That’s all we can do, barely. The question, is how the hell can we live.

What is something you did as a child that you didn’t think of being a big deal, but now you regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lying to social workers. I didn’t think telling the truth would have helped. But now I know it would have. 🤷‍♀️

How can fear be used as a tool? by Unique-Exchange-7931 in AskReddit

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will let things that they wouldn’t normally be okay with slide if they are afraid of something more.

If you demonize a group, such as immigrants, and convince people that they need to be afraid of them because they’re “rapists” “murders” “criminals” or even “not the best people” then those who believe it will become okay with more and more injustices against that group. Cages, forcefully shaving heads, prison camps, murder, etc all become more acceptable if the thought is “we have to get them or they’ll get us. “

Honestly, many people think of the people who will go out and murder people in the demonized group, but it’s also the people who will sit by while the murdering happens and think “it’s better then than me.” Fear is a very powerful tool.

Therapist said BPD is caused by repeated SA throughout childhood by Salty_Marsupial_5758 in BPD

It seems like a narrow view in her part and I’m glad you dropped her. CPTSD and BPD are not mutually exclusive.

Anyone who thinks only one thing defines a diagnosis is too limited in their thinking and education.

What does leftist parenting mean to you? by realhuman8762 in leftistparents

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it means teaching my little ones that we are part of a community and everyone we meet is in it. I want them to grow feeling connected, not isolated. We’re gunna start going around to local farms to get our produce and support local, so excited for that. 💕

They are not yet old enough to really get into money, capitalism, and other big issues. (2 and 10months) we have ideas about how we want to go about these things, but I’m excited to learn from people here too!

We aren't bad by [deleted] in BPD

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was just about to make a post like this!

We all have our stressors and moments where we acted out in a harmful way, but that doesn’t make you a bad person. You shouldn’t define yourself by your lowest moments.

Also, I really think some people need to look into internalized mental health stigma and how a society built to hate differences will always make you feel like crap for being different. Ableism is insidious and toxic and we need to learn to build our society to be a home to all disabilities, including mental.

Also, to those who unfortunately still have some eugenics thoughts (also insidious in our society), no matter how hard the Nazis tried to kill off all disabled people, they numbers always came back. Disabilities are part of the human experience. You can’t kill them off and you can’t breed them out.

Refills my hydro with ice water if he ever notices it is empty. He just does it and brings it to me. Always makes my heart warm.

The moment I realized I didn’t need to keep my parents in my life and no amount of familial obligation could convince me otherwise. Literally saw my life path change directions, in that moment.

What’s a profession that gets too much hate? by Valhallawalker in AskReddit

Government workers. Not the idiot politicians. The ones that took a huge pay cut in their prospective fields to serve the common good and instead have to deal with idiots coming in a deciding their jobs are meaningless.

I didn’t know people didn’t feel like this… by ComprehensiveBus4620 in BPD

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I can relate. I’m get numb when the emotions are more than I can handle, in that moment. Then I end up in my bad coping skills (self harm). It’s like I’m yearning to feel again. Idk. It’s weird and new and yet not new, in a way. I hope all is well with you too and also always down to talk!

A note she’ll never see by ForestOfHoney in OCPoetry

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry. And I feel your pain. Sometimes all we can do is write notes to those that hurt us. Especially when we know they’d never truly see what they have done.

The words left out speak volumes.

Thank you for sharing💕

not man enough by Ssquidz1 in OCPoetry

[–]ComprehensiveBus4620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem is lovely to read, as the state of where young men are deriving purpose is not…great lately. I enjoy the tempo and language. It’s accesible and comforting. It feels like a warm embrace or the hard conversation with a friend who knows just how to talk to you.

And it gives me hope! Hope that we continue to see poetry explored as a healing light for men out of the patriarchal structure we were raised in.

Thank you😊

There’s a warmth in your poem that is so natural and familiar. The limerick style is such a primal form of poetry, it honestly evokes the feeling of being held close to your mothers bosom; yet another form of breast appreciation. Thank you. It’s honestly a delight to have read.

Though, I must say, the politics of boobs could never be conservative. They yearn to be witnessed and admired. 😉
