‘Transitioning’ teen arrested in Florida after faking home invasion, killing mom and mom’s boyfriend: police | The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com
@mitchconner @PNS it’s always whiteness and never the fact that they’re taking brain altering chemicals and being groomed on discord
@marine@breastmilk.club @mitchconner@clubcyberia.co @PNS@noauthority.social mostly peaceful chemicals
@djsumdog @jeff @marine @mitchconner @PNS To be serious for a moment, injecting excess testosterone does seem to have a very bad effect on women. Even those on low doses report reduced impulse control, violent tendencies, etc.
(Whether it is objectively more likely to cause antisocial behaviour in women than naturally occurring testosterone is in men is an interesting question. Does it affect women more, or are men better adapted / socialised / trained to deal with the side effects having gone through gradually increasing amounts during puberty, etc.)
@mitchconner @marine @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick I was on lots of different meds for depression and epilepsy throughout high school and they fucked me up hardcore. The therapy I had while on them was ass. Took a couple years after stopping taking them to feel normal again. Those high school years feel like a completely different person lived them, like I watched someone else's memories. It's really weird.
My best friend got his degree in pharmacology last year and has already quit. Says he hates the culture and doesn't want to be complicit in fucking people over because he's seen it happen in real time. I hope one day we look back on all of this and see what a monstrous machine it was.
@mitchconner @marine @PurpCat @djsumdog @jeff @PNS @Flick in my case the therapists either were weaving God into it since I live in Mormonville or seemed less interested in helping me get better and more interested in getting me out of the office. I was also really closed in and they didn't really do anything that made me trust them enough to open up. It's a bit blurry though too, maybe my parents had something to do with it because I know my siblings had therapy issues because of that.
@djsumdog @marine @mitchconner @PurpCat @jeff @PNS @Flick >I don't think he wanted to see himself as the problem.
This 100% is how my parents were and from talking to my friends about this sort of thing, it just so happens that they have the same thought. Proud and/or manipulative parents. I got punishment instead of help for a lot of stuff. I think some of it came down to image, or perceived image. Like, getting your child help for issues is seen as acknowledgement of those issues and the possibility that you caused/exacerbated them. Grounding them and holding God over their head, telling them to go to the bishop to repent, it's less of an admission on the parents' part. If that makes sense.
I didn't know I had a mood disorder until I was 18 and I didn't know it entailed hypersexuality until I was 24. Would have solved a lot of problems, needless to say. Although I would have needed actual help instead of more drugs and I'm not confident that would have happened... In the end I'm just glad I figured things out for myself eventually, but I catch myself thinking about what could have changed every now and then. I can remember even as a child having these symptoms and it was always brushed off until it couldn't be anymore, so it just got left to fester and it took a lot of work on my own part to begin healing. I'm really lucky to be where/who I am today.
For my other siblings, after my parents' divorce, they had a really good therapist they all liked but he called CPS on my dad because he identified the problem... so my dad switched them to a different therapist that sucked. Later on, my brother tried to an hero and didn't want to take therapy after that, dad forced him to go anyway and when he skipped out on a session he got kicked out. Went with a friend to go pick him up. Was a fun night. My dad's a lot less of an issue now that we are all out of the house, but damn, it was rough.
When you're not content with how things are and you want to change them, and you're resistant to someone just telling you to be content and calm and go with it, and the drugs they give you make you complacent and apathetic, it's torture. Therapy is only good for having someone to vent to. If you really want change you have to take the bull by the horns until your hands are bloody, but nobody wants to tell you that because it's uncomfortable and can sometimes cause a bad image for people. I think having a good, close friend to help beat you up but still catch you when you fall is so much better, but not everyone has that.
