Search Results: mental illness

I struggled with severe mental illness and developmental/maturity delays all throughout my life, even well into my 20s. I didn't get my first real, serious girlfriend until age 29, whom I am now engaged to. Now at 30, I realize my life up to this point has been very turbulent. I have a high school diploma, but lack a degree. My most recent roles have been in tech, but I was fired back in July of last year and haven't recovered in my career since. Yet, the tech landscape has changed so drastically these past 4-5 years that my once high-in-demand skills are becoming the skills of yesterday.

Where it stands today, I continue to collect disability checks and Medicare while I move back to my mom's house in search of my next career move. Fortunately, I have my own living space at my mom's house so it doesn't become awkward for my fiance.

GOP state Sen. Justin Eichorn arrested on suspicion of soliciting sex with a 16-year old girl

State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested in Bloomington on suspicion of soliciting a minor for sex.

Bloomington Police led Eichorn, 40, to believe he was talking to a 16-year old girl and then met the senator and arrested him Monday near the 8300 block of Normandale Avenue, according to a Bloomington Police Department press release.

Senate Republicans are calling for Eichorn’s resignation...

----

In 2021 he objected to a bill requiring Minnesota schools to teach about sexual orientations and gender identities, saying “before you know it, they’ll be reading kids ‘50 Shades of Grey.’ This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”

Eichorn was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2016 and works at his family’s outdoor store in Grand Rapids.

Eichorn also co-authored a bill to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.

At least one Republican legislator has already called on Eichorn to resign — Rep. Elliot Engen, R-White Bear Township.

“Resign in disgrace. Prosecute to the fullest. Throw away the key,” Engen posted on X.

Here's my take: for every accusation they make against lgbtq folks being possibly pedo they are in reality confessing to their own crimes. see Matt Gaetz as another prominent example. So just remember this rule going forward. Every accusation made by them is a confession!

Republican Senators in Minnesota Propose Bill to Classify ‘Tr*mp Derangement Syndrome’ as a Mental Illness

group of five Republican state senators from Minnesota is set to introduce a controversial bill that would classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness.

The proposal, scheduled for review by the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, argues that the condition is characterized by an “acute onset of paranoia” triggered by the presidencies of Donald Trump.

According to the bill’s text, TDS symptoms include “Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump’s behavior.” The legislators further suggest that these symptoms may manifest as intense verbal hostility and even “overt acts of aggression and violence” towards Trump and his supporters.

my honest prediction is this will never pass and is just these politicians wanting attention and think d*ck riding Trump is the way to stay in power. The fact that they felt like this was ok to do is troubling to me. but whatever what do you think?

I believe the pre-Obama era, up until around 2007 was a decent time. Some may say earlier times were even better, and I cannot say I disagree, but I believe these were the last times when people were more down to earth, less absorbed in the Politically Correct (PC) culture (which ran rampant during the Obama years), and were more motivated and optimistic for success.

It could have been because I was still wearing rose colored glasses and I was still rather naive and a kid, considering these years were my elementary school and preteen years. My adolescent years were rough and plagued with severe mental illness. My adulthood years introduced nightmarish situations of their own.

My favorite childhood year was 2004. My parents were more financially sound, I had my best friend at the time named Nick, and the cartoons were good. I could balance technology and playing outside. Kids still went trick or treating and played outside. I rode my bike around and played on my GameCube. I enjoyed my Crash Bandicoot Wrath of the Cortex and Zelda windwaker. My imagination ran wild and I could enjoy the simpler things, even just playing in the backyard and building "ponds" and trenches.

Today, everyone is buried in their phones. People are harsh, tempermental, greedy, tired, lonely, and antisocial. Everyone is beaten down with politics, inflation, and financial burden. People seem to lack empathy and compassion. Corporate greed is insane. People don't take pride in their work. It is sad what we have become.

There was an Autistic young man fairly recently that died in jail custody following an Autistic meltdown. He was improperly restrained, resulting in his death. It did not gain any national attention. It most certainly did not result in a George-Floyd-style riot. If he were to have been a minority, you bet it would have made national headlines.

Xiden-era DEI policies placed so much focus on race and gender identity, it essentially ignored those with mental illness or other social/developmental disabilities. These people are likely the most vulnerable populations of them all. To add insult to injury, blame was almost always placed on weapons, not addressing underlying factors.

In addition, DEI favored individuals other than those who were white.

As a straight, white male on the Autistic Spectrum and severe mental illness, I feel I was hugely at a disadvantage. I have never faced so much instability as I did under the Xiden regime. Between my industry being shot and facing uphill battles with my health, it has forced me back to square one again, trying to figure out how to maintain stability again.

Sadly, the leftists are so jaded, they cannot recognize the immense damages that have occurred.
