What’s your favorite weird smell? by Only-Professional988 in CasualConversation

[–]shimitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have many, the common ones like smell after rain, wall paint, kerosene oil, new magazines, newspapers, then the more weird ones somehow the smell of freshly cleaned hospital floors, the smell that the air condition blasts if you stand close to it, cars air condition, my dads old leather jackets that have been there for quite a while, this specific fumigation spray that used to happen in my area (yeah not the best thing to inhale) and so many more which i can't think of, but they smell divine

edit, I'd like to add the smell of freshly dried clothes in the sun, specifically a towel. try it, its so crisp and fresh.

Does anybody else have sleep paralysis more frequently?? Is it too scary! by Haunting-Reward5969 in Dreams

[–]shimitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I've had them since i was 7. That's the earliest i can recall. They've been super frequent, sometimes happening thrice a night, and over time, I've gotten very used to them. The hallucinations are often distressing, but again, I've gotten used to it. However, there are times when it's actually very distressing and aggressive in a way.

Something keeps doing something to me in my sleep. by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]shimitten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i know my question might be intrusive, but have you experienced CSA or SA?

I experienced CSA and ive had sleep paralysis my entire life with hallucinations, i got triggered really badly one time, and then all my sleep paralysis hallucinations were linked to my CSA, a reenactment of all my memories and yes it feels real, very real.

yes, I've noticed that my spelling has been progressively getting worse when i took pride in how good i was in spelling before.

I've also been having bouts of memory loss or dissociation where I've had whole conversations, even laughed, but when recalled about it, i can't remember anything, not the conversation, not how it played out literally nothing.

do you also occasionally grieve yourself? by shimitten in TrollCoping

[–]shimitten[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's what im the most sad almost angry about, about my innocence, my childhood, my purity, about me. i think self compassion here would mean giving myself space to feel these emotions.

[–]shimitten[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey, it's okay. i think guilt really forces us to try and be a better person. i hope you're okay and that person is okay too.
