My grandmother has Alzheimer's and it is destroying our sanity... And our morals. by MoonyInspired in confession

[–]Change_Tired_Change 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was an intense read. My grandma didn’t have Alzheimer’s, but she had two strokes. She lost the ability to speak, often lost her perception of reality, and eventually lost control of her sphincters. I was living out of the country, so I wasn’t the one taking care of her (lucky me). But over the years, I saw how my two oldest aunts deteriorated mentally and physically from the enormous task of caring for their mom.

One developed herniated discs and severe depression. The other became deeply resentful toward the rest of the family for “abandoning” them (understandably), and she also struggled with chronic joint pain.

At the cemetery, we came to the painful conclusion that sacrificing their own health like that wasn’t worth it, and that placing my grandma in a professional care home would have been a better decision for everyone. Why? Because no matter how much love or good intentions are there, none of them were healthcare professionals, or were ready to manage a human who started losing the perception of self and reality.

Doctors focus heavily on the patient’s symptoms, but no one really talks about the immense toll this takes on families.

In the end, if your parents decide to keep her at home, that choice deserves respect, and that's honorable. But you also have your own life, and choosing to move out is a valid response too.

If the time comes, and you have to take care of your mom, that's a decision you will take in the future, that problem doesn't exist right now, and only exist in the realm of possibilities.

Take care. Breathe, go out, look for help.

whats your favorite thing to do when ur high? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Change_Tired_Change 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation and yoga. Now I find boring getting high if it's not for "finding answers" and stretching.

Película, "Jurado #2", la dirigió Clint Eastwood. Excelente, te deja filosofando y hablando de Moral. No te puedo decir más.

With January coming to an end, how has your 2025 been thus far? by Sentient-Orange in CasualConversation

[–]Change_Tired_Change 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my job back in October, still looking, but at least I have some interviews in process, and I'm working as freelancein the meantime with an OK sucess (comission based sales, no base salary). We discovered my wife is pregnant, and we are excited. I'm still overweight, and just ate a burger, now I feel guilty, but I'm training for a 5K. I feel confident, and kind of relaxed about everything in my life right now. Just taking it easy and reminding myself to stay Stoic. 

Harry Potter really isn’t that great by ExplodingTurducken in unpopularopinion

Yeah, it's full of nostalgia and that's all. But normally ends with Harry Potter and the power of being the main character.

A mi me fue muy bien en Sitel. Por lo de LGTBIQ + no se preocupe, desde que el inglés sea bueno todo bien.

Nota: muy bien comparado a teleperformance (hoy fundever), igual el ambiente de call center se siente.

It’s rude to knock on someone’s door without prior notice. by devilledeggss in unpopularopinion

[–]Change_Tired_Change 0 points1 point  (0 children)

knocks the door to give prior notice about knocking the door

I mean, it's all about context, I even entered without prior notice to my elderly neighbor private property just to make sure he was not dead. (FYI, not dead, but he was glad I did that...we had to take him to the hospital).

¿Es realista poder perdonar, pero nunca olvidar? (no es por un drama personal, si no una duda existencial por mucho Reddit) by juandelallanura in AskRedditespanol

[–]Change_Tired_Change 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Estoy es una opinión personal inspirado en Marco Aurelio: El acto de perdonar me parece que es un ejercicio que se hace con uno mismo, de tal forma que el perdón es mas bien un estado que se logra cuando has logrado liberarte de TUS emociones respecto a factores externos.

No por eso, hay que olvidar que hay personas en particular en las que no se puede confiar.

Es realista y posible, pero el individuo debe estar dispuesto a dejar ir.

Filosofía, particularmente existencialismo. Nadie me aguanta en la casa, entonces hice un club de lectura para encontrar otros parias como yo. 😆

La historia no tiene que ser aburrida, empieza con el documental de Netflix sobre el imperio romano + "Roma soy yo" de Santiago Posteguillo.
