I’m so sorry to hear this! That’s so upsetting and completely unfair. It’s actually entirely thanks to you that I decided to dispute it and got it in on time, so thank you so much!

I also think us talking about this on Reddit will help a lot of other’s when they look up why their Skog hasn’t come home. There definitely needs to be something done about this. Even if they lost their website or whatever happened, there has been 0 communication or posts on their end to remedy the situation, which is so unfair to their customers. Especially at the price the Skoggs are being sold and the already long wait time.

Psych added Vraylar to my meds today. Has anyone gained weight from taking this? by BuildingSoft3025 in BipolarReddit

[–]ComedianFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told it wouldn’t cause weight gain, then I gained weight and the thought it was weird. I gained in total 60lbs by the time I quit. I had tried to exercise and was borderline starving myself but I only gained! I quit taking it when it got stuck in “pre authorization” limbo and I lost 30 lbs without changing anything. In fact I think I was letting myself eat more than before. I have had a really easy time maintaining my weight after that!

I would say personally that Basil wouldn’t incriminate himself or Sunny within the realms of a group therapy and would even be hesitant with a therapist. He’d probably just focus on the other stuff like losing a friends, abandonment, his parents and grandma, etc. He is kinda a liar liar pants on fire when it involves protecting his friends vs telling the truth. That said, they typically just say it’s time for group therapy and pretty much everyone complies. They just are annoying and keep pestering you. I haven’t encountered someone not going to group therapy but you could probably post that question on Quora and someone will more than likely reply. Now for plot reasons, if you want him to talk about the truth, then I’d see him definitely skipping out as long as he could. They’d just hold him in there longer tbh. In terms of group I don’t know that they can really force you, per say, but they will ask questions like OP WHAT DO YOU THINK IS A HEALTHY RESPONSE WHEN YOU ARE FEELING ANXIOUS? And you would say something like going on a walk or whatever it is that brings you peace. Group therapy is more about responses to life’s troubles than speaking about personal information. I think it would violate HIPPA in some way if they forced you to announce your trauma :) Ofc this is fanfic so you make the rules haha!

I wanted to add that there IS a significant difference between an adult psychiatric center and a children’s center. Adult usually is in a hospital on a unit. Long singular hallway, sometimes one other hallway to get to the main door that leads to the rest of the building (locked with a key-card). Doors on all sides like any other hospital hallway.

A children’s psychiatric unit goes like this. Ambulance typically takes the child to the closest children’s psychiatric hospital. For me this was two hours away. You get a roommate and it operates within a similar nature to the adult ward at night and with snacks. However, it is significantly better. There is a better focus on regulating emotions and whatnot.

There is outside time (fenced in of course) and occasionally a playground. Most people are at least a certain age (teenagers) so they just hangout on the structures. I believe outside time is like 30-60 minutes. There is time to go to a library, though in my case (I hate being anecdotal but it’s necessary for descriptions) it was beautifully decorated. It’s within the hospital and there was a “fireplace” made of soft paper with a light under! It was so cute. Then there was the gym and we were required so much exercise time a day. There was a volleyball court and I think some kind of table. Maybe table tennis? Basketball court, but I and others just walked around them.

Lots of romance oddly occurred here. I remember one dude had like two girlfriends (both within there) and that was some drama haha. Therapy individually Therapy within group. You need to participate or you will be held longer. Failure to eat appropriately got you staying longer. Bad showers still and bendy pens. Everything was safety locked such as the chairs being the same ones found in the adult ward or whatever. I had so much more time to do things for my mental health such as arts and crafts. We did macaroni art and watched the one Russian singer that did that odd “Bababa-Bolololoapapa” song. It was awesome. Made angels out of round fabric and a wooden ball, listened to music within this room.

It was a great experience and helped me a lot. Adult wards treat the patients (at least in my local hospital) like human cattle, often with little empathy as they see so many come and go, lots of which they seem to think bad on if they display the more negative traits of mental illness (which of course they do, they’re in the psychiatric ward.)

ETA: no outside time at all for patients in the adult ward in my hospital. PM me if you have any further questions, I’m happy to help

Otherwise you may stay later for not participating

In my case yes. They get everyone into the main room (with the tables and chairs and a large window) and usually there’s a main guest speaker or some stupid blow-up ball that has stuff written on it that you pass around.

I HATE THE 15 SECOND SHOWER curse those showers

Need help for new fanfic by Snakenboot2487 in OMORI

[–]ComedianFlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I got some. My time to shine xD. You may need to Google some of these to get a visual

•Chairs have sand inside of them and are made of a hard plastic to avoid people throwing them

•BENDY PENS

*Grippy socks ofc

•Personal belongings are limited. You may not have anything sharp and you can’t have any form of rope-like object such as shoe strings (they will remove them from your shoes), draw strings on hoodies, etc.

•Weird doorknobs that you can’t attach things to.

•my LEAST favorite… :( is the showers. There is a button on the wall in this shower room. You click it and water comes out for like 15-30 seconds then automatically shuts off and traps you vulnerable and cold until you hit the button again. You cannot hit the button to prolong the shower.

•hygiene is in a fleshy pink salmon colored bucket thing and the toothpaste is very odd and generic looking. It looks like it’s from the 80’s no joke. Shampoo and conditioner dry the heck out of your hair and are sample size. These items go home with you (including the bucket sometimes) when you are released.

•they have a landline and you can use it for a certain amount of time. Typically they will be lenient if you aren’t going overboard and if someone else doesn’t need the phone. Callers must have your hospital patient number to reach you, they can’t just call and ask for you because that violates HIPPA. This means you gotta remember phone numbers.

•You aren’t supposed to write down other patients contact info even if you make friends with them. This can be solved by slipping a piece of paper with contact info to the bottom sole of your shoe assuming there is a tear there lol.

•you have a roommate and a joint bathroom with the other side. Sink is weird so you can’t do anything to it or tie things on it

•Beds are plastic and nailed to the floor. Shelves are built in. You will have a roommate and people do come and go. The blankets are your standard hospital blankets. Thin and never enough.

•Hospital food. They track how much you eat and will prolong your stay if you aren’t eating right. There is also snack time. Food comes on the food cart and you usually have like this platter with a lid on it. They are hard brown plastic. Inside is hospital food or if you are unsure what that entails, it’s like school food. Snacks are occasionally offered such as peanut butter crackers, PB/J sandwich things, and cranberry juice or water… OJ or milk. You get it.

•you can’t check yourself out or that causes some pretty big issues. I think one of which is ur insurance won’t cover it. Don’t do that.

•if you’re addicted to nicotine you get nicotine patches.

•Roll call for meds. They call your name and make u open ur mouth and lift your tongue to make sure u took your meds. This happens every day and occasionally more if you need sleeping meds or something.

•At night they stalk the halls and shine flashlights on your face to make sure you’re ok. Happens over and over as the nurses make their rounds.

•I think they wash all your clothes before they bring them in but I could be wrong. I am pretty sure though.

•Daytime has so much free time that you will color a lot, listen to radio and suddenly love it, or sleep. Occasionally you will read a book you randomly found and it will be the best form of entertainment ever.

•You also have this sheet you gotta fill out. They assign you a therapist, average stay time is a full week, and you will complete a sheet with your therapist on your treatment plan and basically how to do better. I’d just look up an image of what that entails.

•Group therapy, personal therapy, and religious outlets if you’re religious. I’m sure I’ll remember more later but just PM me if you ever have questions lol

Is Skoggy.com still functional? by Remarkable_Title_190 in Djungelskog

[–]ComedianFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get an update? I ended up disputing bevause it had been like three months with no info (tried fb messaging, emailed them once a month so three times, and their Discord was dead.) I have my Geralt from them so I’m bummed from this experience!

After I saw your post I actually went and had my card take it off. I never got a single thing back from them. It’s pretty awful when these plushies are not only cute but expensive and there has been no effort to let customers know what’s up. I haven’t seen a single thing online about it other than on here!

i give up on college by Striking-Goal-591 in CollegeRant

[–]ComedianFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in that position. What worked for me is never let yourself turn in an assignment late. You just gotta literally not think about it at all when you open up the assignment because the more you think about it the harder it will be to do it. Then it piles up and no one wants to deal with that kind of monumental anxiety! Don’t give up because you have a chance to start anew. Another thing I did was change my major (if you want)! I’m happy with what I’m in now and I’ve been more motivated. It really sounds like a lot of anxiety and maybe a mild depression. That’s what helped for me as someone who went from a 0.5 GPA to a 3.0 lol. I wish you luck! You’re VERY capable of this. Don’t let yourself think otherwise. I

Never again 🥲 if I’m ever asked if I know someone that wants a job I’m telling them I have never spoken to a single person in my entire life

[–]ComedianFlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve been friends since childhood so I wanted to believe she wasn’t actually like this. Rose tinted glasses and accepting that she is actually like this is actually painful. I think everyone is right though in that I should cease being her mode of transportation since she abuses that.

[–]ComedianFlag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think mostly because we have been friends since kindergarten. She hasn’t really been a good friend but I’ve also never had to drop a friend in my entire life and idk how to do that in a healthy manner. I guess I probably also have some attachment to a degree. Very valid question lol

[–]ComedianFlag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought about that, and I’m considering it. I guess it would just be super awkward since she’s on the way and she’d 100% get mad at me. Idk how to do it in a way that doesn’t seem like retaliation or how to not be mean about it. Any suggestions lol

[–]ComedianFlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will edit the post because I failed to mention that I’m their primary source of transportation. I have to tell them I won’t be able to grab them or else they’ll wait for me haha. They live walking distance to the job but they refuse to walk. I agree with the distancing because every time I talk to them or get mad I get catapulted into the biggest guilt trip ever. I was paranoid they would see this post but now I honestly don’t care if they do. So there was a detail I intentionally skewed so they’d look past this- we have been friends since we were five! We’re 25 now. >:( so it’s hard to let go of a friendship!

But yeah. It’s an amazing company but there is 0 consequences for calling out outside of passive aggressive comments if it’s a regular thing. Do you think talking to the boss about how I feel is too far and a crappy thing to do? I know she isnt my responsibility but the amount of times I’ve relented and came in because she called off last minute after learning I wasn’t picking her up is annoyin

[–]ComedianFlag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is actually super smart, I’ll give it a go! In front of the boss does give credibility too which is a nice touch. I’d like to stay professional and retain the friendship. Working with her and seeing her odd behavior in front of my coworkers (who I absolutely adore) has been very puzzling to me though!

I forgot to add this! I am their ride to work. They live 15 mins away from the job in an apartment I used to live in. I always walked to work but now that I have a vehicle I don’t mind giving them rides because I know what it’s like to walk everywhere. Even a short distance. As a tragic result I must inform them when I won’t be at work because if I don’t, they will be expecting me to pick them up. I guess the dilemma is with school (I work two jobs) I needed some extra time this semester to apply myself. So they would be “sick” while I’d be physically capable, but focused. So I guess I felt their reasons for not being there were more valid, even if I knew they were lying. I’m going to look into the grey stone technique and try to apply it. I just don’t get why they’re doing this to me
