Hi Everybody!

The Psychopathology Lab at The New School is looking for volunteers to participate in a research study about online and offline behaviors. (IRB Protocol Number 24-072-1244) 

This study is being conducted by Margarita Bulatova, a master’s student in the psychology department at The New School, under the direction of Dr. McWelling Todman.

You must be over 18 years old to be in this study. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. If you choose to take part in this study, you will be asked to answer a series of online surveys. Your participation will take about 20 minutes.

Due to the subject of the research you may find that participation in this study will present you with an opportunity to process past experiences in a way that is meaningful to you. However, we understand that reflecting on your past experiences may elicit difficult feelings. At your request, we will provide mental health referrals for dealing with any distress you have related to the discussion of your memories and experiences. If you are currently experiencing thoughts of self-harm and/or suicide, they should contact one or more of the following mental health providers, either by phone or via text: Dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, The National Suicide

Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255, and Crisis Text Line, text 741 741.

Please feel free to share this post and my contact information with anyone who might be interested in participating in this research study.

If you would like additional information about this study, please contact Margarita Bulatova at bular364@newschool.edu. A request for more information does not obligate you to participate in this study.

I just had to Google and now I'm in disbelief that was Motley Crue? That song has been stuck in my head for the past couple days since I heard it at the pizza place/bar on Halloween (that had to be it?) And I still haven't slept since then because holy shit this is my life.

I'm starting to accept the situation with my dad for what it is now. He took me out to avoid the trick or treaters (lol) but ignored me the whole time and looked on his phone while I didn't have mine...

While he tried to suggest I order a coke, he INSISTED we sit at the bar, didn't engage me in conversation when I was assuming we'd use this rare opportunity to talk about the major change that is about to take place in our lives, but he just looked at his phone. And yelled at me in there when I said I didn't wanna sit around for another hour and do anything, while he spends more money on beer.

Why, you ask? All because more trick or treaters might come.

We couldn't just go to 7/11 and buy candy to give them like I did on my own last year (remember?) I had an IPA from Fiddlehead (brewery up in Vermont where I went to college so I was surprised they had it) but drank coke after that. Come to find out, no free refills. Fuck that.

My dad's side doesn't understand drugs. I didn't choose drugs, I was forced onto them. It was just a matter of which drugs to do. Sometimes it was a social thing, most of the time it was just to alleviate boredom. And that's the terrifying part. I worry if this is that's all it is with me, and I'm just a boring old guy, while everyone else is... an in-tune-empath.

Now they look at me and see a lazy, unmotivated stoner. They don't realize maybe I just don't enjoy the drug that killed my mom and her whole side of the family, or I'm too mental?

My therapist said something interesting to me the other morning. It was toward the end of appointment so I never got to ask for further details, but it sounded like a quote big sis said shortly after my mom died and she disappeared on us AGAIN. She says even though I get angry at times, I don't "stay" angry, and I can usually calm down if someone just... talks to me. Lil sis holds onto anger, which is often completely misdirected. I think my dad does the same thing. He's just angry with me about... something... so he's just gonna always be like this, basically. Because he can't blame my mom anymore.

I just wish this shit wasn't so hard to accept sometimes.
