has anybody tried taking those pharmacogenetic tests to figure out which drugs will most tickle your enzymes? like, genesight or pathway genomics a relative who's an MD recommended them but they also seem excruciatingly dystopian

Got dumped because I’m a depressed rear end in a top hat. poo poo sucks. Only good thing I’ve had happen to me is some old gently caress called me back after I told her she’d have to talk to a manager about getting a refund for something to ask for my name (presumably because she was mad I told her the manager is asleep since it’s 3 in the morning and somehow that offended her?) and I just laughed at her and hung up the phone.

Finally found a proper clinic for my terribly sick cat after looking around for 10 days. Cat got diagnosed with bowel obstruction and acute kidney failure. What a trip this will be

animist posted:has anybody tried taking those pharmacogenetic tests to figure out which drugs will most tickle your enzymes? like, genesight or pathway genomics I have! I've gone through a huge list of medications that didn't work, so my at the time new prescribing doc recommended GeneSight. There was one medication that was bad, everything else was normal, so hooray wasted test! So even if the test says you're okay for the medication, still doesn't mean it will work. So it's more for finding out what you shouldn't take and avoiding it, but it's still just another shot in the dark. My recommendation, fwiw, is to base your choice on your relationship with your prescribing doc. Mine rather sucks and although his intentions were probably good, did not/could not explain the results very well after I got them. GeneSight does have a sliding scale based on income. If you do decide to go through it, file away your test results! My ADHD rear end did not and I have no idea where they are, and now I have to trust that my pdoc filed the results at his office which ???

Still feel really bad about the break-up. Just feel very confused because my ex (that really feels bad to type) says it’s because I didn’t do anything to change my depressive mindset but I just don’t get what to do without a therapist to help, and I was asking him to do more stuff with me and get myself out of my misery cave for a change. It feels really bad, I thought my talk with him was going to correct the course and we would get back on track since I had some rough spots with intimacy but I guess I just kept getting into awful moods for him to care about me anymore in that way. God, I thought I was going to say “I love you” to him soon because I very much enjoyed the time we spent together. I wish I wasn’t such a grim person, I feel like I just constantly ruin things for myself.

Any advice on avoiding falling into a boring routine and getting depressed? I got out of my parent's house and moved into an apartment in a small city for work. Before that, I was commuting back and forth which put some limits on what I could reasonably do. I definitely want to do some volunteer work and get involved in local issues while also doing something hobby related. I tried Meetup which was okay. But it is easy for me to put off going to a meeting or feeling awkward and anxious if I go to a music show by myself.

ive had so many things to do lately i barely even game anymore, which honestly is a nice change of pace. i customize my clothing and bags with sew-on patches, have a huge stack of comics to catch up on slowly, full time school and a weekend job, i go for walks, shop clothes sales if i pass by one, read books an hour at a time some mornings at a cafe, plus there are concerts as you said or movies or sports or festivals. i used to be in a rut like you a few years ago but now i try to do a couple things from the list each day, unless its a full workday or somethin the sertraline helps too, i'm more in the moment and less in my head

But it is easy for me to put off going to a meeting or feeling awkward and anxious if I go to a music show by myself. I used to be this and like to think I'm way better now. Brain medicine and meditation helped some, but really it was just going out over and over got easier the more I did it. Like everything else it gets easier with practice. I made some of my best friends going to the same (anime) meetup consistently. A lot of times early on it was like a chore but I figured it was good for me to do the social. It took about a year or so before I felt like one of the guys, but I'm slow to warm up to people. There's not really a magic bullet. Just gotta make yourself do stuff and if you find people you can stand, try to see them consistently. Also no one cares if you're out alone and if they do they're the rear end in a top hat, not you.

I don't know how to ask this, here it goes. My sleep schedule is out of wack because of gerd and probably asthma too (the doc will get back to me). These issues will need to be fixed in the long run, but I need to do something in the short run. So if my sleep schedule isn't working for night consistently, what if I aimed for sleeping during the day or afternoon? How would that even play out? Edit: Oh, the maybe asthma thing. My PCP told me that I don't have allergies, and that I also have allergies so take allergy medication. The allergist I saw on Thursday did allergy tests that came up negative. She also did a lung test and I got much better results after using a nebulizer. RandomPauI has issued a correction as of 05:05 on Jul 15, 2019 |

The gerd and maybe asthma flare up at night, so I might not be able to sleep, or I might only get a few hours sleep before waking up with trouble breathing (sinus congestion or wheezing). What I had been doing was a few hours of sleep at night, then a few in the day. But I sleep better a few hours after sunrise. Consistent daytime sleeping feels like a better option than scattershot sleeping.

I am currently working on digging out of this hole and regrowing my interests outside of getting blackout drunk. it's really tough! for me once I tell someone I'm going to do something or say it out loud I'll do it, but I also have gotten good at putting that off. something kinda unique my therapist did is basically "bet" me that I would go to something I wanted to and I didn't I would have to donate $1 to a cause I don't agree with. this probably isn't for everyone and basically comes after 5 months of coming up with excuses. like another poster said, practice makes it easier. I was also really fortunate that the thing I went to was very newbie friendly Is there anything other than shows you're into? you may want to check out your local library district, mine puts on a surprisingly large amount of events that seem cool

I think I did an okay job at channeling some of the negativity into something good. I made a list of stuff I wanna read (mostly Marxist stuff and a couple of sci-fi story collections) and I drew something for the first time in forever https://twitter.com/agiantanteater/status/1150588032623501312?s=21

Doing creative stuff is MEGA helpful, and gives you something to find meetups for. It doesn't even have to be good, especially if you're doing [whatever] for therapeutic reasons. I mean drat that's what the Blues are for. Nice chameleon.

that chameleon is dope as hell, you should draw more lizards and stuff, and then post them here today I’m dealing with physical pain in addition to my usual brain problems, as I broke my isolation by spending the day down at the river with people yesterday, but to compensate, I ate poo poo on some underwater rocks on the way to our spot and broke my middle toe on its front joint. it’s like swollen and reddish purple and oozing just a tad. it’s been literally weeks since I socialized with my friends, I was starting to feel deranged, so I guess it was worth it I’ve never broken anything before, but drat, it hurts a little more than I expected. I’m also sunburned because I’m a goon and I spent six hours in the direct sun on big rocks hot enough to cook an egg. at least I’m on suboxone, I bet it would hurt more if I wasn’t already medicated, but simultaneously I’m probably developing opiate induced pain hypersensitivity and I can’t do anything about it, which is a bummer and makes me fearful about tapering really though I’m just glad I at least have a job with a room and a chair, millions of people have to go into service jobs more busted up than I am, and then stand for eight hours or do serious labor, reminding myself of that while I limp down the hall to a meeting

I just started archery.  It's worth googling around to see if there's a place in your area you can afford. I paid $35 at Pioneer Farms in Austin, and they brought equipment and everything. I got two bullseyes on my last two shots

my brother is seeking some help after a bout with bad depression. he's been on meds before but they didnt work for him. this is his first go 'round since getting sober and he's in a stable job with insurance and has an inexpensive place to live that he is buying from me for less than the cost of a new compact car. he's not a kid, and he's had a tough life, but I'm really proud of him for growing up a lot in the past couple years. I hope whatever treatment they put him on is affective and his life keeps improving. assuming he gets diagnosed with something, that'll be all four of us kids with broke brains. two are his and my stepsisters though my wife's family is also 4/4 on mentally ill children. we are firmly against having biological kids but I'd love to run a simulation as to what we'd produce for a kid without actually burdening the poor thing with life lol
