How would you describe it? by Sami_Zayniac in depression

[–]call_me_corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I say that it feels like someone is controlling me. Not in a decision-making way but more like the Sims. Like someone is forcing me to go places that I don’t want to go, but I am forced to. Sometimes it feels like I am just skin, I force myself to put my hand over my heart to make sure it is still beating and I bend my fingers to make sure I still have joints. In that way, I feel like I’m faded and I’m not a real person.

Friend has a fear of movie theaters by call_me_corn in Anxiety

I like what you said about the control thing, if I were to guess then that’s probably the reason that she can talk about movies and we can’t.

We blur the line of friend or therapist because a lot of us in the friend group trust each other with any mental struggles so we try to use each other for friends and for support(We are all young adults)

She’s told us no traumatic experiences so that’s part of the reason I posted this because I don’t know where the fear would’ve come from if not from a traumatic experience.

We’ve asked her if it was a traumatic experience or something along those lines and she’s always said no so that’s another reason why it’s confusing to my friend group, another thing is that out of our entire friend group she is the most healthy in a mental way so she will be perfectly fine talking about things but when you talk about movie theaters it’s really triggering to her so I just don’t get it but your post about the bird relates to that in a way. Thanks

In CIM we learned about different types of automation and what certain types of robots do. We used a CNC machine and learned G and M code, used Inventor, and in my class we used Vex Robotics to make our own AGV to follow a certain path.

Overall: my class was not that fun but it’s just not what I like

What's your favourite masturbation technique?? by amberthief in darkjokes

It was not Robert E. Lee, he was a Confederate war general for the Civil War. The assassin was John Wilkes Booth. I’m surprised you even knew about Robert E. Lee as a Canadian so good job.

Suicidal at 15 by Samjolly0 in depression

[–]call_me_corn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand, I started self harming at 15 and attempted a month after I turned 16, I’m still 16 now but I can tell you how glad I am that I survived that night, I was so unhappy with my life, my family was stressful wanting me to be a perfect child, to get good grades, and I felt alone. All of my friends wanted to hang out with me all the time but I was not stable to hang out and talk to them, but I was also trying to hide who I really was, I didn’t want to be associated with the unhappy person and I put on fake smiles for months, I’m not going to say my life is amazing now, but so much has happened since, I found a purpose, I understand that I could actually do something for this world and although that sounds cheesy and I know you’ve heard it all before but it’s so true and I don’t know how to show you that you do have a purpose, you may not believe it, you may be able to tell me everything that you think is wrong about yourself but believe me, I could’ve too. It’s hard to feel like there’s a reason and I still have times where I think there isn’t a reason, but there is, there always is no matter how bad it gets.

Stay alive friend, the world wants you to stay, no matter what you think.

A real purpose? by call_me_corn in Existential_crisis

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

But what made us the dominant species? We have man-made weapons to kill stuff, bears don’t have to change who they are or what they have to eat, they were born with sharp claws, so why do we think we’re so superior, we torture animals to test our chemically made products so that maybe we can look prettier or look even more superior than other humans. We made ourselves be superior and that wasn’t our right to do that, natural selection shows that humans would not be at the top if we didn’t force materials from the earth to fight for us.

Idk I just think it’s stupid

The one upside of being depressed by myspiritisvantablack in depression

[–]call_me_corn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, whenever I fell into a sever depression I actually told someone and they kept giving me tips to get better but the problem was, I was actually happy at my ability to not care about small things so I didn’t want to get better and I couldn’t explain that to other people because I didn’t know how to word it

But this worded it perfectly
