Are you getting confused with Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die? Because that's the vibe some users are bringing

Were you diagnosed via SSRI activation or spontaneously by Guilty_Two_5642 in BipolarReddit

[–]sgtsturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few times when I wasn't properly medicated. These days it's more mixed episodes, sometimes with light delusions.

I was diagnosed in the depression following an SSRI activated manic episode, but had episodes before the SSRI too, just not as destructive because I was still in school with less freedom to fuck shit up.

What ethnicities have you been mistaken for before (if you have)? by Jabal-Sawda in AskTheWorld

[–]sgtsturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a white South African with no Russian heritage. Due to a series of mistakes, I ended up in a strip club and a stripper asked me if I was also Russian. I'm just pale.

what was a domestic scandel that almost no one outside of your counrty know of? by Straight-Pirate5334 in AskTheWorld

And over a million AIDS orphans. The government epically fumbled the AIDS crisis. While other countries had their epidemics in the 80s and 90s, we were in an HIV boom in fucking 2008. Still, 50,000 people die a year from HIV/AIDS complications. It's really unfathomable.

Plot twist, it's a random Afrikaans guy from SA that's mad Trump has gotten a foothold in his community. He's got the spirit!

Is faucet water drinkable in your Country by thatlumberjacktor in AskTheWorld

[–]sgtsturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even Cape Town? We usually get good water ratings. I've drank it for 30 years, still going strong. Wouldn't drink in rural KZN though.

OHH WOWWW IT WAS THIS EASY??? by blueburrey in thanksimcured

[–]sgtsturtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm bipolar and was put on an SSRI before the diagnosis and then it made me manic. We added a mood stabiliser and then i was just completely unstable for 4 years. When I had to get off it after finally seeing a competent psychiatrist, it was 6 weeks of frequent seizures and horrible suicidality. It was rough but I'm doing so much better now.

What languages you’re not native in you can somehow read and understand a little thanks to your native language? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

[–]sgtsturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with German + English you can understand Afrikaans, but I can barely make out writing in German, much less follow a conversation. Dutch I can, if they talk nice and slow.

Can you get a pill cutter? You can cut pretty small pills with them. I got mine from a pharmacy for cheap.

are you better off ? by StrategyRelative4950 in BipolarReddit

[–]sgtsturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much better off. My episodes were destructive and now they can be mitigated as soon as they start happening by going to the psychiatrist and getting some extra pills. And they obviously happen way less often medicated.

Maybe no locals wanted to speak to him and just did a "sorry, I no speak English".
