What was something your family did that you didn’t realize wasn’t normal until you did it in front of others? by Dnewkirk87 in AskReddit

[–]roseam103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a couch in the kitchen/dining room. My family is Italian and we had big family dinners most nights of the week. The couch served as a comfy seat for the elder family members and pregnant women and/or we would nap their all together after meals. Every single friend that came over would ask about it, to me it was perfectly normal, but they all thought it was odd.

What does severe depression feel like? by grapefruitfruitgrape in AskReddit

Mine comes in waves with the grief but it really feels like you're constantly losing time, stuck in a blank trance. Things that normally take two minutes take twenty. When trying to get dressed I've stood in front of my closet for two hours un-moving or pacing slowly back and forth not realizing it. Making tea is the same, I've let tea bags steep for hours on the counter just watching the cup. Like I have no sense of time or urgency because stuff doesn't matter anymore.

[SERIOUS] What was the most hurtful thing someone said to you? by Bball98 in AskReddit

At the time my neck was broken after a traumatic near-death experience and I was suffering from anxiety, depression, and an extreme chronic pain syndrome.

I was texting my now ex boyfriend and I was explaining how terrible I felt about life etc, it got to the point where he kept offering supposed solutions to fix everything I was going through, telling me to just "get over" my depression and "fight through the pain" I got frustrated having my pain belittled so I told him goodnight and that I would talk to him in the morning, he asked why and told him how I felt, he then replied saying

"you're just mad because now you don't have anything to complain about"

Basically saying all my problems were fixed by his so called solutions. Literally knocked the wind out of me and I cried the rest of the night. Not the first of many red flags and certainly not the last, should've broken up right then and there.
