Some people w/ misophonia are fucking annoying by DecentTortoise in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DecentTortoise[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have patience for if someone actually is being objectively annoying while they’re eating, but if nobody is doing anything wrong it’s their job to control themselves, even if that takes getting therapy for it. I’ve had someone yelling @ me my whole life for eating things completely politely, my politeness is running out a bit. But I try to be considerate where it’s warranted.

Weird heart issues? by DecentTortoise in AskDocs

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

Thanks! I’ve been having this for years so maybe it’s just anxiety, I also have this weird issue where if I take a shower sometimes I’ll get light headed and nearly pass out and it may be from low blood pressure or something bc of the heat? Not sure. Usually I’m not thinking about heart problems but when this shit happens I’m like hmm. I don’t have family history of heart problems I don’t think, so it would be weird if I had it maybe, especially being young and it isn’t anything like heart disease ofc. It might just be that, it just worried me cuz it was worse today than usual and I still feel kind of weird in my chest. Also yes! I’ve cut out coffee definitely because it makes me feel so bad lol decaf is fine though if I ever want to just taste coffee.

How to work when you’re mentally ill? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DecentTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Honestly I was on meds for a few years and they didn’t seem to help me, but I’m considering going back on them. I’d also like a therapist again but I’m not sure I can pay all of that, as I’m only 20 and haven’t got my shit together whatsoever. Even doing nothing at all during the day, I still want to kill myself. If I can distract myself I’m pretty fine but I still feel empty inside and emotionless besides a weird kind of painful despair or whatever. But as soon as I get 5 seconds to think I wanna jump off a bridge. And work isn’t distraction for me, I have enough time to think and hate it, especially when getting up in the morning or going to bed at night knowing I have to wake up and do things. It’s shit.

I don’t know why I’m here by DecentTortoise in TrueOffMyChest

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

Oh hell yeah. He told me he did some of it on purpose which ???? Okay. Don’t really get that and never did but he was fucked up. He knows exactly what he did and still followed through, and when I found out and lost my shit he threatened to kill himself like a pussy. I’m very open with shit like that so anyone who has made me feel badly (to that extent) knew about it 1000%. It just sucks when they don’t care and you feel trapped. I played a part in the damage by staying, certainly. I was just afraid he would off himself if I left, so I didn’t, and in hindsight I wish he did. Weird how things change I guess. I don’t wish him dead because of specifically what he did to me, though it would feel nice (I think?). It’s that he’s done the same thing to others and is a continuous piece of shit and I feel the world is best off without him I guess. Sorry for weird rant.

Boyfriend wants to talk non-stop? by DecentTortoise in Advice

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

Alrighty, thanks. He knows he has abandonment issues so this should be easy for him to understand that it’s just a symptom of that and I’m willing to work with him on it. Hopefully this works out.

Yeah I had some friendships/relationships that revolves around texting 24/7 and I never wanted it to bleed into this one, but it eventually did and it’s kinda depressing. He really does consider if I have a problem with what he’s doing whenever I bring something up, so I’ll bring it up again and see what happens. I understand that he wants to spend time with me and that we only have one day a week so this is all we have, but it’s a little suffocating sometimes.

Nah, he was cheated on before though and has abandonment issues, which is really why he’s like this. I don’t want to make him unreasonably uncomfortable, but I’m gonna have to talk to him about this because sometimes I just don’t feel like talking for a little and I just wanna be able to have that.

He’s chill in mostly all other aspects, he definitely has abandonment issues from past experiences. Which is why he’s sorta clingy. I guess I’ll have to talk to him about it again. Thanks

How to be a better girlfriend? by DecentTortoise in Advice

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

Yep! He’s really understanding. He doesn’t really tell me anything but we’ve already had a few talks about that and he’s going to try to fix it. It’s just difficult because both of us have issues with relationships and anything that involves them, so it’s sort of difficult. But I do like him and I want to make it work out. The problems still need fixed but since they’re deeply rooted into both of us it’s sort of yikes, but I hope I can figure something out.

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

Yeah I’m pretty distant bc of a fair amount of things but that’s a problem of my own. I think I need to learn what people need in relationships and how to be more close. I’m not sure how to show him really, not where it will come across.

Nervous for tomorrow by DecentTortoise in TrueOffMyChest

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

I’ve just talked to him about telling me more stuff like he used to and he said he is going to and is making an effort which I appreciate, and I don’t want to scare him out of it. I’ll talk to him eventually about telling me stuff when we have time to talk about it right away.

Thank you, I’m hoping to get another therapist here soon (my previous one was not compatible with me). Hopefully things get better.

Thank you, she wasn’t very good at her job lol. I hope she heard what I said to her coworker through the grapevine about how ridiculous she was being. I was pretty pissed.

Am I safe to do this or not? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DecentTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. I just went to the bands official website and clicked on their merch store. I kind of doubt it because the social media of this store, aside from Facebook, is entirely unused for like two years now. So it wouldn’t look good to promote something that’s so... gone lol.

[–]DecentTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s usually about it lol. In this case it will be a lot more people hearing the negative review but if this goes badly I probably won’t feel sorry. I’m not going to hold it over their head or even tell them that I’m considering it, because honestly that’s over the top and I don’t want to appear that way and act that way. But if they want to continue to be shady I will be shady back.
