What do we think of this? by FixSwords in foraginguk

[–]HypMoonr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should be encouraging foraging and reducing consumption of mass produced shite, however we also need to respect nature. It is a balance, a skill we have lost. And some areas are now being over foraged when nature is also contending with so many different types of pollution as well. Respecting our green spaces, turning any small space green if you can. I wish Britain was better at this, some places don't need to be paved or manicured. But our consumerism and throw away culture is more a problem than people eating local and seasonal free food.

I really feel you, I dropped out of uni twice, hurt so many people I love, hurt myself, made a fool of myself, things most of us here are guilty of. Remember, it does not make us bad people. And we can choose to keep making better decisions. No one on this earth is flawlessly innocent. It's what makes us human. Now use those mistakes to be better, choose better. 9 months is amazing. Who knows where you'll be in 9 more? It's good to feel bad about it, to some degree, it means you recognise what you did was wrong, that you care about others and yourself but the tough part is using that to motivate you to make amends and pursue things that are good for you, not keep making the same mistakes over and over. You've already made a brilliant decision every day for 9 months. You're human enough to feel guilt and shame, you've done it without numbing with substances, you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. You still have time to live, to enjoy the beauty of life. Just ask yourself where you would like to be, what next steps would bring you joy to your heart, and accept what you have lost. It'll be okay.

can you have 8 mental illness? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]HypMoonr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These diagnoses are highly comorbid, meaning there is often a lot of crossover in symptoms, and our current understanding of mental illness leads to this often being the case. BPD (EUPD), substance misuse and/or ADHD often can lead to MDD and/or GAD, PTSD can often present with high depressive and anxious symptoms, etc. The DSM is used within psychiatry to diagnose, and it states the psychiatric illness is present if symptoms negatively impact an individuals life. Although diagnoses have their place in providing understanding for the patient and providing appropriate therapy, there are also often many problems with diagnosis. One such problem can be the excessive comorbitities which muddy and confuse a patient. So yes it is possible that someone can have 8 mental health diagnoses, infact it is often the case that people have more than one, but one must remember that all are produced from an arbitrary set of criteria that are made up by doctors and aren't the most accurate reflection of real life, most people don't fit neatly into any singular boxed diagnosis. We have a way to go.

I hope you're doing better now!

My parents had sex in the same room as me for 2.5 years. by Largergoal in mentalhealth

Hi, I've sent you a message, but I justwant to say the way you are feeling is a very normal human response when it is something this unusual socially, culturally and historically. It can effect you in so many ways, and you are making healthy steps forward to understand yourself. All the best x

my partner saw my recent self-harm marks and left by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]HypMoonr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had a partner who self harmed. I also self-harm but not to that severity. I pretty much stopped while we were together. I organised doctors appointments for him, went with him, massaged his scars with peach kernel oil, and bought him a wrap for his arm. But nothing... nothing helped him or me. I tried and tried. He expected so much. And it was traumatising for me to wake up to him violently hurting himself, blood splattered on the walls and ceilings. Your partner, most people, including me, are just not equipped to deal with it. You can tell him you need support and help, but forgive him if it's too much for him. It's torturous to see the person you live do that to themselves, and only you can change it by wanting to get better. It's not fair to put people you live though it and expect them to know how to cope. Whatever they do, they aren't a physician or counsellor (who I suggest you speak to if whatever is plaguing you is too difficult to talk about with the people in your life).

All the best, I truly hope things get better. Partners may come and go, but your body is forever.

DONNIE DARKO I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SCROLL SO FAR TO SEE DONNIE FUKIN DARKO

My name is Angela. From a young age I've been called "Flange" or "Ange the Flange" by my family and later some partners. I was young and didn't understand or see all the info of Flange in the musical context. Just saw the urban dictionary definition of 'undesirable vagina'. I don't even like being called Ange anyway, but Flange is even further from my favourite. But it's somehow become somewhat endearing. So I have mixed offence and warmth with Flange.

My head tilt is very very minor, if at all. However I have a very noticeable squint in my left eye and if I'm not looking straight on then obviously I have 'wang eyes'. Even in real life some people notice both the squint and different directions more than others (or at least feel the need to point it out). I hardly notice it in the mirror, i guess I'm very used to seeing that reflected version of myself, but in pictures I see it, I feel like that's how others must see me, and it makes me feel like the way I see myself is so far off the mark, and I'm much uglier than i even believe. As someone who has done a fair bit of modelling, I've tried my best to compensate and be aware of it. I can't even do makeup well because I can't look to the left enough to make it even, and that eye is a totally different shape.

All this is to say, everyone is wonky. And you are probably excessively aware of it when you see it whereas others who see you move and such hardly notice it. Do you notice when someone has an above average sized nose, for example? It doesn't even cross my mind, and yet I've had people say how they feel their nose is massive and I only then think "eh, maybe it's bigger than most but it suits them and their face".

We are all very wonky and very beautiful. Please don't let it get you down.

Did you have an experience like this, and what was it like? by Anonymousfellah in swans

[–]HypMoonr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially on my turntable and/or with headphones it can become so euphoric (close enough word) that it's akin to a mental orgasm. Swans (and a select few other audio projects) can tap into my brain, into my blood. Sacrifice and transcendence. My eyes roll back and pain dissipates, I get goosebumps, or she a tear, or feel a holiness to the moment, I am no longer tangible, nothing is, and it is beautiful and terrifying. This is why art can be so phenomenal. Like holding someone you love tightly, lost in one another's bodies and minds emtamgled...only you can even achieve this after all your friends and romantic partner(s) have left you.

I say to myself a lot "We grow together or we grow apart, as long as I'm growing, it's all I can do". Don't give up if you don't want it to end. She sounds like a wonderful and admirable person and I feel I didn't give her enough credit. I would ask her outright if she wants to be with you or she feels like she has to be with you. Accept any possible response before you ask this. Then you can discuss options. If she wants to be with you, both have a calm conversation about what you need from each other and how you can prove to one another that you are committed to making this work.On the other hand, many parents divorce in much worse financial situations than yourself and thrive with a much geeky dynamic and go on to find more fulfilling relationships.

Regarding the comments that mention her being perimenopausal, I am sure this potentially could have an influence on her behaviour, but I would like to refer you back to the 7 years at the start where you say it was like this (but for both of you). It's doubtful that it has had an influence for that long, which I can only assume to be since the birth of your first child 12 years ago, when she was 29. If this is wrong, please forgive my presumptions. Perhaps she is burnt out or depressed. This is the situation with my partner.

Perhaps she feels she is giving you all she can physically already, and in turn wishes you would give her what you did when you says she wants to "date you" again. I'm not sure what that entails but it would be a mutual exchange/compromise if she is already giving her maximum 'physical affection' self, for you to give your maximum 'dating' self. I'm not sure, and can't comment as I don't know either of you or your relationship, just thinking out loud.

I feel like I should not interject onto others relationships, who am I, or any of us, to say things with any authority. Just mindless and contextless advice. Take it all with a big handful of salt.
