Since I've only been on here a week I'm posting a 2nd #introduction ...I'm Bryan (duh) in #Ottawa, almost 50 (embracing it), #bisexual cat dad (my baby's turning 5 in June), here for some #queer content, maybe some music (I'm a #disco and #edm fanatic), movies (keen on #horror right now), some real talk about ME / #CFS, #trauma / #PTSD / #CPTSD, and I might talk about working out and cooking (because no one's ever done that online). Here's a 30-year-old photo of me, I look EXACTLY the same now.
I don't know if anyone else has gone through this. I've started #writing a new play. It's awesome and flowing, but it's triggering the fuck out of me. I won't go into details. I thought it would be fine and easy going and it is. But after I write, my mood crashes. It's not just the subject matter. It's the act of opening up. Has anyone else gone through something like this? It's fucking exhausting and I'm questioning if I should write at all. #writerscommunity#writerscoffeeclub#AuDHD#ptsd
"Giving people who lost their humanity, people were reduced to nothing, giving them their dignity back … Psychologists can’t do that alone. We need responses at state and international level. We need the rest of the world to stand with us.”

My anxiety over the upcoming #weather is not doing very good for my actual #anxiety my #PTSD or my #bipolar I don't have very much in life but I really can't afford to lose anything else and I have no way to make sure everything's somewhat secure and off the floor so when it floods it doesn't get destroyed I'm really tired of stressing out trying to live each day and not getting by and now I got more bad weather to worry about
Kind of non-update update about #dementia thing,
I called doctor to clarify what he said.
Ended up with non-explanation explanation “It’s reversible, I’m not saying it’s non-reversible. You can still live healthy life “ What about stress he gave me?
There are lots of articles saying people with #ADHD can have #Earlydementia at their 50s, though I suspect they are trying to making money with those who have money and abandon without.
(I tend to be angry because of #PTSD)
@sordid@actuallyautistic@br00t4c Well, I suppose you could look at it that way. Me, I've got multiple anxiety issues: I'm #autistic, and I have #PTSD, so when I encountered her book I was in need of 'establishing order in chaos'...I found that her philosophy had its merits.
Since April is #AutismAwarenessMonth, I felt like I should amplify the fact that people with #Autism and #Autistic spectrum disorders almost unanimously feel that #AutismSpeaks is counterproductive in that it actively avoids allowing autistic representation, and focuses on suppressing autistic traits in general rather than trying to bolster coping skills and give autistic people wider acceptance in society.
It's the equivalent of an organization about people in wheelchairs, run entirely by people who are inconvenienced by them, pulling attention away from advocacy for ramps in order to find ways to make the wheelchairs less obtrusive, at the expense of the people in wheelchairs.
@damieng OOOOOOF!!! You invoked my #PTSD by making me remember attempting to herd teams of programmer cats combing through billions of lines of COBOL, and C, and C++, and UNIX shell scripts, and Teradata this, and SunSparcStation that to insure 65 million pharmaceutical benefits management covered lives getting their prescriptions on time! Concurrently, there was a white powder anthrax scare! I am twitching. I am sweating. My pulse is racing. Oh my Blood pressure.
If you have ever filled out a diagnostic questionnaire, which questions bugged you (and why) & which did you think were missing?
You can also answer privately, if you want.
I'm am starting to collect questions and ideas in order to optimise diagnostic tools.
Please add, which diagnosis you're referring to and which language the questionnaire was in.
It doesn't matter which one it is, here are just some examples: #ADHD#autism#depression#PTSD#cPTSD#DID#anxiety
Having now watched all 3 episodes of #Breathtaking on real-time TV, the Q. that keeps coming to mind, is how did they cope?
the patients, the #nurses, the #doctors and (yes, even) the managers?
made to deal with a situation made worse by a Govt. making it up as it went along, often making it worse due to a lack of concerted leadership, we sacrificed #healthcare professionals to #PTSD, ending over 400 of their lives...
a truly harrowing three hours TV which summed up our own shortcomings
My situation has just drastically changed. You do NOT need a #Cohost account to read this post.
TL;DR: My father is now at risk of losing his job, which means my parents are going to keep me in this house to take my money. My mother continues to try to scare me out of moving out. I have nowhere to go. I need guidance. Please help me.
