#atypical rambling

[atypicalstrong]

heeeeeeey these meds are great actually. like i'm simultaneously mad/frustrated with all my old doctors and myself for never suggesting or seeking out mood stabilizers before. like i didn't remember this, but according to my records my old psychiatrist recommended 2 years of ECT without ever having given me a mood stabilizer to try. like. that's wild. it makes me so mad. just bc my diagnosis back then was major depression and cyclothymia, mood stabilizers were never considered but electroshock WAS...

but also, and more importantly, i'm just so THRILLED to have them now. like. i thought my brain was just broken beyond repair. and in a way it is, but that doesn't mean i can't do daily maintenance. i haven't felt this good since 2019. at least.

anyways the point is, if you have bipolar disorder or cyclothymia, maybe try taking a mood stabilizer BEFORE agreeing to ECT. even if you're young. no one explained to me that mood stabilizers (specifically anti-psychotic class ime, not anti-convulsant class or lithium) could help where anti depressants failed. I didn't even know I had a cyclothymia diagnosis until 3 months after I started ECT.

just because you've tried lots of anti depressants or anti anxiety meds, doesn't mean there aren't meds out there that can help you. do your own research. make sure you know all your diagnoses. get second and third opinions. ECT should always be a last resort for suicidal depression and/or bipolar patients. (obligatory "i cannot speak to ECT when used to treat epilepsy that's a totally different ball game")

you don't have to keep living like this. there are other options. it can and WILL get better even though it's not easy.

the premise of the atypical family is so interesting and there’s so many good drama elements at play already… but the use of a fat suit in the year 2024? really????

[psalm40speakstome]

The Atypical Family. Episode Twelve.

Fire literally incapacitates her(understandably) ..she can’t get close to it on a stove….and she fought through it all to get to I Na.

Maintaining eye contact while she sets up the exact same scam with another dude is such a power move

cuteness — ramblings

i've researched a bit about cuteness before, and a meme about a cute character (Ralsei) being taken as evil by some people made me ponder about it, so have my ramblings

there's some effects cuteness can have on people, and it's interesting

the common response is people find it cute and want to protect, care for, and/or cuddle, pet, give it affection in general

but there's also the cuteness aggression response: wanting to pinch it, bite it, etc — a theory is that it's related to the wish to protect: people want to protect it, so they get some sense of aggressiveness; i add that then, how there's usually no danger to fight against and they also want to give it affection, the aggressiveness + affection equation results in things like biting, really tight hugs, and so on

however, there's another, less likely but still possible, response: fear

when feeling cuteness, some people get afraid... usually it's because of a fear of the cuteness being a deception; they fear being hurt or taken advantage of, just because of finding something cute

they can get aggressive towards it too... and usually aggressiveness + fear isn't a good equation to have

but, there's also the even less likely specific fear of hurting it that some people might have — when they really know the cuteness is completely safe, but think they themselves might be a threat for some reason even if they actually are not (name your characters challenge [/silly])

anyways, that's what i found as i lived and when i researched about it a long time ago

Got 10 hours of sleep and then had another 2 hour nap. I'm low on ADHD meds and need to make an apt to get more so I'm skipping them on weekends which is not helping the tiredness. Can't draw or read or think. Need to make some dinner and breakfast for the week. Just want to just sit and watch anime. 🥲😴

Why is it that everyone starts panicking and running every time there's a fire alarm ringing in kdramas? Like, are fire drills not a thing in dramaland?

[atypicalstrong]

as someone who takes antipsychotics i need yall to like. stop saying the voices won and delulu and all that shit. like. paranoia and hallucinations and delusions fucking suck man. even the ones that aren't upsetting fucking suck bc I have to question what is real and what is not. it's not fucking funny stop making jokes about psychosis!!!

need to find a hobby or something to block out the atypical family finale playing in my head lmao 😭👎 my brain hates me. the scene from when he saves Dahae and Ina and then goes to save Dahae 13 years back. He’s so tender and gentle with everyone, so resigned and the music that plays as Dahae falls from the window. it’s all playing in my head randomly. like I went to make myself a coffee and it played in my head.

exactly what I’m feeling rn. my brain gotta pick up a new thing to latch onto omg, the last time I kept going back to a finale in my head this often was the Mr. Queen one where everything that happened in the last 10 minutes ruined my life for a month.

gotta give the entire cast and crew their flowers they really have me on my knees.

not this being how I process a show… anyway I keep rambling so bear with me 🙏

Bok Nu Ri powers speculation

So we know he got some version of his Dad’s past time travel and his Mom’s ability to enhance that power…

His seems much faster and more streamlined to me though?

Like he’s five….and he literally sees a picture and then goes and gets him within seconds….

His Dad’s power took time…his doesn’t seem to take any time in the present..and possibly moments in the past as well considering he wasn’t covered in dust or particular traumatized looking?

He just went and got his Dad like a five year old would and I find that beautiful not only because the powers are clearly morphing and evolving but because that’s what a power like that would need to be for a five year old.

It was so simple and pure. Because for him it is.

[dramatothethirdpower]

Haha he’s like I’m never coming back to your past again! Anyway. Hi, me from five minutes from now, obviously that didn’t work out…

[blackout-galaxy]

“presents as a beta” “presents as an alpha” “presents as omega” love that the language implies that people not only don’t have tests to try and figure out pre-puberty but also purposefully avoid doing so to keep a mystery to it. are there like stories of people assuming presentation only to be proven completely wrong? is presentation determined by a singular hormone? is it like the testosterone-estrogen complex and people just don’t want to know? is there a niche and mostly-stigmatized scientific field dedicated to researching the social and biological functions and relationships between secondary genders? is it separate from the pharmacological field or is it the ‘dirty’ underbelly of it all?

more importantly specifically to me: is the relationship with sex and sexuality all cultural or is it also moderately biological? does this mean that most asexuals are betas or never even present?

i’m sitting in the corner doing this rn okay?

i need to know what the studies show

[butterflybitch247]
