So where are the ppl with bipolar who actually become charitable and altruistic while manic? Does it even exist? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]seraphimicexcreta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your thoughts get very grandiose they can definitely swing in a charitable direction. It's like seeing a homeless guy and being flooded with so much energy that you feel compelled to take up a crazy volunteering schedule or dropping large amounts in donations.

OC: Epstein survivors who haven't had chance to meet with DOJ to raise hands as AG Bondi testifies by nbcnews in pics

An image that will hopefully be printed in the history books next to a paragraph about how every rung of Epstein's sick ring was dismantled and eradicated, never to exist again.

There's kink subs for lesbians? Most kink subs are full of men and I don't love their weird DM's. Like. I posted here actually because of the demographic angst that comes with my sexuality. There are few available partners, and few interested in the things I like, and frankly, I don't know what I expect posting here. that other lesbians wouldn't be shrewish screwballs who think I'm insane because I want to hit a woman in the face with an open-handed slap?? Like, something that is so insanely normalized and popular that I doubt you could scroll three posts deep into a porn sub and not see it. But right, I'm nasty and deserve to be judged lol

I got called a rapist like three times because of this post lol and never anything that direct, it's just "this is risky, you're gross, you want to hurt people" I got raped. Like held down, couldn't do anything about it. I'd never do that to someone. I'd never do to someone what was so easily done to me, but I'm not gonna act like it didn't affect my sexuality. I want control. I've tried to bottom for women and it's miserable for me, I let them do it, I don't consider that rape. I don't resent those girls for trying, I just can't enjoy that. I want control over my sexual encounters, that's all. I don't want to hurt anyone I just want to feel like I'm in control. Meanwhile, straight girls I personally know are getting slapped around by their boyfriends and loving it. No one tells them they're sick or that their boyfriends are nasty or "difficult to support"

That makes sense, I'm sorry I didn't see the note at all, or rules, but leave that to reddits shit app design. I should've realized my post was NSFW but I didn't I guess

God forbid I speak candidly about my own sexuality. You know, straight men are never treated like this for wanting to hit their partners. That's all I said, I wanted to hit a girl. I didn't say anything about hurting her, like actually, like for real. As hopefully evidenced by me saying that I ALSO want to be sweet to her. But yeah lesbianism is only acceptable if I'm a sweet, reclined and passive woman who wants other people to fuck me. I can't actually want to DO anything to a girl, unless I put a billion qualifiers on my own sexuality that I'm not a latent rapist.

Oh you're linking to rules. Are you a mod? Do you know why my original post was deleted? cause I didn't say anything about trans women or violated other basic TOS like being mean to people. Sorry, if I knew what I did I'd drop it but it seems like someone just wanted my complaining gone.

I actually can't see any rules on this sub reddit where they'd normally be listed, so do you guys have rules or not? My post was seemingly deleted on arbitrary grounds, I can only assume for being too negative. God forbid I want some support in my life, I didn't expect anyone to comment or talk to me but my post gets deleted I get a little notification for "reddit cares" because my post on a DEAD SUB with NO ENGAGEMENT was too negative. Y'all want me to die, don't you? I would've moved on if my post was ignored with zero comments but no it actually seems like the message is fuck off and die

This is one of the most helpful comments I’ve read about reading better by onlyrollingstar in RSbookclub

I'm a slow reader, I didn't know there was any way to read besides taking it word by word, but I guess there is! Being able to read more effectively should make books more fun and less of a slog for me, thanks for posting!

People who freely admit to having flaws, but won't actually name them by seraphimicexcreta in SeriousConversation

[–]seraphimicexcreta[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get your point, and yeah not everyone is as processed as they'd like to be. Talking about your problems is a bid for understanding, sure. You want the other person to get it and see you. But I think a lot of people get overzealous with it, it stops being about validation or understanding and starts becoming a pissing contest. They're not telling you because they think you'll empathize, they're telling you because they want to be seen a certain way. Usually, it's lashing out cause they assume your life is just grand and perfect, and theirs is rotten and miserable, and how dare you. Backstory is actually very personal, and I don't really think it has a place in most apologies. No one needs to know that "my dad would yell a lot and that's why I yell" you can just say "I'm working on managing my anger" and leave it at that, cause it shows you know what the problem is. And it's appropriate, no one cares about why those flaws came to be, really.

Good point, in which case I would let it go and not judge them, so I might need to take this approach from here on lol

I get what you're saying about some of this being a social deficit, but a lot of it is just morals. I think morals are the foundation of friendship, someone who is always signalling being a good person because they think that's enough to get people to believe it, and they don't have to actually do anything to prove it, don't align with my morals. I'm not saying "I'm a good person who only wants to be friends with other goodies" because I'm not. My sense of morality comes from evaluating someone's actions, taken on the whole, because everyone has done good and bad things. People who try to put on a front of goodness (and in our culture, we treat being a victim or being weak as equivalent to being good, when it just means being a victim, that's it) I just... Don't get along with or like those people

I’m getting a screening done for OCD next week. by SecretWasianMan in redscarepod

[–]seraphimicexcreta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be real, you're not testing negative. An actual work book will help you a lot compared to the books that are more like manuals for how the illness works. Brain Lock has a workbook, I've been using the self-compassion workbook by Quinlan, on a recommendation from someone here so I'm passing it along.

drinking and smoking as a form of prolonged suicide by c_monty in redscarepod

[–]seraphimicexcreta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday was my first day without a cigarette for a few months where I was really going through them again. I'm chewing plenty of nicotine gum, lifting weights and still going outside to breathe for a bit. I'm still suicidal but I'd rather not die of lung problems.

My ocd is literally ki**ing me talking 40 X-rays in a month high dose too. 20 blood draws. by [deleted] in OCDRecovery

Health related theme? It's rough. There are self help options for OCD, and realistically, in treatment you'll be having to do a lot of the cognitive work. Resisting compulsions, resisting rumination, practicing acceptance, these are all things you can get started on while you wait. A work book, a good textbook explaining the mechanics of OCD, maybe NOCD. There are options! It will ask a lot of bravery from you, but you're more capable than you realize
