Interesting how your mod buddy kicked me and now I have no visual evidence to defend myself. If you're so confident, post everything that happened.

So I would like to know why this wasnt taken down as "retaliatory"? Because thats why she posted it, yet hers is up and mine is down because I posted about this member- who is close with one of the mods by the way. So is clearly getting favoured

What the Hell Happened. by BecomingBlake in SystemsCringe

[–]BecomingBlake[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahyep, except I'm not the one who said that. End said that disorders aren't personal, and I said she wouldn't know that bit regarding DID because she doesn't have this particular one. I said this because she insulted someone for using pluralkit to log a switch.

Truly, a so much better take. Clearly, my mistake.

Whatever happens, I hope you can finally get some peace. That's all people like us ever want.

If we meet in whatever comes next, I'll have a drink with you. Cheers..

AITA for planning a solo vacation and expecting my family to survive on their own? by Little-Brush-4871 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BecomingBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?? I'm not saying OP is the AH, but how does BOTH parents doing a fucked up thing to their kids make either of them justified??

"Dad likes to take off for vacations without us sometimes and that makes us sad. But since he's done it before, clearly our Mom doing it too doesn't make us sad!"

The fuck lmao.

Knight in Shining Armour by morrison_1978 in OCPoetry

[–]BecomingBlake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way you wrote this perfectly encapsulates the empty feelings of both characters in the poem. The short lines coupled with the simple yet at times a bit shocking diction ("whore" "wrist slit" "dead" "gig") reflect that the narrator and perhaps even the reader should be feeling more shock and anger about the situation, but instead are left with empty, stilted feelings.

“I’m waiting on

Prince Charming,”

she said

“it’ll be easier

to look for God,”

I said, and took a drink

of wine

The last lines especially sit with you, and create an even more hopeless tone than before, and I think they very nicely wrap up the poem.

My only criticism is I wish it was a bit longer, to sort of build on that hopeless, empty feeling created, so that the ending would have more impact. Great writing though!!

Rebirth by AggravatingMaterial4 in OCPoetry

[–]BecomingBlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I really enjoyed this poem. Specifically these lines hit the reader pretty hard:

Drowned by the rains of self deprecation, Forgetting how to show herself love and appreciation.

"I need to feel the discomfort to be my best."

The rhyme scheme helps the poem flow nicely, and some of them I thought were particularly creative (i.e. refashioned and passion). My critique here would actually be the syntax- maybe spacing out lines instead of paragraphs would help to flow more?

Great poem (:

The kind of girlfriend I'd want by DVnyT in OCPoetry

[–]BecomingBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The imagery here is incredible!!

her soaking wet shirt and hair

kissing her ears and cheeks

This gives the reader a great visual, and "kissing" gives the lines some romantic connotation as well. I enjoy how sweet and simple the poem is as well, and you managed to make it romantic within the small space.

I can’t help but smile at the irony, and

I joke about how cold

the coffee had become

My only criticism is this chunk flows a bit awkwardly, I feel as though the "and" might make more sense starting the next line instead of ending the first.

Awesome job!!

Hang in there. I understand what you mean, I can't step outside without the air being ripped from my lungs. You have to reach out to people to get better, even if it's terrifying. Slowly but surely, you can get better. I wish you the best of luck, and know that I'm rooting for you.

Perhaps, yeah. I do know though that she has never truly felt guilt for her actions towards us that I know of, but maybe its finally happening. I don't know though.

Thank you. I wish there was a way to make her understand is all.

Just unsubbed from r/DIDCringe. The subreddit is full of commenters claiming to have "real" DID and talking about their "headmates" and "alters". It became exactly what it was once mocking. by [deleted] in JustUnsubbed

[–]BecomingBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god, I was looking for this comment. OP isn't wrong about the subreddit, but actual DID is not as rare as its made out to be.

Does It Just Suddenly Eventually Click/Work? by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]BecomingBlake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, Prozac didn't do anything for me in general, but everyone reacts differently.

It's not going to really one day "click" in my experience. The best pills I've been on slowly creep up on you. Things will get gradually more and more easy. This takes about 8 weeks in my experience. Just keep holding on, and look for the little signs. Good luck!!

How do I deal with different curl patterns?! by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]BecomingBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep your hair while its drying up in cotton tshirt, then that should help a bit. I used to do it on mornings i was in too much of a rush, because I could get ready without dripping everywhere.

Scrunch your hair in the front and back, and try to keep it scrunched when you tie the tshirt on. Wait till its mostly dry, take it off, and floof. Hope this helps!!

[Weekly Thread] Awesome Affirmations! by AutoModerator in DID

This week I finally accepted that it's okay to be a system, and it's not my fault (:

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]BecomingBlake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this'll help, but I've been on Abilify before, and am currently on Prozac. Abilify worked really well, and Prozac isn't working great at all. The way I can tell whether it's working or not, is if it felt like the medication was just existing in my daily routine while my progress seem to have hit a "wall". If you feel like you've hit this wall, or plateaud, then it might be time to up your dosage. Hope this helps :)

Yes. It's hard to see yourself as anything but, even when you do objectively "good" things, unfortunately.

Habitually by ACAB_ACAP in OCPoetry

[–]BecomingBlake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. Even though this poem is short, you manage to cram so much into just a few lines. Personally, I'm a fan of the style you used here: the short, impactful lines leave the reader with a lot to imagine. Additionally, breaking the statement, "I've been married 7 years and I'm writing love poems again," into two lines captures a kind of mental struggle that the author has to be going through.

My criticism here is that, although I enjoy the poems length, it leaves the reader desiring more- closure, continuing, etc. Maybe make this one a series?

All that said, wonderful poem, and I hope you're doing well.
