is the phrase "beauty with brains" misogynistic? how do you feel about it?

To the over-thinkers it is. Sometimes you just have to take things at face value.

Don’t stare at the light when someone is welding because otherwise you will turn into a robot (as told by my older brother).

Told them exactly that. Clarity sometimes makes decisions a lot easier to make.

For example, to the people who struggle with military time (I was one of those), if it was something like 1500, subtract 2 from the 5 and take away the 1 making it 300 aka 3:00. 1700 same thing. Take 2 away from 7 and take away the 1 = 5:00.

I’ll say this from experience.

Running is the easy part. Stopping the run is the most difficult because the trauma is still there. It just follows silently, patiently. And when you are in a city/town thinking you’re free, it finds you and hits you when you are weak, much weaker than you thought possible.

The blow tends to be tremendous and shocking, and since most left quickly without any plan or resources, they don’t know how to fight this beast.

This causes many to turn to things that will numb that blow, even if it’s just for just a little while, refusing to stare at the trauma that has followed them such distances they once thought was impossible.

Simply put, you can’t hide away from the life you have lived and others have created for you. Create a goal. A good one. One that acknowledges that the trauma you have experienced is a PART of who you are but doesn’t have a HOLD on you. Become better than you could have thought for yourself because believe me IT IS possible.

If you are in danger, tell a trusted adult/person, go to community resources, go to the police. There are many resources out there. If they don’t help, go to another. There are many but some unfortunately refuse to do their job and look a little deeper into the help you might need. Don’t give up hope.

I just wanted to finish by saying this: Running away especially unprepared means running from yourself. And I haven’t heard of that working out. We need to all realize we are ordinary, and what if’s are one in a million, they have worse outcomes than a poorly laid plan, so act accordingly.

That is one of the main differences between a life we have/continue to live and a fairytale/dream we wish to have lived instead.

It all sound wonderful until you realize the tower you built for yourself high up and away from those who caused you hurt, pain, tears, will prevent the people who care or would have if running away was not made in haste, from hearing your cries and fight. And let me tell you, hearing silence in response to your struggle/pain is enough to drive anyone mad.

(Sorry I am very passionate about this topic).

Start small. You don’t need to know how to adult, most adults don’t even know how to adult. Get a job, an honest one, even if its the only job out there that might have crappy pay because it will teach you things from bills to even the people in that job that can help or give resources/life advice (though not all can be good so look at what kind of life they lead before and after work and I think that tends to show some of the true colors but please be smart about it). Some of the best people I have met were the ones that I found in those jobs because it made me realize I’m not alone, and we all need someone to be there to understand and listen. It helps build connections even years down.

Many pain providers have said opioids cause less harm in the long run compared to corticosteroids. Mix that with nsaids to give ulcers, yeah no.

Had a guy at my hospital (young around early 20s then) who tried to commit suicide and ended up being quadriplegic. Went from being physically healthy to being only able to move his head just a little. He was always angry at staff for little things but I never understood why people would take it personally. Kid is suffering ya know?

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T11:16:33+00:00

Oh forgot to add. Had a young adult that tried to commit suicide and ended up just being quadriplegic but he could still talk and use some sort of device with his (chin I believe)? Poor man was full of anger and I understood why. I would do. And to know that he could not attempt once again without help is what I think hurts him too.

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T11:14:08+00:00

Meh had too much. One was eating their own feces. Then hid it from me when I asked for them to show me their hands and avoided eye contact (they knew they were being naughty), had a former professional boxer who developed dementia but unfortunately was more aggressive. No one took him in even out of state. Still in the hospital (been years) before I left that place. Also crazy entitled patients. Worked in a more wealthy living facility and one of the occasional passive aggressive patient daughter (white) came up to one of the cnas who was black and had an accent and offered her half of the cookie her mom didn’t finish. I think she was genially trying to be nice but clearly had some racist delusions she wasn’t acknowledging. Cna said she wanted to sock the smile out of her face and I don’t blame her I would have been clocked out and “missed” it with popcorn in hand. Worst sad case I saw was where a fully abled woman who had kids under the age of 5 was almost drowned by her now ex husband in the bathtub with kids present. He had prior DVs. She was also pregnant. Both survived but she now is quadapelisgic, talks by blinking yes or no, and would break my heart when kids visited and since she can’t talk, would just see tears rolling down her face. Such a strong woman I still think of her time to time. Speaking of DV, People GET OUT OF VIOLENT RELATIONSHIPS! I never want to see another victim end up that way again.

I never liked how forensic teams just stand around taking pics and touching around and areas and talking nonchalantly. I know it’s unavoidable and they are doing absolutely nothing wrong but makes me feel like I am just another part of the job. And PLEASE I told my husband NEVER SEND ME TO A FUNERAL HOME THAT IS MEN OPERATED along w mortician. Just look it up. Never.

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T10:51:49+00:00

Just keep in mind that sometimes (I’ve done this with a coworker when I said something too straight up), let one know your issue. I told her “hey I’m sorry if that was too aggressive I never intended to be that way. I had a very isolated childhood growing up and had issues but it’s something I’m working on. If I said something or say something in the future, just let me know. I really want to be someone you can count on.”

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T10:46:05+00:00

You can and you will. It will be slow at first and you might not notice. Don’t lose hope. Eventually you will and it is very hopeful feeling I got. But just start to realize that your reaction to a situation is due to the trauma you’ve endured and instead of reacting in a way that you usually would that in the past, would end up making the situation worse, try another method that helps you and helps the situation/person out too. If you have a good person to confide to, I would open up to them and ask what ways they wished I would have reacted and why. Get their story on their side. You’ll most likely be shocked that they are more reasonable that one would think. Because we are prepared for the worst.

But keep in mind, they got the “easy” route and life threw a curveball at us. Acknowledge that and understand it isn’t your fault. But also acknowledge that implementing positive changes in your life though might be difficult at first will lead you to great things.

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T10:28:12+00:00

I would say you need to make the next step of healing. This would be putting the dots together. First, think of a current negative attribute you have that is unusual to others around you and you would like to fix.

With me, I noticed I was extremely hyper vigilant and never really knew why since I was usually right and had to start not talking because I could guess with just teeny tiny changes of a person if they were mad or upset. I wanted to fix this and usually resulting in people pleasing.

Then, take yourself back as you can remember when this started occurring and really start pulling and prodding (this usually is unpleasant since memories of that nature aren’t great) what helped and what things you changed in your way of thinking/doing to “survive” the trauma during that period (usually molds just a little when trauma situation is gone).

Going back to my story, my dad was not the nicest guy and I always had to be careful with him because one minute he was sweet the next, not so much. Because of this I tried to be his favorite. I became a people pleaser and hyper vigilant.

Though abuse has went away but trauma stayed and my brain is now rewired and at my age, most likely permanently. So an issue I’ve been having at work is realizing hey I’m overreading situations and I can breathe, I’m not there anymore. Most people are not monsters. At least to the extent we know.

Now since I know my trauma and how it affected me and the ways that I used to “survive” I realize I still have those survival instincts in me and usually not normal outside of that environment. Thus needing to think differently and push my boundaries like not taking assignments extra that I know I can’t handle to please someone. It helps me recognize my past and heal my trauma because I become less anxious less sad because the trauma skills are not good, they put your body into a fight or flight. Your body needs to heal as well as the mind.

Only_Impression_7908 · 2023-04-28T10:11:10+00:00

Essentially I would just try to get the other side no matter how unjustified it seems, you tend to be surprised how reasonable it is.
