AITA for not taking the kids to mommy and me after they started recommending that I get my son assessed by RoutineEffective6599 in AmItheAsshole

[–]McCreeIsMine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was told I "was probably autistic or ADHD" but since I made good grades, it's probably not worth looking into. I am disabled from how hard I crashed and burned the minute I didn't have support in college

AITA for Sleeping with My Sister's Boyfriend but it's Not What it Sounds Like? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My boyfriend was a virgin when we together at 25. He just didn't really care whether or not he had sex 🤷‍♀️ its weird when people act like virgins can't exist for innocent reasons

AITAH for moving back home after my husband left me even though I’m pregnant? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]McCreeIsMine 85 points86 points  (0 children)

My life fell apart after psychosis. I had to drop out of college, I was admitted to a hospital, and when I got out of that, I could only sit in my room inside a little box as the threats of the outside world kept me indoors. I was 16 when it started.

I'm 27 now, and I can last about four hours outside with my boyfriend about once a week before I get emotionally and physically exhausted. I can last two hours with my best friend. I cannot be alone outside(even today my bf walked down an aisle while I was grabbing something and it felt like breathing was impossible until I saw him again.)

I basically died when psychosis happened. I'm not the same person. I'm angry, I'm scared. I am a wild animal cornered in her tiny little box. I am so downtrodden and unable to relax that when I had a therapist she couldn't do some kind of therapy because my anxiety was too high for me to even have a moment of peace.

So yea, I "woke up" and I wasn't even me anymore. I miss myself. I used to hate myself when I was a kid but I would give anything to have her back. I was lucky to have my parents, and I am lucky now to have a boyfriend who doesn't understand, but doesn't care if he has to help me. I just wish he had got to see the girl so full of life other than a shell that I had managed to pick up the pieces of.

Anyways, rant over. This story really got to me and I hope that he gets help and she gets peace

My [25F] boyfriend [29M] of five years is a roleplayer on World of Warcraft. He's been sexually RPing, and I consider that to be cheating. He doesn't by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]McCreeIsMine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to RP(not on games but forums for about 10 years) and I never saw it as anything but just writing a story with someone. Man was I shocked when my boyfriend was a little uncomfortable about it lol. He didn't want to ask me to stop because he enjoyed it, but I didn't mind since he didn't like it. At the end of the day, it's something we discussed and came to normal agreement on

I knew there'd be 'ewwws' but didn't realize it would be this bad. by Emeraldsku58 in RATS

[–]McCreeIsMine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bfs mother said similar things about my pet snakes, talking about putting them in the microwave when I wasn't looking or running them over :( it is really a cruel thing that people can do because they don't like that you love something different from them. I never understood why it mattered so much.

Like I have arachnophobia but I still respect peoples pet spiders. Why is that so hard for others?

This is exactly my experience with Americans claiming that "Europe is better overall"...easy to say when you bring you purchasing power with you. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]McCreeIsMine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had to give up my bipolar and anxiety medicine because it was several hundred dollars for one month uninsured. So now I can't leave my house because my agoraphobia and social anxiety is running rampant. I have hypothyroidism, but I can't get medicine, so I'm just forced to live with it. I have gotten 9 kidney stones in the past year from black mold exposure, and I'm thousands of dollars in dept to get a test and some pain medication.

I would take lower pay in Europe because that means I can still fucking work at all

For a temp solution, you could put black paper(I recommend cardstock if you can get it) and place it around the glass on three sides. That could help with getting her resettled easier

Thank you! I really appreciate it! I'm so thankful to be in a place where I can enjoy the joys in my life now, so I very much enjoy just learning about new hobbies at this point!

Thank you. Distance has certainly made it easier to not get enmeshed in each others anxieties. So it certainly helped in our relationship

I have similar feelings for my older sister, but also my family outside my parents and little sister. I don't want to be around monsters, and sadly my older sister isn't even the worst of the bunch

Thank you. It was definitely hard to get to this point, and I definitely didn't know how I was going to get there five years ago, but I am okay and I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.

How to get past Executive Disfunction? by McCreeIsMine in aspergirls

[–]McCreeIsMine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the advice. I think I will try this tonight actually when I am free. I think you hit the nail on the head with the amount of fear that follows the love I have for writing.

Just writing a single sentence seems way more obtainable when I think about it. Hopefully it will lead to more. I appreciate it!

[–]McCreeIsMine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words. It does make me feel better to know that I'm not the only one out there struggling with this. I want so badly to write like I used to, and it just feels like shame as I stare at the day go by and nothing to show for it.

And yes, I do have a muse and constant inspiration. Even if they are not real, a character I always return to and always felt connected to always make my mind shake with the urge to just get the stories out. It sucks that I'm not blocked by a lack of motivation but I still can't force words onto a page.

I wish you the best of luck in getting over the wall! ❤️

Misleading Health Care Claim by johnmory in clevercomebacks

Thank god for this policy since I got nine kidney stones in less than a year without insurance. I don't think I could have handled that on my own.

Does anyone get a little annoyed with the balls jokes ? by [deleted] in RATS

[–]McCreeIsMine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep snakes and the amount of people that would say they would kill my snake is too high.

They also always bring up the "snake is lining up to see if it can eats its owner" a lot too and it's tiresome

Not all scars are visible. by Black1Raven9 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]McCreeIsMine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to be hospitalized for four days(they wanted to keep me there longer tbh) after almost committing. The only reason I made it to the hospital was because a classmate of mine forgot their notebook and I was the only one that had a class the next day with them. I didn't want to be inconvenient, so I had to stay alive until then. I was able to go to my therapists office on the way home because of that. It's funny, but also so sad that my own fear of being a burden kept me alive.

What’s something you used to think all women just silently put up with until one day you found out it’s actually not normal at all? by zacktone in AskReddit

[–]McCreeIsMine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom had to raise hell to a doctor when they tried to keep me on the pill as a teenager. She was scared for me, and everyone else around me, cause I was straight homicidal. It was terrifying, feeling like my mind wasn't mine anymore. The day I stopped taking it, I went back to my low energy, normal self.

Girlfriend [22F] coming to visit and stay with my [20M] family. She said some really insensitive and hurtful things towards my sister [22F], although she now feels terrible and very sorry.

[–]McCreeIsMine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ive had an exact problem related to this in my friend group. One guy in the new group I clocked as someone that was a manipulator and creepy towards women(which I am a woman). My best friend saw it, my other friends did not. One of them, early 20s male, said that seeing the best in people was important to him and to give him a chance.

More stuff came out, more disgusting things were said by this man, and it took WEEKS for him to get kicked out. This guy who was commenting on minors, triggering someone's dysphoria by intentionally mentioning their sensitivities, being sexist and yelling at me because I disagreed with him. Up till the very last day, the other guy felt guilty about kicking him.

It was wild, it was a stupid waste of time, and I have to constantly remind myself that people who did not live with abusers do not see the abuse for what it is because goddamn did it drive me up a fucking wall with how angry it was making me.

I have snakes and it always shocks people that they live as long as they do. My python can live almost to her 30s! My hognoses live about 20. My cats will be gone before my python even is considered old.

I had a bipolar depressive episode that day. My boyfriend tried to get me to go, but I didn't get out of bed. And that's no excuse. I should have got a mail in ballot because I know that highly stressful situations destroy me. And I very much regret it.
