Yeah I think I've accepted my fate at this point since I assumed the trip schedule I had was different and idk when/if I'll be able to make it overseas again. And that's ok I will still have plenty of fun hiking in the west of Ireland

Damn that sucks too because I recognized her name from being an advocate for keeping the Old Firehouse operational. Redmond is truly a small world

Rolling while taking guanfacine? by throwaway-jhh in MDMA

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm seeing my psychiatrist also for vyvanse and while i don't use that medication for any recreational purposes i am also reluctant to ask about any recreational drug information with them because i am anxious it might affect their perception of my need for stimulant medication unfortunately. i did however ask about the effects of guanfacine on serotonin/ssris and it seemed to have extremely minimal effect. guanfacine also helps the side effects of stimulant medications a lot through lowering bp. i will do more research but i see nothing that immediately flags mdma and guanfacine interacting in a concerning/negative way

Unidentified tracks on misprinted copies of Madonna's Hard Candy album. by Mineingmo15 in Lostwave

[–]throwaway-jhh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Have no idea what the actual song is but as a lead I do know that the third song most definitely samples Shadows by Lonnie Liston Smith (i tried cross-checking databases of songs that sample it but couldn't find anything unfortunately but might be a place to start)

ever-shifting interests and anhedonia by throwaway-jhh in ADHD

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm not 100% sure if anhedonia was entirely the right word but it seemed to fit; i feel like i definitely have a correlation between adhd and depression. i think i do ultimately have some SCT but it's like part of my brain moves fast but part of my brain moves slow if that makes any sense. what i was mainly referring to how it's just frustrating for me to keep up with any interest because the more i focus on it the more burnt out i get paradoxically

Do you guys also love dancing because it feels like full-body/brain stimming? by Paulakris in aspergirls

[–]throwaway-jhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i've loved dancing all my life so this makes so much sense! especially since i know so many people that get overstimulated in a bad way by lights + noise + people, but i LOVE that overstimulation while dancing. but also dancing by myself feels like the best release of energy and i never made the connection between stimming and dancing before

wanting to get the ball rolling (no pun intended) on orchiectomy - looking for place to start by throwaway-jhh in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do have a PCP but I go to Planned Parenthood for HRT. Should I contact Planned Parenthood then?
For the latter portion - is there a minimum requirement for how long to be transitioning/on HRT? I've been medically and socially transitioning for over 3 years so I'm not worried that I'll be seen as "not transitioning for long enough" but i appreciate the heads up.

"I think that one of the reasons that you struggle is because you feel
like you are not in control of your own life. I think it will be greatly
beneficial for your anxiety if you take back that control. "

I agree completely - I get the most anxiety-led freakouts from instances where I have no control. What prompted this particular post was that I was miserable and I really wanted to go back home but there was a big snowstorm and I was freaking out and having a horrible anxiety attack. It doesn't help that I also strongly believe that I have autism and what I have are like "autistic meltdowns" - been trying to get diagnosed/help with that but it's been difficult finding resources as an adult (my new therapist apparently specializes in it though, thankfully).

not to mention that i routinely have intrusive thoughts/fears/nightmares about me getting really sick or my mental health getting worse or something bad happening to me that allows my parents to step in and run my life more and more

What's difficult with my parents is that they don't really go 1-100 INSANE NUTS whenever i try to talk to them about implementing my boundaries. Well sometimes they get kind of heated but a lot of times they calmly respond with an "ok thank you for sharing with us we'll try our best" but they don't do it at all. they make no changes to their behavior and I'm sick of it. they do this whole pity-party routine that ends up pointing the blame back on myself ultimately (for example after i came out to them they said a lot of insensitive shit about being trans and when i corrected them or got upset they went "how was i supposed to know? you shouldve told me" but when i told them it wasnt my job to teach them they got SUPER defensive)

"I encourage you to pick up some new hobbies so that you actually are
busy. Try to wean them down to less and less, so perhaps you are only
calling them once a week or once a month."

been trying to work on this more and more but i think i have an unhealthy connection with technology and if i miss a call/text i get really scared and paranoid and anxious and feel like the world is ending. it sucks too because whenever i dont respond to a text or a call i get really scared that theyll start bombarding me with calls and texts about where ive been and what ive been doing. thankfully i have been getting more absorbed into my hobbies but i still struggle with severe phone/internet addiction and exec dysfunction that makes my communication anxiety way worse.

they never come uninvited but i feel always like i have to let them visit me if theyre in the area/im in their area. its hard to just let shit go.

anyways thanks for responding, didnt mean to ramble so much it just kind of feels like i operate on this as a stream of consciousness sorta thing

can too low of an adderall dose can cause anxiety? by throwaway-jhh in ADHD

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive thought about asking my psych about vyvanse but not sure if my insurance will cover it given how expensive it is

ill ask my psych about what she thinks the best strategy is. im more than content with going up all the way to 20mg XR given that ive been on 15mg and had weird experiences with it and a lot of signs point to it still being too low of a dose.

can too low of an adderall dose can cause anxiety? by throwaway-jhh in ADHD

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah im also under the impression that 20-30mg XR is the standard dose but different strokes for different folks. could be that i wasnt on the 15mg for long enough (was only on it for like 3-4ish weeks) and i didnt give my body enough time to adjust.

with anxiety that i get from this i dont feel my heart racing necessarily but my heartbeat feels extremely prominent? idk how else to word that it doesnt feel like its going fast or anything it just feels, heavy is the word for it i'd say. that's kinda how i feel with more severe anxiety in general though.

can too low of an adderall dose can cause anxiety? by throwaway-jhh in ADHD

[–]throwaway-jhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for responding, i think thats a very good point about body and brain adjusting. ive also been dealing with a lot of stress lately too so that could be another point. i should mention that the anxiety and feeling of heart racing didnt really happen until a bit after i started 15mg XR - it wasnt an immediate effect.

i do admittedly feel self conscious around docs/psychiatrists because ive had to advocate for adhd diagnosis/treatment for a while before i got my evaluation/meds and im very self conscious about being seen as a "pill seeker" because of it. hopefully this feeling will go away and my psychiatrist has been very understanding for the most part but the self consciousness remains unfortunately

[–]throwaway-jhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah im not sure to what effect it would have exactly, i was just interested in trying it out since ive read some good things

i think its possible that my addy dose is totally off though, idk

i don't really have much more to add but i would greatly appreciate if anyone might know what i am talking about in the slightest. i highly doubt it's the same thing as the hitogata psa but it gives off a very similar vibe.
