TBH, its about GAD, phobias and schizophrenia so I thin k I'll do well just from hanging in TDS. I think I have learned more here than the textbook can provide

Hahaha I felt exactly the same way with introductory psych OD! I think that's why I did so well in that subject :D
And we had heaps of online tests as well, it does seem weird but hey, that's how all the cool kids are doing it these days...
:)
Oh, and good luck!!! <3

Way to go on that quiz. Although it was online. Just kidding.

So I have a question with a good example. I mentioned my sister earlier - she had brain cancer which resulted in 2 emergency surgeries, and some permanent brain damage but she is OK and high-functioning. If you don't know her past or know her well you would just think she was a bit goofy or weird or something. She is 21 and lives with my parents.

Anyways, so today, she needed help finding her cellphone (a droid which she shouldn't have gotten since she hardly uses the phone anyways and breaks them like no one's business) anyways, we go out to the last place it was, and it was lying in the snow outside my dad's truck and had been there for like 5 hours. At this point I ask her why it wasn't in her purse. This pisses her off, but I brush it off.
Then I tell her she needs to turn it off so the water doesn't damage it. She doesn't know how to turn it off, so I do it for her, then ask her why she hadn't read the Manual, why she couldn't do that - She starts getting despondent. So Then I tell her to take the battery out, which she doesn't know how to do, nor does she know how to take the case off. I again ask her why she doesn't know this - it is her phone after all. She gets MORE pissed. So I take the case off and battery out for her and put it in a bag of rice (a good trick for wet cell phones) So the phone is done - now I am wanting to know why she couldn't do this stuff herself. She gets super defensive and starts attacking me back (I was being calm, quiet, respectful, etc...) So I try taking another tack and looking at the Manual with her so she can put it back together. She doesn't know where the manual is, or says she doesn't. I go to her room and find it setting in plain sight as if it had just been moved (she probably found it, moved it and didn't want to deal with it) So I bring it down and start going over how to out in and take out the battery, the back cover, and the case. She spends this time bitching about how I always criticize her, which I just don't get. Anyways, at the end, I ask her if she can put it together in the morning before work - she says no. Like WTF? we just spent 15 minutes reading about how you do it!

So I guess what I want to know is does anyone have experience with this kind of thing?
what the hell do I do?
Right now I am all fucked up on beer and pills cuz I was literally crying after we got done with this. (I know this isn't an excuse, but fuck, it's so frustrating)
What can I do? How can I help? Should I just give up? Is there something wrong with me?
I am so frustrated.

realizing the ones you love the most, can piss you off the most~ orrr let yourself hate the most, can some times make that line a bit broader.
;-)
or that wave crest a bit longer.

and in the end youll all be that much stronger.

Know what's weird? My instructor in my psych class answers a different question than the ones I ask.
Today we were talking of medications prescribed for schizophrenia. I asked if these meds had immediate onset, or, if they were like antidepressants (taking a few weeks for the full effect). I stated that my reason for asking was because schizophrenia has the exact same symptoms as stimulant induced psychosis and was curious if these meds are given to relieve someone of their delusions from a long binge of stimulant abuse.

I actually forget what her answer was because it wasn't really related to my question. Does anyone else know the answer because I'm freakin' dwelling on it now!

A website that I checked says Seroquel may take weeks to improve symptoms of schizophrenia. But some people use it for sleep so it may have a more immediate sedating effect too.
 
My cat is officially the most spoiled kitty ever.
My mother gives her fancy feast everytime she cries for it...........
She wants all the blinds open and will go to every window meowing at us until we open it for her- then she goes to the next window and meows........
She gets everything she wants. Little bratty kat. <3
 
^ Nuh uh! Clovis gets cream bought for her and get this, Pate, Smoked Salmon(Seriously, I cant understand how she doesnt have Gout already!!)...also she refuses to open a door with her paw if a human is present to open it for her, she will stare at you till you do it!
They will rule the world one day, I know it!

My dad taught me never to give an angry woman a sledgehammer...

Where's that llama...pleeeeease?

Your Dad is a spoilsport!:p

I know that seroquel has an immediate onset. It can definitely be used to end a stimulant binge as its neurotransmitter affinity is greater than that of the common stimulants. Basically, it puts the person to sleep no matter what other drugs they've done. I'm not sure about its use in schizophrenia however. I know my friend (with the unfortunate disorder) had to take like 300 mg first thing in the morning :( awful side effects to be sure.
