I am trying to legally get Flock cameras out of this city but have no clue where to start. Ive never done something like this and I don't know anybody who has. Google isn't much help, neither are the official documents. I've even tried calling government legal officials to ask them but no one wants to answer their phone.

Where do I start?

I live in the capital city of my state and Flock cameras are popping up everywhere. I know a lot of citizens in my city agree with me in thinking that there's nothing good to come out of them. I want to petition, get signatures, the whole thing to try and legally get the cameras out of my city. Only question now is...

How do I possibly start doing that??? 😭

Ive struggled with self harm my whole life ever since I was around 13. It's usually something I can deal with but sometimes I get phases where it's difficult to ignore.

First it was around 13, my mom found the scars and my parents yelled at me for it. Made me feel guilty because "what if your little brother saw you and thought it was cool and got himself hurt/killed".

Second was around 19 when a friend of mine committed suicide. I ended up telling my chaplain (we were in the military at the time) and eventually my spouse.

Now it's the third time. I'm struggling not to relapse with ways to have the same "release" (ice cubes, those little squeeze spiky toys, etc). They don't quite "do the job" though. I've kept this phase to myself a lot. My parents have no clue Ive ever done sh since the first time they caught me. My husband doesn't know about this time.

I just want to tell him about it but I feel like such a burden. I'm autistic and have ADHD, and Im currently on new ADHD meds. Ive been trying new ones for the past year and a half, which I contribute slightly to my issues. But I've become so sensitive, intolerable, etc to a point I'm sobbing every day at something. I don't want to exhaust him more with this but I don't know what else to do.

Hi I am a 24 year old woman. From infancy to the age of 5 I had epilepsy and seizures (stiff, stopped breathing, turning blue kind). I was on medications the entire time I had seizures. I even got put in an accidental coma from a careless nurse giving baby me an adult dose on accident (I think that I was okay lol).

However, in the past year and a half I have been working with my psychiatrist and trying out a bunch of different ADHD medications (cause yeah I also have ADHD). The one I've been on for the past few months is Venlafaxine (an anxiety medication).

I think I've been having "déjà rêvé" attacks nearly my whole life. Usually it's just once every few months and it just feels a little disorienting. However it's gotten a LOT worse the past month. I could be doing something completely normal, like sitting outside with my dog, and suddenly I get hit with a memory of something that I've never actually experienced, but I have a memory of it. My assumption is it's memories of past dreams I've dreamt. Some are dreams I've had multiple times, even.

Just remembering dreams isnt horrible, but it's the associated symptoms. My head feels like it's full of liquid, I get super nauseous, I feel like I can barely move, sometimes my vision even distorts things I'm looking at (like my feet suddenly get really long) until I really focus on them. It's gotten to a point, like today, where before I'm even out of bed I'm having an attack. I've been up and doing things around the house for about 4 hours now and I just had my third attack.

The newest change in this event is now I'm getting hot flashes during the attacks.

All this is to say, should I be worried that this is a sign of my epilepsy coming back? Could it be because of my medications?

And of course, I have already consulted my doctors and I have appointments and tests scheduled to see, but I'm sure fellow veterans know how long VA medical can take to see us, so I just need some people to talk to about this.

Thank you ❤️

TL;DR: I'm getting really bad "déjà rêvé" (already dreamt) symptoms in my early twenties, I had epilepsy from 0-5 years old, I'm on ADHD medications that could be causing it. And I'm just a bit scared and need to get others opinions ❤️

So the patient has some issues that results in electroshock to his brain as the only treatment. The point is to wipe some memories of his so his broken heart is gone.

My question is, why wouldn't they try seudo-science or placebo strategies first? The brain is super powerful, I'm sure if the doctors told him it would 100% work (through hypnosis, saying they'll shock him but don't, etc, doens't matter how), there was a small chance it would of worked??
