Hi everyone, I’m new to the details of this case and just began listening to the podcast today! I searched the sub for this topic and didn’t find any posts on it so hopefully this isn’t a rehash. But I’m wondering if Steve could’ve had the delusional disorder erotomania. This is where the individual becomes obsessed with a person romantically and believes the other person is in love with them too. Even if the object of their obsession rebuffs them, the individual often believes the other person is really in love with them too but just can’t be honest because they’re in another relationship or for some other reason. They’ll believe the other person is sending secret or coded signals confirmin

Hi everyone, I think I could’ve had coronavirus in mid-February. I had nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an intermittent fever, hot/cold chills, and body aches for about four days. Then I felt better but had two days of what I thought was severe heartburn. That passed and then I immediately developed what I thought was a chest cold, the main symptom being a nonproductive cough which lasted over two weeks.

I have never experienced heartburn before and the “heartburn” I experienced during this illness was severe. I couldn’t sleep and was crying a lot because it was so painful and uncomfortable.

Antibody tests are available in my area now but I’m waiting until it seems like the testing is better ve

A few weeks ago, when everything first started to ramp up here, I feel like even though I was well aware things were bad, waiting for the next new announcement (school cancelled, bars/gyms/etc. closed, full shutdown) was sort of a distraction of its own. Now, it seems like there isn’t any new information except that the numbers are getting worse and more people are dying and the healthcare system is buckling. Things we knew were going to happen. So all there is to do is sit with how awful everything keeps getting. That’s hard.

I am doing my best to take care of my mental health through all of this and hope all of you are too.

Someone I know said their business will be inspected in the next week to see if they are indeed essential and that this was at Whitmer’s direction.

Pandemic, by Lynn Ungar

What if you thought of it

as the Jews consider the Sabbath—

Cease from travel.

Cease from buying and selling.

Give up, just for now,

on trying to make the world

different than it is.

Sing. Pray. Touch only those

to whom you commit your life.

Center down.

And when your body has become still,

reach out with your heart.

Know that we are connected

in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.

Know that our lives

are in one another’s hands.

Do not reach out your hands.

Reach out your heart.

Reach out your words.

Reach out all the tendrils

of compassion that move, invisibly,

where we cannot touch.

Promise this world your love—

for better or for wor

My husband’s job requires him to go into people’s homes to provide a service. The other day, his coworker was in a customer’s home and overheard the customer speaking on the phone with their doctor, asking if they should be tested due to contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19. My husband’s coworker called the boss and asked to leave the job. And the boss laughed and told him to get back to work. I should note this is a company that is not at risk of going out of business if they have to shut down for a while or cut back. I know that no business is really safe right now given the economic catastrophe this is becoming, but this is not a small business that is doomed to fail if they

I’m a therapist and also a human who has experienced lifelong struggles with depression, anxiety, and ADHD (undiagnosed until just over a year ago). I’ve also had periods in my life during which I overused alcohol and marijuana to cope. I listen to clients all day long describe what it’s like to have family and friends invalidate or shame them for their emotions and I see how such treatment exacerbates their existing emotional problems.

I’m so appreciative of Kelsey on tonight’s WTA and how she truly championed mental health. She called out Tammy for how her words could be shaming to people within BN who have drinking problems, and she also talked about how allowing oneself to be emotionall

Hi everyone,

It is my first time posting here, and I am doing so to warn all of you about a phone scam that happened to me on Friday. I did not see the email until later that the phone call originated from my Psychology Today profile or I might have been more suspicious from the jump. The individual told me he was a police officer from my city and that I had signed for a subpoena and then failed to appear in court. He said there was a warrant for my arrest on two federal charges for failure to appear and contempt of court and that I would need to obtain money for my bond and then appear at the police department to compare my signature to the one on the subpoena. If I did not comply, I would

I was really disappointed upon waking that this was just a dream.
