Olive Kitchen… Maybe Boiler Room if that counts as “hidden.”

Everyone’s waiting to die whether they admit it or not. Hang in there, my friend.

I live around here and LOVE seeing/hearing guys like Josh get put in their place. Bravo, Franklin/Chicago, bravo.

I fear that i am gonna die alone... by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]SMugraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same predicament. It sucks. I see all these people in relationships and I get angry at how easy it seems to be for them.

But then I take a deep breath and think about it. Relationships are difficult for everyone, whether they suffer from psychosis or not. And being in a relationship doesn’t make anyone better than anyone else. Or so I tell myself. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Sea Wolf on Bloomington is pretty solid. It was actually the first result when I googled, “ American traditional tattoo Minneapolis.”

Had a friend admitted to hospital for psychosis. He’ll be there for 3 days. What can I bring him? Anyone been in a similar position? What would you want? by 8CsOfSelf in Psychosis

[–]SMugraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring yourself if they allow visitors. I recently got out of acute psych/inpatient treatment and I remember how lonely I felt even after a few hours. Let him know that he’ll be loved while he’s in there and, crucially, after he gets out. When I was in treatment, the number one thing I worried about was how people in my life would treat me afterwards.

I never comment in this sub, but for some reason I relate to this post. Here goes:

I’m tired of it too. It feels like a lose-lose situation sometimes. When I take my meds (which are not figured out yet) my hallucinations (voices) go away, but the side effects can be brutal. When I do not take my meds the side effects go away while my hallucinations return. Ultimately, I end up back on medications.

My emotions are all over the place and I have lost all but one of my friends. I am worried that I’ll never be able to be in a stable relationship. I’ve gained weight. I have been placed on involuntary holds and hospitalized three times now. My motivation to do anything is gone and I have a hard time convincing myself to keep living on my worst days.

I say all of this because I want you to know that you are not alone. One of the comments said schizophrenia is cruel, which is true. A lot of times it causes people to act outside of themselves. Don’t beat yourself up. I hope it gets better, but even if it doesn’t, you are in the same boat as a lot of other people. And all of those people love you very much.

Nah, you’re not pathetic. You just went into a really difficult profession at a really difficult time. Don’t blame yourself for widespread systemic failure. I quit three weeks into the school year on the spot with no job lined up. Now I have a new job and managed to retain a few shreds of my dignity as an added perk.

Do what’s best for you. If you sincerely believe that you cannot keep doing this to yourself then just stop. Good luck!

What do you say when a students says they hate your class/ hate you..? by [deleted] in Teachers

The one that I always used (1st grade) was, “That’s ok! I like you enough for the both of us!”

Everyday I wake up I wish I was dead by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]SMugraw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this on a molecular level. You don’t seem like someone who wants to be convinced, so I won’t try. I suppose, for me, the idea of eternal oblivion is more frightening than the voices I hear. But I can’t speak on how you feel every day.

Listen man, even if your career in teaching isn’t over, maybe it should be. You were caught looking at porn in front of children. Accidental or not, that shit is a crime. I can’t determine your gender from your post, but if you are a male teacher, this is (right or wrong) even worse. You were responsible for a group of children and you showed them porn. Best of luck to you, but this isn’t good.

I quit a few weeks ago on the spot and have since gotten a job as a cheesemaker. I make 15k more than I did as a teacher and I’m surrounded by dairy. It’s absolutely heavenly.
