When an adult talks to someone who is not there, it's paranoid schizophrenia. But when a group of people talk to someone who is not there, it's called religion.

Part of Growing Up - Saying Goodbye to Invisible Friends?
by doubtfull1799 ini don’t remember having any invisible friends when i was a really little boy, i don’t know if such a thing actually exists, i’ve only ever seen it in movies?
of course it might have looked to others like i was talking to someone on occasions, but i’m sure it would have just been me talking to myself.
the thing is though, i got introduced to an invisible friend in my pre-teens, and i kept the relationship going well into adulthood.

Sorry for the delay, lots of work, and life to love. I went awhile without talking to my oldest sibling. Thinking that is was the correct thing to do. She is now married with children, and due to fear and anxiety caused by those events is on quite the buffet of psych meds. Halfway thruough my schooling I was still trying to keep the peace with the family, pretending, going through the motions. I am a person that when I was at a meeting I was a strong believer of "out of site out of mind" I did not want to be bothered. At this time in my life I was a paramedic but was not quite an advanced partitioner. So out of no where one meeting as I'm trying to flee, and elder tracked me down. Brought me in the back room and said "I heard you have been hired by a helicopter EMS service. So of course told the truth. He said "so you can give blood?" Yes I reply, it is an order from a physician (my medical director) . Well this wasn't to his liking. So like a good little rat he felt the need to "investigate" the matter and write a letter to the GB. So in conclusion for this part of story, I had begun fading, and by chance and elder went above and beyond to see if what I was giving a pt ( not by my own opinion but under a DR order) was approved by them. More to come. Oh and just and FYI tidbit, no matter what religion you are and what you believe JW included, there have been multiple times I have been on a scene of a trauma pt. We do what we refer to as trauma naked. So all clothes off etc. if they think we have time to look in a wallet for a no blood card they are poorly mistaken. I have picked many ppl up in the helicopter that met mass infusion criteria, and guess what, they received all the emergency release blood we carry. I will post more in time, I am almost done with physician assistant school that has kept me very busy. Two things I want to add. 1. Not sure if people let you all know this enough, but your postings, and advice on how to help and move on, they help more ppl then you realize, and for this I am thankful. 2. My cousin went to the convention this sun. He related that he had never in his life heard the amount of times the words death, torture, and dying were repeated. Very shocking. Keep up the encouragement, and remember this site has effected more ppl then you probably realize. Thank you all for the help.

I am new to this site, was always told by my elder father if the site accidentally appeared on the comp screen it was satans doing. Anyways, I am 28 y/m who had the unfortunate life of being the last of three kids to be born ins. My oldest sibling lasted about 8 years before she was d,f. Being young at the time and not understanding why I , a 4 year old ,would make the great God of the universe angry at me personally for talking to my sister (whom at the time was also my friend). At 17 she got d/Fed. No chance of showing the love Jesus spoke of here by my mother and father. So they made it a point to go into her room one day and through all her possessions outside. I could not believe they wouldn't even let her stay in the house. Think any of her awesome JW friends were going to let her stay there? That's a negative. Point that led me to this site is, I read it quite often even though I'm out now. Never felt like I could post. So I go to college for 4 years while living with my parents without telling them a thing. I would always say I am visiting br so and so I wanted to post now because I had an incident today that led me to ttat then permanently out. I will follow up with story later. Just be cautious if anyone is a Critical Care Paramedic , or has protocols in there work to give blood . Thank you
