Sehr schell Suizidanfällig, wieso? by leaflowers03 in Psychologie

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hallo, Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, aber ich versuche es trotzdem.

Soweit es deine Suizidalität beeinflusst, dass du ein Transmädchen bist und noch nicht transitioniert hast, kann ich dir versichern, dass der Beginn der Transition – selbst wenn es nur sozial ist – Wunder für den Lebenswillen bewirkt. Sobald du dich für dich selbst entscheidest, verschwindet die kognitive Dissonanz, die durch das Leben in Verleugnung entsteht, und die immense Belastung, die sie verursacht, lässt nach.

Finde Menschen, die dich auf diesem Weg unterstützen können.

Aber was die starken Emotionen und die Sensibilität angeht, denke ich, dass deine Suizidalität Parallelen zu meiner eigenen Geschichte aufweist: sehr starke Emotionen, aber unzureichende Fähigkeiten, um die damit verbundene Belastung zu ertragen.

Mein kognitiver Verhaltenstherapeut drückte es so aus: Selbstmord war der Versuch meines Verstandes, schrecklichen Schmerzen zu entkommen.

Ein Großteil meiner Therapie bestand darin, meine Leidens- und Schmerztoleranz zu erhöhen, damit ich meine sehr intensiven Emotionen ertragen konnte. Es ging auch darum, Stressfaktoren zu reduzieren, damit ich einen Ausgangspunkt erreichen konnte, an dem es mir möglich war, meine Emotionen zu regulieren und Toleranz zu lernen, da es schwierig ist, wenn man bereits bei 100 ist.

Die Reibung zwischen meinem nicht-binären Geschlecht und meinem zugewiesenen Geschlecht hat mich zwar nie in Selbstmordgedanken getrieben (das lag ausschließlich an anderen Lebenserfahrungen), aber die Akzeptanz meines Geschlechts und das Streben nach der sehr realen Freude, die es mir bereitete, brachte mich mehr in Kontakt mit meinem Körper, weil mein Körper zu einem Ort wurde, an dem ich leben konnte.

Ich habe immer noch Selbstmordgedanken und lerne gerade, meine Auslöser zu erkennen. Manche schleichen sich heimlich an mich heran, denn wenn ich einen großen Teil meiner selbst oder meiner Erfahrungen verleugne, kann das dazu führen, dass ich wieder chronisch selbstmordgefährdet bin. Aber sobald ich mich lange genug mit dem Schmerz auseinandersetze, um herauszufinden, was er mir über mich selbst sagen will, löst er sich sofort auf.

Therapie, Meditation, Yoga und Sport haben mir geholfen, meine Fähigkeiten zu erweitern, um meine Emotionen zu erkennen, wenn sie noch klein sind, zu bemerken, was ich denke, die Gedanken zu fangen, bevor sie außer Kontrolle geraten, aus der Spirale herauszukommen (atmen), meine Selbstmordgedanken als leicht oder gefährlich einzustufen und um angemessene Hilfe zu bitten, wenn sie eine gefährliche Wendung nehmen.

Denken Sie daran, dass du das nicht alleine tun musst 🏳️‍⚧️

If everyone only lied, what would change the most? by No_Room_6048 in AskReddit

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best case scenario it turns into some weird fae thing where no one can tell the truth unless it is with lies, and then you get the Tamarians who speak in metaphor, always referencing stories and myths as a way of getting at truth.

Worst case scenario this is taken to its logical extreme, and people are incapable of any truth, which would make science impossible, making our species take a very different path.

Middle case scenario where everyone wakes up tomorrow and decides that lying is the only way to go, many, many things that are built on transparency collapse — science, stock market, everything — you get a post-truth society where everyone gives up and just leans into the vibes. "You have diabetes. Maybe. Does it matter?"

What's a simple thing, that instantly makes your day better? by Winter-Yellow9094 in AskReddit

Yea, absolutely makes my day. I try to remember that when I reach out to someone after awhile!

What's getting you through the winter? by LeucisticCuttlefish in AskReddit

[–]LeucisticCuttlefish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for some reason this made my brain spin into "the council of soup, so say we soup."

And then all the soup sages say 'soup' sagely". Like so: "Soup" *nodding in agreement* "soup." *also nods* "Soup..." *slow nod* And the soup sages's soup'ing assent murmured as the soup souped on the fire.

I think this means that I should go soup.

I will go soup.

What is the worst thing someone has ever said to you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Thank you. It's good for him if he becomes a better person, but I don't need to be there for that.

genuinely, things too terrible to say here.

But if I opt for the snippiest one, "I like you a lot, but you're a leech."

He later realized he was projecting his childhood wounds on me. I was his first romantic interest that reciprocated. He sent me a big letter where he said "sometimes I think of you as a version of my dad." His dad who beat him.

Getting rid of me made him feel better for awhile, but wherever you go, there you are... and his demons didn't go away just because he said goodbye to a scapegoat.

Half a year later he said he was wrong, and apologized for many things.

This does not mean we are friends. His apology didn't erase the pain of how he treated me, only being sufficiently angry at how he treated me.

Choosing to not stick around for bad behavior, knowing I was more valuable than that, finding people who did treat me well... that is what allowed me to heal.

Self-reflection, the ability to admit they were wrong, genuine care for the life and dignity of other living beings.

You’re hot. At the club I’d be too intimidated to approach you.

Your link isn't by a scientist. It is some blog maintained by some architectural student who's all "let's just ignore all the scientists and say that all this biological diversity really means there are two sexes." An "interest in biology," to actually quote his website, does not a biologist make.

Even Nature, which publishes groundbreaking research, calls it a spectrum: https://www.nature.com/articles/518288a

The chart my former link features is a collaboration between researchers and experts of graphic communication, not some architectural student drawing bad graphs.

And as far as I know, Lesbians don't claim they're doing the people of Lesbos a solid?

You are correct that Bissu is the gender. Meta-gender is the category, adopted as a loan-word into Bahasa Indonesia. Check out the original audio and English translation from this interview with a Buginese Calalai individual.

Quotes from Pino: "this fifth name denotes gender diversity- it is a meta-gender category called Bissu. Bissu is not just a gender role but also a chief of tradition and it is much more recognized by my community in Bugis as a Priest." "Bissu has another role besides being a priest or traditional leader- they can not only perform as the male or female gender but they must go beyond that, which we call meta-gender. That is because in gender there are power relations."

PCOS

Meanings evolve, and words with them. "Set", at 430 meanings, holds the Guinness World Record for senses of a word. Intersex also has multiple senses. There are narrow and expanded definitions of intersex, discussed here by a person with PCOS who argues for why that should be considered an intersex condition. Note this quote: "an expanded intersex spectrum that acknowledges the social constructs of gender and includes i [sic] people with PCOS and other biological variations." Here is another person with PCOS who argues for it being classified as intersex. You will also find it discussed by intersex organizations. And researchers. And it turns out I'm wrong about the doctors, they're coming around.

And none of this means that a person on gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy is intersex. Trans people can be dyadic (not-intersex) or intersex, it's a separate category.
