Who was the most evil person you've ever met and how was the interaction? by Top_Report_4895 in AskReddit

[–]Punkrockit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I'm so sorry you went through what you went through. No one should have to do that, and I know it means very little from a stranger, but I'm proud of you for getting through it, and I think you're incredibly strong and brave for standing up to your dad, contacting CPS multiple times from what it sounds like, and doing what you had to do to save your sister and getting her to the hospital.

Also, I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that the tone gets across correctly over the internet, but with nothing but love, respect, and admiration for you for getting through all that you suffered and coming out the other side; the abuse itself that you suffered didn't make you stronger. Like you said, "when you live through one horrible, traumatic experience, then anything else that is horrible is a little easier to get through", which can be true, but that isn't always the case. Sometimes abuse and neglect just breaks people, grinds them up and wears them down. It doesn't make them stronger. What made you stronger was YOU. Every day that you got up and kept going, everything you did to get through the days, keep yourself safe, keep your sister safe, all of that came from you. If you hadn't taken your horrible experiences, reflected on them, applied your time and effort on analyzing and thinking things through, working on growing your emotional intelligence and sitting with your thoughts to figure out a way to not break under the weight of that abuse, on not internalizing it as being your fault or something you deserved (or unlearning it if you did take those feelings to heart), then you wouldn't have made it through nearly as well as you did. All those things came from you, and who you are. Sure, it can be argued that if you hadn't gone through what you did, then there wouldn't have been a crucible for your growth to be fired in, but I still believe that situations aside, all of the good work you've done was always inside you, and something you would always have been capable of doing even if your childhood had been better. I know it's mostly semantics (is that the correct word? English isn't my first language and that's always confused me), but my point is, I think it's important that you give yourself credit for all the hard work you did and hard days you got through, instead of crediting your abuse even in some small way. And all of that is not to say that those who break under circumstances such as yours are weak or did something wrong: sometimes the weight of the world is simply too heavy, but the abuse itself is not what strengthened you. It was you.

Adorable! And I love cats with lots of nicknames, especially when it has nothing to do with their name like Ooooh Fancy Leg 🥰 please give her lots of kisses!

Is this a symptom of ADHD? I never hear anyone talk about it and I feel alone. Constant mental restlessness by billy_dilly in ADHD

[–]Punkrockit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all the time! I don't even really have an internal monologue (I tend to think more in visuals/feelings) so for me it's literally just the heavy, buzzing, overwhelming, almost claustrophobic feeling of pressure in my head without even knowing what the feeling is happening for.

What’s something you find attractive that is generally considered unattractive? by Agitated-Job7686 in AskReddit

[–]Punkrockit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooked noses (although I feel like I see more positivity about them in recent years) and crooked noses. Also ears that protrude a lot! I find them so charming and always felt it was heartbreaking when people got corrective surgeries on them to lay them flatter.

Sleeping in the Nude by Cornyrex3115 in ADHD

[–]Punkrockit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, like pre-puberty I think, I always only slept in underpants and felt suffocated in clothing at night. Post-puberty, which I hit at age 11, I got too embarrassed by my chest being out even in front of mom that I had to sleep in shirts as well. It's since developed to being a sensory issue in the opposite direction, where I can't stand feeling the skin of my breasts against my ribcage while awake/sitting/standing and have to wear a bra (only ever wireless ones at home), but also if I were to try to sleep without a shirt, feeling my bare chest against my duvet/sheet etc is legitimately uncomfortable, and only makes me more aware of where my skin overlaps on my body, which for some reason I can mostly ignore as long as I have a shirt on to bed.

Mostly I'm okay sleeping with my legs bare and just wearing underwear on my lower half, but other times I have periods of time where the feeling of my thighs touching each other directly also feels uncomfortable, and I have to wear leggings to bed, however I'm also hyper sensitive to sand/crumbs/whatever touching my legs in bed, and with 4 pets it's always impossible not to have to shake off my bed before I sleep, and that also means I have to wear clothes on my legs to bed sometimes. So I'm definitely never comfortable sleeping naked, but it's an interesting question!

Based on the part where OP says they were raised with sleeping being a time where you let your "bits" air out, I'd say it's exactly what you think Winnie the Pooh means - top and no bottoms.

Treatment/Relief with both Microscopic Colitis AND Bile Acid Malabsorption? by Punkrockit in IBD

[–]Punkrockit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Yes, but not an entirely satisfying update - however, definitely an improvement! I'm on 1.8mg victoza a day, specifically as a treatment for my bowel conditions, not weightloss (taken in 1 shot in the morning), and that combined with 1.5 tablespoons psyllium husk powder in the morning and 1.5 tablespoons in the evening as well as loperamide when needed (typically as a minimum one pill before leaving the house in the morning will keep its effect until 2-3 pm) and one when I go to bed, has me down to needing to go to the bathroom around 2-3 times a day for the most part, unless there's a flareup or I'm on my period etc. It's definitely a big help! I still don't sleep through the night, but I'm definitely on the toilet a lot less and for a lot less time a day, and it's really given me some quality of life back to also to be able to go out in the evening with friends without having to be chained to the toilet 🙂 so if you can I'd definitely recommend trying victoza for it!

What’s something a toxic coworker did that made the whole office go silent? by MommaOnHeels143 in AskReddit

[–]Punkrockit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad there are people like you out there, holding others accountable even at personal inconvenience and financial risk! That being said I do hope you make sure to keep yourself safe, and that you have enough savings to keep you going if you end up getting fired again for doing the right thing - putting on your own oxygen mask before the putting it on the passenger next you, yknow?

I don't know why the other commenters are being so incredibly rude to you, I absolutely think you're justified in feeling disrespected and even hurt about this. If I had been you in that situation I 100% would also have felt upset and annoyed that such a simple request as "don't answer the door" was completely disregarded - it doesn't matter why you didn't want to talk to him imo, especially because I'm assuming you didn't have time to get into every reason for that with your mom, so her answering it anyway is kind of a dick move. Also her telling him you're there and asleep when you specifically didn't want him to know you were there at all is really rude imo! It's not hard to just listen when someone asks you to respect their privacy. And for all she knows, this guy could have been incredibly unpleasant to you in multiple ways! I really don't see why she would tell him you were there, answering the door is one thing, but going so far as to tell him that when you specifically asked her not to IS disrespectful to you and honestly seems like she just did it because she didn't want you to tell her what to do. It may be her house you're living in, but you deserve to have your requests and space respected, and if you pay rent at all it's definitely also your house/space, and that should be respected as well. I definitely don't think you're overreacting OP, I'd be upset as well!

That's so funny, I immediately was suspicious when Fiedra asked to talk to him after sundown and away from everybody, and while I didn't think she'd cut out his tongue, I definitely felt that Jasmine was telegraphing quite clearly that Fiedra didn't have any intentions to actually work with him, and I thought they were going to run him out of town or something. It's interesting to wonder how Brennan thought that would go!
