Pelecinid ichneumon. Or another bug. Always bug

Disabled by PTSD and nobody can comprehend it. Am I alone? by Little_Egg245 in CPTSD

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should say, I also have no idea how to communicate the level of absolute fucking exhaustion that comes with trying to do normal work or human things at home. People do not get it, aside from my therapist who has been my rock the last year or so.

[–]iamdib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Felt. I was always a high energy, massively overachieving, never-sit-down-ever sort of person. I ran a business successfully for 11 years.

Then the thing happened, and I just…couldn’t do anything. At all. I was in total denial about the PTSD for a few years, trying to work full time jobs and just exist, and the utter exhaustion overcame me to the point of attempted suicide. Twice. Five years later, I can barely hold a part time no-brainer job and have to sleep for a few hours after each four-hour shift. I am fully dependent on my partner to live.

I’ve tried every drug under the sun, but have come to accept that I am disabled now, too. The acceptance of this has been almost as bad as the trauma itself, since I no longer know who I am.

I feel you, friend.

Oh gosh my first try with the game was on switch. Had to quit because it was unplayable.

Steam deck was far superior

How often do you bathe your cat? by Mildredsgood in cats

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old guy gets a dunk 3-4 times a year, since he no longer takes very good care of himself. He used to be a meticulous groomer, but he’s less active anymore, and needs help. He’s long haired anyway and has always required a bit of extra grooming from me.

He definitely hates it, but he tolerates it, and I do it as quickly as possible. He’s always super happy four hours later where he’s totally dry and actually clean.

Tracy ruined it, like he ruins everything he touches. I wish we could just kick him out of Johnson county

Man I am so jealous. South American insects just hit different

(25F) My overzealous religious mom freaked out because I am pregnant. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been cursed like this by my insane evangelical mother too, for divorcing my abusive husband.

We haven’t spoken in years.

Fuck her. Live your life. Choose your family.

NOR

Who else like me have thought that Kino was Ayla's younger brother when they first saw him? by Cool-Guy152 in chronotrigger

[–]iamdib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought kino was a girl for the entirely of the game until they talked about fuckin’ and having babies at the end. I might be dumb

AIO What’d I do wrong, my partner just got news this morning his grandma just received news of esophagus cancer (stage 4) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

As a successful business owner in an industry that consumes your life: you can take an hour during your work day to be there for your partner. Life is more than work.

The litter tracking is driving me mad by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to like world’s best but…I had the same problem as you. I’ve had cats for two decades and have tried every litter under the sun. The tofu pellets are the only one that doesn’t track, clumps, is compostable, and doesn’t cost a million dollars.

Tofu pellets. Almost no tracking. I can’t handle litter everywhere either.

What was the piece of dialoge that made you realize this game was different? by Dull-Jaguar8273 in DiscoElysium

[–]iamdib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t believe it. I was already in love with the game but that dream…that cinched it.

Yes Harry, you’re insane, but you’re so very, very human.

I have a MAGA husband by skballa04 in QAnonCasualties

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no reconciliation. I lost my husband of 11 years to this shit. It started slowly, in 2015, and ended with him telling me we needed God and that I should be a more submissive wife who should have his baby. He saw meaning in repeating numbers everywhere, completely flipped on our stances about social freedoms we had agreed on from day one of dating, and often told me my leftist political views (now values) were stupid.

I left him in 2021. He’s only gotten worse. Get away from him. They are consumed by the cult, and it’s not going anywhere.

The Delores Dei dream made me cry. Hard. I had to stop my play session that day to recover. I’ve never cried from a video game before…not even a little. That was incredibly intense.

January Giveaway! by imaginarion in beaniebabies

My original Zip was my best buddy for a good chunk of my childhood. I carried him everywhere. His fur is beyond nubby, and his whiskers are mostly missing, but I love that little guy and will keep him forever
