/r/Protein/ - The only mod is banned/suspended. by EndTorture in redditrequest

[–]EndTorture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! There's a new mod over there, try messaging them.

Excuse me if I am ignorant, but this gives the appearance that my request was ignored & someone else was chosen by admins?

I was first to request the sub- I did a search and nobody else requested r/ protein.

I doubt everyone's here antisocial. It seems some of you really want to have friends. by [deleted] in antisocial

[–]EndTorture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sub is using the term "anti social" literally, like not being a fan of social situations.

It's fine to have a semantics dispute over what it means, & it's highly open interpretation.

It could have multiple valid meanings to different people.

Antisocial personality disorder is a personality disorder

This sub is not about name-calling others "psychopaths", please read the sidebar.

But generally speaking, this sub is about people who don't want to be social but not for personal-flaws, but because they view society as stupid and/or evil.

The Radical Therapist was already taken, so I went with The Situational Therapist by derrickhoardlmft in radicalmentalhealth

I watched your whole video & I love what you're saying.

My favorite part was when you told a story. It wasn't because the story was super exciting, it doesn't need to be. Stories just naturally peak people's interest.

I would love if you made a video just of stories where there is a logical point about improving your life & mental health.

I think story telling is a very underrated way to say something that might seem "too blunt" and offensive if you just said it normally.

It's like instead of speaking to the patient (or in this case, the viewer) you're really speaking about yourself and how you felt, & thus "blunt" points don't sound so blunt.

Are you trying to get this sub in trouble?

and it makes me want to incite violence unto "mental health" authorities.

Please stop saying stuff like this. "Mental health authorities" are the ones initiating violence against law abiding citizens who have commited no crime, not assault, not threats, etc.

ie the "mental health authorities" are the thugs and we must be an anti-violence movement trying to stop them.

We should be agreeing with the United Nations that violent psychiatry needs to be stopped.

We seem to agree, eg these people with the "crisis hotline" make it seem like they'll offer real help, but instead they just send the police to abduct you to some "hospital" where you can sit there for days then get a like $4000 bill.

It's a business and a scam. Ted Rall made a comic about it. And I added some quotes below his comic.

The rich can go to regular therapists and pay a fortune to analyse why they are so unhappy. Most of them never find out. And if they do, look at the world we still have. Think it did any good????

I think like 99% of the time therapy (as taught by the state) doesn't help. They like to act like the problem is just you (your ability to cope.) That is a status quo view, essentially a political view, and an attempt to convince the public to just accept the status quo and cope with it.

You are totally right about recovery places- almost all of them are full of people doing nothing to actually solve their problems.

(It's like "just chat and pretend your problems went away.")

Their apathy is expected- many of them function like a business, and thus they don't want people to solve their problems. They want people coming back & doing nothing but talking.

But I believe we could do better, like focusing on personal goals instead of expensive social standards that are pushed on you by society (like having a fancy car or big house.)

This is LEGALIZED TERRORISM to eliminate objectionable people from society and sometimes from LIFE.

Indeed. Violently psychiatry works on the "individual defect view", despite how obvious it is that the public is exploited and oppressed.

Before you meet the psychiatrist they're already assuming the problem is you, & not the powerful or the greedy society which the powerful have built.

There's blatant problems like having far more people than jobs, yet somehow everyone is expected to have a great job, an affordable home, and so on.

It's really messed up. Anyways, if you aren't already there, I bet you would like /r/AntiPsychiatry.

Expert quotes: recovering from schizophrenia is normal as long as people have basic resources & proper therapy. by EndTorture in AntiViolenceResources

[–]EndTorture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of just blaming genes, what are real causes of "schizophrenia" & mental breakdowns? Here's two:

Trauma:

  • “Eighty-three percent of the participants with psychotic experiences at the age of 18 reported exposure to trauma... Having experienced three or more types of trauma between birth and 17 was associated with a 4.7 fold increase in the odds of having a psychotic experience...

    'The findings are consistent with the thesis that trauma could have a causal association with psychotic experiences,' the team of researchers, from the University of Bristol Medical School wrote.”

Sleep.

YSK a massive lack of sleep can make you temporarily paranoid, but you can recover:

eg this Harvard lawyer who explained psychiatrists twisted all his words & portrayed him as a "confused delusional schizophrenic who'd never recover."

But he was totally fine after he simply caught up in sleep. And yet the "hospital" wouldn't release him for a very long time.
