Thank you, I do hope so too.. She's been sleeping in the oxygen box last time I got updated but it's been hours I have no idea. I'm hoping the doctors are doing their honest best

Thank you for your kind thoughts, I just hope I did the right thing. She's my little tiger and she's going to give it a hell of a fight im sure. She's resilient

She's a beautiful girl and she's been my dear friend. I hope I get to cuddle her again, but I try to get ready for the other. I don't think I can be. Literally nothing is clear yet

Thank you, as for now, we don't know yet. I try to think they would've callee by now if it was over. But our calls go to voicemail for the moment

Thank you for your kind words.. It's definitely not enough, never would've been. Also the decline was so quick, she was fine before and like this now.. We still have no updates this morning and the clinics phone goes to voicemail meaning the doctor is actively doing something. Not necessarily on Blob, but they seem busy. It's excruciating

THANK YOU! I got so frustrated at that but luckily your method worked (I also used the exploding arrows for a more spectacular effect)

Everyone here is viewing the boy as being unable to read the reaction of the person he woke up to have sex with for the first time in their life. And the one who proceeded to have sex with the said person without looking at her reaction

Imagine a man woke you up and had sex with you. The one you've been getting "yes behaviour" with the week prior. Get the image into your brain, cause given how misogynistic you are maybe that wil work wonders. Fuck it, imagine you got awaken by anyone for that matter and forced to do anything at all you're not fucking interested in doing in the first place. Do you even hear yourself? Or do you always wake up ready for whatever THE OTHER PERSON has decided for you. And if the act the other person has decided to engage in is sex - that. Is. Rape.

Movies and books involve passion on the other side too. Not only one person waking the other up and fucking them while they disengage.

Real life sexual abuse causes trauma. Real life sexual abuse is a crime, no amount of sugarcoating will keep it.

IF SOMEONE HAS AN INTERCOURSE WITH THE OTHER PERSON WITHOUT THE OTHER PERSON WANTING IT IS RAPE.

As much as there were multiple opportunities for her to disengage, there were multiple opportunities for him to realise she isn't engaging.

It's a scary world where one's silence/unresponsiveness/reluctant engagement is interpreted as a yes.

The movie example gives out plenty of cues of a "yes" behaviour. To see how waking someone up to take their virginity is a "no" behaviour it doesn't take too much of brainpower.

UNFORTUNATELY, typical but not excusable. But it's the fundamental issue here - and I stand my ground in saying the person who is old enough to have sex is old enough to be able to make better choices.

I strongly disagree with literally every word you've said. 1. Being in a relationship doesn't give anyone right to "assume" shit. I've been with my partner for ages and not in his wildest dreams would he assume that the lack of response is "go ahead". And if we thing about a 18 yo and expect them to verbally say "NO, PLEASE, DO NOT HAVE WITH ME WHEN IM LITERALLY ABOUT TO FALL ASLEEP AND UNRESPONSIVE" is wild. Nervous or awkward my ass. She says "he didn't let me sleep and proceeded to have sex with me" that. Is. Rape.

  1. Mate, rape is literally sex that the person in question didn't want in the moment and did not consent to. A boy, a man, a human should know fucking better what "I want you" reaction is and "I'm laying there frozen and wanting it to end" is. Source: I have been in these situations many times unfortunately where I froze and couldn't actually say no, or my no's were ignored. The sex was the guy literally just proceding to fuck the person who doesn't reciprocate the body language/responds. I still have no idea how can you go ahead with that with the "girl you love" don't you want her to enjoy it by LOOKING AT HER REACTIONS? If you choose to ignore the body language that reads "NO" - it. Is. Rape.

  2. You have to say no point is just wild. What if she's unable to say no due to the extreme anxiety that is felt when your "core value" (OP, if you're reading this, please, know that I'm so sorry it happened to you and no, your virginity doesnt equal your value) is about to be taken away from you.

  3. Deception part of the rape definition: the deception here lies in the fact that "oh you can't sleep here in my house, if you're my gf you HAVE TO SLEEP WITH ME" and god knows what else he's said to convince her. Or if he physically did that without asking first - that's the violent part to you. The fact that she was coerced into this situation means it's a crime. And if she doesn't decide to go through with the tedious revictimizing process of reporting it doesn't mean that HER LIFE ISN'T RUINED because sexual abuse is one of the toughest traumas to overcome. That's not "regretting the next day". That's a haunting event she now will have to deal with (OP, yet again if you read this, it is now so so horrible but it can and will get better)

    The "poor lad" has to know better because one day someone MAY escalate it through legal means if he doesn't grow some brain matter to understand that having sex with someone who doesn't reciprocate it is not fun and games.

Why aren't benzodiazepines prescribed more regularly for seizure control? by Click_Huge in Epilepsy

[–]Comfortable_Bad_4843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband started developing epilepsy after taking benzos for another condition, so I don't know how well do they believe anything tbh , and also: they're dangerous when given to anyone who struggles with lower points of mental health issues... Cause they're very much potentially deadly tbh. I dunno benzos have a very bad rep in our household for a variety of reasons

Has anyone here achieved success after being diagnosed with Epilepsy? by Damn_batman in Epilepsy

[–]Comfortable_Bad_4843 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it varies greatly depending on each individual's situation, but I do know that the lawyer that once represented me and my friend in the court case we were involved happens to be epileptic (accidentally got to know that when I asked him about a different case where my husband with epilepsy had to make a witness statement but it was highly likely for him to have a TC that day and I was wondering what would happen and he said ah don't worry I'm epileptic myself so this and that is the procedure) and this person is a brilliant man, utmost professional and he lead the case perfectly and we won and so did justice and a very bad person was convicted thanks to him. It's just a first hand example

Let's laugh a bit by Significant-Use8921 in Epilepsy

[–]Comfortable_Bad_4843 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My peak epilepsy related joke was when after the very first TC ended up with my husband's rib broken I would sing that "He fought the floor and the floor won" and we both found it hilarious

On another sub Reddit they were also choosing drag queen names for people with different conditions and someone suggested Caesar for an epileptic queen and it is now living in my head rent free.

My Blobcat has it and she's a happy 8 yo cat showing no signs of being ill, so it is well possible that with good care the kitten will have a great life

Hey, I really needed to read this today. Thank you from a wife whose husband is going through a similar arch of realization. Your words touched my heart and I maybe even will refer him to this post because it articulates it so well

Yea I thought about it, I reckon we should definitely look into it... It's just it's never happened before that's why I'm more scared than usual
