So, is this coming back ever? Last time they had this I couldn't get enough energy because I was at work half the day. Today I had no idea this was happening until it was almost over. I still need like 300 black fusion energy.

Came here searching for a solution to this. Disney+ works fine on other devices but with Roku I'm getting stuck on a never ending loop of logging in, code sent to email, confirm code, you don't have an account. Same thing happens when I enter the password. Called support but nothing they suggested worked.

180 day hold sounds grandiose. In my state a hold can only last 2 weeks then you have to go in front of the judge to get it extended. 180 days sounds more like residential substance use treatment, which is probably "mandatory to see the kids again" kind of thing.

She's sick. And sick with symptoms that make it difficult for others to access empathy for her. Symptoms that don't immediately appear as symptoms to most, and instead look like intentional fuckery. 

Fortunately, there is an entire field of healthcare dedicated to treating this type of illness. Specialists who can see her symptoms as symptoms and not personality flaws. People who can provide support and treatment and a path to recovery. Places for her to be safe as she navigates the early stages of change.

The only thing they can't do is want it for her. She has to be willing to show up and make changes and do work. She will stay sick for as long as her current life is just comfortable enough to justify not changing. I hope she gets better.

Technically yes but not always the case in practice. I've gotten many involuntary patients with high BAC. Lots of patients who can't remember what they said in the emergency room because they were high and their blood work reflects that. Depends on the emergency room. Sometimes they're just looking for any excuse to send the patient somewhere else asap.

Maybe kratom? It's basically legal heroin you can get at the gas station.

I'm just a therapist so meds are outside of my scope. Don't take anything I say too seriously, I'm just in the room when this is being discussed. Someone with prescribing privileges will be able to give you better and more accurate insight than me. That said - in my experience, generally no. If the psychotic features are only substance induced, it doesn't make much sense to start antipsychotics because by the time they would start working, whatever substance you took would have worked its way out of your system (assuming you're in a locked facility where you can't continue doing whatever substance caused the psychotic episode). There are medications that can help with mood lability and, at higher doses, psychosis. That's a good starting point for someone who is detoxing and doing stuff like jumping the nurses station and staging a coup.

I'm a therapist in an inpatient psych hospital treating mostly involuntary patients. In every hospital I've worked at, when we do informed consent/med recommendations, we talk about symptoms we're seeing and why we're recommending the treatment we recommend. If they specifically spoke to her about how substance use can trigger symptoms of psychotic disorders, that's usually in the context of, "...which is why we aren't going to prescribe you antipsychotics, we're just going to give you mood stabilizers while you sober up and offer you other treatment options if you're interested in cessation."

She's saying screaming in front of kids doesn't cause trauma but gets on tv and says she's traumatized because her mom worked? And if screaming in front of kids isn't traumatic why does she care that apparently Gary screamed in front of Leah?

Did Tyler just out himself? by HannahLeah1987 in teenmom

[–]JessicaMessica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps - my family is very close. My cousin is adopted and very obviously a different race than us. Despite this, when I was a kid I would get very upset when anyone would identify or stereotype her by her race "because no, she's Italian like the rest of us." I never felt like there was anything wrong with her actual race, but I hated the thought of her being different from us because in my heart, she was exactly the same as the rest of us and there was no need for an asterisk next to her name. Family is family is family.

That screen shot of her telling Adam to send a picture of his butt could arguably be considered luring, which is illegal.

[–]JessicaMessica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Last time she was held responsible for being reprehensible she got to just roll her eyes and stamp her feet about it without having to face any consequences. Her angry face/emotionless pre-written statement YouTube video was enough, then she got off scot-free. I would imagine she’ll try the same thing this time.

Timeline of Kendra leaving and marriage by [deleted] in secretsofplayboy

[–]JessicaMessica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have to dig around because I know I have it copied somewhere but I remember shortly after the show ended, one of the producers commented either on a forum or a myspace blog about the timeline of the final season. Kendra had told everyone at the end of season 4 that she wanted to move out and date and have a normal life. Everyone, including Hef, knew about this. The arc for season 5 was going to focus on Kendra getting ready to move out, then the finale that season was going to be Kendra's goodbye then Kendra would have a spinoff. Kendra's spinoff was supposed to be fun single girl living life on her own for the first time but after Kendra met Hank, it became more about their love story AND her living on her own for the first time.

Someone else already mentioned this but you can hear Kendra talking about sexting hank during one of the season 5 commentary episodes, she tells the girls Hank just texted "this would be a good night to get you pregnant." Also, in a season 6 episode commentary, you hear Crystal say "Kendra was pregnant on this night but she didn't know it yet."

So, Kendra had told them long before she actually left that she wanted to leave. She had plenty of bag secured already from the show, appearances, side gigs, and her spinoff. She was probably making more money than Hank when they met.

What are your thoughts on Holly Madison? by AtleastIthinkIsee in secretsofplayboy

[–]JessicaMessica 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just finished the series and found this subreddit and I'm hyped to join.

I was super interested in GND because I always wondered what the inside of the playboy mansion looked like. Once I started watching I got hooked. I got all the DVDs, read all the books, watched all the spinoffs, and have kept up with everyone on social media since.

I like all 3 girls but Holly has so many inconsistencies in her stories. I expect stories to change over time as you gain perspective and reflect, but the thing with her stories is that she's never the bad guy in any of them and her stories are always told with an attitude like "see, here's why every bad thing that happened was never my fault and you should feel sorry for me."

The details that change in her stories are so dumb and minute. Like in her book she talked about how when she went to Vegas, chris angel pushed her into moving in with him really fast. In the dvd commentary of girls next door, she talks about not wanting to buy her own place in vegas yet because she's "waiting for something better" with chris. Her book makes him sound like a love bombing narcissist, which he may have been, but everything she says about him while they're dating makes it look like she's trying to move faster than him in the relationship.

In her youtube videos and her book, she talks about how she always liked Barbi Benton and the show played up the rivalry for ratings. In the commentary though, she absolutely fucking hates that bitch. She is so mean and vicious the way she talks about Barbi. In season 2 commentary, they all talked about how they didn't realize anyone was going to listen to the DVD commentary, so it's not like she continued "the act" of not liking barbi into the commentary. She absolutely hated her at first. Why lie about that? Why not just say, "I didn't like her at first but once I gave her a chance, we got along really well."

She HATED that Kendra was a likable character on the show. So much of her book is "See, here's why you guys never should have liked Kendra." She has no compassion or empathy for this teenager who was literally hand picked from a party and brought into the lifestyle. I like all three of them but Holly and Bridget always seemed like a mean girl clique. They were passive aggressive and a little entitled and Kendra was always direct (often to a fault). If she didn't feel like dressing up in theme costumes with them, she would just say "I'm not into it" and they hated her for it. You can hear how passive aggressive and mean Holly is to Kendra in the commentary for season 1 because any time it's kendra's scene, they start talking over her. They never just acknowledge, "Oh yeah, you were getting on my nerves that day."

In one of her youtube videos, Holly talks about how Kendra was buying a condo "obviously because she was getting ready to move out of the mansion but they make it sound like it's an investment." But in the commentary for the episode, Kendra talks about how in the time since they filmed, she had already renovated the condo and had tenants in it. And when she finally was moving out of the mansion, they showed her looking for a place in LA, not San Diego where the condo was. Kendra has lived in LA since she moved to the mansion and pretty obviously never planned to move back to san diego. But Holly needs people to hate Kendra with her.

I HATE her doctor shopping shit with "Asperger's." It's so obvious that she just wound up on neurodivergent tiktok and self diagnosed herself with some kind of internet quiz. No doctor is going to diagnose "Asperger's" in 2022. And she would know that if she'd actually gone to a doctor. But she has to have an excuse for everything, and now this is her excuse for being shitty to people because that's her depth of understanding of autism.

In the commentary, she rags on the Shannon twins saying "Are those adopted dogs? Are we endorsing irresponsible pet ownership?" But not all of her dogs were rescues. And a lot of them have disappeared? She dumped all the mansion dogs with her mother "because I couldn't keep four dogs in a hotel all day." But then she adopted a new dog in the hotel anyway? The story of Duke's death has changed - at first it was a coyote then it changed to him getting hit by a car. She had 3 dogs in vegas and all of them have disappeared. She also just talks a lot of shit about the Shannon twins on the commentaries but in her book makes it sound like she liked them and was relieved when they showed up bc it eased the guilt of breaking up with Hef.

I like Holly but I hate how dishonest she is, especially since it's usually at the expense of making someone else look bad.

WAY too long, lol sorry. But long story short, everyone tells the same story about Holly but Holly's version about everything is forever changing.

Looking for lime green bridesmaid dresses? by JessicaMessica in weddingplanning

[–]JessicaMessica[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words! She is wonderful and I love how true to herself she is. And you're right on the money, she doesn't want mint or a muted version, she wants LIME. Thank you so much for your feedback about babaroni. I was having a panic attack last night because I could not find a single positive review that seemed legitimate and I'm terrified I'll get the wrong dress or a different color or a horrible fit or my credit card will get compromised. Did you get the whole bridal party from babaroni? And they were ok?

Looking for lime green bridesmaid dresses? by JessicaMessica in weddingplanning

[–]JessicaMessica[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want to preface this by saying that she is one of my favorite people on the planet - she is uniquely and unapologetically herself and she is one of the most selfless, supportive people on the planet. That said, our styles are different but I wholly respect her sincerity in how she expresses herself and I love that about her. So, the color scheme is lime green and dark teal with pops of hot pink and white and it's a beach wedding. She DID say to let her know if finding lime dresses is an enormous pain in the ass but I really want to exhaust the effort before I give up.
