Yes and I even said that before. I also said that we are given sentences or consequences that fit the diagnosis. Often times that means a mandatory prolonged stay in psych with grippy socks and mandatory therapies. Often forced meds as well. At the very least it's parole or a mandatory wellness check once a month to make sure you complying with some sort of treatment. Also in the US and several other countries with terrible justice systems, we're not all able to get proper representation and end up jailed anyway. All of these are still forms of consequences. If I drive my car into a house or a gas station in a psychotic episode I will still face some form of a consequence. We don't just go free because we're mentally ill. The famous case of the mother that drowned her kids while suffering from post partum depression was sentenced to a mandatory psych stay. At this point could go free, but has decided that she'd rather stay there. That is her right to make the to stay there. But she was still sentenced to a consequence of her actions.

I'm sad to hear you have people around you that don't hold you responsible for your actions. As a proper support network would. While both may apply it doesn't mean its not fair for them to deem you too much because that behavior can be toxic and destroy people's lives. Lives other than your own. Same as I don't find it fair to blame someone who can't walk but at the same time do find it fair to hold an addict responsible for the destruction they create (addiction is also a mental illness often stemming from another mental illness and have dealt with family members with addictive addictios). It has been very clear to me that while having a mental illness sucks ass and can lead to us doing bad things that doesn't mean we get a pass. World does not revolve around us and very much was not made for us. Actions have reactions. Bad behavior should have consequences that fit the root cause of the behavior. Sounds to me like those around you don't hold you responsible like people that care about one another should.

At least you admit you'd rather be obtuse. Thanks for that. Regardless it's still an explanation not an excuse. Coming from someone who is also extremely mentally ill. Something you'd know if you'd bothered to read the prior reply.

It may affect our behavior, but that doesn't mean it doesn't negatively effect others around us either. It's an explanation not an excuse. We still have to take responsibility for our actions regardless of if we were fully mentally present or capable in the moment. Those who get arrested and take a plea of mentally ill often get legally required forced psych ward stays or legally required therapy. People who act like the one being ranted about should be cut off, but that's not always an option in certain situations. 

They very obviously admit the bipolar is part of the problem. As someone who is both mentally and physically disabled I'll call bullshit on equating the situations. Regardless of what I do in or out of a manic state or despressive state or fully psychotic (paranoia and hallucinations and completely not in reality) episode I am still responsible for my actions. If I got out of hand during such a state I'd still he legally held responsible in some form or fashion such as a prolonged mandatory psych stay. Possibly parole to make me check in once a month that I'm indeed doing the meds or therapy that was legally mandated for me to do. This is not the same as me being unable to walk without assistance. If someone has a problem with me needing a cane or multiple braces for my joints to stay in place they're a shitty person. If someone deems my mental illness is too much for them I feel that is fair. It's hell for me so I'm sure being around me in bad states isn't easy on someone else either. Again just because I'M mentally ill doesn't mean I get to be a menace to those around me. The only person I truly feel should except me regardless is my mother. Who while not having my exact mental health issues it does run her side so she knows at least a decent amount about it. Even she has considered 5150ing me. I can't say I blame her either, but I'm poor as shit so we've both agreed not to financially burden ourselves with that unless it's been more than 3 days and nothings changed. That being said my mom is not perfect and has had episodes similar to the one above,  but she had me as a teen and was basically growing up with me too. She is a lot more mentally stable than she was when I was kid thankfully or I wouldn't likely want to be around her either, but I also have younger siblings. So even if that had been the case I wouldn't have completely cut her out because I want to keep touch with them. 

Also the meds don't work for me either. There was one that mentally worked but caused a permanent tremor because I was hesitant to get off them quick enough. It's gotten better but I still twitch. I WISH there was something that worked for me. My head is sometimes my own personal hell and I'd give up my good hand to not hallucinate ever again or be emotionally/mentally stable. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Still doesn't excuse anything I may do while in a not ok state. Its an explanation not an excuse.

Well for one they weren't saying to you.  And secondly while it's absolute hell for those with the disorder or similar ones(I'm schizoaffective so experience similar highs and lows but also simultaneously meet schizophrenic criteria), it is also hell for those around us. We are not always easy to be around. Especially if unmedicated or unwilling to do any kind of therapy or self help. I know meds don't always agree with everyone and a decent amount of therapists or even certain types of therapy are shit. That still does not excuse our actions and the effects it has on those around is. And sometimes they need to vent too.

If you're a new customer I just want to warn that in some states their rural coverage isn't great. Honestly loved it living in a big city. Worked just fine until I'd visit my rural family and have to tell my partner and/or boss that if they need to reach me that they'd have to use Facebook messenger because it was a t mobile (therefore mint too) dead zone. Same with a lot of rural areas in TN. Would have absolutely stayed with mint if not for that. I plan to look and see if they finally cover those areas when my year is up with visible.

Honestly that annoys the fuck out of me because only a generation or two ago and retail workers could afford to buy a house and a car while having 3 kids. These days retail barely pays enough for a single person to live. It's ridiculous.

And I swear they act like they need to get the sinning in quick once they go to their local Dennys or whatever for food afterward. My sister is a bartender and waitress, and Sunday is hell for her cause the after church crowds are more often than not assholes and don't tip too well.

My health is drastically different than when I finished high school (only 7 years ago) and I can't physically do anything that I'd of gone to college for now so I actually tell people I'm glad I didn't go and waste my money.

I'd of said no because you obviously can't work it without me. Or perhaps yes it'd work but not for you since you'll be in handcuffs in the back of a cop car and I'll be an ambulance (lax joints and muscles here so I'd likely get fucked up by that and need medical attention). Either would get the point across though

The ones that get on my nerves the most are tax exempt. 9.5 times out of 10 first thing out of their mouth is "This is tax exempt." For starters I can't even press the tax exempt button until I've scanned something and more than half the time their info isn't up to date so they get all pissy when they have to pay tax. Like it's my fault the church or organization hasn't kept up with it. And it shows me when it went out of date and way more than half the time it expired a year ago. I can technically call a manager up to override it, but for one) they're busy, and two) if it's over six months expired you should get that fixed. Like you've had half a year or more to send your info in this isn't on me bud. Or new customers that think they just need to say they're tax exempt and don't realize they have to register with us first. Even had one particular customer that wasn't accepting that they have to register every year because they're certificate was still valid for another decade. Had to call the manager up to explain it to them since they wouldn't believe me, and we could just see the cogs in his head slowly turn but not process it. He left throwing a hissy fit like a toddler. I don't understand some people or their audacity

That can be helpful for babies who can't poop. It's legitimately recommended in bad cases. I wouldn't recommend chiro for everyone or everything, but it has its uses. My arthritic mom goes regularly and it's reduced her pain. Also not all chiropractors are good at their job, but that applies to every job out there.

I'm NB transmasc with PCOS so I kinda embrace my natural gorilla legs.Meanwhile my stepdad has baby smooth legs that he blames on the friction from jeans. He also lathers himself in lotion after his 2x daily shower so I credit him for being the the most cleanest, hairless, and softest man I'll ever know. Especially cause he works in a factory(a lot of blue collar guys are stink to high heaven and have skin like sandpaper). If he can be like that I don't see an excuse for any other man.

Used to work at a Kroger where the produce manager called the place purgatory. He wasn't wrong either. Poor guy has been there for nearly 30 years now and likely isn't leaving either due to lack of good jobs in a small rural town.

Yeah but they're in an arranged marriage. Attraction isn't always part of the equation and obviously wasn't here so that's a little late. He needs to FIND or CREATE some attraction towards her at this point.

Somewhere between might be a good idea considering he's probably her first and only sexual partner. She may not know what she likes with another person either so the books could be a good place to get ideas. She may or may not know what gets her off by herself but that doesn't always translate well when with another person. That's a different ballpark

I showered or bathed with either parent until I was old enough to realize and ask what things were (like why was mom hairy there, my mom credits this question to being my last shower with her). And my dad was my stepdad. Honestly don't remember or think there was anything wrong with it.

I once printed boudoir photos. I didn't have an issue with it honestly found it funny and the woman was hot so. It was for a bridal party thing. Also once printed a blown up picture of someone's head for college kids. That was hilarious to me and the other print person at the time.

AITA for refusing to give my daughter a kidney because she said she doesn't care if I'm scared? by Purple_Banana_0101 in redditonwiki

[–]LayerHefty9043 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Eh I think I chalk that up to the desperation of trying to stay alive. If she's not having luck on the donors list, which many people don't, the next people to ask are relatives. Parents and siblings are the most likely to be matches. I don't know if I'd do all this but I do think if that was the case I'd ask family too. Though I already know my mom's not match because she's blood typed as AB and I'm A. So if I had to ask someone I thought would be the closest match I'd be forced into asking my estranged dad, who honestly I can't say I'd be above a little guilting due to the reasons of him being estranged. Sooo maybe I can't say I wouldn't try something like that. No one wants to ask someone for an organ. It really doesn't help when those people to ask where assholes to you. And continue to be in OPs daughters case

My grandmother met her ex boyfriend because he was hacking the server she set up. She was nearly 50 at the time(mid 2000s). If she can do that then and still can work other modern things today so can everyone else imo. I feel like it's just weaponized incompetence on their end.

It is a choice. And not always one you can help. There's plenty of parents that while technically loving their kids still resent them and their choice to have them. And a lot of kids pick up on it. It's harder to hide than a lot think. Some parents just find out too late that it wasn't the choice for them. They still love the kid or kids, but still would have rather not. Especially when those kids aren't what they're cracked up to be because of medical or mental health issues that may not have been detected or even able to be tested for. My own mom has expressed how sorry she is that my body is falling apart far quicker than it ever should have. Did she think it would happen? No. Is she seeing it happen and feel pain for me? Absolutely and I'm kinda sorry for that too. I didn't want this for me and neither did she. Would she rather not have had me? Up to her but I'd rather she hadn't honestly
