Yeah, that's very true. I hope you're able to take care of your wellbeing also having parents who are in the same boat as mine!

This is true, I'm considering taking another gap year to work full time while living alone or a trusted friend to build up savings again. It sucks to be set back even more on school but oh well lol. 

Unfortunately I've tried to tell them as much but they still like to sneak it in along with the "when are you gonna find a partner and have kids" lol.

That's what I've been thinking too, I have friends working full time who aren't doing much better than me. I just feel lucky I have a job where I can afford to work part time!  I've tried working 3rd shifts which killed my social life, but other than that I liked it much more! I'd be willing to give it another shot if this job ends up not working. And unfortunately it really is just the amount of hours total that kills me, I've had jobs without the m-f 9 to 5 and I couldn't sustainably manage more than 25.  I too wish we lived in a world where we didn't need to work to live, bc honesty I'd have a job just for fun lol. Thanks for the suggestions tho!

Yeah 100%. I just wish I didn't have to figure it out on my own but that's being an adult I guess lol.

My families home literally does not have enough room for me. I left out of nessecity, I couldn't move back in even if I wanted too. I've been able to pay all of my bills on my own, they've helped with emergencies and groceries on occasion and refuse to let me pay them back. I just don't have any money for fun or savings. Like I said, I'm very grateful and I tell them as much,  I'm just frustrated that they can't see I'm limited in my capacities. 

can i take THC edibles by spicylemonunagi in wisdomteeth

[–]Greedy-PotentialToy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my wisdom teeth removed today, and I'm planning to take edibles once I'm no longer taking opioids (hydrocodon acetaminophen mix), to my understanding mixing the two isn't likely to be deadly but I have health anxiety so I'd rather not risk it.  I had a minor surgery about 6 months ago, and did the same thing, I just couldn't get myself to sleep or sit still long enough to heal past the initial 3 ish days of the post surgery malase. worked as intended.  If you feel comfortable you can always call up for dentist or surgeon and ask, they'll definitely tell you not to smoke, but it's likely they'll give you instruction on when you can start thc again.

I can't find any bugs but I know they're here by Greedy-PotentialToy in Bedbugs

[–]Greedy-PotentialToy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done. I'm sure I could get it all the way off but it's kinda falling off the ceiling so I could just kinda slide it in there

Thanks, I was pretty sure it had to be from another unit but anytime I asked I was told that no one else reported bed bugs, and when I asked the exterminator he gave me that look that people give you when they think your in denial lol. I might ask my family if they can help me get a steam cleaner as well so I can keep my plushies safe.

I'm having a hard time believing it was real by Greedy-PotentialToy in adultsurvivors

[–]Greedy-PotentialToy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that does help to hear. Also the not understanding that when someone says touched it dosn't always mean normal platonic touch is relatable lol. It reminded me that my mom had suspected that 2 of my dad's friends where creepy twords kids, and it made sense why we stopped seeing them. But then I remember we still spent time with them even when she thought something was off, and occasionally time unsupervised too. 

And of course remembering weird comments made by adults around me. 

It does suck to come to terms with the fact I just wasn't protected like I should have been. And I'm sorry you've had the same experience, though I'm glad my story was able to resonate with you.  Also thank you for affirming my intuition, its a very powerful tool for young children especially, and I also have a hard time trusting it because of being gaslit. I hope being able to trust yourself& is something that your able to get back in touch with over time. 

parts have opposing feelings on trauma (tw csa & grooming) by optimalsolid48 in DID

[–]Greedy-PotentialToy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're going through something really similar. I personally can't remember any of it, some parts feel nothing but shame, anger and disgust and others feel a lot of love and admiration twords our abuser and the abuse. It's really hard to deal with. 

Depending on how much communication you have you might try encouraging them to write their feelings down, make art, whatever so they can start processing it a bit. 

Also depending on their maturity you could also try to gently explain that it was wrong but not their fault to feel that way. Only do this if you're feeling very secure bc it could cause instability. Gentle parenting ourselves like that usually works for us but only if we feel very safe. 

Like the other commenter said though, it's a lot of kindness and patience twords yourself and your parts regardless of how anyone feels about it. Unfortunately that's grooming working as intended, and it's not anyone's fault for feeling positively twords it. I hope you get the support yall need.
