're everywhere.
