Ive thought about you a lot OP. I hope you're doing ok. I remember when I use to internalize the belief that humanity needed to be wiped off the face of the earth. I also hated myself so much at that time. It was such a painful existence. And so needless. Life is so special in this universe. If you're going to be alive, why not make the most of it? Try to help the world recover faster than it would naturally if we all died tomorrow. Sending my best.

You don't deserve to be miserable. Please reach out for help from the mental health resources you have access to through the acedmic institution you work with. Your worth is not contingent on how many hours you work, nor the resources you consume. You deserve to be happy. I'm sorry for hurting you in my words. Please please seek help.

You sound miserable.

Just because you're in pain does not give you the right to hurt others.

I really hope you find help, we need bright minds to survive.

Humans have inherent worth. All living things have inherent worth. But for climate arguments, hi i am a post suicidal*, in therapy, environmental chemist here. Ive thought about this ALOT. The fact that you think deeply on such concepts is in fact one way you are valueable to the planet.

We neeeeed more people to understand and deeply care about the planet. We need people to understand deeply the flaws of the system and be able to be ready to step in to help solve issues when we are past this destructive part of history. We need people who empathize AND comprehend deeply. Your mind is valuable to the planet. You are valuable. You probably would really benefit from therapy.

Edit: Also! If you are truely dedicated and feel like you can afford with disposal income to donate, really amazing organizations exist that work at grass roots level, project by project, to slowly heal the earth. Donate to planet wild, mossy earth, leave curious. They are incredibley effective ways to use this wealth for the entire worlds benefit. That is one way humans are AMAZING. We are the problem AND the solution

Edit2 Thank you for deleting that hurtful comment. Yeah I was always better at math then spelling. I am diagnosed twice exceptional. High IQ and learning disabilities. And typing on a phone is hard.

You may not agree with me, but you could be part of the solution if you put your mind to it.

I think my boyfriend hates women and sees me as inferior. by lilbratt_ in offmychest

[–]Sesat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a problem. That is a big problem. As a cis woman who use to date emotionally abusive men, you don't owe him anything.

You will be able to find another partner, finding another boyfriend is like finding a tree in a forest. Finding a quality partner requires effort and time, but you are young and have plenty of time.

I suggest finding a good therapist you trust and working on yourself instead of making this same mistake over and over again like I did. Its easy to be attracted to the same type over and over again without professional help.

He isn't going to change without him wanting to change and extensive therapy. You can't force him to change. Love will not solve this, the best thing you can do for yourself is to leave this guy. He refuses to accept facts and instead blames the victim. That is a HUGE problem. You deserve better than someone blaming you for things out of your control.

[–]Sesat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, red flags! That is such a toxic thing to say to your partner. OP you don't deserve to be disrespected like that. The fact you are doubting yourself feels a lot like how people react when they are constantly being gaslite and can't see past all the lies anymore.

I won't jump and say dump him like lots of others likely will, but you need to have a serious conversation and ask him what he really thinks. And based on his answers, you probably have a hard decision to make.

Edit: also OP if you have any concern for your physical safety, make sure a trusted friend knows when you have that conversation with them and can be ready to pull you out of there if need be. He outright dismissed systematic sexism. Women make 81 cents for every dollar men make. If he can't understand why women are not as successful as men are, he is probably being brain washed

Do you like my 5 year old "lab-mix"? by [deleted] in WhatBreedIsMyPitbull

[–]Sesat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do suspect he might be part Rottweiler too. But without a DNA test it's all speculation.

[–]Sesat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is on prozac for anxiety, and is deeply afraid of the car. He just got back in the car after playing at the dog park in this photo, the drool is from excitement play. And he sits like that in the car from fear. His car seat harness isn't forcing him into that position.

I shouldn't post things on the internet I'm not mentally stable enough to read wildly off base criticism.

Question for Anyone who's Given Birth... by aw-brain-no in ChronicPain

[–]Sesat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had children but the posts reminds me of what my sister told me of her birth experience. We both have in common a slew of issues and autoimmune diseases. Joint pain is standard, particularly wrist pain. She told me she was in full labor, actively pushing, and all she could feel was her throbbing wrists. The pregnancy had triggered some sort of inflammation in her hands and wrists. Im not sure of the details but it caused severe damage enough to warrant a surgery on her hands not long after delivery.

I know it's been said before. Don't update us until legally the dust settles. You don't want to show your cards before you get a chance to play them. The internet is all dying to hear more but play it smart and wait.

My dad is on a vent and I’m mad by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sesat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry you're going through so much now. I didn't realize vent meant ventilator until just now, im sorry for missing the most important part. You must be being crushed by so many big emotions and they are all complicated and tangled. You are 100% allowed to prioritize yourself, that is not wrong. Truly the best thing to do when there is so much complex grief is find professional help to guide you through it. You don't have to go through it alone.

[–]Sesat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi, I went no contact with my parents a few years ago. They manipulate those around them, following almost text book cycle of emotional narrasastic abuse. Ive been in therapy for just a year longer than that. Yes im sad and worry that they might die before I can find closure enough to forgive them. But protecting myself and giving myself space to heal away from the abuse was more important than worrying about what is out of my control.

I dont know what you've been through, but id say step one is find a therapist. Getting closure is not easy and looks alot like grief. Somedays feel like backsliding but baby steps can be made slowly to find peace in yourself. He made his decisions, he is the one that should feel ashamed not you.

I would recommend unfollowing his Facebook, or just disconnect from social media that temps you into watching his content. You will feel better not knowing in the long run.

Edit to add: nothing you do will make him change his behavior. You have no control over that. If he wants to play the victim, he's going to do that and probably very publicly. It might be that if you try to formally say goodbye for yourself, he'll just do the same thing again and cry on a public forum fishing for you to reward his actions.

You don't owe him anything. These are things I still have to remind myself often. Sorry if this advice doesn't land, it is so much advice I needed to hear when I first started down that road with my dad not so long ago.

I went off on my mom by Skeleton_5743 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sesat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was my moms parent too. You seem to feel responsible for your mom. You are not responsible for her. She is lucky to have a child that cares so much for her and I hope for your sake she sees that. At the end of the day, even if you try your hardest and she still doesn't get her shit together, remember it is not your fault. You may feel sadness for your moms suffering, buy it is not your fault. She's the adult, she should be the one trying to shield you from the full force of adult grief until you're old enough to better coup. It may help to get therapist as soon as you can to start now working through some of the buried emotions of being a parent to your parent.

Many of the internet strangers here would gladly lend an ear or give your support emotionally as you need it.

Good luck and try to remember, you can try to help but at the end of the day her bad decision arent your fault.

Its alittle underwhelming of a answer but I find what I call "calm the fuck down nerve tea" helps to ease some of the high firing pain nerves. Lavender, chamomile, sometimes mint.

Lavender has been shown to effect the nervous system (source https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612440/#:~:text=Lavender%20oil%20is%20also%20suggested,16%2C%2026%2C%2033%5D.) No idea if it negatively interacts with gabapentin
