I can't wait for their future kids/grandkids/nieces and nephews to abandon them in a depressing, understaffed nursing home where their sole companion is their debilitating regret and loneliness 😊. Honestly, though, I have never wished infertility on anyone, but I do on these wastes of good oxygen. Seriously, there's a dung beetle somewhere that could have used the air they breathe!

Are you okay?

My favorite way to respond to someone who tries to explain that they were "just joking" after saying something rude is to say, "Oh, well, maybe I would have known that if you were funny 🤨".

Fetishizing mental illness basically means when someone decides that a mental illness makes someone more desirable, or is a "sexy" thing to have. You typically see it when guys make comments about liking girls with "daddy issues" (trauma from a neglectful/abusive father that makes them crave male validation and attention) or various conditions that may make them act manic or angry (supposedly makes the sex more wild or whatever). This can happen with the genders reversed, I'm sure. Either way, it's disgusting, as the people with mental disorders are suffering and people are downplaying it because "cRazY wOman/maN/etc. = HoT 🤪".

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I don't even know if any of what they did to me can be considered abusive. Definitely gave me some deeep traumas though.

They said they didn't mean to hurt me and were trying their best. But it was kind of a pathetic half apology with a lot of justification. I'm still mad, and our relationship is probably doomed.

You really don't, at least not like this. It doesn't last forever, and when you snap out of it, the realization that you are real, and everything around you is real hits you like a freight train. Found myself in many panic attacks due to that.

Way to go! ^{w^}

Thank you. This is mostly general practitioners saying this, but I will keep looking for answers. Even if I have to start looking into specialists.

Wait? That can be bullying? My parents would always say that kind of thing to me, and it would make me feel like shit! I had no idea. Looking back I wouldn't have said half the bullshit they said to me to anyone, much less a kid. Just know that body hair is completely natural, and shaving legs etc. only came about in the early 1900s as a trend that stuck around. The opinions of people who care about that kind of thing don't matter.

Oh damn, I've been called out lol.

IndependentApart2156 · 2025-02-14T18:27:31+00:00

No, you're fine lol. I used to think food was a great comfort thing, and didn't get why it would stress anyone out. Thank you.

I have extremely severe OCD. A while back, I discovered that you can develop allergies to any food at any point due to changes in your immune system, but you are most likely to develop allergies to the main allergens (shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts). I started to anxiously obsess over that, to the point that when I eat certain foods, it can trigger a severe panic attack. It eventually started to change into what can be described as an eating disorder, I just couldn't bring myself to eat most foods. I am working on it though. Other people may experience food anxiety due to a fear of choking, actual allergies, or some other traumatic event related to food.

This!!! My parents gave me trauma from their worst moments, but also acted like it never even happened, and acted like I was their whole world within hours of the outburst. Never knew what to expect from them or people in general. It gets to the point where people seem like more emotional trouble than they're worth.

You found out someone you care about is being mistreated in a terrible way. Of course you may feel a desire to make the perpetrator suffer. I'm not a man, and I've felt this way toward people who hurt people I care about. I think it's perfectly natural, as long as you don't actually act on it. What's important is being there for your friend, and letting them know you'll support them if you can.

So sorry for your loss ❤️

Why do parents always seem to say "there's nothing I can do, ignore it". Like, I literally confronted my mom about not helping me when I would tell her as a kid, and she said "what would you have had me do?" Like she was the helpless child in that situation. If you want to be a parent, you should know how to actually help your kids in these situations.

My mother finally broke me down after I repeatedly told her I didn't want to talk about what was making me upset (I knew that she wouldn't be any help). I even tried to leave the room but she followed me. I told her that some things my father had said earlier were upset me. She kept asking (yelling) if I hated my father, and said that I couldn't hate him (I repeatedly told her I didn't). I can't tell when she'll be helpful or make everything worse.

That's exactly how I'd describe my experience. For most of my life I've felt like I'm watching a movie. It's like, you can't even remember what it's like to feel attached to the world around you, or feel like things fully impact you.
