#Depressive Disorder

[neuroticboyfriend]

do you have "treatment resistant depression" or are you just fundamentally living a life that would make anyone depressed?

are you just dealing with abuse, poverty, and oppression? are you just dealing with a lifetime of trauma? do we just live in a society where peoples basic needs are neglected, and the completely understanble response to that is pathologized? on purpose? so that it's just an individual problem and people arent Trying Enough... so nothing about the system has to change?

...do you have "treatment resistant depression," or do you just need real community, support, resources, and protection?

Npd + depression culture is wanting to delete everything, tumblr, discord, everything, block all your friends, throw your phone out a window and run away, but not being able to because no one irl pays attention to you, and if you left Tumblr, then there'd be no one left to notice you and give you attention.

Has anyone else been feeling like the most annoying piece of shit ever or is it just me??

[hpdcultureis]

Hpd + depression culture is yeah I know I'm avoiding everyone right now but how dare you not give me attention. I'm supposed to open the app to a bunch of unread messages to not respond to.

🦂🪷 <- so we can find this later.

Being neurodivergent is so fun (/sarcastic) because you can stand there for a solid hour or two not being able to choose what to eat for a variety of reasons that only another neurodivergent people understand. Keep in mind these aren't meant to sound logical. Hence neurodivergent. We know it doesn't make sense logically, but we still feel what we feel. Texture Flavor Memories/association Doesn't go with today's mood You 'Don't deserve it today' If I eat this then I can't have this because it'll mess with this Misinterpreting/misremembering what something is Based on color Based on Order Wanting something mid-cooking and then changing your mind Simply a "I could have this or I could have that" and us being a little more emotional over the fact that we can't always have both at the same time. And then of course our dilemmas of when we do choose our food WHY IS IT TOUCHING WHY IS IT NOT MIXED (particularly added this one because there's some food I physically cannot eat unless they're mixed and I think it's an OCD thing, like mashed potatoes and corn-) PLEASE feel free to add on! I love hearing what other people have in their heads. These are just ones that i have on a daily basis. <3

CONDITION #725 - SLAVE JOY

Joy, you have to make Riley HAPPY or all this would be of NOTHING!

(Riley had a really really bad day at work and Anxiety has to make sure Riley can keep her job……at ALL COSTS.)

A breakdown of the concept:

Joy is wearing shoes, a tight belt and a hair tie. This represents restrains, a.k.a. being socially conformed

Two pegs to force a smile, as Joy is too exhausted to smile again (for both herself and Riley)

Chain of Shame and Memory Orb of Guilt: to ensure Joy remembers why Riley need to keep her smile at work

Anxiety dresses like a bossy woman for you know why

Joy’s new dress is no longer joyous but you can still see some vague flowery patterns. So maybe there are still some hope left? Meaning meaning…

TLDR: Joy is enslaved by Anxiety as she is the only emotion that can make Riley feel engaged at work. Will Joy (and even Riley) ever be able to recover from this extreme exploitation?

do y’all ever reminisce on the past and just go “damn i was really batshit crazy then” and proceed to remain batshit crazy or no.

ANDREW GARFIELD

aka Peter Parker stay to top of building [deleted scene] from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (2014, dir Mark Webb)

This scene alone portrays Peter Parkers depressive disorder without even saying a word. Andrew did an amazing work here. One of the best scenes and they have deleted it. Screw u Sony.

TASM is like a slice of life movie in a super hero movie, and the third film about Peter’s life after the tragedy, was robbed from us.

Hello internet, I wanna share my experience with a less-talked-about medication side effect.

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological condition that involves involuntary movement of the face, neck, limbs, or trunk muscles. It is broasly defined as a tic disorder, like Tourette's. It's caused by the use of certain medications, and is most often associated with first-generation antipsychotics. In fact, according to The Mayo Clinic, at least 20% of people using first-gen antipsychotics develop TD. However, it can also be caused by other types of medications. I got mine from my antidepressant.

During my last year of high school, increasing pressure in school led me to switching from escitalopram (aka Lexapro) to bupropion (aka Wellbutrin). And to its credit, Wellbutrin worked about as well as it could or really needed to, so I stayed on it. Until around June 2022, when in a movie theater I noticed that my mouth felt tight, as if my cheeks weren't sitting right on my teeth. So I smirked a little, trying to wiggle the feeling away. As an autistic person, weird body sensations weren't anything new to me, so I didn't think anything of it. Until I couldn't stop doing it. Nothing would make the feeling in my mouth stop. I didn't say anything about it at the time, because I figured it wouldn't get taken seriously by my GP. After all, I was a young female-presenting patient during a time where people "faking Tourette's" was considered a major trend. So I hid it for months. And the tics spread, from my face to my neck and shoulders. It got to the point where I didn't even notice I was doing it as I talked, and I worried about how it would affect my ability to drive. By the time I finally switched back to Lexapro, the neuromuscular pathways were formed, and there was nothing else that can be done. Although they're a lot less frequent nowadays, I still grimace when I'm tired or stressed, and sometimes I'll even shimmy my shoulders or stretch my neck to the side.

The only reason why I even knew TD was a condition was because I watched a psychiatrist youtuber reacting to old videos about psych wards, wherein he mentioned it as a side effect of the antipsychotics they would've used at the time.

While some have reported early intervention can reverse it, TD is hard to spot in its early stages and it gets progressively worse as you continue to take the medication that caused it. If not caught in time, it is likely to be irreversible.

I'm not telling you this as some bid to malign any medication or convince you to not take yours. I'm not sure I would've made it to graduation if I didn't take Wellbutrin, and the majority of people out there that take TD-causing medications don't develop it. What I am saying is that, if the corners of your mouth feel kind of itchy and shirts don't feel like they fit quite right on your shoulders, don't wait to talk to your doctor about switching your medication.

depressed npd culture is I wish I could care about my friends having a bad few days. Or being really stressed out about chores or homework. I really wish I could care at all. But everytime they share something like that with me, all I can think about is talking about it my own suffering. Cause I have it worse, and I know they don't understand the extent to which I have it worse. For that I can't help but be bitter (and I hate it so much. I wish this wasn't my first impulse. All I can do is outwardly be humble and empathetic while feeling like the biggest piece of shit in the whole wide world its craaazyyy).

hpd + depression culture is entering a depressive episode and trying to signal to your friends something is wrong so they pay attention to you and ask what’s wrong (but you can’t outright say because then they could do the opposite and leave)
