Oh they were. Because they are us.

So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

I can only get so federect!

Oh there’s always side effects. But for me, they were absolutely worth the difference in how my brain worked. I became functional again. Also, the psychiatrist will tell you all about the side effects. Let them know what you’re afraid of. They won’t lie to you. They will help find the right chemical for your issues. Might not find the perfect one right away either. But it’s worth trying, in my opinion.

Good luck! Whatever you do, know that you’re not alone and that these professionals’ jobs are to make you feel like you can make it through the day, at the very least! So make sure they do their jobs. Don’t ever feel like you’re wasting their time or anything, which is what I struggled with. They’re there to help you.

I’m also glad you girlfriend is a psychologist. My wife has helped me through so much stuff, and she isn’t a psychologist, she’s a baker. But without her, I wouldn’t be here. And I certainly wouldn’t have sought help if she hadn’t helped me realize that what I was experiencing could be alleviated with help from professionals.

To add to this, the therapist is going to help as well, so keep going to your therapist, especially if you are starting a prescription.

It can be a rollercoaster for the first few months when you start any psychiatric medication, until your body adjusts.

But stick with both your psychiatrist and psychologist and always let them know immediately if/when you feel strange or “off”. It will help tremendously.

I wish you luck!

This is cool! But I don’t want to fill out a google form.

What a time to be alive!

Yeah, I’m really only ever going back to Reddit for comic book movie news and /r/motorsportsreplays because there isn’t a good sub on Lemmy for that yet.

Same! Lemmy definitely feels like early Reddit. Before the mods were gods and before shills and spam and porn were the norm.

Yep. Lemmy is the future of Reddit.

Getting that on Beehaw.org right now.

Is it like a grant then?

I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.

Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.

Correct

This is very cool. How do you mention people/bots on lemmy?

I think my superpower would be to be able to communicate to anyone in a way in which they always fully understood my meaning.

That’s excellent. What do you do for a living, by the way? Because Lemmy can’t be your day job, obviously!

Is Amy Goodman enough for you?
