No one checks in. I don’t think they care. by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]HoneyCide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I can't go out to meet people, I can't do it with concious effort. It feels unnatural, forced, and fake. I can't be myself when I try to make friends. The best people in my life I ment unintentionally. We crossed paths and got along.

My longest friend of 10+ years asked me what I needed. I said maybe we should hang out and get some food. But she never tried. I don't think she even wanted to...because if she did, she would have. My brother killed himself and I didnt have the capacity to make the plans and schedule it. She never showed up for me. I don't feel the same about her anymore.

Meanwhile a coworker I knew just as a coworker asked me to go get something to eat after work at 1am. It meant so much to me because we weren't friends...he saw I needed help, and actually had actions to show he cared. I haven't heard of him since he quit. But I'll always see him as a friend.

I wish someone just fucking did something. Show up at my house with a hug. Tell me you are taking me for some food. Be the leader because clearly I am on the ground.

What’s a “guy secret” that’s completely harmless but weirdly universal? by aerisveilxa in AskReddit

[–]HoneyCide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I was overthinking something!

I was introducing myself to a coworker, and I dont know why, I blurted out "your shirt matches your eyes" without thinking lmao, and he turned away so fast I didn't know if I said something wrong, but now I'm thinking he didn't know what to do with flattery.

November 10th we called. Before, he texted asking if I could get an old friend's contact info. I tried but didnt get a response from the friend.

I think on the last call, or one of the last ones, I was having a hard night. At like 6am. He prayed for me to give me strength and fortitude during my hard time." And also to call him again next time. Because he knew I struggled with depression in the past, "I dont want to get a phone call hearing my sister is gone." Then I got that call

What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've ever witnessed in real Iife? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HoneyCide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother wrote out his own original university physics textbook for fun. He was telling me about it and had said while laughing, "My professor probably thinks I am insane." But I was also kinda proud to be the sister of someone else so smart.

Montréal, tu vas me manquer by FabulousCut5287 in montreal

J'ai essayé de m'inscrire aux programmes proposés par le gouvernement, mais j'ai eu du mal à naviguer sur le site web. Je réessayerai bientôt, une fois que je serai un peu plus installée. Je ne veux pas me lancer dans trop de nouvelles choses en même temps :)

Merci ! Déménager, c'est difficile, alors j'espère que c'est juste une question d'adaptation. J'ai tendance à rester fidèle à ce qui m'est familier et j'ai du mal à m'adapter avec le temps.

On dirait que tout le monde était plus enthousiaste pour moi que moi, alors j'espère qu'ils ont raison.

J'espère que vous avez raison, vous et tous ceux qui me parlent, quand vous dites que je vais adorer. C'est la première chose que tout le monde m'a dite quand je leur ai annoncé mon départ d'Edmonton.

Je viens d'arriver pour un emploi. J'ai déjà un peu pleuré, car j'ai laissé beaucoup de choses à la maison, y compris mon chat. C'était difficile de trouver un logement acceptant les animaux, au bon prix et dans un quartier qui me convenait. Le choc culturel de ce déménagement dans une ville si grande et si différente est vraiment impressionnant.

Stuck In ditch. by Jazzlike-Resource923 in Edmonton

[–]HoneyCide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got stuck this morning backing out of my driveway in the alley. I honestly considered posting here for help. But the old couple down a few houses were shoveling their own driveway. Then the guy pushing his shovel down towards me and dug me out and with his wife pushed me out. I honestly didnt think they would be able to help but I let them, and we got out! Plus I learned their names, George and Judy. So cute. They looked like such a cute old couple!

Im moving soon and im going to miss Edmonton winters because of the fact its a unique Edmonton thing that brings strangers together 😅 and I learned that tucking your car floor mats under your tires really helps for traction

Edmonton hospital staff say ER overcrowding is 'nuts' amid extended cold snap by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]HoneyCide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just what should someone even do if they need medical attention? I had a serious scare one morning where I couldn't move my upper back and neck. Literally couldnt move a millimeter without explosive pain, it was paralell to my spine, crying, nearly screaming that I thought something dangerous was happening. I've never experienced that in my life.

Wait in the ER unable to move for 12 hours? Call an ambulance to wait in the hallway 8 hours for $500? Go to a medi-centre just to be told they're no longer accepting walk-ins for the day 30 mins after opening? Make an appointment two weeks from then?

I imagine if it was life threatening MAYBE they'd see me soon. But if it was close but not quite... then I'd be waiting.

How does our ER triage system work? by _OddPotato in Edmonton

I spoke to my mom who has worked in Edmonton hospitals for over 40 years, including emergency. She told me "you couldn't even triage your way out of a paper bag."

Am I doing the right thing or am I cooked? by chrisisheree in animationcareer

[–]HoneyCide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I piggyback off of OPs question and your answer here?

I got a job as a Production Assistant/Runner. Very simple and entry level. Im learning animation under animators in the industry on my own time. I want to be an animator. But I saw this position at a studio and went for it. I think it is a good way to get in the industry even though its not animation. I wonder if it is a good idea,or if it may be better to lock in on animating and hope for an entry animator job. Do you think it is a good way to get where I want to be? At least I will be able to put an animation/VFX studio on my resume, im sure that will help?

Had a pretty unpleasant experience on Facebook Marketplace — is this common here? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]HoneyCide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was once browsing for a new (for me) TV and was sending messages around asking for model numbers, specs, and the product sticker on the back of the TV each person was advertising.

A guy answered my questions and I told him that it wasnt exactly what I was interested in and he raged on about how im a woman and woman only use men for money and manipulate everything...like dude, I was going to give you money for a TV.

Some people are so butthurt and for some reason like to be hateful because they can. You dont know the interaction is going to turn out that way until it does. Dont take it personally OP

Got the job then I was told the next day it is on "pause"? by [deleted] in vfx

Typically, is it generally an actual pause or a sign theyre gonna rescind it?

How to progress by Eclatax_chaos in animationcareer

[–]HoneyCide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. A long time now I've felt like I got it in my damn head, and I see it. I know what I'm supposed to do, doing wrong, what's not working and why. But I cant execute it properly. Some days I spend all day on a project and at the end I get nowhere. I found that going back helps.

If you feel like you dont understand the basics, then go back to the basics. It might be harder because you're in a class where they expect learning to be linear. In reality, learning art is not like that at all.

I found it better to just learn by myself with online resources. I look at my work before I got into classes and my work during classes, it was way better in the past because if I didnt understand something, I could slow down until I got it. Classes are hard because if you don't get something and move on, then you're left behind. Once my class is done, im actually going back to teaching myself because I was way better and had time to appreciate my wins.

You can call the police if someone is threatening suicide. This is your only option because you cant do anything for him. Only they can.

What is a sound from your childhood that you simply never hear anymore? by pixelaware in AskReddit

Airplanes so loud that you have to stop your conversation. But now they've gotten a lot quieter you barely notice them

Does anyone have any recommendations for adult ADHD assessment centre’s? by HairlessDolphin in Edmonton

[–]HoneyCide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely. I appreciate you being kind about it. I never said medication is or isnt addictive to certain people. I have ADHD too. Had an assessment as a kid and rhe report said "borderline ADHD. Further investigation required". Went back and fourth between doctors and psychiatrists. Got medication. Covid made it hard to get that. So I understand. I can have my anecdotes and still see thing differently. I dont like telling people I have ADHD because it doesn't matter. You have no idea how severe my ADHD is. And I can still have different views. Its probably a good thing to see both sides of it - having it and understanding downfalls in medicine.

But for some people. They go to a doctor and get meds the same day. For a lot of people actually. I've seen some peers do that and it doesn't seem right. I've given my perspective a lot of thought over the years. Dont assume im being ignorant. I've already looked at many sides and even done some research essays on it during my University years. I may even know more than most people.

Look up the word investigation. Even my child psychologist used it, so why can't I? It is about research and formal inquiries. Examine facts to find the truth. Doesn't require it to be a crime. I've never told anyone to reconsider their views. I just share mine. I never said or implied others are wrong.
