When I worked in mental health, a local church asked me to help out those in the church struggling with issues. After one month, I quit. I told the pastor this was way above my pay grade. They're batshit fucking crazy. I don't have a PhD. However, it wasn't hard to spot borderline personality disorders and those hearing voices. Now, they get a fucking looney tunes podcast.

Hearing voices is seriously a schizophrenia symptom.

One of them wanted to unalive her husband's mistress. In a godly way. I get her point. But, whoa! She was crazy.

Lisa59, I hit "Like" 3 times on this comment just so I could Like it twice. (I wish an acronym existed for "This is a horrible state of affairs but it's so on-brand that I'm LOL.")

PhD simply stands for 'Piled Higher and Deeper' - I have a right to say this because of my 33-year career in higher education.

That's good! Some of the people I worked with were crazier than the patients. That's why my bio says тАЬI'm not crazy, I checked.тАЭ Well, maybe a little. ЁЯдн

If you don't have a little crazy, you're not right.
