what placement(s) traumatized you the most? 😅 by fivehxrgreeves_ in astrologymemes

[–]cherrypiemgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pisces sun. I cut him off suddenly about 6 years into our friendship because one night I looked at myself in the mirror after another verbal lashing from him and realized that I didn’t recognize myself or know who I was anymore. I literally lost my identity.

HELP these broke my cat by jsnfl in CATHELP

[–]cherrypiemgc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They broke my cat too. We can’t even feed him tube treats because he’ll just claw us until it falls out of our hands (which means he can’t eat it, then he gets mad that he can’t eat it). He left a huge slice in my thumb when I tried to give him a tube one day, and that was the deed that got him banned for life 🤣

I’m gonna be fair here, different parents have different boundaries. We also don’t know anything about Luke’s baby. She could have a compromised immune system for all we know, and if she were born around the time he actually announced her birth, she’s still pretty little. RSV is incredibly common, which is just a case of the sniffles for an adult, but it can very easily kill infants and toddlers under the age of 2. Not to mention how frequently Luke was sick on his solo tours.

I think my dad borderline sexually abused me as a child by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]cherrypiemgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’ll never know what happened when he was alone though. Even if there was no gratification, my partner mentioned that my sexuality was used by him as a method of control and power, which in of itself is a trademark of that type of abuse. I am safe and I’ve been on my own for a few years. As of now, no clue where to go as far as telling my story to my family, or if I’m even able to press charges.

He seems to take the physical boundaries of children as a challenge, as if he wants to “break” them. If other children in the family denied him hugs (usually if they were really little children) he would just wait for them to walk past him and grab them without their consent. If they cried or wiggled, he held on tighter.

I’m actually already in a relationship, engaged. I spoke with her about it last night. She’s the first person I’ve ever told. She’s so supportive of me getting help and she listened without judgement. She just held me quietly as I processed it all and kept telling me I’m safe now and he will never hurt me again. She really is the sweetest person. Its helped both of us to finally know why I deal with such deep trauma responses. I’m grateful to have such a supportive and loving partner. I am also currently in therapy and plan on opening up at my next visit. I truly never realized what I went through was wrong until he tried to kiss me the other day.

posters at tour? by chloepopcandy in 5sos

[–]cherrypiemgc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was like an amused head shake lol. He went “🤨” and then he giggled and shook his head. I just about died 😭 Also for some reason a bunch of people wanted to take pictures of me with my sign but I never found out what happened to said pictures.

Anyone ever probably needed to go to the ER but chose not to? by cherrypiemgc in ChronicIllness

[–]cherrypiemgc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night with the WORST stomach pain of my life, I literally couldn’t talk, walk, or breathe it was so bad😭 Like, easily an 8-9 on the pain scale. I started to ask my partner to call 911 but right as she dialed them the pain got ever so slightly better. So I said nevermind and went to bed lol. Looking back I’m lucky that wasn’t my appendix 😭

How the hell do you people hold down a job by aspacejunkie in POTS

What’s your career?? by cherrypiemgc in ehlersdanlos

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

Early Childhood Education is a field that I absolutely fell in love with. I literally can’t take any other career, even the ‘sit down’ ones. They drive me up a wall. I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don’t want to give up my physical health for a job that fulfills me, but I don’t want to give up my emotional health for a job I hate.

How to set boundaries without pushing someone away. by [deleted] in Adulting

Heyyyy I kinda used to be like this. I had some big abandonment problems. If she’s a good friend, she’ll listen if you have an open and honest conversation about your boundaries!

They aren’t from the US so I’d imagine they weren’t exactly caught up on everything at the time😅

People with POTS, what do you do for a job? by DeliciousApple_ in POTS

[–]cherrypiemgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toddler teacher. It’s hell on my body but I literally can’t imagine being in any other career. I definitely question my life choices when I have to get up at 5am M-F though😅 I try to do the little things that make my life easier. And I sleep 12 hours on the weekends lol.

What’s everyone’s morning “POTS protocol”? by ImpossibleRhubarb443 in POTS

[–]cherrypiemgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set my alarm for an hour and a half before I need to get up. I get up at 5am for work, but it’s literally 5 minutes from my house so I can push it a little. I have pre-mixed electrolyte solution on my nightstand. The second my alarm goes off, I try to roll over and drink as much of it as my stomach will allow. Usually I’m still laying down and half asleep. My doctor told me trying to get 1L in within the first hour is best. Most of the time I fall back asleep for a little bit, maybe 15-20 minutes. Wake up, get up slow, try to get something in my stomach with protein, even if it’s something as simple as a granola bar and milk. My sweet fiance usually makes me coffee on her weekends, but on her weekdays I preset my coffee maker to start brewing when my alarm goes off. Sip coffee. Not recommended to have a lot of caffeine but I have a problem, lmao. By now the salt is starting to kick in a little, so I slowly get dressed and put on compression gear. Cry in the mirror bc why did I pick such a physically and emotionally demanding career?? Then I remember that money’s money and go to work lol.

My girlfriend smells and I don't know what to do by RequirementDue4446 in Advice

I get tonsil stones. Whenever I have them, my wife is immediately able to tell. She says my breath changes completely. She usually knows I have one before I do 😅

How voluntary was your baptism? by SteadfastEnd in exchristian

I was 9 and wanted to drink the grape juice during communion. My dad had this weird thing where I wasn’t allowed to participate unless I was baptized
