I don’t think MS was intentionally trying to be dismissal but rather just trying to provide a response because no one else was.

Anyway, it’s important to get help before we completely destroy ourselves. I confess that this is easier said than done since I procrastinated seeking help for a long time. But I’ve finally started taking a step forward by trying out my current counselor. Idk how it’s going to go, but I feel a bit more hopeful now knowing I might get better some day. Hope you one day seek help too, OP. And know that you’re not alone!

Went to therapy for 10 years my friend. I probably was fine after the first few, but having someone completely independent from every part of my life to talk about things with was extremely helpful. You are definitely not alone.

I appreciate your response, MS. I think it is important that people feel free to speak openly, regardless if I agree or disagree. However, I interpret that response as a closet dismissal, and not at all helpful. The 4 upvotes indicate that others share the sentiment, and your implicit dismissal, irrespective of your intentions, makes me think you're shallow and incapable of a nuanced, articulate response. Thanks, but no thanks...

That is very constructive and positive, thank you for your response and honesty. I know it isn't an easy topic to breach, but I'm trying, and I appreciate your responses!

OP have you had ADD and or depression? I've had friends who had one or the other and ended up "self-medicating" via cocaine (like badly) for a while until they got proper help and proper medication.

In my view, nothing is worth it if you yourself aren’t feeling or doing well from a health/mental health perspective. I hope all goes towards a positive direction for you sir/ma’am

Husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. His semen analysis came back all normal with the exception of morphology at 1% (Kruger Strict criteria).

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!
