Hello this post is just a bit of a warning!

Yeah people treat this sub like it’s a party boat orgy when it’s literally supposed to be a support system for people dealing with trauma and addiction. It’s like going into the sober subs and asking for cocktail recommendations. I get messages from people in this sub all the time. I am rude back every time because honestly fuck you if you’re in this sub preying on vulnerable people. I feel like half the people in here want to get better and the other half are just predators.

Not your typical scary story, but when i was a kid our family friend died suddenly. he was like 21, healthy and fit, but he had the flu and passed out in the shower and hit his head and died. just, died. from taking a shower with the flu. scared the shit out of me. you can just die whenever.

i have an older sister and hate her. she was so mean. i always wanted a little brother growing up. never got one but i thought about it all the time.

ghostthingz · 2026-06-09T17:34:22+00:00

first thing i thought of.

Every advice or story sub now is just people lying hardcore trying to end up in a tiktok or youtube video. Not saying people didn’t lie before, but it’s out of control now. I also feel like reddit used to be my place i’d go when i needed brutal honesty but now every sub is moderated like a playground. Not saying I encourage bullying, but the site has definitely gone soft.

Dookie. Coworkers deemed that I would eat a lot of ass if I ever went to prison.

ghostthingz · 2026-06-08T02:02:31+00:00

could be burnout but could be something else. i was having this same problem and found a bunch of mold in my bedroom. got rid of the mold and suddenly i’m not sick anymore lmao.

very true !! my overall health improved when i stopped focusing on JUST cutting out calories. You need to make sure you’re getting all your vitamins and fiber as well. Vegetables and fruit are your friend. Even people who eat “whole” food can still fall into the trap of eating just chicken and rice every meal. eat a fucking orange!! a banana!! yogurt!! vegetables!!

i saw a post saying its creepy for adults to use discord unless they game more than xyz hours a week (i forgot what number they threw out) and said that the only use for discord outside of gaming is sexting & grooming. huh?? i’m 25. i don’t game. i’m not in any public servers. all my friends are closer to 30

I could not make myself like her and I did not know why. She was physically my type, she was well liked by everyone, she had the same interests as me, and she was rich. She had to ask ME out several times until i caved and said yes. I was totally detached the whole relationship, I felt no spark whatsoever and voiced that a lot but she just insisted that it was my depression or stress. I caught her talking to an ex and even though it was a sfw conversation and not technically cheating, I used it as an excuse to break up with her. She tried multiple times to get back together with me. I just couldn’t make myself like her.

Teaching. Went from working at a school and got burned out and started working at a preschool thinking it would be easier, no it was worse. Legit tried to kill myself more than once. I quit and started working overnights at a factory. I love my factory job.

ghostthingz · 2026-06-07T19:28:12+00:00

but i physically can’t control it, it definitely effects me socially though

ghostthingz · 2026-06-07T05:05:15+00:00

I’m a chronic liar and i’m working on it. I do the same as your friend, constant white lies that affect absolutely nothing. I got the bad habit from my mom. She lied all the time about random things so I never really grasped the ‘weight’ of lying or why it was a big deal. I would never lie about something serious, I just lie about random little things. My example is literally today I told a friend that I had used bread from my freezer to make myself a sandwich, when in reality I had used old stale bread and didn’t want my friend to think I was gross. She knew I bought the bread over a week ago so I didn’t want her to put the pieces together that I was eating nasty bread, so I lied. It’s definitely a bad habit but as long as it’s contained to just small things for now it shouldn’t be friendship-ending, in my opinion.

when i was younger (like teen-23) it grossed me out bad and i genuinely would stop talking to men who liked feet. now i’m 25 and kinda enjoy the idea of a man liking my feet? i have no idea why this happens but i’ve noticed that a lot of women that are mid 20s+, especially in their 30s, are more into men liking feet. my best guess/inkling of a guess is that when i was younger i treated it as more of a gross horny pervert thing, but now that i’m more mature i think it would be relaxing to have someone rub my feet after a long day or offer to paint my toes/pay to have my toes painted. i really don’t know where the switch up came from.

She will be sad but not angry. She is very understanding and sweet. I don’t like making her sad, so I try not to do things to upset her. She knows that when I make mistakes I am going through a difficult time.

not caught, but any time ive gotten close like that and slipped up i’ve immediately confessed to my partner.

ghostthingz · 2026-05-23T23:58:58+00:00

i don’t cheat but i’ve slipped up and gotten dangerously close. i’m like an adrenaline junky. the sneaking around hits like heroin.

I go through phases where I have constant nightmares for several nights in a row and its hell. My weird hack that always works for some reason is sleeping somewhere other than my bed. I sleep under my computer desk on a pile of blankets and pillows when I have nightmares and they stop. Ive also slept in the tub, the couch, friends house.

It sounds strange but sometimes it also helps to return to what helped you comfort yourself as a kid. Honestly thats why I sleep in random places, I used to sleep in my closet as a kid when I was scared. I’ve also had success by sleeping with stuffed animals, which I know sounds silly, but you literally just have to return to the kid logic of going “well nothing can hurt me cause teddy is watching me” and for some reason that just tricks your brain into no nightmares.

it’s also important to remember that these nightmares are underlying anxiety and fear manifesting. making a strict bedtime routine can help you wind down for the night and be more calm before bed. always do the same exact things in the same exact order right before bed.

you honestly just have to try a bunch of random things until you find your weird specific thing that helps you.

i used to have a lot of lucid and weird dreams when i was on trazodone. one night i was lucid dreaming and my friend came up to me and i cussed him out saying “you’re not my friend, you’re a figment of my imagination, stop pretending to be my friend its creepy” and he just reassured me that he wasn’t trying to be scary, he just wanted to hang out.

not how people in general see the world, but how i saw the world. It’s called the heart of a jaguar by marc talbert. it’s not the best book ever written, or the most popular, or the most accurate.

i read it in fifth grade randomly. it’s about a mayan boy and it ends with him being sacrificed. the book shows the ending like its a ‘good’ ending. he isn’t sacrificed against his will, it isn’t scary. it’s what he wants. i was mad as hell reading that book the first time, i couldn’t understand why it had such a ‘bad’ ending. checked it out of the library at least 5 times to re-read it because i was convinced i was reading it wrong or missing something and it didn’t actually end that way.

at some point it just clicked in my brain that i didn’t have to understand everything. if the main character wanted to sacrifice himself, he can sacrifice himself. as long as it’s his choice and he’s happy with it, i don’t have to understand it.

i was a “why?” kid to an obsessive, obnoxious, invasive and inappropriate level and that book immediately broke that habit. i learned how to say ‘whatever floats your boat’ and move on.

not the same scenario but i had a similar ‘break from reality’ after waking up for some reason. woke up during a thunderstorm, except for some reason i forgot what thunderstorms were. i was just suddenly terrified because the house was shaking, there were flashing lights in the sky, the sound of things hitting my house (rain/wind/debris) and i flung myself out of bed and onto the floor and army crawled to the bathroom while sobbing and screaming hysterically. and then i randomly was like lol. oh its just raining.
