2024-09-26 03:38:42 +0000 UTC# Ask Kati Anything Hey Kati!! Thank you so much for hosting this podcast!! You are such a kind and caring person and I learn so much from you! My question is what would you do to help a patient who truly has nothing left to live for? I have a multitude of diagnoses, Quiet BPD most prominent. I was officially diagnosed at 18, but have been having issues all my life. I've tried a multitude of different meds since I was 13 (at least 4 months on each one and every med you can think of), TMS, Spravato, CBT, DBT currently, and all different types of therapists. I don't feel there is any reason to go on or continue trying. I have no family support (they are my trauma). And I can't lean on the couple of friends I have. All I have are my two cats, and they are both sick and won't live past the next year or two. I am only making myself survive for them. Once they're gone, I want to be too. Yes, I've told my therapists and psychiatrist about this. They keep trying the same, but 'different' treatments. They don't seem to understand when I say there is a true disconnect in my brain. I can logically understand, but it doesn't matter emotionally. No amount of DBT mindfulness or skills can work to bridge the gap. I've been working, truly working, on this for two decades. I'm in my early thirties and can honestly say that life holds no meaning to me. I also struggle with physical issues and chronic pain. So unknown neurological/muscular issues along with a host of other physical things doesn't help my outlook, I know. Add in major financial issues and you got a great, big pot of misery. But, life has shown me nothing but suffering. Nothing. The very tiny whispers of slight happiness I get from my cats is not enough to make me want to stay. How would you help a patient like me? One who has literally tried it all? P.S. ECT is off the table because insurance won't cover rides and I have no one to rely on to bring me back and forth.

2024-09-23 18:11:49 +0000 UTC#Ask Kati Anything #KatiFAQ Hi Kati, I know my question is long, but I need your help! …Give a little attention to someone’s who’s never had any and they’ll be slipping and falling all over the place unable to contain the joy of being wanted…” --Rupi Kaur, Predator This poem changed my perspective on a situation that happened 5 years ago. For understanding, I am a physically disabled person with full cognitive abilities and was and am of consenting age. I had (from my perspective at the time) consensual sex 5 years ago with a caregiver. Now, I feel like I was groomed and taken advantage of emotionally. I was the one who told them that I had feelings for them, apologized, and told them they could quit, however they told me they had feelings for me too, leaving me feeling shocked, surprised, excited, and wanted. I had never had been intimate with anyone or even been kissed. So the offer of this was just as intoxicating as giving an alcoholic a drink and telling them not to drink it. With this being said, how do you deal with this new understanding while also feeling like a fake survivor? I can't believe it took me 5 years to understand this (while processing this in therapy, and after a report was made). I didn't understand what happened until read the poem. I feel as though this person made it my idea, and to top things off I wasn't the first one they slept with. They get no legal repercussions because of the fact that I am not in a group home etc and I manage my care. In other words, how do I validate that what happened to me was wrong, especially after realizing it 5 years later?

2024-09-20 00:21:33 +0000 UTC@Ask Kati Anything. Hey, Kati. I am, after years of struggle, at a very good place thanks in no small part to your videos. There is a question I can't shake though: I was not raised religiously but there was some religious legacy in my family. Therefore I have spent a Lot of my childhood questioning religion, god etc. I am an agnostic but the important Thing is this: I keep being upset by faith and religion. On the one hand I despise the toxic teachings almost any religion has some History with and I keep getting jealous and angry at religious people. On the one hand because they can believe something that doesn't register for me spiritually. On the other because of the self-rightousness of the Idea that, because it is from god, it MUST be good or we are doomed. Especially when other peoples lives are infringed because of what to me looks Like a codependent relationship with something that might not exist but is depicted as vengeful, boastful and abusive at times. My question is this: How can we learn to accept not knowing if god exists and more importantly, how do we defuse from the negative feelings associated with religion. Is it a certain skill to be tolerant to beliefs we cannot share? And how important is religious faith for mental health. If it is okay, I would also be interested in what you do or don't believe in. For example, I don't believe in the bible but am open to the idea of a person-like creator. I don't consider them necessarily loving or vengeful though. Just as gravity is not. What are your thoughts about Divinity, existence etc. if that is okay to discuss, I would really Like to know at least what might be bothering me about other peoples faith. Keep up the good work and thank you.
