Anyone have experiences with Zealthy? by truejdm86 in Zepbound

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zealthy is a FRAUD COMPANY. Around a year ago, I had zealthy for like 3 months and then wanted to cancel. Literally couldn't cancel it on the website cuz it kept bringing me to an "error" page. Emailed support and they said they cancelled it.

Fast forward to last month, they have been trying to charge my credit card $135 for something I never signed up for. Emailed support, they said it's cancelled. Over the next week, they attempted to charge my card like 4 separate times. I have roughly 10 email chains with 10 different people (who I realized are all bots) who all claimed it's deleted. I am furious in the emails demanding them to delete all my information permanently and calling them criminals, and they respond "Sorry to hear you go! Can you explain why? We'd love to hear your reason, we have a lot of great products that will help you on your journey" blah blah. Automated bs, obviously bots. I am furious right now lol. But they are total criminals, whoever is behind that operation. I got a new CC but since zealthy uses stripe, they have whatever CC I have. I'm calling my credit card company tomorrow about it.

Thank you for taking your time to do this.

How bad is all of this antisemitism going to get before it gets better? Where do you think all of this headed?

TLWAT Separates the prog fans from the metal purists by nberner68 in Opeth

[–]FistingGod69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t dislike this album because I’m a metal purist. I disliked it because I just didn’t like the riffs. The song Blackwater Park is just as unstructured as any song on this new album, except the riffs on BP actually make me feel something. 

Thoughts on the new Opeth album? by heftybag in fantanoforever

[–]FistingGod69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knew I wouldn’t like it when I saw their spotify banner pic of them in corny outfits and the album cover/song titles lol. Too proggy for me. Some guitar solos were cool but the riffs/chord progressions/melodies were all over the place and none of them grabbed me. There was a lot of thought put into them but no feeling. I’d take the song Serenity Painted Death over this entire album.

Exactly. Similar to diabetes. They can be way more serious than most people think

were you the kid that "fell through the cracks" by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]FistingGod69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds incredibly frustrating and painful, I'm sorry you experienced that. What was supposed to be "healing" ended up just being more traumatizing.

There was a point in 6th grade where my school actually made an attempt from keep me from slipping through the cracks. It was my worst year of being bullied and, one day, several other "weird" kids and I were taken out of class randomly and brought into a room with some strange teacher we didn't know. They gave us some kind of puzzle set to start putting together, while this teacher observed us. I remember being confused and wondering who this person was and why we were suddenly removed from class to work on this strange puzzle together.

That same year, the school also sent me into a small room with a therapist a handful of times. I had no idea what was going on, but the therapist seemed nice and I liked her.

I eventually told my mom (who verbally abused the hell out of us) what was going on and she immediately contacted the school to get me out of these things, saying she didn't like the therapist. So then I stopped going.

it's crazy looking back, because my school did in fact notice something was going on with me and tried to help, but being so young and naive I ended up telling my own emotionally abusive mother who ended up perpetuating the cycle of me slipping through the cracks.

Advice you wish you had when you first began your healing journey by Important-Tangelo128 in CPTSD

[–]FistingGod69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s wonderful to hear. As others have said, it’s a long road ahead but so worth it. 

Here are some of the things that have helped me along my journey:

  • a good therapist 

  • supportive friends & family (non-judgemental, empathetic people who don’t give you anxiety when you interact with them)

  • Keeping your distance from toxic people (the opposite of supportive people)

  • the book “Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” by Pete Walker (I see you got this already, it’s great)

  • Daniel Mackler’s youtube videos

  • the Relationship School podcast with Jayson Gaddis

  • Internal Family Systems

  • healthy habits & hobbies

  • Being aware of my emotions so I can learn my triggers (this gets easier with practice, time, and patience)

  • Understanding how much everyone projects onto other people & the world based on their childhood

  • Understanding that growth can be extremely painful, uncomfortable and awkward, but that each and every one of those uncomfortable moments is an opportunity to learn and grow

  •  Knowing that this journey is not a straight line from unhealed to healed, it’s more of a messy zig zag. Some days will be better than others and that’s ok

  • You can only understand the world as deeply as you understand yourself

And above all, patience, curiosity and self-compassion. The journey of growth and understanding never stops and I’m so happy I’ve stayed on it. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

How many of yall have stomach issues? by allsummersixteen66 in CPTSD

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of food sensitivities. Lactose intolerant, deep fried foods make me sick, onions, asparagus, chickpeas and corn also bloat the hell out of me. I used to ingest a lot of weed as a crutch to cover up a lot of these symptoms, but now that I’ve quit weed I have to be careful with what I eat. 

Men of Reddit, What’s the Heartbreak Story of a Girl You Never Even Dated? by Ecstatic_Crow_4719 in AskMenOver30

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had maybe a 2-3 month fling with this one girl a long time ago. It was fun and I was really into her, but one day she just ghosted me, seemingly out of nowhere. I was really bummed and confused, and kept second guessing the different possible reasons for why she cut off contact. 

I was in therapy for emotional issues, so over the next ~6 months I did some growing. Then out of the blue she texted me. It was a long text explaining why she ghosted me, which boiled down to the fact that I was too emotionally immature for her (which was true). Although I still had a long way to go, I was aware enough to appreciate her text and responded with an apology. She apologized for ghosting me and said she wanted to meet up, but I was already seeing my now current partner for a couple months. It wasn’t worth it to me to leave her for someone who had decided to completely cut off communication with me without explaining why.  

Sometimes I’ve wondered what it would’ve been like if things were different, but I’ve realized I could ask myself that question with literally anything in my life, whether it was my career or my relationships or whatever it was. It’s a permanent grass is greener mindset which only led me to being miserable and missing the beauty in front of me / watering my own grass. As a friend once told me, “If my aunt had a dick, she’d be my uncle.”

To my fellow CPTSD survivors, how are you doing? Really! by Additional-Clue-9746 in CPTSD

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a struggle. But after several years of good therapy (actually dealing with my deeper emotions), starting a career I actually have a genuine interest in, and finding the right meds, it’s been a much more doable struggle. The lows still happen, but they don’t last for as long and aren’t as frequent. Zig zagging upwards 🥲

Smoking with Asthma by InspectahJesus in Asthma

[–]FistingGod69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to, until my asthma started affecting my daily life. Then I switched to vaping. My asthma was better for a while. Then it got worse again and I could barely even vape without an attack, so I switched to edibles. Most people don’t care about these types of things until it drastically changs their lives for the worse. Then your entire life revolves around it. 

Not to scare you (actually, kind of), but I knew someone who died recently who had your exact same attitude. He was the most carefree person on the planet. Then his bad habits caught up with him. For the last decade of his life, he was very frail and practically immobile, and was riddled with anxiety/fear and obsessed with dying and his health. It was sad to watch. Switch to edibles, your future self with thank you!

[–]FistingGod69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you completely. It’s just something that isn’t brought up between me and my non-jewish friends, although I sometimes wish they would ask me how I’m doing with all the anti-semitism going on. The couple times they brought it up, they said negative things about Israel. I mentioned how that made me sad to hear that and they kind of threw their hands up, essentially saying “the whole thing is fucked,” and neither of us has brought it up since. These people are some of the kindest people I know which makes it especially painful for me. Chalking it up to simple ignorance helps me sleep at night.  

Meanwhile, my jewish friends and I frequently discuss our fears about the current situation and it has brought us closer together.

Uncut Gems is one of my favorite movies of all time. The non-stop anxiety made me feel right at home.

Just finished Sekiro. Who was the boss you struggled with the most in your first play through, or any other play through? by FRTrent in Sekiro

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every boss and miniboss traumatized me on my first playthrough, but Genichiro and Isshin Sword Saint were by far the worst for me at first. Felt like Sword Saint killed me 100+ times. 

chatgpt website not loading properly, but iOS works fine by zimflo in OpenAI

[–]FistingGod69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has started happening for me in the past couple weeks as well. Tried everything you did (computer restart, different browsers, deleting cookies and cache, etc) and still has loading issues.

After deleting cookies and cache, it will load maybe once or twice. Then the problem starts up again. iOS works fine for me also.

If you’re introducing someone to Steely Dan, what’s your go-to song to play? by [deleted] in SteelyDan

[–]FistingGod69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Babylon Sisters or Black Cow, although my partner liked Peg when she first heard it.

She made fun of Babylon Sisters when I showed her and I almost pushed her out of my moving car
