yes, this happens everywhere! it became even more prominent when the troll farms began to flood popular social media sites (facebook, ig, yt, tiktok, etc). prime examples are cerimedo w bolsonaro’s election, and later on cerimedo w milei.
the mythical leftist spaces move from site to site when there’s censorship or shadowbans. or they create their own subreddits like a few that I know. but yeah, i also found lemmygrad this year and am glad it exists. saludos, compa.
oh ok, I misread!!
Keep us updated. Ive never taken lurasidone but fingers crossed that it works for you!!
Was vraylar doing anything for you?
You know your symptoms more than anyone else, so try to keep track of the positives but please dont ignore the negatives. As soon as something starts to feel “wrong” or you feel any physical sideeffects talk to your psych. There was one atypical antipsych that did wonders for me but had my ankles swelling up to the point where I could no longer walk. So just a heads up.
I know that some antipsychs that specifically target depression can cause hypomania or mania, so write down any unusual symptoms so you can keep your psych updated on anything. But yeah, be patient, some meds start working 2-3 weeks later, some sooner. It does depend on the body.
Also, meds are mostly on an individual basis. What works for someone else might not work for you and vice versa. I have a friend that was on sertraline and it made him feel worse, but for me sertraline works wonders.
Yay!
Free Palestine, comrade.
Alot of people still do not know what to do with survivors of csa/sa/dv. Be it ignorance, I mean, that’s the easiest one to understand. It is patriarchal in nature and most days it is so tempting to give up. But spite sort of keeps me going, for all the people that decide to give the benefit of the doubt to abusers instead of protecting survivors, especially at that age. It’s disgusting. I’m glad you spoke up, I swear it rots your blood to keep abuse hidden. And we’ve come to a point where so many people are coming forward that it’s no longer easy to brush it all under the rug. And it’s because one person spoke up. So it’s never meaningless.
We owe it to one another to speak up even if your voice shakes. There are so many others that will find their own strength and courage by seeing survivors that no longer hide in the shadows. This is how we cultivate community. But yeah, I’m glad you’re still around comrade.
If it makes you feel better, I don’t know who that is!!
it’s a fun horror comedy. it takes the typical horror tropes and plays around with them.

They’re going to try to intimidate and dissuade you in anyway possible.
Know your rights as a student and pass that knowledge onto your friends. It must be very overwhelming being the only one to organize, so maybe try to find likeminded people who can share the weight with you. I would try to find teachers that are in agreement with what you’re doing, along with staff and whatnot. You already have the support of students, so try to remember that. It might be time to work on some pamphlets to spread knowledge and info, I would also use it as a way to voice what’s been going on with the school admin.
I’m pretty sure they are not allowed to keep you from class.
There is no conflict to be resolved, you are exercising your freedom of speech. I think their worries are more along the lines of being responsible for the students even outside of school. From experience, the schools mostly care about the possibility of lawsuits…
edit: Also, do you have a support system? I read your previous post and you mentioned SA. From one survivor to another, I know how difficult it is, especially if you are alone. I would look for support groups near you. Im proud of you, ok?
Happy Birthday!!
Beautiful!
There are different types of empathy and it can be learned.
With the history of the mental health system, at least in the US, it began as a very racist and patriarchal practice. Throughout the years however, most of the diagnoses have changed due to the research not being backed by religious groups. Thankfully there are marxist analysis on psychology, which I think will be really helpful. Not to mention that how the west deals with mental health is different from how it is dealt with in the east.
Btw, nowadays psychopath is an outdated term, “antisocial” has replaced it.
Yes, I know what you mean. I don’t understand tone, most jokes, sarcasm, or social cues at all. If you have close friends, you could try asking them how you come across if that’s truly important to you. How do people express their frustration and anger? Deescalation techniques are good to learn if there’s conflict over a misundertanding. I’ve understood over the years that I’m not normal and I began to actively learn about how I differ from neurotypicals and what I can do to self-soothe when situations became too stressful. I get along with people that understand what I go through. It is more difficult to be around people that don’t understand but it’s not impossible.
Has it made you feel anything weird? It might be too soon but you never know!
