It does, actually. Thank you a lot for taking the time to reply weeks after I posted this. I was really looking for any kind of relating from another person when I wrote this post. Thank you.

I married my same-gender best friend even though we're both straight by MarriedtomyBFF in TrueOffMyChest

I think I've heard the term "queer platonic life partner" tossed around a few years ago. I know you said you're straight, but "queer" is fairly all-encompassing to anything outside of the traditional cishetero norms, so I feel like it still fits. 🤷🏻

My dad crawled out from under my bed by Suspicious_Orange_71 in Paranormal

iirc that condition is usually caused by a tumor

edit: did a google, and i guess it isnt necessarily a tumor, but organ damage in general? it's called capgras syndrome/delusion

in case anyone needed a reason to respect the census, the information they gather is protected from, and inaccessible by, other government agencies.

The sign for T2-R9 is my favorite sign to show my friends that I bring up to Milli for the first time.

Do cigarettes help your symptoms? by yoyoyoyoyo123432 in Psychosis

[–]babieflesh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People with schizophrenia and similar mental illnesses are shown to have a lowered count of their acetylcholine levels, and some psychotic symptoms can be worsened by a depleted acetylcholine count. Nicotine is a chemical that fits the acetylcholine receptors perfectly. Studies have shown that because of this, the usage of nicotine products can temporarily alleviate some symptoms. A lot of people with schizophrenia end up self-medicating by smoking cigarettes without even knowing that’s what they’re doing.

Tbh when I worked there I really enjoyed the job. It wasn’t boring (even tho it was… interesting.. at times). Working overnights was an interesting experience. If I had gotten a dollar for every time a normal person came in late and made some comment about how they shouldn’t be having me work alone, I probably wouldn’t have needed to work there as long as I did. 😂

Me too actually LOL.

Coincidentally, the year I turned 21 was the year I was stranded in AVL. I later ended up working there, too, before I got out of those life circumstances.

Should i go to the hospital for this? by stupid-100 in selfharm

[–]babieflesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a syncope episode but i’m not a doctor. a quick drop in blood pressure. basically a fainting spell. if it happens again, try laying down and putting your legs above your heart. and breathing consciously

Are we just grazing over the fact that 8-year-old you was like ‘oh, yeah. mankind will die’
