    I assume you mean that you euthanized her. If so, you did the right thing comrade. My cat's last months (she had a tumor in her gut) were absolutely brutal, she didn't eat so she lost a ton of weight, she was too weak to climb stuff, she didn't take care of herself etc. My parents didn't want to do it so she just suffered unnecessarily. You have to take care of yourself, she wouldn't want you to suffer like that, I am sure of it



  • (CW: dooming and misanthropy)

    I feel myself getting more misanthropic by the minute. The compassion I have for my fellow man erodes and only rage and envy remains as my situation gets worse and worse wrt to work and neurodivergence. I feel as if nobody can help me, not my partner, not some therapist, not the union at work and especially not some manager or HR person. I am just not built for this world, I doubt I would be able to thrive under socialism either, I am way too broken for this shit. I just want to get laid off and do drugs all day while rotting away, I am so fucking tired. Even if I get an autism assessment I doubt that I will be able to get more remote days at work, those people cannot fathom how debilitating going to the office every day is for me. They actually like and welcome RTO (at least the union reps do). I can't understand them at all. They can't understand me. I am too socially exhausted to try to reach them. What is left for me except becoming another person cast away by the rest of humanity. I don't know. I am sorry for dooming like this, but I can't bother the closest people to me with this anymore, I am afraid I might turn them away.


  • It is possible that you are less sensitive to the effects of psychedelics, different brains can differ wildly in how they are affected by the same drug/dose. Are you neurodivergent by any chance? If so, then that might lead to you having more/less receptors in your brain causing more/less sensitivity (at least that's how my psychiatrist had explained it). Of course it is just as plausible if not more that the SNRI you took is still affecting you. You can probably find a half-life calculator to see if a month is enough to not be affected by the med (for example Prozac, an SSRI with a 5-day half-life takes around a month to leave your system, but drugs with shorter half-lives will be gone much sooner)








  • I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I can't work in a monitored PC, in an open office, with stand up meetings that interrupt me and a 2h commute (total thankfully). I know I have it good with my slow-ass coding job, but this kind of environment isn't conductive to taking breaks so I just overwork myself. I already used the "feeling sick" excuse last week to work remotely, so I will have to survive another day. Being AuDHD is suffering







  • Meds are the only thing that worked for me (although I haven't tried ERP because of the cost). I am on a Zoloft + Abilify + Wellbutrin combo and I almost don't feel that I have it. Of course I have side effects like interrupted sleep, decreased sex drive, possibly weight gain and some hair loss but OCD is worse than those anyways.
