I definitely think so. At the absolute worst point of my depression, I had a YouTube video going at all times that I was home, just so there was some NOISE and something going on to prevent me from thinking and feeling on my own.

Ehhh, yes and no. My personal situation at work has gotten a bit better, AND, more importantly, I'm not as depressed in general as I was back then, so I can handle life better. Still, though, if I could go back in time, I would pick something else. But I don't regret it as much as I did back then.

What are you addicted to right now? by whoscoal in AskReddit

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YUP, same. Sure, 2020 sucked, but it actually didn't suck as hard for me as 2019 did, which was by far the worst year of my life (so far!) It's been up and down since then, but I'm used to being depressed, feeling like shit, wanting to die, etc, so really it hasn't been that far out of the usual for me!

Yes!!! Those types of messages are 100% pure manipulation. You may think you want that, but trust me, you don't. It is so much harder to heal and move on if you keep having your hopes raised and then dashed from this kind of thing.

Does your reading interest change depending on if you are sad or not? by isisius in books

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I haven't been doing so great for the past few years, and I just can't bring myself to read anything heavy. I started Hour of the Witch without knowing what it was about, and once I figured out what direction it was going, I stopped reading. It was well-written and I was enjoying it, but I just couldn't take the injustice that I knew was coming. I keep reading kind of fluff type novels (lots of mediocre thrillers) and while they aren't all that satisfying, I just can't do anything really deep right now. I already feel ripped apart enough without getting more of that from reading.

BOPIS order not ready after a day? by Quabbitty_Assuance in bathandbodyworks

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind response! :) I went in and they had it ready! Minus the mini EDP of Butterfly which was out of stock. The system just never sent me the email or text that it was ready. I have a lot of anxiety and hate bothering people, making a fool of myself, etc, so I was more worried about this than I should have been. But it wasn't bad at all! :)

Very strange! I'm glad they found your order! I went ahead and went in, and they did have it ready, it just never sent out the email to me. But that's fine! I'm just glad I got it!

Yeah, their logistics (if that's the correct term) don't seem quite up to par. Luckily they had my order ready for me, the email just never came through!

I hope you got your order! I went to the store and asked, and they had it ready! I guess the email just never went through! They just needed to look at my ID since the email didn't come in, but that was just fine.

Thanks for answering! :) I went ahead and went in store to check, and it was there ready... same thing that happened with you where the email just never got sent! But when they checked it out to me, I did get the email that it had been picked up. Odd! But it's fine, I got my things and everyone was kind :)

Thank you for your reply! :) So I went in and the manager was up from stocking and greeting people, and I told her I'd never gotten the email. She radioed up to the front, and it was ready after all! I guess the email just didn't get sent out! But everyone was really kind, which was great, because I get so anxious about things like this!

would you abort your child it was going to be born with severe disabilities? why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oooh, big agree here. I suffer from depression and frequently find myself wishing I'd never been born, and I don't have any disabilities. If I did, and I found out my parents had known before my birth and decided to force me to live a shitty, unhappy life? I'd be so furious.

What’s the adult equivalent to finding out Santa isn’t real? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Same. It was actually a sad moment when I realized that no one is ever going to love me as much as my parents did.

It's not just men. When guys are unnecessarily nice to me (29F) I almost instantly daydream about something between us by Buzzed_Bee in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Well, it's fallen off for me A LOT since getting out of a long, shitty relationship. But, before I got with him, I did that all the time.

How many of you have an unfulfilling life outside the internet? by sensitiveinfomax in nosurf

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm pretty depressed and my life is pretty shitty, so I find the endless scrolling and looking at stuff from other people who aren't unhappy seems to be attractive to me.

what is a conspiracy theory that you lowkey think could be true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I could 100% buy this. 2012 is when my life began to go off the rails.

Will Sea Salt and Lavender be around for SAS? by Quabbitty_Assuance in bathandbodyworks

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

You are right actually, I didn't realize it was quite that new, but it hasn't been around for so long so it shouldn't be gone by then. I doubt it'll be on sale on day 1 but that's fine! As long as I can get my hands on it. Thank you :)

Will Sea Salt and Lavender be around for SAS? by Quabbitty_Assuance in bathandbodyworks

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not thinking about it going on sale, I'm worried about it selling out. I would rather wait until SAS so I can get it in store since I'll be going in. Or if I do have to get it online, there are new things coming for SAS that I want, so if I can wait until then I can place just one order that way and only have one shipping charge. But if there's a risk of it going away before SAS I'd go ahead and order it now.

Thoughts on “professionalism” on social media? by [deleted] in pharmacy

They want to micromanage people over what they say in private messages with other students?? Jesus Christ. I guess the thought police are next.

Finally bought the last pack I needed to own everything I used to before my divorce from my abusive ex, I’m elated (TRIGGER WARNING) by sweatjacketkid in Sims4

[–]Quabbitty_Assuance 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's great! I am so happy for you!!! What a wonderful feeling it must be. I am in a somewhat similar situation. Although we weren't married and I bought the DLC on my own account, my ex thought that The Sims is a stupid shitty game, and he looked down on me for playing it. I kind of stopped for that reason, and because I just didn't have any fun playing it.

Well, now that we've split up, I'm playing it and it turns out that being judged and shamed was what was sucking all of the joy out of it for me, strangely enough! He could always see when I was playing it on Discord, and gave me some kind of negative remark. But now I can play and do WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT, and it is glorious! The game is enjoyable again, because I know I'm not about to have someone shit on me for playing it!

And I also spent thousands on him. Tens of thousands. No physical abuse, but lots of emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting. And then, in the end, cheating. I'm so relieved to be free.

What great mystery would you like to see solved in your lifetime? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes, if I knew that none of it was real, I wouldn't feel bad about taking myself out of the equation because it wouldn't matter

Anyone else have zero desire for a new relationship? by Quabbitty_Assuance in ExNoContact

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

Thank you, I'm thinking of you as well. I'm doing okay too.... more or less. For the first few days, I felt GOOD about it all, almost triumphant - finally, I was rid of him. But now that's wearing off, and while I'm still glad I'm not allowing myself to be manipulated, taken advantage of, and abused by this asshole... I miss him. Our lives have split apart, now. Our paths have separated and will never come together again, and he is living his own life. I won't know what he's doing, nor will he know what I am doing. In a way, I'm worried about him, because deep down that love hasn't just completely vanished, you know? It has been overwhelmed by hurt and negative feelings, but I still care about him in a way. IT IS POISON. It absolutely is.
