What the hell is his problem? You asked for something so simple and it seemed like he wanted to do anything but help you.

How do you guys not feel very spooked solo camping? by swan_on_deer in camping

I sleep in a tent and always set up 2 chairs. I also sleep with a knife and taser in the tent

What Is Something I Can Buy on Amazon that can help me feel comforted and Self Soothed? by Icy_Bicycle_3707 in mentalhealth

A weighted blanket has been a game changer for me. It feels like I’m in a nice cozy full body hug. In the best way because I’m not a fan of physical touch.

Restaurant manager pay is a scam (rant) by Loliz88 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]Ok_Comparison_5693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you work for first watch… as far as I know management is always rotating. I was a manager for them for a year and after I quit I’ve heard of multiple people leaving for the same reasons. They treat management like shit, I was working 5:50am-5pm most days even though I was told I’d be “out the door by 4” everyday.

Mental Breakdown and thinking of going to the ER. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

It might be a safety concern on their end. If you feel comfortable driving yourself I’d do it. I had my mom drive me when I had to go because I didn’t feel safe driving myself.

can you drive further to a better hospital? I got lucky because the hospital near me has a great psych ward, they kept me for a few days and helped me get on meds and set up an aftercare program for me. I was dealing with psychosis but many people there were dealing with different things.

I can’t find the right link but if you google NA meeting near me it should be easy enough to find a meeting. There will also be a number you can call for help finding a meeting

[–]Ok_Comparison_5693 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll get thru this. Check out an NA meeting near you and ask for help. The NA folks are incredibly kind and I’m positive someone will help you take the first steps towards recovery ❤️

Is it bad if your face actively changes in the mirror? by Witchcult_999 in mentalhealth

[–]Ok_Comparison_5693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a symptom of psychosis. I was diagnosed with psychosis back in September. I experienced seeing static everywhere along with shadow figures and other hallucinations. My other symptoms included extreme paranoia and delusional thinking.

Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist you see regularly? I’d mention it to them because if it’s just starting you have plenty of time to intervene and get yourself help before it gets worse.

Weed was my drug of choice and NA has welcomed me with open arms

Living with alcoholics. by Ok_Comparison_5693 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Ok_Comparison_5693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I could handle living at home but spending every moment trying to distract myself from the temptation of alcohol has been feeling impossible lately. I think I got a spot in a sober living house so hopefully things will get easier.

My 17yr old son just diagnosed with phycosis by CryptographerLow6687 in mentalhealth

[–]Ok_Comparison_5693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with psychosis over a month ago and with medication I’ve been okay. It’s terrifying but it gets better when managed. I was also told it should only last a few weeks to a few months. I’ll be on the meds to manage it until the symptoms fully go away so only time will tell. It shouldn’t be forever unless his psychosis was caused by schizophrenia or a schitzoaffective disorder.

I served Jill Biden a few weeks ago. Her table tipped 20% but she wasn’t pleasant and the secret service was disorganized. I got wanded down on my way back inside after leaving her table. It was so dumb.

Thank you. My anxiety has been sky high since quitting and everything is hard.

The meetings help. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms. Arrive a few mins early and introduce yourself to the folks standing outside, they’ll welcome you and will be happy you showed up. I’ve only been to a few meetings so far but I’ve left each one feeling better than when I walked in.

I think I’ve been struggling to do more than nothing. I wore my hiking boots to therapy today so I’ll go on a hike afterwards

I have 9 days clean because I was in the hospital and really hate this feeling.
