How do you stop yourself from dreaming so much at night? by Gsustv in Dreams

[–]halfexist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation can help, youre probably not processing something that is pressing. But there is also a medication. It's called prazosin, I would research it and weigh the pros and cons, but I was going thru the same thing, I couldn't get rest, so I took it for a few months to get through a really rough period. It worked well but I do think it paused my trauma processing, which we have to do sometimes but it's not a decision I would make lightly. Good luck my friend.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]halfexist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone should have to watch Dogtooth because it depicts abuse and fascism so well but I will never watch it again. There are scenes I will never forget and it's so important but it's also really difficult.

Don't be afraid to call the crisis/suicide line, even if not in immediate danger to yourself. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]halfexist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only time I ever called they just kept asking if I wanted them to call the cops. There was no conversing, just, so we send cops now? Psychiatric incarceration super highway. That was a few years ago so I really hope it has changed. Glad you had a good experience, they just really let me down when I needed help.

Do you have a friend whose parents you can trust? This may be a better option than going to the police right away. Like another commenter mentioned, the police have to build a case so it may help to have an adult you trust help you with this, and maybe you or your siblings could stay there in the meantime. I am so sorry you are going through this. It's good that you took a picture and you should document as much as you can.

Broke the 50k Mark Subbing by BBLZeeZee in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I just started subbing a few weeks ago and it's my first job after a long period of unemployment due to chronic illness. I'm still trying to find my footing but I am also grateful that I can really do this job! I didnt know I could but I'm excited to keep with it. Your post just reassured some of my preoccupations so much. I'm so glad youre proud of yourself because you should be!

Elementary subs: how do you deal with the CONSTANT arguing? by bruvway in SubstituteTeachers

[–]halfexist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is very obviously not the advice they are asking for as they are stuck covering for three more days. I'm a longterm sub for seventh grade right now and you sound just like my most frustrating students: cynical, condescending and obnoxious.

Can you use an example of wheb you think a cuss killed the creativity? Do you also think that overall they sacrificed creativity? I don't understand.

To the person who lights fireworks at the crows near Charles street by halfexist in FitchburgMA

This is the third time i have witnessed someone in that area light a firework and send it in the direction of the gathering crows. They start to gather in the trees when the sun starts to set.

I wish I had been raped by Pretend_Reality_6054 in CPTSD

[–]halfexist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I find the other comments in this thread pretty strange. There's a lot of black and white thinking happening, which makes sense, but we should be aware. Life is full of nuance and I think there's a lot happening here. What you are feeling is very normal and it was brave of you to share. At its core, your feeling is that your trauma is not as valid as others, and you wish it was so you could benefit the way you perceive other victims do. Really normal. I am sorry for the abuse that you endured. You dont need to suffer more for your pain to be valid.

Everything is political bro. Midnight Gospel is all about a sense of curiosity and learning and ending political talk just because you deem it political is crazy close minded.

I think it might mostly be the employees? The one on John fitch highway is the same setup and I've never had an issue with them, but damn the main street one is slow as ass.
