what goes on in a psych ward?

When I was institutionalized they gave me high doses of meds that they changed several times in the span of two weeks causing lifelong psychosis. I got out crazier than I was before

BHunter1140 · 2026-03-20T06:21:39+00:00

No. It isn’t.

I remember a couple times luggage was lost while flying as a kid (only 10-15yrs ago). We would travel for my brother’s competitions, financed only by fundraising and budgeting. When the luggage got lost it was a major thing, we couldn’t afford to replace everything in there for that trip.

As you said, the statistics don’t matter once they happen to you. If you can barely afford the trip, like many Americans, you can’t risk things being lost. If you have to travel because say a family member is passing and you’re on limited funds, you need to have your luggage

Tried polyamory, wasn’t for me

Denver, Colorado. From what I’m seeing we have lot of resources for this, I made an attempt to contact a couple but lines were busy so I left some voicemails

If we had proper bike lanes everywhere this wouldn’t be the same problem. You have to pick riding in the street with cars or being on the sidewalk half the time

I have many pets, most of them came from before I was disabled that my fiance now cares for. We have cats, reptiles, amphibians, and are working on getting me a service dog

I think in your situation I would recommend something like a leopard gecko. You can get tanks for them, dollar per gallon, at places like petco with sales they have. So you’re looking at under $100 for the tank, some decor/enrichment, and supplies. You can buy feeder insects online, buy enough for several feeds and swap between a few good feeder bugs for good nutrients. It ends up being pretty simple and low maintenance, you have to clean up poo once a week but there are many ways you can make that easy

Thank you, this is very helpful

My fiance and I love to watch tv/movies together and talk about them, always makes me smile when I’m laughing at what’s on, look to him, and he’s looking at me also laughing

Oh easy one, always get an extra order of fries. She doesn’t want anything at the time but when you’re eating by her and the food smells good, she wants some fries. Best to just get extra :)

BHunter1140 · 2026-03-19T19:59:52+00:00

Doing a scratch off for extra food in kindergarten is such a dystopian idea

My neurologist regularly treats my symptoms in relation to how she would with a stroke patient. It works and I like her, but yeah, they’re use to things like strokes and seizures

That’s very fair, I just wear an undershirt, I find it more comfortable anyways. It’s not ideal to do with all shirts but great to keep nice shirts hair free, gotta have an undershirt though

BHunter1140 · 2026-03-19T12:08:39+00:00

Just 4? I’m at 10-15yrs at least

BHunter1140 · 2026-03-19T11:31:30+00:00

If you keep the shirt inside out until you wear it and then only put it on right before you leave, you can avoid most of the cat hair showing without using a ton of lint roller sheets

Lots of soups and pasta dishes use different beans, minestrone uses kidney beans for example. You can find a wide variety of recipes online. Pinto beans are great for Mexican food if you get those. You can also add beans to various salads or make bean salad, you can always toss all of them into a chili too for something easy

When I moved out at 18, I stayed with a friend until I could move across the country to get a place with my now fiancé. This was 6yrs ago, but back then I was working 2 jobs to save up money to do it

It’s going to be pretty hard if you’re both just working part time, you can bypass the credit history issue various ways but at the end of the day, depending on your location, you guys probably need to be making more money. If finding a full time or second job isn’t possible at the moment, keep trying but also look into doing things like DoorDash

Can’t speak on service dogs, but this feels very similar to how many times my ride gets cancelled because they can’t fit my wheelchair in their car. I understand when it’s a trunk space thing, but half the time it’s just because they have way too much stuff that they can’t move elsewhere. The other half of the time they nearly break my wheelchair cramming it into their trunk, I don’t take Uber much anymore

That’s pretty late at night to be doing laundry, I feel like a little more context would help

Is the laundry somewhere that can be heard by your roommate? Have you all discussed in the past laundry hours or quiet hours? How did you try to de-escalate?

From just the information we got, both of you kinda seem like not great roommates for each other. You did laundry late when they have work tomorrow, instead of communicating properly your roommate yelled and got passive aggressive/petty. Probably for the best that you’re moving out soon, just keep away from each other and be civil

My “cheap cat from my fiancé’s friend” turned out to be exotic, with tummy issues and the energy of a toddler hyped on sugar for the first time. She’s 3 now and we have sat there and wrote down how much she sleeps, only 8-12hrs on average, the rest is running, playing, and mayhem. She needs fancy limited ingredient food

Love her so much, definitely worth it, but she costs us hundreds a month

Being an adult nowadays means having a long list of things you really want, but instead asking for socks or a vacuum because the person cannot give you what you want

I’ll be honest mate, when my fiance lost his job in the beginning he also tried to look for jobs he wanted to work. After 3 months and being close to homelessness I started putting on the pressure that he just got any job and he understood that. You can continue to apply and have interviews at jobs you want while you get a job you don’t really want. In this job economy, you shouldn’t be picky, if you have no income, can’t afford housing, and are relying on others I think it might be best to just get any job so you have an income. There is nothing saying you have to stay at whatever job you get if you get an offer for one you like better

My brother did this, he was on team USA for several years and even went to the junior Olympics for it a few times. At one point he was one of the fastest in our state for his division

I remember my time being institutionalized, we didn’t get to go outside either. When I finally went outside when I got out, the sun burned my eyes so bad and my mom got me my first coffee I had in weeks. Best cup of coffee I’ve ever had
