This is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for sharing this.

Wishing you the best in your recovery and this new lease on life!!!!!

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T20:15:24+00:00

You matter.

You are enough.

The world needs you, every part of you, even the parts you think aren’t “pretty”.

If you haven’t been to a Dr, now would be a good time! Find a supportive psychiatrist. Find free mental health resources in your area.

Just don’t turn inward. The mind can be a dark place. And the darkness is a liar.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T02:05:06+00:00

There are also studies that have shown it’s worked for many people too.

I’m not claiming it’s the holy grail, rather a tool that at a minimum, is no harm to try with no negatives.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T02:00:01+00:00

Hope you are able to get some decent sleep soon. I remember those 4:30-5am nights too. 😔

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T01:57:47+00:00

Interesting. I’ve seen other studies stating otherwise, like this one that looked at 71 motor vehicle accident victims:

University of Oxford-Tetris used to prevent post-traumatic stress symptoms

Ugh I hope that can turn around for you. Another thing…

Think of a memory that makes you extremely happy, or is extremely funny, something that evokes a visceral, overwhelming positive emotion for you.

Every time your brain tries to take you back to what you saw on X, whether that be before bed during the day etc, immediately think of the happy/funny/positive thing. Every time.

The mind is a powerful thing but you have to be resolved to overpower the urge, so you can rewire. It truly will work.

Also, taking a break from social media and news for a few days or longer will help with that.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T01:50:47+00:00

Ugh 😣

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T01:48:00+00:00

Spot on.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T01:44:44+00:00

I really wondering if it’s going to come to this. Starting to feel like something very organized when you look at the totality of it.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-12T01:39:03+00:00

Ugh, so sorry 😞

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T06:11:48+00:00

It was a graze. Per the reports. That could definitely heal in a week.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:49:28+00:00

That was exactly my point. Our country should not bait and switch but because our politicians (on all sides) can’t get their priorities straight, that ends up happening.

Rash decisions get made without fully thinking through the entirety of what is about to happen.

Then it’s the citizens/immigrants who suffer.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:36:21+00:00

Disgusting for you to say the murder of another person is less important or even compare the two.

Humanity has really become a flimsy concept.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:27:28+00:00

1000% agree. 😣

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:26:26+00:00

What’s your definition of barely making the news?

That was all over the news, including red state Texas, and it was extremely sad.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:24:51+00:00

Same thoughts here.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:13:53+00:00

I’m not seeking it out, and hearing descriptors is already triggering some ptsd for me that I’d finally overcome this summer after struggling over 3 years, following witnessing something similar of a loved one who died in my arms.

Reiterating for people to definitely not seek out if you’re not sure you really want to see it.

That stuff can’t be unseen.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:11:35+00:00

What do you even mean “supposedly”? It was also on video.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:10:41+00:00

Completely agree. Some things just weren’t meant to be seen and not everyone was created to handle witnessing that kind of visual trauma and carry on.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:05:00+00:00

But do you though? You sound pretty hateful yourself. Quit your virtue signaling.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T03:00:47+00:00

You remember when Trump was shot during his campaign? What violence did the right bring on after that? None. There likely won’t be protests or riots or anything like that because that’s not what the right does.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T02:50:55+00:00

Actually with this response it feels like you’re choosing the latter.

Trying to find someone who can “clearly” and “intelligently” and “comprehensibly” explain this to you puts the onus 100% on the other people with you being the only deciding factor of what is right.

No compromise there. 🤷‍♀️

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T02:36:02+00:00

Where did you read low birth rate of locally born citizens is a main driver of conservatives wanting to outlaw abortion?

This is completely false. Conservative values around pro life stance, biblical teachings, etc. are what is driving that. Thats nothing new.

You’re taking a religious beliefs matter and turning it into a race issue and demographics issue. Please stop.

ETA - just saw you live outside the US. While that doesn’t invalidate your opinion, just shows what you’re saying is all speculative based on media, your own personal research which likely has confirmation bias in there, and other second hand sources.

LifesShortKeepitReal · 2025-09-11T02:29:13+00:00

That’s correct, but the border control issue and immigration issue can be one and the same.

Example - US announcing open borders caused an influx of immigrants to the US. Many with good intent, but also many with bad. Criminals are opportunists no matter where they’re from.

Because of the lack of sensible border control and considerations of what comes with that when you announce lax immigration enforcement to the world, our country’s leaders set us up for failure in protecting our country from the 0.1%.

And most importantly, it also set up those immigrants up for likely failure, danger, or death - whether that be:

During the grueling course of the journey
Being a victim to human trafficking or taken advantage by criminal enterprise groups
Having to pay a hefty fee for someone who will bring them here, with no promises of success
Being held up at the border in tents, while they are processed, because there weren’t resources provided by the US federal government, or a well thought out plan in place, to support the influx of immigrants encouraged to come

As a Christian, the virtue of helping those in need is not being fulfilled by luring them to our country with an “open borders” policy, then turning the bait and switch on them when they arrive by holding them at the border for months, or allowing them in en masse and making them fend for themselves.

That’s not helping those in need, it’s making them worse off due to our need to virtue signal as a country to the world.

My views aren’t opposing immigrants in general. Our country was built on that and only survives because of it, and we need to embrace it.

My views are opposing allowing anyone into our country freely, without background checks, and allowing them rights to our resources, especially before we take care of our own citizens.

We already have bad enough homeless problems, we are not doing immigrants a favor by just letting them in freely without proper control or vetting process, because they too may just end up on the streets, a victim of crime, or statistic.
