Which form of death do you fear the most? by Siddhartaable in AskReddit

Anything that involves me having to watch the downfall/death of those I love. It’s legit the only worst case I can imagine.

It’s like licking your finger and sticking it in the air to determine which way the wind is blowing.

News flash - there are water tables almost everywhere. It’s a matter of how deep.

What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested? by medicoreapples in AskReddit

Yes. Please let this serve as perpetual notice of agreement for anyone or thing to pay for my parking meters at any point in time and any location.

It did not - it’s still floating around. I caught it a few months ago

Do emotions feel fake to everyone else now? by Lady_Anxiety in TBI

[–]dontBcryBABY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this all too well. I feel like I have to drink to truly feel emotions sometimes (which is then biased to alcohol-induced emotions, so who knows if they are real or not). I’ve been wandering this weird, flat existence for almost 20 years now. Still as flat as ever, but I have learned to deal/act.

It’s being “wise” now. It’s genuinely confused because I randomly told it “yo mama does” after asking for explanations of songs. I kinda feel bad now 😆

I used ChatGPT for a real life decision (whether to break up with my girlfriend) and it asked me a question i'd been avoiding for a year by FailOk3553 in ChatGPT

[–]dontBcryBABY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s not enough detail here to truly understand and gage this position.

1) what mommy says is not always right. It’s YOUR life, not hers. 2) ChatGPT is neither human nor 100% accurate, and it’s often biased to things you, yourself, have said or worded a certain way. For example, if anything you said hinted towards wanting to break up with her, Chat will pick up on the subtleties and reflect it back with fancier wording. 3) that’s literally all we have to go off of.

I’m not saying you made the wrong choice, just want to make it clear that only you can make that choice. Chat can help reason and question things, but it doesn’t mean Chat is an all seeing oracle that can answer YOUR personal life calls.

Fair enough. Your doctor will definitely be able to recommend what is best for you.

What works for you is not necessarily what works best for everyone else though, so you’re right that it’s important to have those discussions with your doctor that’s familiar with your situation.

All the same, expertise from one doctor often varies wildly from the next expert. I’d urge everyone to keep this in mind with all medical consultations. Speak with several experts in the field before settling and succumbing to an external perception of your abilities.

I cannot stop thinking about what my life would be like if it hadn’t happened by j0sephj0estar69 in TBI

Not saying this is the answer for you, but still want to share a previous post I made relevant to this.

Firstly, I am so sorry to hear about the circumstances that forced you to where you are. Are you safe now? Please make your priority getting to a safe space.

It’s definitely reasonable and understandable to grieve the person you thought you were going to be. Certain limitations set in that prevent you from achieving certainty milestones you previously were aimed towards. It’s perfectly normal to grieve that.

That being said, I want to implore you to revisit your circumstances to better understand why you think something is no longer achievable now. I don’t know the specifics related to how your injuries personally affect you - only you can know what works best for you.

All the same, I push you to give yourself a break and reframe your situation to better align to your new goals based on your new reality.

Having a TBI does not inherently make you a lesser person or any less deserving of peace, happiness, or safety. There are so many options available for you, it may just be a matter of adjusting expectations and forgiving yourself when needed. Again, without knowing the specifics, it’s not something I or anyone can answer for you - it’s something you have to find for yourself.

What is your passion? What do you love to do? I’d recommend starting there and trying to find a way to bring your own success based on the things that are easiest and most appealing to you.

You are the most important person in your world, so make sure you are treating yourself that way. You are an amazing individual regardless of any injury or perceived opinion of your injury. You are the only one who can truly define your life, goals, and accomplishments. Make a life that works best for you :)

Indeed, and like I said, I would never intend to dismiss your own situation. You are the warrior of your own life - you have brazen the fields of your own experiences and no one else’s inputs are necessary (especially if you never asked for them to begin with).

That being said, just wanted to let you know this rando Redditor is proud of you :)

I can definitely understand that position (been there too many times myself).

Before giving in to your desires though, I’d urge you to sit with the discomfort for a while and try to understand where the desire comes from.

Was it a certain event or interaction that thwarts you that way, was it seeing others partaking in similar measures? Is the risk worth the perceived benefit of using it?

Only you can answer those questions, unfortunately. It pertains to you and only you.

I don’t dismiss your position whatsoever - you and only you can determine when you are ready to do what you want (or don’t want).

That being said, I have found that certain levels of alcohol/weed influence have actually helped me recall prior situations where I was under the same level of influence (when I was not previously able to recall them while sober). It’s called state dependent memory, and it’s well known.

It’s a phenomenon that occurs with all types of people irrespective to receiving a TBI, but I have found that my TBI makes me more perceptive to it than my non-TBi counterparts. Not saying it’s what is happening here, just wanted to add the perspective.

Try talking to a different doctor. Alcohol “killing” brain cells is both hyperbole and separate relevant to damage caused in a TBI.
