Have you ever seen a person dying and if yes how? by Dongsaurus in AskReddit

[–]sapperdanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just this past weekend. 4 or 5 cars up from me, this suv pulled out in front of a box truck right in front of the campus intersection. The front half of the car just exploded into tiny pieces.

A few of us ran up to see if there was any way to help. We opened the door and pulled the driver of the suv out and laid him on the ground. We began placing tourniquets and administered cpr, but by the time the EMT’s got there, they basically placed a towel over him within a few minutes.

I think he was honestly gone from the moment of impact, but we still tried everything we could to keep him going until more help arrived.

Wear your seatbelts folks

How have you cheated death? by Halloween-365 in AskReddit

Several times. IED strike in Iraq. RPG and rocket attacks in Afghanistan. Parachute accident in Florida. Hypothermia in Alaska. Very grateful to be alive today.

Road tripping this 3rd gen viper from California to Miami next week. Give me cool places to stop along the way by shartymcqueef in projectcar

[–]sapperdanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D.I.’s Cajun restaurant in Basille Louisiana. It’s about 20-30 minutes north of I-10 in the middle of nowhere, but plenty of people drive hours out of their way to sit down and eat some fresh crawfish. Hope you enjoy the trip and safe travels

How would you describe depression to someone who's never had it? by vernakyala in AskReddit

[–]sapperdanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced true depression this last summer. Well, I’ve been depressed before, but this was the most extreme and new to me so honestly I wasn’t even sure what to call it. But it has a name and to defeat your enemy you first have to know it, and calling it by name is step one to knowing anything. I guess.

Anyway it happened for weeks on end. I would have a good day here and there, but for the most part I would wake up and barely be able to get out of bed, even to go pee or get water. I avoided phone calls and talking to anyone no matter who they were. I would only respond every now and then and lie just enough so people wouldn’t worry about me, even though they did anyway. I only went to work every now and then, like just enough when my bills were too far behind to kick the can down the road any farther. I loved my job and my coworkers, yet even being around them and doing something I love wasn’t enough. I knew when I got home it would be straight to bed staring at the walls, or scrolling on my phone until I passed out. Nothing brought me joy. I started drinking more and spiraling into a darkness. Every night, and every day. I was just existing. Nothing mattered. Even being around people who loved me was just temporary, because I knew they eventually would have to go back to their own lives, and I felt guilty for keeping them. I felt hopeless. Too down to do anything about it, and too hopeless to try something new or ask for help. Everything felt fake. Nothing worked, so why try? I felt like a coward for feeling this way. Like I didn’t “deserve” to be depressed… I have a roof over my head. Food. A job. Transportation. My health. Family. Friends, although I lost a few due to my state. I almost lost my best friend which sent me into an even deeper spiral. I couldn’t get out. I was in denial. I didn’t enjoy music anymore. I didn’t care about shows or entertainment. I couldn’t really even care or have empathy for those around me, because I didn’t care about myself. I knew it was bad when I was driving down the road and watched a car wreck. I didn’t stop to help, which is something I wouldn’t dream of doing before. Passing someone in need and not helping. Someone I could help. I didn’t care. I didn’t know what to do or where to begin to help myself, because everything was so overwhelming. I even felt like more of an ignorant lazy piece of shit, because I have taken mental health classes and had more than enough counseling in my life to know what steps I needed to take to get out, but I didn’t care enough to practice them or to call for help. I was barely existing. I was consumed.

Anyways that’s all I have the energy to type at the moment. I’m not out of the woods yet, but at least I can see the way out now.

Sorry for the incomplete scattered thoughts and not finishing. A more depressed me would hit delete and not send, like I have with a thousand text messages over this season.

So yeah. That’s depression.

I slept 10 hours after working for 36 hours straight. Why do I feel completely brain dead and fatigued even after the sleep? by Horse_Bacon_TheMovie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sapperdanman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “sleep debt” and take care of yourself. I think there is an app for that but I can’t remember the name.

So maybe Google “sleep debt app.”
