I believe that it is not possible to cure someone else who has mental health issues, they can only be guided and shown support
I believe depends on the level of mental illness. Theres depression and then there’s Schizophrenia, Personality Disorder’s, PTSD and others that bring on aggression. I’ve Seen so many tranquilized and appeared more human without medication. Then I’ve watched a calm over those, who desperately needed a chemical balance.2 -
Re-Animator isn't a bad movie, and I get why it's a classic among horror fans, but I don't think I'll ever be able to love it the way a lot of horror fans do because I read Lovecraft's short story first and it was *so good* I always compare the two (and, as per usual...the book was better)2

its one of the few adaptations i see both versions as a classic.
the story is horrifying enough on its own, but the movie updated it and threw in some campiness and still kept it a classic.
it's hard to do that with so many books.
like for ex. i think the original Shining novel is boring and drags way too long. but the Kubrick movie is actually better despite taking so many liberties with the story.2 -

I've only ever watched half of it--maybe I wasn't in the right mood. I'm enjoying it. It's done well, the acting is good. The story *is* wildly different, while retaining the same core.
Much better adaption than "The Devil Doll" was to Burn, Witch, Burn! heh.0 -

Here's a different perspective. The fact that the student was high on drugs is more repugnant to me than the fact that he or she was carrying a gun.

As I was drove to work this morning I heard on the radio how this woman had her children taken away from her, from punishing one with a swirly! The other recorded it and posted it on social media. Obviously it went viral.0

I sabotage myself from ever getting 100% caught up at work and home because I can’t face the existential crisis that comes with realizing it was the process that fulfilled me and not the completion. I’m terrified to find myself asking “what now? what was it all for?”8

Absolutely. Deadlines are my jam because it means all my regular work is being neglected and will have piled up so that it takes weeks to get through it.
This last Wednesday i set a goal to clean the entire house top to bottom. I was genuinely amused when i got to the last thing on my list because it was like I couldn’t help myself stalling. I started doing the thing finally, after about half a dozen “important” distractions, but ultimately found a way to make it way more difficult than it needed to be and didn’t finish it.
I think it’s all because I love working, i love my job, and i truly fear retirement. I’ve been stressing about it all week tbh
Edit: seriously. What do people do when work IS their happy place? I don’t really have hobbies or other things I’m really passionate about.3 -

I wish I was this passionate about my job. I mean I like it overall but there are some days I leave crying from frustration. Maybe that’s not normal. Ha1 -

You are in my brain! Either get in or help lol! I've been thinking of this as well. I love my job and have been extremely busy the past 6 months that we brought someone on to help me. The new person is slowly getting up to speed on stuff and I've been sabotaging myself at work by simply pushing things off and doing other crap. I am too young to say I "fear" retirement but I will tell you I don't think I'll ever fully retire if that's what you are getting at.
Neither do I. I have some hobbies but nothing I'm extremely passionate about. And it's not like I'm not motivated as well its typically that I'm motivated by work.

So tell me what you live for. What gets you out of bed excited for the day? What makes the frustrating job worth dealing with?
This sounds horrible but people talk about spending time with their kids and stuff.. umm spending time with my kids is spent worrying about how badly I’m raising them. Thats my special mom-guilt time.1 -

I feel like this a lot, mainly due to my youngest being special needs and needs more assistance. I find myself constantly, envisioning what my older one feels and wish I had more patience with her ( I work hard on that daily). I do have moments, that remind me, I am doing a great job and that’s usually when I find her drawings from school. I just want both of them to be confident in themselves, live life with passion and be true to themselves.

You cannot even use the word “cure” when it comes to mental health. Once you start using that word it implies that there is some norm or way we’re meant to behave or feel. You can only use objective measures such as if it is affecting someone’s work and relationships. Medication can literally save somebody’s life and its utility cannot be understated. It’s complicated but I think ultimately the change has to come within but meds and therapy can help guide someone to a better place of wellbeing.6 -

Hugs lady
I've moved twice in the last 2 years and have paired down every single thing I own, got rid of almost all my stuff...except one box and 2 old laptops...its like I don't want to be "done"
...then what?
I used to have 3 days off in a row, but that was unhealthy for me...Im glad to go to work to have a 'norm' and 'schedule' even tho I want to call in sick every morning because I suck at mornings.
Its always Groundhog day for me, and it's good and sad at the same time.
I could go on way further, but I have to try to reign in my TMI posts...for now3 -

s
First year in my current job, I left and cried my eyes out, often...way too emotionally involved (which is and isn't a bad thing, I work with animals and people)
Now I sometimes have to do a "coffee run" to cry in my car (my preferred crying space) or just go to the bathroom and stand there to cry out of frustration at work (and for the record...Im not a crier, but in the last year Ive become one), sometimes. My job is relentless, sometimes, unless I can physically and mentally step away. And now it's sometimes personal too, not job related, Ive just become more emotional (which is good (I think)) I've been super closed off for a long time, even to myself.
Ha...ha, haaa
Just edited waay too much info before posting!!!!
(good job, Vikka!!. Im proud of me)4 -

I love you...youre honest and frank
I honestly think if I had kids (I don't have any) I think I'd resent them...I'm a horrible person, I guess,
