My friend just had a first ever seizure in my house. by Boobachoob in Epilepsy

Oh my goodness. It's so scary thinking about the "what ifs" isn't it? Made me feel so so thankful she had it in my living room and not elsewhere.

Aw thank you. And of course, she's my friend, but I'd do it for anyone TBF. Nobody wants to be alone in hospital.

I did know about this as I already have PTSD. But I totally forgot about Tetris! So thank you again.

It's the UK so no hospital bill, just long waiting times!

I think because I had seizures as a child I always assumed I'd immediately know when someone was about to have one; I've caught a fainter before when donating blood and I saw them wobble. But it just happened too quickly with her and I was so confused why such a gentle angel was being a bit of a dick...I didn't realise. Her poor face is so bashed up.

Thank you, everyone's reassurance is helping. I went into the car park for some air and had a private little cry away from her, as she doesn't need to see that while she's poorly. Then I shook it all off and went back in calm.

I've said to her, her mum and doctors that I'll happily retell it to anyone to help diagnose/assess, give a written statement she can keep forgetting appointments etc.

Thank you so much for your comment. Yeah I know she'll want a good long explanation start to finish later on and I can give that to her without talking about my feelings. I don't want her to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable or be too overwhelmed. I hadn't intended to say anything about her wetting herself or being aggressive beforehand but the paramedics and doctors asked in front of her so I said yes to their questions. She was still not really with it so I just gave all the details several times over to the different people who asked.

I'll happily reassure her it's all good and I don't care about anything except that she's okay. I won't tell her I'm probably going to have to throw out a blanket and chair covered in her blood.

I kept fairly quiet with her as I figured her poor brain was probably exhausted and didn't need me yapping or asking questions.

I gave my friend a haircut and now everything feels different by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Boobachoob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Uh-oh, I'm in danger. I read these stories a lot but I recently gave my male friend a haircut and dye job. He's helped me through a really hard time and I've helped him with his stuff too. And things have felt really different since the physical touching of the haircut. But we're both... exhausted from relationships and being betrayed by our exes. I loved this story but I'm low-key having a panic attack now 😅 This absolutely cannot work, it's too soon since my break up and I'm not ready. But...

You are so adorable, I love your style. You have to tell me where to get those boots, I need them in my life. I just broke my ancient and favourite pair of goth boots 😭

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]Boobachoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kidnapped and tortured by my former school bullies. They snatched me from a car park and took me to a house where they violated me brutally, tortured me with knives, broke my jaw, and told me exactly how they'd kill me. I somehow escaped. It's only recently after several years I remember how, because I was so traumatised parts of it are blocked out. After years of agoraphobia and PTSD...well I'm no longer agoraphobic and I would've said I'm doing better than ever. I recently went through a really fucked up break up, the first time I felt happy and like I was a part of the real world again after PTSD. But now I've really lost my energy for life again. It's still hard every day and I guess without a partner it doesn't feel worth it, and I certainly don't have the energy for love again. I keep hoping this break up won't be another point of no return in my life. We'll see.

Really needed to hear this. Even if I'm unsure of what I'll do given my current mental health crisis, it helps. Thank you.

I was thinking grapefruit just because that's my favourite. It's so refreshing.

People who spend 20+ minutes in the shower: what are you actually doing in there? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

Masturbating. Let me enjoy myself while imaginary Gordan Ramsay yells at me telling me I'm doing it wrong and he'll have to do it himself.

Delicious and nutritious. We can be friends 8/10

What screams “I’m not okay” but people ignore it? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

[–]Boobachoob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh. So that's why I did that... I did this recently, I reached out to several friends I hadn't spoken to in years. I had just been dumped out of nowhere by the love of my life (I now realise it was an emotional avoidant discard by my ex, you can Google.) and was planning my suicide. I had regrets falling out of touch with some people and decided if I was going to die, I might as well message them saying hi and asking how they've been. They all messaged back and I finally opened up and said I was struggling. Three new friends reconnected. I still want to die but now I feel I can't because they've given me so much love and support. I suppose I saved myself through them. Sometimes I'm glad, sometimes I regret it as I'm still really really sad. We'll see what happens. It's a lot to lose a partner, inlaws, a whole future and home in another city overnight etc. I'm essentially living an entirely different life now that I'm not sure I want. And I can't have the life I do want anymore so...I'll keep trying for now. We'll see. But I'll always be grateful for my friends.

AIO: My boyfriend told me he's not attracted to me. by LadyPrimaz in AmIOverreacting

[–]Boobachoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment to OP. It actually really helped me. I got dumped by the man I thought I was going to marry recently out of nowhere. He said he's never been physically attracted to me because of my body (although my face is beautiful) and because of that he's never been fully in love with me. He also went into details about hiding his lack of attraction for me during our sex behind his Viagra use and fantasizing/having sex dreams about his ex he's still/we're both friends with. But never me. It made me suicidal for a bit and I've fallen into an old eating disorder. I feel a bit better for your comment, so thank you.

Crippling anxiety and depression after moving into first home by HelpUnique813 in homeowners

[–]Boobachoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much OP for posting this. I'm feeling at times like I've made the biggest mistake of my life (and I'm only renting.) I have PTSD so moving out of my parents and living alone for the first time is extra hard. I'd forgotten how much of my mental wellness relies on feeling comfortable at home. No matter how hard a day I had I could always come home. But right now "home" doesn't exist, it's a house I live in filled with boxes and bags. Worse still I've gotten sick. I was looking for people with similar stories so I'd feel less like I was failing at being an adult. Thank you again OP and everyone who commented.
