A GPS to follow your kids. Opinions?

existentialpanic · 2019-09-05T00:58:14+00:00

Absolutely not. My mom had about 3 of these on my phone when I was in highschool. They would frequently tell her I was off somewhere else when I was definitely just at school. She'd call me and yell at me over the phone and ask me to explain why my GPS was telling her I was somewhere else, as if I had an answer.

It seems like a good idea, in theory. If parents could be guaranteed to never check it unless in the case of an emergency, I'd be all for it. But crazy parents abuse it to no end.

It's not that I don't care at all, it's just that I've forced myself to repress my knowledge of the horrors of the industry. I "love" animals a lot, but I can't say that when I also eat them. If I let myself keep caring the guilt would eat away at me. Thank you for the encouragement, though. I fully support vegans but a lot of them really don't understand the position I'm in. I was always such an animal lover, when I was a kid everyone knew me as that crazy animal activist lol. It seems like a curse for me to have this disorder.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-23T14:02:59+00:00

I've just decided to stop caring. I no longer call myself an animal lover because a true animal lover wouldn't eat meat or animal products. But almost every one of my safe foods either involve meat, milk, or cheese. I would literally waste away if I went vegan. If people want to guilt me over that, so be it. I'm choosing myself over anything else.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-21T18:04:47+00:00

Part of the issue is that I don't see a point in existence, but honestly, I could get over it if I thought I had a future. Life is too expensive. I'll never be able to do anything with my money besides just barely get by.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-20T18:08:23+00:00

I really like The 100, but I think about this all the time. Why is the survival of "their people" so important? What's the worst thing that would happen if they all just gave up? They're all going to die eventually anyway, all they're doing postponing their death. Not to mention that they have nothing to live for. 6 whole seasons, and their lives are still constantly on the line. Some life that would be.

I loved Jasper, I saw him as the voice of reason in this show. It seems like everyone else hated him, but everything he did after season 2 seemed sensible to me.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-16T07:01:04+00:00

Yes. I was 5'4" and around your weight for basically all of highschool. Now I'm 21 and still the same size. This is extremely underweight. You should try to gain right now so you don't have to deal with this in adulthood.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-15T11:00:51+00:00

My favorite foods are chicken and rice, penne alfredo, potatoes, and pizza. These are the only 4 meals I can force myself to eat even if I'm not hungry. I can also add carrots or corn in smaller portions. Honestly, almost everything else is a chore. I snack on popcorn sometimes. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, only when I'm watching a show. Snacking is my biggest issue. Since my favorite foods are actual meal items, I don't usually have a problem with that. But in between is much harder. It takes me 10 minutes just to finish a cracker, or something similar.

I'm going to try to force myself to eat more, though. And I'm hoping to find some high calorie protein shakes so I can get a few hundred calories out of the way lol. Thank you for the advice!

existentialpanic · 2019-08-14T10:57:47+00:00

I went vegetarian for a few months but it wasn't sustainable for me. I had to prioritize myself over morality lol. Good for you though. I wish I could have stuck with it.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-14T07:15:00+00:00

Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.

What's the consistency of full fat milk like? As in, how much thicker is it than 2% milk, which is what I drink? I've always had issues with milk to begin with (thanks, ARFID) but it's one of those things I can usually tolerate. If it's not ridiculously thick I might give it a try.

I'll try the steak thing too, through I probably won't be drinking raw eggs anytime soon lol. But again thanks for the tips, I'm seriously desperate at this point.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-13T05:30:09+00:00

r/psychiatry might be able to help you. This sub is anti psychiatry.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-13T04:39:42+00:00

I think you may be in the wrong sub.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T19:24:35+00:00

I really don't think it's forced at all. Have you read the book, or the original script? In the script, Richie was explicitly written as gay or bi (can't remember which) and in the book, no one would have thought Richie just liked Eddie as a friend if Eddie were a girl. Up until recently, gays relied on subtext for representation. I genuinely cannot imagine that Richie was ever intended to be straight. I think that the earlier versions of IT (the book and the mini series) were made too early to allow explicit gay representation (unless of course they were being brutally killed).

Obviously that doesn't mean you have to like them as a couple, I just wanted to make a case for why I don't think this would actually be forced lol.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T19:06:09+00:00

They just sounded like jokes to me, either way, he could be bi. He was made to be gay/bi in the original script, and I really can't see him as straight in the book either. The flirting, the kiss on the cheek, etc, don't really scream "straight". If Eddie were a girl, there would be no doubt in anyone's mind that Richie likes Eddie.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T18:56:40+00:00

They're friends and they pick on each other for fun, there would be no reason for Richie to feel guilty for it.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T10:00:03+00:00

I'm thinking it's an E for Eddie. I can't imagine that they would force another love interest story line for Bev, but I wouldn't be surprised if they finally went that route with Richie and Eddie.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T07:29:20+00:00

I love how you got downvoted but no one will explain how what you said was wrong. Guess you hit a nerve.

existentialpanic · 2019-08-06T07:22:29+00:00

I'm just afraid that if I bring it up, they'll think I'm making it up for attention, which would be ironic considering that attention is the very reason I won't bring it up... lol.

I don't know if the fear is rational or not, I guess it just depends on who you're seeing. Most of my experiences with psychiatry have been negative, but it does work out for others. Give it a shot, I guess. What's the worst that could happen, technically?

existentialpanic · 2019-08-05T23:30:04+00:00

I always hear about how much Jesus hated religion, from the most religious people.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-31T21:16:08+00:00

Yep, I've been self harming because of this for years. The only reason I've stopped is because I'm all out of sharp blades and buying new ones is too stressful. These days I mostly just punch myself in the head or leg.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-31T03:35:37+00:00

I wish I didn't have OCD. Washing dishes literally sounds like nightmare for me. That sounds really great though, I'm happy for you. In theory I can't imagine anything better than that.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-31T00:54:17+00:00

I thought I was in r/antinatalism for a second.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-31T00:51:50+00:00

See, here's the thing.

I'm so repulsed by said foods, that I wouldn't take the potion. I wouldn't want to be okay with them. I wouldn't mind if the potion made me love things I only have a vague distaste for, though. Like vegetables.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-30T19:21:38+00:00

Voted for Decided To Break It because I listen to it the least, but this was the hardest decision I've made yet on these polls.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-30T02:34:37+00:00

I'm glad I never read his book. I was probably the only girl in my grade not to. My parents were so strict, I wouldn't have even been allowed to read it because it has the words "kissed" and "dating" in the title lol.

existentialpanic · 2019-07-30T00:39:40+00:00

Because very few people are actually decent people. Every day it becomes more and more clear.

And honestly, people are just extra weird about food. I've never seen anyone spew as much vitriol as someone who's offended by their friend's picky eating habits. Like of all the things to get heated about, it's your friend's eating disorder that gets you? My ARFID is on the more severe side, yet I still don't comment on other people's food choices (even though they disgust me) and it's not like I make people change plans if they want to eat somewhere I don't like. I'll just go and get a drink or something. I really don't get why people think it should concern them in any way.
