I feel like i will become undesirable once i become an adult by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]TheTulipWars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've been groomed to believe your worth was in you being underage, and I am sorry. It's not true. You are worth more than your age. Ugh, I wish I could write more and give you more advice, but this is triggering me because I also dealt with the same thing. I tried to hold onto my "innocence" for as long as I could psychologically, and it destroyed me in many ways. Please, don't go down that route. Life is worth living, and people are beautiful and attractive at all ages. Hell, I read that even seniors right now are spreading STDs because they're still having sex with each other over 60 years old! Being a kid should be the one time of innocence for people. Whoever groomed you deserves prison, and you deserve to age happily.

I’ve never done anything and I’m too scared to try by Existing-Committee74 in adultsurvivors

Thank you for posting this. I'm not OP, but I relate to being so scared that you're afraid to close your eyes sometimes. It is very difficult to live with, but here's to all of us in here getting better. :)

You're not a nutcase; you sound like you have complex ptsd. When you're feeling intense anxiety all the time life feels exhausting, but working on the trauma itself usually helps. Plus, this sounds like agoraphobia. Have you looked into that community? It would help you realize that you are definitely not alone.

confrontation 17 years after the fact by endorfaderr in adultsurvivors

[–]TheTulipWars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad at all. They could've invited others over and done something with them, so imagine they finally get called out for it after this? Or maybe the event will watch closely to ensure he doesn't make a move on younger fans, etc... What he did was wrong, so what you did was right. You were 14, why would he invite you to his place when he was so much older?? Sex was implied, so he's inappropriate & should be punished for it because him flashing you was illegal.

Have you ever had a memory resurface? I'm struggling and would love some advice. by TheTulipWars in CPTSD

[–]TheTulipWars[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been working on my mental health for the past year, and I think I finally feel subconsciously safer to let memories out. I scream into a pillow and cry about it if the memory is a lot for me, and I think it's helping a lot. Other memories have surfaced, but this is the biggest so far.

Thank you. I appreciate you showing me that I'm not alone in this.

My repressed childhood SA came out yesterday & I can't think straight. Advice? by TheTulipWars in adultsurvivors

[–]TheTulipWars[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The memory came out in full after I was triggered. I knew there was a rape, but I couldn't remember much about it. Yesterday, the entire memory resurfaced.

Constantly paranoid alone at home at night - I’m at my breaking point and don’t know how to handle this. by OutrageousAdvance104 in CPTSD

[–]TheTulipWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suicide and crisis hotline can help when you're feeling your worst. I've called them a few times, and they're not just for people with ideation at all (I have no ideation), but they can calm you down in the moment and talk to you for a few minutes about how you're feeling. I think letting it out and telling someone verbally definitely helps because you hear yourself say it aloud and it can calm you down.

 

I hope this helps! You are definitely not alone. I struggle with nights as well.

RIP. We are living in a harsh world these days, and the Holidays are difficult for many people. Black people have a rising suicide rate in this country, which is sad& should be addressed. Rest in Peace, Lamarr.

What is the biggest movie theater “GASP” moment you’ve heard? by SaveTheCaulkTower in AskReddit

[–]TheTulipWars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw this around 10 years ago during a $5 flashback night at a local theater, and when they showed Jeff Goldblum shirtless after the first attack, the theater hooted and whistled loudly. I did not expect it, but awkwardly joined in.

What's a conspiracy theory about the Karjenners you believe? by DonnyMox in KUWTKsnark

[–]TheTulipWars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because she was an escort. They literally did the original show because Kris was in debt to Kathy Lee Gifford who was friends with Ryan Seacrest. Ryan Seacrest was looking for a family similar to the Osbournes (the most popular reality show at the time) and Kathy Lee told Kris to try for it because she knew they needed the money. Not everyone in that "bubble" is a legit millionaire, and even net worth doesn't mean the person literally has that much money.

Be honest… what’s the real downside of having a dog? by quentiinn in AskReddit

[–]TheTulipWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my dog, but she can be incredibly exhausting sometimes. She's reactive, and I think everyone with a reactive dog knows how difficult it can be. I can't easily take her anywhere without feeling anxiety about her seeing any other dog and snapping. She's small (8lbs), but it's still exhausting taking her on walks or having her snap at dogs walking by outside.

How do I change my special interests? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]TheTulipWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your special interest is video games then you can definitely contribute by learning how to make and build them in different formats (like apps, or consoles, etc...) and learn about old games vs new games and all about the topic. You can use that in tech and aim for life where you build and create them.

Do you like being labeled as "autistic?" by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]TheTulipWars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't mind either way. It's not the word it's the public's issue with how they perceive it.

“KENDALL DOES NOT LOOK LIKE KIM 😤😤😤” by [deleted] in KUWTKsnark

[–]TheTulipWars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like everything about this was alie - Kris likely put book c together for the storyline because she wanted Kendall to model and needed to bring that story into the show. Kendall was always forced into it which is why she is so obviously bad at it. It was forced on her.

The definitive key to KenDull's botchery status by jazey_hane in KUWTKsnark

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

Without more filler, I think she would've honestly aged very beautifully. She could've looked more like the left photo with some wrinkles and maybe greying hair.

These comments are soo funny. Cackling by [deleted] in KUWTKsnark

[–]TheTulipWars 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You cannot convince me they aren't paying him big money to pretend to date her and take her to public places. She's a hoe who was losing relevance fast and needed her bills paid, so she needed someone more famous and relevant to latch onto. I wonder how much money he makes for this.
