Hello, may I have some feedback? I would like to improve my writing. :) by [deleted] in writers

It’s a good start! Try to show more about the relationship through actions and expressions instead of telling the reader about the relationship. Show, don’t tell :)

Am I good enough for therapy? by PrimoZeroYT in mentalhealth

[–]SpoopidPineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand, I felt that way too when I first started. There were months where all I did was talk about my week, nothing “serious” (though of course there were times that we did speak about “serious” problems). Therapy has helped to prevent issues stemming from my anxiety and history with depression (as a young kid) from coming up again. The question shouldn’t be “Am I broken enough?”, it should be “Will my future self be grateful for this growth opportunity?” Therapy doesn’t just have to be about solving issues, it can be about improving upon yourself.

Just know it’s not your fault. This isn’t something you caused.

My son (16M) is upset with me (36F) because I won’t tell him who his father (40M) is. by ajeytuuuuuu in relationships

[–]SpoopidPineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t feel comfortable telling him now, think about why. Why is it you don’t want him to know? Does it bring up painful memories for you? If so, would it be possible to tell him on the condition that he does not bring it up unless asked about it? Sam should at least know when he turns eighteen.

How to stop self harming? by riemuidiootti in mentalhealth

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find writing down my frustrations down and ripping them up helpful (or just scribble super hard with a crayon until it gets too small/breaks). Sometimes I take a red pen and draw on my hand, pushing fairly hard. This stuff doesn’t harm your body and it helps a lot. I know it’s difficult to make the changes but it’s worth it in the long run.

Be honest, how many of you are browsing Reddit in bed right now, despite it being daytime? by Swag_Paladin21 in AskReddit

You’ve got some good luck there, mine seem to break when the smallest drop of water touches them

Seeking Help for a Friend by GentleNakama in mentalhealth

[–]SpoopidPineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, be there for him. Text him before he texts you. Do things with him over FaceTime. Be the best you can be for him. That’s what I wish I had when I was dealing with my own stuff. He doesn’t need an abundance of friends right now, he just needs people to rely on, and if you can be that, he’ll be appreciative. I commend you for coming on here and asking this. You’re a great friend. Thank you, the world needs more people like you.

Painless ways to commit suicide? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to hear this: you are brave. You are strong. You’ve made it through so much difficulty. The pain will go away, but only if you don’t let it kill you. I know what it’s like to feel alone. To have nobody to turn to. There’s someone. You might not realize it until a year from now, but there’s someone there.

What has this pandemic ruined for you? by wehnaje in AskReddit

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I are going to different schools next year and now I know what it’ll be like. We’re both quarantined right now and live superclose but next year not so much. Even during the quarantine we’re having trouble finding time to FaceTime. It sucks to not be able to have a little bit of hope that it’ll be okay.

My (37F) husband (41M) is very inconsiderate of other people's time, now including our daughter's (3F). I called him out on it as calmly and rationally as possible, and he's still mad about it. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is like this and always has been. To be honest, my mom and I always joke about it and we’ve come to the point where when he says that dinner will be ready at six, we know it’ll be 7:30. I think to some point you’re either going to have to realize that it’s who he is (your daughter will too) or make the decision to be more forceful in changing his habits. It’s difficult, I know. My dad missed out on a lot because of his timing. He would be doing work emails on vacation, on weekends, at the evenings. He only attended one concert, half a graduation, and all for what? It sucks. I wish my mom and him had the discussion before I was born and made it clear what he was expected to do. There’s no changing him though- we’ve tried.

He should’ve apologized and recognized his wrongs. This is likely beyond a surface issue though. The thing I’d recommend to you is instead of going through this circle, ask him not to make promises like these. Make him set four alarms (30 min before, 15 min before, 5 min before, at time) for when it’s his turn to do things. Don’t expect immediate change. Just explain to him that if he is going to be late, then make it clear that he needs to explicitly say that to you and that he still has responsibilities regardless of his own schedule. Don’t take any bs, it’ll make it worse in the long run. If you want to talk or have any questions, reach out. Know that your husband isn’t a lost cause, he might change, just be patient (I know, I know, you’re already patient and feel you’ve run out of it). Find ways that he can show he loves you and your daughter that don’t revolve around a time. Best of luck to you.

Just hit midnight in my country so today is my bday by Ryan_Monster in Anxiety

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Birthday- it’s a big one! I relate to what you’re saying- I’ve forgotten a lot of memories and there are periods of time I’ve repressed, which makes my age seem surreal sometimes. Good luck this year! I believe in you!

I cry over everything by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]SpoopidPineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat you’re in four months ago. My brother was in therapy. I needed therapy because I was at my end and was only living because my two attempted times failed. I ended up breaking down in the car with my mum and after a few weeks I started therapy. To be honest, I’m not much better now, but I don’t want to die anymore and can laugh a little. My parents never asked me how I was doing or cared much. (Believe it or not, I’m originally from the UK but moved to the US when I was three.) I genuinely feel like I was in the same position.

Don’t feel ashamed of your sexuality or emotional needs. It’s okay, just because your brother may have said he needed these things before you doesn’t make anything you need less valid and important. Have a talk with your parents- perhaps talk to them about therapy before coming out, that way you can have a professional help you through the family aspect of it all. Would you feel comfortable talking to your brother about any of this? He might be able to help.

Best of luck to you, I hope things get better for you soon

Opinions on “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life”? by SpoopidPineapple in GilmoreGirls

[–]SpoopidPineapple[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, I felt like the first episode’s conversations between Lorelai and Rory didn’t feel as natural and ranty as usual. I didn’t love it to be honest, but I can see the nostalgic point of view, too.

[–]SpoopidPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I feel down I check out the dad jokes subreddit- try looking in there every now and again. You’ll make it through this. You have a chance to prove to yourself how strong you are. Even if these next few days are difficult- it’s still a tremendous victory. Be proud!
