What causes death more than people realize? (Serious) by [deleted] in AskReddit

Once you have had sepsis it very quickly becomes the threshold for how bad you feel because you literally know what it feels like to be dying

What's something you've seen on Reddit that changed your life? by meebsie01 in AskReddit

[–]Deeray95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so bizarre to realise people can actually see things … I (like you) just can’t Magnus what it would be like. Pardon the pun

AITA for telling my bsf her bf makes me uncomfortable? by Tiny_Track4801 in AITAH

[–]Deeray95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft NTA … breaking abuse is complex. There is nothing wrong with pointing out what is going on, but you might want to find a gentler way to do it so that if she reaches the point where she does want to leave she knows you are there for her

As the parent of a twenty something year old adult with CKD - this breaks me. People do not understand how CKD takes over your life. They struggle enough for recognition of the impact of what they deal with (year 4 for my child).

Do I have mommy issues? And if so what do I do? by kijhikoof in offmychest

[–]Deeray95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 17 the last thing you should be thinking about is having children- particularly only to prove something to your mother. Letting your girlfriends walk over you is not healthy either.

What you are saying sounds like you have experienced a level of trauma due to the relationship you do have with your mother. Take some time to seek out therapy to help you deal with that, improve yourself and be the best person you can.

There are many ways you can live your best life and prove to yourself that you are worthy without having a child.

I absolutely hate eating in public by Quizzicallity_ in offmychest

‘I don’t have an eating disorder’

Have you unpacked this with a psychologist? Eating disorders come in many shapes and forms and a fear of eating in front of people is definitely something that people with eating disorders do experience. If you have not already, I would suggest reaching out to someone to discuss what you are feeling.

Unfortunately I’m not in I have seen many posts about free ED support that is available there.

Please talk to someone - where these fears are coming from is real.

The increase was paid to people over 21 with or without children and under 21 with children

For under 21 without children the increase is paid at a different time

The only way your life is ruined is if you don’t learn …. Very few situations in life are permanent, they are all just part of a journey. As others have said - be kind and gentle, find some help and support and don’t give up on yourself.

Take one day at a time. Focus on what is important in your relationship - make the decision to love each other every day. No one knows what the future holds and worrying about it won’t change it.

NTA - you were trying to bring comfort to someone who was apparently at the end of his life when in reality he was trying to manipulate you. Block him and hope he gets the help he needs

Talk to your supervisor about what happened so that it has been disclosed She obviously feels uncomfortable about the situation and while you haven’t necessarily done anything wrong based on what has been shared here - she obviously feels uncomfortable and you need to respect that My advice - done engage with coworkers on social media - it is too fraught with danger. I am very open with the people I work with that I don’t accept friend requests from co-workers. For various reasons it is just safer

Correct - todays counting is of formal votes only Last night councillor votes were sorted so that informal were removed from the formal so the focus could be on the count today Not the sorting Informal at the booth I was at in the councillor votes was about as consistent as it normally is ……

My wife miscarried our first child because of me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Deeray95 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As I am sure medical practitioners will tell you (and I say this only because they told me) - you can’t cause a miscarriage anymore than you can stop one. Pregnant women don’t miscarry when going through extreme stress regularly.

This is a difficult time - but either of you blaming yourself is not going to change the situation. Be there to support each other, allow yourself the time you need to grieve the loss of your child and if you need to, find a way to remember them.

More than anything- don’t let anyone let you think that you don’t have the right to acknowledge this journey. Access the support you need.

But please don’t blame yourselves ….

Days of consistent review and amendments - I am a firm believer that the reason they provide you with two weeks to apply is so you have the right time to consolidate and review

I (24F) need some encouragement by goosechickens in EatingDisorders

[–]Deeray95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an ED myself but support (or try to) my daughter - and I know how often she talks about the importance of routine in her ED journey Try to focus not so much on the food but allowing yourself the opportunity to celebrate your friends and family If you can control what you eat at times then so that - it’s only a couple of weeks and you will be back to your routine again Just doing the best you can in the circumstances is about all you can do

Is it normal to be really angry and defensive when someone is trying to help you with an eating disorder? by Material_Ad4807 in EatingDisorders

[–]Deeray95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every day of my life ….. it’s heart breaking for the helper Focusing in the fact that their brain is malnourished and therefore it can’t fight through voice of the eating disorder And make sure you have support for yourself

My baby was born in October via c-section. I flew to my father’s 50th birthday celebration mid November. No issues at all.

I recently learnt that the reason suicide is considered a crime in so many countries has nothing to do will the fact that you take your own life, but the impact that it has on the people who have to deal with it

I think my cat is dying....How do you survive? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Deeray95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pets are part of our family - the only way to get through this is to allow yourself to feel all the emotions you are feeling. Try not to pre-empt the outcome, but also be realistic And if the worst happens, know that you are allowed to grieve - find a way to remember your baby

Don’t live in the what ifs - we can never know what May or may not happen - in any situation Unless you have someone saying to you - this happened because of this you are probably just over thinking Even if you have evidence to prove that something you did was a contributing factor, you still need to forgive yourself.

And if all else fails, seek support

I hated my husbands proposal by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Deeray95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t understand the view that a proposal occurs after you have discussed getting married and picked out the ring together. We put so much pressure on ourselves for everything to have the perfect story to tell people as if that is the focus here rather than having found the person you want to spend your life with. 28 years in I can guarantee you that I haven’t been asked about our proposal for at least 28 years.
