“I know I promised that I’ll soon break up with her, but it’s not easy. Every time I try, she begins to threaten me with suicide, saying she can’t live without me. I have to wait until she’s in a good place mentally before cutting her off completely.”
He’s a dirty liar. He doesn’t want to really end things with her. He just wants to eat his cake and have it👍🏽
My mom got mad at me over an apple this morning. I did eat her apple last night, but she typically cuts it up for her lunch the night before and it wasn’t… And I do all the grocery shopping these days… while she caters meals specifically to my brother. I had no dinner soo… 🍎
It’s really hard seeing best friends I’ve grown apart from hit huge milestones in their lives that I’d thought I’d be there for. For some reason, it’s too complex to reunite.. or maybe they really just don’t want me around because too much has happened. I wish it were simpler.
I don’t feel like a real person today. Everyone else around me is a person with a life that matters. Mine never matters in comparison to anyone else. Why is my brain so mean to me?
@taylorsschumann I couldn’t imagine the rest of my life because I couldn’t imagine escaping. I literally couldn’t picture it. It was like a void. That’s part of the reason I had a breakdown once I was out. That, plus the constant fear of rapture won’t really have you planning for the future.
@ElliHeath_ @rylielovesphil@scarolinewells@AllisonRaskin I’m glad you’ll be a good therapist. I said nothing about having to be a “good” patient. This is not an ideal world we’re living in. I get what you’re saying, but you aren’t offering any solutions. What I said will be helpful to some people. That’s why I said it.
@Christopheyyy@rylielovesphil@scarolinewells@AllisonRaskin I agree. I also think this can be helpful in many ways to the patient. It shows the patient that the therapist knows the difference which can allow the patient to feel more comfortable talking about it without fear of hospitalization.
@ElliHeath_ @rylielovesphil@scarolinewells@AllisonRaskin I agree, but I also think if you’re armed with the tools, it can help you determine if that therapist is a good fit for you. It’s easy to just say “that’s wrong.” I’m just trying to offer some solutions for people who have experienced this and would like to avoid it in the future
@rylielovesphil@scarolinewells@AllisonRaskin@ReginaMangala Try rephrasing. Suicidal ideation is how my therapist explained it to me. She told me there is a difference between thinking about it vs. making plans to do it. Sometimes I would think about it as a coping, comfort mechanism, but I never truly acted on it.
I just heard a client tell my coworker that she’s the nicest person in her life.. That is both a beautiful and tragic sentiment.. What a special relationship we hairstylists get to have with our clients.
@vickylynnxo@ayywalker@theashrb Right! I think that many people would prefer a doctor that they can relate to, regardless of gender or sexuality. I’d still feel more comfortable with a lesbian gyno, than a male gyno. So it has nothing to do with sexualizing anything for me, personally.
I just wanted to acknowledge a huge milestone and achievement in my life. I am finally completely financially independent from my dad. He has nothing over me anymore and never will again. I own my car, I’ve got my own health insurance, and I’ve got my own car insurance. I’m free.
@maeveaura @ObiscureNick That’s what I was trying to explain. Those are the same thing. Whether voluntary or not, it’s still a 5150 hold. You have a good day as well!
@maeveaura @ObiscureNick I’ve been on an actual hold before, too. It seems silly to go back and forth on whatever you think defines an “actual” hold. It’s no shame on her. It’s literally just what it’s called when someone is a danger to themselves or others, whether they recognize it or not.
@maeveaura @ObiscureNick It still is a hold. I’ve gone voluntarily before, but all that means is you agree to let them hold you for 72 hours. They don’t let you leave once you’re checked in. And after observing you during that time period, they can choose to extend the hold longer.
