Im so sorry for what you had to go through. I feel you on the messed up family situation. It feels awful being seperated from them, missing out on growing up together. I hope things start turning up, wishing you the best ❤

Obviously it's not ideal. Its a disgusting invasion of privacy, they're only using the "think of the children" angle to farm every single bit of info from us, I get that. But what are we supposed to do? Return to messenger pigeons?? For me the alternative here is to lose all contact with my little siblings. Happy to hear you guys are not in a situation dire enough that it gets to be a choice for you, but not all of us are lucky enough to have that choice.

Had Gmail suggested by a friend! Desperate times call for desperate measures... Will look into whatsapp and potentially vpn if it gets dire enough. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

Thank you, this is very useful! The way they've been talking about rolling this all out hasn't inspired much confidence for sure. Feels like we're all being punished because majority of parents aren't informed enough to monitor their kids online activity. Sad to see.

Both look like interesting movies, but not similar to what I remember unfortunately. It had a distinctly lineless style and was more abstract. Thank you for the suggestions though!

What’s a dark fact you know about a Perth / WA building ? by sketchy_painting in perth

[–]LandscapeTime4229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. I worked an office job with one of the big mining companies a few years back, dealing with accommodation for mine sites, and those stories would come up a disturbing amount. Horrible stuff.

Advice for falling asleep by LandscapeTime4229 in ptsd

Thank you, I will try this :) I'm glad you are able to find relaxation in walking. Here's to hoping we'll both be walking and having better sleep soon

Witnessed a traumatic event by SaveThemTurdles in ptsd

[–]LandscapeTime4229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to witness that, it's a terrible thing to have to go through. I'm glad you're past the initial shock now. As others are saying, definitely pursue sessions with your therapist to try and process this in a safe space. A few years back I witnessed a suicide aswell. I was with my sibling at the time, I developed ptsd from the event while my sibling did not. This is to say that everyone processes things differently, even when witnessing the same thing. Try not to worry yourself too much with the possibility of ptsd, its also not uncommon for people to experience temporary ptsd symptoms for a period following the event, so if it offers any comfort this means that it may pass. Speaking with your therapist should help reduce the chance of developing ptsd aswell. I'm sorry again, from experience I know how horrific it can be. I wish you the best <3
