serious psychological question... what do you do if???

[madbomber31]

who is someone supposed to turn to if they have honest thoughts of harming other people?

a psychiatrist?

what if they have NO money and NO insurance? then what?

they KNOW that they will snap sooner or later, these are not passing thoughts, they are real... so what happens? what is he supposed to do?

 

[absolute hardgainer]

You mean a sociopath?

A psychiatrist is needed for treating people with psychiatric disorders. If someone has thoughts of inflicting harm a psychologist can be of help, sometimes a good friend or family member can, too.

I would find a trusted friend to talk to. If you talk to a psychiatrist and the feel you may harm someone, they have to call the cops.

 

[WODIN]

I think about ripping people apart all the time. It's normal really.....here kitty kitty...here kitty.....

 

[Laserdude]

Talk to someone before it's too late, or just go out and do it. Details at 11:00.... I like to watch the late news.

Wod, what did I ever do to you?

Ok Mad, I actually know a guy like that. I have found stuff out about him (I must look like Ann friggin Landers or something) that I really seriously wish I didn't know because now if he does something I will feel responsible for not reporting him.
Only thing is, this guy has already done the rubber room, the pills, the professional therapist. This guy is an honest to god wacko...he looks like Mr. Normal, in fact, is the nicest guy in the world. My brother has met him, my friends have partied with him....you know, he is our buddy.

And then, I told him I was going to do his horoscope. (I like doing that shit)....what I found made my blood run cold....there was all kinds of nasty shit in it, and I could not believe this was this guy. BUT, I have gotten introuble for ignoring bad signs before.
So, when he asks what it says, I tell him jokingly that it said he has serious psycological problems, yadda yadda. Did't make a big deal of it.
Later, when we're all out, he is drunk and lets it spill he's been in the wacko house....I pretended I didn't hearit...any way, since then I have found he's just wacko.

I get emails saying how hes gonna blow some peopleup, yadda yadda. It's really scary. I bluff him and tell him he's acting like an idiot, how to stop feeling sorry for himself...basically I bully him. So farits seemed to work, but one day it might not.
So, if you hear of a wacko pegging people off in Toronto, thats the guy I know.

hhhhmmmmm sounds scary to me

If you feel you are a danger to yourself or to other people call 911.
they can take you in for a evaluation and hold you for a couple of days so you can get your head straight. The medical care is free. You will be able to talk to someone and be tested for depression, anxiety, or more serious illness. you may want to be put on medication. Or if you have a drug problem then that will be treated first and then you have the option of medication and therepy....Take the first step and pick up the phone.

 

[WarriorPL]

mad, i think you should commit this person to a nut house before he snaps and kills you or someone.

kat no sweetness....one of my "cats" was walking by awhile ago.

Mb, have yourself committed those rubber rooms are fun! You can bounce off the walls all day long!

Move to Canada where Medicaire is available for everyone...

 

[liftsiron]

I always turn to the nearest wall and bang my head hard into it, I feel much better after my ears stop ringing and my vison clears.

 

[madbomber31]

this person has ALMOST flipped a few times, he gets better for a while then feels strain and MUCH hatred towards others... i think what keeps him from acting upon things is how it will affect his family (his mom) not the morality issue...

its a good thing he never became a cop.

 

[dto]

this person can be put on a legal 5150 hold for psych evaluation and its of NO charge what so ever to him/her...they will look into the prob causing the behavior and determine the best fix be it counseling and or drugs as well as the cause of the prob. most people that have DTO (danger to other) criteria have psychopathic tendencies (atleast thats what they tought us in school) good luck.

 

[Celt]

Nuts???

Tell him to go see a doctor. He might be totally screwed, or maybe he just has a chemical imbalance or something along those lines. Whatever the deal, he needs to talk to someone {Professional}, before he does snap. If he snaps, there is always a chance of severe and extreme regret, and then you have to worry about sociopathic behavior or even possibly suicide.

Prozac! In heavy doses.

Based on your handle and your birthdate I'd say you should contact Ted Kazinski.

You must have been born when the fireworks were going off. Search the web. There is a site that gives a formula for a home made Atom Bomb. I don't know if it would work but it was kind of amusing.

It sounds to me like you are holding things in. Get a job as an explosive expert. That way you can release your pent up frustrations by blowing things up. When I was a kid I used lots of firecrackers, cherry bombs, and dynamite. I graduated to C4, claymores, and grenades. It gave me a real sense of satisfaction when I blew something or someone up. Nowdays I feel kind of guilty about it. Remember, what you do now will come back to haunt you in your old age.

If you hurt small animals or started fires when you were a kid then you probably are a menace to society. I'm sure if you were to walk into the nearest police station and tell them your feelings I'm sure they would find a solution. If they didn't I would assume that they wanted some training for their Swat Team. You know, for when you went off on someone.

Have him or her go to the Priest, Minister, Rabbi, etc of their choice and just talk - kinda like confession but different.

Yes, I'm totally serious.


If this person is in college - there is a conselour on campus.

If this person is working - they really should have insurance or try human resources.


Sometimes people that are really angry - just need to be heard and listened to, so having him or her talk to someone that really will listen could be quite helpful.

 

[Zebo]

See a licensed psychologist.

However, if they suspect the person may harm themselves or someone else, the confidentiality will be broken and reported. Just food for thought......

 

[madbomber31]

velvett.. if he went to a priest and was told he needed god he would probably laugh and think of the priest as a closed minded cocksucker.... but who knows.

Just get some counseling and some Zoloft, you'll be ok.

No but seriously, tell your buddy to go to a non-profit counseling center. They will be able to refer him to ALL the right people and the right meds.

 

[HappyScrappy]

if you do start killing people, do me a favor and start with the dipshits and idiots. and all the bad drivers you run accross. I'd say then move on to the assholes, but I think the idiots and dipshits are going to take a long time, there are soooo many of them. that and I'm a pretty big asshole myself (didn't say HAVE may1010) so I might be in danger there....

There are people in the church - whatever demonination - who are good counselors, very compassionate. Yes, people can preach, but there are those who would really want to help and have a lot of experience with people in pain or feeling anger or hate. They do understand. This person needs to take that step and see someone. That's the hardest part. If it's not mental illness, then part of the healing is in the confession itself, just telling someone.

If it seems out of control, if the person feels like hurting themselves or others, then yes, a call to 911 or going to an ER is something they should do. There are people who are well-trained to handle these sorts of crises.

Lithium is the best drug for suicidal and homicidal tendencies. It is a mood stabilizer and I've seen it work.

Parnate (MAOI Drug Classification) is thought to be the best drug for depression------it is dangerous to take but it sounds like he is also.

It would be great if he would see a medical doctor who could refer him to a psychiatrist along with drug therapy/anger management. He has to start somewhere if he wants help.

Definitely take his anger out on some1 before he goes totally insane and harms himself j/k Prozac would definitely put him in a good mood. My uncle was on it and he so fucking happy he was talking to me and couldn't stop laughing at everything...not only will it help him but it will provide some great entertainment for you and his family members

 

[HopeSinks]

ya, family and friends getting a chuckle would end very badly.
