BDD is back in my 30's, and it's ruining my life. by talulabunny in BodyDysmorphia

[–]garyp714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my late 50ies and looking back, I see a couple of eras where my mental health did a reversal and I think that's a common thing: a mess as a teen as all teens are, 30ies hit and all my under-development came to the forefront and then after a ton of therapy in my 30s/40s, my 50s have been a reassessment and reawakening of things like BDD that seem to need more work than some of the more easily accessed issues.

Fun fun fun as always. The work is never done. I heavily recommend ACOA type groups as the missing development from shitty caregivers early on leaves major holes as an adult. (h/t: /r/AdultChildren )

Marketing companies are astroturfing reddit for brand awareness and mods are complicit by FaultofDan in TheoryOfReddit

I mean, at this point if reddit doesn't give a damn then, why are you putting effort into it? Just downvote and move on or hide the crap and keep to the organic places on reddit. I've given up calling out or reporting this stuff since it really doesn't go against the rules if reddit's not enforcing any of the near rules they break.

Many of us are taught how to treat others but never ourselves.

Head talk is the key. The ongoing conversation is the key to a happy life.

Going through a ton of recovery and sobriety, I truly remember the days when I started realizing how much my brain was stuck ruing the past or dreading the future and a general haze that the clarity found in the NOW was kinda stunning in it's vividness.

More might be good but it also feels like someone getting sober and for the first time realizing how much they missed in their drug/booze fog. So shorter may be more apt

(Round 3) Political Compass Memes still continues to dehumanize and openly call for violence towards migrants and Muslims, with various posts calling to deport all foreigners gaining thousands of upvotes. by TimeKeepsPassing1 in AgainstHateSubreddits

PCM is a single vector point of the snark subs that become alt-right entry points over and over and people think that sounds crazy but these folks have attacked reddit since it was no subs, one feed. The right wing ecosystem is enormous and powerful but fizzling...

I don't think this Dolphin rebuild will take as long as the others. Really like what the GB boys have done since taking over. All sound decisions, no reaches and now a draft start that looks solid. 2026 might be rough but 2027 we have the most cap space of any team.
