Something’s not right

Don’t want to accept the pain

Don’t want to accept the pain

Why can’t I pretend the pain isn’t real, maybe if I tell myself I’m okay and I don’t struggle with mental health I’ll be okay. Maybe if I tell myself that the traumatic memories aren’t real, then I can finally feel whole and less gross. Maybe I’ll just wake up from this dream soon and I’ll find peace within my mind when I do wake up. Maybe I’m okay, maybe there isn’t anything wrong with me

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@Jynx I'm trying to release tension, but man, my scalp is tender and tense. Thing have been better than last week, but I think it's just going to take time. I think I developed a tolerance to PRN, so I resorted to a supplement (which the chemist said shouldn't interact) because I had no idea what else to do. My brain chemicals are so f***ed up

Don't forget to shake it all out too @creative_writer

Do you know how satisfying it is to do a big AASLKDJGBDFOIHGHJWOIUHGDOTIGJBEODFJNGB ahaha

Sucks about the prn, hope the supplement does the trick tho! Heh, who can blame your brain, it did not evolve to be able to handle modern life with the info and sensory overload and being attached to our nightmare rectangles 😅

Might need to do a tech detox my own self, see if I can't wrangle my dopamine receptors in a little. Not sure if it works that way 🤔

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@Jynx you have been screaming bad words in my head 😂. My parents would be horrified to hear it.

My PRN is an extra dose of the antipsychotics I take on a regular basis. I’ve been finding for some time that I’ve had to increase the dose to get the same effects.

Maybe I need to do a detox too, my bipolar and ADHD brain has gone on strike. I hope I feel more of the effects from the supplement. I like taking the holistic approach. I know some people are anti supplements, but there is emerging evidence that some are effective for mental health. Though one does need to make sure it’s medically appropriate. I think not having my ADHD medicated and medication tolerance has led me to find alternative avenues

@creative_writer whaaaaat me? I do no such thing..... AUJQASHFOSIJGOLKJ ahem no no I mean....

Huh, you spoken to your GP bout this? Sounds like maybe some review of stuff is needed if it's no longer as effective hey!!

It's super interesting, I do wonder what untapped potential there is. I heard of a type of narcolepsy med being used for ADHD treatment!!

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@Jynx no I was talking about me, not you 😂. You know the moment where you’re angry and frustrated, mind starts cursing.

My GP more than likely would say talk to pdoc. I have my appointment next month, but can get it moved earlier if needed. I need to remember to email my new referral.

I’m only discovering how natural substances have compounds that might help with mood, anxiety and even attention. I feel like there is a lot of overlap between mental health conditions. Even between certain mental health and physical conditions. It’s wild

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@Jynx once I hyperfixate I learn a lot. I find other things to do to procrastinate the others things that need to be done. Maybe you’ll find me on the weekend cramming my Lifeline module training that’s meant to be done by Sunday. It is estimated to take 4.5 hours, but I don’t have a good hold of time. At the moment I feel like I have too long since it’s due

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@Jynx don’t forget productive procrastinating. I have left so many things to the last moment, deadlines sort of motivate you.

I hope you slept okay last night 💖. My sleep hasn’t been perfect but better than last week. Totally get why they say alpha waves help with sleep

Re: Don’t want to accept the pain

@creative_writer aye, the panic motivation has no competitors for efficacy 😅

yeah slept okay, my period always makes me sooooo lethargic so like, I legit passed out at around 1.30am. Usually I'm up till at LEAST 3... 🙃
