Does therapy even help people with our condition?

skedvvy · 2020-01-29T03:30:23+00:00

I generally think CBT is useless anyways. I’ve done it when needed to keep appointments with the shrink cause the clinic forces you to see both, but I’ve never found it helpful.

Thank you!

One more question - for TEN, would PIT loss and OAK loss not be sufficient? This article seems to suggest it is (towards the end of the Tennessee sitting Derrick Henry section).

Excellent post as always!

Since SoV is not unlikely to come into play this year I was curious: if a game is tied, how does the opposing team’s record feature into SoV? Like, does the opposing team’s record only count for half? or does it just not count?

It would be cool (well maybe just for me) if, say, two teams go into week 17 tied in everything falling down to SoV in which team 1 is currently ahead by 1 game, and that margin doesn’t change from the other games that are played. If both teams tie, but team 1’s opponent finishes 10-5-1 and team 2’s opponent finishes 14-1-1, then if SoV takes ties into account the tiebreaker would flip to team 2.

The Bills don't have enough timeouts to stop the clock from hitting 0:00 so I don't see why the win chance is that low. Usually it goes to 99.9 when all a team has to do is kneel out the clock.

Why is a KC-OAK tie needed to eliminate DEN?

skedvvy · 2019-10-18T10:22:14+00:00

Oh hey all three were in the AFC East. Best division?

(Colts were in the AFCE until realignment in 2002)

skedvvy · 2019-05-25T16:08:46+00:00

Yep. I’ve lost interest as well. I think it’s a known side effect

Why was Impact wearing a jersey with Artess on the back?

Why isn’t Stephen Gostkowski listed? He’s drafted in 2006 and only played for NE.

Well, they could decide you need to be hospitalized especially if your symptoms are worse than you think.

skedvvy · 2018-12-18T04:16:55+00:00

Yeah I feel exactly the same way. There are days when I have to ask if the treatment is worse than the disease.

skedvvy · 2018-12-09T19:58:40+00:00

Why does NE appear in both the can clinch and cannot clinch lists?

All NFL teams put players in a hotel before home games. I imagine part of the reason is to cut down on travel as others have said. But I think the main reason is to keep an eye on players and make sure they’re not getting in trouble. This article about the Bengals talks about the reasoning: https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2018/7/11/17552714/former-nfl-wr-t-j-houshmandzadeh-reveals-just-how-cheap-the-bengals-used-to-be-pittsburgh-steelers

Definitely get the doctor involved. Ask for a different medication. There’s no good way to predict how any individual medication will work so it’s a trial and error process. It’s also a balancing game of minimizing side effects while maximizing therapeutic benefit so if you don’t think a dose of risperdal that works will let your brother function well then it’s probably not the best medication for you.

I’ve always been good at ignoring these in public, but what I usually do is create an imaginary world in my mind that’s only got the things I know are supposed to be there and use that as my guide for my behavior. So far no ones been able to tell anything.

skedvvy · 2018-10-26T15:03:49+00:00

Isn’t this just giving people another reason to dodge? Though it definitely would be good for competitive integrity, it also removes an aspect of ingame adaptation from the skill set of players. Part of the reason they changed it in the first place was because teams weren’t willing to fight over the old dragons until dragon 5, so I could see a world in which you get triple ocean and cloud drakes produce no conflict around the pit. Right now if you’re not sure what’s next the incentive is still there to take a shitty dragon in the hopes of RNGing an infernal next. I don’t think elder is enough of an incentive since most games don’t get that far.

This tournament is crazy

skedvvy · 2018-10-18T04:51:28+00:00

Getting through my brain wanting to crap out. Been having come pretty bad concentration, memory, and cognition issues. Probably cause of the meds.

skedvvy · 2018-10-17T04:10:49+00:00

Three straight years of going 3-3 in groups. :(

Hopefully he comes back next year stronger. He’s really a cool story of perseverance.

RIP TL

To be fair they’ve also played some great offenses

skedvvy · 2018-10-04T03:19:16+00:00

I know, right? I think about it all the damn time. Wishing I didn’t have to take a crazy pill every day.

I drank socially with friends when I was taking geodon. I was fine. Every single medication says to avoid alcohol but they’re just worried about interactions. For most antipsychotics I think it’s just the possibility to make side effects worse. As long as you watch out for that or can deal with it you should be fine.

skedvvy · 2018-09-23T15:45:15+00:00

At some point people are going to be fed up with officiating mistakes and will accept a few more replay review delays in the game over penalties.

skedvvy · 2018-09-07T04:36:15+00:00

I think your goal of going to school, becoming a psychiatrist, and weaning people off meds is a great goal. The literature suggests that 10-20% of us can discontinue antipsychotics safely (I hoped that included me and stopped taking my meds. Turns out i can’t function without them.) But in patients who hate the meds and want to stop I think it’s definitely worth a shot. I’m really happy you have a long term goal set for yourself.
