  • Very similar thing happened to me. It felt weird for a little over a year. Like I wasn’t sure who’s eyes I was looking out of.

    I can’t afford diagnosis either and I don’t think it would be super useful for me. What it did change is how I organize my life. Now I make sure to have ear plugs/noise cancelling headphones with me. I make sure to have time on my own and/or doing the things I’m in to. The best thing is that I no longer feel like a moron because I’ve mishandled a social situation. Now I can chalk it up to not understanding, learn something, and move on.

    Best of luck in your journey!




  • I think you’re talking about the new medication approved to treat postpartum depression.

    Increased risk of suicidal thoughts and actions is a very commonly listed side effect of a great deal of antidepressant medications. That’s why you’re supposed to be closely supervised when you start them and report any oddities to your doctor asap.

    So it doesn’t increase suicidal tendencies across the board, only in those who are susceptible to that side effect.










  • “ Even the most locked-in user eventually reaches a breaking-point and walks away, or gets pushed.”

    Bang on. This is why I’m here (and lots of others now), because Reddit is enshitifying.

    Also, this is a dope sentence: “ The emphasis of lawmakers and policymakers shouldn’t be preserving the crepuscular senescence of dying platforms.”

    I had to look up the big words but they made my day.
