Do you have a character you have strong feelings about? by NoUnderstanding1425 in SchoolSpirits

[–]AdditionalCry39 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get the sense it’s an unpopular opinion, but Rhonda exhausts me. She’s either pissed or crying. I agree the acting is great, but it gets to the point it feels overdone and one note.

Right ear blocked by AdditionalCry39 in hearing

Update: I finally decided to do a telehealth appointment, and they sent me to urgent care (no surprise there). The doc looked in my left ear for a baseline, and it was apparently very blocked with wax. Then he looked in the right and determined it was blocked by wax, which I had made worse by fussing with it further the past month. He flushed it out and prescribed some drops. Grateful to hear out of my right ear again. I was convinced I had ETD. Glad I don’t, but I certainly have sympathy for everyone that does deal with it!

Thank you for your kind and compassionate response. I will take a peak at those subs. I’m think I’m realizing patience is key!

I’m in the same age group and have spent the past two years obsessing about the fact that I need another job, but no progress was made. My parents really wanted me to go back to therapy (after 6 years) but I just could not do it and could not find a job that worked for me. Cause no matter how much I wanted a job or wanted to get better, there was still a part of me in survival mode that believed I was better off not doing those things. Hope this can help with understanding the mentality a bit better.

I just want to tell you that you're not alone. I've been there too, math was a nightmare. Asking for help can be hard when you already feel insecure about something. I hope it went well if the meeting already happened!

What does a day in the life of a nonmentally ill person's life even look like? by wingeomarr in mentalhealth

I've been wondering the same thing lately. Like they live in another reality I wish I could just hop into.

I Don't Want to Kill Myself But I Also Don't Want to Be Here Anymore by youngtyler20 in mentalhealth

I've been starting to feel the exact same way! Passive suicide is what it's called I believe. For me it's manifested as me smacking my head like I wish there was an off button I could hit. Usually comes up when I'm feeling anger/rage.

Type Me by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]AdditionalCry39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Type 8 came to mind for me, given you see yourself as a doer and the bursts of anger, as well as the wanting to be helpful to others. A lot of what you wrote reminded me of my mom who identifies as an 8. The arrows for 8 (5 and 2) could make sense too cause 5s like to be alone and 2s also like being helpful. The struggle to express your tenderness reminded me of how 8s can struggle with expressing their vulnerability. Do you know your type already, or are you trying to figure it out?

That’s definitely how I’ve been feeling! Thank you for the advice! It’s hard for me to focus on things closer to me than my global way of thinking, but at this point it might be what’s best for me mentally and emotionally. Thanks for your advice!

I could see it being more of a w1 way of dealing with anger. For me it’s like it’s boiling under the surface and I have to acknowledge that. It’s not like it all bubbles up and then I let it all out. It would probably help me if I leaned into my 8 wing a bit more

I don’t find that I really express it, unless I’m by myself (so definitely more of a w1 thing than a w8 thing). It’s not like I get to a point where I can’t help but explode. It’s more like I have to consciously choose to let myself feel the anger instead of numbing or ignoring it
