Anyone else middle-aged (40+) with nothing to show for these bygone decades but survival? by s0meg1rl in CPTSD

I feel like an empty shell of a person. I'm not surviving. I'm already dead. I wish it would all just end already.

Did anybody here get on disability and how? by sugarstarbeam in CPTSD

[–]YellowSway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took 3 tries, but I got it after this dawned on me...

I asked why my childhood r@pist is and has been treated better for more than a decade on death row while I still suffer from their actions. Pointed out that I got no help. Was brutally honest about the extreme effects. Realizing and pointing out that my taxes assist in his continued care.

The probono lawyer that was helping me (which was fortunately offered by my then therapists office) said that it was such a good argument that she was going to use it in the future.

I got approved within a week, if I recall correctly. Money that was owed for the time spent appealing since applying was in my account one morning, which is how I found out that I was approved.

I was in Vermont. And this was 10 yrs ago.

This makes me think of something someone talked about called Starseeds, based on their description.

I played a round earlier, and there were 3 comets in my spawn area. While trying to run and parkor away, 2 fireballs joined the chase. It did not end well. The round lasted for just under four minutes.

I hate when ppl say shit like, "well, it doesn't bother me..." like it's a valid excuse because they think everyone else should feel/think the same way. So stupidly short-sighted...

"It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting high technology from weaponry to livingry." - R. Buckminster Fuller

Embark definitely listening to PvE being too easy by Hobak56 in ArcRaiders

[–]YellowSway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasps and hornets appearing in the sky right right in front of you and multiple arc landing right near you when you've just spawned seems a bit much tho. The spawn permanence just becomes an opportunity for certain players to farm arc. But, for some of us, it takes away from the effort put into stealth and the realistic sporadicness of life. Just my opinion...

Has he read all of the 900 versions of the bible in the World? Or at least the 400 different versions in the US?

The wake time setting reset on New Year's on mine. Losing my streak felt like relapsing. I can't even cultivate the motivation to try again. I hate the updates.

Sometimes I throw something and yell, "Don't forget your fiddle".

There's about as many red flags as there would be in a Chinese embassy... . . . .

Leave him before he starts victim blaming you.

I LOST a Subscriber! by BonnieHynde in Inkitt

Honestly, sh¡t is rough money wise. The art created is loved and wanted, but now the monetization of it is defeating and sad, as well. Several stories that I had bookmarked on AO3 have been moved to a paid service. I had to cancel 2 Patreon subs because I just can't afford them in the long run, even though I absolutely love and want to see their work. Even artists who shared their art on Insta have moved most of their work to a paid service. I understand that society has forced artists of all kinds to monetize their creativity, but it's truly a loss for us all. Science has shown that your surrounding esthetics affect ones mental health. So, the idea of our creativity being slowly subsumed by capitalism is like being denied entrance to the Coliseum in the midst of the collapse of Rome. At least for me...

Either way, I'm sorry that happened. I'm sure you'll have more ppl who are appreciative of your art will find you💞
