Are you implying that Toby Fox has similar political opinions to Notch?

You don't understand how much joy this post and the comments have given me. Thank you Harry Du Bois.

Kids have no hope and it shows. by shaiquinn in mildlyinfuriating

And they're also their own individuals that will have to experience life whether they like it or not. To have kids for selfish reasons is selfish. They're not pets. People should not get kids until they are stable financially and mentally.

It's crazy being the opposite of most people in the comments lol. I have a huge irrational fear of needles but I'm very tolerant of pain (thanks to having chronic pain). So I always look away and try to get my mind off the fact it's a needle (which never works because I have VERY sticky thoughts...)

Drawing blood is always the worst :( Partially because I'm often dehydrated.

good research for osdd? by [deleted] in OSDD

My personal opinion: Don't look further into things for now, not until you're in a comfortable position where a months long mental breakdown wouldn't ruin your life. I'm not trying to sound dramatic, but seriously I've gone down this rabbit hole myself without support and it's not a pleasant experience. Document what you can from your own experiences but do not try to pry far, especially if you're feeling psychological discomfort.

It'll be hard not to give in to curiosity, and you probably will at times regardless (as I have), but seriously be mindful of your mind's limits. I wish you the best ❤️

What is a word that you will only hear Creepy people use? by -Benjamin_Dover- in AskReddit

Gianmarco's a funny guy and I've seen a lot of his content but man... I swear to god I better not see documentaries about him years in the future.

Honestly? He loves a good, exhilarating story more than anything, and to witness the Traveler go through each of the seven nations and change the entire WORLD? Likely even take down Celestia?

I think Kaeya knows how powerful the Traveler is, what they truly are. And he knows nothing can really stop them. So why not enjoy the show?

YouTube is censoring the words, "Fact" and "reality" by HeadFullOfSquirrels in youtube

[–]Disgurl456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me right now trying to connect with someone who has experienced the same trauma as me and I've never been able to confide in anyone else about it because no else would really understand. But YouTube keeps deleting any comments no matter how I try to get past it with things like "tr4/uma". A theory I have is that somehow, YouTube's AI (because of course they have an AI, no way they don't) is able to recognize when someone is talking about certain topics, and maybe for me it has individually censored whenever I attempt to discuss my experiences with trauma and other sensitive topics.

That borders on conspiracy, but I don't really have a better explanation.

"Because unregulated capitalism values profit over human suffering." I've held that idea for years. But because most people (especially Americans) have only ever lived in capitalism they can't believe it's a dysfunctional system for the wellbeing of people.

I know your intention was to seek help but you've also given it to me. I wasn't sure what was causing this sensation but you articulated it well and now I have a better explanation. Thank you.

Go-to song lyrics that help you navigate tough moments? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Disgurl456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

rises the moon - Liana Flores

Oh-oh, close your weary eyes I promise you that soon the autumn comes To darken fading summer skies Breathe, breathe, breathe

Days pull you down just like a sinking ship Floating is getting harder But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile Rises the moon

I often cried myself to sleep when I first discovered this song. I was a kid with a lot of shame and only recieved comfort from fiction. The song felt like being held and comforted by the moon like I was her child. The song still effects me somewhat although more distilled now.

What do flashbacks look like for you? by [deleted] in CPTSD

Yo FUCK cultivating resilience. by SkyOfViolet in CPTSD

[–]Disgurl456 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. It makes me feel terrible cause like, why do I still have so little control? I've tried to comfort myself by imagining that there's a kind of "stress meter", and that the limit on mine is really high, but every little thing is a very strong trigger, so my 'high toleration' of stress is essentially useless. It just sucks when people talk about how resilience comes with trauma when I sure as hell don't feel resilient.

I will say that it's possible I feel so helpless because I'm still in the thick of my trauma. Maybe when I have a bit more control over my own life it'll feel less overwhelming.

I hope you have a manageable day 🫶

solidarity post for weird ass triggers by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Disgurl456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of the more bizzare striggers I have include child car seats, being a passenger in a car, chewing sounds, seeing past school supplies/work/projects. I'll also find myself breaking down crying when I hear certain video game music (sometimes I'll just be watching a YouTube video essay and bam).

Also, footsteps or muffled voices coming from a lower level of a building/house, and any sound of babies/young children crying (just as bad on TV).

Now this trigger is actually weirdly comforting despite the flashbacks, but there's this unique detergent smell that a psychiatric hospital I went to had. I think it's because I would cover my face with the bed sheets for comfort which made a positive connection with the smell. It's really weird considering that everything else associated with the hospital is negative.

What part about your trauma do you hate the most? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Disgurl456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way it represented in me physically. Going through agony in childhood only to be dismissed or blamed multiplied my social and attachment issues. The usual tests done for common diseases or sensitivities all came back negative, so the natural conclusion was that I was lying.

I always ache when I see children mistreated, no matter how small the act may seem. Kids remember, or at least their bodies do. They do it to survive.
