Anybody else encounter the Magic Man when you’re out at bars? I’ve seen him at Danny’s and The Shelter but he’s probably all over town. He’s a scruffy older white dude that just bar hops and does card tricks, never drinks. His catchphrase is “There ain’t no fucking way!”
Found on Mt. Lemmon, AZ.
Saw this pretty boy (?) on the ground in a parking lot. I apologize for the crappy picture quality.
You shouldn’t mix alcohol and antidepressants at all but, ya know. I’m not a small person either. Definitely saves money at the bar.
Can anybody else relate?
My father has been diagnosed with psychotic depression since ~2022. For about six years, he has episodes of health-related delusions (always thinking he’s dying of something), rumination, inability to work or appropriately socialize. He is functional enough to take care of himself and refuse treatment/medication but is still too sick to be a normal person, for lack of better way to say it.
He never was a good father. Nothing abusive or outrageous, but distant and uninvolved. Once my brother and I grew out of being small and cute, he became uncomfortable with us. So, I don’t know if I would have had an adult relationship with him anyways.
I feel conflicted. I don’t know where my father begins and his mental illness ends. Every time I speak with him, it is very emotionally draining and difficult. He has no one left in his life, my mother divorced him after his years of rejecting psychiatric treatment. The guilt of being a bad daughter eats at me.
On a primal level, I care about him. That’s my Dad, after all. It hurts to know he is suffering. On the other hand, I suffer immensely in my relationship to him. I have tried every avenue available in my country to try to get him help. I am exhausted and just want to move on with my own young adult life.
Thank you for reading, if you did.
Do psyllium husk pills help curb binging? I really love the feeling of my stomach being full. I’d imagine it would be dangerous to purge though with a choking risk :/
As the summer heat quickly boils up and we all hunker down inside, friendly reminder to make sure you supplement vitamin D! Avoid the reverse seasonal depression! Good dietary sources include egg yolks, fatty fish, fortified milks and yogurts, and UV-treated mushrooms.
I would love to have a little adventure kitty, but walking a cat outside on a leash scares me to death! I worry about aggressive dogs, getting offleash and running away, parasites, an eagle swooping down and making away with my cat (??!!)
What do you do to mitigate these dangers? How often do you encounter risky situations?
