Hi, everyone! I experience M.E./CFS, fibromyalgia, and chemical sensitivity. The other day my handyman came over and smelled like he was dipped in Febreeze Washing Detergent! I started getting nauseous, headachy, and dizzy. It is so difficult living in a world where chemical scents seem to be taking over! Riding in cars with people with strong perfumes! What scents bother you?
#ChronicFatigueSyndrome
I've lived with #Bipolar #BPD #Depression #ADHD my entire life.
I did not understand any of the labels, and no one explained them. So I studied these disorders, as well as the brain and how it all works, in order to know what was wrong with me.
Now that I'm qualified, and have a clear understanding of the workings of the #Bipolar /BPD/Depressed/ADHD brain, I Counsel people, knowing what it feels like to be #mentally ill, but mostly, I'm able to tell my clients what's going on in their #Bipolar /BPD/Depressed/ADHD brains.
IF my psychiatrist had only told me, what chemicals were working how and where, and what happens when #Mania hits, or depression etc..the day he diagnosed me, my life and loved ones lives would've been very much better.
#Psychiatrist ! please explain your patients condition to them, in a way that'll help them understand the sudden drop in #dopamine or #seratonin or #endorphins ...explain what is going on inside of our heads please!
You cannot and should not give a #mental illness #Diagnosis , without a #why ? .
Understanding our conditions, is key to a happier, understandable life for all.
IF our loved ones, and WE, know, that #Bipolar #BPD #Depression #ADHD - etc 'tilt' (as I call it to my clients) - due to our chemicals being unbalanced, then, when we suddenly get really #Manic , our loved ones will understand what #Chemical . i.e. #dopamine is filling our brains, and we are not in control of that.
IF we suddenly get #depressed , then we and our loved ones will know that our brains have had a sudden drop in #seratonin , or #dopamine or both - and that we are not just behaving badly.
To my mind, one of the most important factors needed to end the #Stigma against #mental illness, is to EXPLAIN what one cannot see in the brain - i.e. our feel good, happy, needed, yet not functioning normally #chemicals .
I have so many medical conditions from #IIH , #Fibromyalgia , #FND , #Obesity , #Anxiety and #Depression . To name what I can at half 2 in the morning.
I have such a high level of pain relief that I’ve been scared to death every time I take them as my GP said if he gave them to anyone else it would kill them. I’m maxed out on all doses of pain relief and I’ve ordered some #CBD oil. Now I know it isn’t magical, but if it helps lower some of the opioid medication.......that has to be a good thing doesn’t it?
So here goes the over working #worry brain as usual 🙄 I took the CBD oil for 2 days then I had a call from the GP that they had to take me off an anti sickness medication. Turns out I should have been on it a maximum of 12 weeks and I’d been in it over 2 years. Long and short of it is am I now stuck with withdrawals off a medication I wasn’t even worried about. I shouldn’t be adding CBD into this mix!
I trust what I’m given off my #GP to take. Is any good a good #Drug ? They keep the pain at bay. They never solve it.
Now for any tablet I’m on (about 16) from the simple to the toxic, at my #MorbidObesity I’m nothing more than a trapped ticking time bomb.
