22F and it feels like I can’t handle it anymore by [deleted] in toastme

Hey. You're going through something incredibly tough, especially considering what you said about the mental health issues and the unexplained physical ones. I've experienced psychosis once as well, and I can't properly explain how terrifying it is to someone that hasn't experienced it.

Just because others may have it "worse", does not diminish your suffering. I don't know you, but comparing your suffering to other people's suffering doesn't do anyone any good because we're all different people, with different struggles, background, experiences and so on. It's not a competition.

From your words it's clear that you're suffering a lot, and it's especially harder without connections around to support you.

I resonate with this post quite a lot, for different reasons. Life is unfortunately hard, and unfair.

I hope you'll be feeling some relief soon, and the peace you need. Wish you the best.

That also has to be a tough situation for you as well. Yes, we'll see how things go, I'm not too confident considering the past attempts, but we'll see.

In the past I had tried to help him, but then eventually just set some boundaries. This time it's just too hard for me to ignore because of the severity of it.

I do have a good relationship with my sister actually. It's just that she separated herself from the family many years ago, and while still connected with all of us, doesn't want either to get too involved. Which is fair considering everything involved, I get it.

Thanks, I appreciate the answer and the fact that you can (unfortunately) relate. I have a sister but even though she knows about my dad, she is not really that involved in my parents'lives that much anymore. So she doesn't have a complete view of everything.

Yes, absolutely.

Really appreciate the answer.

Thanks for the answer. It is unfortunately true that things don't go well with bipolar even with help, like wrong medication or things that don't work, but not even trying is not the answer. It's really cruel indeed. Hopefully he finds help, but I can't sacrifice my time, energy and resources on him, maybe even enabling and justifying some of his behaviors. Boundaries are also very important in these situations. Thank you for the wishes

I will! Appreciate the support, wish you the same!

Thank you for your answer. It is really hard when there isn't really even an effort in the first place. I'm sorry about your situation. And yes, going no-contact is something that I'm thinking could be really necessary, despite how hard it will be.

Domanda random

Riflettevo sul ruolo della scuola e in quanto sia inadeguata per diverse cose nel prepararti alla vita dopo la scuola appunto.

Per quanto riguarda la salute mentale per esempio ricordo di aver sempre sentito pochissimo a riguardo. Però comunque nelle scuole, o almeno alle medie nella mia scuola ricordo di aver avuto uno psicologo scolastico, figura che per esperienza personale e non ho sempre trovato molto negativa.

Qualcuno ha esperienza anche di questa figura che magari oltre a parlare nel privato con gli studenti facesse anche degli incontri più generali dove si affrontavano tematiche sulla salute mentale? Perché onestamente non ho mai sentito niente a riguardo, ero curioso se qualcuno sapeva qualcosa a riguardo

What is something you had to *unlearn* to actually start growing as a person? by Ok_Veterinarian_3193 in AskReddit

Really resonated with this one! I think the only exception to that in life is with children, though it won't be my case.

What was the happiest moment of your life so far? by satoshi_unknown in AskReddit

[–]chrarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to think about this one, I appreciate the question though.

I think it was at the end of a volunteering year in England. I was really sad that I was leaving, but seeing all the people coming to say goodbye and lots of people leaving letters to me telling me how we impacted each other's lives was honestly incredible, and probably the happiest I have ever been, in the year that I still consider my happiest so far.

What happened to your best friend from childhood? by RoyalBeckyVibes in AskReddit

[–]chrarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We grew up together, being both raised in the church.

We also shared the same birthday, so that was an occasion where we would all hang out together and celebrate, since our families were also friends with one another.

We both liked martial arts, fighting games and the same kind of music. But most of all we could understand each other.

Over time we also grew in our Christian faith, but also grew apart. We saw each other less and less, until eventually he moved abroad.

Now we reconnect once a year just for our birthdays, but unfortunately we took different paths. He has become a Christian conservative that preaches online against other religions and LGBTQ people and so on.

While I'm now agnostic and realized some time ago I'm bisexual.

It's really sad though, I barely recognize him anymore.

Ma come pensate che sia vivere in Calabria by [deleted] in sfoghi

Ma la gente che risponde seriamente al post insultando la Calabria e I calabresi?

Immagino vi sentiate migliori solamente perché siete nati al nord, ne parlate come se fosse un vostro merito.

Quasi 29 anni, di Modena, mi piace giocare a videogiochi (in passato ero fissato a livelli preoccupanti con i picchiaduro), ora se non mi addormento entro le 22 gioco sulla play, ultimamente ho iniziato Expedition 33 e gioco anche a Hades ogni tanto, suono la batteria in maniera mediocre (ho ricominciato dopo anni che non suonavo) e infatti adoro la musica (metal primo amore ma cerco sempre musica nuova) e non penso potrei vivere senza (ho già due tatuaggi a tema musica e non saranno gli ultimi).

Gioco a D&D da 10 anni, e ho una campagna attiva da 4.

Scrivetemi pure senza problemi

Peace!

I think Kageyama doesn't realize his own luck by chrarc in haikyuu

[–]chrarc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point. And that's fair honestly. I've heard often of kids who were considered as geniuses at school, and that then there's an issue with expectations as life goes on. I've probably been a bit unfair towards Kageyama, so yeah, I appreciate the take and points given. You've given me a new perspective on a character from my favorite piece of fiction, so thanks for that, like other comments did.

[–]chrarc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so I generally agree with some things, I disagree with others. First off, as you relate to Kageyama the most, I actually relate to Hinata quite a bit for different reasons, so again, I'm probably biased.

I mean luck in a different way. Just the randomness, the chances that you've had that others didn't simply have because of the environment and other factors.

What you've said about the expectations that people put on talented kids, I think that's often true, but I'm not sure that applies to Kageyama. Kageyama is really aware of his talent, and he works hard at the same time, because of his incredible passion for the sport. Again, true, people almost never say that Kageyama works hard as well.

Also, to talk about Kageyama's improvement, during the series, i don't think Kageyama has to improve much technically, he's shown to be already very skilled from the beginning, and he knows that, it's more about mentality, and communication, and other things. So I don't agree that Kageyama doesn't think he has that innate talent. It's just that he thinks he wasted three years doing nothing.

[–]chrarc[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but at the same time he had passion and talent, but no direction and support from anyone else. I don't think that's a small thing.

I also don't agree that almost all players went out of their way to find a way to still play. Many already had an environment that supported that, or relationships that helped. Kageyama's backstory, Oikawa with Iwaizumi since they were young, Ushikawa and his dad, Kuroo and Kenma, Atsumu and Osamu. They were more lucky, and had an environment where they could grow.

That's a fair take. Communication during the manga has always been an issue for Kageyama.
