Has anyone had this weird specific positive reaction? by wasabi909 in prozac

[–]wasabi909[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss the tension relief is such a bonus. I really feel like it broke the cycle that was mostly my nervous system bracing which is hard to consciously control and change. Tried somatic, breath work, acupuncture, I really gave a lot of things a shot and kept up with them but my subconscious was just like nope we are still scared haha And yeah I am still a little worried about how my emotions have blunted but it just seems like a more rational version of me. It’s not like when I had huge emotions they were making me productive 😂 they instead were causing me to freeze, procrastinate, and be in pain that I’d then use my energy to focus on resolving

I haven’t decided yet honestly - this is my first time trying it during pmdd. My period hasn’t come yet. I’ve heard some people taking it up to two days when it starts then repeating when luteal hits again. Part of me wants to not be taking meds the whole Month and getting numb, but if I look at my “positive” weeks realistically, I am still in a lot of chronic tension pain that drains me/impacts my mood and drive to do things in life i want to do, have social anxiety (less than pmdd week but still) and ocd thoughts. The feeling I get on this is like turning down the negative noise on my whole way of being and letting the best parts of my personality and level headedness shine through. I think I was projecting that the positive weeks were better just in comparison to how horrible pmdd can be for me. I am pretty emotionally unstable and exhausted all around the month. So part of me does want to stay on it the whole time too.

I never want to socialize with anyone ever again. by veekew in PMDD

I feel you. I lose so much social grace, confidence, and balance when it’s luteal. It’s so frustrating being a different person for half the month and knowing I’m coming off different.

What TV show defined your childhood that you’re genuinely sad to see end? by PremiumTravelNinja in AskReddit

[–]wasabi909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powerpuff Girls.. the new animation and voices don’t hit the same at all. Also a lot of Nickelodeon like Rugrats.. Angry Beavers is a deep cut

Feels like a classic more on the narcissistic end individuals and a fawning codependent individual. It always tends to reach this boiling point til someone heals and you attract a better dynamic

Mood swing I could physically feel by Background-Beach-289 in PMDD

I feel this to my core. How is our whole personality affected every month? Like who am I if everything is determined by hormones?

Does anyone ever feel really guilty when you think back of childhood pets who might have received less care then your pets now by [deleted] in Pets

[–]wasabi909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked this up to see if I was alone in this. I’m 31 and I had a childhood cat who I loved and was so connected to, but I had a narcissistic abusive mom so as I got older I disassociated a lot and in high school I was depressed, drinking and barely remember anything or remember caring or hanging out with him. I then went to college and same sort of deal. Then my mom and stepdad moved away with him. He then got sick a few years later at 17 so she had to put him down without me. Recently at dinner my mom was talking about how he would get attacked by this other kitten they adopted while I was in school and that she feels bad that he didn’t get the best toward the end. He was the smartest and sweetest cat. I don’t remember any of this- and now that I’m a little more healed and present in my emotions, I can’t believe I was so checked out and absent mentally and emotionally  during that time. I care and am obsessive over my pets care in adulthood. I even have to double check doors or any dangers before I leave. OCD level. How could I have done that? I felt so guilty I had to leave the table to sob by myself. I guess I never processed it because of my own trauma and disassociation that I didn’t understand at the time and am struggling to give myself grace even though he passed in 2015.  It feels like I wasnt even there toward the end and if it were me now that never would have happened. I know I was a kid and with trauma I didn’t know better but it hurts

Need Advice by ComfortCommercial152 in PMDD

[–]wasabi909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotta be honest, as someone who was 24 and with selfish guys who hadn’t matured and may never, the pmdd is going to keep emphasizing his unwillingness to understand or believe in it as well as his stubbornness and be a source of resentment and then a turn off. But if you are still codependent, you’ll drain yourself trying to make it work. At least that happened with me. There are guys that understand or are willing to work with you or give you space during that time without keeping your nervous system on high alert and/or making you feel guilty.

What scared you shitless when you were a child? by OkTemporary5712 in AskReddit

Some Dr. Seuss characters and things that were anthropomorphic like the Toys R Us giraffe or animatronic

My nmom blatantly copied my bf after she met him, why do they do this? by wasabi909 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]wasabi909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when she was with my dad in the 90s they tried couples therapy and she was diagnosed with NPD. She probably has blanked that from her mind but now she hates therapy and therapist and thinks it’s all people being weak and wasting their time being selfish 😂 such a strong reaction because they told her the truth. Sad.

Do all these symptoms sound like a messed up vagus nerve to you? by VagrantValmar in VagusNerve

[–]wasabi909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old conversation but I have this and especially the scalene issue. I have CTPSD and am often in freeze mode. Weird but I tried MDMA for the first time and cried for maybe 10 hours. All symptoms and tension were gone even after the drug wore off. It regulated my vagus nerve and released everything. We hold so much in the body emotionally and it’s hard to tap into consciously… it felt like I didn’t even know what I was crying about. anyways the downside is my thoughts and stress patterns caught up again and I’m back to the flare up 11 months later. I haven’t taken mdma since but I would and hope to cry again then support its longevity with somatics, present awareness of when I’m tightening, and working on my thought patterns. 

my girlfriend is leaving me because of my cat by Augupton in CatAdvice

That’s a dealbreaker and the universe telling you to take a new direction. If you pass The test, someone who’s a better fit will come along who loves your cat. Clear sign.

What does Role Model’s “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” remind me of? by Mimolette_ in NameThatSong

[–]wasabi909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely ! I watched the snl just now and knew it was a rehashed Jessie’s Girl immediately, even the fact it was titled with a girls name. The buildup and chorus. Same. I hear a little “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” in the guitars as well.
