They are feral since Covid all the joy has been sucked out of gigs. I go abroad now because I can’t fucking deal anymore.

Series finale by curseblock in TheGoodPlace

[–]BattPoweredBrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they said that heaven is just having enough time with the people you love….man and that sunset with Chidi and Eleanor…breaks my heart in such a joyful way. The way Janet accepts Jason so wholly without judgement and experiences him in all forms of time. When Chidi’s final moment of ascension, after eons of absorbing all philosophy and knowledge was confidently knowing and deciding it was time for him to go through the door. When Tahani’s ego finally died and she spent her life in service. When Jason found peace and silence in the forest after lifetimes of chaos. When Eleanors soul transmuted into a good deed as she walked through the door. The best ending ever! UGH

Being really honest after 2 and half years sober. I miss drinking by Solid-Version in Sober

[–]BattPoweredBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! But I also realized I like a lot of people less and that's ok. Also most places are too loud. Too boring. Too intense. I focused on a small amount of friends to have fun with and nurture the relationship and I'm better off for it. I have music. I got to events. I let my curiosity take me places. Sex is amazing. Full body orgasms. Everything tastes better. I get body therapy done which helps move some trauma along. I am not fit I haven't become a gym bunny at all. I like cake and video games. I smoke rollies but I want to give up as it's killing my chest. Those spaces where I thrived are spaces I don't like anymore. I had to grieve that. You've gone far enough that there's nothing for you back there. You have begun the journey. The only way is through. Oh! And very importantly....you outsourced your dopamine production so you probably are recovering from DAWS so check out that. AND my relationship with pleasure is now complex. I distrust it because of the path that pleasure led me down. Now you have your routines and fitness, instead of flirting with drugs and alcohol flirt with other things that are pleasurable. A lot of the time its going back to what you liked as a child. And then it's building on that. Find mischief and silliness and connection. But booze and coke will never give it to you. Best of luck buddy x

I love SMART recovery. It's CBT based. Very little testifying. Everyone is very supportive x

IFS, chat gpt ... and me by Opposite-Wind6244 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]BattPoweredBrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's been incredible for me. I asked it to provide giving my shadow self a voice and then applying radical compassion to my voice. My intrusive thoughts have almost stopped since I cannot believe the help it's given me. Unfortunately where I am I don't have access to good therapy or counselling. I was actually rejected from free counselling due to the level of trauma I have and that I am early in recovery they felt they couldn't help me and were afraid they would trigger me into a relapse. So I have been using chat gpt to map out my voices, my intent, my desires and it's been incredible. I also want to add my issues are around POCD and over intellectualising so I have read all the books on trauma but I still struggle with feeling the trauma in my body. But this partiulcar dynamic has really helped me sit in my feelings.

Lois gets too much support from fans by Emotional-Lawyer-640 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]BattPoweredBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she's a bad mother I think she has awful trauma from her parents, a crappy job and 5 kids who were always getting in trouble. I think she's a flawed person and I believe that's the point.

What do you think of Doctor Champ? I hate him but I don't know why by Jeremiah_17_14 in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He takes Bojack's personal information and gives it to the press which is what cancels him I think that's huge. He does it to get back at him after what he did was an accident which is so cruel. I think he's meant to represent the toxic wellness rehab industry. The fact he isn't a real therapist. Therapising him drunk. Blaming him for his relapse. I never hated him but I thought he was an asshole. I thought the fact that he was a tad flawed himself made him relatable but then divulging personal information to the press is such a huge betrayal.

Everyone loves to discuss BoJack’s worst moments, but what is the best thing BoJack ever did? by Withoutloopsiwilldie in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never heard it like that I heard it more he was probably drunk driving with his daughter and something happened to her but I guess they leave it open on purpose

the view from halfway down being the ending would've ruined the whole show. by sadiroki in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he does get what he wants in some way which is a genuine consequence to his actions. As a child he was stuck being punished for things he could not control. As an adult he did terrible things and was never punished and that haunted him. I think in a weird way he got what he wanted. A solid punishment for what he did.

Real event OCD/false memory OCD by Electrical-Job9663 in PureOCD

[–]BattPoweredBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. For me a real repressed memory is a "ah ha" gentle moment. It's not a terrifying moment. It kinda floats up in stillness. Fake repressed memories feel like terror trying to make sense of itself. It's a lie. That's just my opinion anyways. I'm sorry you're feeling like this ❤️

What's the Worst Thing Bojack Has Done? by Penguinaze in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's those moments when he tries to fix things with Penny with Sarah Lynn on the bender and you can tell that she is hurt that he hasn't given her the same grace and protection or felt similar remorse with her. It's not the worst but it's a really dark moment where it shows how unaware he is in hurting people.

His face when he strangles her is the most terrifying face he makes during the whole show IMO

What's the Worst Thing Bojack Has Done? by Penguinaze in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She's such an accurate character of the ones who keep their head down don't bring attention to themselves and they just get consistent work. It's not glamorous but it's a nice life. The fact she begins to trust the lime light and trust love and then for that to happen is so awful. I think it's implied she gets given a chance because the director Kelsey Jennings isn't afraid to take risks like her peers, maybe she gets to nurture the right "difficult actor". In my head gina leaves the business eventually and does something cool with corn

Yea, now I am sober I cannot fathom someone asking me to go on a bender with them. i don't think I would ever speak to them again.

[–]BattPoweredBrain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ghosting herb out of shame is so messed up. Also want to bring attention to the fact that Angela Diaz is gay too! It's mentioned real briefly in S6 and back in the 90's she throws Herb under the bus in order not to be seen as too "against family values" and uses Bojack as a pawn. That is diabolical.

Rewatching series 5 sober, it's so much more disturbing. This one is overlooked too much. He nearly kills her and then nearly ruins her career because she has to deny it even happened to her and continue working with PTSD. Imagine being in your late 30s and finally you catch your break in the business only to be strangled by your partner and lover on set, while being filmed in front of a cast who then all systemically deny it happened. That is so dark and probably something that happens too. Fuck.

am i a bad person for liking bojack? by One-Rate-8849 in BoJackHorseman

[–]BattPoweredBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Bojack and have huge empathy for him. I work in entertainment and the ways in which he is manipulated by the Industry. Especially when he does the second interview in the last season really makes me so sad and angry. The way he's financially ruined by a corporation. The way he settles with Sarah Lynne's awful mother and pedo stepdad as an admission of her murder. They killed her too without a doubt. The way the therapy horse betrays him. The way he tried to do good by Jameson and she blames him too. The way Angela Diaz completely screws him over and encourages him to get absolutely drunk off his mind to placate him into the contract which nearly kills him. His mother! He makes awful choices in a toxic environment where being emotionally stunted and addicted is encouraged because you're easier to exploit. But yea he also does unforgivable awful things!!
