“Hello everyone, how are you? This is my first time ever doing a Reddit post that's not work related and I'm a bit nervous. I read the rules but if I'm doing anything wrong, please tell me and I'll delete the post. I know only a doctor can diagnose me (I'm trying to get a diagnosis it's been two years), but I'd love to know if anyone has similar experiences to mine. I'm trying to describe it without it being too long XD Okay, so I'm a trans man, 29 years old, a”

“Please don’t give up. Know the feelings of worthlessness you have are not true and they are not reflective of reality. They are lies your mind is telling you to trap you in a spiral of negativity. The reality is you are not a mistake and you are not worthless, you are just struggling. You’ve got just as much right to exist be happy as anyone else does. This is something that has taken me years to learn as I’ve dealt with my depression. I’ve found therapy to be incredibly helpful, as well as prac”

“I am currently on a leave of absence from my job right now. I got into an extremely dark place and needed to step away. The LOA is much needed. You should submit an LOA immediately and it can start the day you file (Usually through FMLA, but I haven’t been at this current hospital for over a year so did an ADA accommodation). I also am returning with an ADA accommodation that drops me to part time. Use your benefits. Take a break, talk to a therapist/maybe some meds, get some sunshine, look for”
“It might be time to consider inpatient treatment if that’s possible. Have your wife look into what public resources are available to keep your family afloat while you are focusing on your mental health.

I don’t know about police, in my country they don’t do anything about “ass slapping” 🤡 but, maybe you can try”

“Original Post Here Hi all, I don’t know if this is allowed but I wanted to just share an update on the panic attack dad from yesterday. So many of you reached out to me both in the OP and via DM and I thought maybe there’d be some interest in a little 1 day later update. First, I am calm. I’m sitting next to my sleeping swaddled son as I speak. I also talked to my wife - she validated that we both don’t know what we’re doing and that’s ok, and that from what she’s seen, I’m doing pretty damn alr”

“I’ve been many times. All voluntary. There are holds if you present as a threat to yourself or others. Most of the time if that’s not the case you remain voluntary. Longest I was in was a month or so. Main reason at that point was a flu outbreak happened on the ward and they can’t discharge you if you’re sick. lol. So anyway, I have been there as long as 10 days for full med holiday and rebuild of my meds. Worked wonders. Haven’t been in since. Relieved a very hard time for me. Gave me new persp”

“Unfortunately this is false, reporting can cause harm. It’s why my state child abuse training specifically said don’t report a hunch. Report reasonable suspicion not a hunch. The training then said you may need to ask questions ro determine reasonable suspicion. I think the training wanted to clarify it because let’s say CPS is dealing with minor calls then they wine able to deal with actual serious abuse. However it is true that kids in cults are definitely more likely to be abused.”

“Yep, they would have held you. Currently struggling with SI and my therapist knows, but she knows that I'll tell her when/if it gets to the planning phase and then that's when I'd have to be hospitalized.”
