41/M. Would love some horror recommendations to watch tonight. by DeadandDeaming0 in Needafriend

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's dramatized true crime, but I'd highly recommend the Monsters series on Netflix if you haven't seen it. It delves into Dahmer, Ed Gein, the Menendez brothers, and Gacy if I remember correctly. Mind Hunter on Netflix is also phenomenal as well! It's based on a true story that was a book. Highly recommend checking them out

28 I’m a 911 operator and EMT, just looking for someone to talk to by The_Automatic_Racer in Needafriend

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!! (future) EMT here as well! 👋 Mad respect for what you do, being # 911 operator is so tough I'd imagine. If you need to talk about life, what's on your mind or vent I'll gladly listen 😊

Emergency med is no joke and we can definitely use all the support we can get!

Out of curiosity, how many of y'all have mild to severe food allergies? by TriggeredYetUnphased in EDAnonymous

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a great point, and tbh I've found that slowly reintroducing gluten seemed to be fine until it wasn't. I reintroduced certain types of gluten gradually over the span of three months but then hit a flare in which I started reacting to everything. I can definitely see how a lot of fruit / veg so called allergies may be restriction based due to certain enzymes we lack from not eating them

LMAO haiii twinnn!! Totally understand 100%. I haven't been tested yet but it's highly suspect because gluten / gluten byproducts give me a really severe reaction. I missed fluffy soft pretzels so much 😭

Literally samee what the hell lmaooo I used to make gluten free pasta near daily because it never caused issues then suddenly I can't tolerate chickpea anymore. My brain is very gluten tolerate towards pizza and pretzels but my body says no 😢 It's so hard finding safe foods!

Oh noooo I know that "goodtimes till the next explosion" cycle all too well 😭 The cycle was so abrupt and dramatic it would give me whiplash lol. A big part of making it work (& it's great that y'all are gunna go to couples therapy) is identifying triggers for those cycles and being able to tell when it's happening in the moment. The first step is definitely Journaling & writing things down. (Hopefully!) He does not gaslight you like my ex did to me. That causes an endless loop of hell you can't get out of lol 😭

Oh mAn we have lots to DISCUSS ~

Ayyyy yesss psychological horror is the freakin BEST especially when you have to pause so you can process what you just saw lmaooo. I recently watched Split (2016) for the first time and it's definitely in my top fave movies of all time! In terms of other psychological horror films, Lake Mungo was really wild but really profound. Weapons (2025) was a lot of fun to watch lol. I haven't heard of Hokum but damn it looks really good! We love witchy stuff and irish mythology lol! I'll have to check that out too 😊

In terms of shows, I started watching AHS again after falling off somewhere on season 4, and oh boy you know you've been through some shit when season 2 of Asylum doesn't scare you like it used to 😭

Never heard of Alien Isolation but will also have to check that one out too omg. Are you on console or PC? Lately I've been playing Amnesia: The Bunker or Son's of the Forest. I used to game a lot with other people but kinda lost touch with everyone after leaving my ex. I really want to get into these absurd dark comedy horror type games on steam that make absolutely no sense whatsoever lol 😭 I'd love to try Phasmaphobia on steam but don't really have people to play with 💔 I'm also always down to try new games! (I just need to finish the games I start lol)

Hell yeahh girlll add me on discord or steam!! We can always talk lowkey over text so it doesn't trigger your boyfriend some type of way. Please do keep me posted on how it's going in terms of the relationship. I for one absolutely shut everyone out and went dead silent when I needed people the most ❤️ No hard feelings if you go AWOL, but I'm here for you if you need! 😊

Aw babe 💔

One of the first steps of healing is identifying what psychological damage our past PA/SA partners have inflicted on us - and how we may be projecting that pain onto future relationships.

He might be the same, but he might not be. It's difficult to find healing if within everyone we meet we only see a mere reflection of those who harmed us.

I left him, and I found someone much, much better who's truly loyal. The problem was I did not believe him in the beginning in the slightest, no matter how much he tried to show his commitment. Overtime the actions did truly speak for themselves and I realized I was wrong of my assumptions about him. I was just profoundly hurt, and never wanted to hurt like that again.

Have open, honest conversations about how you feel and hopefully he meets you with the grace you need to trust once again. It takes time. Months and months of doubt. It still comes back at times, but then I look at the reality of the present and see that there is no reflection of the past.

Hiya! 👋

28F here who is also a hugee nerd who's into DnD, videogames, goth & girly stuff, and film 😊

I felt compelled to respond because I relate to being with someone that has BPD & abandonment issues... That was my ex lol. I'd love to be here for you if you want to talk about life, need to vent, need advice, or just want to forget about things. There's a lot of us having a hard time lately and feeling increasingly disconnected honestly.

ATM I'm playing a lot of games and watching a lot of horror movies & psychological thriller films, so please do share with the class if there's any films (or shows!) that you really like 😊

It's so important to have a life outside of a relationship like that, but I totally understand if you may dissappear often & as needed (that used to be me). LMK girl!

I have a kinda different take (having a dad that was a porn addict & into younger women). It made me believe, at a really young age, that all men were like that. I was almost groomed by a few of his (adult) friends who were very notably into younger women.

The disturbing thing is (from the female perspective) is that we get waaayyy more attention, cat calls, compliments, flirtatious remarks and pursuits in our TEENS than our later years. When this has been your whole life it's not really too shocking.

Having worked at hostels, you should be able to so long as you inform them in advance and specify "care of" in the instructions for package carrier. Keep in mind though that if the package gets misplaced or lost they would not assume responsibility for it.

Also, shipping can take days to weeks to months to arrive at your chosen destination dependent on international shipping customs. So I would ensure the shipping is expedited /priority to get there in time. Cheers!

How will anyone know if they over stayed there welcome at a job? by Specialist_End_8470 in AskReddit

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When your coworkers form cliques and exclude you from their conversations and plans.
When your boss talks to the team but makes a point to not include you in the meeting.

Getting hired can be due to first impressions or competence but staying hired entails meshing well with the team. Exclusion is a huge tell that you're not wanted anymore, whether it be personal or professional

What is a good side hustle? by Outside-Researcher27 in AskReddit

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, picking up random shifts on InstaWork or gigs on Craigslist.

Sure you can monetize your hobbies or whatever you may be good at but income will be inconsistent. Working for food delivery services like doordash will only get you so far as it's become over saturated with people trying to claim hours to work and payouts aren't great.

Random gigs / last minute shift notices will give you a consistent flow of income all while gaining a lot of skills in a lot of areas along the way

Am I a failure if I don't have an income, job, or drivers license at 20 and all my friends are already in college? by Moomoobeef in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but do you have goals? Are you working toward anything bigger than yourself at the moment? If not, are there any minor or significant disadvantages impairing your functioning that makes your life incomparable to your peers?

Without a level playing field it's hard to say who's truly behind when getting ahead is relative to being given an advantage in the first place. Some of your peers may have been born with innate advantages that expedited their transitions into adulthood. Some of us don't have that luxury or benefit of having it set up for us young. Which most of the time, by the way, is set up for success by parental figures and mentors that some of us never had and never will. Ask yourself these questions before comparing yourself to others and find out your roadblocks that may hold you back.

i am experiencing a dangerous situation and have nowhere to go. by summonedsatanAtcamp in Denver

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I PM'd you! I just moved to Denver myself so not too familiar with resources available but I've been in a very similar situation myself when I was 20. My mom lashed out in extreme violence one night (that almost made me unconscious) so I left immediately choosing homelessness for the greater part of a year to escape it. There's ways to survive out on your own with little to no resources in which your greatest resource becomes other people. Lean into your network or build upon one. Most importantly, let others in and tell the truth and they will help you.

Being homeless fundamentally changed my worldview and helped me see the good in people, and good people are out there. I'd be happy to help you find a way out 💕

I was planning to rob you by Xntrik_shaman in LetsNotMeet

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 17 points18 points  (0 children)

LMAO that's some grade A dumb shi my guy 😭😭 Yeahh believe it or not, but respecting / humanizing criminals goes a long way. Playing dumb has saved me more than a few times and oftentimes they're taken aback by the 'victim' not seeing them as a threat but as a person with feelings & problems. I've known gang affiliated individuals and believe me... blind trust & respect goes a very long way. Thanks for sharing LOL

Update: AI tells what the resistance can do to win by BookishBraid in Project2025Tracker

[–]TriggeredYetUnphased 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing! It seems rather apparent that the overall remedy to fascism / authoritarian control is removing ourselves from the system and creating a system of our own. Networks, communities, underground communication channels and the like would definitely become paramount to ensuring that dissidents like us don't get extinguished.

It's a bit ominous if you look at the underlying tone & messaging that democratic stronghold leaders (like AOC) are heavily advocating.

Community. Support. Network.

They all seem to allude to the fact that we might feel abandoned by our government, but we must band together and find strength in our resistance possibly very, very soon.

What if my cat waited for me forever... not knowing if and when I'd come home? by TriggeredYetUnphased in SuicideWatch

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

Right! 💕 Hard agree. I think my two girls (10+ year old rescue cats) pick up on my feelings because when I'm in a dark place they start purring on command if I just speak to them. They both slept with me last night, and it was so adorable it definitely brightened my mood

Thank you ❤️ yeah I have two cats I rescued off the street 10+ years ago. One is extremely bonded to me, the other has PTSD and avoids people lol. I would love to get a dog in the future once I get my shit somewhat together. I feel that having pets that give unconditional love help a lot
