    I'm sry, but I've been to lots of psych wards in Germany, and none were anywhere near this restricting, and there weren't many incidents.

    Patients attack you cause your system treats them like convicts. Treat them like a human and they will react way better

    This simulation sucks

    Help, I've somehow landed in a simulation of this weird place I can't leave. My CMD Window is broken. There's weird people in socks here screaming about all sorts of crazy shit. Like how the celestial FBI is looking for them so they need to hide behind their face so they will not be found And extradited. Then there's weird people acting like they own this place. Like they own us. They want me to swallow these weird round things. When I don't take them they force me to. I can't leave this simulation. Someone help pls. Can someone connect to my system and reactivate my CMD Window? I've learned to never set your vagina-world-simulator to random from this. Pls help

    Having her money taken for the rest of her life is not a good response. Ofcourse she's a fucking dumbass, but having her life destroyed because of that one moment is not adequate.

    The problem of healthcare in the USA is way more severe than a destroyed MRI machine.

    This is not a good thing.

    1. It shows people it's okay to misgender someone you don't like

    2. It won't feel bad for him. For him it's a joke that doesn't do any harm. For trans people getting misgendered is life and can deeply hurt

    First time feeling depressed in 2 years :(

    Hey fellow people, Like the title says, I'm feeling depressed again after 2 years of euthymia. Lithium was doing its job perfectly. To be honest it's still doing its job, this depression is managable compared to prior episodes. I can distract myself from the bad thoughts when talking with people or reading a book which is really nice. Hopefully I'll be able to hold down my job through this

    Taking away (extreme) wealth. There's no reason one person should have that much. There's countless better ways to use that money/wealth than for one persons extravagant lifestyle. And even if they don't have an extravagant lifestyle, what are they gonna do with it? Doubt they will build infrastructure out of good will with it.

    I laughed my ass off at some parts. This was way more entertaining than I thought it'd be. I probably won't binge alle the volumes I currently have, cause it doesn't hook me in a way that it could do that. It's more of a here and there kind of story that would suit to be read inbetween me binging the rest of torture princess (which I've finally gotten all volumes of at home now)

    Sad to hear that lithium didn't work for you. I have zero side effects luckily, except hypothyroidism for which I take L-thyroxin, and have zero side effects again.

    Have you found meds that work for you?

    I tried many meds before lithium In order

    • Quetiapine. Due to psychotic mania . Worked like a charm
    • Aripiprazol. As a replacement for the Quetiapine. Because I had depression and no energy. Worst medication I've ever tried. I didn't make it past the first 3 days due to severe akithisia combined with being really tired and sedated. Pure agony holy shit. Stopped it and back on Quetiapine again.
    • Lamotrigine. Didn't work at all. Even with 325mg daily my serum levels were way too low.
    • Escitalopram. It worked a little bit against the depression, but my QT time was prolonged so I had to stop.
    • Lithium. I was hospitalized, and we decided to try Lithium. First they fastly tapered me off of Lamotrigine. Then started Lithium. It works perfectly. I don't wanna say it and jinx it but I really feel like I'm cured. Euthymia is nice.

    Right now I'm on 675mg Lithium, 300mg Seroquel XR, and 50mcg L-thyroxin.

    You also need to define the word work. For some theories there is a distinction between work and labor, each having different undertones and nuances.

    I'm all for abolishing Work completely, but labour must still be done, and will be done through natural stimulation

    looking for a brainfucking LN

    I love Serial Experiments Lain. And I'm looking for a light novel that is similar in the heavy psychological themes. End of Evangelion Movie is also close to what I'm looking for. Preferably it doesn't have like 15 volumes, looking for a rather short one. But that's not so important, as long as it's psychological And covers themes of ego, consciousness etc.

    I'll just post this as a separate comment

    I just finished rascal does not dream of logical witch (Rascal vo.l 3)

    • I love the di(tri)alogue in this series. It feels so alive and the characters feel so relatable event though dialogues like that would probably never happen in real life

    • it makes me yearn back for my time in school, or more precisely for the friendships that school can foster. I realized I don't have any friends with whom I could/would want to spontaneously do things in the middle of the night, or have those emotionally Deep dialogues.

    • this feels like applied therapy, passively guiding you to change your perspective

    • **I feel like I can't give all the books I'm finishing a 10/10 rating even though I'd want to.

    I will give this a 9/10 because the start was pretty slow**

    How did you get into Light Novels and which one was your first?

    I was watching Anime for a long time already, picked up a manga here and there but I didn't really enjoy them. It felt like there was so little story and I could finish one in under an hour. So I gave up on Manga. I watched So I'm a Spider, So What?/ Kumo desu ga, nani ka? when it started airing and it hooked me instantly. Her character. The world. The comedy. Everything. (Except the humans...). Once it was over, I wanted more. And since everyone kept saying the Light Novel is way better, especially the human side, I bought the first 3 volumes. It was amazing. I binge read them until I had to wait for the English releases. Right now I'm waiting for vol. 16 to be available again so I can finish this series.

    I met a manic woman on the tram the berated me for my 'disgusting' feet

    So, after 9 1/2 hours of working In a kitchen I was on my way home. I took off my shoes and socks because my feet hurt. I get on the tram. A few seats next to me a woman sat, loudly talking on the phone. The call ends and she sees me, being Barefoot. She starts loudly berating me for my disgusting toe nails, and the dirt under my nails etc. At this point I notice that she seems off somehow. Other people start chiming in that my feet are fine and that she should mind her own business. This continues for another 5 minutes, I'm making snarky remarks. I honestly didn't care about her, just being tired after 13 hours awake. Some other things she said: typical German thing, Turks and Arabs would never do that (she was of Turkish origin). The hairs on my feet are disgusting. Ithe other passenger start exiting the tram, it's just us two now basically. I put on my headphones completely ignoring her. She stands up and sits directly in front of me. I take off my headphones. I ask her if she has bipolar disorder. She asks me if I doe. I say yes. She says she has it too. I say that she seems manic. She agrees. She nearly starts crying and apologizing . I say it's fine, because I realized early on and that I know she didn't mean to harrass me, I can relate. We talk a bit about bipolar stuff. I tell her I just came from work and my feet hurt, that she's right I should cut my toe nails. She asks me what I work, I tell her I work in a kitchen In a refugee camp. She starts crying and apologizing again. We exchange names and I have to get off the tram. Once outside I wondered wtf just happened. That's my very weird random story I experienced on Saturday. Have you ever randomly met other manic people? It

    Cables are important

    This doesn't exactly fit but it's close enough. This was in 2016 or 2017. A good friend of mine was in need of a new PC and wanted to buy a prebuilt. I gently (maybe not so gently) told him that was a waste of money and I could build a better one for cheaper. So I put together a decent budget oriented mid tier build for him. i5 and a GTX 1060 6gb. All was well at this point. We ordered the parts to his house and I got on a train to his city to put it together. At this point in time, I wasn't an expert on building PC's. I had built two PCs in total. both very budget oriented. So we (I) start building the PC. All goes well. Each part at it's place. Each cable connected (supposedly). Press the power button. doesn't POST. reseat everything. doesn't POST . My friend is getting very anxious at this point which is slightly annoying to me... Saying he should have just built a prebuilt. This in turn is making me uneasy. We decided to take it a PC shop so that they can test if a component is dead. And mostly to ease his anxiousness. We take the whole computer, which is basically 'ready' in a cardboardbox to the pc shop. Taking public transit with a huge and decently heavy box isn't that comfortable. Arriving at the PC shop we explain the problem to the worker. He takes one look at it and goes: 'You haven't connected to 6pin power cable for the CPU' Cue embarassment. But also relief that it was just a stupid oversight, fitting to my inexperience. Back in his home, we connect the cable. It posts. all is good. Mainboard has no wifi built in so we get an ethernet cable. No connection. Ethernet doesn't work. I tried everything that I could and it didn't work. He bought a cheap usb wifi adapter. which works. To this day The ethernet doesn't work. He is still using that PC. I'm telling him he should upgrade it, or more like replace it completely. He want's to buy a prebuilt. I tell him I can build him a pc for better and cheaper. I feel like im experiencing a deja vu. Hope the second round goes smoother..
