A family member has gone cuckoo. He went into a store and threatened to shoot people. He said he was working for the CIA. Several hours later, this guy turned himself in to LEO. He's been charged with terrorism and hate crimes. This man is a veteran and went off his meds. My husband said he wouldn't doubt if the VA psychiatrist has been programing him. Thank goodness he's in custody and didn't shoot anyone.

Sounds like an MK Ultra victim, to be honest. He has military background after all. He may have been involved with the CIA on some level. I wish him the best, and I'm thankful to hear he didn't hurt any innocent people.
We agree. J was always so together and super intelligent. Then he began with PTSD symptoms. That's when he began seeing a VA psychiatrist. He's gotten worse since. Thank God he didn't hurt anyone!
I know other people whose psychosis was sharpened by psychiatrists, rather than being helped. Some professionals can be very helpful but others downright dangerous.
Prayers for your relative. Hopefully you have the opportunity to help him recover his peace.
Thank-you and I agree! We will do whatever we can to help J.
yup...

Thank-you for sharing this link!
So sorry to hear that. I had a best friend of 20+ years also go off the deep end recently. Similar circumstances - he took a job as a government contractor and was seeing a psychiatrist. Then COVID hit, and he went completely off his rocker. No military experience, though. I still don't really know what happened but I'm not comfortable chalking it up to "onset mental illness."
God Bless.
Thanks for sharing!
Praying now, fren. Please keep us posted.
Thank-you! Will do.
Prayers for you. He needs help and I hope he gets it. God Bless
Thanks so much!
Va psychiatrist programming him? Those guys have 100 patients on their roll. No time to program.
More likely happened in the military.

Prayers UP!
Thank-you, Fikkan!
Lord, we pray over this man your Word that says that you, God, have not given us a Spirit of Fear, but of power, love, and sound mind. I pray that this man will grow hungry for your Word and that it will return order to his mind as he meditates on it, the Word of Life, that you've given us. Amen.
Tactical, thank-you for the beautiful prayer!
God's so good. Thank you for caring enough to reach out on his (your family member's) behalf. The bible says that in the end times the love of most will grow cold. It encourages me to see there are still people that genuinely have love for each other.
My family and friends are the dearest parts of my life. Have had ups and downs with a couple but I will never give up on them and will always love them.
Praying!
Thank-you so much for your prayers!
Prayers all around for you and your family member, fren. The fact that he turned himself in says a lot about his character. If possible, it might be helpful to figure out what "triggered" him, especially if the psych doctor had something to do with the incident. Someone, (with your family member's permission), should try to get access to his medical records to see what's going on, too. It might be helpful if there's a court case.
Thanks for your prayers and advice! Have copies and pasted this into my notes.
No problem, fren. I hope everything works out for your family member.
He will be in my prayers.
Thanks so much!
Ive gone cuckoo before. Not that cuckoo, but I've had my moments.
WTF?!? Euphemism police while someone is hurting? Fuck off. Free speech is one of our rights we're fighting to keep and this is just idiotic.
My sister was schizophrenic and we always used euphemisms...flipped out, etc...it was the easiest way to describe what we were experiencing.
Thanks so much!
God bless you and your family. 🙏❤️
Thanks so much, Sneaky!
Thank-you, Sneaky!
geez... don't all cuckoo over it, it's just a word... https://www.etymonline.com/word/cuckoo
It's like saying that Grandma is "off her rocker", I'm being accurate and kind by rejecting "new speak" PC words like "in the midst of a mental health Emergency/Crisis" it's more words but it actually says less and is less kind to the person being described.
No one has a follow up question to "Grandma is off her rocker" , it's just understood, maybe some ask "well what happened?" but it's kind of like hearing your friends Grandpa died and was 101 years old, and you ask "how did he die?"
Your words actually imply the "emergency/crisis" as a "temporary" situation but ask anyone who knows about mental illness and they would find this lacking truth. "Leaving the reservation" or "falling off the wagon" are not words that [they] "SPELLED" but instead, I find to be very kind, humble, true words that don't tip-toe around the reality of the situation.
I'm sorry that I piled on you, you have to know your audience I guess. We've been dealing with many comments from infiltrators and your's was on that line.
Cheers.
I understand, it's all good. Love the meme's you post. Keep them coming!
LOL! Triggered? KEK!
I think this might illustrate the point. - https://youtu.be/hSp8IyaKCs0
I appreciate your sentiment. Thought cuckoo was better than nuts or batshit. I am very close to J and he would say he went cuckoo or even batshit.
You are a fucking annoying lunatic. Go find your safe space on Twitter and leave us the fuck alone. Thought and word police are not welcome here.
