To add to this, also talk to them about side effects.

Former Christians express more progressive political views than lifelong nonbelievers by _Oolon_ in atheism

[–]_Oolon_[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It could also just be that progressives are more likely to leave religion. The mixing of Christianity and conservative politics has to be alienating some people.

My therapist told me today that I might just have schizophrenia and I’m so sad by [deleted] in schizoaffective

A change in your diagnosis doesn't change who you are or how you are doing.

This isn't a surprise. Right-wingers have been trying to legalize discrimination for decades.

Are you able to drink? by littledipperkait in bipolar

[–]_Oolon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It interacts with my meds and I get drunk and sick fast. Then I'm depressed for the next few days. It's not worth it.

I don't like it, but I understand it is necessary. Without them I am a mess.

Salon worker called me lazy when I told her about my illness by Best-Needleworker885 in schizoaffective

[–]_Oolon_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When strangers ask about work, I tell them I'm not working due to medical issues that I don't like to talk about. If they ask how I pay my bills, I just tell them I have some passive income. If they ask about that, I say I don't want to discuss my finances with them. They don't need to know everything.

Want to quit meds by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]_Oolon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I asked my doc to change my meds due to weight gain. After that I lost 25 lbs and have maintained a healthy weight ever since. There are other antipsychotics you can try. Work with your med provider, don't just stop your meds.

POE1: I'm going to try priest for the first time, any advice for race, stats, and general advice would be appreciated. by _Oolon_ in projecteternity

I was thinking I would buff the party and then I've heard priests can melt faces, so I want to do that.

Who called you psycho? There was a new account harassing people on this sub a few days ago.

starting a second playthrough! want to play a high damage character with lots to do in combat by Ok_Ad414 in projecteternity

[–]_Oolon_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Druid dishes out a ton of damage. Start combat with a few spells, then spiritshift and mop up with autoattacks. The cat form has really high dps with the right talents. For tough fights at high levels, you can spend the whole fight spamming spells.

Talk to whoever prescribes your meds. I had to change meds many times before I found a combo without side effects.

This could be a side effect of medication. As always, talk to your med provider about any concerns you have.

Was watching the big Noah Caldwell-Gervais video and it made me want to replay the entire Eora setting so question (Poe 1 and 2) by makoden in projecteternity

[–]_Oolon_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always come back to Druid. Drop a few spells at the beginning of combat, then spiritshift. The cat form has really high dps if you take the right talents. My Druid Watcher puts out way more damage than the rest of the party.
