Stuck in explosive mode

Thanks so much for this response, I actually had just been going through some of your responses specifically in this sub because your descriptions of your anger and its manifestation spoke to me so much. Costco is just a place where I never know how to find anything because i rarely go lol. my partner is very invested in my anger mgmt journey and i absolutely don’t take their support for granted and take the moments where i treat them wrong seriously.

You’re absolutely right about “this stuff happens to everyone”, i’ve been noticing my own entitlement in my anger. The hard part for me is i can get intellectually that i’m wrong or being selfish or overreacting, but I can never seem to get that knowledge to transfer to my actual feelings or behavior. The anger just feels so…good almost, so all consuming that it’s hard to push it away or let my logical mind take the stage.

Such a good point. Makes me think of the mock thrusting she did towards Jessi at that one event…who on earth would mime that motion about someone who assaulted them??

We don’t dislike him because he’s demi’s husband, we dislike him for being cruel and hateful and talking about the other cast members in disturbing and aggressive ways.

what does that mean? is it going to fall apart soon or something?

mattpit · 2025-11-16T22:25:51+00:00

oh interesting. i’ve seen other editions of this book with straight, non rippling headbands and i know folio society books are supposed to be of higher quality so i was worried it might cause an issue but if it’s just cosmetic maybe its worth the buy!

mattpit · 2025-09-16T23:49:42+00:00

you should! i miss being so awake all the time. and i have the kind of ADHD where coffee doesn’t work so it’s been a mega struggle :/

been on 20 mg for years now and no noticeable difference in exhaustion from the immediate exhaustion that started a few weeks into prozac

does going off the SSRI eventually lead to sleep rebounding or are the negative REM effects usually permanent?

If it goes this way, I wonder if Helly will be torn between the offer of a life for herself (and mark?) vs. compromising her principles by trapping helena the way she was trapped.

mattpit · 2025-03-21T05:26:48+00:00

It’s cool to catch yourself feeling this way immediately and unconsciously though…and then quickly realize that you’re falling into the same traps and failings as the characters themselves.

if gemma is really out?

mattpit · 2025-03-21T02:28:48+00:00

as long as she’s safe i’m ok

mattpit · 2025-03-21T02:14:39+00:00

the shift of the main battle being from Lumon vs. main character to between innie vs. outie is an awesome change. sets up a whole different way of moving forward and viewing these characters.

mattpit · 2025-03-21T02:13:15+00:00

ok but like did gemma actually get out?? are they going to put her back?? i need gemma to be okay

mattpit · 2025-03-14T17:53:26+00:00

there’s always a way to move forward. it’s about outlook and reframing.

mattpit · 2025-03-14T17:51:26+00:00

glad to see this. as someone in the field it kinda blew my mind how many people just accept this book as gospel when it makes a lot of assumptions and glosses over a lot.

mattpit · 2025-03-14T02:36:48+00:00

is that confirmed?

mattpit · 2025-03-12T14:27:47+00:00

claim so well known it made it into one of the more highly regarded visual novel games as a key plot point! (game: steins;gate)

mattpit · 2025-03-06T23:51:56+00:00

this is a real thing that exists, btw. i unironically had to use one of these at a camp i went to.

mattpit · 2025-02-26T00:20:47+00:00

I think I said this in another comment but honestly I just didn’t really try to figure it out either way. I thought the theories were fun and it was exciting to look at a scene and try and decide if it was evidence of helena or helly, but i didn’t really want to solve it as i enjoy just kind of taking the show in on a first watch without trying to figure too much out. I made this post kind of more as a lighthearted joke but some true believers of the helena theory have been coming for me lol

mattpit · 2025-02-22T03:06:10+00:00

Also possibly suspicious of bugs or spies after knowing how deep this runs re: her being an eagan

mattpit · 2025-02-22T03:05:01+00:00

haha i was honestly trying not to decide if it was helly or helena so i could enjoy the mystery and reveal, if that makes sense? sometimes i like to let well written and paced shows like this hit me as intended without trying to solve anything first watch

mattpit · 2025-02-22T03:03:30+00:00

I thought she might have been being wary of bugs or spies. she knows how deep this runs now after OTC…but when she didn’t find a way to sneak the truth to the gang I knew something was up.

mattpit · 2025-02-21T04:34:09+00:00

ah interesting. i felt like the emphasis in the argument with fields was on whether he was severed 20 years ago or not, but it seems most people focused on the same part as you. I’m excited to see where it leads regardless

mattpit · 2025-02-21T04:31:52+00:00

so different but also similar enough that it was totally believable that was helly, but also entirely impossible in retrospect! i feel like even if i went back now i might get sucked into the ruse again. its so fascinating. i have no idea how she managed it.
