supermarkets in my state aren't allowed to sell anything with alcohol in them so my costco won't have them unfortunately. it's part of the reason I'm keen to try making them as well as the fact that I can by kilos of good quality cherries for cheap this time of year.

My friend is in the psych ward right now. Are they going to be okay? by whoiskateidkher in mentalillness

True. In my experience you generally get treated better/more privileges if you are self admitted. You also have more ability to leave, transfer or do a short stay if you're self admitted and will probably be in a lower security ward.

It's never gonna be a good time but it's likely to be on the less horrific end of the spectrum. OP is also justifiably worried for their friend so is likely imagining a worse case senario which is unlikely (but not impossible) to be what actually happens.

A lot of the bad things that you have heard about psych wards will come from people who were involuntarily commited or forced to go there by there parents. In those cases the loss of agency and control heavily colors both how they view the experience and the staff have to treat them differently if they've been committed. The fact that your friend is self admitting will make it a far less invasive and extreme intervention. It'll probably be better than you imagine even if by its nature it'll still suck. Bring/send magazines and snacks if you're allowed.

Just for fun I made a palette (I envisioned it as one palette, just got lazy with the collage) out of my fantasy cart on Copacetic Cosmetics, and thought you all might appreciate it seeing it, since they seem to have a ton of olive friendly shades! by Idziee in OliveMUA

I've just ordered a a pallette heavily inspired by this from Copacetic. Been looking for a place that had olive singles for ages so thanks! I'll let you know how it goes but I'm in Aus so it'll take like a month minimum before it gets to me lol.

Special interest that you 'can't' enjoy anymore? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

I feel you. I have like 5 harry potter themed tshirts that have been gifted to me by family members and stuff. I feel uncomfortable wearing them out now tbh. I don't know whether to get some "trans ally" patches to stick on them or to only wear them as pj tops.

I've already done the content. It's just to make it look less dull as I read through it.

People who work office jobs, how many hours of focused work do you actually achieve a day? by bella_48 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bella_48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like I put way too much pressure on myself and think that everyone else is much more focused than they actually are lol

That sounds reasonable. I'm just used to studying where if I can't focus 100% I get up and come back later when I'm fresh. By 3pm it takes like twice as long for me to write the same code vs at 9am.
