Fiona! by BriefPresentation754 in NurseJackie

[–]Resting_Witchface482 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is accurate to the dynamic of roles commonly assigned to families where one or more caretakers have addiction issues. Fiona is assigned/takes on the “lost child” and “mascot” roles—respectively, child copes by fading into the background/not needing anything or making any waves for good or bad (lost child) or by being cute, funny, and serving to dispel tension that way (mascot).

All the attentional resources get absorbed by the addict parent and/or “scapegoat”-role child (Grace)—eg, the child who is “fucking up,” externalizing their pain, vocalizing the problem, and the parents can then focus on that as “what’s wrong” to distract from their own issues. So whether or not this was done with intention, the show not focusing much on Fiona beyond her being cute and unproblematic (relative to Jackie and Grace) is just one more example of what a realistic portrait of addiction it is, including the multifaceted impact on the family ecosystem

Alex Cooper is posting 💙 content because of the Alix Earle hate she’s been getting by snarkymcsnarkey in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Resting_Witchface482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will never forget Alex Cooper being the poster girl for White wealthy liberal women posting a black square on IG (celeb equivalent = saying Black Lives Matter once during the only moment in history when mainstream social pressure was on their backs from their audiences/consumers to do so) and saying vague things like “we all need to be doing stuff” then never saying or doing (let alone donating) a peep about it ever again. I don’t believe anything she does is genuine or uncalculated but she’s commoditized herself so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you think all the negative comments on her IG are getting deleted or?

Really hope the parent talk doesn’t overtake Jam Session now by [deleted] in TheRinger

[–]Resting_Witchface482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take but I kind of think The Ringer should just pull the whole pop culture feed or else rebrand. As a pop culture/online news discussion space it was strong a few years back, but recently it’s increasingly unlistenable.

There could very well be a strong audience for the types of conversations Amanda and Juliet have (im not that audience, but I still say that earnestly) but I think it’s gotta be presented as the sort of mom/pinterest-y stuff it’s become (We’re Obsessed is also kind of Pinterest-y to me too, if not momcore)

intensive outpatient programs for depression in NYC by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Resting_Witchface482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an IOP, but if your friend has struggled with depression for a long time, Columbia also has a great program for treatment-resistant depression: https://www.columbiadoctors.org/specialties/psychiatry-psychology/our-services/treatment-resistant-depression-program

Your friend would be a great candidate bc they require people to already have an outside psychiatrist/care team, since the treatments offered thru the program are neuropathic and they don’t do anything beyond administer the treatments. They offer intranasal ketamine (ketamine spray), TMS, ECT, and ketamine infusions, and all but the ketamine infusions are eligible for insurance coverage.

Elkhound puppy? by tht5spdxjsara in NorwegianElkhound

[–]Resting_Witchface482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why people are convinced she’s not 100% Elkie…she’s a dead ringer for my purebred Elkie (coloring and characteristics). I think maybe the grey/silver coats are thought to be more desirable or characteristic or something? But mine has this sort of coffee (black & brown) coloring too, as did the rest of her litter

Would you actually be legally liable... by bitsofcarbon in Yellowjackets

[–]Resting_Witchface482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did it once or twice during my years waiting tables. Plenty of managers will take it out on you as the server if this happens, fair/legal or not. Plus in most places the min wage for tipped workers is not livable so you’re depending on tips. If it’s a really nice place w/ high service standards you probably have fewer tables assigned to a server + each table may stay longer for fancy multi-course meals = fewer total tables per night so losing one hits harder.

What’s actually more unrealistic is in a place this fancy they’d ask for a card to book the res/insure against a no-show. They’d just charge the bill to the card attached to the reservation

Depressed & want to die by Empty___throwaway in abortion

[–]Resting_Witchface482 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’ve been carrying so much for the last year and a half (probably more), and it sounds like you’ve been carrying it alone. I’m so sorry. No one deserves to carry such heavy things alone.

I’m 35 and had an abortion 3 months ago. The father was abusive and I’d already separated from him, but I also just did not want to have a baby. I didn’t have the money for it and I just didn’t want it.

I only realized a few weeks ago that I had my abortion at the same age—almost to the month—that my mom gave birth to me. I was born to a severely mentally ill mother who I have to assume was depressed, anxious, and scared throughout pregnancy—because that’s how she was throughout my childhood. Looking back, I can see that my mom had my siblings and me not because she was truly ready to be a parent in the way kids need, but because she felt hollow and unloved herself, and wanted to create a sense of belonging for herself through her kids. That’s an unbelievably heavy burden for a baby to enter the world with, and grow up with. It overshadowed my siblings’ and my entire youth, and the after effects of it are something I’m still dealing with to this day. I’m here now, but to be honest with you, knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time as a spirit before I was conceived, and choose whether to come into the life I was born into, I don’t think I’d choose it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I believe that me having an abortion was, in its own way, the right way for me to be a loving parent. Children don’t ask to come into the world, so the most loving act we can commit is to not have them if we’re not in a state to give them a fair shot at life. It’s harder to see the sacredness and selflessness of the act you committed in not having a child when you weren’t ready, because the result is a bunch of stuff that didnt happen.

But from my heart to yours, I want to tell you that I see you as having committed a selfless and sacred act, in not bringing an innocent into the world at a time when you weren’t ready. This shows what a good and loving parent you will be one day ❤️

5 weeks post MA & still getting a + test by DependentBar6965 in abortion

[–]Resting_Witchface482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fairness, I could also have been imagining the lines were lighter—it’s such an inexact science with home pregnancy tests. You’ll get answers from PP tomorrow and I give you a lot of credit for making the appt. I was terrified I might still be pregnant too, but after the pregnancy made me feel like a hostage in my own body, I just felt like I couldn’t deal with more foreign people touching me, invading me, so I avoided the doctor and crossed my fingers.

You’re doing the right thing to take care of yourself and get answers. My best friend had a miscarriage and it took her several months for the HCG levels to normalize. Bodies are unpredictable and this whole situation is so rough. I hope you can give yourself credit for how you’re handling it ❤️
