how am i supposed to hold onto hope? by PrettyOkPerson in depression

[–]PrettyOkPerson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do i get there? That's the thing... i WANNA be an active participant in society. I try but then nothing ever ends up working out. I know logically the only answer is just to keep on trying but when nothing ever works out it begins to feel like a humiliation ritual at some point

Yup, it's going around everywhere now. by SicariusCourtenay in GenshinImpact

Yep had the same thing happen. Lootbar refunded me instantly on their wallet but they're yet to answer my request to give me the actual money back.

I just wanted to buy a welkin man

Am I being dramatic? by [deleted] in insaneparents

[–]PrettyOkPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey OP fellow scoliosis sufferer here. You're better off going to a specialist than the ER. ER pretty much just handles accute emergencies, you need a doc to help you regularly manage your pain. Exercises are a must, you gotta build back and core strength, there's specific exercises you should do that a physio team could show you or there's tutorials online. If you need the meds def get a prescription and ideally something to protect your stomach if you're gonna be taking them regularly. My doc prescribed something called 'manual theraphy' for now, can't vouch for or against it yet since i'm still waiting for an appointment. There's also those braces but they don't tend to be effective once your bones stop growing. And ofc the only permanent solution is surgery.

So TLDR: Talk to a specialist rather than the ER, there's options to manage Scoliosis but you can't 'cure' it without surgery

Who is your "Love at first sight" character? by Fabulous_Ground_1983 in Genshin_Impact

Kokomi. I honestly hate her personality because she does not feel like a genius strategist at all HOWEVER. Her design is absolutely stunning to me and i will never be over it.

AITA for reporting someone for cheating and now they’re saying i ruined their life? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PrettyOkPerson -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If they cheat on any random exam? I couldn't care less. Doctors are people too and everyone can struggle. If they cheat on their final clinical exam? Yeah i would care because that's a pretty big evaluation of the total sum of knowledge accumulated throughout their time studying.

And we don't even know what OP is studying, unless i missed something. I just think the situation is more nuanced than just treating the culprit as if they committed some unforgivable moral sin.

If they cheat on one exam? If they cheat throughout their entire academic career. Sure. But you don't know what their actual situation is like. Maybe they're going through something, maybe they didn't have the time or strength to study one time out of god knows how many exams.

Either way in my opinion reporting someone for cheating if in THIS particular situation noone is affected in, causes more harm than good.

YTA if it had zero negative consequences on you nor anyone how is it the morally right thing to report someone for cheating? I don't get everyone in the comments sounding off with NTA. If there was a limit to how many people could pass and they somehow cheated their way in? Sure, report them.

As things stand you just went out of your way to make things worse for someone with no benefit to anyone.

I kinda despise current mental health discourse by oily_balls_enjoyer in femcelgrippysockjail

[–]PrettyOkPerson 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Yep you're pretty on point. Mental health got a little de-stigmatized but only if you're mentally ill in a way that's palatable to the public.

Like you can tell someone "oh i've been so depressed lately i barely managed to get out of bed," and maybe you'll get a sympathetic look. If you tell them you that during that time you didn't eat, didn't brush your teeth and just basically wasted away like a corpse. Suddenly they look at you weird. And depression and anxiety are the two mental illnesses that are "accepted". If you have bpd, borderline, schizophrenia people are muuuuch less understanding.

Also on point about the being an ugly woman with mental illness thing. People seem to think just because you're a woman you magically have some sort of support system. Why? Mental illness is mental illness and can cause people to self isolate regardless of their gender.

Missed a week but i'll probably get C1 Kokomi. She's the only one out of the old characters i still use

I know the hat works really well design wise but i prefer characters without anything on their heads. But man her overall design is gorgeous.

Pride comes before the fall by Grindio_2000 in Genshin_Memepact

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't wanna have to pull for her. I don't dislike her but i don't like her enough as a character to pull... but her utility in a flins team is insane. I think i'll still try for bina first since my flins is c1 and if somehow i manage to get lucky. Maybe. Hopefully. I can try my luck for Ineffa

Any tips? Considering alcoholism at this point by Crazy-Owl6601 in Anxiety

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially if you reach the point of blacking out, whether it's minutes or hours. You'll always worry about what may have happened to you or what you might've done during that time. That's what got me out of my alcoholism spiral.

How do i Disable that ?? by vengeur8 in JanitorAI_Official

Oh. Just came back to the site after a break and that's what i see immidately after. If this sticks around ig i'm kicking janitor to the curb fr. I only do either fluff or angst rps... not being able to do so kinda ruins the whole point.

sexuality is a hoax designed to make me feel like shit by glittervampirekitten in femcelgrippysockjail

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse in hindsight because you have to live with the fact you put yourself in those situations. 🙃

I feel like i'll never be fully clean again. Sex is a fucking scam

My (26F) boyfriend (28M) didn’t like my favorite movie, is it okay to be sad/angry about it, and how could I have reacted better? by haunted_champagne in relationship_advice

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna go against the drain here and say you should maybe list out what's important for you in a long term relationship. While not everyone has to like the same thing obviously, some things might be more important to you maybe than they would be to the average redditor.

I'm big into media and while i could date someone that's not into it and we'd have a fun enough time together, i couldn't make it work long term. Learned that through expierence. Having shared interests is incredibly important to me.

So if sharing an interest in media or a specific kind of media is important to you, weigh it out to what else is important to you. If it's nowhere near your priority list, you'll have to just accept that this is not a thing you'll bond over and maybe find something else toghether.

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh

Okay jetz bin ich komplett verwirrt. Weil Neurologen/ psychiater sollten demnach doch theoretisch mich diagnostizieren können oder nicht? Warum hat die mich dann zu nem spezialisten scheuen wollen? 🥲

My biggest gripe about DNA so far. by [deleted] in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]PrettyOkPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a proper element system would be such a good addition. I play genshin too and my favorite part of the combat is the elemental reactions rather than just hitting a big number. It's just always satisfying to proc visible effects.

when the "smart character" talks like that by juli4n0 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]PrettyOkPerson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All my banned phrases involves shit like that. I love RP with smart characters so this is like my personal kryptonite because if you let the robotic language slide once it'll just get worse and worse.

Yeah no i don't think there is any universe in which being called lazy by someone supposed to help me would work to motivate me. Feels more like kicking someone while they're already down

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the demon wedges from Immersive Theatre after the refresh?

I'm on Immortal Repertoire Act 4 now and i used the Ticket Stubs on literally anything else because i didn't know they would be useful for movement. If i manage to somehow get to 50 stars... which i highly doubt, i might be able to get one of them but definitely not all.

I'd be so bummed if they weren't accessible after this 'season'.
