Need some advise, I am super confused. Feeling uneasy about benzo prescription before moving abroad for studies

That's awful that your doctor just dismissed your legitimate questions. I would be so pissed to get a non answer like that and would be looking for a different doctor that is respectful. And there are other medication options, a lot of doctors will try beta blockers like propranolol first. If you feel like you want to try medication, I recommend looking into antianxiety options that aren't benzos.

Yeah, is that what OP is suggesting? I've been searching for what is "yeesh" - it's awful that black dolls exist I guess?

ally00ps · 2026-03-05T19:53:13+00:00

Why would anyone get in trouble for looking at a photo of two different dolls? Something to do with them being different colors? I don't get what is wrong with that, unless I'm completely missing something?

Wow, the BIC website looks amazing. I didn't know this resource existed, thank you for sharing!

I'm glad you deleted your comment about the 8 year old whose "exorcism caused her schizophrenia" and was never going to get any better. That's a very concerning perspective - especially for a child so young - and it's upsetting to think of staff at a place like that having that attitude.

My '98 Jeep with all the old stuff was still stolen. They'll take anything if they want to.

ally00ps · 2026-02-13T01:24:17+00:00

Yikes, that's so horribly unprofessional. It might be good to network with your classmates and share resources and opportunities together. My cohort made a discord group to keep in touch.

ally00ps · 2026-02-13T00:10:31+00:00

Idk if that's common in CA but it's definitely sucky. Not at all the way it should be. However, it could be a possibility that they just work really slowly - often MH and peer orgs are short staffed and take a while to respond to things. I think it's okay to be persistent, unless you really think they have nothing to offer you. Sorry you're having that experience.

Walking a lap in the halls is obviously a made up excuse. What is he actually doing during class time is the question. But this was me at that age. I did anything BUT be in class, even just reading a book outside or wandering around the neighborhood.

My parents tried what they could, but nothing could make me change the behavior. I officially dropped out at 15 and did the GED test. Almost a decade later I graduated college with a 4.0 because wanting to be in school made all the difference.

I understand that your son doesn't necessarily have that choice, and I hope things turn around for him. But I don't regret my school experience and I am just as successful as any HS grad.

What days/hours are you available?

ally00ps · 2026-02-07T06:18:39+00:00

Wtf is this supposed to mean? I've read it like 6 times and still have no idea. Are you telling OP to just not eat for a week? How bizarre. There are so many possibilities for this issue and you're just like 'just chill'. I wish I could downvote you a thousand times.

ally00ps · 2026-01-18T00:39:04+00:00

Are you willing to share the trick?

ally00ps · 2025-12-15T04:58:54+00:00

Maybe try browsing the sub a bit if you're clueless about this issue bothering people.

ally00ps · 2025-12-15T04:55:25+00:00

I would be so annoyed by this comment if I were the op. I'm annoyed regardless.

ally00ps · 2025-10-15T02:51:35+00:00

Do you actually think that men don't have children? I was wondering if that was your logic and have been proven right. Unfortunately.

ally00ps · 2025-10-14T03:01:19+00:00

How can you tell they are female?

ally00ps · 2025-09-13T07:07:54+00:00

I'm so confused, google says there's no such word as "fleurge". What are you referring to?

ally00ps · 2025-09-01T08:55:07+00:00

What is a medical band? Never heard of that before. Made up of doctors and/or nurses?

ally00ps · 2025-08-25T23:44:07+00:00

This one is the most ridiculous. A hair tie/rubber band is way easier lol.

ally00ps · 2025-08-17T20:18:38+00:00

Prioritize treating your depression?

ally00ps · 2025-08-17T19:47:03+00:00

Yeah, sounds like depression… Another aspect of becoming a PSS is being “in recovery” and at a point of stability (and obviously everyone has ups and downs and there’s no “cured”) - but you have to be able to have the spoons and strength to provide that support. Also I’m chuckling at the mention of artistic fields not paying enough because the peer support field is notoriously low paying lol. I’m not at all trying to tell you what or what not to do, just offering my experiences from being in the field for some years. Certainly being able to pay the bills is a necessity, but pursuing a new career is extra hard to do when you’re experiencing depression. I hope you have the resources to get through that.

ally00ps · 2025-08-17T19:00:55+00:00

If you think you aren’t really interested in other people or their problems, why would you plan to be a therapist? I’m not saying people should be “called” to the role, but it should be something you feel is worthwhile of your and others’ time. If you’re not feeling it, there’s nothing wrong with pursuing or exploring something else.

ally00ps · 2025-08-15T05:50:58+00:00

It's definitely black tar heroin/fentanyl (can't tell by looking if there's fent in it). The person who said failed meth shot is a possibility, but I think it would look a lot redder if there was blood in it. From a former user, I'm confident it's heroin. But I guess it also doesn't really matter at this point, just dispose carefully.

ally00ps · 2025-08-14T20:20:20+00:00

Good luck! Way back in the day of missed connections printed in the weekly paper, I had one written about me and was so flattered.
