Please don't ignore my post. My page is very weak and my child is suffering from a skin rash due to the tents. I ask you to stand by us to overcome this.

#Sertraline gives me emotional regulation issues but it also does a pretty sweet job of holding the #depression at bay. I know which poison I prefer.

Makes me wonder whether I truly am cyclothymic or if the agitated ups are just sertraline side effects.

I've had imposter syndrom specific to my various diagnoses bad for about the past year (not related to other longer running imposter syndromes) or more. I've worried that I would have been found not mentally ill enough to get on disability because I've been pretty stable.

Being stable doesn't mean no symptoms though, they have just been more manageable. For example I haven't been having hallucinations or delusions, symptoms of schizoaffective, but have had other schizoaffective symptoms like severe lack of motivation, emotional blunting, inability to experience pleasure from activities I once enjoyed, and asociality. There's also severe cognitive issues I experience like issues with executive function and working memory which are permanent. The asociality has probably contributed to my lack of presence here on mastodon.

Fortunately I'm on a med that is really good at repressing the bipolar symptoms of schizoaffective, but... That also contributes to imposter syndrome.

Anyways, I worried that because I'm not currently experiencing delusions or hallucinations I would be denied disability. Its a pretty silly worry tho, because I have other symptoms. But this doesn't determine whether or not I have imposter syndrome.

My hope is now that I'm finally getting on disability my imposter syndrome will fade at least some.

Today’s Reflection on Recovery & Grief

Recovery & Movement Recovery from mania and depression is taking longer than I'd prefer. I'm sure much of this is due to hormonal shifts in menopause, but I haven't been able to get an oestrogen patch prescribed. Long story. It would probably help me a lot and give me relief, but I seem to have this situation and have to accept it for what it is right now. Today, I rode my spin bike lightly while watching season one, episode 4 of House of the Dragon with my daughter. I haven't been […]

These are the diagnosese listed off for consideration to determine my disability:

Schizoaffective disorder
Autism
PTSD
ADHD
Anxiety disorder
Borderline personality disorder
Alcohol use disorder ("in remission")
Gender dysphoria

When they make the consideration they take the totality of all relevant diagnosese, not just the primary one. It's incredible that I even had to appeal, that they originally denied me having disability. This shit is disabling. Schizoaffective is also a 2 for 1, being symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar wrapped up in one nice little package.

Made a thing using my Scrabble board. These are my diagnoses. Fun times!
