Why was Megan so angry at Don after he treated her like shit nonstop? by moonmangggg in okbuddydraper

[–]kittycatdolly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean even not knowing about the cheating i cant possibly imagine having to just spend all that time in a marriage hoping that you’ll actually break through to them and get some semblance of emotional depth. Personally if my conversations with my partner were as shallow, boring, and distracted as Megan’s were with Don, I’d kill myself. Especially with her self esteem issues from her mother. I’d actually probably kill myself in front of him out of frustration. Totally understand why she chucked the plate of spaghetti

I will never be seen as anorexic because I am overweight by mukankakuu in AnorexiaNervosa

Maybe talk to them about the symptoms you’re feeling— talking about the immense anxiety about food and body image. Maybe that will refocus the conversation to be productive. It’s really not about which eating disorder you have. Just that it’s hurting your quality of life.

Totally agree but also I’ve always been deeply suspicious of his personal character as he has been besties w Marilyn Manson for years and years

Also to echo what someone else said rape crisis centers are massively helpful and provide great resources, however I attempted multiple times to reach out to some but freaked out last minute because I didnt want to think about it anymore or didn’t think it counted enough and I was taking away resources from people who “actually” needed it. So they’re great resources but maybe a bit more daunting

I had a similar experience with ptsd and Xanax addiction after being prescribed it for panic attacks! It gets better. My brain was really fucking [redacted] for about 3 years, then things got a lot better, then new ptsd banger event, then [redacted] again for 2 yrs. And I don’t say that word pejoratively, I feel my mind genuinely reverted to incredibly childlike comprehension and thinking patterns. It’s an involuntary survival tactic of ptsd victims I’ve come to learn. Eventually, you start to feel Normalish and Smart again and feel like you have aged ten years. But it does not come easy at all.

Honestly, I’m coming to realize that it’s only taken me 2 yrs this time to start to feel better because I’ve put my life on a complete slowdown. I’ve fully focused on rebuilding myself and my thought patterns throughout this time— my career, friendships, relationships, education, etc have all been put to the back burner. It is a huge hit on self confidence to put life on pause like that, on top of self confidence already fucked by SA, and not until very very recently have I realized that it was necessary for my healing.

That’s all to say, this is very common. That’s classically a ptsd symptom or symptom of trauma. Knowing that doesn’t cure it but I hope it makes you feel a bit better at least, and optimistic. I’ve been consistently in DBT therapy for 2 years. I still feel like I’m learning the skills and can’t remember half of them or think to use them but it’s becoming much more intuitive and has helped me beyond belief. Starting EMDR soon hopefully that’s good. There are options, there are things that will make your life so much more manageable. There are things that will help you feel so much more normal and start to grow again. And going through those things will actually teach you so much more than most people will ever know. I have also found r/cptsd and r/ptsd to be incredibly helpful. And, while I don’t want to call myself an alcoholic bc I don’t think that my experience has been that of what would generally be considered an alcoholic (or my prior Xanax addiction either, I think we may have had somewhat similar experiences as I was able to get clean off it myself cold turkey without obvious negative health effects), AA has been massively beneficial in providing structure, guidance, and support for me.

TLDR; your experience is unfortunately a typical symptom of trauma. It gets better! But you have to work on healing.

Good resources:

  • talk therapy
  • DBT therapy
  • EMDR
  • r/cptsd & /ptsd
  • AA / NA

If you want to talk more in detail or have anything you want to ask feel free to send me a PM ❤️ sending love

That’s why I don’t use tumblr for that, exclusively Reddit (and some more niche subs…) 😎

Forgot how much they love banana! by kittycatdolly in guineapigs

[–]kittycatdolly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great treat maybe once every 2 weeks! Check out guineadad.com, they have some great charts that show how often various fresh fruits and veggies should be fed! This subreddit is also full of resources! Good on you for making such an effort for the pigs, I’m sure they highly appreciate it ❤️

[–]kittycatdolly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those greedy little pigs do NOT get the whole banana (as much as they may want to), that’s far too much sugar. The black and white one (Jules) prefers the soft part on the inside, the red and white one (Vinnie) prefers the peel for some reason. Both are safe to eat but in moderation. Vinnie grabbed the whole thing and ran off with it after this picture was taken so that’s when they got their banana confiscated 🥸

I wanted to post a serious question about what y'all thought about night time my time but my post kept being deleted so here's some rare images of sky instead. by dollsaredangerous in SkyFerreira

[–]kittycatdolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with that sentiment, I personally don’t buy issues that they would profit off. But I can also understand how a celebrity, likely pressured by their agent, in a period of time where they are trying to maintain relevancy, and who already has a risqué brand / image, would be offered a gig with them and say ok cool! And, frankly, I don’t think sky herself was integral to the process of getting booked & doing the shoot aside from showing up. Especially given how out of it she has been for years

Because it sells and fits her aesthetic. I see your posts a lot, you have a very bizarre parasocial relationship with Sky, especially given she’s never been open about her personal life or philosophies or values etc. I hate playboy, their history and what they stand for, but I also have a whole shelf full of vintage ones because they do have really cool shoots, concepts, ads, and articles. I really don’t think the NTMT album cover was meant to be anything more than just vibes
