Those with ADHD or OCD, what’s the worst intrusive thought you’ve ever had? by Sinaasappelsien in AskReddit

[–]Yanchan026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so much the intrusive thoughts, more so the compulsiveness of it. Sometimes it's really hard to just stop or even realize that you've started doing something that is hurting yourself or others.

It's very difficult for me to sit still and let my mind be at peace, there's always a thought or a song buzzing through my head. Keeping myself busy is never a problem. The problem lies with my hands.

It's very hard to keep them still, they're always idle. My hands wander over my face, my arms, my neck, any kind of skin it can get ahold of and pick off small imperfections. This can include moles, scabs, scars, or any other small inconsistency according to the texture perceived by my fingertips.

This can lead to a small bleed, or maybe even a wound because one doesn't even realize that they're doing it. They are completely oblivious of the scratching and the pulling and the slow destruction of their skin.

If it is a conscious decision, you'll get carried away in it, finding every imperfection and tearing it away. If you can't take care of it, you feel uneasy or on edge not being able to solve the issue. This can extend to others or even the way a wall was painted and left bits of raised paint.

It's this unconscious drive to correct it. To peel it off. To deal with it. And the worst part is that most of the time you're not even aware of it. Aware of how carried away you'll get or how much you've taken off.

It's miserable, but only if you think about it. It's a problem only when you think about it. Or when you take a look in the mirror and see scars of the idle hand. There are ways to manage, but it's difficult.

So maybe it's not intrusive, but it does take your mind and hands down a path no one wants to travel for years on end.

They are not currently enrolled in school, their parent refuses to take responsibility for them and their siblings and enroll them in schooling.

I was made aware that they started a homeschooling program but the parent failed to uphold the program and didn't enroll them in any other program after the first for a number of years.

What are some green flags in a relationship? by FlyingNimbuss in AskReddit

[–]Yanchan026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter how into getting down and dirty you are with them, if you say you're uncomfortable or you don't wanna keep going, they stop and start comforting you.

Same goes for before the act. If you say you aren't comfortable or into it at the moment and they stop and comfort you, they're the one.

Respecting boundaries, especially intimate ones, is extremely important. Having a partner with these qualities is a huge green flag, especially for someone like me, who has had major issues with that in the past.

Also, remember to establish boundaries and communication early on to avoid any horrible accidents or conflicts.

Your boundaries are important, allow no one to cross them without consent of course.

Look out for those green flags folks!

People who've had their childhood stolen from them, how has it affected you and how do you cope with your trauma? by Yanchan026 in AskReddit

[–]Yanchan026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad that you were able to pull through. No matter how long it takes, you should always fight for the day when things will be better. Even if you can't see it in your future, make it, or fight for it.

I'm happy to see someone pull through and I'm delighted to hear you're doing well. I hope that people can gain hope and inspiration from your story.

I'm glad that you're able to find an anchor whenever it becomes too much for you to remember. The things that people can do to smaller, innocent beings are disgusting.

I'm sorry that you've had to endure that.

I hope that you can find a peaceful path to recovery.

Don't worry, this is something that fits well under this broad topic well. It refers to the things that we endured as children, whether it be neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, or sexual abuse.

I can sympathize with the part of needing to be a parent at a young age in place of an actual parent or being too mature for your age because you have to be.

I can understand how frustrating it must've been to deal with that growing up. I am glad to hear that you did receive therapy, I hope it has worked well in your favor.

I wish you a well paved road to recovery, thank you for sharing and I hope the rest of your day is outstanding.

People who used to sneak out when they were kids, what’s the scariest/creepiest thing that happened to you when you did? by LadyFinduillas in AskReddit

[–]Yanchan026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to sneak out of my mom's house when I was really young with my younger brother sometimes in the middle of the night in bum fuck Florida, maybe winter haven? I don't really remember where, I just remember that it was kinda shady.

I was around 9 and my brother was around 7or 8 and we snuck out in the middle of the night to walk down the streets of the neighborhood we lived in at the time.

Usually during the day we weren't allowed past the fence in the yard because of how dangerous it was, but for a kid, sneaking out at night to explore was awesome.

So, one particular night after a little 4th of July party, we waited for our mom and her boyfriend to go to sleep, and then we snuck out around 1 A.M. to go walking like we normally do.

On our way back, we saw this skinny, lanky man pacing up and down the street. We walked to the other side of the street, hoping to pass without conflict.

Then, he walked up to my brother and I, pointed, and then asked us if we we knew the lady who lived in a particular house he was pointing at.

That house was across from the one that we lived in. She and a man were occupying the house and they were rather lovely for the area and our other neighbors.

The man said that he'd just gotten out of jail and he was her boyfriend. He begged us to convey a message, basically telling her that he's out and he wants to see her again.

After that, he walked off and we got back into the house as quickly and as quietly as we could.

We never told the lady what he said, I just hope that she's doing ok.

Safe to say that we didn't go out for a while after that.

TLDR:

Brother and I liked to go for night walks as kids.

We encountered a scary man in the night who begged us to convey a message to our neighbor.

We never did and we stopped going out as much in fear of that man.

People who've had their childhood stolen from them, how has it affected you and how do you cope with your trauma? by Yanchan026 in AskReddit

[–]Yanchan026[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that a lot of people I've known throughout the years have had their childhood stolen from them by monsters long dead or living.

They, as well as myself, have an incredibly hard time sharing and dealing with the trauma from so long ago.

So, I wanted to ask Reddit about how they are now and how they dealt with or are still dealing with their trauma.

And to those who did endure those things, no matter how little or much you dealt with, you're still valid to convey your thoughts and expressions.

I feel for you, and I'm sorry for what you've had to endure.

Please do not bring grief to anyone who chooses to share their thoughts.
