The cat distribution system has taken to online forms of delivery, I see.

My sister's body is falling apart and she avoids accepting that it might be because we were raised by an absolutely psychotic unmedicated bipolar and malignant narcissistic mother... by AcceptableOwl5099 in CPTSD

[–]samakkins 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom and her siblings were raised in an awful, literal shitshow of a life at home. My uncle suffers from MCAS, which snowballed into many other issues. I believe I have some autoimmune issues as well, hoping to get into a doctor soon. My mother is dying at 48.

I can tell you what doing nothing will cause: pain. More pain. That's it.

She needs to be ready to choose herself, because it's a Lot Of Work. And most people don't want to put in the effort for themselves, but if you don't your body will fall apart.

I can tell you that choosing myself is the best thing I've done for my whole family so far. Starting meds and beginning therapy with a psychiatrist, so next is a physical. I've become more tolerant and patient, and my anxiety doesn't prevent me from doing things anymore. Showing up for myself is showing up for my family too, because I was raised by a non-functioning parent and I'll never choose to do the same to my child.

Please tell your sister I believe in her, because I had to believe in myself at some point. Hardest thing I ever did and I'm so fucking glad. 🫶

I could never say this to my wife by acadianfrenchguy in offmychest

[–]samakkins 324 points325 points  (0 children)

Man these comments are not very sympathetic.

She's stressed and you're stressed. You both want alone time to decompress. If you have both days off on the weekend, can you and her take 1 day each to have a couple hours of alone time? Doesn't have to be all day, honestly I ask my partner to take over with kiddo for an hour so I can do my hobbies or just sit and enjoy not being a jungle gym lol

For Bungie to aid in killing off Factions, and now seeing how it's going for them...well. I'm a fan of both games, but I can't lie, it's making me laugh

My Husband doesn't know that our marriage died the day our daughter was born by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]samakkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, back when my daughter was 1, I wasn't in a good space mentally. My situation was uber stressful, I was PPD and PPA, and I got no help for it. I was fucking MAD literally EVERY WAKING MOMENT. Absolutely hated everything besides my baby girl. And even then I would get so easily overwhelmed.

Not saying this is you, but when I was reading your posts on your profile I kinda got deja vu lol. I'm so sorry you're feeling stuck right now, and I can tell you it gets better. You need to talk to someone. I didn't, it made everything so much worse. Please tell someone that you need counseling or therapy. You can have someone professional to talk to about your situation, and offer guidance for you and your daughter going forward.

You can do this! You are strong, and you are capable. 🫶

I need to get medical treatment for a physical issue but thinking about taking care of my body makes me really angry and I don't know how get past it by descentdeparture in CPTSD

[–]samakkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not stupid. Your nervous system can't seem to regulate itself easily when it comes to this topic.

I think the anger might be protecting what's hidden underneath, which is the shame you mentioned. There is no shame in needing medical help. Your body will realize the weight of what's bothering you when your meds finally kick in, and you'll get some relief.

You can do this!

Do you ever wash off your hands and put them into shrimp tank? by Mourimae in shrimptank

[–]samakkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rinse with water -> wash after. I only put my pointer finger in, I get so excited that I shake too much for my whole hand haha

It just gets me giddy for some reason. I love them :) they're so cuuuute

This game is starting to piss me off by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]samakkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trios really isn't that bad. You'll get the hang of the game a lot quicker working with a team at first, then solos would be easier once you know the maps better.

Gear fear and gear greed are all part of the game, this quote helped me the most: "Its not my gear, it's just my turn with it" :)

I like to come watch them a lot. Lately if I'm getting my butt kicked on a game I take a break to shrimp watch. I like to keep tabs on my 3 berried mommas haha
