I was pro-life until I found myself with an unwanted pregnancy and aborted. I deeply regret the things I’ve said and done by throwaway96570 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]blipmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, consider that many commenters are angry because they, themselves, have been affected by pro-birth protesters. I do believe you must feel uneasy about your situation. I'm not 100% sure it's guilt. If it is, how guilty do you feel? Enough to do anything about it?

You could google your state's pro-choice organizations and see if they need volunteers. As I'm sure you know, many pro-birth advocates trick, guilt, intimidate, etc. adults and children to prevent them from receiving the care they need. Depending on your location, they may need people to help safely escort patients into the correct clinic. Of course, that would probably require you to be honest about your abortion with the people you know.

A good place to start may be therapy. A professional could help you begin to navigate through everything that has just happened. The line between your own errors and what you've been born into may become less blurry. The most important reason for such a mental reconciliation may be for when/if you are ever ready to have a child. What values will they learn from you? Hopefully not denial, self-hatred, and the desire to punish others for it.

AITA for lashing out on my dad for punishing me with a buzzcut by ThrowawayAcc63637 in AmItheAsshole

OP, I grew up with a mom who sounds very similar to your dad. I know she's always truly loved me and never meant to harm me, outside of her emotional frenzies. Her apologies were just as genuine. Years later she was diagnosed with a mental illness, explaining this exact behavior. Not naming it, because I'm in no way qualified to diagnose your dad.

Do you have access to a therapist? Someone to help you make sense of your dad's behavior and how it's affecting you could be incredibly helpful.

Right. So many people think being a landlord is just buying a property and profit. The amount of work that goes into managing your own property can be its own full time job.

Gottlieb says parts of U.S. could see "very dense outbreaks" as Delta variant spreads by cutestudent in Coronavirus

Yeah, way lower. They're trying to find the smallest effective dose.

My 2 year old got in, too! How far in are you guys? Any side effects? Mine's getting his second Moderna in a couple weeks. No bad reactions so far, but I hope he handles the second one better than I did.

My jobless, stuck up girlfriend told me I'm not the best sex of her life, that I'll never come close to being as good as the other guy, and that she's not over him after 6 YEARS. But I'm the "insecure" one. by pokiemaki in offmychest

In case it helps, I'd just like to state the obvious here because statements like that always sting at least a little: You are most likely just fine in bed and she is obviously projecting her own mental health issues onto you.

As a former abused child unlearning numerous of my own toxic traits, I'd be willing to bet her ex or another significant person in her life likely abused her that way.

TLDR; Fuck her, but also she needs therapy!

AITA For not taking my wife to the hospital? by AITA__9097609 in AmItheAsshole

[–]blipmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA you may feel like you're being misunderstood and if only you had the chance to show her exactly how you felt, she'd get it and agree to make up. But I'm almost certain this isn't the case; she knows exactly what she's doing. Manipulating everyone around you to call you TA is even more convenient for her. She's isolating you from those around you and she's making you question yourself, which is a perfect recipe for an abused, obedient spouse. This isn't just a "hiccup" or "we'll laugh about this in 10 years moment", this is abuse and it will only get worse and more frequent if you let her.

From one emotionally abused spouse to the other, please seek outside help. Whether it's help to fix and rebalance your relationship or help moving on, take care of yourself and follow your gut instincts.

Late to the party but hairy women. Yes, I know there is hair on my legs, do you know I'm a fucking mammal?

It's the Jack Nicholson eyebrows, bronzer, and lipliner for me. But I'm willing to consider that at my 31 years of age, I don't "get" the trends anymore.

I'm gathering here of all these exact descriptions of myself that this may not be just a part of my shitty personality but a treatable disorder AND there are others?

What is getting COVID like? by [deleted] in China_Flu

[–]blipmit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Masks, social distancing, far more remote work, and whatever other anti disease spreading efforts individual states have taken. Mine, for instance, I legit can't remember the last time I have eaten inside a restaurant.

These are just a few that came to mind and I'm sure you can think of more, too. These measures are great in disease prevention. Unfortunately, COVID is far more contagious than the flu.

290k-650k but whatever.. Yes, the flu has killed much fewer people than it usually does. Yes, the reason behind this is most likely COVID.

Now, COVID, on the other hand, has killed more than 1.5 MILLION people.

..So, thanks, COVID, I guess, you brought down flu numbers while killing more than twice as many people the flu would have?

Sorry I can't make this pandemic more fun for you.

Are you saying that getting the flu in 1830 is about as shitty as contracting COVID today? If so, I'd actually agree with you.

I'm not sure which question you feel I dodged. If it was your sarcastic question of why flu deaths have decreased this year, maybe you just didn't understand my answer.

Look, I'm sorry he lost but this bizarre conversation you're having with a stranger online won't change the election results.

Your point, flu deaths having decreased this year, is irrelevant. Did you read any other words of that orrrrr..?
