Oh, man! That is great!
No.2204
>in therapy for psychological issues
>sometimes look at psychological disorders in case I find something that matches up and I can use to get better and take to a shrink
>stumble upon one that matches my symptoms almost perfectly (too bad it's not in the DSM yet so I can't be diagnosed)
>one of the symptoms includes a "loss of faith"
No.2209
>>2204What the fuck is that shit?
No.2210
>>2204Lemme guess, the shrink asked why you wanted to see him, and you tipped your fedora at him at which point he promptly kicked you out of his office.
No.2224
>>2204Is this from the cowboy shrink in Bumfuck, Tennessee?
No.2227

No.2266
>>2080The worst theist propaganda is the A.A. twelve step program.
They find people at the lowest point and their lives and tell them they have to turn their lives and their will over to the Sky Daddy or they will die.
and they do this with the full support of the medical establishment..
and research shows it doesn't work.
No.2272
>>2266The entire organization is a scam. I recall a Penn and Teller Bullshit episode about that exact thing.
No.2281
>>2210I found the information online. This is a somewhat active field of research. It's not that well understood (not enough studies yet) and fairly similar to a recognized disorder, which is why it's not in the latest DSM.
>>2210I already had been seeing him. I took in the stuff to discuss. He was fine and non-judgmental.
>>2266>>2272The Bullshit episode is one of the best ones. The South Park episode on it is pretty good too. Plus it would be a good rebuttal to statuefag. Season 9 Episode 14 - "Bloody Mary". Randy gets ordered to do AA for drunk driving and a local Virgin Mary statue starts bleeding
out her ass.

Didn't the guy who started AA said it didn't work. And if i remember correctly he cured his addiction with LSD.
No.3063

I never heard of him dropping acid,,, But when he was on his death bed, he keep demanding whiskey.
No.3069
>>3063> But when he was on his death bed, he keep demanding whiskey.Fair enough, I mean there's not a lot of harm it could do him at that point.
No.3072

Google PTSD and ecstasy.
