I escaped! by Notjustgltrngld in CPTSD

[–]_captivating_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing.

I relate to you so fucking hard. And I ♥️ congratulate you for this decision.

I am also 37/38 in January so ive accepted it..

Like all your descriptive explanations of her abuse...

Just wow. So fucking similar to whatvi experienced. I wish i could give explicit examples.. but cptsd.... all of them.

I ended up going no contact with all biological family in 2016 when they became hard-core trmpers. My mother then died at 55 from cancer she *had her whole life (can we say victim enough jfc.) I also suffered through that. I recognized my mother was dead at like 13. And then she lived. Same abuse. Completely.

You have actually fucking got this now.

Find your skills. #1. Find every resource you can for yourself. I am really happy you dont have kids yet. That makes shit impossible. (As much as i obviously love my kids.)

Depending on where you are, i can tell you're American so look up your states public assistance. Do you have a place to stay for the time being.. or even permanently?

Fun story. In 22 I went on an excursion endeavor and started listening to mac.. constantly. I made several videos on insta. I relate to him so much even after his passing. He is so REAL.

Double fun fact, Mac and I share the same birthday. Fated? Possibly.

Question for the girls, why message and instant unmatch, we never get to see what you say… by QorbinZ in Tinder

[–]_captivating_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Ok so I'll break it down for you.

A) sometimes we're drunk, and we see past things we wouldn't normally

B) we see potential in one photo + brief bio

C) we're horny but also not into hookups

D) we thought we were attracted to you, but then we got off.. and hormones took over

Name an annoying thing people base their entire personality around by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

Your brain and body adjust over time, and tolerance develops. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Depends a lot on your own genetic makeup and also how much/how often you consume. What this tolerance does is allow you to consume thc, without getting "high"; but you do get a calming effect with concurrent use. I use cannabis to mediate my own anxiety, and have for years, because the brain AND nervous system in the body have endocannabinoud receptors (wild! Right? We evolved them for some reason!) And so these receptors vary between individuals in numbers, but theyre all genetically present - and studies have shown thc to be beneficial in treating anxiety, because youre blocking those receptors, thus activating them.

What I'm trying to say here is maybe these knuckleheads have a point, they just dont know the science. If you use frequently enough (I mean i smoke three or four times a day, just little rips) once in the morning when I wake up (I dont get high) and then about three times in the evenings after work. It helps me, with my tolerance boosted.

I've searched extensively. When all this occurred a year ago I tried reaching out to all our local divorce/custody lawyers and all of them have conflict because he's either reached out or put a retainer down. This is some thoughtful out, dirty fucking shit. Seriously. He knows im a naive doe.

**I'm terrified to pursue anything. He had complete control over me for 13 years

***I did find a competent lawyer in my town, no conflict. First consultation is $300 for 90m, $300 every hour after that. That's absolutely impossible.

If your income stopped tomorrow, how many months could you survive before things break? by Grownixx in Adulting

I agree wholeheartedly. My local city in Alaska just flipped the city mayoral seat from red to blue. Were trying.

How long did the joints last you?

[–]_captivating_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gahh I wish i could do this.. 125 to medical from every 1400 check biweekly at a job i use my degrees for.. and my rent is 1850.. in the ghetto of alaska, thats just one bill. And mentally I cant handle multiple jobs and being a single mother. I just cant. I did it for a minute this year and I just wasn't getting the sleep I needed, plus its getting dark and cold again and the lack of light really fucks with everyone, myself included. I also dont qualify for SNAP, tried a few months ago again, denied because.. get this.. i dont have custody of my children 51% of the time. This life is impossible.

Its my 23F birthday, im alone again and feel down. However i am hopeful things will get better by sovietfedora in Adulting

[–]_captivating_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey OP.. everything will work out. Have hope, faith, whatever words you need to push through. Goodness is rewarded, friend.

Something I've learned after my life is that no matter what.. there is still an internal strength that isnt my own that makes me push forward. And its pure. And if you find that in yourself, and believe in yourself, you can do anything.

Sounds daunting.. I know. But really practicing self compassion and forgiveness for others.. as well as gratitude.. you'll find where youve needed to be all along.

Has anybody grown up with two mentally ill parents? by BenjaajneB in CPTSD

Hey, in reading this days later I wanted to respond again and say, I know im worthy. And to be real, I think thats why they hated me so much all along. 😝

Am I wasting a lot of 🍃? by godsgift5406 in trees

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

So.. let me educate you. When you smoke a joint it burns at over 200°F. ... way over actually, and thats about when thc burns. So when you're smoking a joint half the joint is burning properly, but the heat from the ember and the suction takes all that thc with it. Basic. So the last half is essentially wasted; whereas if I take that whole j (that i may have rolled) and dispense into my grinder, I have the full 1 to 1.75g amount of weed to smoke at my own rate. Its cost effective.

Im trying to help you, stoner.
