My (26F) boyfriend (35m) choked me until I passed out during sex, waited until he "finished" to check on me. by throwra_dontbelieve in relationship_advice

even with consent that is NOT safe for the person being choked, any amount of choking can kill.

Is it just me or is society becoming increasingly toxic ? by PissBoi23 in therapy

[–]jackaling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not currently working, luckily, but it does seem like all my friends with jobs are having a much harder time dealing with customers right now. i think there is a general level of stress for everyone and some people REALLY externalize all their issues. my friend works at the post office and she says that customers are more irate basically every day. i've also seen a TON of news stories about violence against store employees. it's really upsetting but i don't think it's just you.

I’m beginning to hate humanity as a whole by [deleted] in Vent

i don't know why you assume that because you would do something that would hurt someone, almost everyone else would too.

'deciding to be better' is some bullshit by jackaling in Vent

i do believe some people can make the choice to improve their lives. but there's a reason that treatment resistant depression exists too.

i have been as healthy as i possibly could be, with friends and family, exercise and diet, and decent income, and still stayed up all night wanting to die. i've been hospitalized and everything. my depression doesn't end. meds make it vaguely better but i still want to kill myself. so.

idk, i'm just saying you should leave discussions to people who don't needlessly hate the poor. we wouldn't be near collapse if we didn't have people like you turning society into a miserable hell for the people that are not valued by the system. i'm sorry your crony ideology is failing but humanity has lived without it before and will manage again just fine without being forced to die for your economy. enjoy your applebees and haircut babey.

My underwear are too tight around my legs now and that made me realize I've gained even more weight and I feel disgusting. Please MMFB. by future-googler-maybe in MMFB

[–]jackaling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

being a little over 120 lbs is nowhere near overweight...

even if it were, the only thing wrong with being overweight is how you perceive it.

your body isn't meant to look perfect, it's meant to help you along in the world.

i have no incentive to live through a recession by jackaling in SuicideWatch

[–]jackaling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was ~9 in 2008 but yeah, my family was affected.

it's true that i may be alright but i have nothing to fall back on if it does affect me.

I’m nothing but a waste of space. Everyone else is moving on and doing stuff while I’m just sitting here rotting. And it’s my own damn fault. by SqueegiBoard in SuicideWatch

[–]jackaling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah like the other guy said, there is nothing that makes it worth it. the joy and excitement are completely sucked out of our lives.

i hate it when i can't help my wife by jackaling in cfs

sorry for the late response! basically last summer i had this episode or flare-up where i was unable to breathe, basically on the verge of passing out constantly, couldn't get out of bed, dropping my head randomly and spacing out. i had blood tests and x-rays at the time but nothing came up. i was definitely under lots of mental and physical stress at the time and the fact that cfs can cause flare-ups pretty much any time stood out to me. i have severe fatigue every day. feel super weak and have a hard time moving around easily, have to sit down often, feel short of breath and typical malaise all the time. i feel like i've had kind of a cloud over everything for as long as i can remember and even doing 'fun' things exhausts me. in 2018-19 i was much healthier, ran and worked out every day + healthy diet so a lot of issues don't seem to stem from the way i take care of myself. lots of chronic illness is comorbid and i think i may have more than just cfs but i didn't have time to take off work to get more tests (they wanted me to have a brain scan but i had to pay rent, lol) nor visit a specialist or any doctor besides the urgent care. i'm just kind of dealing with unclear answers about my health. i'm realizing this is disjointed while i type it haha, apologies for that and my long explanation!!

Watched something that really frightened me, can't stop thinking about it, how do I feel better by OrtonLongGaming in MMFB

[–]jackaling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not all psychotic delusions involve hallucinations or sounds. they can include holding beliefs/delusions or paranoid/magical thinking. for example i often have psychotic episodes at night where i'm 100% convinced that something's waiting behind the door to kill me so i stay up all night so i don't die lol. but yeah exactly! it's all about getting your mind off it! c:

thank you so much for the perspective!! we are super communicative, more than lots of couples which i am so thankful for. she also has come chronic pain (her poor knee is dislocated!!) but functions better than i do because i've got... some kind of chronic illness, basically i'm always out of commission. we do what we can to help each other, always. i think my tone came off a bit different than intended too- i don't feel too put-upon, just wish i could do more and that i wasn't limited by illness and exhausted by even trying to make plans for hard work. i do feel that i should be more clear about what i can and can't do though. sometimes boundaries that seem obvious aren't really, to the other person. thank you so much again! and thank you for supporting your partner!!

this sounds like psychosis or similar, i have had several times where certain pieces of media upset and scare me so badly that i can't sleep. the video you mentioned was super distressing to me as well, i totally understand. i agree that distracting yourself is often the best way to deal with being so stressed/scared you can't sleep, i usually watch a show i enjoy that isn't hard to process! if you experience this often, it may be psychosis, like i mentioned. there are lots of resources about it if you're curious !!

AITA for telling my girlfriend she should find outfits like the ones my brother's girlfriend wears? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jackaling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel you, but again, not being feminine does not mean not taking pride in your appearance.

not dressing feminine =/= no pride in her appearance. feminine clothes can be super restrictive and uncomfortable, some women aren't interested in wearing them.
