My advice for people that ponder something like this, go to therapy first. Talk with them, because they have a lot of experience with people who do and donât have physical related issues causing mental disorders.
They would likely be able to help you understand if doctors are needed to intervene to help you.
she also just told me my hand pain would never be better which i know for a fact that if she gave me an adequate amount of care i could make at least some of a recovery. i still can barely use a mouse. however it also is more likely coincidental nerve pain so sheâs probably right. still holy shit

giving me opioids was clearly the correct solution here (this barely helps for my hands because it is the WRONG TYPE OF PAIN)

I stopped taking meds for my disorder because a seizure disorder popped up out of nowhere in my 20s. They feared that it was a side effect from long term use, and they wanted me to not take them until further testing.
They never could find the source of it though, and still neurologists have no answer for where my seizure issue came from
the main roadblock to therapy for me is trusting adults

There have been talks about whether or not I should return to taking my medication. It might help me with depression and bi episodes, but over the last 6 years Iâve worked to get a hold of my issues without meds. So who knows, although being off meds did make me a worse person for a while wowee
feel like im gonna have a seizure

ONE LAST THING TO GET: my heart checked (also in waiting list) and then i can finally stop fuckcking going to the doctors
Youâd imagine that a therapist would be the one who is trained to be the most understanding person on the planet. Being the opposite sounds like a paradox.

My advice is simple.
If you canât trust other people, then you will never find what you are searching for. You have a desire it seems to find some form of help, or understanding. So you have to make the conscious choice to be more trusting of people other than yourself. Although you should always have critique and be wary of people.

From my experience, therapists have been a lot more understanding than the average person.

ive made lotsa progress over the past 3 years of trusting peers
adults are hard though. probably because my background with all the major adult figures in my life was rough

significantly better than feedback that does absolutely nothing. when i was in therapy my therapist was like. completely detatched. like most of what they said was just really fancy ways of saying âsimply be betterâ and then giving me a worksheet
