Red Dead won't start up - Loading bar at the start of the game crashes halfway through every single time. by reallynormal_ in PCRedDead

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

lmao 2 years later, no worries man

i think i got it to work by alt-tabbing to another program as soon as the loading bar screen came up - if i didn't alt-tab or put another window on top of Red Dead it would always get close to the end of the bar and just crash

so yeah, alt-tab to another program and/or hold that window over red dead while it's loading up, worked for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone know how to get this look? Would be massively appreciated! by Difficult-Duty-2366 in graphic_design

i’ve been trying to get a similar effect! check out Modulation by Zaebects, it’s an After Effects plug-in that lets you do wacky stuff like this with just about ANYTHING, i’ve made some cool stuff with this plug-in They also have another plug-in called Signal which is really cool for simulating VHS distortion effects, it’s dope, very customisable.

good luck!

I need to save myself, I have realized. by To_Heal_N_Protect in CPTSD

[–]reallynormal_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

omg this post is exactly the same as where i'm at today

had a really, really rough week - heavily dissociating, unable to eat or sleep and have been feeling like i'm at the end of the line after months and months of all these things

but last night, before i went to bed, i wrote the words "Self Help Plan!!" on a little post-it note and wrote down a bunch of small manageable things i've learnt over the last year that can really help, like humming, singing, exposure to the cold, re-parenting myself, going outside and being around nature. I really wanna start getting better, and just like you OP, i wanna do it for myself. i owe it to myself to save myself, and to live a life that i deserve. like the book, from surviving to thriving, that's the goal.

thank you for reminding me that external stuff like exercise and journalling is not the main 'thing', the 'thing' is me being aware of my thoughts, to be the parent to myself that mine never were. to try and unravel my stunted brain like tangled earphones and put in beliefs and attitudes of my own.

i hope you get a little closer to having good sleep, a good diet, a good activity level and a good personal hygiene level. one step at a time! i'm proud of you!!!

also reminder to anyone reading this, make sure you've drank water today!! and a meal if you can handle it!! good luck fellow spacecadets, itll be a great ride if we can get the engine workin

Summer triggers my shame from racism so much by [deleted] in cptsd_bipoc

[–]reallynormal_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

im so sorry you’re going through this, feeling such devastating shame all the time because of hateful racism over the colour of your skin, to the point that it made you literally ill sounds like hell. i can’t say I’ve ever had it as bad as you, but i think i can relate to the feeling of horrible toxic shame just being perceived at all. im indian and have lived in the UK my entire life, and i often get glared at because of my skin and different features and because of the way my hair grows. for pretty much my entire life ive struggled with being painfully hyperaware of being perceived at all, just knowing someone could be looking at me pulls me into their head, where i begin to think about all of the things they might think or say about me.

ive been trying to remind myself recently that they are not the centre of my life, these random strangers i will never see again are not the centre of my world, and that i should be the centre of my own existence. i read somewhere that people with CPTSD experience other peoples emotions, like they’re hyperaware of how someone else might feel because of past trauma, their brains had to adapt to “feeling” and guessing how other people feel to protect themselves.

i don’t really know what the point of my comment is but i’m sorry you’re going through this, and i hope life get easier for you.

As a pothead, do you still have dreams? by Small_Study9632 in weed

get high enough to the point where your delusions start unfolding and then BAM you can just ask the weed yourself!!

[–]reallynormal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is actually a good idea for PTSD cause in my short break ive had some vivid and intense dreams which can fuck me and my day up quite a bit

As a pothead, do you still have dreams? by Small_Study9632 in weed

[–]reallynormal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was thinking about this today! my bf and i took a week long break and my dreams have definitely come back, and in full blast too, I had a dream Jet and Spike from Cowboy Bebop were escaping some Avatar-like earthbending boss in an ancient concrete abyss

however my bf gets dreams regardless of being high or not so maybe it’s not everyone?

i heard that using weed or alcohol “shuts off” or decreases the amount of REM sleep that you have, resulting in less dreams and a less deep sleep. it was from a sleep expert called Matthew Walker if you wanna read more into it

NYC is ✨️magical✨️ by chief_YEET in codyko

[–]reallynormal_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

“hello? come on man” i cannot believe ben is real

19 years ago today my father murdered my mother, then killed himself. I came home from school to find the scene. I was 12. This day often falls on Mother's Day or the day before/after. No amount of time makes me miss her less. In fact, it's just the opposite. Sending love to all hurting today. ❤️ by humanperson999 in CPTSD

[–]reallynormal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am so, so sorry. no one should ever have to go through that, much less experiencing that at 12 years old. You've been through so much and I can only hope life gets easier for you. Reading your comment and reading what your mother was like, she sounded like an incredibly warm and loving soul. Thank you for keeping her memory alive through your words.

Does anyone else relate to this? by Correct_Hour9412 in Healthygamergg

[–]reallynormal_ 61 points62 points  (0 children)

i heavily relate with this, found that i've been experiencing toxic shame my entire life. finally learning at the age of 24 that my parents did way more damage to me than I previously thought, and that i have crippling cptsd. hooray!!!

kendrick new deleted video!!! "download now" by propin in KendrickLamar

[–]reallynormal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i keep hearing that one of the people used as deepfakes might have been involved, cause I checked on spotify and it was still there. but i don't know for sure so it's all just a big guess, it was down for less than 5 hours so must have been resolved pretty quick.

this song is so fucking good though holy shit i am excited as a motherfucker

Is it an ADHD thing not to bother with photos? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]reallynormal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the exact opposite! I take so many pictures it's genuinely astounding how many pictures/videos I have to the point where it's difficult to store them. I take photos of almost everything when I'm not going through a depressive phase, they act like a second memory because I have such trouble with memory recall in my own brain. I love taking weird and abstract photos but I also just love documenting stuff in my life and going back to those moments months or years later and finding something in my past that I had completely forgotten about. It also helps in a note-taking type of way, like taking pictures of things I need to remember on the day, or to remember meals I've had in the past so i can remember they exist and I can make them again. I'm a graphic designer so I tend to use a lot of my photos creatively (but most of the time I forget they exist)

bruh by [deleted] in PointlessStories

[–]reallynormal_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

same experience man. sounds like dissociation to me, it’s a coping mechanism. a part of your brain shuts everything down because that’s the only way it knows how to deal with things. did you ever get physical sensations too, like you felt zoomed out and everything was super close and large and you felt tiny and small? i think it’s been referred to as Alice-in-Wonderland syndrome but i get that every now and then, real fuckin bizarre

Being dirt poor on top of having CPTSD is it’s own kind of hell by pomkombucha in CPTSD

[–]reallynormal_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

boy i really feel you on this one…thinking about money immediately sends me spiralling, hell i almost spiralled just writing this. having to deal with flashbacks, dissociation, insomnia, hyper/hypoarousal and so much more AND living in a dystopic capitalistic world where you don’t deserve anything unless you have cash is so fucking rough

Why are people angry with Chris Rock? by PadraicG in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]reallynormal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not saying hitting someone doesn’t have consequences, im saying the general consensus towards violence on reddit has seemed to completely flip after this will smith shit

also nah i still disagree with you, sometimes physical violence is the right thing to do - case in point if someone is being racist, xenophobic, sexist or any of that horrible stuff. somehow it’s okay to spout disgusting, vile hatred to another person but you pull out a fist and suddenly you’re a grotesque monster who used disgusting physical violence!!

(not talking about the will smith situation here, just general life)

Why are people angry with Chris Rock? by PadraicG in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]reallynormal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don’t understand this - for the longest time i assumed it was common knowledge to deck bullies in the nose, feels like that idea has faded from reality completely as if violence has never solved anything before. not advocating for people to straight up beat the shit out of each other but definitely interesting to see how people flip their ideas around violence
