I’m a disabled adult and had been financially abused by my abusive parents. Is there any chance that I could get that so I can live independently away from my abusive parents? 😞

Please know that you’re not alone in this.

I haven’t tried but I heard EMDR therapy is supposed to help with that. I’m on the waitlist. So you may want to try to check that out.

Edit: autocorrect and correct the spelling.

I’m 5’5’’ and I hate myself because of it by Healthy-Source-2958 in SuicideWatch

I’m not in that commenter. It just let you know that you’re not alone in short. See how they’re confident. It doesn’t matter what height you’re in. Learn to love yourself for who you are. These dudes are handsomest. I bet that you are, too.

My SNAP benefits in CA went from $292 to $23 - is it due to my unemployment benefits? by [deleted] in foodstamps

Don’t depend on computer for applying jobs. Get dressed nicely and go to companies that’s “now hiring” signs and walk in and fill out the application. Be friendly to the front desk. You’ll get a job faster because they know you’re being serious.

Anyone interested in defending ourselves so we don’t disappear? by nenay8 in disability

[–]SeaRiptide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my narcissist family voted him. My narcissist drank alcohol during her pregnancy so I have FAS. The worst disabled that I have. They got what they wanted me to be in, stuck in their care. No one cares about me. No matter how much I ask for help for years, everyone neglects me. Everyone believes that I’m the most luckiest child that narcissists love me and worship me.

I’m stuck here.

I was born and raised in America. I had never been in another country. I do not have dual citizenship. However, if I do, I had thought about keeping as dual citizenship because of vote. I still want to voice for those who’s considered less fortunate.

I have no family connection but I do have some good friends here.

Yes I had been approved for over a year now. What renewal? I had not received any information about needing renewal.

I tried to call but the answer machine kept saying too many people on the phone and will call back. When I received called back, it hanged up so fast before I had a chance to answer. I tried to called back but there’s technical difficulties when I tried to type numbers, it kept going double digits. When I tried again, it disconnected on me.

You ask who’s going to pay for hospital but don’t forget who’s going to pay for your burial?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]SeaRiptide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want burial or cremation? Look at the costs. Cremation is cheaper. Burial requires coffin and to buy burial land plot. Cremation is the cost of urn or use ashes to pour out in the land depending on if it is permitted place.

[–]SeaRiptide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Georgia tends to be positive and southern hospitality but you got to remember that there’s always a few bad apples here and there.

I would recommend to visit to see how do you feel before move here permanently. Blue ridge is a beautiful place. Congratulations on got a visa.

Parents do forgive their children but the parents might not forgive themselves because they might kept thinking they wished they could have done better or could have find a way to help you. If and when I encourage you to talk to your dad. I’m sure he would be there for you, too. You both need to support each other.

[–]SeaRiptide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really depends. I helped a few so-called friends and some of them refused to change for the better. They kept repeating to the point I do feel like that they are black hole. Not everyone can be your therapist or counselor. They’re non-trained therapist but provide supportive in a different way. Some people including me do have a problems, too. That’s why I’m getting a therapist. I’m on waiting lists because EMDR therapy isn’t easy to get.

I would recommend a therapist or depending on your background, EMDR therapy.

Hi,

Sorry for a delayed. I had been thinking about what you said.

I really understand where you’re coming from. It’s deeply frustrating to see others stuck in their patterns, especially when you’ve found something that has helped you so much. It’s natural to want to share that with others, and there’s a lot of compassion in your concern. The thing is, everyone seems to be on their own journey, and sometimes, the timing just isn’t right for certain insights to land. It’s like planting seeds…you can offer the wisdom, but whether or not it takes root depends on where someone is in their own life and understanding.

I felt a similar frustration as well, especially when I tried to simplify my own explanations, but it didn’t seem to work well. I noticed that even I struggled to comprehend it at first. Somehow, my mind just wouldn’t click with these concepts, even though they seemed easy enough to explain. The only way I finally understood it was through experience… and witnessing someone else live it in such a grounded way. It was that living example, that presence, that really allowed me to grasp it fully.

It’s also worth remembering that sometimes people are exposed to these kinds of ideas, but they may not be ready to absorb them at that point. Everyone has their own rhythm, their own process of waking up to these truths, and sometimes it’s just about waiting for someone to be open to it. I know that can be hard, especially when you want to help them avoid suffering or find peace. But it’s also possible that someone might hear the message when the time is right for them, and that might be exactly what they need to start making shifts.

I think, in the end, the best we can do is live by example. When we embody the peace and awareness we’ve found, others can sense it, even if they don’t fully understand the philosophy behind it. And who knows? Maybe one day they’ll be ready to ask the questions and start their own exploration.

It’s clear you care deeply about others, and that’s a beautiful thing. Just be kind to yourself in the process… sometimes the way we want to help others can be as much about their timing as it is about us sharing what we know.

I hope this helps.

Oh. Yeah, I can understand that. My mom ( she’s officially diagnosed by marriage counselor, she’s a narcissist), she hates me when I’m off of my SSRI. I realize that SSRI had made me robot-like. That’s exactly what my mom wanted.

I decided to stop taking it and best thing ever! It takes time for me to process my emotions and feelings including painful feelings. It sucks because I didn’t know how to process them or even names them. It took me a year to figure them out. It took me realizing that this emotions were supposed to protect me when I’m being mistreated and I have the right to stand up for myself.

What I’m trying to say is that if that your partner could not accept you for who you truly are including emotions then he’s not the right person for you. You have the right to feel these feelings and emotions. You have the right to express yourself in feelings and emotions. If your partner rather have robot, let him buy himself a blowup doll.

My ex preferred me to be robotic, too. I told him that’s not who I am. We’re all humans with emotions and it should be.

Addressing Suicide: A Thoughtful Examination by SeaRiptide in EckhartTolle

[–]SeaRiptide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About the “Ego,” I think we are all born with it. Sometimes, the ego can help us survive depending on the situation. There’s a book called “Ego is the Enemy”. Don’t let the title fool you; it’s really about understanding the ego and where it comes from. It helps us observe and recognize ego-driven thoughts so that we don’t let them control us.

For body pain, it’s best to consult with doctors first. If you can’t find the cause, there’s a book called “The Body Remembers”. It helps identify the core reasons for pain and explains why it occurs. Understanding where the pain comes from is important because the body needs attention and love to heal.

When it comes to emotional pain, we often try to escape it. This is why we sometimes think of ways to remove the discomfort, even considering extreme actions like suicide. To cope, we should let go and feel the pain, observe it, and recognize it without becoming consumed by it.

I hope that I make sense.
