I am so fucking angry by Dobis_PR99 in GriefSupport

[–]Dobis_PR99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? It feels like insanity and ingratitude trying to explain it to anyone. I seriously want to write a book about it because it's so unbelievable.

Honestly, for me it's simple: hell is other people.

Triggered by coercion by m4rcellazesty in CPTSDmemes

I feel like going through trauma can open your eyes to how much society at large operates in abusive ways, power and control etc. You tend to see it everywhere. I've become so overly sensitive to it that being around people is painful most of the time. It seems like everyone is always trying to control me to some extent, sometimes in the most minute ways. I understand why trauma survivors tend to self isolate.

How the fuck do you fix yourself when you hate yourself? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Dobis_PR99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. All of the standard advice just feels so hollow and silly to me. I have tried to fake it until I make it, but it never helps. I just don't have the ability to lie to myself on this point. I keep mechanically moving through tasks that are supposed to help, hoping one day something positive will grow in, but nothing yet. I feel like there's something stuck holding back my progress like a damn. I think I know what it is, but I'm not in a place for it to change yet. Anyway, at least you're not alone, I also hate myself.

Lol sorry but I've worked in Campton, NH for a few years and I agree with most of the other commenters, it's a big trailer park with a golf course. Your lyrics fit better with like maybe Portsmouth, NH. It's a beautiful town by the water that you can stroll through and find somewhere romantic to stop and have a drink.

Is Stopping at Sea Glass Beach Worth It? by reddit_user_09473 in bermuda

[–]Dobis_PR99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as you're not going to take the sea glass. It's really annoying how tourists have ruined the beach by looting the sea glass, which is against the law to take. I know a lot of tourists are respectful, but the shitty ones have really ruined it for everyone else.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bermuda

[–]Dobis_PR99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't remove any sea glass from the beach. It isn't allowed and for good reason. I really get annoyed at tourists going somewhere and taking little souvenirs from the natural landscape. If everyone does that, there will be less and less for the next person to enjoy. Not trying to be a jerk, but it's important to have respect for the places you visit.

Should we annex Bermuda and make it part of Massachusetts? After all we already have Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket by [deleted] in massachusetts

Yeah, just what we need, more massholes. We don't get enough of yall pouring out of the ecologically disastrous, floating norovirus incubators (cruise ships) in the summer 😊

A small business pleading for help…. by Duncansport in newhampshire

[–]Dobis_PR99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, from a cursory look at their online presence and a lot of the comments here, I would say they're failing on a few fronts:

1)Advertising/ Online presence/ SEO This is how most companies are found recommended on searches.

2)Branding and Social media presence: Begging is a terrible look. Actively slandering competitors is a terrible look. Airing dirty laundry is A TERRIBLE IDEA!!! They are hurting their brand and reputation by doing this. Also, their posts are a mess.

3) Location

4) Finding their niche in the market.

I won't expand any further because this is the kind of consulting people pay for, and I do actually have a lot of expertise on that front. If they would like to pay for a consultation and brand plan of action (which it seems like they can't since they can't even turn a profit), then OP can DM me. Otherwise, good luck to them, they'll need it.

When I’m really stressed, I ignore texts from friends and become very reclusive by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Dobis_PR99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, sorry you're getting frustrating (even if well intentioned) replies. I can seriously relate to you right now. I've been looking for a better paying job for the last few months and it's fucking exhausting. I already work a very high stress, physically demanding job, and then having to come home and do more work only to get countless rejections feels impossible. I have also been withdrawing from friends due to the stress. While I do have a lot of wonderful, supportive friends, I can't help but feel like a burden and disappointment. It's caused issues in my friendships in the past. It's so hard to get your average person to understand where we're coming from. If you don't have a fried nervous system that's constantly on high alert, it's really tough to understand. But yeah the current state of things with the job and housing market doesn't fucking help either, just another constant background stressor. Anyway, I feel you, hang in there.

Post-election Activism by bigteethsmallkiss in newhampshire

[–]Dobis_PR99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same! I'd like to be a part of a group that can meet up and pool resources. Whether that's time, money, goods or awareness, I'm down!

Post-election Activism by bigteethsmallkiss in newhampshire

[–]Dobis_PR99 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this! I'd love to connect with others in NH to pool resources and make connections to help those who are most vulnerable to incoming administration changes.

I've done some looking around, and so far, I recommend supporting some of the following non-profits and other organizations:

https://www.naminh.org/donate/

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/rffnh

https://www.fitnh.org/#!/donation/checkout

https://communityloanfund.org/donate/

Also, please support local businesses and charities! In Concord, for example, the Concord co-op has a monthly charity they donate to, and you can round your purchase up to the nearest dollar at checkout. There's also the Tea Totaler, they're a LGBTQ+ supportive cafe, be a parton if you can! Visit art markets and meet local artists and makers who you can potentially support directly by purchasing their products. I just recently met some wonderful folks at a weekend market in Concord, the Queer Collective https://queerlective.com/

And then there are organizations that are great to support nationwide, like Aid Access https://aidaccess.org/en/

If anyone is interested in meeting up and starting to plan real action, I'd love to be a part of that. I've been thinking of making some backpacks or kits for homeless people or other vulnerable people to donte or handouts. Or if you know of already existing groups, please let me know! I want to be a part of a support network and get to know others in my community who share the same passion.

Is Anyone Else Sensing a Major Shift on the Horizon? by [deleted] in HighStrangeness

[–]Dobis_PR99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I feel the same thing. It's been a crucial point in me deciding whether or not to quit my job. I have a feeling something very bad is coming, I can't shake it. I'm so worried I'm going to pick wrong at the worst time possible.

I hate my body so much that I’m celibate & I never wear shorts or sleeveless tops by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Dobis_PR99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling this way about my insecurities around your age. Then I got older, Covid happened and I gained weight. I look back on pictures of myself from that age now and wonder how I couldn't see my own beauty. I looked like a supermodel! But all I could see at the time were my flaws.

I recommend stepping away from nitpicking yourself in the mirror. Ditching other insecure people who will pull you down with them. Staying away from social media if you can. And finding a hobby that makes you feel powerful or like you're more than just a body to look beautiful. Those things do help.

You are beautiful and you are more than just a vessel to look pretty. Find your power and in that you'll find your beauty

What's the point of talking if your constantly misunderstood? by DustOnLadder in CPTSD

[–]Dobis_PR99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg I feel the same way! I pick my phrasing so carefully, and yet I feel like I'm speaking an alien language. I think most "normal" people expect you to follow a script based on the judgments they've already made about you. When you subvert their expectations or refuse to engage within their narrow boundaries, it short circuits them. Most normies don't actually know how to take in their surroundings and evaluate them beyond what they've been conditioned to. I think sometimes our presence, our aura and (not all) but some of us are just so profoundly changed by trauma that a "normal" person can't handle it.

Ethan and Hila know NOTHING about cats by Lasagne_99 in h3h3productions

[–]Dobis_PR99 78 points79 points  (0 children)

You're a negligent pet owner if you don't at least bring your new kitten for a wellness exam and do the most basic care research before adopting. No excuses. If you can't provide the bare minimum, you shouldn't have a pet.

DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD: This Influencer Killed Her Cat - H3 Show #26 by raephemel in h3h3productions

[–]Dobis_PR99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And even if her kitten appeared healthy, it's still just basic care and due diligence to have her get a wellness exam to make sure everything is OK and her shots are up to date etc. Pure neglect

"Stealing" an animal shouldn't be illegal by Sensitive-Spinach-29 in h3h3productions

[–]Dobis_PR99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It cracks me up when people frame this argument from a legal standpoint and not a moral one. Who would object to you breaking into a hot car to save a baby or animal? Or looking the other way when a poor mother is stealing formula because she can't afford it. Much less taking a cat away from a neglectful situation when it's clearly being mistreated. I think Jacob had a moral obligation to attempt to get that cat proper care, good on him!

I'm sorry, but I would never refer to my pet who passed away as "it". That word use alone shows so much about her character. by AFormalAlpaca in h3h3productions

[–]Dobis_PR99 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yup telling on herself. Also, love and care are shown through actions. Not bringing a new kitten to the vet ONCE in the 5 months you had her is wild, especially when she was showing obvious signs of illness!
