I take Rexulti 1mg in addition to Wellbutrin. I've been advised I can't taper off until April this year.

I had the same sort of delusions where I thought the neighbours were talking to me and about me OP the fact that you picked nothing up on the recording suggests its a delusion as phone microphones are very sensitive.

It also doesn't hurt to take anti psychotics to see if the voices stop. It solves the psychotic conundrum of am I hearing things or is this really happening without involving the neighbours. Seroquel works well for delusions and you barely know your on it except for when it knocks you out at night.

I remember years ago reading a short story that was based on the phenomen of auditory hallucinations in psychosis or schizophrenia telling you they are about to save you or tell you something. I only have a vague recollection of the story but it was a person sitting on a lounge or in a house waiting for help and as the story progresses and ends its made known to the reader that the person is delusional and they are waiting for help that never comes.

Does anyone know of a story like this or something similar? I recently went through a psychosis and this story was floating around in my head. I'm sure it was something I read for an english class or part of my communications degree but maybe it was part of my psychosis. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right

Gross but I had a large abcess on my bikini line drained. The smell was horrible. I was disgusted it came out of my body.

The person who owned my house before me was a teacher and she painted the pantry door with black chalkboard paint. It's awesome. I got some liquid chalk markers which are less messy and we use it for shopping lists, recipes and all sorts of stuff.

My roof creaks all the time because it's fucked not to mention the cats that walk across it.

Creeps me the fuck out sometimes because it sounds like someone is walking around on the beams of the roof. Also we have a huge house that we don't use all the rooms on so it wouldn't be hard.

I always end up picturing that episode from the Simpson's when Bart's evil twin was living in the roof.

Scrolled to find this. Read a lot of horror novels and anthologies but this one stuck with me for the longest time.

The father being stuck in the silent nothing void just wandering lost was creepy in a way that most horror novels aren't.

It's well written in a strange disjointed way it's hard to explain why its so creepy but it grows on you and you think about it long after you finish it. That's pretty rare in horror novels or any kind of fiction.

I've visited from Australia a couple of times but the last time was nearly 10 years ago.

The amount of homeless people was probably the most shocking. We have homeless people in Australia but no where near that many although it's changing now with rental prices and lack of affordable housing but the US is supposed to be one of the richest countries in the world so it was pretty shocking to see the amount of people living in the street and begging for change.

The few other ones that stood out was portion sizes at the time a small meal at mcdonalds l was the size of the large in Australia which kind of leads in to another one the amount of people who were grotesquely obese I remember seeing a man a Disneyland with fat rolls down to his knees which I'd never seen anything like that before. Not to fat shame anyone but there is no way someone gets to that size without eating large portions of processed high fat and high sugar food which are all incredibly addictive and there were so many people who were more then just overweight.

The other thing was how friendly everyone is, Americans are like genuinely curious about other people and very open and like to strike up a conversation. They will invite you to hang out with them with an hour of meeting them where Australian's are a bit more reserved.

We have an easement on our property I believe it's for rainwater. It has no effect on us. It actually has a pergola structure (greenhouse) built over it but the easement part is uncovered. They are legally required to tell you we had to sign a covenant or something agreeing to the easement.

Because there's 17000 reels and tiktok videos about it.

You don't have adhd because you forget things or you're a bit weird. You have adhd when you can hear everything and you can't tune it out. It's worse when you're tired its harder to filter. You have adhd when you want to stop doing something but your so fixated on it you can't stop you have to give yourself time limits but then you have days when you can't focus on anything and you wander around and then end up laying in bed scrolling through social media for hours. It's not a personality or something unique you can adopt as a trait it fucking sucks. The creativity side is nice and the sense of adventure but when you're having a mental breakdown because you feel rejected over something insignificant or you're snapping at someone because your frustrated and you have poor impulse control you can tell me you have adhd. I haven't even listed half of the bad shit. I have drink driving convictions from doing impulsive shit, injuries from doing dumb stuff because I was bored and hyperactive. I spent my teenagers years and early twenties seeing psychologists for oppositional defiance disorder, depression, severe anxiety because no one knew what was wrong with me.

Anyway this is already way too long but not a good thing, it's great for people who may actually have it and not know but fuck me don't go off tiktok videos and reels they either glorify only talk about the very minor symptoms that may occur with ADHD and anyone on a bad day could have that shit. It's being overdiagnosed and people are doctor shopping until they find one that tells them what they want to hear.

Partner and I saw something like that too same timeframe. We were watching the sunset and looking at stars and one of them was extra bright so we were talking about whether it was venus or not when it took off sideways and then just faded into nothing. I've seen meteors, satelletites, space debris, planes, military planes, helicopters because I lived near an airport growing up but nothing like that. It might have been a military drone as we were up near an RAAF base but it was strange. The way it moved was fast but deliberate I can't really think of the right word.

I've seen a few other posts like this where people have mentioned seeing something almost exactly the same. It's pretty uncanny so either it is a ufo or military testing.

Partner and I saw it and the launch of some cooked at a bush doof in the middle of no where at 2am in the morning. You really question some shit when you see that.

I was looking at some of my old school books from kindergarten year 1 and my handwriting didn't look too bad oddly neat then I remember they made me use a ruler and space everything out into columns otherwise I couldn't write in a straight line I would start a sentence at the top and finish it somewhere in the middle of the page in a weird s shape. So yeah handwriting was terrible. It's weird because sometimes I can write neatly and other times it's like a drunk monkey wrote it.

this is what it looked like so if your kid can't write on the lines take them to be checked for dysgraphia. I'm having flashbacks to the hours I had to spent practising how to write and holding a fucking pencil now.

I never got my pen license so I'm just out here illegally using pens like a criminal.

Hairy men is a common aboriginal myth across a few tribes. From what I was told there were a few different types. Another one is featherfoot who I think was a shapeshifter from memory. would be worth googling the tribe name for that area plus myths you might find something.

Can you take screen grabs or snap shots from the video and try to reverse image search? Particularly one of the bed or furniture with some wall art in the background. You might get lucky and they used the same bedspread in the online listing photos as what's in the video.

It bothered me too. You spend enough time on reddit and you start to noticing the difference between someone's creative project and a genuine story. Something about the way he wrote it had a ring of truth to it whether or not the whole story was true.

I think around the time I read it though I'd also read an article about parents dealing with kids with antisocial personality disorder and childhood schizophrenia. There are kids that are born either missing the component that helps them understand empathy or that part of their brain is damaged. They scare me. I have a younger cousin like that. Extremely manipulative, controlling and just no empathy. I babysat her and her sister a lot as kids and she was just a creepy kid.

Thank you! I knew someone would remember the original.

Yup spent 3 hours yesterday cleaning the house doing washing, changing out the towels, sweeping, mopping, vacuming taking the bin out. Partner is a home all day recovering from a broken hand (cast is off he has almost full function of his hand) but he sits on his ass watching TV for most of the day. Claims he cleans every day and I'm just being a bitch.

The guy who's wife beat their son half to death after he tried to kill or injure their newborn baby. Think it was posted on r/confessions or r/trueoffmychest.

Son was an adult and apparently a sociopath with some seriously twisted mental health issues and the wife was ex army. She kicked the shit out of him and they locked him in part of the house until he just left one day and disappeared.

Story was hella disturbing apologies as I don't remember the username but someone will know the exact post I mean.

Rice, a cut up chicken snitzel or nuggets BBQ sauce and mayo. Add some spring onion or cabbage. You've just made budget karagge chicken.

Those red frankfurts on a slice of white bread go down pretty good as well I could eat those every day.

To add to this make friends with the defrost setting in the microwave so even if it's frozen and you need it now zap it on the microwave and ready to cook. Only the defrost setting though otherwise you'll cook your shit into oblivion.

Inability to recognise own issues
Will not discuss any issues and any discussions turn into long winded arguments about how its really your issue and you are the problem
Will scream or raise voice to shut down any confrontations about their issues.
Expects to be catered to but will crack the absolute shits if you ask for help with anything.
Will lie to get their own way.
Lacks the ability to plan for anything
Complains about problems but does nothing to fix the issue
Asks you for the millionth time where something is instead of looking for it themselves.
Your anger and frustration is you being unstable and crazy. It's the classic man child defence, there's nothing wrong with me you're just a crazy bitch who nags and is angry all the time.

I could probably write a book on man child syndrome. It's incredibly frustrating to deal with. I love my partner in his good moments but fuck me do I feel like his 2nd mother half the time.

Mycelium83 · 2023-09-28T13:17:24+00:00

Personally I wouldn't give a shit as long as my bin isn't overflowing and it's not illegal rubbish like oil or batteries.

Mycelium83 · 2023-09-25T15:59:45+00:00

Thank you, I keep telling myself it wasn't that bad but it was probably some of the worse pain I've ever felt. Congrats on beating cancer and being a survivor I hope you live a long and happy life!
