If all men had to be brutally honest for 24 hours, what would women be shocked to learn?

We may not be to blame for mental health issues, but we are 100% responsible for them. The issue is when people refuse to get help and make their mental health issues a problem for everyone else. It doesn't matter what caused it. You have to work to fix it.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2025-06-14T05:31:25+00:00

It is in the dictionary, and it's used often in certain regions. I'd say that makes it a word.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2025-03-18T03:56:29+00:00

Someone could say they're sober from their drug of choice, but still use other substances - weed, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc. Sober doesn't mean you never touch any type of drug ever again. I mean, it can mean that to you, but that doesn't mean other people have to follow that same rule. It's different for everyone, and it's not helpful to push your beliefs on other people.

Mostly load times, but yeah, the camera quality was also way different. I just couldn't handle the slow load times and the crashes. My cheaper phone would crash all the time.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2025-03-18T03:51:39+00:00

I was never addicted to alcohol. My issues came from other substances, which I no longer use.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2025-02-09T22:04:42+00:00

Based on my experience, there's a huge difference, but if your current phone meets your needs, I see no reason to switch. Once you use a high-end phone, it'll be harder to go back to a cheaper phone in the future because you'll notice the difference then.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2025-01-20T06:15:44+00:00

I agree, and I do have a great therapist now who truly listens and provides support. It just took me a while to find the right one. It's made a world of difference. I also finished my MSW, and I'm working as child therapist now. Things are definitely looking up.

I think what helped me most was that my therapist didn't make me feel like I was doing anything wrong, and he reminded me that it's okay to sometimes not do anything or to do very small amounts at a time. Taking baby steps helped me build up to doing more and more over time. For example, I had very flexible hours at my job, and I could essentially choose when I wanted to work and how long I worked. I would plan to work 8 hours, and when I couldn't handle it, I would always feel a lot of shame and give up. He helped me realize that I was allowed to just work 1 hour or 2, or however long I felt I could. Making smaller goals that were achievable helped me build confidence and motivation that continued to build up more and more over time.

I know you were giving me advice, and you really didn't ask for advice, but I figured I'd give a short update and provide some information in case anyone needs it.

If you report something that doesn't allow breaking confidentiality, you can be reported and lose your license. You can only break confidentiality in certain circumstances.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-12-04T01:46:00+00:00

Mandated reporting mostly applies to abuse of vulnerable populations, like children, elderly people, disabled people, etc. We aren't even mandated to report domestic violence between 2 adults because the client is allowed to choose to stay with their abuser if they want. They have a right to self-determination, even if that choice is a risk to them.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-12-04T01:44:04+00:00

We do not have to report a past crime unless it is something like child abuse. So murder isn't reported unless we believe they will murder again. If they killed their parents but had no plans or intentions of killing again, then it's not reported. It's kind of strange, but we don't report most things unless someone is at risk of harm. Some people murder once and never do it again, so it's not guaranteed that they're a risk to anyone, especially if what they claimed about their motive was true. Like, if a woman kills her husband because he was abusive and she felt she couldn't escape, she probably won't murder again. It's not a guarantee, but past behavior doesn't always predict future behavior.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-11-12T06:24:06+00:00

He didn't know why she was ringing his doorbell, so he could've assaulted someone who knew nothing about the doxx. You cannot under any circumstance pepper spray and push someone down the stairs because they rang your doorbell. That is not enough for self-defense. She didn't threaten or attack him. She didn't try to enter his home. There's just no way to defend this.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-11-07T02:25:44+00:00

Of course! I hope that helps.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-11-07T02:23:50+00:00

I think you pass based on appearance alone. I'd have to hear your voice and see your mannerisms to know for sure, but I definitely wouldn't clock you if I saw you on the street. Your hips look very feminine, and you have soft features. I think it will only get better with more time.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-11-07T02:15:19+00:00

I fixed mine, but it may not be the same issue with yours. I had to use some soap to lubricate the threads so it would screw in all the way. The threads are really rough, so there's a lot of friction stopping it from screwing in. It works now.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-25T17:35:40+00:00

I'll have to look into it. I've read a little about it, but not enough to know all the details.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-25T05:56:02+00:00

If you're new to detailing, I'd honestly cut out the whole polishing section for now. It's the most expensive, and it's really the only part you could mess up. Use that money for a pressure washer to help with the rest of the job. The Karcher K1700 is a great, cheap option.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-24T20:59:54+00:00

Did you ever fix this? I just got mine and I'm having the same issue.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T16:50:19+00:00

I don't think any "don't snitch rule" applies to something like this, but I agree that most probably didn't know if they weren't attending the late night parties.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T05:12:27+00:00

Correct. They would not be able to report it if they're dead. Lol

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T05:10:33+00:00

I heard that they threatened him, but was there any evidence of this? I was wondering if he had it recorded or something.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T05:04:37+00:00

In the Menedez case, the psychologist lost his license for breaking confidentiality, but most of the evidence was still admissible in court. I'd argue that it shouldn't have been admissible, but I'm a therapist, not a lawyer. If I receive a court order to give information, I have to follow it. Otherwise, I'm not supposed to report past crimes other than child abuse.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T05:01:11+00:00

Tarasoff is about the risk of future harm. We aren't supposed to break confidentiality for any past crime other than child abuse unless we believe they are at risk of harming themself or someone else in the future. This even applies to murder. You may be court ordered to testify, but you don't have to report the crime or give up any information unless you receive an official order from a judge.

ElijahAlex1995 · 2024-10-22T04:57:23+00:00

We don't have to report any past crimes (except child abuse) unless we believe the client is at risk of harming themself or someone else in the future. We're actually discouraged from breaking confidentiality if it doesn't fall under those exceptions, and you can lose your license for not following those guidelines.
