      If your mental health is at a point where you have screaming arguments with your hallucinations, being left to your own devices rather than to be under medical care doesn't seem like the right choice to me, at all.

      It’s possible that, given it was mentioned earlier that he was on psych meds, he didn’t take them that day and it caused a hallucination/delusion that, because he was so excited about the eviction and was convinced it would work, it affected the hallucination as well causing it to stop. At least that’s what I think.

    Story 35 54:48 - this sounds like OCD. Obsessive thoughts about bad things, including things like words that will not leave your head and committing unspeakable acts. The main thing is that these thoughts are not associated with any desire to actually commit them and are not urges, are absolutely _horrifying_ to the person having them, and won't stop. That's what the obsessive in OCD refers to, it's not a description of the compulsions like hand washing/tics/etc like people seem to think. It's actually a separate thing, that when combined with the compulsions, makes up OCD. Without the compulsions, obsessive intrusive thoughts like this can be part of schizophrenia.
    And, speaking from experience, having these thoughts is absolutely terrifying. I had no desire to act on these thoughts, there were no urges to do these things, just a thought that popped into my head every time a certain trigger occurred and would not go away and it was disgusting. They stopped entirely when I got on the right medication, which is how I know it wasn't me thinking these things, just a horrible side effect of imbalanced brain chemistry.

    Ok so-- the guy in 35 might actually be a form of OCD. Looking to sue is something else, this should have been brought to a dotor not a lawyer. But the fact that he was having these obsessive thoughts, is trying not to act on them and actively sought out help is a kinda a good thing tbh. Calling him a racist predator is kinda icky if he is actively trying to control these compulsions and not do anything horrible. Good on him for going to the psych ward and I hope his meds get balanced so he can manage the compulsions.

    Story 35 bothers me because the guy doesn’t seem to be racist or a predator. He sounds more like he is suffering from OCD.
    Many people think OCD is simply wanting things clean and organized and while that is one subtype there are many other symptoms. The main part is unsettling intrusive thoughts that distress the person having them.
    With the guy in the story it sounds like he had an OCD theme revolving around racism that has now changed to POCD.
    OCD is debilitating to live with and is made worse by how misunderstood intrusive thoughts are. They are not desires they are your brain attacking itself to make you afraid, like the cancer of mental illness.

    my one of these was so confusing... because I was working Tech Support.
    I had a client call up to get help with her phone (the one she was calling on) because she couldn't call out. I worked out that it seemed like she didn't have any credit, nothing to do with actual tech failings, and advised her that she could check which company she was with in the settings, showed her how, and was like "they're who you need to talk to" before she started to say she couldn't call out because the police were locking her phone and had stopped her being able to call anyone... and that she needed me to call a lawyer for her so they wouldn't know
    Let's just say I did my best to tell her how to explain that I was a tech support person, not a god, and basically didn't get an outside line, so she still needed to contact the cellphone companies or try free numbers to talk to the lawyers.

    That one on the old soldier reminds me of my great grandfather. He made it explicitly clear to us that he wouldn't accept intervention or help from the family, and that he wanted to go out on his own terms. And, well, he did. He was found deceased in his home of a heart attack after spending the last 70 years of his life working. Grandpa Rex was a wonderful man who knew exactly how he wanted to go out and refused any input on his decision. I used to go to the post office he worked at as a kid and marvel at the mail sorting machinery they had, he seemed pretty happy there. But he was never the same after our great grandma passed, and we all knew it, so we respected his decision. I don't think there was a legal mess over it, either, since he passed of natural causes and he'd made his will clear.

    20:00 it’s really awesome when you use the word “chicken” in a story about actual chickens- I promise- it does not make the story sound absolutely terrible- wait that was a lie- it does make the story sound totally absurd. There are so many words you could have replaced dick with- member & junk are two simple examples- I would think with the narrator being a dude his vocabulary for a part of the body he has had since birth (presumably) would not be so limited that he couldn’t think of one other word to replace “dick”. I also don’t understand why grown up words CANT be used on an app where there is a kids version of the app. I guess when you decide to not work and call UA-cam a “job” then you have to pucker up to kiss ass so as not to miss out on a paycheck. I liked it better when UA-cam channels were ran by people with a spine and didn’t depend on UA-cam to pay their rent. When UA-cam pays your bills because making a video a week is easier than having an actual job then you stock up on Chapstik like Diddy stocked up on baby oil- it’s probably easier to kiss ass when your lips aren’t chapped.
    I miss the days when adults could use adult language- instead adults have to hear how Jeffery Dahmer “unalived” people- because the truth of Dahmer murdering people is too harsh to hear-
    A dick is a dick, not a chicken.
    Dahmer and Bundy killed people, they didn’t “unalive” anyone-
    UA-cam was better when “creators” were not terrified of missing out on ad revenue because they had actual jobs and YT was a hobby- not their only source of income. It’s all a little too kid friendly and the stories from Reddit sound ridiculous with the stupid replacement words narrators choose.
