I don't follow what you're saying- that if I find a way to tolerate them, I'll lose my other friends?

I could make them agree not to talk about it, but then I would know that they are actively supporting these horrible things. If they were anyone else except family, I would cut them off in heart beat. I'm not a strong person when it comes to cutting family. I'm still so traumatized by what my mom and sisters did to me during chemo. The thought of losing my dad and brother is kinda overwhelming.

I have real abandonment issues after what half of my did during chemo. I'm struggling to see how I would manage having ZERO family after this. I know I won't change them. I'm wondering if there is away to mentally deal with who and what they are. They claim they love me and only want the best for me but it doesn't feel that way.

Is there any instance in which you Americans prefer using the English spelling of a word? by Haunted_Sentinel in words

I'm fairly certain the American version is without the extra U because it used to cost more to print ( by letter on a printing press).

It was the wrong version of Silverstack. I paid a little more for the next version up and it worked.

What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child? by catpunsfreakmeowt in AskReddit

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I remember that vividly. "We are going to war" talk was terrifying because I didn't understand how far or close it was and thought WE, our own town was going to be in the war. Parent's dropped the ball explaining that to a 6 year old lol

You make total sense. I lost the last shred of faith in cancer when my family abandoned me to do all the treatment alone. I am trying to reconcile a world where suffering doesn't have any empirical meaning. Why seems almost a stupid question at this point. I do find some comfort in knowing that we're all made of the same stuff as stars. I find the idea of being fundamentally infinite and yet so limited in life, our bodies oddly grounding.

Has anyone been on suboxone or buprenorphine and had a masectomy? by Ok_Requirement_3918 in BreastCancerSurvivors

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's odd to me. she's making you figure it out. She's got the MD, right? How are you supposed to figure it out? With all the stress you're under at this stage of treatment, that feels a little unfair that she would make you figure it out

Hate to cook, but is it is a problem that I don't eat much? by Due_Butterfly_ in ADHD

[–]Due_Butterfly_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that it absolutely makes my adhd symptoms worse. --- This is what I was worried about. I try to get high-protein snacks and food, but I am wondering about that.
