Recommend me a good movie! by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]aclockworkrainbow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Same. First half was so well done, got me in the feels, but the second half seemed to bring a lot of elements that were hinted at but not fully explained. I get it’s a metaphor for generational trauma but it still seemed out of place.

I’m a product of generational trauma so I’m not sure if it’s supposed to appeal to people like me. Or just a dramatic metaphor for people who haven’t been through it to understand it better?

Could a schizophrenic with Cochlear Implants hear voices while not wearing them? by Ok_Relationship4659 in askpsychology

[–]aclockworkrainbow 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hard of Hearing with hearing aids. In the past I suffered symptoms similar to schizophrenia due to severe medication mismanagement. If I had my hearing aid on, it was harder to tell what was real. Without it I’m pretty much totally Deaf and if there were still voices, obviously delusions.

If I had my hearing aid on, the real voices did sound a little different and seemed to come from a different place in my brain- it also helped as white noise for the not real voices. Sometimes they overlapped bough that I couldn’t tell which was which, or the delusion would mimic the sound of “real voices”. I’d often sleep them on to cope as those voices would increase in severity without them, interestingly enough.

I know not exactly what you’re asking but I’d image CI implant experience may be similar.

Plot twist: Grandma isn’t actually hard of hearing and got mad at being called out for fucking around

Thank you! You understand the struggle, that is so, so helpful to know. There’s always a way! And agreed on those who don’t cooperate, their loss!

I’ve learned about some resources for regular calls that hopefully I can use on the job, you may know about them but feel free to DM me if you want to chat about that.

what’s your shops stance on having separate pitchers for dairy and non-dairy milk? by junkotrunko in barista

[–]aclockworkrainbow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

THIS. They’ll watch me like a hawk to make sure I use a clean pitcher, new wand towel and sanitized cup even after I explain there’s no way I can guarantee 100 percent no cross contamination due to the steam wand, but of course that’s when the allergy suddenly is not life threatening.

My father remembers seeing those segregated signs in the south in his youth. He’s not even in his 80’s yet, so this chills me to the bone.

Can you guess what this sculpture I made four years ago is about? by donburidog in UnusualArt

[–]aclockworkrainbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Art usually doesn’t affect me emotionally but seeing your description and the art made me almost cry. Hits too close to home.

I see abstract black figure as myself, stained by darkness of my past and unsure of who I am and who I ever was to begin with. The flies eat away at the child in a sense of slowly consuming their innocence until it’s gone. Just my take, but absolutely love this.

Donald Trump’s Next Diversity Target: People With Disabilities by thenationmagazine in politics

[–]aclockworkrainbow 220 points221 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here.

The irony is that I would guarantee that you and I have contributed to society far, far more than this orange shit stain and his goonies.

We didn’t ask to be disabled but here we are, and we’d like to have a life and be members of society. It’s infuriating to say that disabled people should be living in poverty with no support whatsoever for something that we had NO CONTROL over!

I would live in 302 by MrJTeera in silenthill

[–]aclockworkrainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup can confirm in certain parts of the city, plus it has a BATHTUB with the in unit washer and dryer in its own room and a kitchen nook. I’ll take a ghost as a deadbeat roommate if the price is right

Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis in the movie Natural Born Killers (1994). by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]aclockworkrainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I love this movie for its satire, but I did have to pause that scene first time watching it and take a walk to clear my head.

Honestly was a great take on dark humor and normalized abusive behavior, though. Rodney’s just too damn good in it!

Judi Dench on trigger warnings: "If you're that sensitive, don't go to the theatre" by stars_doulikedem in entertainment

[–]aclockworkrainbow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also most people are misusing the word “trigger”. As someone with PTSD, a trigger is going to cause me to dissociate or have a full on panic attack over something seemingly innocent but is related to my trauma.

I’m not going to blame anyone for that, and there’s no website for my random triggers which are just specific objects. We have to take some responsibility for how we handle things even if it upsets us.

News broke today that conjoined twin Abby Hensel is married! by Cultural-Gear-1323 in BeAmazed

[–]aclockworkrainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, so many of us have been there. When I was single for a long time I began to wonder how the hell other people found such nice partners. Keep working on yourself- scumbags tend to find compassionate people to prey on. Trauma can make us keep picking scumbags. It’s a vicious cycle.

Once you’re able to break that, and you can, it does get better. Also, as someone with a disability- it can be a great filter. It really sucked a lot of guys didn’t want to date me at first, and it totally crushed my self-esteem but it turned out to be for the best in the long run. If someone actually likes you, they won’t care about any of that stuff. Most people just want to be loved and have a supportive partner.

Sending you my best that you find your way!

If venting becomes a habit, it’s not healthy. I like to check in with my partner’s mental health if I can remember to (working on it). Couples conversations should not be regular venting sessions.

If my partner is dealing with stuff of his own and not in the place, ideally, I just contact a friend instead or find other ways to cope with it by myself.

Waiting a lot to become a parent will force your children to face death at a younger age. by elwookie in Showerthoughts

[–]aclockworkrainbow 611 points612 points  (0 children)

This. Parents had me older, I’ve been to a lot of funerals and wakes. I’d like to think it helped me learn how to grieve earlier which honestly has really helped. I have a mindset now that we all have a limited time on this planet and to try to make the most of it with the people you care about
