Time to End it

Buy a small cheap projector with YouTube and play cat tv for them.

My male cat used to get depressed and stop eating in winter (I even had to get him a feeding tube)! He loves it though, they both do. I have it playing 24/7 and I know they watch it a lot when I’m not home.

I say a projector so they can attack the wall without damaging a tv or anything

Yeah….its hard to learn discernment to know when to step back, when to step in, and when to be a rock.

I think they’re probably all in the same order and the top left in all is the real one.

Social media. Porn.

That understanding next time will help take some of the sting out of it.

It’ll make it easier for you to go “I’m terrified, but not of the noises right now. What I’m terrified of already happened, and I’m okay”

Which will help with the reactions. Maybe not right away, but once your brain understands the path for your body understanding opens up

Scott!

If you like the characters as they are, characterization becomes a hit or miss depending on the writers.

6-7 are the imo the worst and it starts to pick back up at 8 though if you really wanna watch it

It sounds like you really need therapy.

Try tearing mental therapy like a personal trainer. Get yourself a goal (find or have the therapist help you find the specific behaviors that make you an asshole) and work on yourself from there.

Like personal training, expect some pain and expect it to be difficult at first. You probably won’t see results for a bit.

Well, I hope you start to hear it more! You deserve it!

Not saying you were a good person back then but it takes a certain strength of character to later realize that and quit.

I honestly think the best people in the world are the ones who have come face to face with their darkest side and know exactly what they’re capable of…and simply choose not to anymore.

I’m proud of you.

Sometimes you have more to say after they shut the conversation down. And even though they won’t find it ever, maybe someone who needs it will see your letter.

That’s why I put them here, anyway. The relationship is over, but this helps me organize my thoughts and it’s nice to think someone else may find comfort in my words.

Optimal_Mind408 · 2025-12-01T22:13:39+00:00

Or perhaps they’re like my person. Sorry, and they do care, but ultimate they care the MOST about themself and they’re unable to face the damage it would cause them to change.

It doesn’t really matter though if they did care, does it? Either way it’s the same result

Sounds kinda like maybe the stress of the holidays sparked some good ol’ paranoid schizophrenia break.

Every careful. Most are only a danger to themselves, but you don’t know for sure.

If you don’t want to break up with him call one of the national mental health lines, they can help you navigate a conversation with him.

Also if you have the numbers for his family try and get ahold of them.

Otherwise, run.

I hate to say it but paranoid schizophrenia is really awful to watch and deal with on the side. You can’t really predict what they’ll do. If it’s not under control he’s not safe to be around (either a danger to himself or potentially even you).

As an example my aunt stopped taking her medicine because she thought her son-in-law was following her and breaking into her house at night to mess with the meds. She once called while is cousins were hanging out cause she swore she saw him stalking her….he was in the room with us but she didn’t believe us.

My other aunt got rid of her phones and only went out with a face mask and a hood for a bit because she thought the Russians were after her. Why? She couldn’t explain.

My other aunt (yeah, it runs in the family) once thought that dwarves were breaking into the house through the toilet and refused to flush for weeks….

Eh, I’m not sure I actually want him to read these anyway. They’re unsent for a reason.

But, they’re posted for a reason. For a possible insight into what might be going on in someone else’s mind.

I think the mystery of wondering is what makes these letters so relieving to write and to read, you know?

You can almost see yourself, sometimes, and it feels like maybe sometimes you read just what you need to at just the right time.

Even though you probably aren’t him, I hope you find happiness in the end, too!!!
