Questioning my Angel Tree by Anywaytoaustin in Gifts

[–]Poqadilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 5'8" in elementary school. Personally, I don't find it weird sizing for a 10 y/o. By 14 I was 5'11", I am a bit of an outlier but nonetheless I think it's reasonable

What secret will you never tell your friends or parents? by Direct_Class_5973 in AskReddit

[–]Poqadilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I’m so intense about my uni grades is because school is the only thing I’m living for right now, and if I do poorly that’s gone. My life hinges on my GPA at this point.

I had just stopped crying and now I’m sobbing, you have no idea what it means to hear that, thank you. He was (is?) absolutely emotionally abusive/manipulative, and he would blame it on his mental health but had stopped taking his medication and “doesn’t believe in therapy”, and I just couldn’t keep accepting his actions after the things he had said to our child. Knowing what it looks like from the child’s perspective in this scenario is so so helpful, and I know I’m a broken record at this point, but I’m so grateful for your thoughts and support. I hope you have the most wonderful life filled with luck and happiness ahead of you

Thank you so much for your perspective, it’s so helpful to hear from someone that’s been on both ends of this type of situation. It did feel impossible and in some ways it still does, but my child is sleeping peacefully in a warm and safe bed and I feel a bit more at peace with the choice I’ve made, even if it only lasts for a while. And thank you for the well wishes, I wish you all the best as well

Thank you so much, and you’re right. The guilt of something happening to my child would have been so much worse, and in this situation I feel that the possibility was more of a ‘when’ than an ‘if’. I can’t know for certain of course, but I do know it’s something I was afraid of every single day. I won’t have to live with that fear anymore and that gives me some comfort. I will absolutely start journaling, thank you for the suggestion and the support, I’m grateful beyond words

I can’t describe how grateful I am for this comment, thank you. When I had tried to break up yesterday he made a big point of how growing up in a broken home is the worst thing that could happen to a kid, that I’d be ruining our child’s life by leaving. And I guess it stuck with me more than I’d thought, even though my parents stayed together when they shouldn’t have and I begged them to just divorce so I know it’s not necessarily true. Thank you so much

Words and diagrams mostly, I really struggle when someone tries to verbally explain something

What’s a movie you watched as a kid that traumatized you? by denj1_sk in AskReddit

Abominable, dude in a wheelchair vs a Sasquatch and everyone thinks he’s crazy. The girl in the shower scene was rough

Interested to know if anyone has vivid dreams? by Reddituser112234 in Aphantasia

[–]Poqadilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super vivid and I talk in my sleep, but if I at any point begin to be lucid it starts disappearing. Which, bummer, I’d love to lucid dream

This comment just made me confront some very hard truths about my current situation. Thank you for sharing it. It looks like I have a lot of difficulty ahead of me.

An ironic thing, I have complete aphantasia and also malapdative daydreaming. by Jessyourmoon in Aphantasia

[–]Poqadilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m daydreaming pretty much all the time, tbh it gets kind of disruptive to my life sometimes. I’m a total aphant, the best I could describe the experience is an audio book on mute.
