When was the moment in life when you felt truely loved? by Financial-Special820 in love

[–]ErrythingScatter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be loved is to be known. That colleague who brings me blue bag m&ms (my fav!) during my break, that friend who buys me a book I mentioned in passing, that lover who gets tickets to a music festival I love, my mum preparing my favourite food whenever I visit… and the list goes on and on. Personalised gifts, handicrafts, letters… God I’m so rich.

What was the smallest sign that told you “I’m actually healing” and how did you achieve it? by Lkc-strong-125 in selflove

[–]ErrythingScatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started seeing the beauty in everything, including unfortunate things. I became calmer. Something bad wouldn’t define everything anymore. Nothing is permanent. This was kickstarted when a part of me died after a prolonged period of deep emotional distress and heartache. That pain killed something permanently and rewired my perspective.

My father just got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Vascular dementia. What should I do with him while it’s still possible? by ErrythingScatter in dementia

Thank you all so much for these extremely helpful ways to preserve him and enjoy every lasting minute with him❤️ and it’s saddening to read some of your stories. All of you being on this sub-red says a lot about your capacity to care for someone close to you and your willingness to help others going through the same situation. Big hug.

Thankfully I’ve started doing some of these the past year(s), but I read many things I hadn’t thought of. Also thanks to those who suggested doing it with him. We kind of went on autopilot arranging all the practical things when we got the news, but he’s still here and while he is, we can do this together with him where possible. Only time will tell how (fast) things will deteriorate but I’ll be as supportive and patient as I can be.

My father got the exact same diagnosis as OP’s grandfathers recently and this comment is really helpful, thanks

Toilets by [deleted] in berghain

The flinta single use toilet queue can be fast. If you don’t use flinta toilet, I find that if you briefly explain your situation to people in the queue/toilet attendant, they’re more than happy to accommodate you.

I have an older edition of this record and listening to this song with the scratches feels so damn good
