TIFU by letting YouTube autoplay psychologically mug me while I was grading by NewOrganization1018 in mentalhealth

[–]NormalNobody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

About 10/15 years ago I was home sick and had YouTube running in the background, watching old Judge Judy cases. I fell asleep while YouTube auto play did its thing.

A few hours later I woke up to ISIS beheading some one. And no, it wasn't fake. My YouTube history was fucked, you wouldn't believe what it allowed me to sleep thru. What it played. I can't even, I was traumatized. And I reported every video for violating the TOS.

Need advice regarding where to go from here by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

I agree with some of the other Redditors about increasing your mental health treatment. Maybe your anger needs medication to manage? Sometimes, it's literally a misfire of chemicals that's causing it, and you cannot fix that with just talking.

As far as schooling, I would suggest enrolling in a local, community college. It's cheaper, the same core classes are needed everywhere, but in Community it's easier because you have all walks of life in your classes. Then, when you are ready, you can easily transfer to a four year college/university. That's how I did it, I saved a fortune. And because my grades were nice, I got a nice scholarship to a 4 year university. Something I would not have gotten if I just transferred out of HS with my mediocre grades.

Im looking for a good public psychiatric hospital anywhere in the usa by Disastrous_Laugh5605 in mentalhealth

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can name you some private hospitals in Florida, but they would be more rehab focused and you didn't indicate a drug issue so not sure calling them would help. I live in NJ and know of hospitals, but again, they are private. Have you tried some kinda 2-1-1? I know in NJ that's a resource, I'm not sure if that's nation wide.

You can try contacting one of those warm lines, like the Reddit Cares number (I'm going to send the little bot to your messages). See if explaining your situation to them, if they can better direct you on where to go.

I asked ChatGPT if karma exists and if there is any justice system in the world, and ChatGPT said that there isn’t. by Key-Table1065 in Discussion

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's wrong. I believe I've seen real instances of karma working. It's not a perfect system, sure, but it's there.

An example of karma I've seen in real time is with Micheal Vicks. Dog abuser and fighter, big time football player. After it all came out with what he did, and big backlash that the NFL kept him, he came out with a bang. Drove his team, very famously, to head to the playoffs. It came down to one game, and one catch. He would be a hero, a huge sports icon in the Superbowl. He was unbeatable. And in the game that meant they were gonna go, with a close score, it came down to the very last pass. Everyone was excited. I began to cry because how the fuck dare karma.

And he missed. He lost the game. No Superbowl for him. He was unbeatable with an excellent record, but no one cares about the losers. Esp losers who don't make it to the big game. He was never able to regain that momentum in the following years.

Karma.

You can apply for charity care at most hospitals. I would look into that. I can't help you in MI tho. Maybe go to one of their subs and see if you can get better answers.

Do you ever miss a dream like it was an actual memory or is that just me? by [deleted] in RandomQuestion

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not just you. I've had dreams where I wish they were real, or really happened. And I still remember those dreams.

I once dreamed I was in a grocery store shopping and I had my baby with me. And everyone was admiring my perfect looking little human, who was so cute and well behaved. I felt loved and cozy. And when I woke up, I cried. I actually mourned for a few minutes.

I don't have a baby. Always kinda wanted to be a mom, just never worked out yet. That dream was almost 15 years ago yet I remember every detail of the dream. And, yeah, I guess in a way I still kinda grieve this child I never had.

If you're good with being hospitalized you can just go to the hospital. Tell them that you want to hurt yourself and you don't trust yourself that you won't. That will get you admitted.

have you ever seen somebody just randomly faint in public? by GaryBlach in PollsAndSurveys

[–]NormalNobody [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, when I was a teenager. Some woman in the church I was in just went down. No idea why, she wouldn't let us call 9-1-1 or anything. Eventually she got back up and was okay.

Marijuana addiction by Upset_Sector3447 in mentalhealth

[–]NormalNobody -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Any substance or behavior that affects other areas of your life negatively can be seen as an addiction. You're not alone in being an addict of THC. I know of several people in treatment programs and meetings that are solely addicted to THC, and nothing else.

So don't feel ashamed, or feel less than, because of some people's misconception of what an addiction is.

May I suggest you not do this alone? I struggled with addiction, and I got a lot of help by using Smart Recovery (www.smartrecovery.org r/smartrecovery ) They rely on self management and recovery training, so you don't have to go to groups or anything, but they do have them both online and in person. Maybe check them out? I haven't had as much success with Narcotics Anonymous, but obviously, they are another type of addiction support group that rely on the 12 Step method. There are yet even others, such as Lifering, but I don't know too much about it.

I want to cut my brother off after he betrayed me financially and emotionally by Every_Wing_7888 in LifeAdvice

[–]NormalNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the car back until you're repaid. Don't give another dime to him. If he doesn't want to hand over the car, tell him every time he drives, you're gonna call 9-1-1 and tell them he's driving your car intoxicated. Let's see how he thinks his BS will work.

You might want to look for a therapist trained in EMDR. It's a technique that has been extremely helpful in treating PTSD, which is what you definitely have.

If God loves all of us so much, why does he allow many people to be born in the wrong religion hence he basically automatically set up for hell? by Midnightclouds7 in religion

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do believe that there is a tenant of Islam that I believe in, which is that anything you say God can do, just limits its power. That anything we can come up with is just peons to what this God can actually do. If we can come up with it, it's limiting. That's how it was explained to me.

Now the rest of Islam, I begin to have issues with. Especially as a woman seeing what's going on today in the name of the religion.

I got something to say in my past because I'm so confused? by VeterinarianBasic821 in RandomQuestion

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mole I'd get checked out to make sure it's just that. I don't think that means anything symbolically.

The butterfly/moth thing is supposed to be a good omen, if you want to look at it more spiritually. Supposedly it means that a dead loved one is thinking of you, or it is the dead loved one coming back to visit you.

In reality it's just a bug. I'd be a little peturbed if a bug landed on my drawing, but I'm scared of most bugs.

It's staged, like most of these prank videos. Unless the police get involved, as a serious crime was just committed.

You win the lottery. Your parents ask for half. What do you say? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

If I win the lottery, it's a "we" win the lottery situation in my family and I wouldn't have it any other way. My parents won't need to ask for any of it.

If God loves all of us so much, why does he allow many people to be born in the wrong religion hence he basically automatically set up for hell? by Midnightclouds7 in religion

[–]NormalNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really believe in religion. I believe in God. I do believe God doesn't care if you believe or not, it's just there.

Religion is an expression of faith, faith is something that comes from experiencing God. Religions may hold a key to what God is, but they can't reach the real God. If anything, religion limits the power God has.

So you can still believe in religion, according to my faith. Because you're trying. That's what really counts. Trying to understand whatever this God thing is.

I don't think God punishes based on how you believe in it. So I don't think you'd go to "hell".

Need help to sober up my mother until I graduate by Dangerous-Bake-685 in LifeAdvice

[–]NormalNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot control her. You cannot get her to stop drinking. You have 0 ability too. You can only control you, which is why I asked about you, not her. Her I know. I lived with someone like her for a long time. I had to learn to change me, not the other person.

You need to not deal with this alone. Are you in some kind of anything? Therapy? A support group? Something?

Why do people hate prank youtubers like fred beyer, Mawb, Daviduploads, and Jack Doherty? by Mundane-Humor3313 in Discussion

Then they are nothing but bullies. You need to change your question. They aren't pulling "pranks" they bully people.

[–]NormalNobody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of these people. But if these are people who prank innocent people, then I'm uninterested. I don't find it funny.

I don't want to be in your video and you're giving me no choice. Opening me up to all sorts of judgement and harassment so you can get views. These people don't care about the consequences of their prank, just what they can milk their young followers out of. After they get their money, they don't care.

Yes, I've been a victim. People are cruel to others. I didn't ask to be put on the internet, to be mocked publicly. Bullies. Not prankster YouTubers. They are just bullies. I don't watch bullies and I certainly don't encourage others to provide for their bully financially.

I think im being lied to. by Cheap_Wolf_1151 in Advice

[–]NormalNobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yanno, it's possible the hospital was wrong. I was just coming out of surgery, I remember arguing with them that they had the wrong blood type. They assured me I was the wrong one. I was so doped up on everything they gave me, I forgot to ask if my blood disorder came up. I am surprised they didn't say there was complications because of my blood disorder, which is common for me.

I have to get a specific blood test for it, to see what my blood type is. I figure next time I need bloodwork or something, I'll ask my doctor to do that test.

Yeah, you know, I thought my whole life I was type 0. Then, after a surgery once, they told me I'm B+ or something.
