Say Something Random: psychological Conditions Version

Yeah thats frustrating

I mean we moan and complain in England about waiting lists etc but at least we get tested for stuff for free if we're willing to wait

Most who are low income in the US, including myself, qualify for medical assistance and don’t have to pay for medical testing, appointments, or prescriptions.

We certainly could have more social programs in place for people who need them, but there are a lot of countries that are much more hostile to people with disabilities than the US.

My heads up my arse today. It's been a bit of a week for discoveries for me

Grandmother with Down syndrome and a brother and an uncle with schizophrenia

It makes me think whether I am actually on the schizophrenia spectrum (if there is one) as I was diagnosed and then undiagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder many many years ago

I just keep thinking I need to just get on with my life now and put all of this s**t behind me. I can't see how it's benefiting me in any way.

Maybe why I'm constantly irritated at work is the near continuous interruption.

On top of... Guessing games. It cannot be helped.
On top of... Short Term Memory Issues. And forgetting whatever work around involves this.
On top of... Disorganization. On top of time fricking management.

But time management -- involves too many interruptions in every step.

On top of... Losing patience altogether. I sure heck did not 'chose' this response.

I would never choose to feel and react overwhelm. If I have a choice on how to respond is that to pause -- but that doesn't happen. Because time management. Because getting disorganized. Because short term memory. Because urgency.

Because, because, because it loops into another existing reason altogether and that loops into another existing reason altogether.

Yeah I can't disagree with you there

I'm pretending to feel sorry for myself. This is what I do if I think I should be feeling something about a certain situation or event but I'm not actually feeling very much at all about it so then I think to myself how I should be feeling and then I just pretend to feel sorry for myself. I don't know who I'm trying to kid; myself or everyone else.

I can certainly relate to that. It’s weird when you feel like you should feel a certain way, but you feel numb or nothing. I feel like I just recently started feeling things that I should’ve felt years ago, not that there’s a “should” with feelings. It can be especially difficult when you’re hit with multiple things at once.

I don't think there is a right answer.

I don't actually like it if there is this idea of how one 'should' feel.
Not even guilt over something bad as a 'way' to recognize that something is wrong, yes.


Likely because even something ingrained as fear and pain seems 'weird' to me. I 'should or should not' be afraid and hurt about certain things, but I'm not.

I even feel happy at specifically disturbing things like getting nightmares; why is it "better" that I'm 'afraid' instead of interested? What for?
Is it the fact that others do not typically feel the same way as I do and acknowledge that's how most people would respond not enough?? Is it not enough that I know what's right from wrong??


Though irrelevant out of nowhere feelings; I dislike them more.

Likely because I grew seemingly chronically angry... And if I stop distracting myself, I'd end up going to wherever I was since I was 6. And my pessimism 'doesn't make sense' since I am lucky.
And whatever I can relate to people with CPTSD also makes even less sense since I am never a victim of whatever other than sheer ignorance, immaturity and helplessness of adults.


Yeah, yeah, I "should" be happy, grateful or whatever my life looks like since I have 'family and friends and a network and a privilege, and all that luck".
Fricking annoying.

I mean yeah so that's what makes me not believe in empathy because it must be a purely imagined thing.

A person cannot possibly know how another person feels. I get that they can imagine how they might feel in a similar situation but they can't know how you or TP or anyone else might feel

Yeah that settles it for me empathy is just a lot of bs
