well thanks for that I guess. I read a few things on bpd and it sounds like my biography. now I just need to figure out how to work on it. finding a therapist here that isnt awful is surprisingly difficult

Worst case scenario I can work for 4 years unrestricted and it's an entry level/no education position so I'm not sure why that would be an issue.
|
There's two types of bpd and I have both of them and with medication it's bearable 🐻

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Yeah anhedonia sounds more like what I have. I had a lovely early life with neglectful parents and a bunch of mental and physical health problems that I couldn't even begin to address until my mid 20s. Now I'm almost 40 and I'm still just barely getting by. When I don't have to worry about money I'm pretty happy, I just struggle to stay employed and have much of a social life due to aforementioned issues.

It's also kind of inevitable to have mental health issues and increased therapy needs if you are someone who has ever come into contact with CSPAM or the global news. Makes sense to have a way to express it and come together about it

I feel like I've had a problem with actively seeking out scenarios that make me angry. I feel like that's already a terrible idea when I get really angry at little things anyway, which makes me do incredibly stupid poo poo like melting down over stuff, randomly attacking people because they believe in things that I don't really like myself, and so on. Honestly, I really hate that a lot of it is tied to my account here forever because I really hate making myself look like an rear end in a top hat on such a small place because people make note of it and remember that when they see me posting elsewhere. I dunno, maybe I should just not concern myself with that since I think the consequences of my really dumb actions matters less than that I keep doing dumb stuff. At the very least, I've stopped reading the threads that get me into an awful mood, such as the climate change thread because I feel like that really stresses me out. Baby steps, I guess.

SunAndSpring posted:I feel like I've had a problem with actively seeking out scenarios that make me angry this is I think something people get mixed up when trying to recognize their own behaviors. I had to realize how much I sabotaged any relationships I had. it didnt make sense to me because Id behind myself over backwards to do things for people or give them stuff or help them whatever. but then I finally realized I still ultimately wanted people to reject me. I wanted them to reject me in spite of everything I do to make it seem more like I was a good person and it wasnt actually my fault. I still do it sometimes and I dont really know how to stop because its compensating for the fact that I cant stand myself. but Im doing it less. and unraveling the weirdness that is my brain typically gives me some relief at least.

FactsAreUseless posted:If this thread wasn't valuable I or someone else would have gassed it. I think it works better because CSPAM knows they're not qualified to give more advice than "get therapy." It's just people sharing their own experiences with mental health. I think it's cool that it's possible - it's nice to have a place online where you can actually have and express emotions without having to constantly project power. From the beginning I was very careful to vomit up a bunch of caveat emptor resources and a testimonial and then keep it as a group therapy style chat instead of "COME ON DOWN AND GET YOUR DIAGNOSIS." I'm super happy it's worked and self maintaining now. Everybody give yourself a pat on the back, acting like reasonable adults is the reason we have nice things

was going to a psychologist for a few months, didn't feel like i got anywhere and then she left for a new position, so in an hour I get to do a meet/greet with a new guy - yay for tying to explain how i'm a mess despite being better off than the vast majority of people and while i absolutely want children i can't get around the fact that its pretty loving awful to force someone into existence given the trainwreck currently in motion and the unending depression and ennui that computer touching leaves people with and and and and and

You give a little presentation on your backstory and then field any questions curious folk have about your experiences with mental illness. I do one around ~1mo and they almost always need people to go to hospitals. I thought I'd be wasting my time because lol I think everyone in the rec room me included knows all about mental illness but it's such a big deal for them to see someone functional with the same problems they do, it gives a lot of them hope

I want to improve my mood, I feel too angry all the time. meditation might help with the stuff you're doing DBT for, like anger. as someone still getting into meditating, and trying to practice with any degree of regularity, i've found some of these guided audio files useful: https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/fmph/research/mindfulness/programs/mindfulness-programs/MBSR-programs/Pages/audio.aspx i'm mostly trying to use the book The Mind Illuminated tho. you can probably 'find' a copy of it online if you look  edit: i'm someone pretty wary of the claims most people touting meditation make, and wary of the whole thing in general because of its connection to religion/mysticism/'woo.' if you have any of those concerns, that book i mentioned is especially good Finicums Wake has issued a correction as of 13:20 on Aug 29, 2019 |

i wish i could get my therapist and my doctor in the same room and ask things like "why does it feel like my adderall is going sideways on me and makes it so i can't pay attention to my work whatsoever for an entire day?" like sometimes i feel like it helps me focus, but other times i get double ADD and i'm just fidgety and can't focus on anything but posting and similar small bites that don't require me to sit still and keep focused on one thing.

My Adderall does that to me sometimes as well. I always figured it's because I'm on the lowest starter dose and I need more of that sweet sweet dextro.
