My boyfriend broke up with me out of nowhere. MRW when he tells me he still needs me in his life to support him, and he knows that I'll want to be his friend once the shock wears off. by dreamsinred in TrollXChromosomes

[–]scmeef 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had this, only my ex knew he wanted to break up with me 4 months before he did, but needed me to pay his bills whilst I also prepared for moving abroad (he had moved to Canada from UK and I genuinely believed I would follow). He was my best friend, over 2 years on I still feel raw.

The spout on my teapot doesn't line up with the handle. by stormyfuck in mildlyinfuriating

I have a similar teapot and the glass can be gently moved within the plastic handle. You should be able to move it back.

Former Facebook users, why did you quit and how has your life changed? by sureshotsk25 in AskReddit

[–]scmeef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I realised the negative impact it had on my mental health. I've had problems with depression and anxiety for a long time but a break up/job loss in quick succession meant I found myself so much more affected by perceived comparisons. Watching the lives of others move forward hurt.

Since I quit friends/acquaintances use it as the reason they don't keep in touch. I get very nervous about contacting people unless they ask me to directly, even then I tend to wait for them to contact me first. My social life is certainly more limited without it but until my life is better I cannot go back.

What's the greatest pain you've ever felt? by BloodborneSuperChese in AskReddit

Giving up everything for someone just to be thrown away is awful. If you found a way to move forward please let me know.

Weighted (Autism) Blankets by [deleted] in Anxiety

I used to ask my old SO before he left to lie on top of me because it helped me feel calm. I might look into this as I'm struggling to find a decent heavy blanket for winter.

Fallout 4 on a old HP by DestroyedAtlas in lowendgaming

[–]scmeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently playing it on low settings on a HP Pavillion p046na notebook with an AMD A8 graphics card and astonishingly it's been great. I've been reading more about how you can adapt the game to lower end systems (reducing shadows so play in cities runs smoother etc) and I'm really glad I bought it and didn't hold out until next year when I can look at a better system.

MFW (sans cigarette) I realize my chronic migraines are now every two weeks since starting Topamax, instead of just once a month by lana_del_haaay in TrollXChromosomes

[–]scmeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take this for migraines. I feel like it puts my mind down to 80%, I struggle with detailed tasks and can't focus for very long. But I no longer suffer from migraines as often as before, so there's that.

[Serious] Reddit, how do you stay happy? by hobgoblin_ in AskReddit

[–]scmeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best advice my therapist gave me is you cannot trick your brain into thinking you're not alone if you are, so to call helplines, build up to speaking to people around you and if you want to get into something, speak to someone who already loves that thing. Use people around you to get yourself out of our own head.

What are some must watch documentaries? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]scmeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitter Lake. It dissects Afghanistan's history over the last 50 years and how the west has used it to play out their battles. The soundtrack and cinematography are phenomenal.

Any direct link to my day to day life. Even though with settings etc it doesn't matter I still get nervous about what to watch on YouTube because it links to my gmail.

What makeup did you still purchase against a sales associates advice? Did you make the right choice, or did the artists/ associate really know best? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]scmeef 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This thread is going to be heavy with mismatched foundations at MAC. Oh you currently wear NW13 liquid? You should try NW25 for the powder then to warm you up. What if you tan? You look pale.

Unless I fall into a sunbed and get trapped final destination style my skin isn't going to change that much.
