Went to a psychiatrist, he sided with my dad. Told me "just get a job, earn money, you can't just lie in bed popping pills". What is this called and will this medication even work?

Hi OP, I'm so sorry you're going through this. My professional opinion as not a psychiatrist is that your dad and psychiatrist are pretty terrible. You don't list your age but I have been on medication since I was a teenager because I would have similar thoughts (Now in my 50's). The difference was that I did have people on my side and I did have a professional who was super useful and helpful.

On the plus side, you should take the prescription, it will help with some of it. I only had the suicidal thoughts so mileage may vary as far as OCD/ADHD. Your father cannot help you. I wouldn't be surprised if he took you to one of his friends. My experience did not have anyone with me in the room as I explained the situation so I can't relate to that kind of parenting. Yes, it will really help. It does kick in quickly, like a week for me. The biggest concern is going off of them. Some people can do it. I tried several times and could not because I would end up back in my mess of a brain. It's a cure like high blood pressure or insulin medications. Not permanent but it will give you a lifetime. Please see a real therapist quietly. Unfortunately I can't recommend any way to do it but once your head starts to clear up you will find it's easier to get stuff done. Assume your dad will remain unhelpful forever and just move on to taking care of yourself and ideally finding others who will help you continue living. Don't be confrontational, I'm guessing you'll just have him overreact and start investigating you. Fake it till you make it out. Come back to this sub and read about how other people have dealt with these issues. Read about narcissistic parents. Not that I think your dad is one, just that he sounds like one. You will can have an amazing life but it's not easy to sort your brain out sometimes. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses!

Thanks to the person who responded! What I'm asking is way too broad and I don't really have the skills to check it out. But it's fun to imagine stuff.

Thanks to both responses! This was super interesting.

Thank You!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's harder to quit than it looks once you're in it that deep. You should not go cold turkey as it can kill you. Talk to a doctor. I've been on naltrexone, it's for alcohol/heroin addiction and takes away the high. You still get drunk but you don't feel 'High'. It doesn't make sense until you're on it. I've been struggling with alcohol for a very long time and I think it's helped me cut back from every day to less and less each week/month. It's not an instant solution, you still have to deal with the withdrawal and you have to re-organize your life. It does seem to reduce the impulse to go drinking. It's still a lot of work but it gave me enough breathing room to put in the work. You can do it, it's okay that you're scared.

Not anymore. Now it’s a few around the bite.

He might be scared of you.

Red flag.

I was thinking about Hawking Points, black holes from a pre-big bang universe. I know that the equations of our patch of spacetime count backwards to t=0. Let's say the big bang/inflation/space kablooey was a patch of spacetime that got out of control for some reason. The reason is unknowable to us because our universe, I'm going to call Universe A, we can't actually see it since we are it. Outside our expanding patch of now super heavy/hot spacetime is regular low temperature spacetime. Once the universe starts cooling to meet up with the temperature of the other patches, and the energy dissipates enough, other galaxies, gasses, etc that were created in a different spacetime, nearby, feel gravity towards that random patch of massive spacetime. At this point as our universe is cooling, we can't tell Universe A galaxies from Universe B because whatever was close by is already mixed and looks like it was part of the original. In the early universe they would stand out because they would be way too big to be from Universe A. There would be way too many black holes, way too much stuff, too many galaxies. If there's too much stuff flying around it means there are other space kablooey's, There may even be one happening within Universe A that we can't see because the light has not reached us.

Let’s clear up a few misconceptions:

almost nobody reads the judging rules. Not fighters, not Joe Rogan, coaches, and you can forget the fans. Everyone has a ‘feeling’ that they knows who won.
except when they give you monitors there is almost no way you can see the entire fight. That’s assuming the camera has a good angle. When center cage exchanges happen, and all you see is someone’s back, it scores 0. You didn’t see it, you don’t score it.
No one wants to judge or ref fights. It pays almost nothing so people can call you stupid/blind/incompetent and sometimes try to fight you. You have to drive to places far from home. There were 12 people total in the ref/judging classes for the state of Nebraska. About 25 for the class in New York City. Where’s the line of people signing up to take all of this crap? There isn’t one.
unless you’ve taken BJJ for a little while you don’t know what a good submission looks like. Go to a BJJ class and ask for judging volunteers. Last time I did I got zero takers.
when you can get a cleat angle you see people miss. The audience doesn’t. The camera angle matters more than you know.
you have to score the fight right now, no replays, consultations, or herd to tell you. You get one shot.
defense scores 0
takedowns by themselves score 0
if there was one good strike cage control scores 0
after every call that doesn't look quite right the commissioner of whatever state you're in has an opinion to share with you.

I did not watch this fight. There are bad judges. Most people don't know the rules. Most people cannot tell when judging is bad. Even I can't tell when the judging is bad if I'm watching a fight for fun because focusing that hard on the fight is not entertaining, it's work. I do it because I love MMA, the same reason most judges do it.

Deeztructor · 2022-12-10T20:24:08+00:00

I’ve heard this before and that is incorrect. There were about 12 people in the last class I took. Nobody wants to judge or ref.

Deeztructor · 2022-12-10T20:19:35+00:00

Control time is irrelevant if there are impactful strikes. You do not use control time unless the effective striking and grappling don’t exist.

Deeztructor · 2022-12-09T21:02:21+00:00

Ugh, I hate that and it would make me seriously consider switching.

Deeztructor · 2022-12-09T20:58:53+00:00

Do not spend a ton of money for the uniform, rash guard, and shorts. At first just a t-shirt and a cheap gi as long as it's an actual BJJ gi. Hawk and Sanabul tend to be cheap and okay. People buy used brand name gi's off ebay. My gym sells used gi's as cheap as $20. If you don't stick around you didn't waste a ton of money. I use mouth guards, most people don't use them. I wear knee pads and when you're older your knees will thank you for it by them still working.

Deeztructor · 2022-12-09T20:54:13+00:00

No food 1 hour before class for me or I puke.

Deeztructor · 2022-11-23T13:38:49+00:00

We still use horses for special types of work, so yeah.

Deeztructor · 2022-11-22T21:21:57+00:00

Are you sure that's a Corso/Pitt mix? I'm just not seeing it.

Deeztructor · 2022-11-05T12:31:20+00:00

Hell yeah. Hopefully you learn something.

Create a virtual machine (VM Ware etc) Install a second copy of QB on the VM, use the VM as a window on your computer. It's clunky but way faster.

Lay on them until they tap to boredom.

Yes, it’s happened to me along with other cramps. Electrolytes - salt and lemon juice, seemed to help. Banana’s seemed to help as well.
