no problem!
what is trigeminal neuralgia, if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming it involves the brain and/or CNS

no problem! what is trigeminal neuralgia, if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming it involves the brain and/or CNS so it's a rare chronic nerve condition involving the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve), which is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions like biting and chewing. it can't be cured. sometimes people just stop having pain related to it? i'm 20 and have dealt w/ it since i was 15-16 and yea sometimes it's worse but i've never experienced what i'd call a True Stop in it. so pretty much chronic nerve pain in your face that can be triggered or made worse by stuff like wind, smiling, anything touching your face, it being too cold, it being too hot, brushing your teeth, eating. and i know you're supposed to like avoid web md or whatever but i actually really like their info on TN since it's written in a p accessible way so if you're Really interested this is a good explanation: www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/trigeminal-neuralgia#1

interesting! I learned all of the cranial nerves in my second year of sports medicine. we also learned acute injuries, which is why I didn't know what trigeminal neuralgia is thanks for sharing!

I am so tempted to just flop back into bed and try and catch another hour or so of sleep but I know if I do I'll sleep through my alarm and wake up at like 1-2 ;~;

Hot baths are my life. I used to think they were childish and gross bc you would sit in your own bacteria and stuff but then i just decided to take a shower either before/after so i dont feel gross. I prob still take one like once or twice every two weeks now.

I think my therapist is kind of stupid tbh. I was thinking about my session with her today and some past sessions and she keeps doing this thing where she will try to diagnose my friends and family by just knowing the Vague things i tell her about them and when I realized that I got pretty shaken up because?? Why is she doing that? What if she's wrong about me? What is she trying to gain from diagnosing people she isn't meeting with? Maybe she has misdiagnosed me too because she jumps to conclusions?
Like I told her today about my friend who had me pulled into one specific situation and she was all like "oh maybe your friend has bpd too" blah blah blah and i just sat there like. Chill this is just a one time isolated incident. And she also has my mom and grandma pegged as some disorders too from other vague situations. Like please calm down you're supposed to be focusing on me stop jumping to conclusions for like. Five seconds.

I only noticed this thread recently, and I have never heard of this term until now. Anyway, I have been diagnosed with depression, as well as mild cerebral palsy if you want to count that too.

Like please calm down you're supposed to be focusing on me stop jumping to conclusions for like. Five seconds. She's probably trying to explain their behaviors to you. Even though that can be done without diagnosing people........ I think therapist do tend to jump to conclusions, so I think voicing that with any concerns like "Instead of BPD i think i have DPD" or something and exploring that with her My last therapist diagnosed me with BPD just because I self harm, even though I was worried long before that I had a personality disorder like BPD or DPD. I dont want to freak you out, but I want to encourage you to look into things and feel free to talk through things and diagnosis with your therapist tbh.
