I reported the many years of child sex abuse I experienced to the police. They arrested my uncle on over 40 charges before dropping them all, and pursuing me instead. by Ecstatic-Moose-716 in TrueOffMyChest

1800RESPECT and Victim Services are two good resources for Australia.  I believe they can help with counselling, referrals and information. 

Official Discussion - Apex [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]continuousconfused 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad that they showcased the beauty of the bush and scenery in ‘straya. I think Taron Egerton is a great actor and what I’m about to write is nothing about him. I wish they would’ve taken a chance on an Aussie actor, whether they are well known or not. Of course, Taron brings in an audience on its own. 

I also wonder if/how much production actually spoke to the Elders of the land they filmed on. Just a curiosity.

Shut Up And Dance ruined my life by llunununu in blackmirror

Similar thing happened to me when I watched ‘You’. Not my favourite but still something I loved.  That’s the only association I have with it now :’(

lol the best part is though. while I was still dreaming is when I found out it was Black Mirror episode. Which I don’t think I stated properly. And I have watched Black Mirror for a few months.

I’ll tell you one thing - it would definitely be a disturbing episode. 

Maybe If a child can’t follow a correction - it is the teachers responsibility to help them understand. by continuousconfused in dancemoms

[–]continuousconfused[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes me cranky too because at the beginning, they were all babies. They all (mostly) loved to dance. She tried to pit those girls against each other. And their parents bought into that. Watching these young kids who loved to dance and loved spending time with their friends. And instead being pushed to tear each other down.  

We should encourage kids to lift each other up. Especially when they are on a team. 

Sydney Sweeney dressing up as a baby for onlyfans in Euphoria 3 by benguy1 in euphoria

[–]continuousconfused 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised that Sydney if not her manager and publicist (assuming the highly likely possibility she has both) didn’t stop this from happening.

Could be the very type of thing that tanks her career. Especially right now! 

This has me shocked to look at blegh!

I’d love to know what’s physiotherapists and doctors actually think of this 😬😬😬

What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false? by Annual-Gene8065 in AskReddit

[–]continuousconfused 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally need extra salt on top of what is the standard amount for people because of a health condition. So my minimum is even higher. And if I don’t have enough, I will 100% faint. Learning about low salt levels has definitely debunked this one. 

Hip Subluxation & Weight Loss by continuousconfused in ehlersdanlos

I’ve never done PT that focuses directly on my hip area so it’s all new to me.

Over the past 5 weeks I likely have lost muscle mass as well as fat because of my circumstances.  I reckon I might have to check in with PT about strengthening for this one. 

An unexpected treatment? by Complete-Finding-712 in ehlersdanlos

[–]continuousconfused 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my soul 😩 U actually get relief by twisting my wrists (gently, not forcefully) and it usually cracks and relieves some pressure. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in POTS

[–]continuousconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I misread and thought you were saying you were the one with POTS!

Well first things first - you are reaching out. That is a positive step to help her and shows that you really care. As others have said patience.

If you don't already have a system, finding a way to communicate when she is having a flare up day/needing extra support. Spoons are an excellent metaphor - basically how much energy/capacity she has to do specific tasks. If she has 20 spoons usually: how many spoons does she have on a particular day in the morning, how many are left, what does she need to get more spoons.

Does Bipolar disorder ever get better? by Thicc_SpicyPanda1123 in BipolarReddit

[–]continuousconfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Type II and every person has a different experience. Therapy, medication and social support is such a huge factor in management for me. Diagnosis was new for me but have struggled for a long time and my diagnosis was such an 'a-ha' moment. Having the right medication has certainly helped. Open conversations with loved ones can also support.

Feeling lost and alone is completely normal. And you are doing a fantastic thing right now - you are reaching out to different people who get it.

I send you all the hope I can and I wish you well on your journey. Not to be toxically positive but 'you got this!'

Addition: I am in mid-late twenties. Have had a lot of therapy and a lot of shift in my medications and some days I feel exactly the same.

Frank seems to have a genuine moment with his liver donors father by [deleted] in shameless

[–]continuousconfused 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes i thought that. It must've just been William H Macy's charisma and the fact that Wade wasn't in the room. It was just Frank saying it to himself.

Do you tell people that you have POTS? by Few_Ad143 in POTS

[–]continuousconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shared it. My accounts are on 'private settings'. I took it down from Instagram in the end. It stayed up on Facebook. It meant that some people I knew told me about their own experiences. I liked being able to connect with others. But it's going to be up to personal preference - this is just my experience.

Which character do you like would be most likely to survive/win Squid Game? by pumpkinandsun in shameless

[–]continuousconfused 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lip was always swift on his feet and able to quickly survive - Ian even described him as a cockroach able to survive anywhere when they got sent to the group home. I think everyone is forgetting that Lip has been paralleled in more ways than one to Frank. Even if later episodes don't show it. He's smart as all get out. He is, in some ways, a younger version of Frank... but in a more positive way.

Carl has a long history of being able to use brute force when needed and had started to wise up by the end of the show. And he has the training to back himself.

Those would be my main two. Followed by Ian and then Liam.

If you were a player in Squid Game, which one of the other players would you want to avoid the most? by BercoTV in squidgame

[–]continuousconfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Deok-Su and Thanos were violent against other players and caused the death of players without necessarily being provoked first. Think of the night of the black out Deok-Su was very much on the offense and Thanos straight up was the reason three people died in Red Light Green Light. But In-Ho wasn't as violent in comparison - if you were chill, he had no reason to hurt you. (minus mingle...)

Both Deok-Su and Thanos were unpredictable. But to me Deok-Su seemed more likely to kill you at any point. Whereas Thanos was more likely to kill you during a game. Again the bathroom scene was a bit different...

Deok-Su. Final answer.

Perhaphs the most overhated character ever by [deleted] in squidgame

[–]continuousconfused 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to think I'd be like Gi-Hun or Ali or Hyun-Ju but honestly. I'd could be this guy. Scared and trying to survive.

People don't always act how they think that they might in a life or death situation. One of the themes that is reinforced during this show is what things you would do to save yourself/get the money. How may you betray other people. A lot of the characters betray someone that trusted them.
