  2. Got myself a lil tibetan singing bowl. Gettin literal with the good vibes. It is pretty fucking relaxing.
     
  3. I can help you with links of hidden cures for these mental illnesses. Name them and I'll got you with an independent source. Don't fuck with the pharmaceuticals though, if you had a bad experience with them.

    dont think theres a cure for what ive got.
     
  5. What you got? 
     
  6. schizophrenia. there is no known cure only medications to maintain it.
     
  7. thanks for the links, makes for interesting reading. but i think ill stick to my prescribed meds.

    Good idea. Never stop taking any medicine without telling your doctor first :)
     
    Also, alternative medicines and treatments should be treated with doubt.
     
    I don't think some people understand that an alternative treatment/medicine is given that name as the treatment has failed independent, controlled trials. Also, other alternative treatments have failed to submit themselves for independent, controlled trials. If an alternative treatment PASSES controlled trials.. then it just becomes treatment/medicine (minus the 'alternative').
     
  9. I will need to learn how to deal with restlessness in a way that doesn't involve reaching for a bottle
     
  10. Dysphoria is slowly but surely becoming more bearable. I'm more happy with the way I look (with clothes on) and I love my new name, although correcting people is tiresome. I've been putting off coming out to my roommates, I guess it's just a weird relationship cause we're not friends and I've never talked about anything personal with any of them, but I have to bite the bullet and just do it.
     
    I'm doing alright :)
     
  11. I'm wondering of I have some sorta of seasonal depression thing.

    I was feeling awesome up until mid September. Waking up on time and not tired and groggy the whole day.

    Now when I wake up I have no motivation to get out of bed. I get bad anxiety and very antisocial throughout my day avoiding contact. Seems to happen at the same time every year and lasts until end of May.

    My mom is the complete opposite. Seems like she now has more energy and always wants to talk (seems like a depressed me during the summer) and wakes up super early.

    So draining to keep conversation with her when I feel like death haha

    This same type of thing happens to me every year.
    But I also live in Minnesota (I am not sure where you are from). Our seasons are so drastically different, the temperature changes and the difference in hours of daylight.
    It sucks, man.

    I feel similarly. Every winter which is brutal, cold, dark, snowy, cold as tits my mood just plummets. Omega, you're Canadian right? Most Canadians have vitamin D deficiencies (especially if you don't drink milk) so this year I've been taking vitamin D supplements to try to boost my mood without SSRIs. I came off SSRIs a few months ago, but still have a perscription if I get bad again. My doctor recommended it to me so I thought I'd give it a shot this year.
     
  14. I was going to suggest vitamin D, too. It really does help a lot. Moving to Seattle from the Midwest was so hard for me the first winter/fall. Constant gloom. It's either foggy, raining or snowing. Mostly fog and rain. But taking vitamin D helped so much.

    I was recently on an antidepressants/anti anxiety medication but it left me feeling so much worse. Horrible, in fact. I found a web site that suggested neuro endure mini. It helps so much! The withdrawal from some prescribed medications is positively dreadful. But at least I'm not isolating wanting to kill myself anymore. *knock on wood. Fingers crossed*

  15. Just thinking, I should be more appreicative of GC and i'll tell you all why.
     
    A few years ago, I was VERY active on another forum where people with eating disorders would come and share ideas. In fact, I was even a moderator for one of the sub forums. Our entire forum was based around the idea of 'anorexia is a lifestyle, not a disease'. 
     
    - Anorexia ('Ana') and bulimia ('Mia') became personifications and almost a cult-like religion. There were letters from your eating disorder, creeds ect. There was even 'Ana bracelets' so you could identify your fellow pro-ana's IRL.
    - We would share tips on how to lose weight quicker, suppress hunger, hide your 'lifestyle' from loved ones
    - post pictures of very skinny people as 'thinspiration' 
    - have competitions with one another (ie. there was an entire subforum dedicated to weight loss comps)
    - we even had an entire subforum dedicated to 'food porn', people with eating disorders are OBSESSED with food
     
    I used to post pictures of myself in hospital with feeding tubes, IV drips ect weighing about 80lbs and all of the comments would be "omg girl, you look amazing.. stay strong", "beautiful ribcage x" ect ect
     
    We constantly had members go missing, our "where is this member" subforum was posted in every day from members searching for their friends and although sure in the back of your mind you'd know that there's a chance that they might of been hospitalized, you'd aways hope for the best.
     
    It wasn't until on of our most popular posters, Wysteria (Elisa was her name in real life, I had her on facebook) passed away from a heart complication that I decided that I couldn't take this 'lifestyle' (It's a disease) anymore.
     
    I had to block myself from all these websites. I had to forget all my 'tips' and 'safe foods'. In recovery I vowed never return to that dark place on the internet again. 
     
    After being checked out of hospital at a healthy weight, I was feeling happy but I was missing my online family. Sure, we might of had a terrible disease in common but it was also like any forum.. most of us had become friends and used to non ED- conversation. 
     
    So, I signed up to Grasscity. I'd stopped smoking weed when I had anorexia because I was AVOIDING the munchies. But I figured that GC would fill the void. And did it ever. I made loads of friends here and even speaking about the websites/forums that I used to visit.. it seems like a lifetime has passed.
     
    Thank you to everyone here  :smoking:
     
  16. that's a great story twee. i hope grasscity will fill the void inside of me.2 months ago i was diagnosed with schizphrenia and i've had a hell of a time with dealing with anxiety and mild depression. the feelings aren't direct toward anything in particular but they're always there and my meds do nothing for them, maybe i just need something else. i feel good when i see people reply to what i say or even just commenting on things, i feel like my voice is heard and i have some friends. but i want it to be more than that i want to be part of a family, people that i can trust.
     
  17.  
    Grasscity's a diverse place. I've connected with people from GC on a level that I would never have imagined. There's multiple people who can relate to any of my struggles, and I'm a...deviation from the norm in a few key ways that can lead to conflict.
     
    Baring your soul is a fast and easy way to connect on here, so I think you're going to have a good time.
     
    So your anxiety manifests as a persistent sensation of dread, like something's about to go terribly wrong, but you don't know what?
     
  18. It's amazing how much I've connected to people on here, both individuals and the community as a whole. It's likely you'll find at least some kind of family if you stick around for a while, post often, and don't be a dick. I hope you stick around :)

    This reality conflicting with my imagination has pulled me into something that is constantly changing, but is always the same.. I see stars but am reminded they are just bits of holes I get to peer through and glance at my inside.
    I fear reality is the abyss I'm falling into wishing I could manage an out. I dont want to look through holes anymore, but I'm not sure where I'm falling or what I'm looking into. I think I'm just slipping away. If that is what must be I have no conflict to solve, if it were as simple as slipping away, I'd be happy. I know it is not so simple, it is being torn away, strand of skin by strand, peel of muscle by peel, until finally your brain is all thats left, and is just one long noodle.
    No one mind me please. I would have just wrote this down and kept it to myself, but I felt I had to take a piece of mind and float it along the internet stream.
