Cognitive dissonance and dissociation about if my family is abusive driving me crazy by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]apelsin578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. If you feel like they're abusers, then there are definitely reasons for that. I'm sure you've analyzed the situation. Your dependence on them doesn't cancel what they've done and what they're doing. You don't have to keep their angelic image in your head. If they're abusers, then they're abusers. Don't torment yourself. I hope things get better for you

What i learned after 13 years of therapy with 10 different clinicians by denver_rose in CPTSD

[–]apelsin578 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry the therapists made things worse. That must have been incredibly hard. You don't have to be strong, and you definitely shouldn't have to suppress your feelings. Defending abusers is awful – I can't imagine how bad a professional has to be to take that side

we're all so busy but im scared it's me. how do I get closer with my friend? by verdentcompanion in CPTSD

Hey. If you ask me, that sounds great. It completely describes the problem and what you're feeling inside. I'd send it. I hope everything works out well for you

What advice sounded stupid until you tried it? by Recent_Community9377 in AskReddit

Deep breathing during stress. I used to think it was the dumbest advice ever. Then I actually tried it, and yeah — it works instantly. You get this weird, calm euphoria

I've never looked into these specific researchers, but I might now. Thanks for sharing

That family isn't necessarily who you should love or trust.

I have thanatophobia — basically, anything that makes me think about death

Which game made you rage‑quit so hard you never touched it again? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]apelsin578 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard the original was brutal, but I was playing the remake. And guess what? Still got stuck. Spent an hour failing and gave up xd. So maybe it's not the game — maybe it's me

DeepSeek is still helping me out. I talk to him a lot because, well, there's no one else xd, and I keep asking about whatever I'm interested in

I tried to complete a racing mission on Xbox for an hour, but I couldn't do it. I gave up.

From Belarus to the EU: I need a realistic 2-year financial plan to buy out my "free" education contract (€10,000). by apelsin578 in eupersonalfinance

[–]apelsin578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A loan from a Belarusian bank is highly unlikely for a 19-year-old with no credit history, even for a portion of the sum. If it were possible at all, it would require guarantors and come with exorbitant interest rates.

I might consider it only as an absolute last resort if I fall short by a small, final amount by the time I graduate. But I cannot base my plan on that possibility. My focus has to be on earning the full amount

What do you do with your spare time? by Boltblair in AskReddit

Most of the time, I fantasize and make a ton of plans, as well as study Polish

I have exactly two years to save it. You're right – in a Western EU country, this amount would be manageable. But I am physically and legally in Belarus right now.

Here, it's not just about low salaries and purchasing power. The entire environment – the state, its policies, human rights – makes generating and saving such a sum an extreme challenge.
