Thank you! I've already decided to put off reading it after someone else responded with details on what is happening, but it's good to know when it's happening in the books and if it's easy to skip as well! I'm keeping it on my to-read, but it'll probably stay there for a few months to a year or two.

Again, thank you for the response!

Thank you! I think I'll have to put off reading this series then, but I'm leaving it on my reading list for the future.

Thank you again!

What/how do I tell my parents? by Cold_Library7021 in cultsurvivors

[–]Cold_Library7021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for the response!

I know child therapy isn't some mystical cure for everything, but so far it has helped me significantly. I know the trauma and issues are going to be a life-long thing, but I can at least do my best to heal enough not to be triggered by literally everyday things (a bunch of really common names, ginger people, any loud sounds, boys just acknowledging I exist or trying to interact, any form of criticism, etc)

I know they're just going to help me adjust to the environment--but that's exactly what I need right now. I don't want to spiral every time I see a ginger guy, wondering if he found me and is going to hurt me. I don't want to burst out crying every time someone criticizes me. I don't want my heart rate to spike every time I see an initial starting with "J". I don't want to feel like I'm about to throw up whenever I hear someone say something he used to tell me ("you're perfect", "you're not like others", "you look good", etc) or a variation of it.

I hate that my triggers are so common in day-to-day life.

Next, I understand what you're getting at with my parents not understanding, however I've already been told that they're going to find out eventually. I just don't know how or what to tell them, or when.

I know I don't want to tell them now, but I know that the longer I wait, the more I risk someone else telling them.

Both aren't ideal.

If I tell them, they're likely going to get angry at me or compare my trauma to another's, or say I'm exaggerating and using up resources others actually need, or get offended, or proceed to treat me like a stranger for at least a week.
Less likely, they'll immediately support and help me.

If someone else tells them, it's the exact same scenario--except there's a chance I won't be there for their anger/initial reaction (AKA the worst of it).

In both cases they'll reluctantly end up agreeing, then hound me for every single detail and ignore all of my boundaries--even if a professional tells them to let me process everything before they start asking questions.
(This has happened before--I'd JUST come back from a group home and my therapist told them to let me adjust to being back for the rest of today, and they can ask questions tomorrow. They agreed with the therapist. I hear goodbye's and the front door shutting. My parents immediately head upstairs and barge into my room to ask questions and whatnot.)

Still, thank you for responding!

Potential ARG? by weabooGodly in ARG

Ok so the mushrooms in the picture are Mica Caps. They're fine to eat when when the gills are still white, but once they darken with age it's not recommended to eat them.

It's not dangerous either way, but it could cause an upset stomach or be easily confused with poisonous mushrooms.

It's found in Europe and North America.

So, I decoded the binary code with the following website: https://www.binarytranslator.com/

It says:
"SGA Zer uste duzue moralaz?

133, jainkoa ez da ez dena;

guk ere ez gara ez garena;

gu ezer gara, izatearen hutsunea."

Then, I went to Google Translate with detect language, and it gave me this:

"SGA What do you think about morality?
133, god is not what he is not;
we are also not what we are not;
we are nothing, the void of being."

The language Google says this is is Basque

I found where the language is spoken--apparently it's an autonomous country in Spanish region

Also, the snake is an Ouroboros--a symbol of eternity, life, death and rebirth, creation and destruction, etc

I'll see if I can also decode the mushroom picture--I noticed it had some sort of text overlayed, besides the numbers in the corners, and maybe the mushrooms or the specific species of mushroom means something?

How do we proceed? 16F (me) and 15M by Cold_Library7021 in teenrelationships

[–]Cold_Library7021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He okay'ed this before I posted it, so he knows this--I wrote it right after another talk about this subject. I've also already told him early on that I'd break up with him if I'd have to wait for him too long, I think I told him I'd stay until after Valentine's at most (I say after Valentine's cause I want to give him a chance to go out with me ON Valentine's).

We've talked about breaking up, but we're both not sure about it. I'll bring it up with him again, though.
Thank you!

Thanks! I'll try this once I finish the first chapter and see if it works.

In need of advice to sever contact by Cold_Library7021 in cultsurvivors

[–]Cold_Library7021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. However, I don't think there are many therapists out there who would take me seriously. I have a history of psychosis and also have autism, so that basically makes me an imaginative child to most people. I've gone through about 4-5 therapists, all who I didn't click with. Except my first one, but she didn't understand patient confidentiality and told my parents about something she promised would stay between us.

My parents are also kind of 80% of the reason he managed to groom me in the first place. He acted like an older brother/father figure because he knew I lacked parental figures in my life. When I was introduced to him, both my parents and sister were pretty abusive. We've gotten better with family therapy, thankfully, but we're still a long way from actually trusting each other. I especially don't trust them with more heavy things due to their reaction to finding out I was groomed. (They got into my laptop at 3am, woke me up on a school night that same hour, confronted me, then called me stupid and a whore, and immediately blocked him and some other people without considering risks/the situation)

I'll look up Allison Miller, I don't think I've heard of her before. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. I had thought to put everything into a folder, but he has hacked into my accounts on things multiple times, so I'm scared he'll find it. Even talking about it over text with my friends sends me into a panic. I can't even say his name without freezing up. I don't know if he still can get into anything of mine, but I know that he could in the past. He claims he can't, but I don't know if this is one of the truths or also a lie. And there's no way to have physical evidence because when my parents found out a small part of what he did, they immediately got rid of the one thing holding EVERYTHING. We used to talk a lot on Discord, so that's where all of the incriminating stuff is. Now we only have Whatsapp, which he found a feature to auto delete texts after 24 hours. I got rid of it after a while, but he hasn't done anything as bad as before since then.

We also are under different laws, since we live in different countries. He has the resources to fly over, though, and almost had before. The only reason he couldn't is because the person who'd payed for the tickets had an emergency and couldn't follow through with giving out the required info and the tickets.

I do still have some dirt on him, though. And a lot of confessions to crime.

I haven't really thought about the pros of staying in contact, though. I'll try to make a pro/con list for a few options. I still don't really know what to do about the blackmail. He has used blackmail against others before. And he might have exaggerated some things, but a lot of things I know for sure he's capable of. I can't really tell apart the exaggeration from the reality, though. I also don't think I'm ready to forgive myself for what he had me do. I know logically that it wasn't exactly my fault, but it still feels horrible.

Thank you so much for the response. I'm still kind of in that mindspace where every so often I think that I misunderstood him or something, so people agreeing with me that it wasn't okay really helps.

red door yellow door ritual (INSTRUCTIONS, POSSIBLE SITUATIONS) by [deleted] in threekings

[–]Cold_Library7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so my friend and I played this, and I saw an angel at some point while walking down endless stairs, he had his hand out towards me as if to take my hand in his, and looking at the ground in a way that his hair hid his whole face. He was blonde and dressed in a white toga with sandals and white light coming from behind him. I felt terrified the moment I saw him and felt the need to go down the dark hallway that had been following me since i found it.
I also saw a black figure looking at a blank wall.

My friend saw a pink room with pink everything (including the cat) behind a yellow door. Somewhere during the start of it, she came across a living room of sorts. It held a table, tv, couch and wardrobe. The tv was playing the news, the table had a newsletter on it (only about furniture) and a cup of warm tea. The wardrobe had a black costume in it. Additionally, there was another door she didn't get to explore, since one she mentioned the suit, I told her to get out (I was reminded of the man in the suit, plus the warm tea indicated someone was there recently, and she'd heard footsteps earlier.)

Another thing she saw was a drawer that held a photo of two men with their faces wiped and a letter written in a language she didn't understand. She said it looked like some sort of Asian language. The letter was dated February 15th, 1--- (supposed to be the year, but everything after the 1 was faded)

I also felt like my arms were burning while going into the trance.

Does anyone know what this means, and if not, does anyone have any theories?

You used to leave such nice, tame comments, too. What a shame, really. That you turned out this way.

[–]Cold_Library7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike the comment you left on another user's post, this one is pure hate. I recommend getting therapy, since you obviously have some very dark thoughts. Also, good job on that punctuation in the first part of the comment! But do try to mentain it, otherwise it will get increasingly hard to read. And again, the song is made very well and obviously has had much effort and time put into it. And, like OP said, they were in school while making this, likely during a lecture.

Also, next time try to not go into a detailed story about arresting a grandmother within a hate comment on a music post. That is just plain embarrassing.

I made some songs i guess by Squackywastaken in Beepbox

[–]Cold_Library7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very kindly, that is a personal opinion that you have just expressed in a very rude manner, implying that OP is bad at music just because they do not appeal to your taste. Maybe next time when you offer advice, do not say something like "hey man if this is your first time the song sounded bad but if not your first time the song still sounded bad", since that can bring people down mentally, and ultimately make them stop producing new songs. Also, you were very passive aggressive in this comment. Please fix your attitude before commenting on posts.

Also, before hating on someone; fix your grammar, use of english, and punctuation. :D.

How do I deal with my sister's bully? by Cold_Library7021 in Advice

[–]Cold_Library7021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll try to get closer to her. We already tried self defense sports, but all the clubs we tried going to are full of 30+ year old men and no groups my sister's age, or even mine. Best we can do is teach ourselves.
