What would be a long term benefit to voluntarily checking into an intensive outpatient program at the mental hospital, only for them to give you just a generic list of all services that they could find anywhere, regardless of relevance to your condition or not? Assuming that all the group...

It's not so much that choosing not to argue about something trivial still results in an argument. It's more that when I look back on times where I took the high road by not pushing back, there was never a job that I kept or a friendship that I kept by doing so. For all the jobs where a bully...

What I'm looking for is some way to maintain a relationship with former coworkers after leaving a job so that I have a reference if needed.

I live in a relatively highly populated area, yet, it's exceedingly rare to meet people anywhere who either like their job or have a "solitary" hobby outside of work or have a social life (including a hobby group or general hangout group) Even volunteering for a charitable cause only helps me...

Unfortunately most of the people I've met at work don't use social media or LinkedIn. In the exceedingly rare "unobtanium unicorn" case of someone having an account there, they inevitably never post anything or reply to messages. (Unless you count blocking someone who simply said "hello" as a...

Most places I've worked, there aren't really any opportunities to cover for people or assist them in their duties, or provide for them in other ways. At the same time, none of them do something after work that lends itself to other people being involved or accept invites on your part. Even if...

For every life lesson I've learned, like petty things to not argue about or make a big deal about, there have been exactly 0 opportunities to avoid an argument about something. When it's just between peers, people just ghost you out of nowhere, no rhyme or reason. You could lose someone you've...

Everyone who I prayed for a better relationship in their future, without fail, found a worse one. Even people I probably wouldn't have seen or contacted again, I always end up finding out that their life just kept getting progressively worse. 100% of any real life relationship success stories...

Thanks. Things aren't that bad, but I'll keep that in mind in case I'm actually ever that upset. Actually, one of the things that got me banned from a mental health support subreddit, is simply posting that one should also consider their local hotline to be an option. Because there's almost...

I still have the box set on DVD! It was hard to find on streaming for a while, but now it's reappeared. But I'm holding onto the DVDs until the day they die.

I just wanted to be able to share some anecdotes of my past, some of which I find more funny than the average person, others seem to bother me more than the average person. Also, sharing calming acts that worked for me. But I wanted to share it with others, because even those who might not be...

I've of course tried Reddit. On several different mental health "support" subreddits, you can follow every rule to the letter and then some, and still get blocked anyway. Ditto if you were to ask another member what words to avoid saying on this subreddit so you don't get blocked. Therefore, I...

Thanks for at least being one of those who responded. :)

Monday at 4:45 PM #1 By "support" I don't mean actually solve a problem they have. I get how unsolicited advice might be taken the wrong way by some people. I mean more like when I meet someone anywhere that gives people the time of day, they're always the type of person that doesn't get along...
