It’s alright man.
I can see you clearly mean well.
I’m just very frustrated about that. Slightly triggering.
Take care of yourself as it seems that no one else will.
Thanks. I still have at least 1.5 years of therapy left and he’s a really good British guy, and people don’t get be homeless in Finland too easily, so that’s a bonus. The people and systems just suck and the rightwing government is making them shittier as fast as they can.
Maybe in what they are saying is a kernel of a truth
So symptoms can appear before a supposed cause has happened?
I never had any problems with mood as a kid. Now that I can’t work, I do.
Hmm.
Almost as if there was a correlation. Which leads me to journals and basically logs of my shit I have. Which quite clearly show the correlation. Also sleep diaries (band recorder from wrist) from the better part of a year, and still. They said I don’t need sleep studies (which me and my psychiatrist were pushing for) as “just give him more antipsychotics”.
Maybe in what they are saying is a kernel of a truth
There literally isn’t and I’ve personally studied this personal issue for my entire fucking life, and know what helps what doesn’t and what is psychosomatic and what isn’t. As I’ve gone through all variations, such as when I fast, pretty much all of the problems go away, only to be replaced by the alight ones the fasting causes, but they’re nothing in comparison. Then I can stress myself out in any ways and still have none of those psychosomatic symptoms.
Maybe people should accept doctors are people and people can make mistakes. But no. So they can’t accept anything has been wrong and I could have a point. And they can’t even defend their bullshit, but when I made a complaint to the ombudsman, quoting ICD-10 and the current local doctoral guidelines, still nothing, “Nah nothing wrong done, you’re just a junkie.”
I the problems since I was a kid. I started smoking weed the first time around 17-18.
Most of my current psychosomatic issues come from the rage I get from having to deal with people like you
I guess something similar could be used for drug user that somehow is intepreted as addict.
This would rely on the doctors first having empathy second being able to use it third be willing to use it.
I got a bit of progress when I switched my healthcare services to a hc station I knew to have young doctors. As my “drug use” is me using less alcohol than the average person, smoking high-CBD low THC weed and in my early twenties experimented with a few party drugs. This has been recorder as me having had “a serious multisubstance abuse problems”
for weed if it’s possible (wikipedia says that it’s legal for medical use.)
Ruahahaha yeah technically it is legal. There’s like a dozen people in the country with a prescription. One is a friend though. He went thorough years of pushing it through with private doctors he practically knew and he has severe nerve pain. Even then you have to eat opiates before ever being allowed to even have a doctor propose that you might benefit from legal cannabis.
Definitely would never be given to me no matter what I had, as they’ve deemed me a junkie because I admitted medical use of cannabis. Despite me having gone to weekly randomised drug tests for months on end pissing clean, showing I’m not an addict of any sort.
I am uninformed but I heard from psychiatrist that weed has some negative effects on mental illness.
High THC low CBD strains definitely can have negative effects. But usually they people who use those strains take the slight jitters their superpotent weed gives them rather than having unimaginable nervepain throbbing constantly. I’m definitely not in the “no side effects in cannabis” camp, but I had politely tried all of their things and to try and figure this shit out, I thought giving doctors more info would help. That it would help them deduce what’s wrong, because cannabis helped my horrible digestive issues, in turn helping me sleep and not be so anxious. (If your stomach constantly hurts as if you were stressing something, you begin to stress about something, even when there’s nothing to stress about. Somatopsychic instead of psychosomatic.)
But no. Basically ruined my life. Fucking wish I could go back to my 18-year old self and slap me around “honesty is overvalued and will only get you in trouble. You want to just seem like you’re honest, while lying your ass off.”
“Ride on painkillers”
Lol what? Eat ibuprofen or opiates… for digestive issues?
Yeah, you do know what you’re talking about when you say “I am totally clueless”. No offense, but spot on.
I have been without weed for months several times. Why do people always assume I haven’t?
Yeah therapy helps, but there’s clearly an underlying physical issue that I’ve been trying to figure out for more than 20 years.
But since in my twenties I mentioned weed helping with the symptoms, I’ve since not been listened to at all, treated as a full on drug addict and every single symptom I have had have been thought to be psychosomatic.
I’ve evidence to the contrary. Supported by surgery scars, doctor’s statements (from when the doctors actually listened to me when I was younger) and I even quote peer reviewed research from credible medical journals.
But no. Just treat me like a psychotic junkie. And if I challenge them in any of that, it just confirms their “suspicions”.
I’d just need a couple of grand to waste on private doctors, but I don’t have a couple of grand extra.
So if what I had was purely psychogenic, yes, you’d be totally right. But if what I have is depression because of my underlying chronic illness going undiagnosed because of inept and unwilling healthcare, then therapy might alleviate the symptoms, but it’s not gonna make it go away completely.
My mental health isn’t 100%, but my biggest problem at the moment is Finnish bureaucracy, to which shit healthcare is very much intertwined with.
Edit oh and it didn’t take me years to go to therapy because I was unwilling, it’s because the healthcare said I didn’t need any.
I’m not a runner but this type just popped into my mind, with this sort of half cover, so you can have an mitten on your hand when running but take it off to use a phone blow a nose or whatever, without taking the gloves off.
Mittens good because they’re pretty airy and don’t get as clammy as full finger gloves.
I’m sure this model is also found in more sporting materials
“half cover gloves” or smth for search terms idk
There is A LOT of good willing people that want to help you. There are a lot of resources that you can use but you aren’t aware of.
People are so very confidently telling everyone this.
Where I live, you really would think that’s the case. But for years, nothing. Even my own family is distant af, as if they didn’t understand the concept of depression. See it makes them uncomfortable that I’m not my usual happy self, so obviously that’s very rude of me.
I was also tossed out of an ER when I literally told an on-call psychiatrist I was afraid of hurting myself or others. And I meant it. It was after a very traumatic event I was genuinely so broken with nowhere to go and no-one to turn to. He got a guard to escort me out. Then I called my local free crisis hotline. They told me I’m not having a crisis and hung up.
Last time I asked an opinion about the shit healthcare I’m getting from my brother, he waived it off and now hasn’t contacted me for three weeks.
It took a lot of fighting with the healthcare here, but I finally did manage to get a therapist, and I specifically looked for someone who’s not from the same country and didn’t grow up in this emotionally stunted culture. So that’s one positive thing. But one hour a week isn’t much, and it’s only for a few years I get it.
So while I appreciate the sentiment and probably for most people these resources actually work to at least some extent, they do not work for everyone. So assuming something that might be incorrect and very triggering is something I’d advice to try and avoid if at all possible.
You disgust me.
While I would like to think of myself as something rare and shiny, I’d like to admit that I don’t actually identify as “truly” ambidextrous.
It’s perhaps more accurately “mixed-handedness”, and while I have quite a few of the benefits of what an truly ambidextrous person would, I also have some negatives that a person with one clear dominant side wouldn’t. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives for me, but I don’t think everyone would necessarily agree. And ofc it depends on your degree of mixedness, basically.
It’s much more common, being reported in this study at a rate of 13.49% while left-handedness was 7.14%.
For instance I used to do frisbee golf (disc golf?) quite a lot more, and long throws obviously with my right, although I could do them a bit with my left. But then my left wrist (what I mostly write with) is stronger so when I put the disc, left was often more reliable. So then if it was between a put and a medium range throw, I’d have problems choosing which hand to throw with.
Then again writing on a blackboard, sorry, whiteboard is what they are nowadays, I start with my left but finish with my right.
And when I cook for instance, which hand holds the product and which cuts is mostly a matter of how I’m facing or what hand the knife happens to be closer to. I can also shoot from both sides, although my right-eye does seem more dominant.
Coincidentally my preferred gender is sort of slightly fluid as well and/or mixed but my presentation is 99% of the time mostly masculine. I don’t live in the most progressive society in terms of attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people.
I’d assume there’d be at least someone there who’s job it is to “research” things to see if they’re to be banned or not.
Like the person who would’ve had to read the Harry Potters.
Idk.
Any of the dozens of times the US has engaged a military in the last 50 years?
I stopped watching TV some 15 years ago or smth.
Laughs in ambidextrous.
What’s “handedness”? Some propaganda by people who are disabled on one side of their body?
Are you aware Elon bought the title of “founder of Tesla”?
He’s not invented jack shit. Dude’s a moron.
That’s the point. They’re ridiculing the hypocrisy, not the sexism.
Wouldn’t know, don’t remember that ever happening.
Every group has its idiots, but I will admit it felt like a higher class of idiot.
Oh that’s unlocked some memories. Wow what a flashback.
Not saying not to do what you say but Jewish population in America is only 2% this is not enough to make a change
Israel has a population of ~9.75 million.
The US has a population of ~335 million people.
As of 2020, the American Jewish population is estimated at 7.5 million people, accounting for 2.4% of the total US population.
If All American Jews managed to convince just 1.3 Israeli’s, that’d be the entire population influenced.
But perhaps you’re saying 2% isn’t enough to affect change internally within the US? Probably not true either, 2% is 1/50 people. And as we all know from tinfoil wearing conspiracy nuts, Jews have disproportionate representation in politics. (I do not know or care whether that statement has any veracity; I’m saying it sarcastically.)
On something, yeah. On everything? No.
