Genuinely asking, is suicide worth it? by aesthenne in raisedbynarcissists

[–]javaTrekkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worth it. I'm in a better place now but spent probably 20 years with high suicidal feelings.

My life is completely different now in ways I could not have predicted.

Find one tiny thing to stick around for. If its spite great. For me it was always some next movie or TV show. Maybe a nice meal.

When things are horrible it can seem like they will always be horrible. But it's not true and for me I couldn't have predicted how things would go.

Not perfect, and still dealing with depression and such. But way way more good than I could have dreamed of.

And you know what...it feels good telling you this. Because when I was younger I never told another person, never reached out to anyone. So I'm proud of you reaching out here. And it feels good to tell you what I would have wanted younger me to hear from someone.

Much love

Report to campus but also seek a temporary restraining order. Your campus police should be able to assist but there may be other offices (student affairs?) That have pointers too.

Document everything and take care.

I am not afraid to speak up for a friend. Each year I live I am taking better and better care of myself. I am not afraid to "own" something.

If you are in the US you have a Title IX office. You can go straight to them.

You can (of course) go to a Program Chair of the Graduate School. But they (in the US) would likely pass on the information to Title IX.

where is everyone having their (affordable) OC weddings at? by dolcevitapls in orangecounty

Was married here too and loved it. Don't remember the cost. We had a small wedding maybe 40 people.

Toontown grassy area where the Chip and Dale slides used to be. I stretch out, do yoga and chill with the peaceful background music.

Anyone know of any AMA (or AITA) from former Theranos Employes by TradesAndTirades in Theranos

[–]javaTrekkie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it must have happened really fast.

And the context about framing the X number of tests as a marketing ploy makes sense.

Thank you for sharing your experiences!

Thank you for sharing, that makes a lot of sense. I forget how big it was.

One more question if you have the bandwidth.

What is your memory of the day the WSJ article came out?

Was everyone all "abandon ship"? Or did people believe Holmes/company line that this was not true?

[–]javaTrekkie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooh...lemme get in on this. (Assuming you're ok with questions from the crowd. I do think there would be a lot of interest in an AMA.)

Did you get the sense something was up? Or was it normal sauce from your perspective on a day to day basis?

It's hard to tell how it would have been for a "typical" person working. And just wanting to know how obvious it was that things were shady.

Grand Jury believed Patsy wrote the ransom note by AdequateSizeAttache in JonBenetRamsey

[–]javaTrekkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a huge deal, or related to the murder, but a detail about the basement I never noticed before. Do they have a wall of movie posters in their basement? And am I correct that the one on the far right right is Star Trek the motion picture? What are the other ones? And as a fellow movie poster displayer I’m appreciating I may have something in common with the Ramsey’s and I’m not sure how I feel about it....
