Re: Mental illness is dumber
I've said that the Mormon God is the original absentee father figure in my life, heh. Ha, Stuntman and I did an episode of our podcast on that idea (and attachment in general). Fantastic. Thanks for the kind words. My psychiatrist and new therapist each reminded me that BPD only really exists where...

Re: Churchy Faithy Stuff
It sounds like you are exactly where I was soon to when I left. I’m sorry. It isn’t easy or fun. That’s what finally motivated me to leave.

Thanks for the reminders, Whistler and Zed. I needed them. Thanks for talking sense. It helped me.

Re: Mental illness is dumber
I just read on Wikipedia (sourced to the DSM) that at least half of cases improve over time, so my stereotype is not true. Yeah, both the psychiatrist and my group's therapist have both stressed that BPD is treatable, and that with 6-8 years of DBT, etc. many people (most people?) can stop having e...

Re: ghost town
I completely agree with your conclusion, and I think it's marvelous that you are nerdy enough to track all of that. Hats off.

Also I think they have a LOT of overdue questions. I’m waiting on two myself, one for over a month.

Re: Mental illness is dumber
I started day treatment a couple of weeks ago for depression and anxiety. As part of that, I've had the pleasure of working with the single best psychiatrist I've ever seen. She diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder. I was comfortable with major depressive disorder, with dysthymia, with ...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Right? Every time I have to tell someone where I went to school, either for tutoring gigs or on a personal level, I feel like I have to either distract and be vague ("I went to college in Utah") or give a disclaimer ("In a different lifetime, I went to BYU," "I went to BYU b...

Re: 90302 - How to help a young, sexually assaulted family m
Also, call a crisis line. They should be aware of resources in the area, even and especially low- or no-cost services. You can also consult places that deal a lot with young adults with parental issues or lack of support. LGBT centers come to mind. They might have ideas, even if the kid in question ...

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/90302/ I can tell I've been watching a lot of RuPaul's Drag Race (because it is the only meaningful thing life has given us, Ru be praised) because I wanted to start this comment off with, "No T, no shade." Waiting to get someone into therapy after a traum...

Re: Rant of the Day
My ultra-TBM (stake patriarch, former stake president, etc.) paternal grandfather died this week. Five or six years ago, when my youngest sister graduated from high school, I happened to be ready to introduce my family to a girlfriend for the first time. (She wasn't my first girlfriend, and I had be...

I LOVED parts of it, like the studies she cited that demonstrate that obesity and genetics have a strong relationship. I wished that the first part of her answer had been less conciliatory, hey-buddy-I-can-see-you're-a-reasonable-guy-I'm-gonna-be-nice-so-you'll-listen-y. I'm sure that that bit was p...

Re: Hello? Is it me you're looking for?
Yeah, I am having the same reaction to the Kosher Boardboard.
I just moved in with Unlucky Stuntman and her boyfriend in Portland a little less than two weeks ago. My girlfriend is coming for a visit tomorrow. I've made a lot of progress since moving.
