That story of the man who cried bc therapy didn’t work actually broke my heart. When people try to get better and it fails it just the most upsetting ting
It'd be nice if there was some kind of option for people like that. Like, "Okay, your time is up, you've spent the days you need to behind bars, but do YOU feel ready to go out into society?" Of course, many will say yes, but I think there'd be some who don't. Not that they'd stay in prison, but more like an open psych ward. Just people who fear they'll fall back into their old ways, so they want to be watched to prevent it.
@@jjcymbolic In Germany we have that kinda. People who have done their sentence but they feel, or its obvious that they will have a hard time to prevent themself from doing "Urge-Crimes" again live while being supervised. Either in special homes, or someone regulary looks after them and they work with psychologists etc. Our Prisons are also more set to rehabilitate their inmates, so that they can be as much part of the society as possible. th-cam.com/video/5uAIf_-rdMA/w-d-xo.html
Quite a number of psychologist actually have their own psychologist and in some places they made it as policy bcs of their srressful working environment. at least thats what my lecturer said
Doctor Mike says that he would not treat himself or family members since they are connected emotionally to him which hinders his performance as a doctor. He would let other doctors treat them instead. So i guess the same goes for psychologists.
Broke down crying because he was still aroused by the sight of a child after all the therapy...that's so hard. It's almost worse when pedophiles know that they're sick.
@curry flocka Not all of them, as Martin Luther King Jr said, “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” Similar logic applies here, a person born with morally wrong sexual urges that he cannot help but have shouldn't be condemned for a condition he was born with. If they give in to their urges and commit a heinous act then yes, they should hate themselves and as far as I'm concerned they probably deserve to die, but if they never give in then they don't deserve to be hated just because of a condition they never asked for.
Once while volunteering at a homeless shelter, I was serving dinner and this one guy kept staring at me and cycling through the line. He didn't talk to me, and he kept staring at my hair and chest (I was 15 but I had dd). He was really creeping me out. As people started to leave and he was still there. We started cleaning and he cornered me my the wall. I knew there could be some crazies and I was scared. H3 finally talked to me. "I'm sorry I keep staring at you. I can see you're scared. You just look so much like my friend who was shot in the head for being a Christian. You look so much like her you could be her." He then pointed at my chest to my necklace. "Her favorite color was green. And she loved turtles. I'm sorry I freaked you out." He then grabbed his stuff and left saying god bless us for our help.
Doctor Disney Wow! Do you think he just didn’t understand how to say it like a normal person? Some people with mental illnesses can comprehend what they want/are trying to say in their head but cannot physically express it and come off creepy, weird, and stalker-ish.
@@sarahburchfield4652 I dont know. I never saw him come back when i was there. I tried to talk to him afterwards but he didnt seem to want to talk to me any more. I know he didnt want to hurt me now but as a 15 year old who was scared of pretty much anyone who wasnt immediate family or friends I was scared and he could see that, which is why he apologized. I am not sure what he had but i am easily terrified.
Doctor Disney I don’t doubt the level of fear you probably had. I’m the same way, some of my friends say I’m the “jump at my own shadow” type person. Easily scared, frighted, and jumpy. I’m always shy to new people. I’m glad you still decided to continue with that work even after the incident. That takes a lot of guts and bravery. I don’t know if I would have, and I’m all for helping people and being there for my community.
Sorry for the long post: My uncle lives on his own, no wife and no kids, but has Schizophrenia. He was fine for ten years without incident on his meds, two years ago on the night of Christmas Eve all of my extended family met at my grandmother’s house. He picked up one of my aunts and an uncle-in-law on the way there. When he got there he seemed fine, talked to himself a bit but that’s not out of the ordinary even on his meds. Night goes fine he’s able to hold conversation, doesn’t drink more than 2 beers in the whole seven to eight hours he was there for. He leaves without a word (extremely out of the ordinary for him, he usually goes out of his way to say goodbye to everyone). Fast forward about one hour. We are all partying hard, by this point it’s about 1:00am the following day. And suddenly there is a call on the phone... at 1am... usually not good news. I answered it, we all thought it could have been my aunt he drove home saying she got home safe and wanted us to have fun. Well it was my aunt, telling us they got in a car accident because my uncle had wreaked the car. Apparently he hadn’t taken his meds in the past 3 weeks, of course no one knew this because he lives on his own so any outbursts he had he was alone. His voices were telling him he was being followed, hallucinating and seeing headlights behind him. He crashed the car into a telephone pole when he lost control. Still to this day every time I see him I wonder: is he on his meds? what’s going on in his head? Could this be the last time I see him? Who or what does he see that i don’t? It really fucks with me, it’s honestly hard for me to deal with. I can tell that the rest of my family is thinking the same way. He hasn’t had any known incidents since then, but we all just can’t let it go.
Going off meds is understandable, the side effects can be really terrible, and so can the intended effects for some people. He's really stuck between a rock and a hard place, and that's sad. I'm happy he survived the wreck and you still have him in your life.
Juliet Capulet the only issue is that he just forgot to take them one day and then because of his schizophrenia the voices he was hearing were telling him not to take them so he didn’t. Now my dad calls him or visits him once a week to check up on him.
Liam my best advice is to love the person who is in front of you right now instead of constantly waiting to see when he will have his next episode. Tell him everything you want him to know and that you love him when he is lucid. You have a right to all of your feelings ranging from fear to joy but try not to let your fear overwhelm the chances you have to be happy with your uncle. If you have ongoing concerns perhaps you could learn more about his diagnosis through websites like SAMHSA and asking him if there are ways to be more supportive. If the feelings you have toward this situation keep hurting you consider talking to a counselor or therapist yourself to get it off your chest. I sincerely wish you and your family all the best as you continue to heal from that uncomfortable night.
Trust me, make the effort, good to see that your dad goes and sees him regularly now. One of my very good mates had Schizophrenia and would go on and off his meds all the time. We were always able to tell when he was off them because the manic episodes would happen - throwing knives out the window to aerate the ground (??), chopping palm trees down at early hours of the morning and nearly knocking down power lines etc. At one point he was self medicating with illicit drugs and was kicked out of his accommodation because of this. He disappeared for 10 days and we had no idea where he was, unfortunately he was found deceased after one of our friends went to look for him at a local landmark. It's quite difficult to know what is going on in someone's mind at any time and in particular when they have a mental illness, I just wish I had of been there when he was falling apart to help him.
i read it as ginu wine psychopath, and i can't stop thinking of a person that'll stab you for saying a wine had a nutty flavor, WHEN IT CLEARLY HAS EARTHY FLAVOR YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!
I don't understand why they don't get the option of being castrated, like you do with pets not with medication. It sounds like some of those men would happily do it, and everyone would be safer if they did
I'm not sure if some people are just not aware of this but it's possible to have empathy for people who are struggling without approving of their actions, kids. Just because someone feels bad that other people struggle with horrendous thoughts and compulsive behaviors doesn't make them "sympathizers" of those thoughts and actions. Jeez, there's no reason to go so hard at people who simply feel bad that these illnesses exist and affect people who really are trying not to be influenced by them.
Dude made a horrible mistake, one he will regret for the rest of his life. He thought he was getting better, to make up somewhat for what he did.. and, nope, he's still sick in the head. I feel bad and I don't. Castration really seems like a good answer for people like this man.
I worked in a Mental Hospital at the beginning of my career. I was a young woman who looked even younger so most of the big “scary” guys were oddly protective of me most of the time. I’ve only had one or two that scared me but the scariest was the one who actually tried to strangle me. He was a small man in a wheelchair who had severe brain damage after being hit by a car when he was quite young and was very psychotic. Long story short he’d incorporated me into his delusion. He believed we’d once been married, I’d divorced him and now he wanted me back but since I would not have him he wanted to kill me. Anyway in group therapy (he was in every group I ran even after this because my jerk of a boss found the whole thing amusing) this person leapt out of his chair, over a table and had his hands in a grip around my neck. (Thankfully only got some scratches) . The big “scary” guys did not know how to react but thankfully one guy (cute little man who could barely speak) ran for help.
Here’s a tip. When I was young, around 10 or 11, I was classed as a sociopath. I knew i was a sociopath and I tried really hard to become friendly because I used to get very aggressive and shouty really easily, I also didn’t feel as much emotion as you would but I was quite sensitive and really self conscious. A good tip is to not tease someone who would be classed a sociopath or a psychopath about it because it would make it much worse. Instead, be supportive and stick with them. It light take a while but eventually the mentally ill would be mentally ill no longer and will try to gain sympathy and empathy as well as have a positive view on people Edit: I also found out I am more of a sociopath but have traces of a psychopath
Genuine question what is the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? The two terms seem to be used interchangeably nowadays Sorry if I'm being ignorant it isn't intended to be
Just a small story. I knew somebody who dated a man with sexual attraction towards minors. We didn't know until one Christmas at his(my friend's) sisterr's, who had two small kids. The guy was there, and after admitted his attraction but that he would never touch a child, admitting that was sick, and then broke up with my friend because he didn't want himself around children. As far as I know he's been to therapy and has been getting better, so shout out to that guy for actually being a decent human being.
It breaks my heart that there are people attracted to children that don't want to be. It's always horrible and disgusting obviously...but I think of those that were born that way or abused themselves and don't want to be like that. Someone crying because all their work and all that time away meant nothing....it's so sad. Of course I feel far more for the children and they are always the priority...but you can't control what you're attracted to...and when people have such horrendous ones but don't want them...it's just really unfortunate. I hope there can be a real cure someday so no one has to live with that but more importantly kids can be safer.
@@SupremeCommanderBaiser I get where you're coming from but that is really inhuman and a slippery slope if we start allowing those kinds of punishments. Also...is there a female form even? Because there are female pedophiles and I don't think that would quell that issue anyway.
@@TonksRules Tying the tubes? I think there's a hormonal thing for females too. I personally don't find it inhumane- if it helps you being part of society why not? Is it better to be locked up all your life?
@@zlatkakardaleva5738 Tying a woman's tubes doesn't stop them from feeling any sexual feelings or acting out on them (to be honest I don't know if castration does for men either). It only (if done correctly) prevents you from getting pregnant (and I think they wouldn't have periods any more? But that I'm also unsure of). But I suppose there might be something hormonally you could do? And that would be different I suppose if you could just shut off all sexual feelings...I just don't know if there's actually a way to do that. Also...I mean...if someone has touched children I'm totally down with them being locked up forever. If they haven't...then yeah...having an option that could help them still somewhat be normal would be better than that...but it also shouldn't be forced if they haven't actually committed a crime yet.
Yeah, I don't know about you, but if my last memory of someone was complied of being held down by a shapeshifter, a giant needle and butt play, I'd be a little off too trying to recognize that familiar face.
If I'm that shapeshifter guard and see a former patient, that last thing I'm thinking about is spending another second at that bar. Pay my tab, leave, and pray that I was not spotted and recognized.
@@szandorkane6372 Yes, I would leave the public bar with a terrifying former psych patient to a public outside and attempt to escape from possible harm. You'd stick around?
@@92jwiener Well, I assumed it would be later in the evening considering it's a bar, so chances are there is no public outside! Just saying that staying put and avoiding them in a crowd might be better than getting out into the dark street by oneself.
@@szandorkane6372 1 - he's out in the world and such has obviously been deemed "better"... an escape of a man like that would have been news. 2 - he was in the middle of a break when everything happened to him, it's likely the memory he was trying to process was just barely there... he saw the face, got an emotion from it, and couldn't put it all together.
you should have responded with "I typically get that response from people who think Freud was anything more than a mysogynist pig who was also a drug addict that had sex with his sister"
It can be, because not every med works the same for every person. That's why it's important to keep working at it. I went through 6 diff meds before they found one that worked for my anxiety and PTSD. A friend of mine is Bipolar and has had the same problem, she works so hard to make sure she gets what she needs to be ok.
Tanya F I have been on 13 different medication combinations in the past 3 years, but I believe I have found the perfect combination. I still get panic attacks but not once a week like before.
All the ones about the child offenders makes me want to vomit I have a little sister and I just can’t imagine if anything happened to her. Some people in this world are so corrupted
The guy who married women with daughters, just to rape them... WTF .... Thats actually the Most fucked up thing Ive heard in a while.... Its absolutley disgusting. I also have a little sister, so this stuck very close to the heart. We're not kids anymore but this reminded me of how much I love my little sister and never want anything bad happening to her... she's told me before that if anyone would rape her, she would commit suicide, because she cant even imagine living with that pain. People who rape defenceless children deserve nothing more than getting baked alive in the fucking oven... a fucking 6 year old! WTF. AGH. Im fucking triggered just hearing that one... lol..
@@siegpasta - My father did that. Married a mentally unstable woman with two girls. The youngest was closer to his preferred age, but was too well-adjusted socially for him to groom, while the other was borderline too old for his grooming, but was depressed and lonely, making her a giant, neon-lit target nontheless. He went to prison for child molestation before he had time to do anything, but the woman still married him when he was released a few years ago and stayed living with him... It was all very depressing and bizarre.
@@hornypolice7994 Yes, but that's too quick. They need to suffer. Knock them out, maybe cut them so they bleed a little and put them in a room with a big python.
I seriously feel bad for people who go to therapy or rehab and are genuinely glad they're getting back on track and then see something or do something they regret
15:50 This one made me feel so bad for the guy. Imagine trying so hard, only to feel like all you efforts are for nothing. I hope he can still have a good life.
At least he tried getting help. Serously, you kids constantly hating on people who have pedophilic thoughts but really dont want to act on them. Your hate is not redusing us or helping us. Im a 17 year old who had ocd and i'm afraid of becoming a pedophile. If i do, I wont be able to get any help because of the stigma. I never asked for it, I want to get rid of it. With no sympathic help, we will ether kill ourselfs or eventually commit the crime.
The creepiest encounter for me: one night I was walking in a dollar store by my self (I was about 12) I was going by myself bc I just needed to get one thing real quick and my dad was just outside in the car. So I knew exactly where it was so I went straight to the back of the store. A man who looked like he was in his forty’s also went to the back of the store with no cart or basket. I wasn’t bothered by it whatsoever bc I also didn’t have a basket or cart so maybe he was just getting something in the back of the store. But of course I was paranoid so I went to the side of the store acting like I didn’t notice...he followed. I went to the front and then back again to act like I was asking a worker a question....he followed again. Take in mind that this whole time he hasn’t grabbed a single thing to buy. So there I was panicking praying to god that it wasn’t what I thought it was. My dad came in to check on me sense I was taking so long and it wasn’t until then and only then that the guy walked out of the store. So was I just being paranoid? You tell me
Karenater3000 This sounds like an AITA reddit post XDDD If he was honest following you throughout the store like you say, I don’t think you were just paranoid. It seems like he was waiting for the perfect moment of vulnerability to lure you away. He probably realized at some point you were a hard target because all of your moving around showed you may be aware of his presence and an active, not easy to fool person
@@caminantedonquixote2363 maybe he also followed her because he waited for her to get out. He probably thought she was an easy target because she would probably walk home alone but as soon as her father showed up he left because he knew he wouldn't stand a chance..
I used to be a special ed teacher’s assistant and there was this kid I worked with for most of the school year that I was terrified of. He had a developmental disorder and there were things he wasn’t capable of comprehending. He wasn’t bad when he was calm and happy. If things didn’t go his way or he was stopped from doing something he wanted to do (mostly to comply with school rules) it was like a switch was flipped in him. He would attack me with nothing held back. I would leave with bites when I tried to restrain him the way I was trained. I got slapped in the face several times while waiting for backup. The worst one was he didn’t want to get on the bus and I was just trying to send him home. I had called on my walkie talkie for back up and in trying out distance between the kid and I, turned my back on him. BIG MISTAKE. He slapped me across the back just right that I had to miss two days of work because I was in so much pain. The school had to pay 2k for my chiropractor treatment. That year I quit to go back grad school in the fall. He was a fifth grader.
MelissaProh I’m a special education paraeducator in a preschool. Fairly recently I had a student in my morning class who had some unknown trauma before he was adopted and no impulse control to speak of. He would go after kids at the drop of a hat and relished in the attention he got for doing things he knew he wasn’t supposed to, grinning the entire time he was doing it. Even when we were keeping an eye on him it was hard to predict what he would do, and he once managed to injure four other students before we could get to him. Another time he was talking to my coworker about how much he hated his bus driver and said sometimes he just wished he could push her off the bus. When my coworker told him not to talk like that he tried to backtrack by saying “uh, I mean, I wish I could push MYSELF off the bus.” This kid was four years old. Let’s just say I wasn’t too upset when he was transferred to another classroom.
Maybe you can help me understand. At what point does the safety of the other students and staff override the right or requirement of an education for a violent student. Is it government regs?
The only person that ever scared the hell out of me I met when I was in the US Navy. He was an average size guy that you would not notice and he was very educated but had a very odd reaction when he saw someone do anything he considered Dishonorable. When witnessing a dishonorable act (like multiple people attacking one guy) his entire persona would change, he didn't even talk the same, and he would attack with maximum effort. When I say maximum effort I mean destroy the person as fast as possible. The funny part is when the fight was over he never remembered it.
@@whatisahandlebruh If he was in "Battle Mode" he didn't feel pain, was full of adrenaline, and knew more about unarmed combat than I ever wanted to know. He never lost, injured yes but never lose.
The 5'3'' _security guard_ who claims legs are easy to restrain is either making the entire thing up, or has never physically restrained a non-compliant person.
I dont know how many feet, but im 1.65meter tall. Worked in a emergency psych home. And we where short staffed and i was an intern. So usually not in the for ground of physical restraints. But this one girl, typical german farmer girl. Wa freaking out and i had to restrain the tol of one arm. Fuck i had to put my whole weight into it and avoud the head and fingers. But humand that dont want to be restrain have a lotnof power. They knocked her out for a goor 28 hours and after that she was a peach and super sweet. Did not remember a thing
5:36 honestly, that story made me think of cases of so-called 'possession' that I have heard of. I feel so bad for all the people who were deemed 'demonically possessed' because the people around them simply didn't understand that it was just something wrong in their brain.
My therapist has admitted to me that there was one time where I truly scared him in a session. It was the appointment where he decided I needed to be hospitalized for the first (and so far, only) time because when he asked if he should do so (because I was informing him I was very suicidal at the time), I said with dead negative affect in my voice that I didn’t care if he did or not, but if he or anyone else wanted me to live for whatever reason, I’d recommend it because I could not promise I wouldn’t attempt anything. After I was released and started doing better, he told me that had been the only time he was terrified for me and afraid he wouldn’t be able to help me.
Worked as a psych nurse for 13 years. Only time I was afraid was the time we had 6 foot 8 350 pound male patient coming from prison. Had gotten into a fight with another inmate during lunch and anucleated him with a plastic spoon and then proceeded to eat the eyeball. When we admitted him he was in four point leather restraints and sedated. Put him in the seclusion room restrain him to the bed shut the door and turned on the cameras to watch him. Half an hour later I was making rounds look through the glass in the door and he was staring at me at the glass with the bed frame still attached to him staring at me.
In the psych hospital we worked at, to avoid patient mistreatment, us techs would have to be watching the patient in the same room as them. Was so fucking hard when they were aggressive and we were understaffed so one of us would end up watching a person for hours at a time. Even worse when a nurse didn’t care to check in on us cause the quiet areas were so far from the nurse’s station and the Head Nurse decided we didn’t need panic buttons lol
Had one lady who kept wriggling out of her restraints because her hands and wrists were shaped weird and we weren’t allowed to tie the restraints “too tight”
McSnezzly u sure u aren’t the psych patient? You are an abusive bully. If you had any morals whatsoever you’d apologize to her for what you said. It’s a joke how you think you came out on top when really all you did was reveal your weakness.
I'm a psychologist and I "treated" a 12yo boy who was in the path of becoming a psychopath. He played with knives, he molested other kids, he lied through his teeth like it was nothing. I'm afraid of the man he's going to be.
About... 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more.... My husband and I (boyfriend at the time) were at my Mils house, my brother in law was about 8 or 9, we got into the conversation of babies, we said that a baby would cry alot My brother in law spoke up laughing "well if the baby did that I'd just rip it apart" ... We were stunned at his comment Completely freaked me out, especially since he laughed as he said it, he then said he was joking but added under his breath as quietly as he could "or was i?" A year later after it would have been forgotten (by him at least) I was baby sitting when he randomly said "you know i didnt mean it when I said I'd rip your baby apart, i was joking" we hadn't even been talking at the time... So yea long story short, when i have a baby I ain't leaving him alone with it
@Jake Jordan he was a genuinely scary kid sometimes, he got in trouble with the police too, threatened to kill himself, put washing up liquid in the kettle in an attempt to poison his mum, i had every reason to be worried
I was a paramedic. One night we got called to a local "zoo" (only animals that live in my area, deer donkeys etc.) because a man lit a fire in one of the enclosures. We were sent there alongside two police cars. The guy was standing by a fire in the donkey enclosure, machete in hand mumbling to himself. When we went up to him he didn't do anything he seemed to be kind of mesmerized by the donkeys. We asked him what he was doing here so late and he introduced himself as "little donkey" and said he had talked to the donkeys and they had told him to "show them the wonder of fire" and he obliged. We wanted to know why he brought the machete which he still had in his hands and he said he didn't know. He went into the ambulance with us without resistance. He was brought to a psychiatric ward and as far as I know he's a pretty normal dude when he's medicated. I have no proof of this because I lost my phone on which I had a photo of the "additional comments" section of the police protocol that tells this story. And although no one got hurt this scared the shit out of me.
"I was hoping he would be in a much better place." Oh my friend, schizophrenia does not get better with time, I am sad to say. Though him being alive at all is a good sign. Men with schizophrenia have often found themselves on the fatal end of police confrontations. I dated someone with schizophrenia for 8 years. And nothing about that illness is pleasant. The whole medication process is interesting. She hated her meds, because she hated feeling numb. But it was basically choosing a life of numbness or bipolar madness. And as selfish as it sounds. Being the full-time breadwinner AND full-time caregiver to her illness--knowing that she isn't suicidal 24/7 makes life a lot easier. So I always hate it when people stop using their meds. Even though I know that being numb sucks. The problem with mental-illness at that level is you really need a legit care-giver. And it's almost impossible to work full time 40+ hours and make sure that someone's taking their meds and not doing something catastrophic like suicide attempts, assaulting people, or straight out destroying property. No one wants to come home to all of their windows smashed in, because the person with schizophrenia thought the windows were keeping the air from getting into the house. You know? Unless you're a fucking millionaire--you can't afford to have them doing thousands of dollars of damage on a monthly basis. And to make it worse, if they can't hold down a job--that's not living. That's torture for the significant other. If someone taking their meds is the difference between being numb and predictable compared to violent, destructive, and suicidal. I'll take a numb person anyways. Then they can't hurt those around them. ================== I stayed with my ex way longer than I should have. As a guy. I felt like it was my duty and obligation to make sure she didn't commit suicide or become homeless. What was I gonna do? kick her out and make her homeless? She'd do something insane for sure! Anyways, enough ranting. We did split mutually when she started crushing on some poor sap, and I encouraged her to chase that lead. It was probably the best ending I could have hoped for. But make no mistake, schizophrenia is one hell of an illness.
I had a friend with schizophrenia. He committed suicide about a year ago. 😔 he had attempted it before, and he would say that the voices would convince him that his family was in danger and the only way to save them was to kill himself. It's a terrible illness. I know he's home with Jesus now, though, free from it all.
@@CassTeaElleI'm sorry to hear that, pal. That's awful. My best friend has it. Doesn't take his meds, I don't blame him really. They destroy his appetite and don't work as well as they should. It is indeed a helluva illness. Sometimes makes him violent towards himself and others, it totally sucks. But h'know, we manage, he deals with it best he can.
There are drugs to treat your fear, and it's pretty scary that people like you are allowed to just *feel scared* when you could be drugged for the rest of your life instead.
@@MizTameRumors It's fine for anyone to feel scared of anything, until they decide it's a problem and decide to seek help for it. Calling it "scary" that some people aren't medicated can easily be reversed, and "but *I'm* normal" is a flimsy defense that's hardly ever worked. If OP thinks some people having their medical autonomy respected is "scary," then maybe he needs some education on what it feels like to have *his* taken away.
I honestly felt bad for the prisoner who got aroused after therapy and whatnot. It sounds like he really wants/wanted to change. We can’t really pick what we’re into, and I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for someone who really wants to change. I hope these people get the help they need.
11:20 A city nearby recently had a psychotic patient murder a doctor with a hatchet. With a full waiting room, including children. And this is NOT "one of those' cities, it's a happy little Canadian city. edit: forgot to add! When the killer was on the stand, he asked for a doctor. The judge dismisses him and said "Well, you killed him."
As someone who suffers from a semi-severe case of multiple personality schizoactive disorder. I can say that when the voices start, it's almost impossible to get them to stop. You can't ever blame someone who is psychoactive for their episodes. They often times aren't even behind the wheel anymore. These people in their heads WILL try to do anything to bring harm to themselves or others. They may even kill someone if you're not safe. I often have to hold back the urges to self-harm, and occasionally I even scream back at the voices uncontrollably. It sucks. There's no way to make them stop. Just try to be patient with them and, of course, if you feel as if your life is in danger get the F out
I didn't have psychosis or any similar illnesses but as a child I would always see people that weren't there and hear weird voices (it turned out to be some sort of blood clot in my brain that wasn't discovered and somehow didn't kill me... All it did was make me see things that weren't there, we only found it when I was 16 as I was getting migraines so bad I couldn't sleep.. And after many years my hallucinations returned.. It stopped when I was around 8.... We went to a doctor as now it was clear it's not just a sacred delusional child) sometimes I'd see groups of people around my bed at night who would chant in a weird language (as an adult your smart-ass here thought she was possessed or at least her room was haunted) id scream my head off and they'd jump at me and disappear into shadows as my parents entered my room, I'd hear voices telling me that I'm going to hell and that my family is the one who will send me to hell to take their place.... I'd cry and beg my dad to not send me to hell (I'm closer with my dad.... And he'd be the one next to me most of the time in an instant whne I scream.... My mom had odd shifts at work) going near my closet was a no-no but the worst was the bathroom... I'd fucking rather piss myslef than enter than bathroom unsupervised.. Hell even then I wouldn't even open my eyes.... I hated showering but I loved the water so it was weird behavior of me (nobody believed that I could actually see things) needless to say it was horrible and scary... There was one constant 'demon' that was called 'Chrone' Idk how did I get this name.. But it was terrifying he would stand as a human but he had a nearly animal like body proportion sometimes he'd act like a dog.. He'd do anything a dog would do in a normal behavior... That one stuck with me the nearly entire time... What scared me to hell and back was seeing it crouch (like a gorilla would) next to my family members, his hands with long Boney demonic hands would reach for them and sometimes a long tongue would slither outta its mouth and lick them (needless to say I was terrified of the tongue thing Orochimaru (a character from Naruto) does when I was younger) Chrone was my continuous nightmare till I was 8... It was terrifying when I was 16 and all of a sudden I entered a room with some family members and saw Chrone standing there staring me dead in the eyes like 'I'm back' and slowly a sickening grin stretched across his face (he had the sharpest big teeth and wide mouth (I didn't take so kindly to the little red ridding hood wolf grandma story as a child).. The type you don't wanna see in something that's in the same room as you) I just froze till I was asked what's wrong and I started hyperventilating after not answering at all....at that time I pretty much already convinced myslef that I imagined it all as a child.... It went on for about a year and something till I went to the doctor and we found the clot and it was treated... Thank God I never saw him again after that (it was a terrible year.... As believe it or not adults are more terrified of demons than kids... And have way more things that talking hullicinations can scare then with)
I worked security at a middle school. There was a special needs student, I'll call him Hugo, that was incredibly strong for his size. It was superhuman how strong Hugo was. The staff and other security were scared of Hugo because of his tantrums. One day while watching Hugo I jokingly put my thumb and index finger in front of my eyes pretending to grasp a fellow guard by the head and move them side to side. The other guard played along as if being controlled by me. Hugo laughed so I asked if I should crush his head and the guard held the side of their head in pain as if I were squeezing it. Hugo asked me not to pop his head so I stopped. I told them to say thank you to Hugo for saving their life. We all thought it was a joke, that is until the next time Hugo misbehaved. I was called and as soon as Hugo saw me he stopped misbehaving and cried out "Please don't pop my head, I'll be good!" I had a lot of 'splaining to do.
That guy who burst into tears. It's really depressing to know that he knew he was sick and wanted to get better, but had his soul crushed when he realised he wasn't.
Not a psychologist but I sometimes have extreme mood swings. I once threw a table 2 meters to a teacher of me and afterwards I cried for 5 hours because I hated myself for it and I scared myself so hard.
Random story I remembered: When I was in middle school art class, there was a kid who cut another kid with scissors on the hand. He was taken to the back of the room and I heard the teacher ask why he did that. I remember him saying, sounding pretty calm, "I told him if he put glue on my hand again I'd cut him. He did, so I did" or something to that affect.
Oh wow, the room set up at the place where I see my shrink and my therapist makes so much more sense now. They have easy access to doors, while I don't or would have to do a bit of fanagling if I or any other patient tried to go at them. I never realized that's why the rooms are set up the way they are, I just thought it was a strange agreement on how the rooms should be set up. This explains so much to my derp brain.
I can totally understand the story about the Psychologist who denied parole to that high ranking gang member. Being an ex-convict, and an ex-gang member, I have been around this, and it's a pretty common belief among true convicts/gang members that our worlds are completely different, and you can't be mad for them doing their jobs. Now, if another inmate doesn't pay a gambling debt, or drug debt...sorry for that person!
I had a psychotic breakdown two years ago, and I declared a personal war on any word derived from “pater” (Latin for father). Patrician, patriarch, patron, Patreon, paternity- THEY WERE ALL GOING DOWN. I’ve been psychosis free since then. Turns out my personal word war didn’t accomplish much.
A childhood friend of mine's step father had some sort of mental breakdown once when I was visiting him. He yelled at me and my friend to get in the pantry away from the windows. We did what he said and he followed us in, genuinely scared out of his mind. He said there were men outside with guns and laser sights. He would start throwing things out the door apparently trying to hit one of the men. I was there handing him stuff to throw since I was just a kid and didn't realize what was going on... I wasn't scared but simply confused since I didn't see or hear anything he was talking about. In the end everything was fine (Though there was quite a mess to pick up) and it didn't bother me in the least. I jokingly called him Mr. Crazy... Though now I realize that's a shitty name to give someone whose legitimately has mental problems. Though I didn't mean anything by it.
I once met a woman who was disabled since birth, she would go up to people, adults or older looking teens usually, put her hand on their stomach and asked "Baby?" When you answered no, she would ask if it "got put down the drain too" No one knows what she is talking about
The thoughts and ideas in my head about how or why she would ask these are just heartbreaking. Did she miscarry or, had had an abortion at some point in her life? I hope it wasn't from someone abusing her.
Not me, but my brother. He was a trainee psychologist and had to go to a prison to train. On vacation, we went to Miami, which is in a different country from where we live. When he returned, one of the inmates asked him how Miami was. My brother had been very careful not to mention where he’d go for spring break. He denied it saying he’d stayed home, but whether it was a lucky guess or the inmate knew something, we never found out. My brother has now “graduated” from prison evals.
During my service I heard a report of a private that was known to be unstable due to PTSD, his unit members constantly tried to tell him he should see a therapist, the day after he went to a therapist he snuck a frag into the barracks and ended up blowing himself up, two others were k*lled, one guy lost a leg and half an arm and four more in critical condition.
When my brother was 16, he tried to commit suicide, but did not go through with it. Was hospitalized and released with depression. A few weeks later we were at church for confrimation, choir practice, and handbells practice. He ran home after his confirmation class and his friend told me to call home. Turns out, he was having a manic episod and was on the roof of our house with a knife. My sister, who was in 6th grade, had to grab an 8ft ladder to get him down wirh my mom's help. Hospitalised again with bipolar disorder. I saw him that night in the unit and he was talking non stop. Freaky for my family!
While I was a patient at a psyche hospital this one lady told me I looked like her grandson. We chatted for a few minutes about what he and I did and comparing them. She really didn’t seem like she belonged there. But then we kept having the same conversation every time we saw each other (3-4 times a week) but the way she described her grandson was different each time. When a friend of mine came in to visit she said he looked like her grandson. We look nothing alike
My mother’s best friend who at this point I had considered to be a aunt had a creepy boyfriend at the time that terrified me. Once when I was eight and moving into my new house with there help they all went off to do something in the garage and I was left alone with him. As we were standing there he pulled his knife out of his pocket opened it and just stared at me. At one point he started moving closer and I ran off to my mother. She didn’t believe and neither did anyone else but I know what I saw. The dude had always sent off creepy vibes to me and this made it so much worse.
I spent a week in a psych hospital in February. Almost every patient there was very nice to me. The only patient I didn't talk with was...very stubborn. He didn't do anything but watch tv and eat. He didn't want to participate in activities or group talk or anything.
I've been in a couple mental health hospitals and due to medicine reaction I had a violent hallucination. I was going to the bathroom to shower around 9pm. Since I was there for self harm there were only a shower curtain instead of a door to a bathroom. Usually shared room but my room mate was released so I felt comfortable showering. As I walked in I set my hygiene basket on the sink, I glanced up at the mirror and seen my reflection grin wide (Which being goth and depressed I don't do often) then watched as my reflection slit her throat. Unnatural to me, I just stared at the mirror(Horror fan) the check nurse seen me and asked what I was doing and I looked at her calmly and Said: Other me found a knife and slit get throat. Needless to say she backed out quickly and got the psychiatrist before she left for the night. The psychiatrist sat with me and was clearly weirded out but was professional. New meds, new doctor and lots of paperwork afterwards I was sent home a week later. I should of freaked out, but was so hopped on tranquilizer meds I was more intrigued than scared. Never had it since. Anti psychotic meds are not for everyone.
So basically what I'm getting is that medication will more than likely make shit worse. I was on meds for anxiety and panic attacks. It made it so much worse to the point I had a complete break down after going to a concert with my husband and because we were in public, it made it worse because of the embarrassment. Got off those asap!
In middle school one of our school police officers used to stalk me, touch my face and hair a lot. He talked about how much i reminded him of his wife and wouldn't leave me alone.
11:13 oh my god I’m in nursing school and one of the first rules they tell you is never let them get between you and the door. It’s one of the first things you’re told, and if they do you’re supposed to do whatever it takes to get to that door, especially if you feel threatened.
So I’m not a psychologist, but I was working security at a hospitals psyche ward where patients come in and do 72 hour sit ins so they don’t kill themselves. This lady comes in with a male (idk who he was) and they scared the living shit out of us and the other patients. The both of them would bang on the windows, scream at us for having cameras in the rooms, and we’re just generally unpleasant. One of the wives of a different patient actually left the room and told us she was scared because the accompanying male was threatening to hurt and possibly kill the doctors.
So my favorite band just released new music today and I'm at a sleepover and people are still asleep. I wanna listen to it so bad but don't wanna wake anyone. So here I am, watching without sound and reading the stories.
Not even close to the stories in the video, but one time I got out at a metro station with a couple of friends and for some reason we got separated by a bunch of extremely drunk (maybe drugged) guys. So I shouted to my friends, who were behind the drunk men to keep up with me. One of the drunks thought I said something to him and aggressively said to fuck off or something like that. I know it's not really scary, as it was in the middle of the day and other people were walking by but still. In that moment I was really scared, my friends were behind those men, so even if they were to do something, they wouldn't be able to help me, and nobody else seemed to care. In hindsight, I think they were way too intoxicated to be able to seriously do something.
My mother was working nightshift in a psychiatric home. There were no "difficult" cases. With one exception. During one nightshift my mother was alone, because most of the patients were quiet or already asleep. She wandered through the hallway, checking if all patients were in their rooms. Pretty quiet night so far, so she turns around - and the patient stood right in front of her. Most of the time this one patient wasn't harmful at all, she would mumble but wouldn't talk a clear word. But she had her 'phases'. That meant she was still quiet, but extremely aggressive, cold and she would speak clear sentences. Things you could understand easily, but things you wish you couldn't hear. "You know I'm going to kill you, right? Nobody will notice, and nobody will suspect me, right? And now please be quiet, okay?". She then started to grab for my mothers neck and first tried to strangle her, but when she knew she couldn't (bc my mum tried her best to cover her throat while screaming) the patient then tried to break her neck. Luckiliy my mothers shift was over in 5 minutes, and a co-worker heard her screaming. She immediately called the police and helped my mum. My mum doesn't work there anymore. Thank god...
Im a nursing student and during my posting in a mental health center i heard of a patient who took a small blade and slit her stomach from one side to the other. The nurses found her with her guts spilling out, still alive surprisingly. They bind her abdomen and rush her to the doctor. . the worst part according to them was that she never even cried or shouted, just sat still.
When I was a Freshman, one of my best friends (who happened to be a year older than me) was friends with this guy, “Chad”, who was three years older than my friend, making him four years older than me. “Chad” was a senior at a different high school in a different town but lived in the same district as my friend and I. During one of our high school football games I had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting “Chad”. My friend introduced us and IMMEDIATELY after introduction “Chad” asks me, “So....do you have a boooy frieeed???” It was said in such a way that had alarm bells going off in my head. I told him that I wasn’t looking nor wanted a boyfriend, which was true. Even my friend chipped in saying that I’ve went on whole tangents about it. “Chad” tried not to look disappointed but I could see it. The topic was dropped. My friend was completely oblivious to this the whole time. Eight years later sense that night I saw on the news that he was arrested for assault and battery of a woman who was trying to break up with him. I did some digging on him and it turns out he has two active restraining orders and a long laundry list of charges from stealing to domestic violence cases. Normally one would say that ‘I dodged a bullet with this one’ but he never even had a chance with me because he made my Creepdar go off so much whenever I saw him!
The girl who has phychosis made my heart break.. I have huge respects for women specially the loving and caring ones and it just pains me to hear such a tragic event for such a lovely person as described
Yeah, I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, depression, anxiety, and since August last year, horrible grief. I see a GP once a week and have grief counseling and counseling at the MS Society once a fortnight. I was also seeing a psychologist but my relationship with her didn't feel right. It was also very difficult to get to for someone who doesn't drive. Now I only have 6 free sessions left for the year and my GP is trying to find a new one for me. She made me feel like it was my fault for not getting better.. I also have a psychiatrist for the medication aspect of it, and he upped my dose of antidepressant and also added a nighttime antidepressant to the rotation. I don't feel any better, really, try as I might. So I feel like a lost cause! I lost my mum in 2014, she was unwell and passed March 16th, 2 days after her birthday and 2 days before my dad's. And a lot of other birthdays in March. Unfortunately, he had got a small amount of some really strong heroin, and had an OD. He said he really missed my mum and "I just wanted to feel happiness again, I haven't in a long time." Cut to a week later, I wake-up at about 11AM, ask my youngest brother, 17 at the time, where dad was. He said he had heard noises from his room a bit earlier. I immediately cut a bit of plastic and jimmy open the door, to find him sitting there, cold to the touch. He had promised us nothing like that would happen again.. Now I am alone in the world, with just my siblings. Family live far off and the support stopped pretty fast as everyone went back to their own lives and family. Sorry for the crappy story, I could just relate a lot to almost being told things like that. It was kinda cathartic to write it out, though. I don't really expect anyone to read this and it'll be buried. I did want to let you know that a part of my healing has been to distract myself, and I binge watch them until I fall asleep! Lots of love from a young Aussie lady! Keep up the great content!
Wow. Just...wow. Ok first of all sorry for your losses and I hope you and your siblings have been able to into some degree of normalcy. Second I just needed to write an answer to let you know that someone did read your comment. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through but I don't believe that you are a lost cause. You want to be better and are doing everything you can to accomplish that goal. That is not the sign of a lost cause. That is the sign of a fighter. But sometimes the way how you fight is just as important as the will to fight. You just haven't found the right way yet. I believe that your GP knows this but doesn't know the right way either. Which is why she is or has been handing you to someone else who might know a way for you to better fight. So don't give up. Keep fighting and I wholeheartedly believe that you will get better. Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday you will. I don't know if my comment will help you in anyway or not but maybe just knowing that someone believes in you is a step in the right direction. I hope I didn't offend you or bored you with my rambling or opinions.
I’m hoping to get into university to study psychology starting next year. I’d love to be a psychologist. I found these stories very interesting and they gave me some things to think about. One thing in particular being, should I become a psychologist in the future, the importance of disconnecting myself from how I may feel about something a patient tells me in order to maintain professionalism. And also being prepared for the possibility of being told things I really wouldn’t like to hear.
One of my ex’s took so much acid that he was stuck in a permanent hallucinations. He could function most of the time but there was some scary episodes where he wasn’t okay. During one of them, he had taken TWO more tabs even though I was begging him not to because the doctors told him he would mess his brain up more! He called me in the middle of a panic attack talking about the bus goblins and how they wanted to control him to hurt me. I was in complete shock and didn’t know how to calm him down. I just kept asking what I could do and he said just keep talking so they wouldn’t infect his mind. I started talking about my day and I had cut my hand. He flipped out and said because I said the word blood that everything was blood to him now. The call went quiet for a few seconds and then he started screaming gibberish. I freaking started crying and his mom eventually came to check on him. She brought him to the hospital and I broke up with him afterwords cause his delusions got more and more scary about me. Happily two years out of that two month relationship and never wanna go back
the story about the 6'5" MMA fighter is blatantly not true. you cant just leave a psych ward especially if youre in the unit for being legally considered to be a potential danger to yourself or others. everything is locked down, those places are built like prisons with constant surveillance and cameras and a whole security team ready to deescalate a situation or hold you down and give you a shot that knocks you out.
BySam yeah I was so confused about that. I’ve visited a mental hospital before and it is not easy to just walk out of there without clearance or supervision
Oh hey, one I can respond to, so, I was at the ER after my dad broke his back(I think that was it I've been to the ER a lot lol) This guy comes in, covered in cuts and smelling heavily of booze, he sits next to me, some random 14-15 year old kid, and just starts talking, I zone out and look around for someone to help me just in case the guy got aggressive, he never did. I asked him what happened, he told me his tv attacked him, and got up and walked out.
I have a ton of stories from when I worked in a 4 story nursing facility, night shift for 10 years. A lot of them turn into completely different people when they get a urinary infection. I went to check on a lady at 2 in the morning, every single light out I her apartment. I took a step in, then jumped when I saw her sitting in a chair right next to the door. She was staring straight ahead, didn't even budge when I startled. I walked around her, then back towards the door. She kept completely still until I touched her shoulder then slowly turned to look at me. "You ok hun" "There must be an easier way to get water." It doesn't end there. I get her in bed, then call the nurse to make a call to the family to take her to the hospital in the morning. After finishing my round, I go back downstairs (she was on the 3rd floor), to do some charting, and a ghostly figure clad in a thin white garment glides past the front entrance. She had managed, somehow (they also trend to have no balance), to walk to the end of her floor, get the wing door open(they're quite heavy), and go down 3 flights of stairs outside, and completely around the building... Still looking for water. Terrifying, but quite adorable now.
I was in my sophomore year and I had a crush on another friends boyfriend. We were friends so I just told both of them. I said I knew that he didn't feel the same but asked them both if I could still watch anime with them at lunch. They said yes. Once while I was at basketball practice he came up to me and told me he was there to watch his brother play. I said he could sit at my table since I was on break. He then tried to convince me that a guy should be able to have more than one girlfriend at a time and was subtly hinting at me that he wanted me to make the next move. I said no because I hadn't had a boyfriend before and he got agrivated and walked off. A few weeks later me and the other girl had a fight because she was bullying me relentlessly. Her and the guy broke up and I started dating the guy because I didn't know anything about relationships. He demanded a video call from me every night. I thought that was really weird because he was a senior and probably had a lot of homework and so did I. It was like from the moment I got home to when I went to bed. He kept pressuring me for nudes and stuff. I said no because we had only been dating for like a week. Another week went by and he told me he loved me. At this point I started to feel that he was really not okay in the head. On our second week of dating we were eating lunch and really quietly he whispered into my ear. " I want to kill you... and rape your corpse..." I lost every feeling I ever had for him right then and there but I kept dating him for another two weeks because i didn't want him to hurt me.
Not creepy, we can all use some light-hearted fun, right? My dad used to work in a psyche ward as a young med grad. One day he decided to have some fun and dressed up as a patient, bare feet, gown, the works and would distribute meds to the patients pretending he was sneaking them stuff the were not allowed to have. The front desk guard changed while dad was doing this and the other guy didn't know him so, naturally, he didn't believe when dad insisted he is a medic, not a patient. He got put in a room and was woken up by the head doctor doing rounds the next day and told to not ever pull that shit again.
no offense, but ur dad is kinda stupid. why in the hell would u dress up as a patient and distributee meds? hes lucky he didnt get seriously hurt by any of the patients thinking ur dad really was a patient. maybe he needed to be admitted instead of being a nurse?
I’m a caseworker at a women’s behavioral health rehabilitation and recovery center. So many stories, but one that absolutely chills me is one client started sobbing inconsolably one night after lights out, had a full scale panic attack and in an attempt to get away from whatever was scaring her fell out of her bed and hit the floor so hard it cut her head and blacked both eyes. After she came back from the hospital she told us she had seen her dead children looking through the window next to her bed. Her children had died in a terrible house fire a few years ago. I’ve never been scared of her, she’s a wonderful lady, but this keeps me up at night sometimes thinking of the torment she must have felt when her own mind showed her her own children’s burned bodies scratching at her window.
I had a friend back in elementary school who frequently saw things that weren't there. She would always talk about the "man in the suit" following her and about a "man with red eyes" who would watch her at night from the front yard of her house. Her parents were so concerned they had cameras installed outside the house and never saw anyone there. But my state will not diagnose before a certain age without extenuating circumstances. It took her lashing out at a teacher for her to be diagnosed and medicated. She is doing fine now from what I've heard.
I worked with high functioning preteens and teens with mental illness as an educational Assistant and I was just waiting for the day when this one kid told me he killed his whole family so he could either live with me or with his dad and his kids and wife. I don't work with them anymore and I'm still waiting his family was absolutely horrendous to him which shaped his autism in demented and scary ways.
I knew a girl from high school who's dad was a psychologist and he was murdered a couple years ago by a client. He was stabbed to death by them at their clinic. It's terrifying of what some people are capable of.
More neurotypical - i.e. "sane" people - commit crimes and violence than people with mental health conditions do. I'm a lot more scared of the people outside the psych wards than I am of the innocent people inside, who need care and support.
@@MyHeartIsOhMyGod It depends on the mental illness. I’ve gotten so tired of hearing this statistic, because people constantly bring it up to shame people who express even the idea that someone with a mental illness or disorders could be dangerous, and/or to point fingers about how “neurotypical people are the REAL meanies!”. There are a higher proportion of people with Cluster B Personality Disorders in the prison population for example, and a schizophrenic person is sure as hell more likely to do something reckless if their particular case involves them thinking they’re constantly in serious danger. Because I have empathy, but it’s empathy that makes me realize that holy shit, constantly thinking that a demon is out to get me is terrifying and I’d do something violent, and since of course there would be no real demons after me I could seriously hurt someone in that situation. Mental illness isn’t just depression and anxiety and shit. What are these statistics about anyway? Mental illness in general? Including relatively common ones like depression? Does it take into account ratios of them in the criminal population compared to the general population? Why did most of these crimes happen? I study social work and have met many wonderful people who are mentally ill. I myself am Autistic and have ADHD, and have had terrible experiences with people misunderstanding my behavior. It’s just that I swear that people who decry anyone even mentioning that people with certain conditions could be more at risk of doing something reckless and, as another commenter who has been replying to other threads is, basically says that it’s always the neurotypical person’s fault, has never actually met someone with serious mental illness.
@@wannabehistorian371 For someone who supposedly studies social work, you really are ignorant, aren't you? Yes, the statistic is regarding mental health conditions in general. Personality disorders - namely Antisocial Personality Disorder - are more common in prison populations - but APD makes up a minority of the neurodivergent population. Let me remind you that the mental health population includes depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, PTSD, body dysmorphia, and many more; just in case you forgot. Believe it or not, most violent offenders _don't_ have these conditions. In fact, persons with mental health conditions are more likely to be _victims_ of violence rather than perpetrators. And yes, that includes psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. You're right, someone with schizophrenia _can_ have a delusion that leads them to commit reckless behaviours. However, these behaviours are more likely to injure _themselves_ rather than other people, and they are very rare to begin with. The vast majority of people with schizophrenia never experience any violence, and of those who do, it's often directed at _themselves,_ not towards others - and it certainly doesn't lead them to grab an assault rifle, walk into a crowded mall, and start shooting at people. Psychopathy - again, just in case you aren't aware - is not a mental health condition. Rather, it is a _scale,_ on which everyone will have some kind of score. What this means is that neurotypical people can score very high in psychopathy without ever having been diagnosed with a mental health condition. Because again - _mental health conditions don't automatically predispose people to violence._ As a self-proclaimed social worker, how many of your clients have been violent to you? How many of your clients have been violent to _anyone?_ Because, hi nice to meet you, I'm a psychological researcher. I work one-on-one with persons in distress, the majority of whom have some kind of mental health condition. And of all the clients I've worked with, how many of them do you think perpetrated violent behaviours in the past? Of my 200+ clients, I think less than 10 - and even then, most of those were in self-defense, such as in response to physical aggression from bullies or to escape an abuser. New question: How many of these people were _victims_ of violence? This includes child abuse, domestic abuse, bullying, rape, etc. Surprise, i reckon that half - if not more - of my cases have involved these themes. Stop assuming that anyone who actually _knows_ shit about mental health is a "neurotypical who has never actually met someone with serious mental illness", when you don't even know the facts yourself. I don't know why you feel so aggressively prejudiced, but I suggest you wake up and _educate yourself._
@@MyHeartIsOhMyGod Yes. I know that. That’s why I said that that statistic is extremely broad, and I hate it being used to shut up the idea that mental health conditions could make someone more likely to offend, because it includes literally every mental illness. That condescending first paragraph only backs up my point there. I said I merely study social work, not that I’m a professional myself. Admittedly I’m not experienced in the field, but I have met many people who have. Did you even read my comment? Though yes, I will admit that you’re definitely more knowledgeable about this than I will ever be, and I was pretty rash in my initial comment because I was probably frustrated about something else. But I just really don’t like this narrative pushed around that because people with mental illness as a whole are more likely to be victims of crimes, all people with mental illness are harmless and it’s the mean old neurotypical’s fault that they did something. It’s just way too broad. Now if I can find more about specifics on this statistic I’ll try to find more on that. But everywhere everyone throws that statistic, and only that statistic, around.
@@wannabehistorian371 "Admittedly I'm not experienced in the field myself" - yet you feel like you have the authority to claim that people with mental health issues are likely to commit violence. That's what frustrates me, because you are far from the only one who believes in this stigma. If you are looking for more information, consider reading "Violence and mental illness: an overview" by Heather Stuart (2003/2006). You can also read "Risk of violence of inpatients with severe mental illness - Do patients with schizophrenia pose harm to others?" by Edlinger et al. (2014) (though keep in mind that this study examines inpatients with severe schizophrenia, and neglects persons with more minor schizophrenia who would be less likely to become inpatients). Both of these are academic articles published in peer-reviewed journals and should give you some more perspective on the issue. There are many more of such sources if you are willing to search for them.
I had a therapist who genuinely got off on just messing with everyone. He admitted it too. I’m not shocked when someone told me a story that one of his patients picked him up and threw him over the secretary’s desk. Not surprised at all.
Funny thing about the story of a friend who has psychosis....Psycho is a movie, not any type of medical term. It's not a diagnosis, just a slang term thrown around.
I've had some hallucinations in my time, but the scariest was at school about a year and a half ago. I sort of knew it wasn't happening, but my hands were covered in cuts and there was blood everywhere (I'm hemophobic). I couldn't see it, but I could feel it and smell it. I kept shaking my hands, wiping them on paper towels, washing them, trying to wrap them in something. It went on for hours, and I had to go to all my classes and try to hide what was happening. Scary shit.
The prisoner who cried might be the first time I've felt bad for a pedo. Those years of therapy weren't for nothing. His reaction to his depravity reemerging is proof enough of that for me. He has a long way to go, a lot longer than he and many of those around him thought, but that story gave me a glimmer of hope that someone like that is capable of change.

That story of the man who cried bc therapy didn’t work actually broke my heart. When people try to get better and it fails it just the most upsetting ting
It'd be nice if there was some kind of option for people like that. Like, "Okay, your time is up, you've spent the days you need to behind bars, but do YOU feel ready to go out into society?" Of course, many will say yes, but I think there'd be some who don't. Not that they'd stay in prison, but more like an open psych ward. Just people who fear they'll fall back into their old ways, so they want to be watched to prevent it.

Sometimes I think to myself, "Do psychologists need psychologists?"
uliran9 Many times they do
Quite a number of psychologist actually have their own psychologist and in some places they made it as policy bcs of their srressful working environment.
at least thats what my lecturer said
Yes, we do.
Plenty. Also numerous therapists make jokes about how they have therapists.
Doctor Mike says that he would not treat himself or family members since they are connected emotionally to him which hinders his performance as a doctor. He would let other doctors treat them instead.
So i guess the same goes for psychologists.

@curry flocka Not all of them, as Martin Luther King Jr said, “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” Similar logic applies here, a person born with morally wrong sexual urges that he cannot help but have shouldn't be condemned for a condition he was born with. If they give in to their urges and commit a heinous act then yes, they should hate themselves and as far as I'm concerned they probably deserve to die, but if they never give in then they don't deserve to be hated just because of a condition they never asked for.

Once while volunteering at a homeless shelter, I was serving dinner and this one guy kept staring at me and cycling through the line. He didn't talk to me, and he kept staring at my hair and chest (I was 15 but I had dd). He was really creeping me out. As people started to leave and he was still there. We started cleaning and he cornered me my the wall. I knew there could be some crazies and I was scared. H3 finally talked to me. "I'm sorry I keep staring at you. I can see you're scared. You just look so much like my friend who was shot in the head for being a Christian. You look so much like her you could be her." He then pointed at my chest to my necklace. "Her favorite color was green. And she loved turtles. I'm sorry I freaked you out." He then grabbed his stuff and left saying god bless us for our help.

Sorry for the long post:
My uncle lives on his own, no wife and no kids, but has Schizophrenia. He was fine for ten years without incident on his meds, two years ago on the night of Christmas Eve all of my extended family met at my grandmother’s house. He picked up one of my aunts and an uncle-in-law on the way there. When he got there he seemed fine, talked to himself a bit but that’s not out of the ordinary even on his meds. Night goes fine he’s able to hold conversation, doesn’t drink more than 2 beers in the whole seven to eight hours he was there for. He leaves without a word (extremely out of the ordinary for him, he usually goes out of his way to say goodbye to everyone). Fast forward about one hour. We are all partying hard, by this point it’s about 1:00am the following day. And suddenly there is a call on the phone... at 1am... usually not good news. I answered it, we all thought it could have been my aunt he drove home saying she got home safe and wanted us to have fun. Well it was my aunt, telling us they got in a car accident because my uncle had wreaked the car. Apparently he hadn’t taken his meds in the past 3 weeks, of course no one knew this because he lives on his own so any outbursts he had he was alone. His voices were telling him he was being followed, hallucinating and seeing headlights behind him. He crashed the car into a telephone pole when he lost control. Still to this day every time I see him I wonder: is he on his meds? what’s going on in his head? Could this be the last time I see him? Who or what does he see that i don’t?
It really fucks with me, it’s honestly hard for me to deal with. I can tell that the rest of my family is thinking the same way. He hasn’t had any known incidents since then, but we all just can’t let it go.
Going off meds is understandable, the side effects can be really terrible, and so can the intended effects for some people. He's really stuck between a rock and a hard place, and that's sad. I'm happy he survived the wreck and you still have him in your life.
Juliet Capulet the only issue is that he just forgot to take them one day and then because of his schizophrenia the voices he was hearing were telling him not to take them so he didn’t. Now my dad calls him or visits him once a week to check up on him.
@@liamgriffin218 If they're normally tolerable for him that's great, I hope he'll remember to take them from now on.
Liam my best advice is to love the person who is in front of you right now instead of constantly waiting to see when he will have his next episode. Tell him everything you want him to know and that you love him when he is lucid. You have a right to all of your feelings ranging from fear to joy but try not to let your fear overwhelm the chances you have to be happy with your uncle. If you have ongoing concerns perhaps you could learn more about his diagnosis through websites like SAMHSA and asking him if there are ways to be more supportive. If the feelings you have toward this situation keep hurting you consider talking to a counselor or therapist yourself to get it off your chest. I sincerely wish you and your family all the best as you continue to heal from that uncomfortable night.
Trust me, make the effort, good to see that your dad goes and sees him regularly now. One of my very good mates had Schizophrenia and would go on and off his meds all the time. We were always able to tell when he was off them because the manic episodes would happen - throwing knives out the window to aerate the ground (??), chopping palm trees down at early hours of the morning and nearly knocking down power lines etc. At one point he was self medicating with illicit drugs and was kicked out of his accommodation because of this. He disappeared for 10 days and we had no idea where he was, unfortunately he was found deceased after one of our friends went to look for him at a local landmark. It's quite difficult to know what is going on in someone's mind at any time and in particular when they have a mental illness, I just wish I had of been there when he was falling apart to help him.

I don't understand why they don't get the option of being castrated, like you do with pets not with medication. It sounds like some of those men would happily do it, and everyone would be safer if they did
I'm not sure if some people are just not aware of this but it's possible to have empathy for people who are struggling without approving of their actions, kids. Just because someone feels bad that other people struggle with horrendous thoughts and compulsive behaviors doesn't make them "sympathizers" of those thoughts and actions. Jeez, there's no reason to go so hard at people who simply feel bad that these illnesses exist and affect people who really are trying not to be influenced by them.
Dude made a horrible mistake, one he will regret for the rest of his life. He thought he was getting better, to make up somewhat for what he did.. and, nope, he's still sick in the head. I feel bad and I don't. Castration really seems like a good answer for people like this man.

I worked in a Mental Hospital at the beginning of my career. I was a young woman who looked even younger so most of the big “scary” guys were oddly protective of me most of the time. I’ve only had one or two that scared me but the scariest was the one who actually tried to strangle me. He was a small man in a wheelchair who had severe brain damage after being hit by a car when he was quite young and was very psychotic. Long story short he’d incorporated me into his delusion. He believed we’d once been married, I’d divorced him and now he wanted me back but since I would not have him he wanted to kill me. Anyway in group therapy (he was in every group I ran even after this because my jerk of a boss found the whole thing amusing) this person leapt out of his chair, over a table and had his hands in a grip around my neck. (Thankfully only got some scratches) . The big “scary” guys did not know how to react but thankfully one guy (cute little man who could barely speak) ran for help.
Your boss was a narcissist if he found it amusing. I hope you're well.
Here’s a tip. When I was young, around 10 or 11, I was classed as a sociopath. I knew i was a sociopath and I tried really hard to become friendly because I used to get very aggressive and shouty really easily, I also didn’t feel as much emotion as you would but I was quite sensitive and really self conscious. A good tip is to not tease someone who would be classed a sociopath or a psychopath about it because it would make it much worse. Instead, be supportive and stick with them. It light take a while but eventually the mentally ill would be mentally ill no longer and will try to gain sympathy and empathy as well as have a positive view on people
Edit: I also found out I am more of a sociopath but have traces of a psychopath
You are a genuine good person for doing your best to be nice. The average person doesn't even do that. I hope you have a great life.
Genuine question what is the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath?
The two terms seem to be used interchangeably nowadays
Sorry if I'm being ignorant it isn't intended to be
Just a small story. I knew somebody who dated a man with sexual attraction towards minors. We didn't know until one Christmas at his(my friend's) sisterr's, who had two small kids. The guy was there, and after admitted his attraction but that he would never touch a child, admitting that was sick, and then broke up with my friend because he didn't want himself around children.
As far as I know he's been to therapy and has been getting better, so shout out to that guy for actually being a decent human being.
It breaks my heart that there are people attracted to children that don't want to be. It's always horrible and disgusting obviously...but I think of those that were born that way or abused themselves and don't want to be like that. Someone crying because all their work and all that time away meant nothing....it's so sad. Of course I feel far more for the children and they are always the priority...but you can't control what you're attracted to...and when people have such horrendous ones but don't want them...it's just really unfortunate. I hope there can be a real cure someday so no one has to live with that but more importantly kids can be safer.
Yeah, it's just really sad.
There is a cure. Castration.

@@TonksRules Tying the tubes? I think there's a hormonal thing for females too. I personally don't find it inhumane- if it helps you being part of society why not? Is it better to be locked up all your life?
@@zlatkakardaleva5738 Tying a woman's tubes doesn't stop them from feeling any sexual feelings or acting out on them (to be honest I don't know if castration does for men either). It only (if done correctly) prevents you from getting pregnant (and I think they wouldn't have periods any more? But that I'm also unsure of). But I suppose there might be something hormonally you could do? And that would be different I suppose if you could just shut off all sexual feelings...I just don't know if there's actually a way to do that. Also...I mean...if someone has touched children I'm totally down with them being locked up forever. If they haven't...then yeah...having an option that could help them still somewhat be normal would be better than that...but it also shouldn't be forced if they haven't actually committed a crime yet.

The creepiest encounter for me: one night I was walking in a dollar store by my self (I was about 12) I was going by myself bc I just needed to get one thing real quick and my dad was just outside in the car. So I knew exactly where it was so I went straight to the back of the store. A man who looked like he was in his forty’s also went to the back of the store with no cart or basket. I wasn’t bothered by it whatsoever bc I also didn’t have a basket or cart so maybe he was just getting something in the back of the store. But of course I was paranoid so I went to the side of the store acting like I didn’t notice...he followed. I went to the front and then back again to act like I was asking a worker a question....he followed again. Take in mind that this whole time he hasn’t grabbed a single thing to buy. So there I was panicking praying to god that it wasn’t what I thought it was. My dad came in to check on me sense I was taking so long and it wasn’t until then and only then that the guy walked out of the store. So was I just being paranoid? You tell me
Karenater3000 This sounds like an AITA reddit post XDDD
If he was honest following you throughout the store like you say, I don’t think you were just paranoid. It seems like he was waiting for the perfect moment of vulnerability to lure you away. He probably realized at some point you were a hard target because all of your moving around showed you may be aware of his presence and an active, not easy to fool person

I used to be a special ed teacher’s assistant and there was this kid I worked with for most of the school year that I was terrified of. He had a developmental disorder and there were things he wasn’t capable of comprehending. He wasn’t bad when he was calm and happy.
If things didn’t go his way or he was stopped from doing something he wanted to do (mostly to comply with school rules) it was like a switch was flipped in him. He would attack me with nothing held back. I would leave with bites when I tried to restrain him the way I was trained. I got slapped in the face several times while waiting for backup.
The worst one was he didn’t want to get on the bus and I was just trying to send him home. I had called on my walkie talkie for back up and in trying out distance between the kid and I, turned my back on him.
BIG MISTAKE. He slapped me across the back just right that I had to miss two days of work because I was in so much pain. The school had to pay 2k for my chiropractor treatment. That year I quit to go back grad school in the fall.
He was a fifth grader.
MelissaProh I’m a special education paraeducator in a preschool. Fairly recently I had a student in my morning class who had some unknown trauma before he was adopted and no impulse control to speak of. He would go after kids at the drop of a hat and relished in the attention he got for doing things he knew he wasn’t supposed to, grinning the entire time he was doing it. Even when we were keeping an eye on him it was hard to predict what he would do, and he once managed to injure four other students before we could get to him. Another time he was talking to my coworker about how much he hated his bus driver and said sometimes he just wished he could push her off the bus. When my coworker told him not to talk like that he tried to backtrack by saying “uh, I mean, I wish I could push MYSELF off the bus.” This kid was four years old.
Let’s just say I wasn’t too upset when he was transferred to another classroom.
Hold up. You spent 2k on a glorified masseur? Or is that just what you told the school?

The only person that ever scared the hell out of me I met when I was in the US Navy. He was an average size guy that you would not notice and he was very educated but had a very odd reaction when he saw someone do anything he considered Dishonorable. When witnessing a dishonorable act (like multiple people attacking one guy) his entire persona would change, he didn't even talk the same, and he would attack with maximum effort. When I say maximum effort I mean destroy the person as fast as possible. The funny part is when the fight was over he never remembered it.

My therapist has admitted to me that there was one time where I truly scared him in a session. It was the appointment where he decided I needed to be hospitalized for the first (and so far, only) time because when he asked if he should do so (because I was informing him I was very suicidal at the time), I said with dead negative affect in my voice that I didn’t care if he did or not, but if he or anyone else wanted me to live for whatever reason, I’d recommend it because I could not promise I wouldn’t attempt anything.
After I was released and started doing better, he told me that had been the only time he was terrified for me and afraid he wouldn’t be able to help me.
Worked as a psych nurse for 13 years. Only time I was afraid was the time we had 6 foot 8 350 pound male patient coming from prison. Had gotten into a fight with another inmate during lunch and anucleated him with a plastic spoon and then proceeded to eat the eyeball. When we admitted him he was in four point leather restraints and sedated. Put him in the seclusion room restrain him to the bed shut the door and turned on the cameras to watch him. Half an hour later I was making rounds look through the glass in the door and he was staring at me at the glass with the bed frame still attached to him staring at me.
In the psych hospital we worked at, to avoid patient mistreatment, us techs would have to be watching the patient in the same room as them. Was so fucking hard when they were aggressive and we were understaffed so one of us would end up watching a person for hours at a time.
Even worse when a nurse didn’t care to check in on us cause the quiet areas were so far from the nurse’s station and the Head Nurse decided we didn’t need panic buttons lol

I'm a psychologist and I "treated" a 12yo boy who was in the path of becoming a psychopath. He played with knives, he molested other kids, he lied through his teeth like it was nothing. I'm afraid of the man he's going to be.
About... 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more.... My husband and I (boyfriend at the time) were at my Mils house, my brother in law was about 8 or 9, we got into the conversation of babies, we said that a baby would cry alot
My brother in law spoke up laughing "well if the baby did that I'd just rip it apart"
... We were stunned at his comment
Completely freaked me out, especially since he laughed as he said it, he then said he was joking but added under his breath as quietly as he could "or was i?"
A year later after it would have been forgotten (by him at least) I was baby sitting when he randomly said "you know i didnt mean it when I said I'd rip your baby apart, i was joking" we hadn't even been talking at the time... So yea long story short, when i have a baby I ain't leaving him alone with it
003145 Wolf loool he was 8/9years old?? Kids say weird shit all the time why are you scared :L
because at the time he was having problems and he wasn't a very nice kid to put it lightly
He threatened to do all sorts of nasty things back then
@Jake Jordan he was a genuinely scary kid sometimes, he got in trouble with the police too, threatened to kill himself, put washing up liquid in the kettle in an attempt to poison his mum, i had every reason to be worried
Me: I'm scared of Spongebob Squarepants
Physiologist: I can't hear you
Me: *ScrEAmiNG*
I was a paramedic. One night we got called to a local "zoo" (only animals that live in my area, deer donkeys etc.) because a man lit a fire in one of the enclosures. We were sent there alongside two police cars. The guy was standing by a fire in the donkey enclosure, machete in hand mumbling to himself. When we went up to him he didn't do anything he seemed to be kind of mesmerized by the donkeys. We asked him what he was doing here so late and he introduced himself as "little donkey" and said he had talked to the donkeys and they had told him to "show them the wonder of fire" and he obliged. We wanted to know why he brought the machete which he still had in his hands and he said he didn't know. He went into the ambulance with us without resistance. He was brought to a psychiatric ward and as far as I know he's a pretty normal dude when he's medicated. I have no proof of this because I lost my phone on which I had a photo of the "additional comments" section of the police protocol that tells this story. And although no one got hurt this scared the shit out of me.
"I was hoping he would be in a much better place."
Oh my friend, schizophrenia does not get better with time, I am sad to say. Though him being alive at all is a good sign. Men with schizophrenia have often found themselves on the fatal end of police confrontations.
I dated someone with schizophrenia for 8 years. And nothing about that illness is pleasant. The whole medication process is interesting. She hated her meds, because she hated feeling numb. But it was basically choosing a life of numbness or bipolar madness. And as selfish as it sounds. Being the full-time breadwinner AND full-time caregiver to her illness--knowing that she isn't suicidal 24/7 makes life a lot easier. So I always hate it when people stop using their meds. Even though I know that being numb sucks.
The problem with mental-illness at that level is you really need a legit care-giver. And it's almost impossible to work full time 40+ hours and make sure that someone's taking their meds and not doing something catastrophic like suicide attempts, assaulting people, or straight out destroying property. No one wants to come home to all of their windows smashed in, because the person with schizophrenia thought the windows were keeping the air from getting into the house. You know? Unless you're a fucking millionaire--you can't afford to have them doing thousands of dollars of damage on a monthly basis. And to make it worse, if they can't hold down a job--that's not living. That's torture for the significant other.
If someone taking their meds is the difference between being numb and predictable compared to violent, destructive, and suicidal. I'll take a numb person anyways. Then they can't hurt those around them.
==================
I stayed with my ex way longer than I should have. As a guy. I felt like it was my duty and obligation to make sure she didn't commit suicide or become homeless. What was I gonna do? kick her out and make her homeless? She'd do something insane for sure!
Anyways, enough ranting. We did split mutually when she started crushing on some poor sap, and I encouraged her to chase that lead. It was probably the best ending I could have hoped for.
But make no mistake, schizophrenia is one hell of an illness.
I had a friend with schizophrenia. He committed suicide about a year ago. 😔 he had attempted it before, and he would say that the voices would convince him that his family was in danger and the only way to save them was to kill himself.
It's a terrible illness. I know he's home with Jesus now, though, free from it all.
@@CassTeaElleI'm sorry to hear that, pal. That's awful.
My best friend has it. Doesn't take his meds, I don't blame him really. They destroy his appetite and don't work as well as they should. It is indeed a helluva illness. Sometimes makes him violent towards himself and others, it totally sucks. But h'know, we manage, he deals with it best he can.
This is so scary that there a people out in the world unmedicated just like the people here.
Especially in the comments.
Most of those people were medicated tho
There are drugs to treat your fear, and it's pretty scary that people like you are allowed to just *feel scared* when you could be drugged for the rest of your life instead.
@@grizzdotcom feeling scared is fine for normal people > < normal people aren't scared of their own thoughts and feelings.
@@MizTameRumors It's fine for anyone to feel scared of anything, until they decide it's a problem and decide to seek help for it.
Calling it "scary" that some people aren't medicated can easily be reversed, and "but *I'm* normal" is a flimsy defense that's hardly ever worked.
If OP thinks some people having their medical autonomy respected is "scary," then maybe he needs some education on what it feels like to have *his* taken away.
I honestly felt bad for the prisoner who got aroused after therapy and whatnot. It sounds like he really wants/wanted to change. We can’t really pick what we’re into, and I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for someone who really wants to change. I hope these people get the help they need.

A city nearby recently had a psychotic patient murder a doctor with a hatchet.
With a full waiting room, including children.
And this is NOT "one of those' cities, it's a happy little Canadian city.
edit: forgot to add! When the killer was on the stand, he asked for a doctor.
The judge dismisses him and said "Well, you killed him."
As someone who suffers from a semi-severe case of multiple personality schizoactive disorder. I can say that when the voices start, it's almost impossible to get them to stop. You can't ever blame someone who is psychoactive for their episodes. They often times aren't even behind the wheel anymore. These people in their heads WILL try to do anything to bring harm to themselves or others. They may even kill someone if you're not safe. I often have to hold back the urges to self-harm, and occasionally I even scream back at the voices uncontrollably. It sucks. There's no way to make them stop. Just try to be patient with them and, of course, if you feel as if your life is in danger get the F out
I didn't have psychosis or any similar illnesses but as a child I would always see people that weren't there and hear weird voices (it turned out to be some sort of blood clot in my brain that wasn't discovered and somehow didn't kill me... All it did was make me see things that weren't there, we only found it when I was 16 as I was getting migraines so bad I couldn't sleep.. And after many years my hallucinations returned.. It stopped when I was around 8.... We went to a doctor as now it was clear it's not just a sacred delusional child) sometimes I'd see groups of people around my bed at night who would chant in a weird language (as an adult your smart-ass here thought she was possessed or at least her room was haunted) id scream my head off and they'd jump at me and disappear into shadows as my parents entered my room, I'd hear voices telling me that I'm going to hell and that my family is the one who will send me to hell to take their place.... I'd cry and beg my dad to not send me to hell (I'm closer with my dad.... And he'd be the one next to me most of the time in an instant whne I scream.... My mom had odd shifts at work) going near my closet was a no-no but the worst was the bathroom... I'd fucking rather piss myslef than enter than bathroom unsupervised.. Hell even then I wouldn't even open my eyes.... I hated showering but I loved the water so it was weird behavior of me (nobody believed that I could actually see things) needless to say it was horrible and scary... There was one constant 'demon' that was called 'Chrone' Idk how did I get this name.. But it was terrifying he would stand as a human but he had a nearly animal like body proportion sometimes he'd act like a dog.. He'd do anything a dog would do in a normal behavior... That one stuck with me the nearly entire time... What scared me to hell and back was seeing it crouch (like a gorilla would) next to my family members, his hands with long Boney demonic hands would reach for them and sometimes a long tongue would slither outta its mouth and lick them (needless to say I was terrified of the tongue thing Orochimaru (a character from Naruto) does when I was younger) Chrone was my continuous nightmare till I was 8... It was terrifying when I was 16 and all of a sudden I entered a room with some family members and saw Chrone standing there staring me dead in the eyes like 'I'm back' and slowly a sickening grin stretched across his face (he had the sharpest big teeth and wide mouth (I didn't take so kindly to the little red ridding hood wolf grandma story as a child).. The type you don't wanna see in something that's in the same room as you) I just froze till I was asked what's wrong and I started hyperventilating after not answering at all....at that time I pretty much already convinced myslef that I imagined it all as a child.... It went on for about a year and something till I went to the doctor and we found the clot and it was treated... Thank God I never saw him again after that (it was a terrible year.... As believe it or not adults are more terrified of demons than kids... And have way more things that talking hullicinations can scare then with)
I was expecting awkward puppy bloopers at the end for a comedic relief...
Would certainly help after reading these.
The one with psychosis actually sounded more like paranoid schizophrenia. I'm intrigued as to what the differentiation would be.
I worked security at a middle school. There was a special needs student, I'll call him Hugo, that was incredibly strong for his size. It was superhuman how strong Hugo was. The staff and other security were scared of Hugo because of his tantrums. One day while watching Hugo I jokingly put my thumb and index finger in front of my eyes pretending to grasp a fellow guard by the head and move them side to side. The other guard played along as if being controlled by me. Hugo laughed so I asked if I should crush his head and the guard held the side of their head in pain as if I were squeezing it. Hugo asked me not to pop his head so I stopped. I told them to say thank you to Hugo for saving their life. We all thought it was a joke, that is until the next time Hugo misbehaved. I was called and as soon as Hugo saw me he stopped misbehaving and cried out "Please don't pop my head, I'll be good!"
I had a lot of 'splaining to do.
That guy who burst into tears. It's really depressing to know that he knew he was sick and wanted to get better, but had his soul crushed when he realised he wasn't.
Not a psychologist but I sometimes have extreme mood swings. I once threw a table 2 meters to a teacher of me and afterwards I cried for 5 hours because I hated myself for it and I scared myself so hard.
That one's relatable.
I hope you'll be okay, take care dude.
Don't hate you.
No one:

He said it like the "-ine" in porcupine lmao
Random story I remembered:
When I was in middle school art class, there was a kid who cut another kid with scissors on the hand. He was taken to the back of the room and I heard the teacher ask why he did that. I remember him saying, sounding pretty calm, "I told him if he put glue on my hand again I'd cut him. He did, so I did" or something to that affect.
Damn

*waves excitedly* Hiya kidddo!!!!!
Oh wow, the room set up at the place where I see my shrink and my therapist makes so much more sense now. They have easy access to doors, while I don't or would have to do a bit of fanagling if I or any other patient tried to go at them. I never realized that's why the rooms are set up the way they are, I just thought it was a strange agreement on how the rooms should be set up.
This explains so much to my derp brain.
I can totally understand the story about the Psychologist who denied parole to that high ranking gang member. Being an ex-convict, and an ex-gang member, I have been around this, and it's a pretty common belief among true convicts/gang members that our worlds are completely different, and you can't be mad for them doing their jobs. Now, if another inmate doesn't pay a gambling debt, or drug debt...sorry for that person!
I had a psychotic breakdown two years ago, and I declared a personal war on any word derived from “pater” (Latin for father). Patrician, patriarch, patron, Patreon, paternity- THEY WERE ALL GOING DOWN.
I’ve been psychosis free since then. Turns out my personal word war didn’t accomplish much.
XD
A childhood friend of mine's step father had some sort of mental breakdown once when I was visiting him. He yelled at me and my friend to get in the pantry away from the windows. We did what he said and he followed us in, genuinely scared out of his mind. He said there were men outside with guns and laser sights. He would start throwing things out the door apparently trying to hit one of the men. I was there handing him stuff to throw since I was just a kid and didn't realize what was going on... I wasn't scared but simply confused since I didn't see or hear anything he was talking about.
In the end everything was fine (Though there was quite a mess to pick up) and it didn't bother me in the least. I jokingly called him Mr. Crazy... Though now I realize that's a shitty name to give someone whose legitimately has mental problems. Though I didn't mean anything by it.
I once met a woman who was disabled since birth, she would go up to people, adults or older looking teens usually, put her hand on their stomach and asked "Baby?"
When you answered no, she would ask if it "got put down the drain too"
No one knows what she is talking about
i think she's talking about abortion
@@Story-sf2cl yeah that's what I thought, abortion or miscarriage?
The thoughts and ideas in my head about how or why she would ask these are just heartbreaking.
Did she miscarry or, had had an abortion at some point in her life?
I hope it wasn't from someone abusing her.
Not me, but my brother. He was a trainee psychologist and had to go to a prison to train. On vacation, we went to Miami, which is in a different country from where we live.
When he returned, one of the inmates asked him how Miami was. My brother had been very careful not to mention where he’d go for spring break. He denied it saying he’d stayed home, but whether it was a lucky guess or the inmate knew something, we never found out. My brother has now “graduated” from prison evals.
During my service I heard a report of a private that was known to be unstable due to PTSD, his unit members constantly tried to tell him he should see a therapist, the day after he went to a therapist he snuck a frag into the barracks and ended up blowing himself up, two others were k*lled, one guy lost a leg and half an arm and four more in critical condition.
When my brother was 16, he tried to commit suicide, but did not go through with it. Was hospitalized and released with depression. A few weeks later we were at church for confrimation, choir practice, and handbells practice. He ran home after his confirmation class and his friend told me to call home. Turns out, he was having a manic episod and was on the roof of our house with a knife. My sister, who was in 6th grade, had to grab an 8ft ladder to get him down wirh my mom's help. Hospitalised again with bipolar disorder. I saw him that night in the unit and he was talking non stop. Freaky for my family!
While I was a patient at a psyche hospital this one lady told me I looked like her grandson. We chatted for a few minutes about what he and I did and comparing them. She really didn’t seem like she belonged there. But then we kept having the same conversation every time we saw each other (3-4 times a week) but the way she described her grandson was different each time. When a friend of mine came in to visit she said he looked like her grandson. We look nothing alike
I mean I wouldn't call that any sort of psychotic, sounds more like dementia or Alzheimers than anything
My mother’s best friend who at this point I had considered to be a aunt had a creepy boyfriend at the time that terrified me. Once when I was eight and moving into my new house with there help they all went off to do something in the garage and I was left alone with him. As we were standing there he pulled his knife out of his pocket opened it and just stared at me. At one point he started moving closer and I ran off to my mother. She didn’t believe and neither did anyone else but I know what I saw. The dude had always sent off creepy vibes to me and this made it so much worse.
This is actually both really interesting, and very sobering, I'd love more videos like this honestly
I spent a week in a psych hospital in February. Almost every patient there was very nice to me. The only patient I didn't talk with was...very stubborn. He didn't do anything but watch tv and eat. He didn't want to participate in activities or group talk or anything.

I've been in a couple mental health hospitals and due to medicine reaction I had a violent hallucination. I was going to the bathroom to shower around 9pm. Since I was there for self harm there were only a shower curtain instead of a door to a bathroom. Usually shared room but my room mate was released so I felt comfortable showering. As I walked in I set my hygiene basket on the sink, I glanced up at the mirror and seen my reflection grin wide (Which being goth and depressed I don't do often) then watched as my reflection slit her throat. Unnatural to me, I just stared at the mirror(Horror fan) the check nurse seen me and asked what I was doing and I looked at her calmly and Said: Other me found a knife and slit get throat.
Needless to say she backed out quickly and got the psychiatrist before she left for the night. The psychiatrist sat with me and was clearly weirded out but was professional. New meds, new doctor and lots of paperwork afterwards I was sent home a week later. I should of freaked out, but was so hopped on tranquilizer meds I was more intrigued than scared. Never had it since. Anti psychotic meds are not for everyone.
So basically what I'm getting is that medication will more than likely make shit worse. I was on meds for anxiety and panic attacks. It made it so much worse to the point I had a complete break down after going to a concert with my husband and because we were in public, it made it worse because of the embarrassment. Got off those asap!
In middle school one of our school police officers used to stalk me, touch my face and hair a lot. He talked about how much i reminded him of his wife and wouldn't leave me alone.
11:13 oh my god I’m in nursing school and one of the first rules they tell you is never let them get between you and the door. It’s one of the first things you’re told, and if they do you’re supposed to do whatever it takes to get to that door, especially if you feel threatened.
So I’m not a psychologist, but I was working security at a hospitals psyche ward where patients come in and do 72 hour sit ins so they don’t kill themselves.
This lady comes in with a male (idk who he was) and they scared the living shit out of us and the other patients. The both of them would bang on the windows, scream at us for having cameras in the rooms, and we’re just generally unpleasant. One of the wives of a different patient actually left the room and told us she was scared because the accompanying male was threatening to hurt and possibly kill the doctors.

Not even close to the stories in the video, but one time I got out at a metro station with a couple of friends and for some reason we got separated by a bunch of extremely drunk (maybe drugged) guys. So I shouted to my friends, who were behind the drunk men to keep up with me. One of the drunks thought I said something to him and aggressively said to fuck off or something like that. I know it's not really scary, as it was in the middle of the day and other people were walking by but still. In that moment I was really scared, my friends were behind those men, so even if they were to do something, they wouldn't be able to help me, and nobody else seemed to care.
In hindsight, I think they were way too intoxicated to be able to seriously do something.
My mother was working nightshift in a psychiatric home. There were no "difficult" cases. With one exception.
During one nightshift my mother was alone, because most of the patients were quiet or already asleep. She wandered through the hallway, checking if all patients were in their rooms. Pretty quiet night so far, so she turns around - and the patient stood right in front of her.
Most of the time this one patient wasn't harmful at all, she would mumble but wouldn't talk a clear word.
But she had her 'phases'. That meant she was still quiet, but extremely aggressive, cold and she would speak clear sentences. Things you could understand easily, but things you wish you couldn't hear. "You know I'm going to kill you, right? Nobody will notice, and nobody will suspect me, right? And now please be quiet, okay?".
She then started to grab for my mothers neck and first tried to strangle her, but when she knew she couldn't (bc my mum tried her best to cover her throat while screaming) the patient then tried to break her neck.
Luckiliy my mothers shift was over in 5 minutes, and a co-worker heard her screaming. She immediately called the police and helped my mum.
My mum doesn't work there anymore. Thank god...
Im a nursing student and during my posting in a mental health center i heard of a patient who took a small blade and slit her stomach from one side to the other. The nurses found her with her guts spilling out, still alive surprisingly. They bind her abdomen and rush her to the doctor. . the worst part according to them was that she never even cried or shouted, just sat still.
When I was a Freshman, one of my best friends (who happened to be a year older than me) was friends with this guy, “Chad”, who was three years older than my friend, making him four years older than me. “Chad” was a senior at a different high school in a different town but lived in the same district as my friend and I.
During one of our high school football games I had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting “Chad”.
My friend introduced us and IMMEDIATELY after introduction “Chad” asks me, “So....do you have a boooy frieeed???” It was said in such a way that had alarm bells going off in my head. I told him that I wasn’t looking nor wanted a boyfriend, which was true. Even my friend chipped in saying that I’ve went on whole tangents about it. “Chad” tried not to look disappointed but I could see it. The topic was dropped. My friend was completely oblivious to this the whole time.
Eight years later sense that night I saw on the news that he was arrested for assault and battery of a woman who was trying to break up with him.
I did some digging on him and it turns out he has two active restraining orders and a long laundry list of charges from stealing to domestic violence cases.
Normally one would say that ‘I dodged a bullet with this one’ but he never even had a chance with me because he made my Creepdar go off so much whenever I saw him!
No, you avoided a goddamn nuke.
The girl who has phychosis made my heart break.. I have huge respects for women specially the loving and caring ones and it just pains me to hear such a tragic event for such a lovely person as described
Yeah, I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, depression, anxiety, and since August last year, horrible grief. I see a GP once a week and have grief counseling and counseling at the MS Society once a fortnight. I was also seeing a psychologist but my relationship with her didn't feel right. It was also very difficult to get to for someone who doesn't drive. Now I only have 6 free sessions left for the year and my GP is trying to find a new one for me. She made me feel like it was my fault for not getting better..
I also have a psychiatrist for the medication aspect of it, and he upped my dose of antidepressant and also added a nighttime antidepressant to the rotation.
I don't feel any better, really, try as I might. So I feel like a lost cause!
I lost my mum in 2014, she was unwell and passed March 16th, 2 days after her birthday and 2 days before my dad's. And a lot of other birthdays in March.
Unfortunately, he had got a small amount of some really strong heroin, and had an OD. He said he really missed my mum and "I just wanted to feel happiness again, I haven't in a long time."
Cut to a week later, I wake-up at about 11AM, ask my youngest brother, 17 at the time, where dad was. He said he had heard noises from his room a bit earlier. I immediately cut a bit of plastic and jimmy open the door, to find him sitting there, cold to the touch. He had promised us nothing like that would happen again..
Now I am alone in the world, with just my siblings. Family live far off and the support stopped pretty fast as everyone went back to their own lives and family.
Sorry for the crappy story, I could just relate a lot to almost being told things like that. It was kinda cathartic to write it out, though. I don't really expect anyone to read this and it'll be buried.
I did want to let you know that a part of my healing has been to distract myself, and I binge watch them until I fall asleep!
Lots of love from a young Aussie lady! Keep up the great content!
Wow. Just...wow. Ok first of all sorry for your losses and I hope you and your siblings have been able to into some degree of normalcy. Second I just needed to write an answer to let you know that someone did read your comment.
I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through but I don't believe that you are a lost cause. You want to be better and are doing everything you can to accomplish that goal. That is not the sign of a lost cause. That is the sign of a fighter. But sometimes the way how you fight is just as important as the will to fight. You just haven't found the right way yet. I believe that your GP knows this but doesn't know the right way either. Which is why she is or has been handing you to someone else who might know a way for you to better fight.
So don't give up. Keep fighting and I wholeheartedly believe that you will get better. Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday you will.
I don't know if my comment will help you in anyway or not but maybe just knowing that someone believes in you is a step in the right direction. I hope I didn't offend you or bored you with my rambling or opinions.
I’m hoping to get into university to study psychology starting next year. I’d love to be a psychologist. I found these stories very interesting and they gave me some things to think about. One thing in particular being, should I become a psychologist in the future, the importance of disconnecting myself from how I may feel about something a patient tells me in order to maintain professionalism. And also being prepared for the possibility of being told things I really wouldn’t like to hear.
It's so great that rSlash makes it easy for us to follow along. Replies is to the original question, responds is a comment on somebody's reply
One of my ex’s took so much acid that he was stuck in a permanent hallucinations. He could function most of the time but there was some scary episodes where he wasn’t okay.
During one of them, he had taken TWO more tabs even though I was begging him not to because the doctors told him he would mess his brain up more! He called me in the middle of a panic attack talking about the bus goblins and how they wanted to control him to hurt me. I was in complete shock and didn’t know how to calm him down. I just kept asking what I could do and he said just keep talking so they wouldn’t infect his mind. I started talking about my day and I had cut my hand. He flipped out and said because I said the word blood that everything was blood to him now. The call went quiet for a few seconds and then he started screaming gibberish. I freaking started crying and his mom eventually came to check on him. She brought him to the hospital and I broke up with him afterwords cause his delusions got more and more scary about me.
Happily two years out of that two month relationship and never wanna go back
He probally jad something else wrong with him
the story about the 6'5" MMA fighter is blatantly not true. you cant just leave a psych ward especially if youre in the unit for being legally considered to be a potential danger to yourself or others. everything is locked down, those places are built like prisons with constant surveillance and cameras and a whole security team ready to deescalate a situation or hold you down and give you a shot that knocks you out.
BySam yeah I was so confused about that. I’ve visited a mental hospital before and it is not easy to just walk out of there without clearance or supervision
yeah at psych wards you can't even go to the bathroom without asking to
Oh hey, one I can respond to, so, I was at the ER after my dad broke his back(I think that was it I've been to the ER a lot lol)
This guy comes in, covered in cuts and smelling heavily of booze, he sits next to me, some random 14-15 year old kid, and just starts talking, I zone out and look around for someone to help me just in case the guy got aggressive, he never did. I asked him what happened, he told me his tv attacked him, and got up and walked out.
Love these! Thanks for posting everyday!
I have a ton of stories from when I worked in a 4 story nursing facility, night shift for 10 years. A lot of them turn into completely different people when they get a urinary infection.
I went to check on a lady at 2 in the morning, every single light out I her apartment. I took a step in, then jumped when I saw her sitting in a chair right next to the door. She was staring straight ahead, didn't even budge when I startled. I walked around her, then back towards the door.
She kept completely still until I touched her shoulder then slowly turned to look at me. "You ok hun"
"There must be an easier way to get water." It doesn't end there. I get her in bed, then call the nurse to make a call to the family to take her to the hospital in the morning.
After finishing my round, I go back downstairs (she was on the 3rd floor), to do some charting, and a ghostly figure clad in a thin white garment glides past the front entrance. She had managed, somehow (they also trend to have no balance), to walk to the end of her floor, get the wing door open(they're quite heavy), and go down 3 flights of stairs outside, and completely around the building... Still looking for water. Terrifying, but quite adorable now.
My mom works in a psych hospital and they had a guy punch out a shatterproof window
I was in my sophomore year and I had a crush on another friends boyfriend. We were friends so I just told both of them. I said I knew that he didn't feel the same but asked them both if I could still watch anime with them at lunch. They said yes. Once while I was at basketball practice he came up to me and told me he was there to watch his brother play. I said he could sit at my table since I was on break. He then tried to convince me that a guy should be able to have more than one girlfriend at a time and was subtly hinting at me that he wanted me to make the next move. I said no because I hadn't had a boyfriend before and he got agrivated and walked off.
A few weeks later me and the other girl had a fight because she was bullying me relentlessly. Her and the guy broke up and I started dating the guy because I didn't know anything about relationships. He demanded a video call from me every night. I thought that was really weird because he was a senior and probably had a lot of homework and so did I. It was like from the moment I got home to when I went to bed. He kept pressuring me for nudes and stuff. I said no because we had only been dating for like a week. Another week went by and he told me he loved me. At this point I started to feel that he was really not okay in the head. On our second week of dating we were eating lunch and really quietly he whispered into my ear. " I want to kill you... and rape your corpse..." I lost every feeling I ever had for him right then and there but I kept dating him for another two weeks because i didn't want him to hurt me.
Not creepy, we can all use some light-hearted fun, right?
My dad used to work in a psyche ward as a young med grad. One day he decided to have some fun and dressed up as a patient, bare feet, gown, the works and would distribute meds to the patients pretending he was sneaking them stuff the were not allowed to have.
The front desk guard changed while dad was doing this and the other guy didn't know him so, naturally, he didn't believe when dad insisted he is a medic, not a patient. He got put in a room and was woken up by the head doctor doing rounds the next day and told to not ever pull that shit again.
no offense, but ur dad is kinda stupid. why in the hell would u dress up as a patient and distributee meds? hes lucky he didnt get seriously hurt by any of the patients thinking ur dad really was a patient. maybe he needed to be admitted instead of being a nurse?
@Jake Jordan yup
This was absolutely terrifying. The things nightmares are made of.
I’m a caseworker at a women’s behavioral health rehabilitation and recovery center. So many stories, but one that absolutely chills me is one client started sobbing inconsolably one night after lights out, had a full scale panic attack and in an attempt to get away from whatever was scaring her fell out of her bed and hit the floor so hard it cut her head and blacked both eyes. After she came back from the hospital she told us she had seen her dead children looking through the window next to her bed. Her children had died in a terrible house fire a few years ago. I’ve never been scared of her, she’s a wonderful lady, but this keeps me up at night sometimes thinking of the torment she must have felt when her own mind showed her her own children’s burned bodies scratching at her window.
The blind taekwondo kid reminds me of rock lee 😂
The creepiest encounter I had was when I looked in the mirror after waking up today.
Tabari Me too 😂

These daily posts are what I wake up for
I had a friend back in elementary school who frequently saw things that weren't there. She would always talk about the "man in the suit" following her and about a "man with red eyes" who would watch her at night from the front yard of her house. Her parents were so concerned they had cameras installed outside the house and never saw anyone there. But my state will not diagnose before a certain age without extenuating circumstances. It took her lashing out at a teacher for her to be diagnosed and medicated. She is doing fine now from what I've heard.
I worked with high functioning preteens and teens with mental illness as an educational Assistant and I was just waiting for the day when this one kid told me he killed his whole family so he could either live with me or with his dad and his kids and wife. I don't work with them anymore and I'm still waiting his family was absolutely horrendous to him which shaped his autism in demented and scary ways.
Really. You post this one day after world mental health awareness day.
G Cooper I was thinking the same thing. Coincidence? I think not
Not everyone keeps up with "________ Awareness Days"
Are you not more aware?
Are you disapproving?
There's a world mental health awareness Day? Huh, who knew.
the prisoner who sounded like a mafia member must’ve been Armenian. “Live by the knife die by the knife” is an Armenian saying.
live by the sword die by the sword isnt exactly a unique saying
It's from the Bible. "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
I knew a girl from high school who's dad was a psychologist and he was murdered a couple years ago by a client. He was stabbed to death by them at their clinic. It's terrifying of what some people are capable of.
More neurotypical - i.e. "sane" people - commit crimes and violence than people with mental health conditions do.
I'm a lot more scared of the people outside the psych wards than I am of the innocent people inside, who need care and support.
@@MyHeartIsOhMyGod It depends on the mental illness. I’ve gotten so tired of hearing this statistic, because people constantly bring it up to shame people who express even the idea that someone with a mental illness or disorders could be dangerous, and/or to point fingers about how “neurotypical people are the REAL meanies!”. There are a higher proportion of people with Cluster B Personality Disorders in the prison population for example, and a schizophrenic person is sure as hell more likely to do something reckless if their particular case involves them thinking they’re constantly in serious danger. Because I have empathy, but it’s empathy that makes me realize that holy shit, constantly thinking that a demon is out to get me is terrifying and I’d do something violent, and since of course there would be no real demons after me I could seriously hurt someone in that situation.
Mental illness isn’t just depression and anxiety and shit. What are these statistics about anyway? Mental illness in general? Including relatively common ones like depression? Does it take into account ratios of them in the criminal population compared to the general population? Why did most of these crimes happen?
I study social work and have met many wonderful people who are mentally ill. I myself am Autistic and have ADHD, and have had terrible experiences with people misunderstanding my behavior. It’s just that I swear that people who decry anyone even mentioning that people with certain conditions could be more at risk of doing something reckless and, as another commenter who has been replying to other threads is, basically says that it’s always the neurotypical person’s fault, has never actually met someone with serious mental illness.
@@wannabehistorian371 For someone who supposedly studies social work, you really are ignorant, aren't you?
Yes, the statistic is regarding mental health conditions in general. Personality disorders - namely Antisocial Personality Disorder - are more common in prison populations - but APD makes up a minority of the neurodivergent population. Let me remind you that the mental health population includes depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, PTSD, body dysmorphia, and many more; just in case you forgot.
Believe it or not, most violent offenders _don't_ have these conditions. In fact, persons with mental health conditions are more likely to be _victims_ of violence rather than perpetrators.
And yes, that includes psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. You're right, someone with schizophrenia _can_ have a delusion that leads them to commit reckless behaviours. However, these behaviours are more likely to injure _themselves_ rather than other people, and they are very rare to begin with. The vast majority of people with schizophrenia never experience any violence, and of those who do, it's often directed at _themselves,_ not towards others - and it certainly doesn't lead them to grab an assault rifle, walk into a crowded mall, and start shooting at people.
Psychopathy - again, just in case you aren't aware - is not a mental health condition. Rather, it is a _scale,_ on which everyone will have some kind of score.
What this means is that neurotypical people can score very high in psychopathy without ever having been diagnosed with a mental health condition. Because again - _mental health conditions don't automatically predispose people to violence._
As a self-proclaimed social worker, how many of your clients have been violent to you? How many of your clients have been violent to _anyone?_ Because, hi nice to meet you, I'm a psychological researcher. I work one-on-one with persons in distress, the majority of whom have some kind of mental health condition. And of all the clients I've worked with, how many of them do you think perpetrated violent behaviours in the past? Of my 200+ clients, I think less than 10 - and even then, most of those were in self-defense, such as in response to physical aggression from bullies or to escape an abuser.
New question: How many of these people were _victims_ of violence? This includes child abuse, domestic abuse, bullying, rape, etc. Surprise, i reckon that half - if not more - of my cases have involved these themes.
Stop assuming that anyone who actually _knows_ shit about mental health is a "neurotypical who has never actually met someone with serious mental illness", when you don't even know the facts yourself. I don't know why you feel so aggressively prejudiced, but I suggest you wake up and _educate yourself._
@@MyHeartIsOhMyGod Yes. I know that. That’s why I said that that statistic is extremely broad, and I hate it being used to shut up the idea that mental health conditions could make someone more likely to offend, because it includes literally every mental illness. That condescending first paragraph only backs up my point there.
I said I merely study social work, not that I’m a professional myself. Admittedly I’m not experienced in the field, but I have met many people who have.
Did you even read my comment? Though yes, I will admit that you’re definitely more knowledgeable about this than I will ever be, and I was pretty rash in my initial comment because I was probably frustrated about something else. But I just really don’t like this narrative pushed around that because people with mental illness as a whole are more likely to be victims of crimes, all people with mental illness are harmless and it’s the mean old neurotypical’s fault that they did something. It’s just way too broad. Now if I can find more about specifics on this statistic I’ll try to find more on that. But everywhere everyone throws that statistic, and only that statistic, around.
@@wannabehistorian371 "Admittedly I'm not experienced in the field myself" - yet you feel like you have the authority to claim that people with mental health issues are likely to commit violence. That's what frustrates me, because you are far from the only one who believes in this stigma.
If you are looking for more information, consider reading "Violence and mental illness: an overview" by Heather Stuart (2003/2006). You can also read "Risk of violence of inpatients with severe mental illness - Do patients with schizophrenia pose harm to others?" by Edlinger et al. (2014) (though keep in mind that this study examines inpatients with severe schizophrenia, and neglects persons with more minor schizophrenia who would be less likely to become inpatients). Both of these are academic articles published in peer-reviewed journals and should give you some more perspective on the issue.
There are many more of such sources if you are willing to search for them.
I had a therapist who genuinely got off on just messing with everyone. He admitted it too. I’m not shocked when someone told me a story that one of his patients picked him up and threw him over the secretary’s desk. Not surprised at all.
Funny thing about the story of a friend who has psychosis....Psycho is a movie, not any type of medical term. It's not a diagnosis, just a slang term thrown around.
no joke the blind taekwondo kid reminds me of daredevil
‘Bout to use this to get through boring ass study hall. Thanks rSLASH!
You first.
My scaryest has been when i was almost kidnapped in broad daylight 2
I've had some hallucinations in my time, but the scariest was at school about a year and a half ago. I sort of knew it wasn't happening, but my hands were covered in cuts and there was blood everywhere (I'm hemophobic). I couldn't see it, but I could feel it and smell it. I kept shaking my hands, wiping them on paper towels, washing them, trying to wrap them in something. It went on for hours, and I had to go to all my classes and try to hide what was happening. Scary shit.
The prisoner who cried might be the first time I've felt bad for a pedo. Those years of therapy weren't for nothing. His reaction to his depravity reemerging is proof enough of that for me. He has a long way to go, a lot longer than he and many of those around him thought, but that story gave me a glimmer of hope that someone like that is capable of change.
