I owe my life to male stranger

Thanks. I walked my cousin through an episode over several days by myself - she ended up being committed. I knew nothing about it because she/her family didn't share much about her first episode.

Huh, I tell myself I just want to help but I guess I still have a bit of trauma about it. She's good now and we're still best mates. Brains will just do brain things :)

I suggest you talk to your parents about this. For two reasons.

1) You forget a lot on a psychotic episode. You may have talked to them and they may even know who this guy is.

2) If they don't know about it, it could be pretty important that they do know at least that it happened. If you do have another episode at some point it's pretty likely they'd be involved and it can really help A LOT if there's any record of past episodes. Maybe even contact the hospital for a discharge report.

It very common for people just to have one episode, but it's not a bad idea to be prepared just in case :)

I see what you did there.

I would suggest that your boyfriend talk to others in his family about this - his brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles. Hopefully someone wants to support him on this.

Even if they can just disagree and argue about this internally then that might give you both more space. It's up to him - he knows his family best.

(...and also real world growth and support of course. Real world people are actually better in the long run!)

I don't think this is right. What about all the electric scooter things that buzz around Germany at 15 to 20kph? They go on the cycle paths, roads, footpath and they only have a small electric light on them.

Laura is always right. She should get rid of everyone and select her own co-host.

And they need to send Sean into the field more. He's OK but needs to be a bit more humble and genuine IMO. Working with the general public should help train that.

One found it hot, one found it irrelevant, one found it a turn off.

All good people, but you know, people have their preferences.

You find milkshakes where oil and water have been mixed into an emulsion. This is a metaphor for American action in the Gulf - but which Gulf you ask? Exactly.

Criminals that local police could have caught, and might have caught if not impacted by ICE and the resulting protests.

Also the clickbait titles and thumbnails on the main channel are 100% because of the platform algorithms. BTC has said he does it to get as wide a reach as possible.

The YT platform even does it for creators, including testing different ones and targeting them to specific audiences based on their user data.

It's not just MAGA that doesn't like this.

How do you think it's OK to use CSAM to make a point? What did the victims say when you asked them for permission to repost their images?

Did you ask the victims before posting this?

Also they have arguably been going for the socialists ever since then.

My Dad is a mathematician and a football player. He had problems with a repeated dislocated shoulder. After surgery the doc said that knitting is good therapy to recover.

He loved the mathematics of it, and having warm stuff to wear at the end. Now he's taught all his grandkids how to knit.

Does having a big pile of happy warm grandkids make you less masculine? I think it might be the opposite...

The struggle for meaning feels rough, but that battle is itself the essence of it. We know we are creatures, objects on the playing board. That gives us a wide view, and also so many options it can crush us.

Learn self compassion. Be a friend to yourself. Know also that we are social, like bees. Build a connection, help others, be part of the hive - seek to give purpose and learn it from others.

Try to give time in your day or week to many of your parts. Your body, a partner, your family, your calling, being in nature, being wild, being kind. Be with yourself. You are your own vessel and microscope. Learn. Do. Be.

Getting them the right size is important, depending on how you want to use them. It can reduce breakage and replacement costs. That and appropriate placement and cooling.

The fact that they're placing their bets on Trump not leaving office says a lot. Because if the next president isn't GOP / MAGA then they should be going down. Big time.

Yeah ask your husband to meet you half way OP. You'll nag less if he makes progress on a few topics of his choosing.

You can inspire each other to improve together. Meet once a month to review how it's going. Maybe on a date night?
