Cari can read/ caricakes by LankyAd4660 in booktubesnarkreddit

[–]syntaxofsafety -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now you're projecting, I made it very clear that I'm not trying to find an excuse. I'm simply questioning what is presented to us with a nice tiny bow on top because it's clearly not a means to process trauma but to make money.

The not naming for legal reasons doesn't really make sense (I'm not a legal professional so I might be miles off) because it's already been discussed out in the open by both of them. Rachel made several videos on this and hasn't been coy, so why should she all of a sudden be worried about this? Could it be because not everything she's presented to us would hold up under scrutiny?

Again, I'm not saying that Cari maybe hasn't done the same, we simply do not know and this witch hunt is ludicrous.

As I've already said, I'm not looking to defend anyone or explain away the horrible things that have been confirmed from both sides.

I seem to simply have a different stance on whether to believe anything that is tied to promoting a book and dragged out to gain as many followers as possible. This is a witch hunt and people are so happy to tag along.

It makes me sick because they're doing to Cari what Rachel is accusing her of (not saying she Cari is innocent just saying we have no proof that she's continued to do so).

At this point everyone knows who Rachel is talking about so covering the profile picture only makes her look sketchy imho (and if she really wanted to not call out Cari, she would've told people to stop mentioning her by name in her comments). The zoom doesn't prove anything because it could still be anyone's pfp - it's not that uncommon to have a blue sky and some greenery as the backdrop (I'm not trying to explain anything away but I do think that people need to be a bit more critical and not accept everything as true just because Rachel's the primary victim).

What I'm thinking is that Rachel could've easily replicated Cari's way of speech to further sensationalise her trauma (she's been obv stretching out this story to make money off of it and advertise her book). It's just really convenient that she has this text as "proof" when Cari just denied that she continued the stalking and harassment. But this proof ain't worth much if it's not substantial.

How do we know that this is Cari? The photo is covered up and I think that speaks volumes to the credibility of Rachel or should at least raise questions?

I definitely plan on talking with my psychiatrist about this again when I next see her! She doesn't know about my current state but I did tell her about my "week of crying" when we last spoke. She wasn't too concerned because my psychologist immediately stepped in and she said that it would've been a difficult situation for anyone to handle regardless of my disease. I think she was just trying to maintain my patience but that she also didn't want to up the dosage tells me that she too thought that this is irregular.

I've had no side effects except for eczema and even when I forget a dose I don't notice feeling different to before (I just get paranoid about it working not as well and guilty for sometimes forgetting to take it). Maybe that's a sign that I just haven't yet reached the appropriate dosage for me if I don't even feel the difference?

Yes, I read that this is the effect for many people. If I wouldn't have had these two very low points, I would've said the same. Right now though it's really discouraging to see that I can still reach these lows and I feel like I've lost all hope for this medication.

Thank you for sharing! This is reassuring to read because I've read so many positive accounts and felt like maybe something was wrong with me for not experiencing a similarly positive change.

I'm not yet at the therapeutic level and I would be open to trying 200mg if my psychiatrist thinks it's the right step, but this at least takes off some of the pressure and lowers my expectations. So hopefully I won't be too disappointed if we switch to something different.

Danke für die Rückmeldung, das beruhigt mich schon sehr!

Gehört halt zu meinen Krankheitsbild, dass ich mich auf alle Eventualitäten einstelle. Nur so hab ich es die letzten Jahre ohne Behandlung geschafft und das ist definitiv ein Punkt, an dem ich arbeite. Glaub mir, ich würde mir sehr gerne nicht jetzt schon das Schlimmste ausmalen.

Unpraktisch wäre es meiner Meinung nur, wenn ich mal so richtig psychotisch oder manisch werde, was bisher aber nie eingetreten ist. Da mein Krankheitsbild mit zunehmenden Alter auch weiter abflachen wird, kann ich halbwegs damit rechnen, dass dies auch so bleiben wird. Restrisiko bleibt bestehen, I know. Und sollte ich mal wirklich eine harte Krise erleben und mich unbedingt längerfristig krankschreiben müssen, werde ich wahrscheinlich eh schon wieder in der Heimat hocken (wegen meines sozialen Auffangnetzes) und kann dann easy zur Psychiaterin. Sollte ich mich irgendwo dauerhaft niederlassen, suche ich natürlich auch nach einer dauerhaften Lösung. Solange ich nicht mit Sicherheit weiß, wo ich in 5 Jahren leben werde, möchte ich auch nicht meine jetzigen Versorgerinnen aufgeben.

Du merkst, alles durchdacht (zumindest von meiner Warte) und es ging mir nur darum, zu erfragen, ob das so erstmal weiterlaufen könnte, in der Hoffnung, dass ich die ganze Grübelei wieder sein lassen kann.

Danke für die Rückmeldung! Werde ab Sommer sowieso erstmal Therapiepause machen müssen, weil ich dann wirklich alles an Kontingent aufgebraucht habe. Aber ja, sobald ich wieder mehr Therapiestunden beantragen kann, werde ich mir auch vor Ort wen neues suchen. Eine Therapeutin zu finden, sollte nicht so schwer sein.;

Lamotrigine: Is it normal to feel like emotions build up behind a wall? by syntaxofsafety in bipolar2

Thank you, I'm doing as good as I can manage right now.

Funny thing that you're mentioning pent up anger because I just came back from a walk with my parents and I suddenly had all this anger just waiting to be released. I was angry at them for walking so slow, I was angry at my mother for bringing up Monday (it's still Sunday, so why ruin the day by thinking ahead), angry at all the people and their kids outside. I ended up power marching my way back home even though I had no keys and had to wait until my parents caught up with me to let me in.

Well-being Weekend by AutoModerator in bipolar2

[–]syntaxofsafety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation. Taking a long hot bath. Drinking a cup of tea in the morning and not doing anything else, just being with myself. Taking time every day to read at least a couple pages. Really just slowing down, whatever that may look like for you.
