One time in a treatment center we had to introduce each other

Turn gets to me and my roommate says “this is Jim, his drug of choice is alcohol and he’s bi polar”. I’m like WRONG on all three…this was before I became a true alcoholic, just a stoner…and afterwards someone said “if you’re not bi polar what are you diagnosed”. I say “schi” and he interrupts me before I could finish…I didn’t know what schizoaffective meant at this point, just knew I had it. Friggin normies scared of hearing you say you’re schizophrenic or the like. That treatment center wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t struggling so much at the time…I could say that about any time in patient though…

Yeah the word really carries a lot of burden. You could say just psychosis. Lot of people don’t even know what that means.

I hated group therapies so much. I never really get what I’m supposed to say there.
I had a really weird therapist. He would start a session in complete silence, waiting for someone to start talking. Sometimes we would sit like 15 minutes just staring at each other. :expressionless:

I like group therapies actually

Sounds awk though with that one :wink:
