Little backstory:

I would go visit a guy in prison regularly for 4 years that got arrested for drugs and selling his gun to an undercover. We were friends before he got sentenced and I didn’t want him to be alone and I really care about him he’s a good person but that’s besides the point.

A couple months ago (I’m a server at a restaurant) this guy came in 4 days in a row specifically to ask me if I would get him medical weed in exchange for a gun (I have my medical marijuana card and live in a medical state). It felt strange and obviously I’m not stupid and declined again and again but he came four days in a row and sat at the bar and would go back and forth w me about this basically trying to convince me to say yes to this “exchange” obviously I kept saying no and he never came in again.

When I told my friend in prison he immediately assumed it was a fed and like it’s never left my mind since, at first I just thought it was weird but after he said that it made me think. Maybe I’m a conspiracy theorist but I feel like they’re always listening through our phones and idk I just feel like they sent someone to try to set me up because of my relationship to my friend in prison and what he was arrested for.

Cause when I think about it why would anyone offer that to a random person. You don’t know me, I could commit a crime with said gun (would never but you get my point) and it would trace back to you it just all sounds and felt super super fishy. Also weird because you can still buy THCA legally without a medical card at vape shops so why would he need me?

I never got the dudes name but he told the bartender he was medically discharged from the army and doesn’t work anymore just gets disability checks. Is he not able to get a medical card because of his past in the army? What are y’all’s opinions? Am I tweaking?

Super quick back story in bullet points:

- I am a 23F
- had Invisalign when I was 15-17, had tmj during the early stages, went away once my bite was fixed
-have been on sertraline for 5 years at 200mg

Past couple months I have noticed I would push my lower jaw around, mostly forward, not grinding but just moving it around my teeth were never touching. About 6 weeks ago I guess it caught up to me and I started getting TMJ again and my jaw was clicking it hurt, my ears popped everytime I opened my mouth.

I brought it up to my psychiatrist and she informed me that a long term side effect of Zoloft/Sertraline is “bruxism” which is like the jaw moving and grinding and clenching etc…

Well now it’s been like 4 weeks since I saw her and she’s been having me taper off it.

I also went to the dentist and they gave me like this thing called “Aqualizer” which is like a mouth guard with these water pods to hold your jaw open so you don’t move it. Honestly I’ve noticed some improvement, since wearing that consistently but I still have the TMJ. I’m just hoping once I’m fully off the Zoloft/Sertraline that it will go away for real.

But honestly I just think people should know that that’s a side effect of that medication so if any of yall on here are struggling with TMJ and take that antidepressant, maybe try discussing it with your doctor. I myself know that I need antidepressants so now that I know that, once I’m fully off the Sertraline/Zoloft I do want to try a different medication.

I (23F) got tested for ADHD and BPD when I was 19 years old by a Neuropsychologist. The testing was 4 hours long, and when I got my results it was 32 pages. I’ve been through a lot in my life, more than I wish for anyone. The ADHD diagnosis was serious I was told I shouldn’t even drive with out taking my medication. The BPD diagnosis is where it gets confusing. He said I have BPD, I have the symptoms, etc. but since I am so young he wouldn’t “officially” diagnosis me with it because it is such a severe disorder. He said I could just have the symptoms because of what I was currently going through at the time and things could change in the future. I understood it because I feel like sometimes people don’t take you seriously or judge you for having BPD so maybe he was looking out for me, but as I’ve grown I also feel invalidated because it wasn’t something that I was just going through at the moment it has been 4 years since I’ve been tested and I feel the same as I’ve felt everyday since repeated trauma, the first being when I was 6 years old.

Part of me wants to go back and get tested again because I am older and things are the same, but at the same time I guess a small part of me deep deep down doesn’t want that confirmation. Not that it’s a bad thing, but I think I hope that maybe he was right and it’ll go away one day.

Idk I guess I just wanted to know if other people have had something similar where the doctor said you had it but wouldn’t officially diagnose you? Did you feel like you needed that validation? He said I had the symptoms but he wouldn’t diagnosis at the time because I was so young and the symptoms might go away, but they never did.
