Btw for anyone who needs to hear it: thinking that people are reading your mind/your thoughts are being heard by everyone is not normal. It's a symptom of psychosis and could be linked to a psychiatric disorder. This, too, goes with hallucinations.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but to teens who don't know what symptoms look like, they may jog it off for a number of reasons. I did, too, when I was in highschool! As a freshman I was having delusions/hallucinations and I didn't tell anyone because I thought they were cringe and weird. I chalked up my hallucinations to me being "tired". People who have psychosis often don't realize that what they're experiencing IS psychosis. This goes the same with other classmates/friends/loved ones. If someone comes to you with concerning behavior (even if they are joking about it) you should take note of it.
In highschool I remember a kid talking about how he could go into the matrix and he had a whole other world to protect/do missions in. He would also go still for long periods of time randomly. I thought he was weird and didn't think much of it, but those are symptoms of schizophrenia (delusions/catatonia).
I would appreciate it if this got a reblog so it could potentially help those recognize these symptoms in either themselves or others!
I wish I could have seen a post like this when I was younger. Then I could have avoided a lot of hardships and would have gotten treatment a lot sooner
#mental health awareness#i know if i saw a post like this on tumblr when i was a teenager it would have helped me out so bad#there are probably a lot of teenagers (and even adults) out there that dont realize what theyre experiencing#then they can get one step closer to a diagnosis and get treatment#it took 7 years for me to even suspect that i had bipolar disorder#i wish i had realized sooner than later that i was experiencing symptoms so i could have avoided a lot of bad experiences#due to episodes

ok, since this is kind of affecting my ability/energy to be around and concentrate on writing in a pretty massive way, i'm just gonna be out with it lol:
i'm pregnant!
it's still super early on so I have my fingers crossed that everything goes well, but symptoms are hitting me HARD at the moment. i'm spending most of my time either eating every 3 hours (I'M SO HUNGRY BUT THEN I GET FULL SO FAST WTF), feeling violently sick, feeling extremely exhausted, and then sleeping for far too long, or not sleeping at all due to discomfort and still being exhausted.
replies might be a little slower but i don't intend on stopping writing altogether. ❤️ i prommy.
but eggy, aren't you infertile!?!
i thought the same!!!! we've been trying for over TEN FUCKIN YEARS but it looks like my surgery back in April did some magic, even if it didn't resolve all my pain. i'm still in disbelief myself tbh.
what's happening with your endo treatment!?
i'm on a waiting list for specialist treatment but it's gonna take over 52 weeks for just an appointment to come through, so I can literally have a whole ass child in that time and it will not really be affected.
lol. lmao even.
so yeah. baby egg incoming. i'm a bit mindfucked and completely stunned by this sudden development but I'm also really fucking happy.
#( outofcharacter. )#a handful of people already know but idk how long these symptoms are gonna go on for and i'm just exhausted atm lmao#some health updates under the cut for those who were aware of my earlier treatments going on

The argument I keep seeing for things like KOSA and social media ID collecting is that “children and teens who spend more than three hours on social media a day” are more likely to suffer from mental health issues.
I have to wonder if anyone has considered the fact that they are suffering from mental health issues and that’s why they spend more than three hours a day on social media…because it’s sometimes a hell of a lot more manageable than real life.
#social media#mental health#stop kosa#don't mistake my disassociation for a symptom when i use it as a treatment#love: your mentally ill adult friend who does just that

I need to stop watching medical dramas. It hurts to see doctors trying everything they can to figure out someone's symptoms when that really doesn't happen in the real world.
#like. shoutout to my primary who has actually done research into treatments for me#but hes a PA with limited time and resources (we are in a fairly rural area and my clinic serves a ton of people)#so like. referals go nowhere and my symptoms are still mostly unexplained#especially when like. doctors dont expect to fix you?#idk when i saw my neurologist for the first time i tried to give him an overview of all my symptoms and he said#verbatim#'well you cant expect me to fix all that'#and i was. idk. shocked#i wasnt even trying to get him to 'fix' me i was just trying to give some context and history#yknow. the thing necessary to diagnose people#but instead he misdiagnosed me and put me on meds that didnt work and suggested experimental brain surgery for a disorder i dont have#same thing happened with my pulmonologist. i explained my symptoms (because HE ASKED ME TO) and then refused to take them into account#its not every doctor. but its every specialist ive seen. every single one#and its frustrating#like. i just dont have answers or adequate treatment or anything#and my health keeps getting worse#idk man#disability sucks

The more I think about it the more I really feel like the recently coined term mesosex might fit me and it's been shared by several intersex education/advocacy blogs I follow now so I know there's support for the term but I'm still like. Scared I would be Intruding™ on intersex issues if I started using it. Like I mean. I'm an afab & (afaik) perisex person with a reproductive disorder that's likely caused by a (non-intersex) hormone imbalance which I'm now essentially having to take feminizing HRT to fix, and as a result I'm now growing tits and undergoing female-pattern fat redistribution at the age of 25 after years of having little to no secondary sex characteristics. I've always identified with intersex issues but now that I'm essentially having to undergo HRT to make my body match my asab that connection to intersex issues feels even stronger. And like that's what the term is for. But my anxiety is still like "but what if you're intruding tho" lol 🙃
#rambling#for the curious the specific disorder is endometriosis and recent research has shown that endo is most likely linked to#estrogen dominance which is where either your body makes too much estrogen OR not enough other hormones (progesterone & testosterone)#and given that the only thing that has helped me at all has been going on full progestin-only treatments#and the fact that everything ive researched about estrogen dominance and low progesterone matches up with my symptoms#it definitely seems like low/no progesterone is the issue for me#(although the docs didnt test my levels beforehand and now i cant get them tested unless i want to go off treatments 🥲)#and like. this progestin treatment has changed my fucking life. legitimately#like it didnt just stop my (pretty severe) endo it also fixed like. all of my physical health issues. stuff i didnt even know was related#dont wanna get off topic talking about my other health issues but. going on progestin has easily been the best health thing to happen to me#but it also feels so fucking weird to be going through the same type of changes that like transfems go through on hrt essentially#as an afab perisex person. its not a bad weird but like its just a strange phenomenon and it would be nice to put words to it i guess?#like im a person who has lived the last 10+ years disabled by a reproductive disorder that prevented my body from developing 'normally'#and now im going through feminizing hrt at the age of 25 to fix my reproductive disorder#thats not exactly like. the normal perisex afab experience lol. but at the same time my specific reproductive disorder and hormone imbalance#dont classify me as intersex (no hyperandrogenism just some mix of too much estrogen/not enough progesterone or testosterone#typical anatomy (afaik) aside from the uterine abnormalities resulting from endometriosis)#and its just. such a weird position to be in. i share a lot of common ground with intersex issues but im not intersex myself#and the whole purpose of mesosex was to create a word for people who arent quite either. 'people who identify with but not as intersex'#and i think that describes me. but also like.... do i count?? 😭#tmi#request to tag

I love having discovered that Spam actually tastes good if you fry it in teriyaki. Spam musubi is a brilliant way to shotgun enough sodium to kill three six-foot men into you and keep you from fainting
#pots#OH BY THE WAY I'M OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH POTS NOW#I'm p sure the definition of vasovagal syncope has changed since i was diagnosed twenty years ago and pots is the more accurate term now#back then V.V.S was used to mean fainting disease but now it's used to mean the act of fainting itself not the reasons behind it#only the name has changed my symptoms and triggers and treatment are all the same#and that treatment is copious salt and sugar into me as fast and efficiently as possible#vasovagal syncope or pots or whatever you call it kinda rocks when you're not concussing yourself#i can say with no insincerity that i need junkfood for my health#Salt blessed Salt#sugar my beloved

okay so everything that talks about withdrawal symptoms from opioids is like "you'll get cravings for the drug" and I've been sat here like "okay well I haven't had that" (as far as I can tell? I don't know what cravings are meant to feel like in this instance? I might be misunderstanding what that means) but what has been happening is that every time I take way less pain medication for a day or two, I get symptoms that feel like food poisoning and it ends up being an overall bad time.
for the last few days we've been on a way lower dosage because we haven't needed as much pain relief, and I've spent the whole time being like "oh my god why am I getting so many hot flashes and waking up in a cold sweat and not being able to sleep more than a few hours at a time? ugh my eyes are stinging so much and my vision keeps going all blurry and weird. why do I keep feeling like the world's ending over tiny things? holy shit my digestive system is not doing well. why do I have all these weird muscle cramps and aches? god my head hurts so fucking much and nothing's helping" and I've been blaming this stuff on the fact that we overexerted so much on Monday but like... yeah there are some dots I probably should have connected sooner here
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#vent post#drug use mention#addiction mention#<- kind of? maybe? I don't really know???#it's not that I didn't expect withdrawal symptoms. it's that everything puts so much emphasis on the cravings#and all the other symptoms are stuff that can easily be dismissed as our other health problems flaring up#so I've just kind of been going ''well I don't think I'm craving codeine so I'm probably fine? ugh god I feel like shit though''#I don't know if cravings are like specifically being like ''wow I really need to take more of this substance''#or if it can also just be the vague feeling of needing something and not necessarily knowing what#but also I'm realising that if we'd been given proper treatment sooner we wouldn't have had to take so much fucking pain medication#but for some ungodly reason nobody seemed to consider that the patient saying their pain levels were unmanageable#probably needed some kind of urgent treatment and not just to be given the same generic advice that's everywhere online

It's kinda weird to think that stuff you always thought was normal human stuff can straight up just be a sign of a sometimes debilitating medical condition. Especially when you have no way of knowing, because you've always done it and so have generations before you and that's where you learn your definition of normal.
#I have turned down further testing for now but...#It's pretty obvious based off of my symptoms and the tests we've done what kind of thing it is#And there is no treatment aside from for symptoms. Which I'm already on those#So like. Idk I guess I just gotta hope it doesn't get worse? Which like#I'm young and it didn't used to be this bad so it probably will#But also my dad has had it for 60 yrs and he's fine so maybe I'll be too. Maybe it hasn't changed#health#chronic disability#Ig that's the closest thing. It's a disability for a lot of people

I cannot relate when people talk about being unable to distinguish comorbid symptoms, at least not to the same degree. I have mine fairly parsed, including where they overlap and exacerbate each other, in part because of how aggressively I've pursued treatment while also staggering it in such a way that allowed me and my psychs to identify the separate disorders.
#this isnt anti self diagnosis either#i correctly self diagnosed before getting actually diagnosed#idk i approached my mental health treatment like a virgo enneagram one for lack of a more succinct way of saying#“aggressively and with a hyperfocus on self improvement”#sometimes i assume what im doing is average and then my mental health team reminds me that no i am Atypical#i will never forget telling my therapist i should stop saying im built different#and her replying with “normally i would agree but... well....”#also im CONSTANTLY learning new things about myself and my conditions#this isnt to imply i have everything figured out#if im ever not learning anything new about myself then im stagnating#nor is it like implying there's a right or wrong way to go about this sort of thing#it's just an observation and an admission that i often cant relate to a lot of posts and convos even about my specific diagnoses#the amount of times people with my same illnesses have attempted to neurotypical karen me or who have implied i dont really have them#is Many#like more than youd think and in both irl and online spaces#generally over innocuous things but all because they dont think im expressing my illnesses right#and the fact of the matter is ive had medical professionals tell me that while my symptoms are textbook - how i express them isnt always#it's a neutral observation but one that sometimes leaves me like a little out of my depth in more general convos about mental illnesses

w multiple health professionals telling me dental issues can cause long term damage to your heart etc it seems so fucked up that in a country with 'universal' healthcare im still stuck paying thousands of dollars getting this shit taken care of. even w some amount of private dental insurance
#like u look at life expectancy and health outcomes for ppl w serious mental illness and obv theres some complexity to that#but a lot of it is medical neglect alksds u think someone who likely Cannot work a steady well paying job#is going to be able to afford proper dental care. adn then go hey why are these economic burdens having so many heart issues :|#'The development of physical illness is made worse by a lack of physical health monitoring and treatment. If you’re living with#bipolar disorder frequent health assessments could help you manage your physical health and prevent illness.'#<- laymans health article#like have u considered making it easier to do that and also not dismissing every physical symptom as Crazy Problems

Hey y’all! Weird question time! First, an explanation: - I am allergic to vinegar - vinegar is acetic acid + water - apparently, the human body naturally produces small amounts of acetic acid And now, the question: Could I be slightly allergic to myself????? To the acetic acid??
#the person behind the yarn#tj asks weird questions#medical mention#allergy mention#I am going to be so mad if this is the answer to my health questions#but also if this is the answer to my health questions it's hilarious#I will be talking to my doctor about this next time I see her#but like...this theory is so ridiculous I had to share it?#but it does kind of make sense????#I do not know enough about human anatomy to know how plausible this is#but vinegar is a histamine liberator so it could be causing mast cell issues without it being a technical allergy#and if that's the case idk if self-produced acetic acid would have the same effect?#but I'm also not sure it functionally matters if it's not an IgE mediated allergy if the situation is eat the thing = allergy symptoms#if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck I'm going to go ahead and say I'm allergic to it#by which I mean it's easier to say I'm allergic to vinegar and alcohol than to explain to people that technically#it's maybe not an allergic reaction because the mechanism that activates it is different.#but the symptoms and treatment are identical.
