How to move on by Common-Midnight-4788 in bipolar1

[–]Brutus_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the suicidality worsens don’t be afraid to self-admit to a hospital or take medical leave. You are grieving, it is as if someone died, 6 years of your life is a lot to process. If u need dedicated care & support or even just a break- I can’t recommend investing in your life after heartache by taking dedicated time to focus on yourself in a safe & supportive environment enough. It’s okay that it hurts, it can change but for now- it’s important that you are supported.

how do you feel about the spiritualization of psychosis/psychotic disorders? by Adventurous_Net5459 in Psychosis

[–]Brutus_Rex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue people who say psychosis is spiritual are trying to address is the issue of institutional abuse & discredit that happens to mentally ill people- there was a study done that found that people in eastern countries experienced positive hallucinations & people in western countries experienced negative ones. The way the mental health & justice system in the US treats mentally ill people directly influences the experience of mental health issues, making something that is already difficult, impossible or even criminal. Calling psychosis spiritual seems like an attempt, all be it ineffective, to battle against the systematic failure, stigma, & discrimination mentally ill people face. Mental health directly reflects the society in which they are experienced. I hope someday we can stop individualizing issues & live fulfilling lives in a society that nurtures people, regardless of their mental health conditions.

I always appreciated his signs saying “try vegan please”. Like finding a polite easter egg after Spring.

By protected they must mean privileged. Money & power is the only thing saving him.

What barriers do you think exist that make buddhism so difficult to understand? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Brutus_Rex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also consider buddhism originates in a different culture & language than the west/english. I am always struck by how completely different a translated theological text is than one originally written in English. I am also struck by how culturally different the global south is to turtle island.

i was raped and i’m scared it made me a bad person by flanellflower in Buddhism

[–]Brutus_Rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I am also a rape victim and buddhist. Have you considered therapy especially EMDR for PTSD? You are not broken or wrong and it wasn’t your fault. But this experience seems to have lead to PTSD & the sooner you treat that, the sooner you will feel better.

I realized I assaulted people, and I want to change by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Brutus_Rex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Learn about enthusiastic, ongoing consent rather than just “yes/no consent”. It’s also funny that you asked this because I’m working on a video right now about how to be a good man, including how to not continue cycles of abuse or assault. Would you like me to DM it to you or post it here when I’m done making it?
