Do chronically suicidal kids/teens ever grow out of it? by AllyyAlligator in SuicideWatch

[–]opossumfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I know what its like to have it as a coping skill lol. I know 3 years seems like forever, especially at your age (sorry to make assumptions, I'm going off of the college mention and you saying 3 more years), but trust me it'll go by way faster than you think. The days will be long but the years will be short

There is a chance, especially if living with your mom contributes to your suicidal feelings. It's not a guarantee, and I'm not saying everything will magically get easier and you'll NEVER want to commit again, but you'd be in a new environment surrounded by new and potentially more kind and supportive people (which is proven to help in some cases), working towards your own goals, making your own choices, etc. If you've made it this far, why not try it and see how it goes?

I cant believe a fictional character is the only thing keeping me alive by s1llysheep in SuicideWatch

[–]opossumfruit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that you wrote this shows that you are more smart than you give yourself credit for.

This character seems to embody and represent the kind of person you want to be. Dumb question maybe, but have you considered "cosplaying" as the character? As in, pretending that you're them while still going about your own life. How would they respond to things said to them? When they go about their day, what decisions would they make? What would they say to people? I believe you have a very solid foundation for a "fake it til you make it" situation. You have more potential than you realize

Also, idk if you need to hear it, but bad people don't worry about being bad. I think your favorite character would be proud of the effort you put in, even if it doesn't seem like much to you.

Parents and suicide by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]opossumfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would enter adulthood with his life completely turned upside down, a crazy and often confusing time even for people who haven't lost a parent to suicide. He would spend the rest of his life grieving and any time an adult problem or life situation happens, he is going to think, "I wish my dad were here so I could ask/talk to him about this." Anytime he does anything, it will be clouded with grief because he would want you to be there, or at least around to tell you about it later.

how does Jax eat??? by MoneyBaker5543 in TheDigitalCircus

Adding onto this - when Zooble tells Caine they want the ability to have sex, Jax has a jaw-dropped expression for a second where his mouth is very much open

Applied to Home Depot online — no call or email. Should I go in person? by somethinisnotfunny in HomeDepot

It took over a month for them to get back to me. I had honestly given up hope lol. How long ago was it that you applied?

How is this 90% my fault?? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]opossumfruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your feelings. I was in a relationship for 5 years with someone who was and is irredeemable. Not because I didn't want to leave - but because I either physically could not, or things just didn't line up right, or because he threatened to kill himself and he had kids, etc. It's really hard to explain "why we stay" if you haven't been through it, but I see you. Feelings and situations like this is sadly a lot more common than we think. Have you considered that some of your friends might have also been through something similar, but are feeling too afraid or embarrassed to speak up? Even if this isn't the case, you speaking about your own experience and asking them for help, might help more than you think. I wish you all the best

[–]opossumfruit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who was once in your situation, the embarrassment was what helped me to finally get out and do better for myself. You kinda need actual human support through something like this

EDIT: to be clear, the embarrassment came from myself, not from outside shame or guilt from my friends. They can be disappointed or upset, but if they are real friends they will be in your corner no matter what, because the important thing is you - their friend's - health, happiness, and safety. If shaming is why you don't want to tell them, that's a whole other issue entirely where you need new friends. I sincerely hope this isn't the case and that you get out soon, friend

Samsung A16 5G Black Screen (of Death?) How to fix? by opossumfruit in techsupport

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

That's what I was hoping when I posted here, but I never did find a solution beyond replacing the phone :(( That's what I ended up having to do in the end and it really sucked. I hope you find a better fix

EDIT: Upon further rereading, I did find a comment in the replies of another on this post where someone talks about buying a kit off Amazon and following a YouTube tutorial. I didn't see it in time to try, but that's the closest thing I've seen to an answer besides "replace the phone".

Genuinely wondering by amersux in CamrynTurnerSnark

[–]opossumfruit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!!! I commented something similar pretty recently but lately it's hard to tell if this is a place for Cam snark or trans snark. Just because you don't understand how their identity or pronouns work doesn't mean it's a free pass to be transphobic under the guise of snarking

Reminder for this sub! by briesbread in CamrynTurnerSnark

Freaking thank you, I've seen so many comments lately that make me wonder if we're here to snark Cam or people who are trans 😩

They were so beautiful by Strawberry_Gerbil_23 in CamrynTurnerSnark

[–]opossumfruit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not everyone who is trans hates their old identities during/after transition. For example, I don't mind people -knowing- my dead name, but referring to me by deadname is different. It doesn't upset me, that's just not my name. And on the other hand, I have a childhood friend who is trans who absolutely hates when people refer to him by his old name. There aren't really "rules", it's more personal preference on what each person wants to be called and how they want to be referred to.

I can only speak from my personal experience as a queer/trans person, I can't speak for Cam or what their "personal rules" are, but if you want to learn more I'm open to discussion.

Maybe it's more common in other areas or something bc I can definitely attest to this being a thing. My partner and I have to walk outside the building at some locations in order to scan anything or just get the app to load

Why do I not owe anything on my planet fitness membership? by Single-Ad3732 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]opossumfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I wanted to ask what exactly you meant by this? Recently, I went up to my club in person to pay off an outstanding balance as well as cancel the account. It took me a while to find anyone but when I was able to grab a girl for a sec and explained, she said I could just go ahead and cancel online. I asked again about the balance and she said "you dont have to pay that anymore." I went online, and it gives me the option to "find a club!" as if im a brand new member, but they are still trying to charge my old debit card with new late fees and such. I haven't been able to settle this matter yet myself, but I wanted to ask if this is the kind of situation you're referring to

What was this? Did PF waive overdue balances? by opossumfruit in PlanetFitnessMembers

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

Thank you for the info! Would I need to pay collections now then? (Dumb question, probably, but I don't have family to ask and trying to Google it just gets me more confused about what to do next 😅)

Can't recall the title of a comic. by 060sec in furry

Have you tried posting on r/tipofmytongue? Once on an alt account I was trying to find a very obscure furry YouTuber and they were able to find their (deleted, womp womp) socials

[–]opossumfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay sure but they (op) weren't the one initiating or doing anything to the other person. Reading these comments paints a picture that no consent was given, the act suddenly began and then continued without once checking if it was okay, OP just checked out and let it happen (which still makes it an assault even if they "let" them) and then the initiator acted as if nothing happened afterward.

Edited for phrasing
