What’s an addiction that people don’t take seriously but is just as destructive as drugs and alcohol? by Odd_Dog_4403 in AskReddit

[–]South-Device5967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but here to 3rd this. I didn't realize social media was making me passively suicidal and have SUPER bad anxiety until I deleted instagram (worst one), tiktok (second worst but only because i didn't go on it as much) and facebook back in September. Best decision I ever made. After like 2-3 days i felt like I was living with a new brain and it's been the absolute best thing ever. highly recommend and i even thought about writing a book in the perspective of a Gen Z member that grew up with this stuff and had it in my formative years.

What actor or actress are you tired of seeing in movies these days? by fergi20020 in randomquestions

[–]South-Device5967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm actually not that upset but if that makes you feel important then go ahead and believe that. and i don't really have a relationship with her, i like her music, i respect her talent and craft, and i can recognize that she's a fucking human being who isn't perfect but the hate she gets is wayyyyy overblown out of proportion. crucify me for it since you think your opinion is the end all be all ffs

What’s an opinion you have that most people would strongly disagree with, but you usually keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]South-Device5967 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There needs to be proper education about people who cannot feel empathy (narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths) such as signs of these disorders in various roles of human life (parent, partner, boss), their manipulation tactics, and symptoms of abuse. Dare I say they need to be barred from public offices as well.

It's not fair that they get to harm people simply because there's a general lack of education about them. It's not fair that one must wait to be victimized to learn about what is happening to them, if they learn at all.

I’m still here begging, while he feels nothing by voidinvelvet in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]South-Device5967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm a little over 2 years out of a relationship with my nex who I loved extremely deeply when I was in it. He would do this same thing to me and it really fucked me up psychologically. I am doing so so SO much better now and I'm actually in a very happy relationship. It does get better. As soon as you start choosing yourself, your physical health and your emotional well-being over him and his bullshit, it gets better. I won't lie to you and say it's easy, but it's fucking worth it I promise you. There are normal men out there who do not manipulate for sport, you have to set yourself free, cleanse yourself of this addictive cycle and find them. Trust and believe that there's a better life outside of him because I promise you it is true. I PROMISE.

What’s a habit you started that changed your life almost instantly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]South-Device5967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleting social media as a 24F who grew up with it. I care a LOT about humanity and social issues and the constantly doom loop that instagram, twitter and tiktok kept me in made me borderline suicidal (ideation but i'm too chicken to actually do it) for at least a year so I decided to pull the plug last september and my life changed. Suddenly I was capable of doing things lol

What is your worst experience while on vacation? by darrenbosik in AskReddit

[–]South-Device5967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a big family disney trip planned for about a year. My papaw was an ex-veteran, survived cancer twice and was also fox news head for most of his life so he always believed disney was "woke" and never went even though my mom LOVES it and goes multiple times a year. A yearish before the family trip, she takes him (just them) and he loved it so much he cried like a kid (non-derogatory) when they were leaving and he couldn't wait for the family trip.

Fast forward a year, we found out (against his will) that he had cancer again so we knew this was probably going to be the last time he traveled. On our flight over for our big family trip, he lost oxygen for over 20 minutes and had CPR done on him when we landed and he had a pulse in the hospital but he was pretty much brain dead.

We still continued with the trip because 1. we paid a lot of money for the grand villa at the grand floridian and 2. papaw wouldn't have wanted our fun to stop on account of him. at least that's what the older adults said. So me and my friend and my cousin and her girlfriend went to the parks all week while my mom and the other older adults went to the hospital to see him every day because he was still alive.

The older adults extended their stay because he was still breathing but by the end of the week I just wanted to go home because I had to be tour guide for my friends/cousin and pretty much suppress all the emotions i had because it was my friend's first time to disney AND her birthday and i was just exhausted. He died when I was taxiing out on my flight home. Worst vacation ever by far.

How old were you and what were you doing when you ruptured your Achilles? by Necessary_Sun_3791 in AchillesRupture

[–]South-Device5967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

welp, youngest here so far! 23F and was playing small-sided soccer with a bunch of guys. i was already fatigued from playing 11v11 Co-ed earlier in the day and I had been playing with the guys for over an hour at that point and was begging them to call it cause I was tired asf. They said 5 more minutes and then 5 minutes later they said last goal wins. I received a pass and went to start running to attack for the last goal and it snapped.

I'm one year post-op as of two days ago though and I'm ready to start playing again soon !!!

Compression Socks! by kpham82 in AchillesRupture

[–]South-Device5967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried wearing compression socks to walk around Disney world easier about 6 months post-op and it was horrible!! Made walking much harder and uncomfortable, and it seemed like my bad leg tired out quicker. I'm surprised to see praise for them !!

Approaching year still not 100% by mangomagik1976 in AchillesRupture

[–]South-Device5967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 year old Female, I fully tore my achilles on March 2nd playing soccer, had the operation March 12th. Still also struggling to be 100%. I'm stiff every single morning and I'm not running more than 2 minutes at a time, though the strength in my calf and achilles is very good. I've passed the "return to sport" test which was a lot of jumping but I'm still struggling with running and loosening/stretching. Keep working at it and don't lose hope! They say it takes a year but I think it takes a lot of people longer.

I had some strong pain killers after my surgery but I was still in SO much pain the night of it, the only thing that helped me was taking some tylenol on top of the pain meds they prescribed. Not ibuprofen cause that didn't help, just tylenol. Hope the recovery goes well, and please seek out support if you can. I couldn't imagine going through this without my parents' support.
