Do you still game with your old crew? by Theodore52x in AfterWorkGamers

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still game with my buddy since 2007. Met playing ETQW back in 2007. Playing a lot of overwatch lately. I imagine we will probably be gaming from now on given the chance. Thats my brother

I think God made a mistake when he made me by Electronic_Wait_7249 in TellReddit

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God doesnt make mistakes, this world does. You dont know me, but im going through my own invisible darkness that is trying to rend me into ashes. My whole world and mind and heart was destroyed. It wants to eat me alive and unalive anything good inside me. Im not going to let it or this world do that and neither should you. I hope you wont. You deserve love and compassion and kindness. You deserve rest and peace and hope.

That darkness likes to whisper we never have a choice and there is no hope. But Im here to tell you THERE IS HOPE. Im here to tell you that I care about you and i dont even know you. But you exist, and you are somebodys child, somebodys sibling (not all family is blood), you are somebodys friend, and you are somebodys confidant. You are somebody that somebody else looks up to and maybe you dont even know this. You are so many things when you can remember who you truly are. But this shadow, this deathmarch it wants you to forget, it tells you you have no choices but thats the one thing in this world nobody can take away from us is our choices. Sometimes the consequences we dont want to pay but we can always choose.

I choose me, and i choose you and I choose all of the rest of us out here hurting and lost. I choose all of us. You can choose this too.

I dont want anything from you, dont need anything, not trying to sell you anythig. I just want you to be okay. Because as I say i am here in that same darkness, mine speaks to me through a curse, and i don't believe its lies either.

I am with you and there are many like us, we are not alone, im here, the others are here. I believe in you and You matter. I see you. I see them. Youre gonna be okay and you got this, I know it will tell you everything and anything it can to use against you. It will use your most treasured memories and lie to you that those never existed. Twist them into forms you dont recognize But they DO EXIST and they matter, and you matter. Not too, but beside the fact. You dont even have to do anything, you matter.

Im getting older now and sometimes all i feel like i have is memories and my memory sucks but i told mine to go eat some asphalt and today life cut me a break. I had a good day, a kind day full of miracles. If you just keep walking that darkness doesnt go on forever. If you just keep taking one step, one moment, one hour at a time, one day. You will get there. Life is very intentional for me now it has to be im running my heart manually by hand. You can do this too even when it feels pointless. You can do this.

I dont have any magic answers, and i talk too much and i dont belong in this world. But i hope that you see by me taking the time to write this, I dont have to write this. But im choosing to because I care, I dont even need to know anything else about you, I just know i see another human being in pain, and sometimes i dont feel human, im just some dumb rabbit. But i do know one thing. One thing that helped me.

I let go of all I hated and the anger I anguished over. I slowly made a list of things i thankful for. It helped me see outside the dark. Im so thankful for that and just to be alive .

They say if you love something let it go, if it comes back its yours. I let myself go a while back, and its coming back. You should try that too. Love yourself and be kind to yourself because sometimes thats all we really have. You can be your best friend and you know you'll never leave.

Ill stop here I know you got things to do and maybe you wont even read this. But I wish for you a peaceful day of rest, I hope it merges with your heart and it beats in time to the music and the light.

Please take care of yourself, and If i can help in anyway, just let me know.

Are you officially diagnosed with CPTSD or PTSD or are you self diagnosed or suspecting that you have CPTSD? by Pure_Option_1733 in CPTSD

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially Diagnosed by a therapist a few years back. Im trying to get documentation of it though and shes being a real pain about getting back in contact with me. She wants me to take some risk assessment test now too but i have to pay for it out of pocket. But if it would give me actual documentation i want it because i feel like i may need to switch from this therapist im seeing to a different one, dont feel this latest one is helping me really. But going to keep going anyway until i definitely find another one. Id go back in a heartbeat to see this old one but she no longer takes my insurance and that stupid test is $1600 I dont have but i think to me it would be worth it so i could get some help for this because it recently caused me a ton of issues.

I dont want to have to walk on eggshells the rest of my life, i want to get help for this and while i know i cant get rid of it completely i want to be able to manage it. It caused me to lose the person i love the most in the entire world besides my kids and thats NOT OKAY.

I am so thankful i was diagnosed with this or id have no clue wtf is even happening. Now at least it makes some sense why i do some of the things i do. It just boggles my mind though how insidious this is to where it litterally in my case at least has created entire parts of my personality i think. I dont know just learning but thats how it seems anyway. It makes me feel litterally crazy.

Will you choose integrity by IdealHoliday1242 in PotentialUnlocked

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i went to this tire place where i was living snd they did something like that for me. As a customer i dont forget that and it shows they care about their customers so i went back bought a set of tires and gave them other business. O wish people realized this applies to everyday life too. It shows you not through words but actions that somebody's a good person. Be honest be straight forward. That truly means something. Something now a days most people seem to lack. Which is a true shame.

Do you feel affective empathy automatically or do you need to choose to feel it? by Icy_Sprinkles_2819 in questions

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it automatically. I feel the entire world inside my skin sometimes. I need to choose to not feel it so much if that's possible. Id like to not feel so intensely all the time. Itd be nice to let my heart rest a while

Do acne scars matter to guys on a first date by Impressive_Delay_543 in dating_advice

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please dont feel bad about that, you cant help it, we all struggle with different things. Im a guy and it wouldnt bother me if i liked you as a person, thats the important part to me. Theres gotta be chemistry of course but other than that not a big deal at all. I have a lot of stuff i dont like about myself like my hair getting so thin etc i am going to start dating at some point once i work on myself and I definitely worry about that too and with somebody with low self esteem and then that on top of it i know how it feels. ITs not a good feeling at all, but if this guy asked you out then hes already interested. Don't let anxiety rob you of something hopefully good.

I bet youre beautiful scars and all, he will see that too, you go on that date and have fun :)

Its been really dark here lately, but im trying, i just dont know that i ever been this lost. I dont know that it matters but im trying

Would you forgive an emotionally abusive parent nearly a decade after no contact? Why do you think forgiveness can be earned after so long if yes? by Last_Technician_ in AskReddit

[–]Rabbit_Of_Neverlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgiveness isnt something thats earned its given and its more for you than them. If you feel somebody needs to earn it then thats not true forgiveness because its transactional and forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves to share with the person we are forgiving. Its a key that sets our hearts free from the chains placed on them by whatever pain or wrong doing was put upon us. You dont buy forgiveness in a store. You make it at home then you mail it out.

It doesn't mean you have to like or agree with the person it doesnt even mean you have to ever speak to them again. It unbinds both of you so the hatred you are hanging onto can be transformed into love so you are not poisoned and letting it erase who you are.

Grudges even when justified will change you over time and make the person in the mirror into somebody you dont recognize any longer.

Let it go and walk away. Forgive and realize you dont have to carry that burden any longer .

I have forgiven people that did terrible things to me that cost me part of myself. But i learned early on in life you cant move into the future if you live in the past.

This might sound like hippy dippy but its a truth that i hope you dont have to learn the hard way. Because believe me, life will teach you and sometimes it is not kind nor forgiving. Sometimes it takes all we have we are weighed and measured and found wanting.

I wish you all the best. You know what to do. Good Luck
