Love this! Same here

So yall have therapists or just raw dogging lexapro
I’m doing IFS solo and go to therapy biweekly. It’s really helpful!

What non-medical stimulants serves for you?
Meditation and yoga. I swear by it I’m only a month into consistently doing it daily and it feels like a superpower it’s wild!

Just started 200 mg of qelbree. Hoping for a miracle but I’m nervous.
Similar situation for me. Was on vyvanse and adderall for years but i can’t take stimulants without abusing them it’s tragic lol. I’ve been on Qelbree for 2months now on 600mg. Had some constipation issues but it passed. It’s been so helpful just make sure you don’t run out bc the headaches are awful :(

Does anyone else feel a “high” on the days leading up to ovulation?

Wife refuses to share all credit card transactions
Yeah yikes. This isn’t a budget thing this is a stop being an asshole and learn what part of you is making you interact so aggressively with your wife thing. What do you think would happen if you didn’t micromanage & where did this start in you (hint: check into your childhood or past?)
What would it look like if you were more kind about this? I’ve been in her situation. When trust grows everything tends to come to life. You can’t force her to do anything and you’re making it worse at this point.

Anyone else a system without distinct switches or time loss? Just quiet shifts, co-consciousness, and a lot of blending?
Me too! I’m also just realizing I’m a system. I think ahhh

Are ADHD meltdowns a thing or am I also autistic?
I believe it i!

Are ADHD meltdowns a thing or am I also autistic?
I had that thought it was just adhd and was just diagnosed with autism as well! Sensory issues were so overlooked in my childhood experience and i believe that’s common for late diagnosed autistic women!
Try the tests online, it wouldn’t hurt!

is this a safe place to talk about how everything Trump does triggers me?
My father is a covert narcissist and the way he talks the lying and the gaslighting. I say he’s a narcissist over and over to make myself feel better. It’s hard to listen to him talk directly and it’s horrible. I’m sorry

What symptoms of CPTSD surprised you — or took you years to connect?
Yess! I used to tell myself. No worries if it’s that bad I’ll just retreat into my head. Waaay before i started actually working on myself

What symptoms of CPTSD surprised you — or took you years to connect?
That Internal Family Systems is like air and life to me and i in fact may be a dissociated system. News to me!

So very triggered [trigger warning SI]
Also i found an exile part in my chest and i found that soothing her like an actual baby with my hand over my heart patting and rocking is very soothing. Like im soothing me as a baby but externally. It works

So very triggered [trigger warning SI]
You are not hopeless you’re understandably upset and need some grounding and breathing. I just recovered some memories and My critic part is working over time to make sense of it. I’ve love the Warmies stuffed animals. They are so so so grounding. Warm them up in the microwave and they are a sensory dream. They’re at Walgreens i think

Recently diagnosed Autistic — “moving toward”
I’m so glad!

I’m scared to begin IFS work
Would you say that a part of you wants to do it in another part of you is scared? That’s kind of what it is but now as I get further and further in, it’s very powerful how a model helps me navigate the world and move through it. It’s pretty incredible. I’d say just start where you feel most comfortable. I started reading no bad parts and that got me to the textbook etc etc Good luck!
