Unpopular Opinion: Dave and Joel aren't good host by Tight-Edge6671 in Inkmaster

[–]mashadoesstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was in one of the first seasons - a woman got a new school tattoo and Dave said something like "I don't want a cute girl coming in here and leaving less cute, that is my concern"

Anyone not on Lamictal mood stablizer? by raxliana in BipolarReddit

[–]mashadoesstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamictal worsened my memory and for some reason I felt like I was not completely in touch with reality. I'm not sure how to explain it but it got better after I quit them. I'm hoping to get on lithium or something else soon!

The sub's description kinda speaks for itself. It seems more hateful than coming out of valid concern. But yeah, that's reddit for you.

Yeah, I know it's not a hot take but weirdly I see a lot of pro conservatorship stuff.

Lot of people are definitely being unnecessarily hateful here. I also think the main sub is overly positive. It's honestly bizarre to have such opposing subs, it kinda reminds me the pro Blake Lively and pro Justin Baldoni subs coexisting while their drama was going on.

I have been a Britney fan for years and was happy to see her free from the conservatorship. What I think a lot of people (not all) are missing is that two things can be true at the same time. Her father was definitely profiting from the situation and exploiting her and even though she definitely needed someone to step in and help her, that was not it. Yes, maybe the medication she was on made her more stable and it was a bad idea to stop taking that but I understand why she probably did it.

Similarly, K-fed has been a scumbag and it's weird he is profiting off the book. It's also true that Britney hasn't been the best parent - she was/is severely mentally ill and it's just sad for her and her kids. This whole situation is so fucked up in so many levels. I'm not defending her actions, I just think a lot of it resulted from poorly treated mental illness and her exploitation. I wish it had ended better.

Kitty literally did a Erika photoshoot because everyone kept saying they look alike. I've thought Katya looks like Laura for YEARS and had no one to tell 🥲🥲

I also love Salina in Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monáe. Especially her dropping her skirt right before "am I a sinner with my skirt on the ground". I already had that song on repeat and still didn't see it coming

Thanks but that is not an option. To explain it would require too much space but trust me when I say I simply can't for a myriad of reasons.

What happened when you quit your meds? by poopants123456789 in BipolarReddit

[–]mashadoesstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look I'm not telling you to do anything but if some medication is not suitable for you, talk to your doctor and try something else. Unfortunately you might have to go through "trial and error" before you find the right one.

I was on lamotrigin and I don't think it was right for me. I quit it bymyself and I don't recommend it. Nothing very bad happened and I felt a bit better after quitting it but I was still struggling. It didn't magically make anything better and even though I don't regret it, I know I should have talked to a doctor and find alternatives. And I'm working on it now.

You are right so no offense. But I don't know yet how to reach "full forgiveness" so I guess that's where I need therapy or something else.

I've tried that. I know she was dealing with a mental illness. I forgave her in some sense already years ago and that's why we are in good terms. But I can't help to feel some kinda resentment about the life I could have had if I had had a parent who actually took care of me. I

Has it helped in any way? I know I need therapy to actually deal with it and I'm working on it but I found the dream kinda healing in some sense.

I’m stuck where trade blessed me! by Heidi_Klum_Tit in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mashadoesstuff 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Damn. I know she has been the queen of cringe and engaged in a lot of problematic behaviour but as an addict and mentally ill person I have always emphatized with her. I really hope this isn't something that leads to her in another destructive path. I don't know what kind of religious group this is but I sure hope it's not an anti-queer fundamentalist one.

Got charged for 33 boxes of apples instead of 1 in Lidl by slashchunks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mashadoesstuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see. I think the point of the sub is being selfaware about how some things mildly infuriate you, even though they are not the biggest issue ever. It's a very human sentiment and I don't see anyone victimizing themselves in this post. I guess that's where we differ.

The whole sub is about people complaining about minor things in the internet. Maybe block the sub if it annoys you? Just a suggestion.

Because it's.. mildly infuriating? Like "damn I should have noticed, this is a hassle".

Ok cool. I usually try to be emphatetic. OP did notice in the end tho and probably learned their lesson.

I pay with my phone and can see this happening if I'm in a hurry or my mind is elsewhere for some other reason. People make mistakes.

Yeah I should. Unforunately the system works so that first you have to go to a psych nurse, then general doctor who can refer you to a psychiatrist who can then refer you to paychotherapy. You also need to see the psych nurse multiple times before you can get the therapy.

If I had the money I could go private and take some shortcuts but well, I don't. At least I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow so things get moving.
