My sister experienced delusions for months, like celebrities were spying on her & smear campaigning. She had no insight & still believes that. We changed her meds & doctors as soon she started having bad side effects.

But now she has quit APs completely & won't see doctor. I'm in a bad financial situation & have 5 mental disorders myself. I want to support my sister but she starts sending me abusive texts & calls 20 times out of nowhere (she has accused me of harassing her during one of her episodes few yrs back, so I just let everything slide).

There's no disability option for her in my country, no other caregiving support, emergency services, etc. I've accepted that she's an adult & I can't force or convince her to get help anymore. What do I do in this situation?

I've finished my Master's in humanities field from a tier-1 university. Although I had job offers, the office hours, the pressure, constant upskilling, mass layoffs made me not go for them. I'm considering PhD too.

I've no idea about competitive govt exams, but do you guys think it's something that's achievable in short span of time? What would you suggest? And which govt jobs should I target? All this given the corruption & leaks in ques papers?

Myquals: I just finished my MA in a foreign language from a tier-1 university and I'm eligible to sit for the UGC-NET this year. From a long term pov, I NEED a stable job. Seeing the lay offs in corporate, especially in my field is making me worry, so I'm thinking to pursue a PhD.

I know humanities is a broad field, but if you're pursuing or have finished your PhD in sociology, history, international relations, languages, linguistics or anything really, how's it going? What's the scope in your field? Do you regret it?

If so, how's it going? What's the scope after PhD? Do you regret it?

Please share your experiences.

We were watching YouTube and Clara Dao appeared, and I let my friend know all the controversy around her. Then I showed her Spencer and she asked why people dislike her. Do you guys have any say on this?

My doctor and I have discussed several times about my excessive sweating.

He's suggesting I take meds atleast in summers but I'm concerned about worsening my dry eyes. But I can't do anything because of SWEATING. What has been your experience on meds?

It's probably the worst day of my life. I've been crying the whole day. I really feel like nobody cares about me. I always get so enthusiastic on my loved one's birthday but on my day, something always goes wrong.

I've had birthdays in childhood when not a single person remembered, and I was fine then. But this year, I GENUINELY feel like everyone wants to use me only when they need someone. I feel pathetic as if I'm an ugly loser. :(((

With my current financial situation, I can no longer afford to spend money mindlessly. However, I find that being frugal can be inconvenient sometimes - and I don't have the patience.

For example, using longs hours of public transport over cabs (this saves A LOT).

Being around people who spend a lot of money (because they can) doesn't help either.

I'd appreciate some of your experiences on how you started living frugally and how it became a habit.

I want to be me and me alone for one goddamn day. My life is chaotic, I need to pick myself up before this sadness takes the best of me. I can't afford therapy. I don't have anyone to rely on.

How're you all holding up? I'm so tired already, Idk for how many years this will go on man.

I've AuDHD, OCD & anxiety.

I've explosive anger since childhood. It's a lot in control now but once I start to feel even a bit of annoyance, I can't talk myself out of it. I've seen NTs being angry and they let things go easily but I EXPLODE.

I really don't like this one thing about myself, I've ruined days and weekends just because I got mad over a silly thing.

I'm the caregiver of my sister who has psychosis. My sister is quitting her meds and has no insight (she became a lot better on meds so now she thinks she doesn't need them).

Have you ever given APs another try after quitting them?

My sister was diagnosed with Delusional Disorder 2 months ago after being in psychosis for MANY years. She doesn't know this. We've changed doctors and finally found an AP that suited her. She got very low insight, aggression went away, personal care improved.

Now she's adamant on stopping meds since she thinks she's better and wants to heal "naturally". I can't beg her to comply anymore. What do I do?

my sister has been suffering from psychosis for very long and we recently sought help (now she's on APs). our financial condition may get bad in a few months and i can't pay for her too because we'll go broke without savings that way.

was your loved one in psychosis able to get out of it and hold down a job eventually? pls be brutally honest.

My sister has been dealing with delusions for years without treatment. We recently sought treatment & trying APs. She's somewhat non-compliant, mostly due to the side effects which I've read are really bad.

Another reason is that she believes that she's not psychotic (the doctor has not yet given any diagnosis) & therefore, doesn't need APs.

I don't want her off meds because otherwise she'd end her life or something similar. It's real bad. Pls suggest how can I make her comply with/try APs? Pls shed some light on this.

My family member dislikes their doctor. They believe they're being prescribed wrong medicines (APs). And the doctor doesn't engage in their delusional convos, so they feel unimportant and unheard.

Important to note that APs are causing side effects (sleepiness). I genuinely don't know what to do in this situation.
