"Diane, 1:38 pm, June twenty-second. I ran into Ed Hurley today; the ripple of his biceps beneath his flannel shirt and the bulge in his worn Levi's is indescribable. I will be taking him in for questioning as soon as possible"

OK I pull up? Is that what the youth say on here?

Got to see Midsommar at an imax theater tonight and it was SOOOO worth it to see on the big screen. Normally I have to wear earplugs at the imax because the audio is SO FUCKING LOUD for most movies but it was perfect for this film

They got sugar in them, I'll bet the combo of that, msg, and citric acid may give them that flavor

Could be wrong but I think other countries have more stringent restrictions on preservatives and other junk food additives so they may not have the same recipe as their American counterparts.

Neutral Milk Hotel fucks; I got to see them perform at the Fox Theater in Oakland over a decade ago; I only mention the venue because it's GORGEOUS and was the perfect place to see them. I used to listen to them constantly in middle school/highschool, that's awesome you discovered them!

Are you limited.to a certain number of referrals? I'm seriously thinking about quitting my job and it would be nice to get some extra money if I decide to take extended time before looking for a new job

My dad supposedly hasn't had symptoms of psychosis, but he very recently decided to dry out on his own without medical treatment, and it was bad. He came out of it fine (supposedly) and I can share with you what happened but it's pretty scary and I don't wanna freak you out.

If she is quitting alcohol, besides inpatient detox there may be places near you that do outpatient treatment with medications and trained staff, possibly with peer support options.

Ideal Option has clinics in multiple states and are an agency that provides this kind of care, if she would be more open to outpatient support.

Also, to address the psychosis in the moment: sometimes telling someone that what they are experiencing is imaginary can do more harm than good, especially depending on how severe the psychosis is. It sounds to me like you did an awesome job of reality testing with her to try and get her to maybe believe that there is something else going on. At this point, I would personally tell her that even if no one else experiences it, it must be frustrating/scary/etc. and validate her feelings. Because it IS real for her right now and probably really distressing. That might be able to break through some of her resistance if she just feels like she's being listened to. Sometimes I'll ask questions, like when did you start hearing this? How does it make you feel? Why do you think you can hear it if no one else can hear it?" And maybe make ypur concerns a bit more about you. "I care about you and I'm worried, if anything for my sake can we just go talk to a doctor or just try this thing that might help? And if it doesn't, we can try something else". Could be good for her to hear about how it works from a clinical standpoint too depending on what kind of person the is/how cogent she is at the moment
