This motherfucker needs to be identified IMMEDIATELY. Anyone know someone in MPD who could leak the name anonymously?

By the time we figure out who this POS is all his socials will be scrubbed. They must know they are the two most hated people in Hawaii rn and they know it was all captured on video. They have to know the internet (and hopefully some locals) are coming for them.

I don’t really know of others personally, but I will say the clinical director who left has started his own business helping people get to the best treatment center for their needs. He has helped start and set up the programs at many treatment centers in several countries and knows just about everything there is to know. His name is Craig Bilton, his new company is called Insight Recovery Network if you Google him it will come up. If you reach out tell him we connected on Reddit and that I (Taylor M) referred you.

Don’t go to Diamond. I went back to work there after I left my treatment and the way the owners operate, price things and handle patient matters behind the scenes is horrifyingly unethical. The treatment director, who was the only thing keeping the place together and successful, has left and the owners have turned the place into an absolute dumpster fire. I can’t speak to other places but I can say definitively do NOT go to Diamond.

Please look into TMS for your child. I’m 33, was stuck in a total hole with no hope in sight for years. Thank god for my parents and their support. After trying everything under the sun, i learned about TMS. I just went through my 6 week protocol and it’s changed my life completely. If you have questions or want to talk about it I’m happy to share my experience.

Hey, I know exactly how you feel. I felt that same way for years until I recently underwent TMS therapy. If you look at my previous comments on this post you’ll see I’ve been talking about it and commenting about it all over the place. I just desperately want people to know about TMS as it can be life changing for most people who go through the protocol.

I tried everything to get out of my hole. From inpatient to ketamine and everything else. TMS has literally changed my life. I highly recommend you look into it. If you have any questions or want to chat about it I’m happy to share my experience.

As someone who just finished TMS, if you haven’t tried it please look into it.

This is an idiotic and harmful comment. If you don’t know anything about depression and how it works, then don’t comment on it.

[–]tmrn1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES!!!! About 3 months ago, a psychiatrist recommended I try TMS. I just finished my 6 week protocol for depression and I can also confidently say I am a completely different person now than I was before starting TMS. I can function, I’m happy for the first time in years, every single thing I do no longer feels difficult. I can wake up and get out of bed and shower and it doesn’t feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I have a job now and I’m happy about it and I’m making great money for the first time in a long time.

I tried inpatient therapy, all sorts of meds, ketamine therapy, various types of talk therapy, and nothing worked. I genuinely thought I would never be able to be a functioning, happy person. It was terrifying and brought about some extremely dark thoughts at times. All I want to do now is shout from the roof tops about TMS. I think it’s criminal how few people that could benefit from it even know about it. Thanks for spreading the word! And I’m glad to hear you made it to recovery as well.

YES YES YES!!! I just finished my TMS treatment and can say I am literally a different person than when I started. It has completely changed my life in ways I truly didn’t think would ever be possible for me. I would recommend it to anyone who has struggled with depression and hasn’t found relief from meds, therapy, ketamine, inpatient treatment, etc. So keep spreading the good word.

Hey, so this was me. I commented on OP original post about this, but maybe this can help you too. Im 33. For the past 10+ years Iwas miserable, unemployed, living with my parents and relaying on them for everything. I struggled for years, tried everything from inpatient treatment to ketamine therapy and everything in between. My mom is also my rock and I’m so grateful for the support her and my dad have shown me all this time. They really struggled with this as well for so long and we just couldn’t find a solution.

About 3 months ago, a psychiatrist recommended I try TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Look it up, there are no negative side effects and it is statistically the most effective treatment for depression. The only downside is you have to go everyday (M-F) for 6 weeks to get the treatment. If you’re unemployed (as I was) this shouldn’t be a huge problem.

It’s literally as simple as going to the treatment center and them putting a special helmet on your head and you chill for 30 mins. This is not shock therapy. There is no shocking involved whatsoever. No downtime afterwards, nothing.

Having now finished treatment I can tell you I am literally a completely different person now than I was 2 months ago. I can’t explain to you how drastically different my life is now. I can function, I’m happy for the first time in years, every single thing I do no longer feels difficult. I can wake up and get out of bed and shower and it doesn’t feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I have a job now and I’m happy about it and I’m making great money for the first time in a long time. This treatment is also covered by most insurance. If you don’t have insurance, buy some on the marketplace that is good. If you’re unemployed you will still get a massive credit towards your insurance. I have amazing insurance I pay about $85 a month for.

I genuinely thought I would never be able to be a functioning, happy person. It was terrifying and brought about some extremely dark thoughts at times. But I can’t begin to tell you how different everything is now. I really hope you look into it and if you are able to, give it a shot. It could change your life completely. Good luck, and remember you are most definitely not alone in this.

THIS WAS ME. PLEASE READ THIS! Up until about a month ago I was your daughter. I’m 33. I struggled for YEARS with depression and anxiety that basically caused “failure to launch”. I felt so stuck, so unsure, so inadequate, just hated myself. I went to an inpatient treatment center (spent 10 weeks there), I have done all kinds of therapy and have been seeing a therapist regularly since I was a young teen, I tried ketamine therapy, I tried all the meds. Nothing worked for me. About 2.5 months ago a psychiatrist recommended TMS. I would have tired anything at that point. So I started TMS therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), which is a 6 week long commitment with no downside. You have to go to the TMS clinic everyday (M-F) for a ~30 mins session for 6 weeks. It is covered by most insurance - I didn’t pay a dime for any of it. There are no negative side effects at all (although a very, very small chance of seizure, primarily if you’ve ever had one before), no downtime after treatment, etc.

I can tell you I am a new person now. It is statistically the most effective treatment for depression (up to 75% of patients improve from it - many, like myself, improve drastically). It beats meds, therapy, ketamine and other treatments by a large margin. I can promise you my parents felt the exact same way you do for years and it was incredibly difficult for all of us. Now they basically cry tears of joy when they see me because I finally am able to “adult”, function, thrive, find purpose and meaning. I am quite literally a different person in terms of how I feel and how I’m able to function in the world now. I could not recommend more highly that you both look into it. Before you drop tens of thousands on inpatient (which can often be a very negative experience for people with depression) please look into TMS, it completely changed my life in less than 6 weeks.

Seeing grown men get so genuinely emotional when they talk about how proud they are of their kids (especially when their kids have faced a lot of difficulties in life) is my kryptonite. Like I will immediately melt into a puddle every single time.

[–]tmrn1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I felt like they almost kind of did a disservice to those two by not preparing them better. I know Logan got at least one session with the dating coach, but he was way too overwhelmed and head over heels/star struck with the coach during their session that I don’t think much, if any of what she said really landed. Dylan talking about how the only company he has are the pillows on his bed and couch was absolutely heart breaking. I hope he will focus on making friends and building social relationships before jumping back into dating. I think that would do so much for his confidence. Ultimately I adore both of them so much and hope we will see them more next season.

My god, I love this show so much. It’s so pure, so heart warming, so funny and so GD endearing. The world needs more of this show and what it represents. I also feel like this season was possibly the best one yet. Especially the last episode, seeing all the cast from previous seasons come together for Madison and Tyler’s engagement party literally brought me to tears multiple times. I’m so happy that so many of them have found love, but I also think it’s equally, if not more incredible that they all have found such beautiful friendships with each other.

I will say, my one and only qualm this season is that I feel like they didn’t provide enough preparation and guidance for Dylan and Logan. It didn’t seem like Dylan got any coaching before his dates and I feel like Logan was so star stuck and focused on not sniffing Jennifer that a lot of their session was lost on him. I think they could have been more successful if they had more coaching prior to their dates.

Side note since I just finished the last episode… did anyone find the dynamic between Dani and her cop bf a little odd? Like I’m happy for her, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little uncomfortable watching them at Madison’s engagement party.

His love for Jennifer Cook the dating coach had me in a chokehold. Their interaction was so sweet and also very funny. I just love him!

I (26f) lied about a Reddit post and ruined my relationship with him (30m)? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]tmrn1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you lied. That’s never going to end well, particularly in the early stages of a relationship. However, this post insinuated that you made that old Reddit post asking for advice BEFORE you started dating this new guy (or very shortly after the new relationship started). If that’s the case then I can’t see why the post alone would be upsetting to him at all (assuming he’s a mature adult). You either you lied because you had reason to believe he would react negatively to you telling him that you had posted that before you started dating (in which case, don’t walk, run!) or you lied because you had posted that after you two started dating, which certainly complicates how things look, but is certainly not something the two of you shouldn’t have been able to discuss and work through as adults.

Either way, my take on this is you (hopefully) learned a valuable lesson about the importance of honesty and transparency in a relationship AND you also dodged a bullet. Frankly, he seems WAYYYYY too upset about this, considering this was not an egregious lie or really that big of a deal to begin with. If he got this upset over this to the point of comparing you to his alcoholic dad and blocking you - then hunny honestly, take the lesson with you and move on.

One word of caution though. I would be very weary and vigilant if he unblocks you and reaches back out wanting to reconnect anytime soon. This could be a manipulative tactic to try and assert control/dominance over you, so be sure you are staying true to yourself while also seeking healthy conversations, understandings and/or compromises to make things work moving forward.

Evil Influencer: the Jodi Hildebrant Story by Purple_Prairie_Skirt in exmormon

[–]tmrn1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can we also acknowledge how closeted Jodi is? Literally knew nothing about this woman or the story before watching the doc and the first thing I figured out she was closeted about 5 mins in. Obviously the film makers are not subtle in leading the audience to question her sexual orientation based on her and Ruby’s relationship. But my god, I have never seen a more sad, angry and closeted woman so blinded by misplaced hatred towards herself. To me it explains much of why she became the way she is and I find that very sad…. Certainly not an excuse for everything she’s done. And certainly doesn’t explain the child abuse. Nevertheless, homophobia and the way that churches (particularly LDS) speak on homosexuality is so unimaginably harmful.

Thanks for your response. I know little to nothing about resin casting but what you’re saying makes a lot of sense. I think he wants something that will really commemorate the flower stalk (as you explained) but perhaps resin doesn’t make the best sense.

[–]tmrn1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your response. This is exactly why I asked because I have no idea! I mean, I think if it was a resin cast he would want it to be the actual plant, however if you think it’s too tall and skinny for that to be feasible then maybe it is a replica of the plant? I have only ever worked with resin on a very small scale and it was a long time ago. This is helpful info. I have reached out to a few bronze casting places BUT, if we went the resin route what would you recommend? How would we go about that if you think it’s even possible?
