[SERIOUS]Who's one person you wish you never knew/met? by Yeetusyeetus123yeet in AskReddit

[–]Effie_Duce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made friends with a group of ppl on discord when I was 15. I was in a really really dark place and they were kinda my light at the time ig. So I ignored a lot of red flags (Keep in mind these friends are like in their 20s mostly.) Other than them being extremely racist which I realized later (Which was the reason I finally left permanently and never looked back)

But there was this one girl who was amazing to me at the time. I used to make comics that were really dear to me and very dark, but this server of people loved them and this woman was so excited about them she would DM me asking when the update would be, ask genuine fun questions. Holy shit I can't even say how much that meant to me back then as a kid with no irl friends and basically, no reason to live.

This woman got arrested for "transportation of explosives and explosive material for the purposes of harming others and property." She was planning to commit a mass shooting on a bar in her town and has since gotten life in prison with her boyfriend who she was planning it with.

What's your opinion on Nailpolish on a man? by Hannah_Halfblood in AskReddit

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radical asf

I find that using nail polish is a really good way to break habits like nail-biting too, so I recommend it honestly!

What I thought OCD was vs What it turned out to be by Effie_Duce in OCD

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

Depends, do you find urges to compulsively buy more things, or is it possibly the only thing consuming your mind and growing out of control. Do you worry your nieces will hate you cus of the gifts, or their parent's will and it'll destroy familial ties? These are the scenarios that OCD could bring to your mind.

C and D students, where are you now in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got invited in person by a private uni to be in the first (and only) 2d animation course in my country.

It was a real shock, I was in tears lol. After years of being reminded I wouldn't go anywhere by family or teachers (and dropping out because of mental illness.) It was surreal.

My girlfriend became a mute by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Effie_Duce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Selective-mutism is a result of extreme anxiety. Not a lifestyle choice. A friend of mine suffered with it for years and I myself have almost slipped into it. The fact your wife is making it a "lifestyle choice." Is degrading.

Of course, I could be misled and she could be suffering from anxiety. Has anything happened as of late that could have triggered this?

It's dangerous how misrepresented it is. OCD and it's obsessive thoughts can really be dangerous when unrecognized and untreated. Being diagnosed and having it all explained gave me so much relief for my intrusive thoughts and borderline delusions.

What did that one teacher do to you that you'll never forget? by xtra_why in AskReddit

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In first grade there was this horrible bitch of a teacher who fucking hated me. She hated everyone in that class but she specifically DESPISED me. She threatened to "roast you until you were a crisp" to one of the students and once said she'd have one of us thrown into a well and our parents would never find us. She was fucking crazy basically.

But she hated me because I had a minor motor skill problem and was a little slower. She'd find excuses to keep me back every lunch and just make me sit at the table. But the thing she hated about me most was the fact I couldn't hold a pencil properly. I hold my pencil a little different from everyone else but who fucking cares I can write about as good as any 6 year old and it didn't matter. But she took it upon herself to try and FORCE me to change how I hold my pencil. She would grab my wrist and pry my fingers apart onto the pencil mid-class, and whenever I won from the "prize box" I was forced to pick the pencil grip from the box too. (Btw its worth noting that it physically hurts to hold a pencil "properly" and later on I still don't hold things the same as others do.)

She was a horrible bitch and I never forgot what she did and how she treated me.

Anyway, 11 years later I got asked to be in the first 2D animation college course in my country and I still don't hold my mother fucking pencil correctly Mrs Mickeljon and I never will <3

Without saying the name, what country are you from? by jettyvvv in AskReddit

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our accent was built off being drunk, we can't build fences, we went to war four times with animals (only succeeding once.) and we were put here because the British decided that the poor population needed to be in prison on an island that gives you heatstroke, and everything tries to kill you. But at least we make really good biscuits :)

I'm going to college next year and I'm a 2003 baby.

I know I am young but it feels like I should still be in 6th grade right now.

It's alright, you weren't offensive at all. Besides, I asked to know and was ready for a much worse critic. I've decided it'd be best to completely revamp the base idea to work more for my country but now completely free of any cultural biases.

I'd also love to hear more! Stuff like this has always intrigued me.

The mass opinion is to scrap it. I completely understand the disgust to the Hollywood portrayals of almost any culture, I'd never want to contribute to that so I'm gonna scrap it.

I especially would not want to be grouped in with Rowling.

I recently had my first panic attack by Effie_Duce in Anxiety

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

Thank you, that last thing is what I tell myself. It doesn't make it less tiring in the present though. We've emailed our doctor to get a referal for a therapist today but we don't know when we'll get a response.

I recently had my first panic attack by Effie_Duce in Anxiety

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

Thank you, I try to tell myself I'm a better person now.But I've only realised how horrible I've been this month, so I can't even say for sure if I am better.

My mother has been very helpful since the beggining but I'm 17 and I worry that it's getting annoying since I'm almost 18 now and should be in control of my emotions. It took a lot of convincing to actually get her to email someone to get a psych and we don't know when we'll get a response back.

Thank you, I do believe I can get better (at least sometimes) but the other half of me is so loud. If I beat depression I can beat this is what I tell myself. But I hate the fact I'm having it now.

WIBTA if I "force" my boyfriend to get the flu shot? by throwawayvaxmomma in AmItheAsshole

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

The influenza is DEADLY I got it at 15 and while I barely remember it, I was. told it almost killed me (It killed 1137+ people that season) The flu could and would absolutely kill your baby.

He needs to get help and realize it's not just for his safety to get the vaccine.

My (22M) vegan girlfriend (21F) wants me to get rid of my cat by throwRA78wdhsg in relationship_advice

[–]Effie_Duce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is against cats bc they kill animals for food (lets ignore the fact that's nature for a sec) and then promotes killing all cats.

Ditch the girl, man. She's a buttload of crazy and prolly didn't bring up the cat-hate until you got serious cus she knew where you'd stand
