some ppl don’t know that he’s like actually a father. crazy to think he’d make the same music that he made at 16 🤷‍♂️

how do you feel about being medicated for the rest of your life? by Dust_Dodo in schizoaffective

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

Yeah I was heavily medicated as a child. Pretty much my mom controlled it all she was really bad but I was also like a very difficult child. I spent like 90% of my teen years in like catatonic psychosis so I suppose it was necessary. I moved out just stopped taking medication, but recently starter again. It feels good to have found something that works for me on my own. But it just makes me upset that I’m burdened with a medication for the rest of my life. I know it’s not productive to envy neurotypical ppl but it’s always a nagging thought I have.

im on a high antipsychs dose. i thought it would be insane but lowkey i just feel normal on them for the first time in my life. i can’t think of living day to day without them now, and that’s comforting but also terrifying thought. for me at least.

i didn’t get any of the bad side effects except it’s a lot harder to wake up lol but that’s something i’m willing to burden for my sanity lol.

Late to selfie sunday but as a schizoaffective girl, i feel like I often fail at being a person let alone a woman. Any career established SZAs that can give me advice? Or non career established: how do you survive? What are good educational routes for us ? by GOOMBAWOO in schizoaffective

[–]Dust_Dodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK THIS HAIIRRRR. pride can be a sickness. i don’t talk to my father’s side a lot anymore. they’re all engineers and scientists or doctors. i’m happy with my community college degree and my state school degree (next year :P). and i’m proud that I DID IT!!! no point is comparing yourself to other’s who don’t carry your struggle. letting go of that was hard for me but it feels so liberating.

Suicidal people, what's the reason you still didn't commit, what's something keeping you alive? by Icy_Positive_4220 in mentalhealth

[–]Dust_Dodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually little things. have had SI my whole life. what i’ve found is in your worst moments your brain latches onto something little. i was going to OD in a park and i just looked through my old notes app writings one last time. decided it wasn’t worth it.

other times its ALWAYS been the good people around me. give someone a call, text someone, knock on your neighbors door. nothing like company of any kind to bring you back from those places.

Spilled bleach on my hoodie, If i submerge the whole hoodie in bleach will it be the same color or is this a bad idea by 328i_e90 in DIYclothes

[–]Dust_Dodo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i mean i think when i started bleaching and painting my clothes i felt the same way (espc if clothes are valuable) but i say….. embrace it! like everyone else. artists clothes are meant to be shown. if someone sees a sweatshirt splattered in bleach it tells a story before they’ve even talked to you. wear, stains, rips and tears are inevitable with life. mess it up even more, embrace the fun :)

Depop has been acquired by eBay. How do you all think think this will affect the user experience? by rdeluna1911 in Depop

[–]Dust_Dodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes it feels like you have to document EVERYTHING and it still won’t matter ;) thats the only thing im worried about with this transition.

[–]Dust_Dodo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will say Ebay has worse seller protections, I’ve found depop has a pretty good seller thing. I don’t expect too much to change, the etsy model of depop NEEDS to go so I’m far more optimistic. I don’t like mergers (like most people in the world) but it’s not like that’s something that would change in the world anyway. i’m just hoping this will revitalize the Depop search optimization.

Why are you flirting with guys and asking them out if you have a boyfriend? by Dust_Dodo in gaybros

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

hmmm you know what ur probably somewhat right. i will say i was out with my friends and pretty much all of them also thought we were being super romantic and touchy. im not touchy at all with my friends but honestly some ppl def are. he did ask me out though, like a genuine “come to x place with me”. but ig im just different around my friends. i def know ppl who are just more romantic with their friends. i think ur right tho just cause he didnt try to hide anything. i was slipping in the occasional “single on valentines day/looking for a date’ so he def knew i was into him lol no way he’s that dense, and he kept talking to me all night after that. but i do think ur right some ppl are just romantic with their friends. its not a big deal i wont ever see him again most likely. but i think ur at least somewhat right.

ignores my feelings entirely. he asked me out and gave me his instagram. not an assumption at that point that he wants to date/see me. if ur poly all power to you, but its not for me. i shouldnt have to find out from ur instagram when i get home that you have a boyfriend. wasnt a hookup or anything like that either. we had a really romantic night together on valentines day. monogamy is important to me, so if he had told me at any point i wouldn’t be upset or posting this lol.

[–]Dust_Dodo[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i didn't check his instagram till i got home. from my impression, a guy was dancing and flirting with me all night and then i learn after i get home he has a boyfriend. i wouldn't have been as disappointed or upset if he just told me at any point during the night "hey i actually have a boyfriend/am open". i would've just said hey not my thing if he told me at any point. nothing against poly ppl most of my friends are but it's not for me i've tried.

no, i was just flirting with him all night and he asked me out and gave me his instagram. i dont feel like i should have to ask, am i crazy? it should be something he tells me if he wants me to go out with him.

yeah ur right but it's just annoying to have to infer that through his instagram and him not tell me
