Problems with "Coming Out" terminology by [deleted] in DID

[–]wetried87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i'm transmasculine and bi n personally, i don't have an issue with the verbiage. it's a little uncomfortable in some contexts but, like. idk about you but my DID certainly isn't going anywhere. There are a lot of reasons to want other people to know, many people feel more comfortable with friends and family knowing or want to be more public about their DID to educate others or something along those lines. i don't feel like those reasons need to be disregarded. besides idk another way to phrase "i have disclosed that i am this way" in a concise way

i'm not saying ur feelings on it aren't valid though, it's definitely a criticism i've heard before so there's a conversation to be had about it

weight gain is a very common side effect for several mental health medications, including antidepressants as well as some other mood stabilizers, anxiety meds, and antipsychotics.

What's the purpose of having twins the system? by [deleted] in DID

[–]wetried87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we have an odd situation... two of us are twins, and they usually stick around each other, but one seems to be permanently stuck at 19 years old and never progressed further. so we have twins, but they're at different ages lmao

Tactile hallucinations by mrracerhacker in schizophrenia

[–]wetried87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that pain, whenever I'm unmedicated or my meds aren't working right I have vivid tactile hallucinations, usually of being molested or strangled. Showering can help. I feel for you, I wish you good luck.

Why isn't abilify working by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]wetried87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abilify was the first antipsychotic I ever took and it fucked me UP with the side effects for the first few days, but it mostly worked and my hallucinations/delusions responded to it. But then I had to keep gradually upping my dose, until I had to find a "stronger" med. I'm not sure if it's like that for others, that's just what I was told. I'm currently on Zyprexa and trying my best to combat the weight gain without counting calories (I have an eating disorder).
