my company had a job posting on smart recruiters years after we actually had the position open and even after we stopped using the damn site, every time i would bring it up with my boss he would say "the account is being removed." for years, i got emails from poor applicants who thought that the postings that were up were still valid, and no way to respond.

i think you're right, the cringe is probably just discomfort, if i ease into it i'm sure it will be worth it, thanks!

i think I am becoming a catgirl. is there like a guide on how not to be cringe but still wear cute ears and enjoy heatpats? (edit: other catgirls are not cringe, but I would be) (edit: this post is a mess I'm removing the self upvote)

Wow, thanks for that image! The symptom overlap is something i remember from the psych 201 course i did in college, forgot the name, but yeah you notice it pretty quick once you need to write it out on tests.

I was on antidepressants for a while too and I would say they helped since I was depressed, but only marginally, and it was so long ago I can't remember clearly how I felt. I dont want to come across as anti-doctor and anti-treatment of course, just think that our opinions matter too as we know ourselves.

I've had a couple people in my life accuse me of being borderline or bipolar or a psychopath or things like that as a way to hurt me, so I'm pretty sensitive about it.

A friend of mine went for years being told she was borderlinr, bipolar, went through a bunch of medications IIRC. Turns out it was just ADHD and years of her life were just wasted. Its so frustrating.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult as I was struggling (still do) to stay focused at work. But the psych also said I had OCD, possible bipolar, said there was no chance I was on the spectrum...

I dont think there's a science to the stuff at all and people can be seriously harmed by a misdiagnosis. A lot of mental health communities say that people shouldn't self-diagnose and trust doctors, etc. But I think I dont entirely agree with that. I think only you really know yourself and you should try to weigh your own judgement against theirs, while not discounting either.

Add to that that diagnostic criteria isn't super clear and has a lot of subjectivity in it, and the extremely diverse ways people respond to the same medications, and its a miracle we ever diagnose people correctly without just asking them "what do you think is wrong?"

Sorry, maybe I'm rambling

in case you dont know, they should continue to grow for several years as long as your levels are good, even if the pain and tenderness does subside after a while
