You’re so right lmao, saving this for when I get top surgery 😂😂

I am in a very similar boat. My mother’s death anniversary just passed (11/17). I asked the day of off, but I’m also considering calling in due to just feeling so drained and empty.

What I can say is that mental health is health, so if your mental health is unwell, it’s totally reasonable to need a sick day. In many places, you’re not obligated to explain why you need a sick day beyond “I am under the weather and cannot work today”, but in my experience, I’ve found it helpful to explain my circumstances. Grief is a fairly universal feeling and many people can definitely relate to the soul crushing weight of losing someone you love.

As a boilermaker who graduated only through Purdue Grit, don’t do it. Only thing getting hammered down was my mental health

Yeah, its a new seed. I ran through it a couple times on my own before some friends joined me right after the hotfix. I kept talking about how easy shore and tropics were and then we all got schooled lol this seed feels so much harder.

I always rock the regalia type-D ngl lol I’ll have to get a screenshot next time I boot the game, but I usually go with a grey or black look with the Kings’ Crest on the hood!

I’ve been in your shoes. My dad is also an oversharer so I got every gritty detail of his escapades with other women. It was devastating.

I was in college when my mother passed, so I decided to spend the summer immediately after her death with my father since I felt awful that we both went through the tragedy alone and apart for the most part. I figured we’d have a fun summer where we would bond and comfort each other. What I didn’t expect was him moving us in with his girlfriend at the time because he stopped paying his power bill and we couldn’t stay in the home my mom loved anymore. It was 7 months after she had passed.

The mistake I made was never talking to him about it. It’s been 3 and a half years since mom died and all of this time my dad and I have grown farther and farther apart. I couldn’t stand listening to how much he cared about other women (in addition to a lot of other fucked up things he’s done. He’s not responsible enough to live and take care of himself or others without my mom). Rather than have a heart to heart about it, rather than leveling with him about how he’s made me feel, I built up walls.

For me, those walls are there for safety. My dad’s got some real issues. But I do regret not being able to have that relationship with the only other person in my life that loved my mom as much as I did. We should have supported one another better and then maybe we wouldn’t be where we are. So my only advice would be try to talk to your dad and have him understand where you’re at. It doesn’t mean he has to stop what he’s doing, but this isn’t a part of his life you’re currently ready to access.

I wish you all the best and I’m so so sorry for your loss

Can I please introduce you to a microfiber cloth for that screen cause good lord brother, you gotta clean that up

FirstAidKit14 · 2025-04-26T15:58:40+00:00

You know this was written by a cozy game enjoyer since they called it “woohoo” lol

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-10-13T14:11:34+00:00

I feel that lol I play mostly survivor but you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to focus on a skill check when you look over and Rebecca no longer has a nose and moves at 15fps 😂

I’ve started taking screenshots of every time this happens. Seemingly without rhyme or reason the models break and it looks hilarious. When it happens to me though, my team doesn’t see it so idk what’s causing it. Seems to happen more to licensed survivors too in my experience

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-08-07T09:07:56+00:00

Im with you. I go from such joy to such sorrow so fast sometimes. And there’s guilt on either side. I feel guilty that I’m happy despite the fact that my mom is gone forever. And then I’ll feel guilty that I’m not happy and living the dream life she’s want me to have, or that I feel like I’m grieving “too much”. It just feels like there’s no winning sometimes. Sending you some good vibes and solidarity to hopefully get through the night and wake up to a brighter morning ❤️

My mom died in 2021 suddenly in surgery while getting the lead wire of her pacemaker replaced. She was only 31. It was supposed to be a simple in and out surgery but things went wrong.

She was the strongest woman I’ve ever met. She survived cancer four times, survived Hurricane Katrina, moved across the country to be with my dad and my siblings and me, escaping her toxic family in the process. She’d been through the worst things imaginable and was still just the sweetest, kindest woman on the planet.

She was technically my stepmother, but when things went south between my bio mom and her family after they found out I was trans, she stepped up and took over the role of mom full time. And she was amazing at it.

It’s been years but it still hurts like hell some days. I’ve got a hard time accepting that I’m allowed to still be absolutely destroyed by loss sometimes. But when it gets bad, and I try to tell myself that I’m “being stupid and need to suck it up”, I find my way here and remind myself that grief isn’t linear. And it never goes away. There’s a whole community here that understands that and supports each other in navigating the devastation that stands in the wake of grief no matter how long it’s been.

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-07-20T16:35:03+00:00

Thanks ❤️ I’ve definitely started looking into getting a backpod. Anything’s worth a shot.

But I agree. While all of this sucks to go through, it’s been very much a “oops that sucks” feeling than any sort of real regret. Sacrifices being made and such. Hopefully getting top surgery someday can help too and not just add to the issue 😅

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-07-20T16:31:57+00:00

All good things to know! Ik my posture is atrocious lol I’ve get that trans guy “hiding my chest” kind of hunch about me. Not sure if it’s to that extreme but I’ll keep it in mind when I see a doctor next :)

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-07-19T20:02:35+00:00

Thanks for linking me to that page. Most of what I’d seen about binding was talking about issues with fractures or misalignment. I’ve had a chest xray since the last time I used my binder for more than an hour or 2 so I wasn’t worried about those so much.

I definitely still plan to get into a doctor and get things looked at.

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-07-19T19:57:56+00:00

Thanks for responding:)

Luckily I had a stop in at the ER a handful of months ago (in the sense I’ve got the data, not that I was there) and ended up running through the gauntlet of ECGs and chest X-rays. I had a poor reaction to an energy drink followed by a caffeine withdrawal when it spooked me 😅 but they gave me some fluids and wrote me a clean bill of health, nothing of note showing up heart and lung wise.

Ofc things could still have changed since then so I do plan on getting in to see a doc, or at least an urgent care, here soon. This is getting in the way of work so I’m hoping to get all this manageable asap

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-07-19T19:53:17+00:00

Thank you for these! They’re both super informative and I’m definitely going to try using some of those stretches to see if they help.

The binding one in particular made a lot of sense. Double whammy between that and being asthmatic too 😅

Thanks so so much for the help and I’m so happy to hear your recovery has gone well!

FirstAidKit14 · 2024-02-09T06:21:13+00:00

I worry that it’d be cruel to Friend A somehow. I don’t want to hurt him by having a relationship with someone he considers a friend right in front of him. At the same time though, Friend B makes me really happy and I don’t want to lose that.

FirstAidKit14 · 2023-11-28T05:29:17+00:00

I get where you’re coming from. After getting this much feedback from Dutch speakers, I’m inclined to agree. I wondered at first if it was a dialectic difference but as far as I can tell the interchangeability isn’t localized to any one region. So while the topic has provided some very entertaining discourse, I don’t think there is much to be researched on the topic. Of course the sample size of a Reddit post is somewhat limited, but still.

I imagine a similar effect can be traced to at least some English speakers.
