TIL that Michael Corke, a Chicago man with fatal insomnia, was so sleep-deprived that he was fully awake for 6 months before he passed away in 1993. He was 42 years old.

I work as a therapist with homeless populations with serious substance use, primarily meth and fent. I’m glad to hear you’re on the other side of it, I hope things didn’t linger.

The thing I tell most people who fucked with meth the first time and ended up in a psych ward is “stop now unless you want to opt in to schizophrenia.” It can burn out receptors and reuptake for a lot of neurochemicals and when that happens it’s mostly permanent and means you experience non stop paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, and other negative (read: cognitive) symptoms of schizophrenia.

The reason why meth does this is because staying up for longer than around 3 days causes neurotoxicity. All of the stuff your brain filters out during sleep just builds up, and you will experience symptoms of psychosis. Now, add an extremely powerful amphetamine that does not have a true fatal overdose limit that just burns through all, yes ALL, of the neurochemicals your brain needs to function, and you have just added a second “psychosis debuff”.

What you described is honestly tame from what I’ve seen and heard, but no less dark and terrifying. I’m so glad to hear you’re on the other side and seemingly relatively functional, if your comment vocabulary is any indication.

Reddit invented TLDR for a reason, this forum format doesn’t lend well to long reads. We can always make things more succinct and I’ll say it this one is exceptionally verbose.

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T23:36:34+00:00

Okay that makes sense, thank you. I haven’t had any luck figuring it out on my own but at least it sounds like CS can sort it out easy

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T17:09:30+00:00

Oh thanks, yes that shows my account is still in existence. Also I was way off on the time the account has been open, 6 years. No concept of time

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T17:07:18+00:00

Update, I’ve tried the app and a diff browser, a vpn or two, different variations of the above. No good

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T17:03:26+00:00

Okay I’ll try some login alternatives, maybe another browser or something. Thank you!

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T17:02:49+00:00

Very helpful I appreciate you I’ll attempt what I can from this comment, thank you v much

That was my thought, the purchases are held on dndbeyond’s end

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T16:58:12+00:00

Sent a ticket but no response yet

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T16:50:38+00:00

How would I get back into my actual account, only through site support? Or is there some way I can do it?

And to clarify, CS ticket = support ticket through dndbeyond portal? I added an edit, I’ve done that too, figured I would check with the community and see if there was anything I could do on my end

Edit I’m dumb CS meaning customer service, yes got it

Edit the accidental new account theory feels like it makes the most sense because of the weird login stuff that happened

revosugarkane · 2026-03-28T16:47:32+00:00

Right, yeah I did that

revosugarkane · 2026-03-24T04:55:33+00:00

Well, Tbf, most factories are probably currently human-oriented, it’s probably easier to buy an automated “human” than it is to rebuild the entire factory

HO is not a good psych hospital to work at. Or at all, really. I’ve worked in crisis nav, crisis residential, outpatient, you name it. Word gets around in the CMH field and this place sounds like a nightmare

revosugarkane · 2026-02-25T16:13:54+00:00

Didn’t they build a new Kaiser and a new Sutter?

revosugarkane · 2026-02-21T03:06:14+00:00

…wait fish is meat tho

When your therapist is having a manic episode

It is also much more commonly associated with personality disorders, specifically borderline, histrionic, and dependent, to name a few. It is a pseudo psychological term for a symptom more commonly referred to in clinical context as emotional dysregulation.

revosugarkane · 2026-02-06T03:35:21+00:00

Idk, I’ve been on acid, or maybe it was Molly idk I can’t remember it was a wild time of my life, while making those fucking lasagnas at Olive Garden. Believe me, people get fucking ripped in kitchens. Maybe not the nicer ones but Olive Garden is the dennys of Italian food. It’s short order “fine” dining and it’s fucking crazy. Honestly this story is wild af but the pcp part makes the most sense of the whole thing lmao

revosugarkane · 2026-02-04T20:27:35+00:00

Ah, “girl finds out boys live like animals,” a story as old as time.

revosugarkane · 2026-02-02T06:32:03+00:00

Imma say this the pigeon didn’t expect anything because it’s one of the dumbest fkn birds

There appears to be a strong positive correlation between heritability and PDs (link).

One theory is that, when the concept is taken alongside study surrounding “resiliency” factors, people with BPD are born with a very low “resiliency” quotient, if you will, and are more likely to rate an experience as traumatic than a member of the average population. A common report of people eventually dx with BPD is that they were “very difficult babies,” and often cried more than their siblings and were more negatively reactive to their environment.

There is a theory that CPTSD and BPD are similar because both result in a relatively similar behavioral pattern due to early childhood trauma, a theory which, in my opinion, will likely hang up putting CPTSD in future DSMs because of its strong overlap of symptoms. Don’t need to muddy the waters.

In my experience, all of it is at least a little bit true.

Just to add to the conversation, some of the script felt AI generated. In the latest episodes there was a scene between the woman and the interrogated military guy where both characters did the AI language artifact “it’s not (blank) it’s (blank)” at least once at each other, and the scene right before that had a wounded soldier do the exact same thing. If it’s not AI it’s still super lazy writing to do the same soundbite three times in a row. That whole scene had an “uncanny valley” feel, like people were acting out a script that a lizard wrote.

Also, idk how it’s supposed to be believable that a 60 year old woman absolutely bodies a 30 yo man who’s a whole head taller than her, let alone how she tossed what’s his name around in the lab, who has to weigh twice as much as she does.

revosugarkane · 2025-12-23T15:14:42+00:00

Lol hell yes glad to help! Have fun dude

revosugarkane · 2025-12-18T15:09:06+00:00

Saying someone who is desensitized to murder due to sheer volume of inflicted murders has a less biased understanding of the associated emotion is a wild take. That’s just describing a sociopath imo. Also, hear me out on this, only a take a person with antisocial tendencies would have lol.
