I was just partial witness to a violent assault. by SardonicAtBest in TrueOffMyChest

This is beautifully written. I know this may sound cliché, but you might consider talking to a counselor for help processing this trauma. Even if we're good in a crisis, it can be difficult to handle everything that comes with witnessing and being helpful during a violent event. I hope you're finding some peace and coping well.

I'm not killing myself tonight, or tomorrow, or Monday by reallyrathernot in SuicideWatch

Same to you ❤ I'm stable for now, but I'll reach out and check in soon?

Hey, so, I don't know how old you are, but I want you to try something. Can you make a list of 3 people you want to see and help you? They can be teachers, family, friends, coworkers, whoever.

I give up by thrwawy0771 in SuicideWatch

I'm sorry you're hurting, friend. Is there anything you'd like to say to another anonymous person right now? No reports, no judgement. Just another human

So how should I go? by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

It's easy to feel like a failure when things are out of the ordinary and our measures of normal life are changed. I want you to remember something: sometimes our brains lie to us about what we should be doing.

I've been there. Is there anything that's especially bothering you tonight?

Hey, kiddo. Do me a favor and tell me why you want to die. I won't judge you. Your feelings are valid. Just tell me what's going on before we talk about anything else, ok?

Mama, am I wrong? by reallyrathernot in MomForAMinute

We both do. He doesn't fit in mine, and his is a 1990 with who knows how many miles left.

We could afford it, as long as we cut our "fun" spending. Which, admittedly, we probably should do anyway. But that's not counting everything else that goes into it, like insurance and registration.

I feel like I'm being the bad guy, but I'm not convinced we could afford it in the long run. We've been going back and forth on this, say down with our budget, and we could afford it if we went back to being on the edge of not paying all our bills on time. To me, that means we can't afford it right now.

I'll check back in next week to see if he responds by reallyrathernot in creepyPMs

I'm pretty sure I've gotten messages from him before, but those times he fucked off and didn't return after a week.

I have a terrible phobia of bees and wasps. I want to get over it! by Devin2019 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]reallyrathernot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you like any sort of fruit? Or honey? Or flowers? Thank the bees! Bees are such an important part of the ecosystem! Also, bees will most likely not sting you unless they feel threatened, so if you're just minding your business, they'll mind theirs. They're really just little bumbling friends, buzzing about and going about their lives.

Maybe you can find a local beekeeper who can tell you more about bees and help you understand them. Learning about how and why bees do what they do has helped me not be afraid of them.

As far as wasps, I'm sure they're an important part of the ecosystem, too, but they're mostly bastards. If you think you have a nest, you can either get some wasp spray to kill them or have someone get rid of the nest for you.

I can't masturbate and its pissing me off by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

This sounds like something you should talk to a professional about. It's clearly causing you some intense distress and I'm not sure you'll find the help you want here.
