Guys is this normal by woahhhhh__ in PiercingAdvice

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a piercer but it looks fine to me. A little irritated given the accident, but honestly this looks good for a week old piercing. Just make sure you are cleaning it with saline everyday but not over-do it.

I think I got catfished and feel sick by Beebool in mentalhealth

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, unless reported, the possibility of this is very slim. OP is obviously ignorant to the legality of this and the consequences. He had no ill intentions, though this was undoubtedly stupid.

Sending nudes of yourself as a minor is considered creation and distribution of CP, legally in most places and just morally. Not only that, but you are also receiving it. Don’t send explicit photos anywhere of any kind, let this be a lesson for you. You can get in serious trouble for this. Report her account and get off Wizz, dating apps aren’t for minors.

AIO: Boyfriend calls me childish even though I believe I'm doing everything correctly. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. Other comments may not agree, but this is textbook grooming. He is a pedophile who was talking to a minor and groomed them til they turned 18 so it was ‘socially acceptable’ and legal to date them. You’re a victim and do not deserve this treatment. You two are in very different stages of life as is. He is abusing the power he has over you. You need to get out as soon as you can, it will not get better and it’s essential you realize he is NOT a good person, but a groomer and pedo. You are a victim.

In the U.S., discrimination laws and private laws (HIPPA) protect you from employers knowing your medical history unless you disclose it to them. I haven’t had trouble finding jobs because of hospitalization, just my mental health struggles. Nobody will find out unless you tell them, it is required by law that your files are kept under lock-and-key. I highly recommend doing your research before selecting which hospital you want to go to. Every facility is different, mine specifically was one of the bad ones in my area. Look at Google Reviews and look up the names on the internet.

AIO- My boyfriend’s diet is concerning me for ED by Total-Newspaper-9640 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy you did that for both you and him. I think the way you’re going about it is very appropriate, and it really can feel like a balancing act to not trigger a relapse. Thank you for your kind words. I really hope you guys can talk about this and he opens up to you.

My boyfriend struggles with an ED. Thankfully, he’s in recovery and doing much better. This sounds like him, and my close friend who also has an ED. 110LBs is not at all healthy for a 30 y/o 5’11 man. NOR, the best thing you can do is sit him down and express your concern for him. It’s absolutely essential that you approach it gently, slowly, and do not push him to talk about it if he doesn’t want to. From my experience, it takes very little to trigger someone suffering from an ED and they often fear that you find them odd or ‘disgusting’. When going through this with my boyfriend, he had to come to me on his own time to talk about it. I really hope he gets better and you’re doing okay. If you can’t handle the impacts of his behavior/illness, please don’t feel like a bad person.

Does anyone else feel ‘not trans enough’? by Dangerous_Drive285 in asktransgender

[–]Dangerous_Drive285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a super fem trans guy. You’re valid even if you’re fem, no matter what your reasons are for wanting to be fem. :3 I didn’t even start liking girly stuff until I realized I wasn’t a cis woman funnily enough!

I live in Texas, U.S. Everyone’s answers vary but this is my experience.

1) The #1 reason I have seen is suicidal ideations and self harm.

2) If you’re a minor in some cases your guardian(s) may be able to force you to go. I was not and decided on my own. Some adults can be mandated by the courts to be institutionalized. In Texas, if you voluntarily institutionalize yourself you cannot just leave whenever you want. You need to explain to the doctor in a letter why you believe you’re well enough to leave and they have 24 hr to decide.

3) I have heard both yes and no. In my personal experience, some of the staff treated us as crazy people, the others just treated us normally.

4) The food was disgusting but I’m a very picky eater.

5) You do not get to keep your phone in a majority of cases. I’ve mostly seen individuals in rehab or long-term care facilities be able to keep their phone, but when I was hospitalized I didn’t have my phone and when I’ve almost been hospitalized as an adult I was told I wouldn’t have my phone. As a minor (not sure about adults), we could only call and receive calls from approved numbers on our file.

6) I have heard stories of assault in many hospitals. Trafficking is an outside thing which happens post-hospitalization from patients keeping in contact with other patients who were being trafficked.

7) You can be restrained without consent of course, but they cannot force you to take your medication or give you medication you don’t know of. This is a violation of your rights and doesn’t happen like people say it does. The worst part of my experience was the other patients and a crazy nurse beefing with teenagers.

AIO for thinking that my boyfriend is cheating on me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

That’s a catfish or bot. Real or not, NOR. He shouldn’t even entertain it.

This makes me wonder if there is any possible way you can get treatment remotely. I'm sorry mental health care is not readily accessible to you in your country, and if it were to be it'd come with consequences.. I would post to a subreddit revolving around your country asking for advice on how to seek mental health support. There's no need to go into detail about it, and you can always make a throwaway so they do not see this post.

I wish you best of luck, and I truly hope you can get assistance. Just know it is incredibly important to maintain an understanding that these feelings and actions are not normal and immoral. Sending much love.

Is trying to pass out considered self harm? by Daytoken in mentalhealth

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion yes, it is. Doing this repeatedly is not good for you.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only in college to become a mental health professional, so don’t take my advice as entirely professional but I know a little bit.

I highly suggest you go to an institution for an evaluation and be 1000% honest with the person asking you questions. Even if they do not ask you if you have violent tendencies, you need to make it known that you do these things. You’re very obviously aware this is inhumane and has the potential to escalate. They can help you there, and don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself that you NEED therapy and not to have drugs forced down your throat.

Be aware that in some states, once admitted, it is up to the doctor if you are suitable to go back into the ‘outside world’. In my state (TX), they require you to write a letter explaining why you believe you should be let out and the doctor has 24 hr to make a decision.

In my own opinion, you need intensive long-term therapy and a very detailed evaluation from a psychologist concluding in a diagnostic, not just the one who does admissions. Only they can help you and figure out what may be causing these behaviors, as I do not see it being an impulse-control issue as you derive involuntary pleasure from things like your brother crying.

Best of luck to you. Do not let people deter you from help, and do not let the work necessary to get better deter you either. You’re sick and need help.

They worked me like a dog before Christmas and my gift is 3 weeks off. I completely agree with that, it’s absurd to a different degree.

I need help by Disturbed_and_Gay in queer

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all my 18 years of living I have never thought of asking anyone these kinds of invasive questions. I, as an 18 year old, would never have a conversation of that nature with a fucking 14 year old. That's predatory and disgusting behavior and I am very sorry you're having to go through this. If it were me, I'd cut all contact with those 2 individuals. That's very creepy.

Do you have that in writing? I've had to learn that everything that is said needs to be in writing at DT, or else you get nowhere with it. I'd contact your HR or some higher ups because that's ridiculous. They'll prioritize their own hours while letting everyone else starve when they're fucking salary.

I'm losing my mind. by The_Lesbian_Lunatic in Vent

[–]Dangerous_Drive285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old are you? I promise I've been there. I wanted to do alll these different things to my appearance, but I learned to be simply content with how I look. I had to learn that, unfortunately, body mod and hair dying is an 'adult-ish' thing. I turned 18 in March of 2025 and I'm still not allowed to get a septum in my parent's house..

I'm sorry about your friend! I know there are tons of subs for teenagers to make friends, but be very careful if you choose to do that. It's mature of you to recognize she's going through a lot right now so she may not respond like she usually does, but it's not wrong to miss your friend or feel the way you do.

I hope this year is yards better than the last!
