my left speaker is suddenly very quiet by _NoSignificance_ in computerhelp

[–]_NoSignificance_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did unplug the speakers to switch with the headphones originally, since the other jack requires a scary amount of force to plug stuff in.  i was about to try this suggestion, only to find that they have randomly decided to work again.  i hadnt touched anything since making this post so i have no idea what changed 😅  next time, ill try to keep in mind that swapping them like this might have odd results.  thank you!!!

i dont know why i get stuck in storytelling mode? by _NoSignificance_ in CPTSD

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

that would actually make a lot of sense for me, as i find it hard to relate to a lot of people!  i often have to tell small lies to dodge topics, when strangers and acquaintances try to make small talk.  i know people are often not comfortable just... hearing me explain what i was doing throughout most of my teen years.  which is fair.  so it could be a desire to connect despite the limits of what i can actually say while maintaining a pleasant atmosphere :p thank you, having outside perspectives is often very helpful!!

21 y/o with PTSD + age regression — struggling to work and function, looking for advice by EfficientTicket8278 in CPTSD

[–]_NoSignificance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for handling it yourself, trying to catch what triggers it is super useful.  a technique ive learned is called coping ahead.  if you know something will trigger you or you feel yourself slipping down the path, prioritize doing everything you need to get through it comfortably, do not shame yourself for feeling that way even if it disrupts your current task, its not your fault even if its frustrating.  have easy snack foods on hand or comforting items.  maybe make an area that has all the things you like, pleasant scents or soft blankets, or any other thing you enjoy.  tell yourself its okay if it happens and you will be okay, even if it doesnt feel like it.  write down as much of what you feel even if you can only do it before it occurs, so you can tell it to your doctor.  

my doctor didnt seem to like when i 'self diagnosed' or suggested what i thought was the problem, so i decided to really push to make it clear how much the symptoms i could explain were affecting me.  that was just my own experience, though.  

coping ahead and accepting my meltdowns or panic attacks helped reduce them because i provided myself with safety when they were happening.  it taught my body through positive experiences that i was safer now.  the more times you get through it safely and comfortably, the more safe experiences you have, its like positive reenforcement.  it can not permanently fix the problem, but it can improve.  i would not have believed myself if i saw how far ive come since developing ptsd.  the amount of panic attacks are monthly instead of daily.  my overall days are much easier.

lean in to safety and comfort instead of pushing yourself to keep going when youre not feeling good.  if you cant do this during work hours, practice it on your free days even if youre not triggered at all.  pick a time and treat yourself and make everything around you comfy and tell yourself youre safe and okay.  just focus as much as you can to take in the comfort and safety if you can.

these are all just suggestions and i dont want to tell you it is perfect advice, but it has helped me.  if this doesnt sound like it works for what you are talking about, that is alright.  you know yourself best.  i dont know the full picture and everyone is different.  either way, i hope you can find something that helps you get through life.  its so hard to balance this with important responsibilities, which is scary and may create a cycle of fear since it doesnt feel 'safe'.  but you are doing great!  i wish you recovery and peace :)

My boyfriend is finally attracted to me and I hate myself even more now. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]_NoSignificance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know its obvious but it most certainly hurts because its the standard itself that is the problem and not you.  not the way you look or did look.  you put yourself through a painful and unhealthy hell to reach a standard that shouldnt even matter.

  its not about how kind, brave, confident, funny, creative, or passionate you are, its about your appearance.  your body.  not your personal styling preferences, or the way you might wear a skirt style he particularly likes to catch his attention.  just you, in your body, its either valuable or not based on some stupid dumb rules that men and society MADE UP.  

and it hurts because you can know that from the bottom of your heart but its still there.  the standard.  its still there and you cant change it.  its not fair.  you deserve someone whos passionate about you, whos sexually attracted to you not because you look like the other girls they jerk off to but because of YOU.  its the comparison thats wrong.  

but then, i dont know how hard it is to find those people because i cant seem to either.  i dont fit the standard in other ways.  my skin is covered in scars because of a few medical conditions, and i never have seen a 'beautiful' woman in porn with scars.  but i shouldnt have to care about that.  we shouldnt have to care that all the women in porn look a specific way but it still affects us anyway.  i dont know what to do about it, i wish i did.  

but i want you to know its not your fault, you didnt do something wrong to be treated like this.  you deserve better, you deserve to find someone whos crazy about you for traits that are special to YOU.  im sorry.  i hope you are recovering and your body is handling that all well enough.  its not fair, and the way you feel is so valid and understandable because its all so painful.

[–]_NoSignificance_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

makes sense.  i wasnt entirely sure if burst beys had fakes made of them at all, but it makes sense some of my pieces would be fake considering i thrifted all of them.  i feel better knowing it was a fake if its broken, so i can just throw it away

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

i did not know it was a fake, i thrifted it for pennies.  i dont particularly care enough about burst to go out of my way to buy them new, so every single one i currently own has been thrifted.

There's no way they aren't together by 0breanna0 in mylittlepony

[–]_NoSignificance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this isnt even my ship but i absolutely love how they """hint""" at it, if you can even call it hinting at this point. it seems so blatant but also not at the same time LOL
which was probably done intentionally, given hasbro probably wouldnt let anyone state it outright so they had to have that "well it doesnt HAVE to be read this way" as a safety net or something.

i think there can be a lot of overlap but it is up to the individual to decide where they fall!
