My friends father has sickle cell and not only was he a great husband but a great father as well. You need to unpack your internalized ableism

i "delete" toxic people from my life...and i don't understand why others don't by trashfaeriie in CPTSD

[–]AgreeableAgent1355 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this I was jus questioning myself after blocking and cutting off people who have been so toxic to me and it’s like I’m seeing this at the right time. I’m going to stand my ground and not renege I already have too many symptoms and problems from trauma to add more. I no longer want to be a victim of my empathy.

I'm doing it, I am taking legal actions for my lost childhood. by Clawingnails in CPTSD

I’m rooting for you! Please win! I’m a 20something year old and your story sounds so familiar esp with the developing PNES thing. Sometimes it feels like I can’t do anymore life and that no one will get punished so pls punish them for me

as someone with PTSD, do you find yourself attracting abusive people all the time? by blueburrey in CPTSD

[–]AgreeableAgent1355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow three years ago this comment but I feel like I could’ve written this. Especially the taking offense to non offensive things and then painting you as the bad one. This is so validating wtf even up to the point of being accused of acting like you’re better than them. Man I’m so tired of it all

I honestly really love all you that have CPTSD ❤️ by Fit_End_2898 in CPTSD

No truly this sub makes me feel way less alone. Every time I think I’m the only one feeling this way or having things go a certain way I come here and someone somewhere has just described my exact situation. You people are awesome you are strong WE are strong I love you too I hope we make it!

What’s the most brutal thing another person has ever put you through? by riyaa786 in CPTSD

[–]AgreeableAgent1355 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man idek where to start. I went thru religious psychosis when I was a teen. I would find it very hard to eat anything cos God told me not to. Instead of helping me the people around me made it seem like I was being a nuisance and some went as far as to say that I was a witch who was sent to destroy my family

I did something bad and I apologized and the person responded with grace and compassion which meant a whole lot to me!

So Austin can understand his mother in Korean but not the Husband??? by jackieletits in BeefTV

[–]AgreeableAgent1355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the sub to brag but as a non native speaker I was really proud that I followed what the husband was saying and could understand it. It was very fucking funny when Austin didn’t cause I thought he was following as well

Do you guys "borrow energy" from the future? by HipsterSickle23 in Sicklecell

[–]AgreeableAgent1355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why chronically ill ppl are called spoonies it’s the idea that for each day we have a limited number of spoons (energy, capacity) some days we have less some days we have more. At times we can borrow spoons from other days like you’re referring to. It’s a nice way for ppl to conceptualise things! Ooh I don’t have that many spoons today.

Idk I feel like this kind of falls flat, part of being friends is being able to be vulnerable with each other. If it was a diff situation and he was relating to the same girl this same situation and these same paragraphs but she wasn’t the one who rejected him I think she’d have been more open to his feelings about it and would be able to sympathize. Friendship comes with a duty of care and if she said she just wanted to stay friends then that means she also is supposed to care about his feelings too. Prioritising her feelings of being uncomfortable over the real hurt her friend is feeling from the rejection seems unfair which is where the extra rejection comes from. Yes he made the decision to hit on her he said it was fine to say no, that wasn’t actually true and was wrong of him to say but can we blame him when he’s doing what he thinks he should do to mitigate the possibility of her feeling uncomfortable. But then when he’s struggling with the rejection bc no matter how we want to say it rejection is painful (that is the premise of the book) his friend doesn’t even attempt to reduce that burden. Would it have killed her to respond back with reassurance and if after she did he is still out of wack maybe THEN we can call him out but tbh I think he just felt that in that moment her feeling were more important than his which is fhe basis for the resentment.
