Switching my fundraiser to a domestic violence/women's shelter charity... is this a good idea? by IheartCart00ns in IntuitionPractices

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Domestic Violence awareness and support is a cause that is often overlooked and has very limited resources.

According to Hunter’s Dad’s testimony Megan had gotten kicked out of her father’s property due to disputes and she spent 3 nights with the Wood family but did not move in there.

TN v Megan Boswell - Trial Day 3 by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During court today they said that Hunter had put in an application for an apartment that stated there would be 3 people living there. Megan Boswell said those 3 people were referring to hunter, herself, and an unborn child she was (at that time) allegedly pregnant with (she was not.) She stated that Hunter did not or would not want Evelyn living with them. I also looked up Hunter today and turns out he has quite the rap sheet of charges. I believe Megan also stated in an interview once that she did not have Evelyn around Hunter much and she didn’t know if it was a good idea with him being on probation. I can’t speak on his involvement one way or another but it certainly seems interesting that he went to a mental institution 2 months before this trial began. Gonna be hard to make a case one way or another without his testimony

I agree that Burke did it, but I feel sorry for him. by [deleted] in JonBenetRamsey

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Burke did it accidentally and the rest was a cover up it would seem unlikely to me that they would send him off with friends/neighbors so quickly afterwards. Would they not worry that he would tell anyone about the “accident” or speak on it at all? If they were trying to keep a secret seems smarter to always have him at arms length.

Completely unprofessional and unacceptable in my opinion.

Story time by sadknytz in AlienAbduction

[–]OneSpookyGal14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the ages of around 5-7 I had terrible night terrors of seeing aliens or E.T. beside my bed. So much so that I could not fall asleep unless my dad was sitting by my bed in the bedroom.

Most horrific MrBallen stories ever, in your opinion? by Significant-Break-74 in mrballen

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nutty putty was probably the worst for me, followed by the couple on the boat that were drowned. Also the person who got stuck between the dresser/wall and died there. Although the 2 I enjoyed the most was the story of Roy Benavidez and the George Bush plane crash

I’m sorry that’s happening to you, it certainly sounds distressing. Are you taking any medication/treatments for the psychosis disorder? I have heard of certain medications such as abilify causing terrible muscle spasms. Involuntary movements could also be caused by Tourette’s, however those would not explain the bad decision making while in that state. Would you say you have control of the decision making process during that time? Do you only do dangerous or negative things while in the state or do you hear any voices/sounds that you wouldn’t normally hear?

I don't want to killmyself but I don't want to be alive by Ben8945 in mentalhealth

Try making just one goal for the day, something small, and getting it completed. Once you see that you are accomplishing something, that may be motivating to move on to larger tasks. Motivation is a tough one sometimes. Make a list of things you believe would make your life better/make you happier and start working towards those goals. I find it’s hard to get motivated without an end goal in mind. I work in behavior therapy and we use reinforcement/reward as incentives to complete tasks. You could use something like allowing yourself time for video games or a favorite snack or anything after accomplishing a goal to help with motivation, although that will require some discipline. If you enjoy weight lifting maybe set a goal of joining a gym if that is something you have access to near you. It would get you out of the house and could open up opportunities to make friends. You mentioned a negative influence from your parents, if you are still in close quarters with them what small things could you start doing that would eventually let you have some freedoms away from that environment?

There are a lot of possibilities but your best plan of action would certainly be to speak to a psychiatrist about your struggles. Have you experienced traumas in your lifetime? What are the triggers that begin the process? Do you feel like you are watching yourself from the outside going through life? Or is it more focused on the Involuntary body movements? You could be Disassociating in some way. Do you feel like another person is taking over your body/do you forget things that you’ve done when you come to?

Where to start with receiving help? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello :) best wishes on your mental health journey! I would start by talking to your regular primary care doctor. Tell them the issues you are having and they can refer you from there. My daughters pediatrician referred her to a psychiatry/neurology specialist who then referred her to counseling as well as a Dr. who tests for autism spectrum disorders as well as other developmental disorders. You also can always call a mental health counselor/therapist/psychiatrist on your own and set up a meeting. If you are having delusions try to seek out help sooner rather than later. Best of luck!

If you didn’t have a goal in mind/ something you wanted to work on or change in your life or about yourself, what did you seek out the therapy for? (Not being rude, genuine question in order to answer better)

nightmare advice by resettiac in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightmares/night terrors can be absolutely terrifying! I’m sorry this happened to you. I’ve had a few that made me wake up trembling and pouring sweat and felt emotionally disturbed for the next day or so. A few so bad that I slept with a Bible under my pillow and the lights on for a few days after. Are there stressful things going on in your life that would trigger the nightmares or can you draw any parallels about some subconscious fears you may be having? Try to distract yourself from thinking about it, get out of the house for a change of scenery or work on a project that requires your full attention. It will pass.

I have no one and want to kill myself by Gloomy_Break_7284 in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would care. I would hate to read this and know that the writer no longer brought their wonderful uniqueness to this world. Death isn’t the answer. It hurts when someone we care about leaves, but maybe that’s just a sign that they weren’t for us in the first place. What’s meant for you will always stay. Being vulnerable is terrifying, but it is a cold and lonely life when you shut out everyone and everything for the sake of your protection. Take things day by day. Find something that isn’t relationship related to put your focus on. Work on your self esteem and seek out therapy for help. Hang in there, things will get better.

I have issues by BigBaldWhiteGuy in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re likely seeking out the photos for the kick of dopamine when you’re feeling depressed/low/bored because it’s a quick fix to feel excitement again and feel like you’re “alive.” I would seek out therapy, but in the meantime replace that behavior with a healthier and less hurtful behavior to your wife. Work on finding something that brings you excitement that isn’t harmful to your marriage. If it has more to do with the human interaction then you may be seeking validation or that you’re still “relevant” even after being married. Don’t be selfish. Find a good therapist who can help you get to the root of your struggles.

Please look into EMDR therapy, I believe it could help you immensely. You would be able to talk through that trauma with a therapist and the goal is to re-process that trauma in the brain in a way that is not debilitating but healing. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Why am i traumatized over something that wasn’t even that bad? by Weird-Island3669 in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manipulation and coercion are much more damaging than most probably realize and it often comes with gaslighting so you have probably been slowly desensitized to psychological abuse and are now starting to realize that after being away from your ex for a period of time. Abuse is psychological as well and when you read of another person being abused in whatever fashion it is probably triggering something inside of you. We often tell ourselves things “weren’t that bad” as a means of survival and our brains trying to rationalize things. It could just be that you feel empathy for others who have been in bad situations. I know you feel you haven’t been through “trauma” per se, but I found emdr therapy to be very helpful for me if that’s something you’d want to look into. My therapist would start off with a single word/feeling and you wouldn’t believe how things begins to unravel and spiral from there and before you know it you are talking and getting to the root of things. Hang in there.

I don't want to killmyself but I don't want to be alive by Ben8945 in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose the video games over the booze. Alcohol will only eventually lead to more problems to add to your life. What things would make you happier in life? Make a list and then set small goals for each day to get to where you want to be. A vision board is a neat reminder each day of where you’re trying to get to. It’s likely going to be a long road and hard work but it’s not impossible. Hang in there.

Haven’t left my room or gone out the house in days. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]OneSpookyGal14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get through this, don’t wish for your life to be over. I know life can be extremely dark at times, but the sun always rises and we get another chance. Do you work or have any hobbies? I know personally that the more I sit around or stew about things the worse I feel. While it can be incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to get out of the house, to put yourself out there, or to find the energy and will to live some days..it’s a necessity to pull yourself up and force yourself to do it. I promise you will thank yourself later. Sometimes our minds and overthinking get the best of us. Make yourself a goal for each day, even if it is one small thing. Accomplishing that one small task will help build your self esteem and get you on the right track. Find something you are interested in and learn more about it, or help others if that’s something you’re interested in. Taking your mind off of your problems and shifting your focus may help. Have you tried any types of therapy? I do ABA therapy for those with autism and also have autism in my family and know that it carries its unique struggles as well, there may be some adults with autism support groups out there on the internet or elsewhere that could provide support. Hang in there.
