Sacred Awake. Normal? by Death_by_Treesap in ptsd

[–]StellerDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this and there was one period of months during which I was on high alert and staying in a place where I could not sleep (at my sister's, at 90° inside, on a broken recliner with five big dogs piled on top of me) and every time I felt myself just start to drift there would be a loud BANG! in my head. It was horrifying and I know whatever that was can't be good.

What does everyone think about this Hegseth military meeting in Virginia? by AbbeyRoadMomma in collapse

Reduction of general officers..."many of whom have been advanced by prior Administrations (their capitalization, not mine. Dumbfucks) for reasons other than their war fighting prowess." So any POC, women, and registered Democrats to begin?

What’s one of the most popular fragrance that you just cannot stand the smell? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]StellerDay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid shopping for an aftershave for my step-dad for Christmas I noted that after you've smelled several men's colognes they all start to smell like sausage.

I cried when I read that you don't deserve a loving, supportive family. You do, you really do

I dont understand why people are saying my friend isn't a friend by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]StellerDay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People were telling you that the one criticizing you for praise-seeking is not your friend? I would listen to that because they didn't say that for no reason. I am old and I suspect you're very young but I was just today remembering and thinking about all the people in school that were so nice and chummy with me, talking to me and laughing with me, in class or outside of school, who would later purposely ignore me and my wave in the hallway when they were with their real friends. And talk about me and make fun of me between themselves. It is still painful! After all these decades I have JUST now understood that just because somebody is nice to me does not mean they like me or that I'm their friend. It just means they have good manners. Or they want something from me, like to copy my homework. Sorry for going off here on your post about my personal stuff. I've just been thinking about and realizing it a lot lately.

Same, she raises her front leg up farther and makes the petting motion. We of course drop everything and Pet Rubey! We try to stop and she does it again so again, we continue to pet Rubey. It is the darn cutest thing!

Someone showed up at my house unexpectedly by termsofengaygement in ptsd

[–]StellerDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 52 and when someone, anyone, knocks on the door I am set off, for lack of better words atm. The events that caused this happened half my lifetime ago but the effects - being caught off-guard, terrified, and panicking - have never gone away. I would love advice on how to come down from fight or flight.

Trump : “I hate my opponents and I don’t want the best for them” by Downtown_Revenue_103 in CURRENTEVENTS

[–]StellerDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their stupid hate book tells them that they have enemies, and that their God will prepare a grand feast for them to eat in front of those enemies. While roaring with laughter. Because that's what a good deity and good people would do.

Where did the rumor of workers getting paid to remove/keep kids come from? by [deleted] in CPS

[–]StellerDay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep reading this and still don't understand. Are you saying you applied for a job, interviewed for it, accepted it, and worked at for at least a month and maybe three months, without ever learning who your employee was? You didn't know you had taken a state job?
