Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures?
I stopped taking my seizure meds for a few weeks.
When I was living with my ex, going off the meds resulted in seizures within the next few days. I mean grand mal, unconscious for a few minutes and post octal phase where I have zero idea what is going on (one of the most terrifying feelings you can have honestly) I’ve been living on my own for a few years now, and gradually halfed my dose for financial reasons.
For the past <month I’ve been entirely off.
Maybe this is weird. But at one point there was a few days where I had left my meds somewhere else after staying elsewhere a few days, and was worried about driving, and he said: “don’t worry, you aren’t going to have a seizure.”
Also a ton of abandoned wells, which the state doesn’t really care if the owners leave to pump sludge everywhere.
Does anyone remember the last meltdown republicans had about Cracker Barrel? They added vegetarian sausage to the menu, and I think it made Tucker Carlson?
Not yet! Don’t officially find out until the 2nd. The waiting is worse.
I really just want to die. There has never been a point in my life where I have been treated with dignity or respect. I was born in a place that didn’t want me, to a family that didn’t want me.
988 = 911 where I live. “I’m sorry to hear that” and than cops at your door. Vibrant subcontracts, and there’s no requirement for clinical training/experience.
The troubled teen school I was sent to in the mid naughts had and has parents sign a form which releases them from liability if a kid gets injured. They’ve beaten the shit out of kids for things like asking to go to the bathroom, or having religious amulets.
You are clearly under mental strain and it will be hard.
That’s the thing. I have been under hellish levels of toxic stress for three years with almost zero support. All the paperwork for things like unemployment or even just applying for jobs is overwhelming. I am thoroughly burned out, I can barely take care of myself.
It’s wonderful isn’t it? My ex husband said we’d split the 90k in our bank account half way, even had it in fucking text, but the divorce lawyer didn’t want to do shit. “Oh he stopped paying the insurance before you managed to get him to file? Looks like he doesn’t have to pay insurance then!” He kicked me out, emptied my bank account, maxed out my credit cards and everyone’s like “sorry dumbass, you shouldn’t have had any faith in the justice system.”
There’s no help is there?
You can’t show any emotion at all about what happened to you. People don’t want you to exist. People want to say call 988 because it lets them pretend you don’t exist.
All I have ever wanted is for someone to say, “yes. You were sexually abused. We stood by and did nothing. You told us. You made it clear. And instead of helping you, we let people punish you. We let your mother put you in hospitals to drug you. We let her send you to hypnotists to try to convince you you were raped by the only person who made you feel safe, because she was still angry about the divorce.”
Being hurt and tortured makes you an unperson. If I do end up offing myself, everyone will pretend they cared. But they won’t help me eat today, they won’t help me find a job, they won’t give me a hug.
It’s like the herd knows when a parent has rejected its offspring, and all agrees to make the same choice.
I have 15k in credit card debt. I have 60k in student loans which will start coming out next month and will destroy the limited budget I have. Idk if a lawyer can even help at this point.
I’ve worked hard all of my life. I worked full time in college. I did sex work which I have nightmares about. All I’ve ever wanted is to be able to work a full time job and have enough to live, and it’s just not an option. I’m a removed in the south, I have no friends, and I might as well be a cockroach for the love and support I’ve gotten my entire life.
Will this finally get people to realize that “go to therapy” is useless fucking non advice? No? We’ll just continue to pretend that everyone has the insurance and money for a copay? Perfect! It really helps mental illness when you get gaslighted to shit!
Maybe they’ll defund 988, at least that’ll stop people from pretending it helps anyone lol. (They spent more on advertising than they did hiring anyone who was qualified to care.)
I’m going to lose the job I got because the CEO of the child torture facility get a restraining order against me
It’s clearly in retaliation to shut me up about abuse at the facility. It makes zero sense, even the process server thought it was ridiculous.
But I have no money, I couldn’t find a lawyer. So now my life is over basically. I’m barely employable as it is. I have thousands in credit card debt, I have tens of thousands in student loans, and I work a part time job and do gig work.
There is no therapy. There is no lawyer. DO NOT FUCKING SAY “just check a low income program in your area!” THEY DONT FUCKING EXIST. I live in a red state which exists to chew people up like me.
I have zero family support. I have zero friends. I have zero help.
The second I can’t pay rent I’m walking into traffic.
At no point in my life has there been help. I called a crisis line last year, was assaulted and lost my job because they forget to give me paperwork after I got out.
“Help” seems to be platitudes. Help seems to pretend that there is something on the other side, when across my life that “it gets
Yeah I’ll get to spite them by sleeping on the street!
Because VPOs show up on background checks.
I was kinda hoping maybe someone here would know how that worked, but all the advice is “find a lawyer! There’s totally lawyers that’ll help!” When there has never been a lawyer. They don’t give a shit. They want money. And sure maybe y’all have friends and shit that’ll fucking help but I don’t have a fucking bed. I can barely keep food in the fridge.
But yeah, this is what I get when I ask for help. “Help exists, you’re just too much of a dumb fuck to try doing all the things you’ve already done!”
Tell me to call 988 again so I can be sexually assaulted even more! That totally helped the last time! Tell me to use the money I don’t have to move to magical pixie land Europe or Canada, because I totally can afford a visa and get a job instantly there! Tell me to see a therapist I can’t afford! Tell me to see a lawyer I can’t afford! Tell me to sit at a food bank for hours instead of trying to find work! Life just works out perfectly! When you say “hey this person molested me” you totally get believed and someone does something about it!
The reality is I’ve spent three decades of my life begging for help, I’ve tried every fucking thing suggested here and it didn’t fucking work. My life doesn’t matter, it hasn’t mattered, and I’m just exhausted of being gaslit by being told that if I just call the fairytale lawyers and therapists everything will be fixed!
I have no money. I have negative money. I have been trying to get the bare minimum set up to move out of the country because when student loans come due there’s no fucking way of paying rent. I am trapped here. I have ZERO support of any fucking kind.
No I fucking don’t have anyone to talk to, that why I went here to get no actual advice so far.
And yeah, I know what happens when you fail to kill yourself. You get sent to a place where you can get raped and have the shit kicked out of you.
Life is hell isn’t it? There is no help.
Bruh I’ve already called dozens of lawyers.
AFABs don’t mean shit where I live, we have the highest incarceration right in the states for people defending themselves against abuse.
I’m just going to kill myself I think. All of the advice is shit I’ve already done, now I’m unhirable and there is no help.
Regardless of whether I deserved it it already happened. There’s help for AFAB people who are cis, the rest of us are shit out of luck. I’m more worried about the VPO because that leads to not being able to get a job anymore
I have. I’ve spent a whole fucking year trying.
My ex got to torture me and kick me out of my house, there was no “free legal consultation” then.
I am so fucking sick of people pretending that help exists, and it makes me want to off myself publicly so people know it doesn’t and they’ll shut the fuck up. The US is fucking broken.
I can’t afford a lawyer. So it looks like my options are to become an hero.
Child abuse is legal in the US as long as you claim to be “treating” teenagers for whatever. The TTI has zero regulation and enough money to stay that way.
“Victim protective order” “troubled teen industry” = “unregulated child abuse facilities you can send your child to if you don’t feel like parenting”
VPOs are usually for abusive ex’s that strangle you or like show up to your work months after you break up. But if you are a wealthy child torture facility, I guess it means whatever you want.
Have you seen any shocking/over the top movies? “Extreme horror”
IMHO, Salò is one of the best movies ever made, but not exactly something you can invite your friends over for a movie night. It’s not just going for shock value, there’s something more about the way that fascism and power are tied to the exploitation of children.
Cannibal Holocaust is similar in that its reputation is overshadowed by the gore. The tribe isn’t as evil as the people making the “documentary.” It’s a critique of colonialism, underneath the blood and guts. (Wish they didn’t kill real animals for it though.) It’s not nearly as good as Salò, at the end of the day it’s an exploitation film with a bit of thought in it, but it’s more than just a torture fest.
I won’t extend any of the same praise to A Serbian Film - it’s like if a bunch of internet edgemasters stitched together a bunch of random scenes designed to be as offensive as possible.
Funny Games made me deeply uncomfortable. I can’t really say that I “liked” it, it’s probably the most upsetting movie I’ve se
