All near Los Angeles.
I also hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Berkeley in which I attained in 3 years at the age of 20. Once in a child’s facility, twice in the adult one. 🤠🤘
I’m doing well these days. So hey, I’m an open book. 📖 Ask me anything. I won’t hold back.

I’ve been in there 4 times. Are you in America?
What was the reasoning to send you there each of the three times and who made the call?
What about the system worked? What needs to change—if you had to pick one?
If you don’t mind sharing what were the reasons so young? And in three years that’s insane. I was a four years and felt like I was moving at lightening speed at 22. Nicely done.
Were they state initiated or did family have you held?
Who messed you up?
Who facilitated you being held? And how is your relationship with them now?
Diagnosis?
Ask the hospital the next time you get held do you get a card that gives you the fifth hospitalizations free.
Have you tried psychedelics in a professional setting?
why? do you have mental desorder?
Grip?

Do you consistently take your meds?
Do hospitalizations help you? What do they do for you?
What techniques do you use to cope with anxiety or stress?
Here’s my theory: 95% of the people who get into the mental health field are either looking at themselves or someone close to them. Only 5% are altruistic. Agree or disagree?
what drove you to study psychology?
relatedly, and don’t take this the wrong way please, but i’ll say it bluntly to be clear: why are there so many fucked up people in the profession? i was friends with a lot of therapist’s kids growing up: they ended up going the deepest off the deep end. friends of mine from college who ended up in mental health fields are also the ones who struggled the most, mentally, when we were in college.
thirdly, why should i take guidance/seek help from someone who i suspect can’t even keep it together themselves? seems counterintuitive.
What single thing to you feel helped you the most?
Do you have tattoos? Do you date?
I think my sister has mental health issues. Right now she is no contact with me, mom and dad. What can we do to help? My mom enables her by giving her money. But my sister says basically my mom isn’t her mom and is just waiting for her to die to take over her apartment. My mom still puts $ in her account. What should we do?
Who paid this after you turned 25? (Aging out and off your parents insurance). Assuming.
Thank you

I was detained in psyche wards in Canada 3 times in just the last year. I lost 3.5 months of my life unjustly trapped in the ward.
Did you get grippy socks?
Do you feel like your time there was beneficial at all? What did you like and dislike?
