Psychiatrists are such a joke

Ive been having a hard time getting stable and sleep has been awful, so I went to ask my psychiatrist if there’s anything he can prescribe to get through the nights. I decided to not google anything beforehand and just asked for “no antipsychotics or benzolikes”. He went “sure there’s zolpidem”. I asked him what kind of medication that is and how it works, to which his reply was “it’s a uhh.. it helps you sleep”. Ok, whatever. I double checked and asked him “and it doesn’t work on GABA?” To which he replied “uhh I’m not sure, let me check….-no it works on ‘gamma-aminobutyric acid (in dutch), it does not work on GABA’”.

So he prescribes me 10 of these pills, I get home and go to google the medicine. First thing I read is (paraphrased) “this is a medication that works on GABA”. Sure enough GABA is the short form abbreviation of the thing he mentioned that it works on.

What kind of joke is that? How am I ever supposed to trust a psychiatrist if they can’t even get something that simple right? I’m not even gonna bother picking up these sleeping meds, what a joke.

Ik kan niet meer zonder het geluid van de airco

Afgelopen week heb ik 24/7 de mobiele airco aan gehad ivm de hitte. Het was gisternacht voor het eerst weer een beetje een normale temperatuur in huis dus had ik had ik hem maar uitgezet. Ik begon gelijk in mijn hoofd zitten en na een uur wakker te hebben gelegen ben ik er weer uit gekomen on hem weer aan te zetten, en binnen 5 minuten was ik weg. Nu merk ik dus ook overdag als ik hem uitzet dat ik onrustig word en het geluid enorm mis. Het lijkt wel een soort verslaving… herkent iemand dit?

“Er wordt in een kleine pond gevist”

Dit is het sentiment dat ik regelmatig voorbij zie komen mbt de transfergeruchten, maar het feit is dat ons cluppie nu gewoon weinig pull heeft door de prestaties van afgelopen jaar. Het is daarom wat mij betreft begrijpelijk dat de fundering van deze transferperiode met name Spanjaarden zijn, aangezien je op deze manier toch spelers van een hoger kaliber en status aan kan trekken, beide door Jordi en het aanstellen van Michèl.

Wil je weer snel meedoen om de titel dan lijkt mij dit een logische eerste stap, en als je eenmaal grotere namen binnen hebt dan zal het ook aantrekkelijker zijn voor andere spelers buiten Spanje om de stap naar Ajax te willen zetten; het geeft het hele project meer credibiliteit. Of dit inderdaad ook de visie van Jordi is, dat weet ik natuurlijk niet. Het pessimisme is er bij mij in ieder geval nog niet ingekropen.

You guys (specifically) need to take better pictures

I randomly started getting these online dating posts recommended and went down the rabbit hole. I’m seeing a whole lot of defeatist attitude and people (guys) complaining about being ugly. The truth is every single time I go through a “I don’t get matches” profile review, the pictures and bio are terrible and void of any personality or happiness and way too many selfies. The profiles I see of women are (mostly) so so so much better, it makes me go “this looks like a fun person to be around”. Big smiles, personality, approachable. I know most people are going to shrug this off but I can promise you that for the vast majority of you it’s not an issue of how attractive you are

Anyone else experience mania from benzo wds?

Thought I was getting stable cause I was feeling better. Turns out that wasn’t the case and what I was really experiencing was (hypo)mania. Didn’t listen to care providers who suggested I might be manic, or all the people around me saying I was acting different. How energetic and talkative I was. Over time I’d lost track of how it felt to not be on benzos. I figured the stark contrast of being sedated and depressed from the benzo haze, or feeling like shit from withdrawals, and now being “normal” is what was causing the euphoria.

I figured this was how I was supposed to feel, but then I came crashing down. Now I’m having a hard time coming to terms with that “feeling on top of the world” feeling not being my baseline. All of a sudden reality feels depressing. Has this happened to anyone else?

Muscle memory; can I just eat a lot?

Been sick for a year, was unable to workout and got skinny. I’ve been back in the gym for about 2 weeks now and though I’ve regained some muscle tone I’d like to get back to my previous size. I’m currently 71kg at 183cm, used to walk around at 80-83. Can I aim for 2-3kg a month in bulk due to muscle memory or will that cause me to gain too much fat? I’ve regained muscle in the past but usually from unfit same weight to fit. Never had to bulk to regain lost size so not sure how muscle memory works in that regard
