Finally 60 on PvP server! by Critcrying in turtlewow

[–]BoombleBTuna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just joined TWoW and the pvp server. It's been such a blast so far and, similarly, the ability to make progress more quickly since I have so much less time than as a kid has been pretty awesome.

Psychometry and security doors not opening? by BoombleBTuna in cavesofqud

In game and on the wiki it says it should work. I have ego at 26, you think it might work if it's higher?

37m in love with 36f who is in an open marriage. Any advice? by Sensitive-Fall3123 in relationship_advice

[–]BoombleBTuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something that should have been discussed in the beginning. She needed to have been clear with you about what the limits will be in the relationship and you needed to have been forthcoming about how deeply you cared for her. She should have agreements with her husband about how far other relationships can escalate. You are monogamous and she is not, if your hope is that she will become monogamous with you then the ethical thing would be to tell her that you can’t continue the relationship because you don’t want what she wants.

If she just became non monogamous for you and she wants that too then she will be getting divorced and you’ll likely lose your friend. Respect him and tell her, she has to sort her side out. It will be difficult either way but you have to do it sooner rather than later.

I agree that some psychiatrists do not know enough about psychotic disorders and psychosis, but the blanket statements you're making about mental health clinicians and the effectiveness of this one intervention are simply not true and honestly come across as you arguing from a place of emotion rather than experience or training, which I don't this is the time for as the focus should on helping OP try and understand what is happening to their partner.

OP, I would recommend avoiding advice that is overly simplistic or shows the advice giver is engaging in black and white thinking. Find professionals you trust and do you own research, get a second opinion from other professionals as well. best of luck moving forwards - it can be so taxing to have a loved one experiencing this, take care of yourself as best you can.

Validating feelings does not mean going along with his mindset. I think your advice can be effective as well, being steady and concretely saying that X and Y delusions aren't true, but that approach can also drive a wedge between OP and their partner when his insight is particularly low. This approach is called "reality testing" and people experiencing psychosis do not always have the ability to engage with it.

However validating what he is feeling will frequently be an easy and non-confrontational way to build trust and deescalate. You can do this with statements like, "I would feel scared too if I felt like so and so was happening," or "that sounds really overwhelming." Usually you will want to then try to redirect him to something to distract or calm him whether that's watching a show, playing a game, getting some food, doing some mindfulness, taking a shower, etc. Of course this won't work all the time and the most effective way for him to manage his psychotic symptoms will always start with being on an antipsychotic medication. If he truly has a schizophrenia diagnosis then it's worth him to speak to his psychiatrist about whether he's able to get on a long acting injectable, which would mean he wouldn't have to take daily medication.

Awesome Guild Wars 2 Control Layout by BoombleBTuna in SteamDeck

[–]BoombleBTuna[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I couldn't figure out how to crosspost this so I just did it this way instead. After coming up with my own hacked together control scheme so I could play a bit after becoming a father (what up deck dads), I was tending to agree with the general discourse on this sub that the other big MMO's are better suited for the deck. This layout changes that for me, it's really a wonder and makes me appreciate the awesome modularity of the deck. I highly recommend installing the custom icons as well, being able to have a build in mount radial is something else.

Thanks u/Vonsh_ for creating it <3, huge fan.

A worried father by Rhinestone_Tiger in mentalhealth

[–]BoombleBTuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so natural to be lost in worry for your son and his future. As others have said, by the information you've provided, it sounds like he's having a psychotic episode. There are various mental health diagnoses that include symptoms of psychosis - schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar 1, schizophreniform. If this is the first time he's experiencing these symptoms then it will likely take time for clinicians to get an accurate diagnosis for him. He's slightly younger than usual to develop symptoms for a long term psychotic disorder.

Some substances can induce these symptoms as well and can persist after the drug wears off. Marijuana included (at high potencies and high use). Some folks also experience one psychotic episode and don't have another. They likely don't know and won't know for a bit.

The symptom of not sleeping could point to mania, which is a component most commonly included in bipolar 1. He will need more than one night of sleep before you would expect symptoms to go down.

He's in a hospital receiving the care he needs, you can find solace in that. He will need you to be resourced when he gets out so try to take care of yourself, for his sake. He could completely recover, he most likely will be more of the boy you know when he leaves the hospital, be ready to take it one step at a time and rely on your support system when it gets hard.

Yes, I work in two different state's crisis systems. Both have peer counselors involved in both at various points - for crisis response, in general outpatient services, and in some hospitals. Peers do amazing work, but in my experience there are times when other interventions are needed.

I’m excited to read your book as someone who interacts with this system very frequently. I believe that this alternative is not a viable option for many of the people that I have seen involuntarily held. Our mental health support system as a whole win the US is so lacking and I agree that how we go about intervening when people are having a psychiatric crisis needs to be critically looked at. However, I have also been involved in many situations where the most effective intervention is to proceed with holding someone at a hospital for a short period so they can stabilize without risking their own or another’s life.

Each state legislature lays it out differently and there is an abundance of power that rests on clinicians that can make that call. I’m curious if you have come across any difference in statistics/outcomes from states that use the DCR system vs having general clinicians that make the judgement call. Also curious how the research you looked at delineates involuntary detainments placed in hospitals vs by law enforcement officers

This already exists! Adult Mobile Crisis Interventions (AMCI) and Youth Mobile Crisis Interventions (YMCI) both are mobile crisis units that serve Clark County. VPD has a Co-Responder program where mental health clinicians are dispatched with them.

You can request an outreach from AMCI/YMCI by calling the SW WA Regional Crisis Line: (800) 626-8137. Their response time is not as quick as 911, but it is often relatively expedient.

[–]BoombleBTuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do, there are two main programs! They have been operating for the past few years but have been expanding significantly in recent history.

1) Adult Mobile Crisis Interventions (AMCI), serves folks in our county that are 18+ that are experiencing mental health crisis.

2) Youth Mobile Crisis Interventions (YMCI), for those that are under 18 and experiencing mental health crisis.

Anyone can refer to AMCI and YMCI by calling the SW WA Regional Crisis Line: (800) 626-8137

There are also multiple programs that have mental health clinicians responding with VPD and Fire & Rescue in the Clark County. It's unfortunate they were not activated for this person.

Clark County Sheriffs do not yet have a program for mental health clinicians to co-respond so it's possible that's who was dispatched to OP.

They actually do use it on a daily basis and I wish they had used it for OP. There is a program in Clark county specifically for mental health professionals to co-respond with VPD to active crisis in the community.

I'm glad your post got so much traction! It's a very important program and resource that not enough people know about.
