I'm more worried about the process than the outcome.
@Men Are Human I think he's talking shoot5 elective euthanasia
Oh? I'm not a big fan of euthanasia, but I do understand where the euthanasia crowd are coming from.
Potential for missue and it becoming an obligation is high.
Hey guys, sorry if this isn't appropriate here but I'm 6 days into starting antidepressants (citalopram). Just feeling kinda grim.
Anybody know when this feeling goes away? I know it's supposed to take a month for any mood changes but I was wondering if the slide effects wear off faster
You may have to ride it out, or it could be you are on the wrong ones. I stayed away from the pills when I was depressed as I didn't want to become dependent on them. You should try going for walks if you can, it may lift your mood
I think you should talk to your doctor.
I've tried citalopram. Like pretty much all antidepressants, they just made me feel numb and weird. Takes ages to go through all the different types and such.
It depends on the severity of the side effects, but if they do get bad definitely speak to your gp. Some may go away with time, but not all of them.
I'm ok with weird and numb. Better than mental images of me bat the end of a rope. I was just quite nauseated. Eating has helped. Doing some reading it says it takes a week to get stable levels. Hopefully I'll start feeling normal soon.
I’m sick.
I don’t get ill often so when I get a cold, im wiped out.
My car was totalled.
Sucks
Need some support but not comfortable posting everything in a public Discord. If you want to help please dm. Thanks.
I just found out that a "friend" is a toxic feminist. What should i do?
Is she a close friend
I am unable to be friends with toxic feminists
It's not a big deal for me though since I'm introverted
Thankfully she isn't.
I think i'll just dump some facts on her and then block
It depends what you mean by toxic. I'm an anti feminist because I believe even people who are fair minded and just ignorant about how harmful feminism is do damage by supporting feminism. But that isn't to say people like that are bad people.
It's easy to dehumanize people you see as an enemy, but they are people
I guess it becomes toxic when it throws out logic
Like this whole "believe women" thing
That's toxic
So is complaining about the gender pay gap
Yep...
I like logic
Like Vulcans from star trek
Well ultimately I mean only not to base whether someone can be your friend only on if they call themselves a feminist. Most I probably couldn't be friends with, but some perhaps
It's possible you could talk her round a bit if you you were careful and gentle about it. You could show her an article on the pay gap maybe.
So girl that I’ve been close friends with lately and has treated me really well, she seems to care and she doesn’t make me support her, she makes sure to listen and helps take care of me when I just feel lost or need to talk, she obviously isn’t a psychologist so it’s not like that but recently she has been really stressed, after prying a lot I found out that she might be pregnant (I say might because she did something stupid 3 weeks ago and is waiting a week to be tested) she really didn’t want to tell me and tbh I just had a gut feeling to ask her if she was (after playing 21 questions) she is clearly scared and the dude is in a different province and they aren’t a couple (this was “break up sex” apparently) she says if she is she wants to keep the baby but she is so stressed and 18 and clearly she was being stupid and she insists I don’t owe her any support or anything like that and I can’t date her (I’m getting over my ex still and she knows that)
Anyways tldr, my friend might be pregnant doesn’t want support (more like doesn’t want me to feel like I have too cause she worries I help to much) but I want to know what my options are, thoughts?
Also in the other flank 2 other female friends are being petty and begging me for support and I care to much for humans to say no but the constant “id kill myself if....” card is minipulative and wrong so I need to stop letting them do that, but I’m just worried they will and I feel terrible when I don’t help but it’s clearly detrimental to my mental health and I just can’t keep doing this, I’m forced to stay up late wake up randomly.
Is it possible you might be the daddy?
100% not
I’m still a Virgin and for reasons just like this
Wait so the other friends are threatening to kill themselves if you don't help them financially?
It’s not financial
It’s emotional support
Oh
