    Let me answer your question. Drugs are exongenous and life is not meant to be a high. Actually life is extremely harsh if your awake. Most people who enjoy life are in a temporary high and delusion. JUST LOOK AROUND 😂. You think this world is meant to be enjoyed. Ukraine, Gaza, every other country thats Islamic. Nuclear winter. Famine. Your psychiatrist is an agent for the drug company. Do they take them??? Wake up

    You ought to try coming off long term clonazepam use woman. 10 - 15 years. They say the same things about Mirtazapine (I’m still on that for sleep. Yes take your meds if you have chronic conditions - especially abnormal. The stigma is probably going away, and that’s a good thing of course. Do your research. You won’t regret it.

    Because it's based on a FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING, you don't have a female diagnosis crisis. You have a diagnosis crisis that miss male and females. As long as you look at what is between someones legs as a REASON they get missed, you are never going to fix anything as that isn't the problem.

    I know you posted this video years ago and am not sure you still check messages but my therapist just suggested EMDR to work through PTSD from early childhood trauma so I'm just in the getting to know stage. This video truly helped me to understand a few things that the therapist (who's extremely gung ho about this) didn't talk about that I feel she should have. It's given me things to think about and will help me ask better questions of the therapist before once again ripping the bandaid off my trauma (let's just say this is NOT the first thing we've tried and had fail). I'm beginning to think the continual having to revisit it all is almost worse than just leaving it be and shlogging through. Thanks for laying things out so clearly.

    I’ve been grounded for 2 weeks because I’m a boy she’s keeping me away from my female cousins and friends because she thinks I’ll end up gay, she says I’m stressing her out but when I attempt to live with my father she doesn’t want me to because I’ll be worse there and I’ll end up killing myself at this point why am I even here

    Don't GLORIFY neurotypicals, they do tend to make life harder for anyone around them, including other NT's. To the point that we actually have evidence to suggest being NT is a mental health issue, without a good education system to sand off some of the evolutionary hard edges that made us able to survive in a less civilized world.

    Thank you for the helpful information. I would like to throw in some advice, if you don't mind. I feel it would have been great if you had gotten straight to the points, by omitting use of the "uhs snd ums" much, and to thank your hubby separately from the video. I guess you did realize this, since you mentioned you were sorry for rambling. Other than that I apologize for the critique, and thank you for understanding.

    Hate the expression selective mute. Nothing selective about it! Other forms of communication should be available as standard. Some people are non speaking and it's horrifying how they are silenced, excluded and their capacity and agency denied. It's a civil rights social model problem. Speech chauvinism must end. Putting pressure on people to communicate verbally is wrong.

    Mirtazapine works well from day 1. But good luck trying to get off of it, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. Probably because it occupies so many different receptors.

I have a fear of medication right now I feel terrible may head is pounding every day I have no energy and I still have anxiety throughout my whole body and very low concentration.. I've been on it for almost 4 weeks and feel like giving up due to the sadness and headaches that I feel like it's causing me If you have any more guidance for me that would be appreciated thank you so much your video did help me feel a little bit better

    It helped me within two weeks and I felt great. I slept like a baby, but then I wanted to eat everything I gained about 40 pounds within two months so I quit taking it immediately and then I was put on the fixer which is the most horrible drug ever made, my advice never ever take it. You will have withdrawal missing one day of dosing. Be very careful these anti-depressants. They really don’t know if they were how they were or what they do.
