Do I have schizophrenia or I am scammed by psychiatrist?
  • Are you living life on your own and making it ok? Are the voices/conversations interfering with what you want or need to do? Are they interfering with your relationships?

    That's a lot of questions, but my nephew would have answered No to the first question and Yes to the others. He's a diagnosed schizophrenic, and I'm telling you about him because getting on meds turned his life around. He's working now, has an apartment and is maintaining relationships.

    I know it's frightening, but you've had two doctors diagnose you. It might be worth trying the meds. Ask if there are programs that can help you pay.

    I hope things work out for you.

  • New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
  • Someone called me a libtard under his breath, but loudly enough to make sure I heard...in a CANCER center, where many of us were having our immune systems weakened by chemo.

    You can't fix stupid so I don't even try. I've been in remission for almost two years, I'm healthy and he's out there sucking in viruses. We both have ticking clocks, but mine is ticking much more slowly than his is.

  • What are some insults in english that will make non-native speakers have to ask someone their meaning?
  • South Louisiana here. It can be used affectionately (seeing a sick child and saying Bless your heart) but I find it is more often used to point out someone's lack of intelligence or bad behaviour (Karen is pitching an absolute fit in the checkout lane at Albertsons because she misread a price label...Bless her heart)

    Maybe you're from a more polite area of the south, but where I am we are heavily into calling out morons.

  • Politicians and dog experts vilify South Dakota governor after she writes about killing her dog
  • So, I've got a theory. She killed her pup not because it upset her by scattering the birds she hunted, but because it embarrassed her in front of the neighbors when it killed their chickens. Cricket wouldn't listen to her and it made her feel publicly ineffectual and weak. Being made to feel that way absolutely enraged her.

    She's a massive POS and I really hope this ends her career.

  • ‘Sleepy Don’ Dozes Off in Court AGAIN
  • Of course it's news! It highlights the fact that Trump cannot pay attention for any meaningful period of time. How can a man who can't stay awake when his future is at stake pay attention when it's our future at stake?

  • More young people choosing permanent sterilization after abortion restrictions, new research shows
  • I knew of a girl when I was in high school. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. Word began rushing through the school that she (head cheerleader) was pregnant by the quarterback on the football team. He came from a super wealthy family, and honestly we all expected an immediate marriage and a 'premature' baby.

    What happened instead was an announcement that she had died during emergency surgery and let's all pray. She had had a (what we called) backstreet abortion and hemorrhaged.

    We all knew how to access an illegal abortion, we knew the risks, and this girl just was the unlucky one.

    She was super smart, in the Latin club, debate, 4.0, just destined for success. And instead she died.

    This was in 1969, and I cannot believe we as a nation are willing to go back over 2 decades in women's healthcare.

  • Eclipse-watchers: looking at 99.9% totality is unsafe!
  • Oh ffs. He's such a vainglorious idiot that he doesn't even know he should be completely, totally, and irredeemably embarrassed for doing such a stupid thing...but no. There is nothing in him that is not infused with empty, unearned pride.
