Olivia Rivera77 said:Don't take this the wrong way, but looking at what you're describing... it doesn't actually seem that bad to me. No offense intended, just being real. Cheers.👍
Samuel Davis16 said:Are you kidding me right now? I don't see it as a disorder. Cleaning actually relaxes me.😳
I'm done with the labels. If it isn't messing with my daily life, I'm not accepting the diagnosis.😁
bluemaker52 said:Look, please don't take it that way. I really am just speaking the truth here. Even the chaos I tend to stir up serves a purpose, doesn't it? There’s actually a certain kind of significance in the mess I make.
I actually started this entire thread just because of you. Honestly, the fact that you're already seeing those red flags is exactly why I felt the need to bring this up.
Making a formal diagnosis isn't really the right way to look at it; at most, it’s just speculation. When you mentioned that you aren't interested in engaging mentally, that alone says everything that needs to be said. He’ll probably try to spin it by claiming you're being uncooperative or that you'd rather just stay to yourself, but he clearly doesn't understand. Honestly, how could he? He has no idea how much better it is to just enjoy your own company. 😍.
bluemaker52 said:Look at that... post number 666 again...
Well, that’s exactly what I meant, though you interpreted it as being about the house—mostly because of my promise to be a mess. But honestly, my chaos follows me wherever I go; "I carry everything I am with me," a lesson I learned way back during my time in ancient Greece.
If you don't work with him, the dynamic shifts. He isn't standing above you anymore; instead, you're on equal footing, and people often hate that because it means you were the one who chose to meet him where he is.
Not everyone is like that (I haven't had enough experience with them to say for sure), or at least, that's what they claim.
bluemaker52 said:Honestly, you’re just wearing me down here. Do you really want me to prove my point by simply being present? Because I am...
People, you seriously need to take action. Don't just let the wind blow you wherever it wants, unless, of course, it happens to be blowing you in the right direction.
bluemaker52 said:Honestly, calling this "spending" is being far too polite; there’s a much more blunt word for it that we all know deep down.
I’ve been scrolling through some of the recent posts, and I noticed how many people—mostly women—seem to be really struggling with this. Of course, these aren't just minor issues; they are genuine hardships. Having to fight your way through this world on your own is nothing new, is it?
But relying on pills isn't going to save anyone; all they do is induce lethargy. Once you truly understand what you're up against, you can actually start to anticipate the challenges instead of just guessing what might happen next.
Personality quirks and outbursts are perfectly normal, just like you mentioned, provided everything else stays on the right track.
Samuel Davis16 said:Lethargy. Oh yeah, what a wonderful state to be in.😳😁
That's the only time you get any clarity, right? Only then can you predict things instead of just sensing them.
No, seriously—the meds brought me back to reality. My brain was running at 100 mph; I couldn't even keep up with my own thoughts, let alone anything else...
Now I'm fine. Not high, just steady.😁
Mind you, I can't make guarantees for every pill, every disorder, every issue, or every person out there.
briskwalker27 said:I find myself perpetually searching for some profound sense of purpose in everything I do... does one even qualify for that particular category?
bluemaker52 said:If I remember correctly, even the ancient Greeks used to seek out that kind of lethargy as if it were some sort of perfect dream—but what happens when the sleep ends and the lights come on?...
So, what was occupying your mind the most? Like, what was your main driving force?...
Most of us have these massive ambitions, and people call that "normal"—they call it youthful vigor, which explains everything, really. It's that deep-seated desire to build a whole new world....

Honestly, you’ve finally found your footing,
once you reach the summit, you'll realize that while plenty of paths lead to the top, the most beautiful ones are always the hardest—and that includes yours.
So, why not become a beacon for others? Or maybe just live by the spirit of that song "slap." That's actually what I'm trying to write about right now; the stretch of the road you're traveling might just end up lighting the way for someone else.I've gotta run ...bye
Olivia Rivera77 said:Hey, what's up. Yeah, inertia is definitely a symptom. At least, it certainly was for me.
Olivia Rivera77 said:No, you’re totally missing the point. It's not that I *want* my kid to die—hell no, she’s my whole world. This happened because I was stuck in a massive depression for ages and didn't seek help, so eventually, it just spiraled into intense anxiety. When you combine deep depression with high-functioning anxiety, things get messy. Once everything hit a breaking point, I finally went to see a doctor. And look, I am absolutely not a danger to anyone; it’s just how my anxiety manifests itself through these intrusive thoughts or whatever. It is the polar opposite of who I actually am as a person. I started taking Lexapro, and thank God, everything is fine now.
Samuel Davis16 said:He just repeats everything I already know and acts like he's proving it, as if I don't realize it myself😁
But that doesn't cut it for me. Don't state the obvious. Give me something actual from those books you're always reading that I haven't heard before😁
Put some real arguments and explanations out in the open😁
He's miserable, honestly, but I can cheer him up when I show up😁
What else am I supposed to do? I'm stuck in this mess😳
wearycobra36 said:I am genuinely happy for you, Sherlock Holmes! I hope we all see this kind of breakthrough soon.
I actually have my first appointment scheduled with a psychiatrist in about two weeks. I'm really hoping it provides the relief I need. Best wishes to everyone!👋
