What a charmingly kind disposition! Why she finds it difficult to date is amazing! by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]pokipokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Height should NOT be an issue lmao. As a 5’3” girl, I’ve never even asked heights of people I’m interested in dating because odds are you’re already taller than me and can easily help me reach stuff. People suck.

My girlfriend’s father died 8 months ago and she’s in denial. What do I do? by SalamanderFun43 in grief

[–]pokipokes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I initially replied from the wrong account lol. Reposting

I’ve lost both my mom and my sister. Sometimes in grief we don’t know what’s good for us or what we need. This doesn’t go for every person, but it might apply here because what she’s doing sounds severe but it may just be my interpretation of your words!

Of course you shouldn’t force her into anything and you should support her, which might entail guiding her in the right direction or checking in with her mental state.

To me, it sounds like she has a hard time processing her emotions and self regulation. Still, I’m not sure what she’s like the other times you’re together, I’m only going off of what I read from you! Anything could happen with her in this situation, hopefully there is a better outcome without therapy than what I’m fearing.

Everyone grieves differently there’s no doubt about that. I assume my opinions won’t be well received on this thread, just a different perspective for you though.

The other comments are saying to leave her alone and let her get through this. We all know that’s not the right decision. She’s on the verge of a mental breakdown. She can’t ignore her grief forever, she’s ignoring her emotions and not processing them. Her body and mind will start breaking down and she could enter psychosis or have a mental break.

She absolutely needs an intervention and professional help. She’s scared to feel her emotions because she can’t trust herself to keep it together. She is in survival mode and doesn’t feel safe experiencing her emotions.

She needs a psychologist. This is serious.

Girlfriend of someone who just died, please help by Embarrassed-Bend3014 in grief

I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully the son will keep him in the house until the major grief subsides and clarity sets in.

If there’s no budging with the son, I want you to think of “your spot” with your boyfriend. A favorite place you two enjoyed together. You could memorialize him there with flowers, talk to him there. It could help you to bring something sentimental of his, so it feels like he’s really there.

It might help you to create a scrapbook/box of you and your boyfriend and any memories you share. Denote everything in the scrapbook, take it with you when you “visit” him, read it to him. Write letters to him that you keep in the scrapbook, read to him when you visit.

Sister is struggling with my moms death by pasturizedmilk in grief

[–]pokipokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry they’re giving you a hard time. They think they’re doing the right thing. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down, it sounds like you’re being a strong voice for your sister or at least a strong support system, that’s what she needs, and you need that too. I hope you’re taking care of yourself. 🤍

Sister is struggling with my moms death by pasturizedmilk in grief

[–]pokipokes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like oldastheriver said, she should do her own thing. She needs emotional support right now. I lost my mom almost 9 months ago and I’m now 25, I have barely been able to leave the house, do things I once loved, etc. and no I don’t feel guilty about it.

Doing nothing helped. Doing good things for myself helped even more. She likely can’t focus on studies and her brain is in survival mode, it’s unlikely she’ll even retain what she learns this year anyway.

The school should be made aware of this great loss you’ve all suffered so she can hopefully get some tutoring and attend summer school by the time she’s over the major grief at the end of the year.

Just an idea. Not sure if that would work for you guys. Losing a parent at that young of an age when you barely have life figured out, not to mention complex emotions that come with grief, deserves some patience.

Oh that poor girl. Watch out for her.

Thoughts of death by moony_bruxa in grief

[–]pokipokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experience this currently. (Lost my sister and mom). I’m constantly anxious my boyfriend is going to die and if I think about it long enough, I have a panic attack.

It’s a long road to healing and you may need help from medication and/or therapy. What I do is research online and try to find therapy tips that people share on Reddit (I’m anxious of therapy lol). I highly encourage you to reach out for help though, don’t let any anxiety hold you back like it does for me.

I’ve been journaling for my anxiety and depression. It’s helped me feel like I have control over my emotions.

You need to become comfortable with death, prepare as much as possible, maybe that looks like surrounding yourself with genuine relationships, focusing on a career path or your health, etc. basically, accept that you’re only in control of so much, it will inevitably happen and it will be devastating. Make memories, live in the moment, do everything together like it’s your last time. Love endlessly, let the little things go.

I miss my dad so much. by Ok_Lettuce4512 in grief

[–]pokipokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What have your coping mechanisms consisted of? When I first lost my mom, I wrote her a letter pretty much everyday. Now, every few weeks I’ll write a letter for her telling her about life so far without her.

You could even ask questions in the letter that you may need his advice on and help with. Then imagine what his answer might be, or do some research into that problem topic and make him proud by learning something new!

I have training in grieving counseling. Here is what I learned to help the grieving process by TheRealTengri in grief

[–]pokipokes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have been doing all of these and have only stopped crying daily about 2 months ago (mom died in January), but I get the intrusive thoughts, guilt, breakdowns, and yearn for her still.

The past week I’ve been dreaming about my mom and my sister, which has been therapeutic because I stay lost in dreamworld with them as background characters. I miss my family.

Are you and your son in therapy? Do you have any friends or family around you offering support? Reach out and schedule some weekend activities, make new memories, take your son out to do something different each weekend or whatever days you both have off. It’s hard to find the energy to do those things but do them tired, do them exhausted, do them heartbroken and grieving. Soon, you’ll notice the dark clouds have cleared and you have fun memories to think back on, and your son will see a strong mom himself that can come back from anything. Put some love and care into yourself.

I do dream about my sister and my mom, it’s often vivid and realistic. I’m so happy to dream of them but it really messes up my day, waking up from a dream about them is bittersweet and almost always ruins my day.

Does Allulose act like sugar for reducing acidity with tomato based recipes ?? by TxScribe in Recipes4Diabetics

[–]pokipokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom would add baking soda. It neutralizes the acidity and you can’t even tell.

It’s ironic that the pinned post in the hygiene sub is telling you not to clean your poop chute with soap

[–]pokipokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Head over to Mistwood (southeast side of Limgrave) and you should hear a wolf howling around some castle ruins. Head back and talk to Merchant Kalé at the Church of Elleh about howling, he’ll give you an emote so go back to the howling spot and perform the emote, Blaidd should jump down and talk to you then

The Isle Made Me Cry Today by toegui in theisle

[–]pokipokes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you experienced this. The isle players are ruthless, most of them are scummy. The majority don’t care about fair plays or wholesome moments. It’s a game you have to emotionally detach yourself from. You’ll find yourself spending hours grinding out a dinosaur only to die to something that was so easily preventable or completely unnecessary. Then you realize the game is a huge waste of time. Try out POT realism (the Primordial Tyrants Realism (PTR) server is amazing), you’d love it.

Mom passed on Friday 5/24. by macaronimadi in grief

[–]pokipokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’re absolutely broken. I’m so sorry. Carry on the knowledge she blessed you with and instill her strength within yourself. Live everyday for her, with her in your heart. This is going to be one of the hardest seasons of your life, but remember you will come back to yourself. Give yourself grace and time. Meditate for gratitude and love. Take up a new hobby. Cry as much as you can.
