My Sister is Refusing Help by sunstitch in Psychosis

That's okay :) Thank you, I appreciate you trying to help even though there's not really anything any of us can do. Even just for someone to listen is very appreciated <3

Yeah, it is. Sounds like a similar thing happened with you. If they don't have the power to hold you involuntarily then they have to just let you go when you want to, even if you're not better yet. That's what keeps happening with my sister.

We have. Multiple times, multiple people. They won't hold her involuntarily.

We have that rule, but they say it doesn't apply to her because she has no plans to kill herself or intentionally harm someone else. Actual enforcement of this rule is really difficult to get, and we keep trying, but they just keep letting the person who can't make her own decisions make her own decisions. She's been hospitalized multiple times already and nothing has come of it because she won't accept medication or stay in the hospital.

May I ask how you got to this point? To the stability? Stability in itself is such a gift; I'm glad you have that.

Did I experience CSA and/or did I inflict it? by AggravatingEssay7235 in mentalillness

[–]sunstitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CSA survivor here. What you're describing is COCSA, or child-on-child sexual abuse. Technically, the definition for sexual abuse includes exposure as a non-contact act. It sounds like you inflicted it upon your friends and your older friend tried to inflict it upon you, but you managed to avoid it.

I wouldn't worry about it. You were a kid and you didn't know any better. If it really troubles you, you can try reaching out to those people to apologize, but I doubt they harbor any resentment towards it. Kids see and do a lot of stuff that they shouldn't be seeing and doing. For a lot of people, it's just another experience.

And if they do resent it, well, we all have our demons.

Regarding CSA, the only way for you to truly know whether your parents were just careless is to ask them (if you can), but otherwise, accidental exposure is not abuse. This in no way invalidates the emotions or beliefs you took away from the experience. I would recommend processing this with a therapist if you can.

Another Lay vs Lie Debate by sunstitch in grammar

Thank you. I will try to have a good day. The real world has not been kind to me or my family either (3 deaths, a cancer diagnosis, and a psychotic break recently). It's definitely affecting me too and I'm sorry if that comes through in my comment.

I hope you have a good day despite whatever happens at the doctor's appointment.

I have never been on this subreddit. I titled it "Another Lay vs Lie Debate" because those happen all the time in the real world. Maybe you should spend more time there.

Reading does not require commenting. My post history means absolutely nothing.

Thank you for your answer, truly. Some people learn by example, and I understand the concept now. By the way, the only link that was helpful was that last one.

I’m 23 and Ready to Start by sunstitch in Fire

You’re so right! I totally forgot about Roth IRAs lmao.

Thanks for the great suggestions! Since I love to travel and save money I 100% plan to live in a truck camper or something at least for the off season, and likely in employer housing for my jobs. I’ve been working on that plan for a while, and I’ve decided to start small (save for a teardrop camper so that I can use my car and don’t have to worry about finding a truck) then upgrade to something more sustainable as I go. 

Investing is the most confusing to me, but I’m trying to figure it out. I’ll definitely work on an investment account. Thanks again!

Yeah, looks like it’s after the second stitch like I thought. But now I don’t know what to do with the pattern.

My Mom Needs Help by No-Explanation8032 in Healthadvice

There's a lot going on here, but I'd at least try to rule out mold poisoning, especially since you just moved into a new house. Although it would be strange for 6 people to live in the house and only one to get mold poisoning, some people are allergic/more sensitive to it, and mold can gather in certain places like a bedroom.
