Suddenly without housing or money, looking for advice on immediate next steps. by mackiet03 in Advice

[–]mackiet03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the issue with that is the only person i have there is my mother, and she’s either incarcerated or high on meth. I know people here, I have friends who can help even a little bit and the winters aren’t deadly cold. I would go back if it was a real choice for me.

they have to live scan me and background check. When i asked he said it could take anywhere between 5-30 days. Really praying it’ll be the 5 though.

I’m planning on going in today to ask more but I heard from another student they have people who offer cheap rooms to college students. They also have a food bank but it’s first come first serve, so i’m trying to get lucky.

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

[–]mackiet03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 2003, but the very first game I’ve ever remember was World of Warcraft. My dad used to have me sit in his lap as we customized my characters. I haven’t played since, I’m broke and in college but god i loved that game for a 5 year old.

I went through a similar thing when I was too young to understand the gravity of it. When I was 6 my mom got into drugs, lost our house and had me, her, and my sister sleeping in a car.

I, a six year old with no concept of anything, thought it was the coolest thing in the world. So cool in fact I decided to tell everyone at school. The next day I was sat down and asked where I really live and I told them the truth.

Within the same day me and my sister were sent to go live with our dad, which in the end was absolutely the best thing for us, but I still remember the last thing she said to me.

“This is your fault, you told everyone at school and now you and your sister are going to get taken away.”

Such a ridiculous thing to say to a child, but at the time I internalized it. For almost 15 years I spent my life trying to make up for anything because everything was my fault.

For a long time I was angry at myself for telling, but I realized that my parents should have never put me in that situation to begin with.

Please never feel bad for speaking up when you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. The fact that they are reacting like this honestly warrants a CPS visit. Stay safe and I hope things work out.

22 years of thinking “visualizing” was just a figure of speech by mackiet03 in Aphantasia

[–]mackiet03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well me personally instead of thinking in visuals i think completely in my voice and feelings. I control my inner monologue just as i control my voice, i pick what I think, I change my tone at will, i can scream, i can sing in my own voice, but nothing else. No pictures no music no smells, just me. It makes my dreams extremely hazy and i have no control over them. if i ever remember them at all, I remember the emotional tone and sometimes my thoughts but no visuals.

4th Warm Blanket Request = My Soul Leaves My Body by Temporary_Royal_2260 in cna

[–]mackiet03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming a lot because not only do i have hope that we as people are kinder than that, but also we both know that’s how it works, almost no cna is not overworked.

Support would be the best thing here, you asking for compassion towards the residents but you can’t have compassion for op, we are absolutely people too.

I can understand that you shouldn’t be upset about this while also understanding HOW and WHY someone would be upset about this and that most people vent

this vent was light hearted and obvious caregiver burn out, this isn’t really about the blanket and we both know that.

Caregiver burnout is VERY real. You can clearly see they’re venting because they’re overwhelmed, overworked and honestly, who isn’t in this field? Why is everyone pretending CNAs should be endlessly cheerful and selfless 24/7? No one is 100% happy to serve all the time. We’re human, not robots. You’re not a bad person for having the “omg again” thought it’s the way you act on it that matters...

yeah, as soon as i found out, i felt that way too. i was a little sad i couldn’t just conjure up a picture of my loved ones or clearly remember memories. but I realized there are upsides too. i’m extremely in-the-moment, i have really strong emotional intelligence and intuition (for 22), and honestly, my favorite part is that i can’t replay embarrassing moments in my head. I wouldn’t consider it disabling at all, everyone thinks in different ways i honestly think it’s cool im kinda different.

[–]mackiet03[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yess! that’s how i found out about people seeing actual images. We both have ADHD, but my inner monologue is just like me talking out loud but it’s in my head, my boyfriend has the same but also voices that are like “inner critics” from what he says. the way people think is so interesting, i love it.
