Yeah man, I'll PM you the join link

Sup?

ah perfect!

so why does vitiman D play a large roll in the elevation of improving your mood and why does severe ADHD and major depression go hand in hand?

Thank you, Anon I hope the same to you as well!

Ayyyyyy

Hey! Sorry man, I've been sick as **** lately. What do you want to know? The purpose of it, what it's supposed to treat, how it works, etc?

U wot, m8? I swear on me mum I'll kiss you and take you out for a wonderful evening, don't even try me!

It'll come to bite you in the ass. Not today, not tomorrow, not the next day, But one day, you're going to move on and have a family, but your tulpa is now with you forever. Even if you send them away, one day your mind will slip, you'll lost focus, you'll forget all about it, and it'll come back. it will never TRULY leave you ever again.

lmao
dude even if my tulpa was a dick I have enough willpower to ignore it completely
hell even now it's almost completely inert, i only ever talk to it whenever i talk to myself and that's rare

You'll see, friend. Everybody thinks they're in control until they're not. I wish you luck with it though, I really sincerely do

A person who isn't there, and only exists because you've put you're brain through enough cognitive distress that it had to invent an entirely new entity with it's own personality in order to make up for the immense cognitive dissonance you've performed. In doing this, you've successfully emulated schizophrenia

Ehhhhhh

m8

I can find you someone if anything. Add me on Skype. Tanis.Annicchiarico, I come up as Sir Tanis, The Unkillable Fire Elemental PhD/PsyD

If you got the players, sure. Add me on Skype, Tanis.Annicchiarico (I come up as Professor Tanis, The Unkillable Fire Elemental)

Are you referring to Battered Person Syndrome?

British Psychology Society, unfortunate that so many things have the same initials

I'm unfamiliar with the BPS, to be honest (I'm American), but I can certainly look into the specific studies to see if anything spurred actions. I know the Milgram Experiment almost got him thrown in jail, I can tell you that much. I also know that the APA (American Psychology Association) set up it's first ethics committee in 1992 (Psychology is, unfortunately, still a young science). Want me to try and find you some influential case studies that spurred the movement?

Knowing that Milgram almost got thrown is jail for his study is enough for what I need. Didn't realise there was that much backlash from it. Thanks man.

Yeah dude, no problem. Is this for personal research or for a school project or something?

Essay titled "Describe an important psychological theory and an important psychological experiment. Compare and contrast the ways in which the theory and the experiment have brought about progress in psychology." - Plan so far is using Freud's model of the Psyche as the theory and how it influenced counselling, and a study that helped form ethics in psychology (most likely Milgram).

You could also talk about how in the 60's, being gay was something you'd get institutionalized in an asylum for. Be careful when using Freud in psychology, there's no real gray area. Plenty of his theories are still valid, but a lot have been disproved, and while he is the grandfather of modern psychology, a lot of current day psychology experts don't consider him a valid entity. I, personally, respect what he did for modern day psychology with the limited tools he had (His ENTIRE demographic were middle aged Austrian housewives, and the man did enough coke a day to kill a small horse) but I'm very careful fo what theories of his I reference. As long as you double check your chosen theories and experiments then you should be alright. My specialty is behavioral Psychology, so if you ever want stuff on that, look up Pavlov's Dogs, B.F. Skinner or (My personal favorite) Carl Jung and his theory of Archetypes (so ******* cool, man)

I know Freud can be a bit iffy in Psychology but in terms of the essay it feels like they want me to talk about impact rather than whether it was right or wrong. I'll also make sure to talk about all the issues with Freud's theories and could conclude that problems in past theories and research are potentially what caused the biggest impacts in modern psychology. Behavioural's probably one of my favourite schools of Psychology too, ending my 2nd year of a Bsc and people like Pavlov, Skinner, Jung and Watson are some of the most interesting (even if some of them would like "a dozen healthy infants...")

Hey there! Thanks for the penguin !

Of course I will, I love doing that ****

Well, my immediate suggestion is to speak to a medical professional. I am not an LCSW, Psychologist or Psychiatrist. Anything I say is derivative of my own (as of right now incomplete studies and personal research. Intelligence is an inherent ability, you see, and if you were BORN with a higher functioning brain capacity, then that's always going to be there. What you need to do is remind yourself that you shouldn't conform for anybody, as if you spend all your time trying to be the person that others think or want you to be then you'll have no time to be yourself. And there's few things in this world that are worse than a lost personality. All you have to do is devote yourself back to your studies. If you don't like what you're studying, try switching majors or finishing your classes you're in now and transferring the credits to a different college or program within the same college.

In terms of the possible schizoaffective disorder, I would need to talk more in-depth with you to confirm.or deny (And again, even then I would tell you my opinion and ask you to follow up with a TRAINED medical professional). Never, EVER is it a good idea to attempt suicide. That word should never even cross your mind unless it is the answer to the question "What is a stupid, selfish thing I can do that will heavily alter the lives of my friends and loved ones forever?" Now I also know, as a sufferer of Bipolar II Disorder, that even when you don't feel like killing yourself, the thoughts are kinda still always there, at least in the back of your head. But I can tell you that you should need feel bad for failing to commit suicide, you should feel empowered for defeating the monstrous thoughts that tell you to do those things. You're not a coward, you're a hero and you damn well better believe that. And if you don't believe me, I can get 20-30 people to confirm for you that you are, in fact, a brave son of a bitch.

I would have to check my groups and see where I have an opening, but let dndxplain know that I appreciate the mention. Add me and I'll get back to you

jew

psychologyxplain says he appreciates the mention. He will get back to me.

I know bby

I pretty much only run Pathfinder and Call of Cthulhu, as long as that's alright

I've never played either, but willing and very flexible. As long as there's RPG elements, I'll have no problems.

Alright, well they're two very different systems. Pathfinder is the closest thing to Dungeons and Dragons (Everyone considers Pathfinder to be a dumbed down dnd, but I like PF better so far), where as Call of Cthulhu (My personal favorite) is a horror survival game (based off Howard Phillip Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos) where you play some sort of investigator that has to solve the mystery within the module while avoiding death or insanity (It's commonly accepted in CoC that, by the end, you will either be dead or insane). If you've ever heard the Old Man Henderson story, that was from a Call of Cthulhu variant called Trail of Cthulhu, but it's the same thing for the most part. I have a spot in a CoC game called Masks of Nyarlathotep, which was voted to be not only the best CoC module, but one of the best modules of ANY system, period. So if you're interested I can put you in that, however they're also half-way through it.

By the way, is there room for some more people? My group is a bit scattered and without a DM at the moment.

That gave me so many boners. Count me in and get ready to teach me literally everything.

I do, I'm just really behind. I had 35 people message me just that first day, and another 15 the next day
