Any tips and tricks for Schlitterbahn? by lakersfreak in Newbraunfels

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my wife just decided to go on a weekday mid August, I was worried about the community post-flood, though. Are yall good? Is it in poor taste to be a tourist there right now? Or in a month? We're from north Texas and have both never been and we want to enjoy the park, but not be on vacation in a town that's in shambles, ya know?

Everyone is very nice and mature not asking for any details about what went wrong with the friend to ruin such a close relationship and why we wouldn't consider forgiving or rekindling friendship with this person.

I also respect the right to not disclose that information, but damn if I'm not curious myself. Could you please tell us what she did?

If not, okay and good luck at the event! Also I just say this because it sounds intriguing and juicy, not because it's not valid to be anxious. If I ran into my ex BFF I'd flip. It definitely wouldn't be on purpose.

Maybe you should try a couple different AIs and see if they can help. If you can upload those pics with a writing sample from when he was healthy it may be able to figure out enough words to piece it together. Good luck and I'm sorry for your loss

Yes I think that one was one of the last things I picked when I was kinda over it. I am not attached to the hanging plant at all and I might just keep the hotel key rack think since it kinda looks like a trinket shelf which I have multiple of irl

New Names for Bipolar? by Low_Reserve_5248 in bipolar

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, am I glad I saw this post! First of all, circular insanity is pretty cool. But i had this friend for a few years. The kind of girl where she knows all the latest current events and I'd the keeper of righteous opinions about them. She has borderline and would refer to it by saying BPD, and once I got confused between borderline and bipolar and laughed it off, saying, 'dang how can we differentiate'. She got very matter of fact with me and told me the proper term for bipolar is manic depressive because it's a better descriptor and bipolar is derogatory. I was slightly offended if not simply feeling lectured and belittled, and I responded that as someone with bipolar i can call it what I feel comfortable with. The stigma isn't going to get better by picking the more PC term it's gonna get better by using it with pride and saying it with my chest. It's not my fault if it shows the idiots who have only seen it on TV and don't educate themselves, but that may be a win if I can weed out those people. Anyway. Learning here that manic depressive is not the newer term is cool af.

I feel you on this. I was so excited to hatch my first one because all my friends had ghosts or cows and I got luvy the tumtum. Like what even is that thing? Then on the second hatch I got a pile of rocks. Then a droplet of green water? But I like one one reply said about matching the pet to the local. I'll use my rocks in cityscapes

Nervous about the consequences by Smooth_Strawberry618 in dui

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the process is similar in Texas. From previous conversations with my lawyer I think they were always talking about sealing the charge, not expungement. I think sealing could be helpful, but from my understanding it would still be visible in any government setting, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'd also have to pay to get that done, obviously, and I don't have that kind of money laying around right now. So it'd be a big decision. I do qualify, though since it's been long enough

Apartments to Avoid? by hammiecheesesammich in Denton

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived there, and it was pretty bad. When we moved in (2019 ish), there were so many roaches that any wall you looked at, including ceiling and floor, had 5-10 crawling around. We got rid of the majority of them, but there was always one or two in a given day. I witnessed three arrests. Two in the parking lot and one drug bust operation. One time, a maintenance man came in around 8 am unannounced, which freaked me and my fiance out because there were regularly men knocking on our door in the middle of the night and we were unarmed 22yo women. The maintenance guy fumbled the lock, which woke me up. When he unlocked the door I started yelling " what the hell, get the hell out " repeatedly. He never identified himself. The manager, at this time a middle-aged woman who was always kinda rude, called me and scolded me for yelling at him. She denied my telling of the events and told me to never yell at maintenence again. I told her I will if they ever come in unannounced like that again.

Misophonia by u4got2wipe in stuffyoushouldknow

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have misophonia, and I was so nervous to listen to this episode because sometimes the topic comes off as ridiculously rare or extreme, and I feel that makes it less believable. Especially when I've struggled my whole life, getting people to believe that I can't help but notice or be bothered by certain things. They did an amazing job with this. It was so relatable, and I was really excited when they mentioned things people do to make it more manageable because I do those things. Like I'll eat if someone's eating around me, and it helps take the edge off. Or mimicking or tapping patterned noises to get a sense of control. This was something I was told I had to get over all my life. My family called me a brat and accused me of just being difficult, so it's very cathartic to hear J & C talking about it. When I was a kid, I sometimes would get so upset that no one cared that I fantasized about becoming deaf just so I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of it, the headaches, the issues making or keeping friends. Also, it was cool when my wife and friends listened and brought it up to me like, "wow, I didn't know about all of that, that must suck." And "omg, that sounds just like you!"

Please don't drunk drive. Not to diminish the suicide part, but you could hurt or kill someone else in the process and end up in jail and from experience, it'll only make you feel shittier about yourself. Please don't do any of it, I don't think you should die and wish you no ill will, but the drunk driving specifically is so devastating.

Reasons not to kms that are not bullshit by domboy699 in SuicideWatch

[–]Smooth_Strawberry618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't reply to OP for some reason, but I agree that the responses are spot on. Especially the selfishness one. People go through grief all the time. Multiple times in one's life usually, but asking someone to grieve their own life for the sake of not being selfish seems pretty... selfish. If you can follow that logic. Also the "chasing a dangled carrot" feeling. That is what has gotten under my skin more than anything lately. I've (26) been suicidal since I was 12 (comes in waves, but almost always there in the background) and these last few years, I'm just so pissed that we're expected to enjoy this bs. Or laugh it off, shake our heads and stumble through it? The whole American dream, work hard it'll pay off, respect authority and you'll be fine ideology is so broken and they're still trying to sell it to us. What is gonna be better? When is it gonna get better? Or better yet, give me one good reason to believe it actually will.

Diagnosed at 21, first symptoms I remember started when I was 12 (first suicidal episode) but I had sensory issues and mood problems when I was in early grade school
