I've been on 50mg Sertraline since I was 13-14 years old and it really helped with my ocd, I'm now 19 and have been on 38mg of Concerta for about a year and a half while still taking the other medication.

Recently my psychiatrist increased my dose in order to get me to quit the Sertraline. I don't really see what the issue is? I told her I was fine with my current dosages but she still wants me to try. I have the choice to do so or to refuse.

Maybe it could help but Sertraline is really shitty to quit. It takes months to lower the dosage and it made me really sick the last time I had to change meds. If it doesn't work, it also takes a while to get back up.

I would be miserable for at the very least 2 months and I'm not sure if I wanna put myself in such situation.

Does anyone have any similar experience? Could the Concerta work on the ocd (I am diagnosed with ADHD too, it's just the ocd is what's the hardest to manage for me)

I also have issues with the lack of appetite side effect and I fear raising the dosage would make that worse I don't know

I live in France in the city Strasbourg, the baby kitty seems fine but the mom seems pretty malnourished and is covered in fleas and small buttons. None of them are aggressive, but with the current heatwave I'm worried about them nit having any shelter, however I'd rather not accidentally steal someone's cat if they actually do have a home. How do I make sure they have that?

I found this kitten with his mom in my neighbourhood. They both seemed to be strays at first, and as I'm moving out to my own place in a few months, I figured maybe I could shelter them for now and adopt them once I'm settled (As I'm moving out, I will still be in the same city, it's a 5 minutes walk from my current place).

Issue is, I'm not sure if the kitten actually "belongs" to someone. He seems healthy and even tought he had a lot of fleas at some point, it seems not to be the case anymore. The mom however is covered in fleas and is very skinny (like malnourished, she's apparently 2 years old, but not much taller than her son to a point I tought they where siblings at first).

I asked the neighbours and got some mixed responses, they gave me the age of the mom, bit also mentioned she was on her 4th pregnancy and that this was her only remaining kitten. The dad is apparently some other neighbours cat, but I can't really pinpoint which ones (we have a lot of cats in the neighbourhood). They don't seem to know if they are adopted or not either.

I don't wanna steal someone's cat but I'm really worried about the mom. At the same time I don't wanna separate her from her kid. What do I do to investigate further?

I've been trying for the past 2 years to talk about my experience at the children psychward. Really really gruesome things (I'm talking actual crimes) happened there and are still currently happening and it needs to get talked about.

I wanted to tell my story but it's really hard to do so when my hands keep shaking. I'm an artist, so I'm making it a comic (also some things are easier to explain trought drawings). It's very frustrating as it makes it hard to draw overall.

I have like 50 different testimonials, my friends sister is currently hospitalised there so I know it's still the same way as when I left it.

For context I was there twice and spend in total 6 months there for anorexia between ages 12-14. Those where forced stays.

How do I make the shaking stop? Does anyone have any advice about that? It happened 5 years ago and it's getting worse the more I write about it

So for context, about 3 years ago, I was discharged from a long stay at a psychward for my ed. I was about 16 at that point, and made quite a lot of friends there. It was my second stay and I had sort of kept in touch with most of the people I got close to in there. However one of the closest ones killed himself shortly after my second stay.

I was the first to get the call so I told the others through the group chat (I know I should have called but I was just crying a lot). Since the funeral I haven't talked to any of them. I miss them and have been for years, but I can't get myself to contact them.

I'm really scared some of them might not be alive anymore either, considering the context in which we met. I fear I might not get told as some of them didn't live with their families and I honestly haven't met most of the remaining ones families anyway.

But at the same time, this exact fear is what caused me to not be there for my friend a whole 6 months before he died. I want to get back in contact, but I don't wanna risk having to go trought grief again.

I don't know what to do, I think I just miss him and want to talk with the other people who knew him too

J'ai actuellement 19 ans et réfléchis à commencer à économiser pour une réduction mammaire. J'essaie d'estimer combiens ça va me coûter et si c'est même possible.

Je n'ai pas un grand bonnet à proprement parler, mais par rapport à mon gabarit ça fait bizarre et ça me complexe. Je doit faire un 75C donc je ne pense pas être éligible au remboursement.

Le souci c'est que ça fait 7 ans que je suis en sous-poid et je ne sais pas si ça peut affecter une potentiel opération. J'ai regardé si il y avait des critères de poids mais j'ai vu que des choses par rapport au sur-poid.

Je ne veux pas économiser pour un truc qui pourrait ne pas être faisable, et un premier rendez-vous en clinique à aussi un coût. Ça peut sembler absurde mais c'est vraiment un gros complexe pour moi, je déteste vraiment ces seins.

So as you probably know if you read the scans, Luffy gets stabbed by Imu at the end of chapter 1188.

As I’ve seen many theories (that I think got confirmed not 100% sure though) regarding Imu’s many weapons belonging to the 20 kings of the lost century, I didn’t read any about their abilities, especially for the first one used on Luffy.

The sword is called “Bofu” or “Bohu“ depending on the source but is translated as “sword of the void” either way. You can also see how it seems to drain the life out of the forest where the fight takes place. Both thought it’s name and the little we’ve seen of its powers, it resembles a lot Black beards fruit in my opinion.

This is pure speculation, but I wonder if it could negate or even take away completely one’s devil fruit powers the same way Black beard does it.

Again, this is mostly just thoughts so feel free to disagree

My aunt has been diagnosed with schizophrenia since she was about 16, she’s now almost 60 but has always refused to take any medication or get any psychological help. I’m aware this is part of the illness but she has been actively putting herself in danger and it seems to be getting a lot worse recently. I’m very worried about her, but I don’t know what to do about it. She currently lives in a ranch with her two horses. Outside of her two neighbours who hate her she is pretty isolated and has no income. Everything gets funded by my grandma but my aunt is also an alcoholic so she burns trough the money extremely fast. She cares for her horses extremely well but those also cost her a lot so she usually has no money at all by the middle of the month.

Recently she has been sending my dad pictures of sticks inside her house. She is very scared and thinks her neighbours have been breaking in to scare her. She also talked about bread being arranged in a geometrical order in her yard to poison her horses.

I know this sounds really unlikely to be true, but her neighbours do hate her and are actively trying to get her to sell the ranch so they could buy it as an extension for their garden. They have been letting their dog shit on her yard before too so I wouldn’t see it as fully impossible.

She when to the police already but they don’t believe her as she has been showing them the picture of the stick on her floor she already showed to my dad.

I don’t know what to do.

I've been diagnosed with anorexia for the past 7 years when I started restricting. However, looking back I'm unsure if that's what it is.

I've always struggled with food and have genuine food phobias, like things I can't touch or come near to without feeling like I'm gonna throw up. When I was a child, it affected every product with milk in it including butter, now it's just cheese and cheese related products. I still hold my breath in the diary section of the supermarket and am absolutely disgusted by meat, so my diet is mostly bread and canned vegetables. It was even worse when I was younger which led to me being already underweight before I even started to restrict.

I don't really now why I even wanted to lose weight in the first place and it got me wondering if it just wasn't anorexia, if it wasn't just cause it feels easier to just not eat in my case.
