Nice. Only **Melbourne **does not come across as somebody who could act as rationally as you, so I will take your link and say to Melbourne: If you are in Australia and think you need medical help, please contact here. People who need help have to get it easily, especially when they seem confused.
Melbourne isn’t the one who thought he was a computer simulation. He started this thread because someone did and their thread was closed.
He started this thread because he was sympathetic to the other poster because he has been psychotic in the past.
I agree with the thread being closed. There’s times that some posters don’t know when to lay off the snark. Being snarky in a medical advice thread should warrant at least a mod note if not a warning, in my opinion (not a mod)
Oh! Right, my mistake. Sorry.
I’m with almost everybody that the closing of the thread was the right call. Just like Melbourne, I have experienced some psychotic episodes (three to be precise, one with a lot of aftermath and two resolved with minimal care by my family and my psychiatrist) in my life, but I’d say that posting here in this state would be one of the worst ideas possible. Call your family, call your closest friends, a help line, your doctor or an ambulance, but don’t ask amateurs and unknowns for help.
