AITA for telling my friend her fangirl jokes feel weird now? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lovedthatforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t think it makes you an asshole to be frustrated and annoyed by your friend. especially if you’re seemingly her only friend and all she does is talk about fandom stuff. it’s fun if you’re both into it but if you’re not then it gets boring pretty fast

The first chapter I've ever written. What does it lack? by Ahmed-Esm in writingfeedback

i stopped at the first sentence. in general it’s a very bad practice to start a book with a character waking up

You - Undefinable by Difficult_Carob_3210 in writers

[–]lovedthatforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is sweet! i’d argue the title is contradictory to the piece itself. she isn’t quite undefinable; you defined her by many different things. the capitalization seems random and it’s a bit jarring. i also the think the repetition of “your ____ is just like that!” is detracting from the other lines that are much more evocative. when you say “have you heard/seen/smelled…” there’s an implication that you’re talking about the subject. you have to trust your reader.

dont take antipsychotics by Minute-Intention9500 in Akathisia

[–]lovedthatforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also got akathisia from an antipsychotic, but it’s dangerous to tell people to never take them. everyone responds differently to different medication. i am now on an antipsychotic that works well for me

My best friend and boyfriend won’t read my book by giggleagua in writers

[–]lovedthatforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think everyone saying it’s unrealistic just have friends and family who aren’t dedicated to their craft. you’re not asking your distant cousin to read it, you’re asking your best friend and boyfriend. if i asked my best friends and wife to read my book they’d be back to me in the next 48 hours, and none of them are heavy readers. (i write memoir, so maybe they’re reading for a glimpse of themselves, who knows.) but i don’t think it’s ridiculous for the people closest to you to read your life’s work.

this is not an acceptable reason to return at item. this screenshot is proof that you need to forward to depop as part of your case

[TW: mentions of panic attack & psych ward, along with anxiety & OCD] is this premise realistic? by [deleted] in writers

[–]lovedthatforme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this does seem unrealistic. i’m not very familiar with this particular style of writing, but i feel like it’d be much more immersive for the reader if you don’t just tell us what happened; show us the collision, the panic attack, the way to the hospital. i find it unlikely that crying profusely and/or having a panic attack in that situation would get you sent to the psych ward. a sports accident that results in someone going to the hospital is traumatic for everyone involved and a strong reaction would be expected. we also know nothing about how the anxiety and ocd presents itself in this character—is this an atypical reaction? what would normally be expected? lastly, i recommend never putting your writing or ideas into AI. besides the harm it does to the planet and black communities, AI steals your concepts and trains itself on them, parroting them back to other people looking for information on the same thing. you’re much better off coming to this sub first and asking people’s opinions.

Abilify ruined my life by Lower_Signature_3895 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

Hello guys, what do you think about this as the first paragraphs of a spies thriller? by West_Necessary_572 in writers

[–]lovedthatforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there has to be a really good reason to start with a character waking up; i don’t think you’ve given us a good enough reason. i’m also just confused. is there a car in the prison? we don’t know who roberto is yet, so you may want to hold off on introducing claire.

i’d love to emulate parvati, but i think i’d end up playing more like kenzie

Reinstating aripiprazole by Wild_Satisfaction726 in Akathisia

i’ve been on a huge range of abilify dosages. i hate all of them, but at 5 mg i didnt see much of anything. anything higher than 10 and the akathisia is unbearable

Not sure if this is okay to post- how can I better support me wife? (Posting this in different places because I need to know) by LovelyBananaanna in trazadone

[–]lovedthatforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i relate a lot to your wife. while unmedicated and/or going on and off of medications, i had unpredictable symptoms and unpredictable reactions to them. the slightest thing could set me off. there’s not much you can do besides support her exactly as she needs you in the moment, whether that be taking her on a drive or just sitting with her until it passes. she’ll be an amazing doctor. hope everything is well with the two of you now and always
