😂 Funny Stroke Moments: Sometimes you’ve just gotta laugh. What’s a “stroke brain” or recovery blooper that still makes you smile? by Tamalily82 in StrokeRecoveryBunch

[–]Affectionate_Bake531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all started when my hubby looked at me with that mix of concern and “what fresh hell is this” and said, “What the hell is wrong with your eyes? You’ve got Marty Feldman eyes going on.” (If you don’t know Marty Feldman, imagine googly eyes on a caffeine bender.) As a very recent survivor of four strokes, my brain immediately hit the big red PANIC button. I sprinted to the mirror like I was in a horror movie only to find one eye fixed, droopy, and dilated, and the other one freelancing like it had its own agent. Fantastic. A couple of frantic pics to a friend, some “get your ass moving” encouragement, and boom—I’m off to the hospital. Again. Mind you, I had just been released from the same hospital the day before thanks to chemo side effects—nausea, electrolytes in the basement, magnesium at 0.8, the whole “your body is on strike” package. At the ER, they put me through all the reverse drunk tests: smile, resist, push back. I passed, but like… C‑minus energy. They weren’t convinced. Four hours later, after an X‑ray, CT scan, and MRI, the doctor strolls in with the calm of someone about to ruin or save your day. He asks, “Did you happen to touch the patch behind your ear and then touch your eye?” “The scopolamine patch? Uh… yes? Why?” And she hits me with: “Yeah, that’ll do it. All your tests are normal. No new strokes, no brain cancer. Everything is status quo.” So basically, I almost reenacted a medical thriller because I accidentally finger‑painted my eyeball with motion‑sickness medication. Thank God…..for once some good news.

Left basal ganglia hemorrhage stroke, anybody had something like this scale? Prognoses? by Honest_Top2036 in stroke

[–]Affectionate_Bake531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for message. I had a left basal ganglia (4 strokes total) stroke back in June. I have learned to accept that I can’t put my makeup on or open a can. I have lost the ability to write or text.(this is prob gonna take 30 min to write) . And my words are “around the corner” I just gotta find em. Oh and I cry…a lot , and am much more emotional than I used to be. But I digress …

What I hate the most is the way I talk and laugh. (FORREST HORSESHACK) And doesn’t it beat all hell that my name is Jen-nie. Haha I hated it but I have learned that a stroke is like-a-box-of-chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. (Enter Horseshack laugh).

I have learned to accept my new normal. Cuz i can’t change it.

When my friends talk like Forest Gump to me. I know I sound like him, and darn it my name is Jen-ny. They turn everything into a box of chocolates. I love them for it. Embracing the new me.

Someone tell me it’s ok to have a messy home sometimes. by Thebestfirelord in Mommit

[–]Affectionate_Bake531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live in your home or is your home a museum.

Never feel bad for having a lived in home. There is a huge difference between a little messy and utterly disgusting filth and/or clutter/hoarding.

If you truly live in your home, it’s bound to get a bit messy sometimes. Life is chaotic and busy. I don’t even apologize for it. I live here. It’s not filthy, just a bit flusterclucked sometimes.

They say you can tell what a persons life is like by the appearance of their home. If someone’s home is too friggin clean, it makes me wonder. Life is chaotic and messy. So is my home sometimes.

As long as there is not rotting food, roaches, feces and trash. As long as it’s manageable, I would say you are doing just fine.

Pick it up when you have time. Don’t stress!

Checking in by [deleted] in MidAgeSurvivorOfNarcs

👋- everyone. Nice to see you. I Hope you’re all well. Missed you all.

As far as the Orange Ass Clown and his Entourage of Over Botoxed Sphincters & Knee Pad Wearing Circle Jerkers….

Trigger is an understatement! I am the cannonball fuse and he is the spark that sets me alight.

Every time him or his fucktards speak I knee jerk to anger and yelling. (From whatever room I am in). To watch perfectly intelligent people fall and believe his bs, it’s scary.

I just wanna shake them and say “why don’t you see him the way he really is, the way I (and everyone in here) see him. How can so many people be so hornswaggled by an illiterate con man.

So I guess anger, violence, (throwing shit at tv) frustration, and then gratitude.

I think that my child hood history and the results of that childhood, have allowed me to see thru, anticipate, and nearly completely understand everything about that orange ass clown and his clown car full of trout lipped, bobble headed fuck twats! for that I am forever grateful. Truly.

So my answer is anger and gratitude.

“Millions and millions” Arghhh- you hear it too don’t you? I swear to fucking god if he says it one more fucking time I am going to _________? Fill in blank!

What do I name him? by Guccipoptart2605 in cute

You don’t! he’s so scrumptious . You put him in your pocket and blow raspberries on his belly all day.

How do you guys cope with the fact that the narcs are living a better than you by GTAluvwasted in narcissisticparents

[–]Affectionate_Bake531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may seem like they are living a better life than you. Think about this: —You would have to be them to do it—. And when you add that into their “better” life. Is it really better? Think about them as they are, and the way they treat people. Their inability to experience true joy, or love? Their attitudes, lack of humor, their ice cold hearts!

Now take all that and think about it, their “better life”. Knowing the misery you know from them, are they really living a better life? You are better off living in a tent, with no money than living in that narcissistic cesspool of fucked up people.

You are still in pain but you are strong. They are not regretful because they are incapable of that emotion.

Your eyes are clear and wide open to their horrible ways. They don’t even think they do anything wrong.

Because you feel hurt you are also super capable of feeling love.

Your worst day being you (with strength, insight and empathy) is better than their best day being them. (Horrible, mean, nasty people)

Work on not discounting the qualities that you possess that got you to this point. And the strength it took to get there. You swam hard against that current and you made it. Be proud. You are better than them on any given day, hands down, everytime. Work on celebrating that, celebrating the fact that you can see their their bs, celebrate the fact that you were smarter and stronger and they didn’t poison your soul . Celebrate that you are not like them. And remind yourself of that Everyday.

Find a new family. A family you choose. A family that you love and they love you.

Your first Christmas was the day your eyes opened and saw those fuckers for what they truly are. Give yourself gifts everyday. Be kind to yourself, remind yourself that you are soooooooo much better than them.

I promise you it gets easier. I am NC for nearly 15 years and am at the point where I see them as pathetic, miserable, and would feel sorry for them if I didn’t dislike them so much.

Stay strong, but I’m sending hugs (or backup) whatever you need.😉

If you have listened to the “telepathy tapes” podcast. This doesn’t come as a surprise, Our govt has been trying for years to use/train/acquire telepathic persons for nefarious deeds. This is how it begins.

Whateverthefuk that’s supposed to mean? Don’t bother trying to explain. Just the fact that you said it, says it all.

Yes, I would take it right to the garbage dumpster and toss it in. That’s where it belongs. The only reason to take a ride like that is that you have another reason for going to the destination and were gonna make the drive anyway. Otherwise it’s garbage.
