Update! antipsychotics might be the answer! seroquel specifically…. hopefully. only about a week in but it can be used for treatment resistant anxiety, most common side affects are weight gain and sleepiness, and it targets dopamine more than serotonin so much lighter on the stomach! so far not many gp side effects maybe a little heart burn. i have high hopes! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
i’m only 21 and i feel like i’ve had enough!!! i live in a small red state and i’ve been struggling since middle school. i came out as queer at a very young age and i came out as trans in highschool. highschool was beyond traumatic, i was threatened in anyway you could think of, followed around in and outside of school. on top of that i was constantly fighting with teachers and admin at my school. i remember being so excited to sleep because everyday i slept through was one day closer to getting out of there. The one and only thing i had was my friend I’ll call j. j came out around the same time as me and we’ve been friends since preschool. we were in the office together often facing the harassment together. obviously we were already close but highschool really made us family. a little after we graduated he got kicked out (bc of the trans stuff) he moved in with me. that really solidified the family relationship we had. we both had really rough relationships with our parents but my mom was beyond supportive of him. i ended up coming out as trans to them but it did not go well at alll. i got kicked out after a lot of fights about it. i moved in with my bf and he moved into an appt with his. however his relationship is beyond toxic. he’s been telling me about more and more concerning behavior. we go into a fight where he mentioned some really concerning actions on his bfs part. i told him i you was at a loss of what to do and really worried about him. i finally called the relationship abusive after biting my tongue for so long. he didn’t say anything back and blocked me on everything. i’m trying to tell myself that we’ve fought before and gotten through it. he just needs space but this is so awful. he’s the only family i have at this point and i’m beyond worried about him. i also have some very strong feeling about his bf but im holding back on telling him those as i don’t want to make the situation worse. but it feels like getting kicked out all over again. like im losing my family. i would take back everything i said if it meant talking to him again. i talked to his sister just to make sure he’s physically safe and someone else is aware of the situation but aside from that ive just gave hjm the space to be upset with me and haven’t tried to get ahold of him. i’m just so sad about this whole thing.
I just learned from my therapist yesterday that there’s a comorbidity between ocd and gp?! so one how many of yall have ocd? and also what are yall taking to treat it? i can’t stomach any ssri ive tired. (all lowest does possible) This is such an evil combo!
