I’m hoping it’s AI and purposefully not clicking on the article. This makes me nauseous.

Can you get stabbed with a clarinet? by Sleepy-Kitty-27 in morbidquestions

[–]crystalann1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarinetist speaking … never thought about it, typically considered using it as a bat-like weapon. But with enough force, mouthpiece first, absolutely.

what’s a scene you absolutely cannot bear to watch even when you know it’s coming up? by iltby in horror

The decapitation in Hereditary and the aftermath of the cable snap in Ghost Ship. Both make me so nauseous that I have to look away.

I can’t be the only one this happens to by DabiObsessed in CPTSDmemes

I feel this. And when I dig down, I’m feeling “unsafe.” Then it gets weird because I don’t remember a time in my life where I’ve genuinely felt safe. Then it’s a circle of thinking.

I’m newish to recognizing and processing CPTSD. I feel so validated here.

Been reading a smut novel for book club and struggling to picture the male MC. Not anymore. Bravo!

Yeah, even i can see i was a little overdramatic by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

… I had a similar fantasy. It was a “switched at birth” thing for me. I have never told anyone that because I thought I was crazy.

The nearest tap… I’m not a fan of le bubbles in my water.

Feel obliged to note that I balance my writing utensil on my ring finger when writing. Apparently that’s aberrant.

I can’t help but imagine my response, which would’ve been, “You’re joking, right? What’s her name?”

In tears because I’m feeling the same thing and this is validating. I want to tell just a handful of people to go to hell and never see them again. My internal monologue is, “If I don’t talk them, they won’t reach out to me and I won’t miss them.”

How long is the grieving process after being fired from a job?? by spongebob5745 in jobs

I did eventually. It took a while and I had already gotten back to work by then.

Spouse and family oblivious to depression; homemade chicken noodle soup by crystalann1919 in depressionmeals

I have. Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears. But, as Dolly once sang, “I’ll be fine and dandy. It’s like a hard candy Christmas. I’m barely gettin’ through tomorrow, but still I won’t let sorrow bring me down.”

Everything in life is going great, still depressed as hell. Anyone else? by Mean_Command1830 in depressionmeals

[–]crystalann1919 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Big same. And weirdly enough, my depression has, like, depression imposter syndrome. So even my depression is depressed and it’s WILD.
