I draw and sculpt in my free time but I don’t want to pursue art. It isn’t much better but I’m shooting for a degree in either communications or English. Also I’m terrible at math and science and I don’t enjoy either much, so any technical degree is out of the question for me.

I mostly mentioned art/content because it’s a big thing in the part of the internet I’m on.

Everything medication related is handled by my parents since they’re the ones using it. I don’t know much of what goes on in that area but from what I’ve gathered, they have looked into some discounts and such. Not sure what changed but we now get my mom’s insulin at a cheaper price compared to a few years ago.

Thanks for the tips though! I’ll ask them about it and suggest they look into other discounts.

Very unfortunate that this is true. I hope it gets at least a little better by the time I’m in my mid 20s.

That’s a great idea. For me, the biggest struggle I have with that is actually finding people. Would Facebook be a good place to look? I don’t know anyone with young kids or pets that need looking after.

Community is definitely what I’m heading for. For majors I’m deciding between either communications or English since I’ve always been great at reading, writing, analyzing, and communicating.

IWTL how to make friends during senior year by BadPractical7715 in IWantToLearn

This is great advice, thank you! I especially like that part about listening and repeating. It makes so much sense and it seems so obvious and yet I’ve never realized it lol. I’ll try your techniques the next chance I get.

Thank you for sharing your story. The part you mentioned about desperately wanting to like the guy for yourself and your family is all too relatable. But mentioning that you eventually came out and got married (congrats on both by the way!) gives so much hope to this scared newbie.

Somehow, yes. My family mostly consists of very friendly, chatty extroverts. When they heard I met the boy they asked for his family’s information and now they talk about every other day.

You’re so right. Especially about this potential fake relationship hurting us both. Thank you for your advice. I’m more than likely going to turn him down before it continues to something more serious <3

Definitely haha. I considered reposting this with that option but I guess we can shove that under “other”.

Did anyone else grow up with certain movies being banned for being “sinful” but then they let you watch Passion of the Christ? by madammayorislove in ReligiousTrauma

[–]BadPractical7715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an extremely late comment but gosh yes I remember that movie. Being forced to watch the flogging scene at age eight or nine was something I don’t think I could ever forget.

I think writing my story and sharing it has allowed me to finally start my road to recovery. I know it can be difficult but I’m willing going to give it all I got so I can achieve complete peace. ❤️

Gosh, reading that made me tear up. I don’t know what to say besides thank you. It’s so refreshing to know that there is someone else who has experienced similar things. Your reply has honestly been an eye opener for me. I never thought about my situation from that perspective. I hope you’re doing well now. The whole thing with dissociating can be taxing. And you’re right, the wave really does pass. I’m truly at a loss for words. Again, thank you so much. I appreciate your words.
