  1. There are a few people who have gotten HPPD from bad luck not directly related to voluntary drug use.   But don't 'beat yourself up' about getting this from your own choices.   You can't go back and re-do it a different way.  Don't look back too much.   Try to feel as grounded as you can.  It may not be possible to feel good in this very moment.  The chances of all of us getting better are very good, though.    

  2. Great question.  But here is the thing.  These doctors and experts and scientist know so much more than i do about ...well, science.   I plan on doing a series of video interviews, and hopefully i am able to get some great answers to questions.  What i want to do is make it more accessible to people, and not just scientists.  So i really want questions that don't neccessarily require a scientific answer.  

  3. Also things like anxiety, depression, panic, mental illness in general can be a result of lost love and abandonment and actually being in a situation where you do not have enough money and do not have a home.  Many people assume that the mentally ill end up homeless because they are ill but never consider the idea that people are mentally ill because of the tremendous stress and heartache of being homeless.   This is why the 'black sheep' cycle needs to be broken.

  4. Well, here is my take.  There is a huge amount of psychology going on in a family.  In a way, i don't like it.   Parents want that freedom they had before they had children.  Parents (especially mothers) have a maternal/"i gave birth to you" mentality where the child becomes some sort of a possession.   The child appreciates the love and the hominess but resents lack of autonomy.   The child 'revolts' at a certain age in adolesence and then may even start experimenting with drugs.  Lots of parents don't know how to handle the situation when their boy or girl starts experimenting with drugs.   Lots of times the parent asserts their power as the parent by repremanding and scolding.  That makes the child feel even more alienated as the child comes-to-age; it is a difficult and trying time as it is already for the child.    The child 'revolts' more.  And then the parent either continues to scold and throws their hands up in frustration and gives up on the child while still possessing this thing they call 'child'.   This is where the rift is made.  And then the child is labeled the 'black sheep'.   The label of black sheep almost never goes away.   Two years of being labeled a black sheep will take 30 years to reverse.   So, you, as the child, must maintain focus on your own goals and be determined because usually you have lost the comraderie of a complete family. 

  5. I would be a bit careful.  It is a relatively new drug.  And drug companies always send representatives hawking the new 'drug of the day'.   They go around to doctors offices and sometimes doctors get benefits of some sort by using these new drugs.   So just be careful!!! and research, research, research. 

  6. I am gonna go out on a limb and say F the system. 

    Corrections don't correct they punish.  Why don't they just call it the Punishment System?

     

    Don't get angry.  In the field, you have chosen for yourself, you can't really win.  I mean you can make money as a defense lawyer but the courts are scary and sometimes wrong and sometimes ruins people's lives and sometimes without due process. 

    I think if you let people be and don't judge for yourself that the right thing to do will come to you more clearly.  

    Perhaps not wanting to punch a hole in the wall is a better way to feel. 

     

    Try to stay safe and be safe.  If you have an issue, write a post or talk to a friend.   The site can help you.  : )
