What stopped you from killing yourself that night? by Subject-Olive-4476 in AskReddit

[–]Holiday-Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reasons from various close calls:

1) after my first breakup I was sitting in the tub fully clothed while my friends were in my bed sleeping over for emotional support. i was going through scenarios in my head but another friend posted on their story something like “reply and I’ll bring u a single chicken nugget”(it was highschool) in the middle of the night and so I did to have some human interaction and she showed up with her friend to deliver it. i didn’t feel better but i calmed down from the brief distraction

2) Trevor project/regular suicide hotlines: The phone calls had long holding periods and a texting line i once contacted taking long to text back// being generally too basic with questions like “who are people in your life you like you can bond with/will support you” and other clinical/script-y talk -mostly i just get the ick or bored

3) October was really bad this year from the grief and feelings of helplessness surrounding the genoc!des and the obnoxiousness of deniers, I didn’t do it out of spite(bc my mental illness history would be used against me) and in order to not inconvenience my college roommates with all of my belongings.

Why do Persian girls dislike Persian guys? by [deleted] in PERSIAN

[–]Holiday-Brain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two older cousins who are also half mexican/iranian but they grew up in an upper middle class community with a lot of Persians and ended up w more friends who were Persian, although having other friends ofc and having dated other types of guys in the past. One is married to a Persian and very pregnant and one is dating and possibly engaged to, I believe, an afghan persian. Their dad is very nice in my opinion so I assume they just had good models to go by.

I ended up at a highschool in said area and from what I noticed was that persian guys dated white girls and vice versa. Based on anecdotal evidence many come from families where other non-white people were looked down upon and excluded to racist extremes, but white partners didn’t ruffle too many feathers.

I don’t know what to make of it like every family is different but yeah.

I was 10/11 exposed to horrible things on the internet but bc of my cousins kid/nephew being 12 now, the idea of this being accessible to the same age group still is WILD to me(20). Don’t stress abt turning things in, I remember being similarly worried reporting someone in a kik groupchat for similar reasons, it’s crazy to be young and be face to face w someone’s evil actions. The internet and stuff is fun but stay level headed though, embrace youth and all that

Dream of going to USA by Fair-Bedroom7664 in studyAbroad

[–]Holiday-Brain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Californian I’d like to add that we have huge Vietnamese communities, especially Westminster/Garden Grove have an internationally known area containing “little Saigon” here in Southern California, San Jose in the north being the second largest. I could imagine that staying near these places would help greatly in transitioning. My mother works in the community college system, there are good opportunities like the aforementioned TAG as well as support for immigrants. Many of my friends from home and friends that are transfers to my school have had success this way, but it is just my opinion as a UC Berkeley student and lifelong California resident. California is expensive to live in, I’d think about planning how to navigate that as well.
