Day 1 of starting sertraline. Starting slow with 12.5mg. Slight nosebleed when blowing my nose but my apartment is dry so it's not completely unwarranted.

At least 10 different medical "professionals" when I tell them the entire story of me developing POTS, which started with "I got the covid booster": Well, the vaccine doesn't cause *insert whatever the suspected diagnosis of the week was* so that's irrelevant

One cardiologist under the age of 40: Actually, we are starting to see a connection between COVID, the booster, and dysautonomia, particularly in younger people, and especially if they have an autoimmune disorder.

#fuck you fuck you fuck ALL of you and your dismissive bullshit #I HAD TO SUGGEST POTS #None of them were even thinking along those lines #One provider even told me 'dizziness isn't a common symptom of POTS'#dizziness? you think dizziness isn't a common side effect of the too-much-blood-rushing-to-the-lower-half-of-the-body disorder?#I fucking can't with these people #my cardiologist walked into the room and said 'I think I understand your symptoms but tell me everything from the beginning'#then proceeded to say 'yeah this absolutely sounds like POTS and I'm glad you recognized it let's talk about a treatment plan'#I did have to wear a little dude on my chest for two days #heart rate monitor I think #and the adhesive have me a rash #but it's off now and I've been doing all the things he suggested and oh my god I can sing again #Like I have actual good breath support and can sing. and I can talk in long phrases without frequent pauses to catch my breath #I ran a few days ago I actually fucking ran and it didn't kill me #the dizziness is getting better #thank fuck for good doctors #lex rambles

Having a B3 overdose be like

#for the record im okay now #but an hour ago i thought i was dying of an allergic reaction #i felt like a vampire stepping out into the sun and catching fire #my whole face chest upper back elbows arms had red patches like hives #no itching no swelling no dizziness could still breathe and blood pressure was good #but i felt like i dived into a pool of lava #i seriously thought “oh shit this is spontaneous human combustion im gonna end up in a ripleys believe it or not special.”#“guess ill die!”#still monitoring symptoms in case i gotta hit the er tonight but I'm feeling better #ive been taking b3 for a long time and never had a response like this maybe my body is thinking fuck this shit we're done #i checked off everything ive drank and eaten today and listed my meds im confident its this shit #still gonna go to the docs tomorrow for a follow up #but if i can dodge a 10000+ ER charge to the medical debt i already carry imma do that #im too impoverished for the weewoo mobile guys #murica for ya #anyway if you take b3 watch your six on this shit #(i know i gotta take it seriously but seeing the humor and making fun of myself helps me cope)#magenta is my vent word

I got my stress test and had the holt monitor put on today! The good news is my weird heart issues don't seem to be triggered solely by physical exertion (heart was still weird and was dizzy on sitting/standing up just like in previous tests, but my heart didn't get MORE weird when my heart rate increased). Which makes sense since half the time I'll literally just be laying in bed falling asleep or sitting at my PC when I feel it go through a little episode, so it's clearly happening ALL the time and not just when moving around. So that rules a few things out! Now I've got the heart monitor on, and I'll wear it for 5 days (meaning it can consistently catch what's going on) and I have to keep a little diary of what I'm doing whenever I have symptoms. It's progress!

#i feel like it went good tbh #basically my heart did the same thing as all the other tests #which is whenever it feels like it it just goes AODNDIAIBD and then back to normal #which is better than the first day of symptoms when it felt like EVERY beat was wrong wrong wrong #he didn't *think* it was afib and is leaning POTS based on my other symptoms but still wasn't sure #the holt monitor and then the echo will help a lot #both to catch the weird heartbeats and to check if there's any heart damage #i'm optimistic ultimately!

you know how sometimes the symptom you experience is not actually that much of a bother physically, but it reminds you of there being something bad and out of your control going on in your body to a point of deflating your mood and making you want to crawl back into bed with a book to take your mind off the circumstances of your actual physical existence. Or is that just me

#i was very okay with the no surgery just monitoring decision because surgery is not nice #but. maybe i should have surgery foe mental health reasons #i don't think i actually do well with the feeling of this hanging over my head all the time #like What If it does become cancer? is always in my mind whenever i experience minor symptoms that make me hyperaware of it again

Semi-related but not really. Why the fuck was my heartrate 163 at 9:30 this morning. I hadn't even left the house yet and I'd only been out of bed for like. 10 minutes max.

#man why weren't they doing my holter monitor any day This week my heart has been absolutely unhinged the last few days #it was relatively normal for me the day they did it although I was def still having symptoms lmao #but they didn't get to see This Shit which it does pretty consistently.#like within the minute of 10:39am it went between 143 and 70. what the fuck.#armchair speaks #actually disabled #physically disabled

honestly one of my least favourite things about online spaces centered around cluster b personality disorders is that they almost treat the disorders as an in joke. like its never quite anti recovery rhetoric but a lot of the times it feels like it becomes this thing where something harmful gets spurred on as a personality trait to nurture rather than a symptom to keep an eye on. freaks me the fuck out.

it could be because growing up i was pretty familiar with cluster b spaces and i lost a couple of friendships due to it becoming this whole "i have this disorder now i have to knowingly indulge the more harmful and dangerous symptoms im supposed to be treating to really prove i have this disorder!" thing.

like babes i still believe youre borderline, you dont need to go full tilt maintaining a numbered and ranked list of the people most important to you and assigning a fp role to someone who frankly is not responsible for your stability.

#i lost a friend yeeeeaaaars ago like almost 10 years ago now #who discovered npd and started using it as a justification for treating us like shit and seeing us as lesser #which was so fucking crazy to me as someone whos pretty fucking certain they have npd #bc if anything its made me a hell of a lot more aware of how i treat people around me #because like theres a lot worse things i can be than arrogant and self obsessed. but i dont wanna be arrogant and self obsessed AND cruel #like i fell victim to the borderline personality trait shit as a kid hardcore #and didnt realise i was probably comorbid npd til literally last year so i dodged that #but literally the reason i didnt realise it was probably also npd is because of how people dehumanize people w npd #like most of my exposure to npd in my own life has been absolute fucking menaces #but so has bpd. the people with bpd who have remained part of my life have always been people w bpd who keep an eye on their behaviour #bc no personality disorder makes you evil but not monitoring your symptoms does almost always make you irresponsible #like its very weird seeing people in my life react wildly differently to the discovery or diagnosis #like i just have 0 energy for people who get a diagnosis and just use it to excuse their treatment of others #and this comes from someone who was The borderline menace at age 16 #i think realising i probably have npd has made me a lot more aware of my own ego among other things #and ive had enough therapy for bpd to feel comfortable navigating most of the npd stuff rn without an official dx yet #bc id say ive already been trying to curb certain behaviour for years now without realising it could be linked to smth in particular #its just a new explanation. but i dont think its an excuse #i hope that ex friend is dealing with his shit better now. i still think hes a dick but he was a struggling teenager so all i can do is like #hope hes grown up and doing better mentally and has better friends. bc god knows our friend group was pretty unhealthy #txt

Day 106 of sertraline: I've noted in the past not being able to get proper drunk anymore, however this past weekend I noted that I can get a proper hangover after one too many at the resident social for my building. This is some ole bullshit.

#ive been monitoring it closely for other symptoms n so far im ok do not fret o7 #but #shes gotten very mad at me before just asking if i did because i always wear long sleeves (which is just because im ugly i never had then)#on my arms anyway #shes not the type of person who accepts that kinda stuff w . any kind of caring and i am Afraid. i am so very afraid #im completely isolated here i have to keep the relationship as calm as i can #shes my only source of anything i could lose everything #and her relationship w my sister has only gotten worse since she started being open w her mental struggles they fight verbally & physically #literally everyday #she shit talks her constantly #n belittles her 2 the point of breakdowns #literally only because of it #it just. would not be good #i have to try everything else first #asks

My sister got bit by a spider and the first thing she did was come tell me. I'm the spider guy

#txt #I gave her an icepack and told her to monitor symptoms #tell me if she starts to feel any stomach cramping or nausea or gets feverish #but aside from “watchful waiting” she's probably fine. The fact that dhe wasn't going into anaphylactic shock as she was telling me means #that she's not allergic.#She couldn't find the spider so she can't go to a hospital unless symptoms develop. a hospital can only react if they KNOW the spider she #was bitten by. and she doesn't so #my guess is grass spider #So probably nothing.#It isn't a large bite. She just said the area of the bite HURTS and itches but she isn't having any other symptoms #Our mother helped her clean the bite with soap & water & antibiotic

Yay, I don't have a risk for quadriplegia anymore!

#I waited for a surgery for my slipped disk in a hospital since Thursday #two days fasting in vain but yesterday I finally got to the surgery #it went well: my palms are still a bit stiff but other numbness is gone #and yes there were mild symptoms of quadriplegia and the risk of getting paralyzed without the surgery #staff was very nice so I don't have much to complain (only about the cuts governments have lately made to healthcare)#I can go home today and I have a plan for futher monitoring and rehabiliation #quite a dramatic start for this year but at least it was noticed and treated in time #Emptiness rambles

#i feel like now that i'm an adult i can manage my symptoms with lifestyle changes and monitoring mood patterns and continuing therapy #i REALLY don't want to be on heavy medications and deal with these sides effects for the rest of my life #but i don't think my parents or my doctor would understand because bipolar people are known to stop taking medications abruptly #but this isnt that i genuinely think i can do this #i'm on lithium and lybalvi/zyprexa and theyre really not good for my body #i think diet changes & lifestyle changes & getting myself onto a routine focused on self care and recovery is the best way for me

session with the psychiatrist today and he finalised getting me a s*roquel prescription… upon a google i discovered that one of the most common side effects is supposedly weight gain so now i am actually considering the preferred alternative option of recovery which is k*lling m*self

#he is 1. russian 2. the sessions are being paid for and monitored by my father #i tried calmly and reasonably explaining to him that i do not suffer from bipolar disorder and that #the prevalent part of the symptoms which cause me direct discomfort or suffering in my day to day #life most closely correspond to adult ‘female’ adhd and autism; and that the #only psychiatric pharmaceuticals which would cause a legitimate positive impact on my life would be those prescribed to ADHD patients;#which means that what he really should be doing is writing me a reference form to speed up the diagnosis process. his response?#‘you have labelled your issues with these developmental disorders to absolve yourself of a responsibility to heal from them; since; unlike #mental illnesses; they are not temporary and cannot be cured; only alleviated’#ok mental illness isn’t temporary either; total recovery is nigh impossible. plus; i don’t want meds for a cure. i want meds to be able to #manage and live like a functioning adult human being. as in; be able to concentrate on what i am invested in; to ameliorate skills and put #in an ounce of effort instead of floating mindlessly without concrete goals or desires #okay maybe i need depression meds. MAYBE. but i have a sneaking suspicion that the moment i start taking adhd medication and become #far more productive and accomplished by my own standards; my depressive state will begin to dissipate without psychiatric intervention #jamie.txt #tw ed implied #antipsych

yay yay yay im homeeeee im so glad to be back in my apartment. staying with my family is tough and the house is bad too and then on top of it my brother and dad caught covid. so im very glad to be home and get to chill alone until i go to my partners house on new years eve for a party 🥳🎉

#as long as i dont develop symptoms of course. and i just let them know about it in case they would prefer i not come #cause of the risk of transmission.#my family was going to drive me back on the 31st but i was really not comfortable with the whole thing #staying with sick people then immediately going to a party is just not okay. this way i can isolate for 2 days to watch for symptoms #in other news i need to call the internet provider for my apt to get them to fix my ethernet port #i brought my desktop back w me #im so excited about it!!!! also idk if i mentioned it but i got a drawing tablet for xmas too :0 !!!!#its like another monitor thats a touchscreen and its wonderful. infinitely better than my old screenless drawing pad #glub glub
