This is heartbreaking news but I can’t get over the “pro-democracy law maker Nathan Law”
Like you wouldn’t believe! Im jealous of her ability to pass out in the most uncomfortable positions
Here she is in all of her glory
I really like startpage, but I’m pretty sure it’s just Google with some tweaks
The leader of an oppressive organized religion? Using slurs? Say it ain’t so!
We don’t need more blobs of suburban “neighborhoods”. Urban centers should be renovating/repurposing vacant properties and infilling empty areas. It’s a matter of building more densely and not tearing down nature for the sake of private equity firms bottom lines
Interchanges, plazas and malls
And crowded chain restaurants
More housing developments go up
Named after the things they replace
So welcome to Minnow Brook
And welcome to Shady Space
Well it all seems a little abrupt
No, I don’t like this change of pace
I thought kiwis were more tame than aussies
This isn’t a problem with “my” definition of cure. I’m using the commonly understood definition. If someone is successfully managing their type 1 diabetes with insulin and a healthy diet we don’t say they’re cured. They still have diabetes. If they stopped taking their meds and ate a ton of carb heavy foods they’d wind up in the hospital in a matter of days.
Same goes with mental illness. If you stop taking your meds, going to therapy, etc. your mental state will decline again. They’re still mentally ill, they’re just managing it.
Perhaps some people have acute moments of distress to the point where it’s clinically significant and treatment helps them weather that moment. Eventually they may return to their baseline of not needing drugs or therapy. But given the context of this thread (a woman killing herself after a decade of unsuccessful treatment) I figured it was fair to assume chronic mental illness. Something to the tune of major depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, etc.
The word cure isn’t a fluid term to me or most people. It’s something that connotes permentant relief of a person’s signs and symptoms of a given illness. Something that often isn’t the case for mental illness
Name a single curable mental illness.
I’ll help you out: there aren’t any. Some can be managed and worked around in day to day life. Some people may achieve a reasonable quality of life, but their illness will never totally disappear
Did you read the article? She’s been in intensive care for her mental health for a decade. This wasn’t some spur of the moment decision. Its taken 10 years to get to this point. To state that mental illnesses are curable and non-progressive is pure ignorance and you would do yourself well to learn how poor the prognosis is for people with severe mental illness. There isn’t a cure. You never feel whole or normal. Medication is a shot in the dark most of the time. Therapy doesn’t help everybody. Some people are truly and completely untreatable, and she is one of those people
Meh, prudes ruined the fun. There ain’t nothing wrong with some titties
They’re putting chemicals in the water, making the frickin whales literate!
I like to jiggle my cats pouch when he walks near me. He isn’t nearly as entertained as I am
He’s still relatively old as fuck. If you can collect social security you shouldn’t be running a country
I’m here to flame you for your lack of cable management
I don’t know what you did but you need to get your shit together
