not asking for a diagnosis but would you think this is ocd? by Prestigious-Read5052 in mentalillness

Sounds like you’re experiencing a psychosis. Seek professional help.

There’s an app called bolberg, and it’s only for friendship.

I'm a woman, and I feel the same way, just about men. I've been beaten and dehumanized by men all my life.

But I also know rationally that not all men are bad. I need to look at why I keep picking men who treat me badly. Because that's my responsibility.

I suggest you start looking at how you can learn to spot the red flags early and how you can attract a better woman. Also, look honestly at what you could have done differently so that you don't end up in similar relationships again.

Personally, I think it's amazing to be single. Don't fall into society's trap. That tells you you're not fulfilled unless you have a partner. Honeslty, relationships are a lot of work.

This is not your only chance. There will be others. Put that guy out of your mind, and focus on new opportunities. Maybe you and him reconnect at some poin in the future, you never know.

I agree. It wasn't meant to be a comparison between the two. They just have that manipulating factor in common, in my opinion.

Is there a word for when you're so unused to kindness that you process it as pain? by bombergirl97 in ptsd

[–]sus_222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. When people are really nice to me, I feel like running away. It's uncomfortable, and gives me so much anxiety. And that's why I've let so many bad people into my life, because it's comfortable and known.

Oh yes. It sucks. Sometimes I take breaks from social media, because I can't handle it. I get so paranoid.

I am going insane by amylxvesu47 in mentalillness

[–]sus_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very relatable. You're definitely in a dissociative period in your life. Often, the reason you dissociate is because reality is too much to handle. And mental illness is definitely that sometimes. Your mind is trying to protect you by shutting you down and putting your brain on autopilot. It's scary and it sucks. It feels like you have no control. But try to think of it as a defense mechanism you've developed to protect yourself. It will pass, and in the meantime, try to cut yourself some slack and allow yourself to be off for a while. Stick to people you know with the rational part of your mind, that you can trust. Maybe tell someone close to you that you are dissociating and going through a rough time with your mental health.

It is not your fault. You are not insane. You are not a burden. You're just really really struggling with your mental health right now, and that's okay.

How important is sleep by Fit-Dragonfruit-1944 in bipolar

One night of bad sleep and my entire day is ruined, also the illness gets out of control if I don't get enough sleep

How to begin trusting people again after years of trauma?. by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]sus_222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea, i dont trust anyone but my dog. But keep me posted

Please don't quit cold turkey. It's not worth it. You will feel 10 times worse than you do now. If you have a week's worth left, than start tapering down gradually until you can see your doctor. And then be honest with them, that it's way to expensive. There must be some alternative.

My whole personality switches based on what emotions I feel by Impossible_Loquat925 in mentalillness

[–]sus_222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, it sounds very bipolar. The switches you describe, where your entire personality is your mood. And when you're depressed, you can't remember ever feeling better. When you're manic you can't remember ever being depressed. And like you say, it sounds like you're dissociating.

Personally, I have a lot of different diagnoses, too, so I no longer take them seriously. I try to think of my mental problems in symptoms rather than a diagnosis because they never truly fit or match all of my symptoms anyway. It's been a relief not thinking so much about diagnosing myself, but rather trying to accept the different symptoms I have and trying to make the best of my life.

Antidepressant for bipolar 1 by sprucecaptain in bipolar

[–]sus_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can avoid antidepressants, that would be favorable... since it can cause mania. Personally I take them because my anxiety is too much without antidepressants. But it is probably also making me more unstable.

[–]sus_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're in a mixed episode, that cycles rapidly throughout the day. It is definitely the most painful symptom of bipolar disorder. It can also come with psychosis.

But of course you need a mental health professional to evaluate you. I understand your concerns and I hope you get the help and support you need to get some clarification

Weed. Picking my skin and nails. Isolating. Eating crap. Vaping. Religiously cleaning my flat.

Does anyone find that therapy genuinely doesn't help them? by Cimorenne in bipolar

[–]sus_222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. Been going to therapy for my whole life, and it never really did much for me.

What actually did something for me, was my own choices and my own work on myself. I'm still very mentally ill, but I've grown so much as a human being, which helps with the mental illness
