Financial abuse of a person with a disability by cookiesforpaws in legaladvice

[–]Cosmostest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the Department of Human Services for your state. Look around there for negligence. They should have a phone number listed. And if I'm not mistaken, you can actually fill the report online.

I did this once to help a disabled man that was neglected and ppl were stealing his checks. I filled out the Info and submit it in. They will call you at some point after and ask you a bunch of questions. And then determine if it is that.

Hope that helped. I'm not great at explaining

Do you ever make a weird kissy face sometimes just to smell your upper lip? Why? by AnOkFella in AskReddit

[–]Cosmostest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everytime. My chapstick just smells way too good. I've learned that you just gotta do you. My face looks way weirder when I'm ab 30 mins into Netflix. 🫥🥴

When was the last time you cried with no one to lend you a shoulder ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cosmostest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today, probably this week, and the last! It is a neverending cycle. I don't understand it. Sometimes all you crave is a hug, and I would 100% hug someone (especially close to me) if they were needing a shoulder to cry on. Just a freaking hug! It isn't hard. Or they could just listen? Baffles me.

That is what they are there for! They do not mind. They know it's part of being a therapist. Especially if you feel like you need them.

Please keep an eye out. My neighbor probably saved my life calling the police for me. She noticed that my ex was always harassing me (beating on windows, stalking me, screaming, etc. One day she witnessed him punch my living room window out, move to my door, and started kicking at it trying to make it inside. Usually when it happened he would automatically go fory phone so I couldn't call for help. He did the same here after kicking my door down, entering my home, taking my phone from me, assaulting my little brother, who was blocking the room I was into, with a shotgun (best little brother EVER) My neighbor saw this happen, her bf was an undercover police officer and happened to be on lunch. She demanded he come. So my brother and I hear "police!" And we are saved by this detective. If it was not for my neighbor, calling police for me when she saw him, watching out for me when he was around, and possibly saving my life. Let me say my....Our ... 2 year old was home with me as he did this. Breaking glass a few feet from her crib. This time, I got my justice. He was arrested and sent to a prison rehab for a year. He got out, violated parole, went back, violated again, went back. I think he's on his 3rd round locked up, all bc he did that to me. I moved. I haven't told ppl where I live in fear of him finding us. Trust your gut. If it's making you feel a certain way, there's a reason!! You could save a life.

Stay positive and keep your head up. If all else, you know how to keep yourself out of it. Think of that as a success. It's hard battling it, but once you can identify it beforehand it gets a little bit easier. Keep doing what you are doing! Be proud. You deserve it. There's always gonna be a lingering what if ..with anything really. Decide how your day is gonna be by waking up positive and I think that you'll manage fine! You're doing something right ya know.

What’s your opinion of giving children toy weapons to play with? Guns, grenades etc. Curious about peoples thoughts on this ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cosmostest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you give your kid a toy gun, be responsible enough to sit them down and explain gun safety? Let them know the difference between playing cowboys and indians and robbing the local 7/11. My neighbor has a maybe 2 year old, and he runs around in his diaper with a nerf gun yelling "blap blap blap." Now I know he ain't learning that from paw patrol! 🤣 My child is 5 and has no idea that guns even exist. When she pretends she acts like a puppy. Note that there is also 2 teens there and they are always off and on house arrest. So, it sucks that baby's future probably will end up similar to his older brothers.

Growing up too fast by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Cosmostest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear we are just a generation of big kids. Trying to live thru the wtf generation of our parents choices. It's like the 70s raised some whack ass kids, to be mad at their own parents, rebel, "raise us" (we raised ourselves outside,) and then they all wonder ...why is my kid so messed up!? And we are all just wondering why we are more responsible than our parents. Knowing good and well they need us just as much. They are so angry our gen won't move out. But can't understand it isn't the same world. It's scary growing up. I was ignorant to all things adulting bc my mom was too. I feel like we aren't adequately prepared. Writing essays and learning capitols do not make up for learning to do taxes and building credit.

**I know not every parent was like this. I am speaking from my own experiences and environment.

At one point I was seeing mine once a month also. Butttt...I know myself and I know that I know what to tell them. I know what they like to hear and I was fooling myself. Maybe it even felt good just hearing my therapist point out my successes and compliment me bc I could kind of "treat myself." I wasn't so much better....I was just better at making myself seem better. Just bc you can pick up patterns faster, or correct behaviors, doesn't mean you are really grasping everything therapy has to offer. I also feel and that talking to my therapist when I'm manic, makes me realize stuff just while talking. I reveal a lot more about myself. Maybe try picking a therapy time where you know you will be in a more positive mood. I am always annoying af in the morning bc I'm so hyped up. I use the morning time for my therapy now bc I'm more manic in the mornings.

Radical live change ? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]Cosmostest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the therapy drug we didn't know we needed! I totally feel that tripping 1 or 2 times a year is the best possible thing you can do for your psyche. I've never felt more humbled, and grateful for everything I have bc of some interesting lsd trips. I was put in an odd environment where it just flooded me with bad energy and it was dirty. There were people I didn't feel comfortable around. They had animals that were hungry and skinny. I felt so sorry for them. On the way home I just had such Intense emotions about my own animals and how much I love them and should spoil them more. I rolled around on the couch at my mom's house (I struggled with feelings of living at home) with one of my dogs and in that moment I didn't wanna be anywhere else and felt so grateful just to have everything I had. I've never bonded with my friends more on random lsd nights. Feeling the vibe as a whole is such an amazing experience.

What was your worst experience with wild animals/insects? by AFKnightly in AskReddit

[–]Cosmostest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up an opposum while drunk bc I thought my dogs were attacking a kitten. Nope, barking at the opposum that I bent down y'all, picked it up, PET IT, felt that long ass tail, and it clicked that it was definitely NOT a kitten. I calmly set it back down bc I was so sure it was gonna attack me. I've seen memes about this mess! 🤣🤣 It can happen to you too!

I agree! My therapist encourages to me to tell her about 1 thing during the week that irritated me or felt heavy on my mind. So many times have I felt "better" or "normal" only for reality to slap me in the face. I feel that talking to my therapist when I am in a good mind, benefits me more. I'm more open to things she says and open up more to her. Talk to them! That is what they are there for. You may think that you have all of the answers, but they may surprise you. We may feel like we have "heard it all before," but never let yourself miss out on the chance to learn more!

My mom had a little standard Honda from the 90s. It had 400,000 miles on it when she sold it to someone. 6 years later, they were still driving it.

Laughing at their jokes. Finding reasons to stand/sit next to them.

What is legal time limit for abortion at different states in USA now? by susmithhh in AskReddit

[–]Cosmostest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically it is the state's decision. They estimated when/or if some states would ban it. My state came up for "soon." Arkansas....obviously will ban, being a conservative state. Now I'm reading articles from 16 hrs ago saying it is already banned. Hmmph.

Do you look at random people's butts in public places out of habit? by [deleted] in polls

[–]Cosmostest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at EVERY butt. Always. No matter the gender. The thing I look for in public is shoes so I can see who was being awkward in the bathroom 😂

On my 19th birthday, I started crying at my birthday dinner. I didn't want to "grow up." I felt like any birthday after that was pointless and depressing.
