#btw therapy CAN help

[agoraphobe]

Are you really agoraphobic & if so, how did you know you had a problem? I am debating whether I have a problem or not rn. I get genuinely upset when thinking abt going outside in the daytime.

yeah ive been dealing with it for years and unfortunately it gets worse over time especially if you dont get help for it. like a few years ago i used to at least be able to go to the grocery store once in a while and shop for myself. now i cant even sit in my backyard without feeling overwhelmed and panicky. it leads to a very limited, poor quality of life and can make it difficult to be independent which just adds to the shame. its really really important to get into therapy asap and to figure out what the underlying issue is. e.g. im diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder and body dysmorphic disorder which are unfortunately comorbid/commonly associated with each other and agoraphobia can be a prevalent symptom of both. for me, body dysmorphic disorder causes it the most. i explain it a bit more in this old post. im sorry you are dealing with this. its a very shitty, lonely way to live. i hope youre able to reach out to someone.

maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

Local girl realizes she has PTSD, more at 8

Time refers to himself as a doctor in the comic (hahahah time heals all wounds hahaha) so I thought it would be fitting that Hero visit him when she starts realizing that frequent panic attacks (I.e. getting swarmed by Fears and Griefs every time she steps outside) aren’t exactly convenient

Uh oh. Essay in readmore time

What's so frustrating is that for almost all of my life I didn't know I had adhd, and only found it out 5ish years ago

During ALL of my studies i was intensely freaked out and even when i got a grip on some of my mental health shit at uni, importantly I was still unaware of the adhd. And only had some professional tell me about their suspicion about it AFTER I could have received any support in my schooling.

And I have been working damn hard over the last half a decade to learn about myself and the way I work, and be kind to myself and open minded, and learnt from many many different people with adhd how they function - especially through advice on here bc much of Google is shit, and learnt what does and doesn't work for my personally.

I slowly unravelled and found myself. To a point where I'm actually functional and content in myself.

So now i find myself in the most intense, stressful period of my life since then. Grieving and finally understanding what people meant when they spoke about grieving a very close loved one. How nothing feels real even.

And I've found myself so extremely wired from having to do a very vast array of tasks all crammed into a short space of time with a close deadline - exactly the same conditions as during my studies.......... where nothing ever helped.

Yet. In the last thirty minutes I've unwound because I instinctively KNEW what to do. I found myself following all the things i taught myself about my adhd, and now I'm like 70% more chill???? Huh?????? Noticed suddenly that I've been using my ADHD self knowledge for the past few weeks and coped remarkably well because of it.

It's shocking because imagine what i could have done if I had ANY help with my adhd EVER in my life from the adults who were supposed to notice in my entire childhood. Like HUHHHHHH, I am shocked. Imagine how I'm here as an adult using 5 years of learning adhd related advice and stuff I learnt through self awareness .... and feeling better.

SHOCKING!!!!

PS - long ass tags that immediately ramble away from my initial post and go into something positive and that made me feel fluffy inside. You've been warned

[unflatteringpicsofdavidtennant]

Please someone help me. I don’t know what to do. I’m disabled and have no income but I need to get out of my living situation. My former plan was to live with my sister when she gets her own place but due to recent events I just don’t feel that’s a good idea anymore. I have no idea how to navigate this situation or what I can do to get myself to a safe environment where I can heal. I feel strongly that I’m stuck in chronic freeze mode and have constant chest tightness, heavy feeling limbs anxiety and low energy and it’s a constant struggle just to feel normal enough to move around my house and care for myself. On top of that I’m autistic and have POTS. There is such a limited number of good days for me to do things. I definitely cant work a nine to five the way things are now. I might be able to get disability but my first attempt was a bust. Please, I need some advice on how to change my situation. I feel like I’m drowning. If this blog has ever made you laugh or smile… or ever helped your mood on a hard day… it needs you in return right now.

I don't mean to derail op's post but I understand that many people think that rape is an unforgivable crime and probably punished by the death penalty. That doesn't mean that the entire US justice system should work based on how some people think. This also reminds me when I found out that a coworker of mine who was my friend had been raping his sibling. When I told my therapist about it, she said 'I hope he gets the help that he needs". Not "I hope he goes to prison" or "I hope he dies" or any other vengeful thing, but hoping that he could get the help he needed to not do that again and change as a person. But if (and likely when) he goes to prison, he won't be getting the help he needs. No one who goes to prison for rape gets the help that they need. The prison system either creates a)people who will sit forever in our system taking up our tax dollars without ever actually changing or doing anything or b) people who get out of prison and do it again. While I would be horrified and disgusted if I saw this person again, something else that fucked him up happened to him, and caused him to take it out on other people. How would putting him in prison help that? What happens when he gets out of prison and sees his sibling again? While I don't have the answers I know that making him sit in prison is not going to help him actually change in any way.

Extremely tired of ppl tryna dunk on prison abolition by being like "well what are we gonna do with all the rapists then huh"

really funny seeing folks on the wow forums getting weird about the 'arachnophobia' filter

I have bad arachnophobia. I don't get squicked by spiders much in video games, more IRL ones in movies/tv shows, especially if they are real. I do not need a filter for either. I already see freaky as fuck spiders IRL and even at my job, of all places.

But this affects no one negatively. Move on?

Besides, it's also a fun toggle to turn on when you wanna see a giant spider boss turned into a crab. This playerbase needs to lighten the fuck up for like, 5 minutes or something. Always gotta complain about something. ESPECIALLY about things that don't affect them.

Jeez.
