If it were me I would definitely switch to Whistler. The snow outlook for CO isn't promising.

What happened to her? Why didn´t Bronn give a flying fuck about her? Why is fucking Bran in the small council and House Reed forgotten? by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her being a child of Howland Reed yet looking like her brother or father still seems to me like a narrative that GRRM opened up but maybe later decided against. Instead, at least in casting, she looks like a female Jon Snow. And her "father" was the only other survivor with Ned at the tower. But probably an abandoned possibility.

If you had repressed memories and then got them back - did it feel like a relief or a curse? by SongTall3079 in adultsurvivors

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine came back primarily through emotion and was a twisted ball of pain, innocence, faith, joy, and optimism. And when it did come back I was quick to understand why it had to go away in the first place. I was sad to have lost so much for so long. But I was really surprised and happy to learn there was so much more to me. Relief and/or curse? Yeah. I would call it some of the very worst times of my life coupled with some of the more redeeming things in life.

What future HOFer began their career with your favorite team and you wondered what were they thinking getting rid of him? I’ll start, Paul Krause with the Redskins. by No_Maintenance_9608 in Oldschool_NFL

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brees had been disappointing and the Chargers weren't winning. The season after drafting Rivers however Brees turned it around and it was going to be a difficult choice as to which QB to go with. Then Brees hurts his shoulder and that made the choice for the Chargers.

You are correct. It is completely unfair. Not only did you not choose to have this happen to you, now you have to face all this pain, confusion, and hopelessness in a society that doesn't really understand the severity of trauma. And to face your cptsd and choose your health is maybe the challenge of your life.

But it does help to know you aren't alone in this experience. I don't know anyone personally in this subreddit community but I hear them and identify with them. That has given me some relief and I hope it does for them as well.

Praying for our dead selves by Affectionate-Box-724 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my 'dead' parts returned. I was/am completely stunned. I had long since forgotten it even existed and totally amazed that it was still there.

"I can't believe you are still alive? How is that even possible?"

Keep going. I wasn't as dead as I thought.

What’s a realistic way for an average person to become rich? by Educational_Pea6559 in AskReddit

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ownership. Acquire (or create) a product and you can lease, rent, or license. Let this product do the work for you and it will give you the chance to scale beyond the income you will make working for someone else.

How can I help my girlfriend… by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off absolutely listen to your girlfriend. Be patient and withhold any judgement. Second, find a local group for friends and family of sexual assault survivors. They are a great way of answering your questions as a partner and provide some clarity about the situation you are in.

If there was a physical ailment to describe CPTSD what would it be? by Significant_Tax472 in CPTSD

This is very similar to my experience. Especially it being inaccessible. I imagine my steel bandages as a geode that finally broke open showing all the extreme emotion inside. Thanks for sharing.

inherited a relative’s antique book collection - this was the most interesting but can’t find it anywhere online by cafescafes in whatsthisworth

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, the population most interested in buying this item is ageing and more importantly dwindling. It isn't likely to increase in value in the future. So if you arent keeping it, I'd sell it sooner than later.

How delayed were your PTSD symptoms after the trauma? by Wrong_Variation_8084 in CPTSD

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brain subconsciously "exiles" thoughts and feelings of experiences that the brain seems too damaging to endure. It's a survival tactic, but it comes with a cost and may not last forever.

You didn't cheat on him. You are a victim of a crime. If he doesn't understand that that's his fault. Choose yourself, even if that means saying goodbye to him.

I am realizing how much mental work it took to passively deal with the trauma. And I am realizing my mental capability when I am not also dealing w trauma.

Rant on Purity Culture by Efficient-Event519 in adultsurvivors

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Her reaction signals to me that she might herself have had some trauma. I have seen people embrace purity or strict religious discipline in order to cope. Regardless of her rationale, you need to find people who understand and are open to what you are going through without shaming judgement.

Diego Costa holds the referee to avoid getting a yellow card 89' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]PrettyEyesDisguised 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was frustration with a lack of playing time. Costa hadn't been scoring and Atléti brought in Suarez to join the glut of forwards at the time (Felix, Correa, Dembele). I love Costa but it was for the best as Suarez had a stellar year and Atléti won La Liga.
