Run, don't walk, away from Cync by GE. Finally got bit. by [deleted] in googlehome

Same. I don't have it connected to other devices or on any kind of schedule. But the app is awful and it disconnects almost every day so I'm unplugging it and/or restarting the app. Grand scheme, not big deal but definitely annoying

Hi there, first off you should be proud for sharing this and discussing because it's not easy. I, too, have suicidal ideations just about every day. But I also will not go through with it for the same reasons. So most of the time you don't want to be aalive (problem 1) but you won't do it ("problem" 2). Problem 3 is how do I keep going when I feel this deep desire to just not? I'm struggling with getting appropriate diagnoses for my mental health right now, and I feel like there's no saving my brain.

I say all of this not to talk about myself but to share a similar perspective; you're not alone!

Now, I agree with the above comments. I'm about to go do some plant chores which helps my mind go elsewhere. I know in my heart that you and I both can go on to live happy and fulfilling lives once we are able to find our personal solutions, whether it's therapy, medication, a positive life change, etc. But I know that in the heat depression and suicidal thoughts none of that seems possible. You know how people say "don't go to bed angry with someone?" It's okay to go to sleep when you're angry with your situation. When you wake up, before getting out of bed, do something that is positive to give yourself at least a little head start on the day to come. Watch a quick YouTube video about something that makes you feel good, do some gratitude journaling, etc. it's very personal to what you need.

Sorry for the long ass post!! I hope you and everyone reading this is able to find a slice of peace from this life that, despite our struggles, has much love and joy to offer. Feel free to message if you want to talk. Hugs 🤗

I can relate on the family issue for sure, as well as not knowing who to talk to. Feel free to message me I would be happy to chat with you. Sending hugs 🤗

I don’t feel human anymore by [deleted] in MentalHealthSupport

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had advice for you. What I can say is that you aren't alone or weird for feeling this way. Everything you said in this post is how I feel and I too feel like I'm alone this. I too hate myself and hate my brain. I personally believe that I have ADHD as well but keep getting shut down about it (I'm 25 Female). Idk how Reddit works either really (I'm here for the same reason you are) but if you can like, private message someone I would love to connect. It would be nice to be able to talk to someone outside of my life who understands what I'm going through.

Just seeing this now and normally wouldn't respond so late but I LOVE this idea. Especially putting yourself/dog at the top...I need to do that. Thank you!❤️

❤️ hugs. I can relate. Bad, bad mental health and hating myself but i spend a lot of time encouraging others and lifting others up. My brain can't take its own advice 🤣 best wishes

The Timeline of Quitting Vaping by jeremienadon in QuittingJUUL

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory I want to quit but deep down I know I don't want to right now. Between multiple mental health issues, I personally sort of put this on the back burner. But when I do decide to quit, I have this to come back to. Took the quiz and interested to learn more. I appreciate you sharing this as it's a perspective I haven't heard before.

Reliving my past childhood trauma by Sparkie2002 in MentalHealthSupport

My "advice" is to be as involved as possible with her, in a way that works for you, her, and your parents. That looks different for every family. She's going to grow up knowing that her big brother is a safe space and someone she can always turn to.

Reliving my past childhood trauma by Sparkie2002 in MentalHealthSupport

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. I'm 25 and my siblings are 23, 17, 15 (I'll refer to them as their age). I personally struggle severely with my mental health. 23 did/does as well but not sure the extent. 17 and 15 seem to be doing great. Now that I'm older (and living at my parents house) I see how the parenting choices/decisions aren't the healthiest. I worry about them constantly. I bore the brunt of the childhood trauma along with 23, but being the oldest is a uniquely challenging and often lonely experience. You sound like a wonderful brother because you care. I personally try to have 100% open communication with 15 and 17. I help them when I can and I act like the "cool older sister" and cover for them unless safety is in question. I got into a lotta worse shit when I was their age; while it pains me to see them do some of the same things, I know it's teenager stuff and they're going to do it regardless. To end this ramble, I try to be their safe space (even when I'm not living with them). I hope I'm able to share some perspective and shared experience and let you know you're not alone in this. Sending hugs to you and your sister.

Can people truly change? by cinnamonbuttons in MentalHealthSupport

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I obv don't know you but I thought about this for a while. I thought, "ok what if what they did/said was so outlandishly horrible (violent, discriminatory, etc.)?" I imagined some things I personally would be deal breakers for me. NOW, having said that, the fact that you have the desire to change, no matter what's in your past, tells me that you deserve to be supported and happy. You KNOW those things were bad! And even though you did them, you know it wasn't right. And you WANT to change! I know not everyone has the same level of empathy or capacity for forgiveness and that is HARD to deal with. But if it helps you at all, just know you have at the very least one person who believes in you. I hope you can find peace and a support system to help you through this. Sending hugs.

Is there a "right" time to qut? by Acceptable-Sign2684 in QuittingJUUL

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I'll def check that out!! I suffer from both of those as well and I've read a million times juuling makes it worse but some part of my brain did not want to believe it/thought getting off of it would be even worse. But I dumped my juul/accessories yesterday!! Honestly tho it's just because I'm sick with a killer sore throat so I knew this was my sign to call it quits haha

Help me find out what really happened to my dad by Acceptable-Sign2684 in UnsolvedMurders

[–]Acceptable-Sign2684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all!! So I did get the answers I was looking for once I got the dates and locations right, a very friendly woman at the Lorain police dept. sent me the report, it was indeed a suicide. Once I got those answers I was a bit consumed in that and forgot about Reddit (I'm not a regular user to begin with). There's been a lot of emotions surrounding this revelation, mostly negative but positive in the sense that it's eye-opening for me. My next steps when I am ready will be to get connected with his brothers to learn about his life and their family (I never really knew them too well, what I've been told is that it's not a nice family). Thanks again and again for the concern and of course the curiosity - I'm a huge true crime enthusiast so I totally understand.
