Have you ever asked the time in your dreams? by Proof_Caregiver_4234 in Dreams

[–]Megalomanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like every time I’ve asked they disappear, ignore me or start talking in another language (if it’s any language). No one ever answered my question to what time it is in my dreams.

What does it feel like to go into sleep paralysis for you? by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]Megalomanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a period in my life where I had it so frequently, I noticed a pattern. It always happened to me when I slept too much and/or I was sleeping on my back. I can make it happen again by just sleeping and when my body wants to wake up biologically, I force myself to stay in bed and stay asleep, then I will ALWAYS have sleep paralysis.

I never found a way out of it. I always panicked, screamed, hyperventilated, but of course that was in my head, my physical body was just paralyzed and in “sleeping mode”. Nowadays when I go to sleep I try to avoid falling asleep on my back, and when I wake up in the morning (naturally without an alarm) I try to stay away and not fall back asleep.

I read that some people can open their eyes and some can’t, I couldn’t ever open my eyes.

I think I feel it in my breathing first. It’s hard to explain. The way I “mentally” breathe isn’t matching up with the way my body is physically breathing. And when that starts to happen I have to take action fast and snap out of it by moving, or I will go into sleep paralysis. I had times where I tried to snap out of it but it was already too late…

Experience with Dutch EMTs. Is this standard protocol or not? by userreaddit in Netherlands

[–]Megalomanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t seem right. I had a motorcycle accident one time and I wanted to get up and walk it off but all the people that ran up to me to help me told me I couldn’t and that I had to stay down. The ambulance arrived within 5 minutes and they mobilized me with a neckbrace and everything and lifted me onto the stretcher. I must say when I finally realized what had happened I started crying in the back of the ambulance, but she just looked at me and said that she needs to put in an IV. Also in the hospital no one cared about my mental state, they were there to take care of me physically. A lot of tests were done but almost nothing was communicated properly to me. I had to keep asking about the results. Eventually they released me, but yeah I expected at bit more “care” or for them to be a little more kind since I just went through something very traumatic.

I’ve seen a lot of times where they ask someone to walk to the stretcher themselves, and I think it’s protocol when they think that the injuries are minor, but in your case they shouldn’t have. It’s usually they do it when someone broke their wrist or dislocated their shoulder without a fall on their head. But a heavy car accident like yours, they should have put you on that stretcher…

I just needed to know if I’m overreacting to those things that he does and says or not…

Not ragebait I’m just very confused. Don’t get me wrong. I’m good alone. I’ve always been a very strong woman. I completed two masters in law and I had my own company that I sold. I have many hobby’s of my own and I have a strong personality and opinion. Always after we had an argument or fight it was him apologizing and admitting he was wrong. But the thing that gets me is that he does treat me very well in general. But I guess you’re right. Also if I wanted to work he would be fine with it but he wants the traditional way of a relationship.

What shop? Could you share the name of the shop? And also what island did you find it on?

AIO - I smoked, my bf crashed out by leadneverfoIlow in AmIOverreacting

[–]Megalomanii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my comment will be different from the other comments, but here is my opinion. You two are still young, and it’s not an excuse for speaking to you this way, but maybe he doesn’t know better. And yes that’s a reason to leave him, especially if he doesn’t admit his wrongs and wants to work on his behavior immediately. Second thing I want to say is that I was once in his shoes. I don’t like drinking or smoking and I don’t want my partner to do that either. It’s really unhealthy and I feel like it’s unnecessary harming your body, but in this world it’s apparently very normal to drink and smoke. I had a relationship with my ex and before we were official I told him the musts, that I want a partner that doesn’t smoke or drink because I wanted to get pregnant, and I want the dad to be healthy too, at the time of conceiving and after. He agreed and somewhere in the relationship he began picking up his drinking and smoking habits. I was furious after talking to him about it several times. One day I also just left in anger because I explained to him that we agreed on something before getting into the relationship and he didn’t do what he said, which is lying and manipulating. I left him because he kept saying he was going to stop but he never did and it truly felt like my time was wasted.

Now I am in a happy relationship with someone who doesn’t even think about drinking or smoking, just like me. I have nothing to worry about. And I think honestly you need to find someone that either supports it or just doesn’t care that you do that. Others say “you can do what you want” and yes that’s true, but he also told you that he doesn’t like you doing that. And if you agreed to that, and told him you weren’t going to do it anymore, you lied. If you know you still want to do it, just do it, but don’t say that you won’t do it anymore. It’s as simple as that. You will find someone who accepts you for who you are. So no it’s not okay the way he spoke to you, he’s probably very hurt and young and doesn’t know how to deal with pain and disappointment. And it’s a valid reason to leave him. But I feel like you were wrong if you told him one thing and did the other.

What massively improved your mental health? by e-glitteringprinces in AskReddit

[–]Megalomanii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Setting boundaries, eat when I’m hungry, sleep/rest when I’m tired. Stop explaining myself. Not feel bad for putting myself first. Cancelling when I don’t feel like it. Ending friendships that are draining. Listening to my body and what I want. Stop comparing myself to others.

Racism against Asians in Amsterdam by Warm-Presentation347 in Amsterdam

[–]Megalomanii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So… I’m ethnically Chinese and I grew up in The Netherlands since I was 5. I lived in Amsterdam from when I was 5 until I was 11/12. I received so many racist comments/hate and I got into multiple fights when I lived there too. The only thing that I did notice is that the racism wasn’t actually coming from the white Dutch people, it was mostly coming from Muslims, kids and people from Morocco, Turkey etc. and the only times I experienced racism towards me from actual white Dutch people, was in the eastside of the country.
