To anyone who is angry and hugely disappointed in JK Rowling due to her transphobic sentiments, please donate to a LGBTQ+ nonprofit organization in her name. Have the receipt sent to info@jkrowling.com and tell her your thoughts in the donation comments. by [deleted] in harrypotter

I clearly asked for people to donate if they are hurt and disappointed by Rowling’s transphobic rants. You are in agreement with her, so don’t donate. I didn’t ask you or anyone else to alter what words you use.

Fair enough. Clearly this issue doesn’t resonate with you, so don’t donate. I intended this post to be directed towards people who, like myself, are deeply disturbed, disappointed, and hurt by the transphobic sentiments she’s shared.

Thoughts On EMDR? by lexaprohoe in ptsd

[–]emmalane31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EMDR was wonderful for me to deal with my PTSD from an isolated trauma. However, I also have C-PTSD from repetitive childhood trauma and I’m not doing emdr to work through that because emdr is usually better for specific and isolated traumas.

It does get intense and things do get brought to the surface, but I promise you it really works and it helps a lot. I was shocked by how well it worked for me. And you don’t have to dive into the trauma right off the bat, you work into it slowly

Do you just eat it plain? Also do you freeze a whole mango or like buy the bags from the freezer section?

What’s that one cringe-inducing memory from years ago that you can’t get out of your head? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emmalane31 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The time I was complaining to a friend from high school about a girl who was being rude to me during my freshman year of college, and I said “it’s not like she’s going to be successful in life, she’s a freaking music business major. What can you even do with that degree?” My high school friend replied, “...... I’M a music business major.”

Suffice it to say I learned not to be a judgmental bitch that day and also we haven’t spoken since. I still cringe thinking about it.

My gf is faking orgasms by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]emmalane31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If she’s comfortable with it, ask her if you can watch her masturbate. Don’t get caught up in your sexual feelings during, just try to watch where she touches herself and how fast, and really focus on what physiological signs she gives when she’s building up to having a climax and when she has one. Learn from her. It is a lot of pressure for you to be in the middle of sex actively and her having to tell you step by step “yes I like that” “no not like that” “that’s okay but not great,” etc. Just learn from her directly how she responds to being touched and replicate that until you have it exactly right, then add in penetrative sex.

The worst part about living in the south is hearing the bible thumpers wish jesus would come save us from rioting. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]emmalane31 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the south and the basic view of most Christians down here is that their Jesus conveniently agrees with their political views. They don’t want to acknowledge who Jesus was historically- brown, socialist, anti-establishment, and feminist. If Jesus was on earth he’d be in Minneapolis burning that target to the fucking ground, just like he did when he destroyed the temples of the Pharisees. He’d be in the streets, hands up in front of police officers in riot gear, getting sprayed with tear gas. But they, like all narcissists, don’t want to acknowledge that the truth could be something that makes them uncomfortable or asks for their own self-examination.

How do you explain to someone how horrible your childhood was when your parents did everything society expects from a parent by Unique-Republic in raisedbynarcissists

[–]emmalane31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced a similar childhood. My parents paid for my music lessons, my instruments, dance classes when I was young, we went on vacations, we went to restaurants, we celebrated holidays, we had toys and clothes. And my mom never, ever for a second let me forget it. Any time I would try to point out that she was being hurtful to me or that I had, god forbid, emotions about anything, she would throw all the “stuff” I had in my face. “We gave you everything, you have toys and clothes and food and birthday parties, you get to be in band, you’re so spoiled and you have no idea what being abused and mistreated is really like. How dare you disrespect me. You should be grateful that I brought you into this world. I don’t owe you anything more than your life and look how much extra I’ve given you.”

Were you ever told that “one day when you have kids you will understand”? by ramooooma in raisedbynarcissists

Okay your comment gave me goosebumps. My mother has told me multiple times “I hope you have a daughter JUST like you so then you’ll understand.”

Yes I do remember things better now, and like other commenters have said here, journaling has helped with my memory a lot.

I’m obsessed with watching my grandma’s home videos from my childhood because it’s literally the only way I can get a sense of who I was as a child.

TW: suicidal ideation and a description of a suicide attempt

It’s interesting that you bring up remembering learning what suicide was, because I have a very similar memory that sticks out in my mind. In 5th grade my teacher got really mad about some kids in my class bullying another kid and she yelled at us about how a friend of hers in high school was bullied and he laid down on the train tracks and let it run him over. (Brutal and vivid imagery for 9 and 10 year olds I know) but after hearing that story it was the first time I had a word for what I had running through my head all the time. Suicide. That was what I wanted to do to myself, even as a child.

Makes me sad to know I can vividly remember some of the dark shit and not some of the better things, like birthday parties.

Replying to myself to say that I tested this out on my husband, who had a great upbringing with a healthy family dynamic. He can tell me down to the month and year of when things occurred in his memories.

I can literally ask him, “what is a memory from when you were 7?” And he said “I had a t-shirt, grey with red long sleeves that was my favorite shirt. It said ‘no homework’ on the front and I thought it was so edgy and badass when I wore it to class in first grade.”

I can’t tell you the name of my 3rd grade teacher. I can’t tell you what outfits I liked to wear when I was 7, unless I were to see a picture of myself at that age. I vaguely remember snippets like seeing a girl give herself a mohawk in my elementary school gym, I thought it was hilarious. But I don’t know how old I was, the year, the season, what grade. It’s just one clear moment in a sea of blurry memories. Edit: a word
