  • Wow wtf I had no idea it was available over the counter!!

    I think part of the reason it's difficult to tell if psych meds are "working" is NOT necessarily because they aren't working at all. They have a slow and insidious onset that is often not really immediately noticeable to the user.

    But like I have a friend with schizophrenia. Occasionally she feels like she is totally "better" so she stops taking the meds. Well...you can imagine what happens next...

    The difference is subtle to her, but significant over time that we all notice from the outside. So idk.

    My particular issue is mostly extreme negative responses to certain triggers to the point where I want to self harm or even go further than that. It has threatened my job. My ups can be super high and fun but my lows are incredibly extreme...more extreme than others seem to have. But I don't come anywhere close to bipolar symptoms.

    It's just like...I seem to just generally feel things (particularly negative things) much more intensely than others for some reason. And that really isn't any sort of diagnosis or disorder itself.

  • Wow. I don't think I have 12 years of concerted effort to go through. I'm glad you finally figured it out after all those years tho. Sucks you weren't able to figure it out sooner.

    I was "diagnosed" with the vague/classic combo of just "anxiety and depression", but was 100% ruled out as being bipolar.

    Tried Lexapro for a bit but I was still having some major emotional issues so I discontinued it. Had a major outburst upon first decreasing it which sucked major balls and will have possibly cost me my job. Dunno if that was withdrawals, if it meant that the drug was helping me somehow, or if it was totally unrelated.

    My provider has now been trying me on lamotrigine for emotional dysregulation in combo with therapy. But I mean the evidence for that working out is pretty poor. Took several months but I finally reached my "target dose" 2 weeks ago. I don't know that it does anything for me either idk.

  • No u!!!

    I got the guts to start asking a provider if I could try meds back in March. This is my second one I'm trying and idk if any of these are really ever doing anything or what I should be noticing. I can never tell. They seem like they do nothing.

    What do you take?

  • My cat uses both the posts and the furniture, even though the posts block some of the furniture corners. :(

  • My cat has a ton of scratching posts/boards. He enjoys and uses them, but also uses the furniture a similar amount. I try placing the scratching posts/boards in front of the corners of furniture to block it, but there are too many unblocked furniture corners. And even in a blocked corner, he will sometimes go around the block and use the couch anyway. I'm at a bit of a loss, tbh, so I tried ordering some stick on carpeting material and we'll see how it goes.

    I once heard someone say, 'Jobs are like high school but with adults.' Would you say that's accurate?

  • Wow. You are very lucky. My current job would be the best ever except my supervisor makes my life a living hell. :(

    I have been here so long that it is hard to leave my friend.

  • Well I have no idea if it is dangerous or not. I'd have to investigate further.

    Even if technically fleas may have spread the disease, they were still located on and being carried by the rats. Hantavirus is a huge dangerous one that rats can spread. There are others too as well as parasitic infections.

    Same bacteria produce toxins and even after cooking it, the bacteria are destroyed, but the toxins remain. But it depends on the type of bacteria. It's how some types of food poisoning works.

    But yeah if all of these still mean that rats are safe to eat when cooked thoroughly, I'm on board. I just don't know enough about cooked rats and quite frankly I don't feel like investigating more since there is no one selling cooked rats by me lol.
