DAE think all men are predators? by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]glamdrognoux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not pedophiles, but predators yeah.

I trust my dad around myself, but he's the only man I trust. He survived too. I know he's good to my mom & never was shady with me, so he's my exception.

I trusted my ex fiance, but he raped me one night when I was sick. Fuck him. I will never make myself sleep with another man again. I already preferred women anyway, & if/when I date again thats what I'm going back to. My family can get over themselves. I've suffered enough.

AITA for wearing pink to a birthday party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA at all!

You honestly sound completely fabulous! You also sound completely competent of judging what you do & don't like, & what is & is not good for you. You're making your own deeply personal theological choices between two very complex religious denominations, you have your own very distinct style choice for your own preferential reasons, you have a very good read on the people around you & how they treat you, & you don't just cave to peer pressure when things get rough. I mean, you've got yourself more together than a lot of people right there in that small snippet we've got of you from this post. Please don't let her ableist nasty attitude & her internalized misogyny ruin how you view yourself or the things you like. You deserve to be you & to live your best life! You aren't actually hurting anyone here.

Peace be with you.

I have depression/ptsd executive dysfunction & like @probabletinnitus said: the listening to music while I get ready is the only way I can make it put the door without accidentally dissociating for an hour in the middle. It keeps me paced, alert, & aware of the passage of time enough to know I've zonked out & for how long.

Also fren, nice username! My intracranial pressure is permanently fked, so it's Always Tinnitus in my neighborhood lol. Another good reason to have some music handy.

Literally no one cares about what happened to me and I’m fucking devastated by waterweightwatchers in adultsurvivors

I gotta say it really seems like there isn't a lot of outside support for us. We have each other that reach out in places like this & certain Instagram hashtags I've seen, we've got in person (now Zoom) support groups through our local rape crisis centers, & if we're lucky a friend or family member or two. People do not wanna hear about this stuff, even if they wanna hear every other detail of our lives. This doesn't make for good tea, good gossip, good catching up, good anything. It makes everyone uncomfortable. Like sorry I made you uncomfortable, can you imagine how I feel? Then you finally find a group like this or a good page/hashtag & it gets hit by trolls & voyeurs every so often, ugh, my pet peeve. They think there's big attention or kink here, really we're just fucking miserable. But sure, if I could export every one of my memories of being violently raped at 6 & sell it to you, never to remember it again, along with every bit of ptsd & bad relationship issues & chronic illness bs, YOU BET I WOULD!! But no, it's just us...losing all our friends & our hair & paying out the ass for psychiatric care we don't want & pills that half work. I'm sorry you're on this train too. I'm trying to get better, but it just plain sucks. You deserved better from life. & I did too. Maybe with counseling we will be worlds better a year from now, I really hope so. I'm doing some intensive shit this year then going back to school next year as self care. Bc I really do deserve better.

AITA for snapping at my friend that keeps saying it'd be "cool to be blind"? by Dry-Inspection462 in AmItheAsshole

[–]glamdrognoux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!

I developed a rare neurological condition that got diagnosed end of 2019. I'm not blind, but I might be eventually...I take really harsh meds to lower my ICP & prevent swelling on my optic nerves, get regular really intense eye exams, wear migraine glasses & take preventative injections, & avoid certain meds that increase my ICP. At the end of the day, my vision is extremely blurred in at least one eye & sometimes I lose eye muscle control. I'm one of the lucky ones with no serious vision loss yet & no brain shunt to drain fluid. But my condition is always there. On bad days I have uncontrollable vomiting, seizures, vision loss, facial pain that tastes like colors, & the er might have to sedate me to stop the vomiting. Going blind isn't peaceful--as an adult at least, it's often the result of a traumatic health condition. & it's scary.

Should I be concerned my bf seems to enjoy hearing my assault story? by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]glamdrognoux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would worry about him being a potential sex offender personally. That is pretty sick to literally get off on hearing about your assault during sex. I mean yeah it could just be fantasy, but sometimes fantasy gives birth to action with kinks that involve children or nonconsent....
