@GoyGirl I don't have traditional depression. I tie my moods to my friends, people I love and the way I'm treated. I can have an amazing day just because somebody I really like spent their time making sure I was happy and content and the next day I lose a best friend probably permanently, I'm shown to be easily replicable by another the night prior. I don't get sad easily but when I am sad it's full swing unfortunately. I have figured out how to control anger or spitefulness in the last 5-6 years but I can never curtail the control others over have over my mood and I think that's a major downfall of me and my personality ngl
@graf @GoyGirl Some people have that where one person fucks your complete day up

Some of us can fight with one person and turn around and be just fine with a different person like nothing happened

Some of us can't compartmentalize that, you are one of those maybe.

Ironically, it's the brain you got that makes you good at what you do technically, that also fucks you not being able to compartmentalize

Pattern recognizers are awful at compartmentalization, because its the lateral thinking here that fucks you but makes you good at tech, and also over-analyzing and recursive loops, which also make you good at tech but not at compartmentalizing

Something that helped me, after years of failure getting out of recursive loops and bad moods, was speaking it out loud. "I'm not doing this shit, why the fuck would I be doing this shit to myself", it took a time for it to work, not saying it works for everyone.

try it, keep doing it, in the end what does it cost you, but sincerely, give yourself shit, out loud for letting others control how you feel. (this excludes gf shit, that's another kettle of fish)

Sincerely mate, I hope you figure it out
@Robert_Edwardly @f0x @GoyGirl @graf rofl I never thought it was. it's just if you're gonna armchair diagnose somebody you might want to have some idea of the shit you're diagnosing people with (unless your goal is to come across as bitter and provocative for no reason)

bpd and bipolar aren't even close to each other and the symptoms that are common between them cover a vast range of regulation disorders with extremely different etiologies. it's about as useful as saying a dog "looks like it could be a german shepherd or a shihtsu" (I don't respect the diagnoses themselves either so arguing their finer points isn't gonna matter to me, it's just that you only showed you don't understand the labels you yourself are trying to use (which is funny because you claim to have some professional training in it))

Well put, lol'd. Nigger swept the floor while watching mentally ill people get mistreated. At best an orderly. Aka worse than a nurse, somehow.
Unpopular opinion/hot take, whatever: fully 75%, if not more, of "mental illness" is physiology.

By that, I mean you're eating some shit food, taking some shit pharma/OTC/rec drug/booze, wreaking havoc on your blood sugar, BUUUT - yes - human interactions are physiology-affecting, too. At least 80-90% of it is within our control beyond teen years, even the human aspect.
Had some counselor admit once that they were also finding anyone whose personality might've clashed with, say, their fundamentalist boomer parents' expectations... was often being mislabeled as bipolar by late teens/early 20's.

It was just cycles of anxiety about trying to be/find themselves amidst parents who didn't accept them, & occasional "depression" at process, or to fit in more. Hmmm 🤔
