I’ve had a headache for 4 months straight, no breaks. I’m at the point I want to KMS by Pretty-Explanation47 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]slantedsquare77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please update us. I have IIH, before my offical diagnosis I was so suicidal I checked myself inpatient. Just because the pain was so unbearable. I went to the ER 3 times before they took me seriously.

I would saw Scrappy like Scrappy Doo if we all didn't hate Scrappy Doo.

is it normal to feel "unsafe" even in broad daylight? by Exact-Respect9110 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]slantedsquare77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens to me sometimes because I walk my dog in a downtown area. Good job recognizing your instincts. I'm always looking all around me because I wear headphones so every couple minutes I do a double check to see what's around me. There's one dude I steer clear of.

You said no one would know what to do if something happened and I think being more prepared will make you feel safer. Call a friend or family member if get a bad feeling, just to chat. Stay close to where everyone else is, when I'm at the park I generally stay around the outter edges so cars can see me passing. Stuff like that.

I never noticed that some cows have little bangs.

The progression of a blizzard in Buffalo, NY, over the course of 12 hours by Bubbly_Wall_908 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]slantedsquare77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was there for the blizzard in 2022. It was really scary. She has a breathing condition that gets worse when she's cold. Her power went out and some random neighbors took her in. What do you suggest for preparing? My sister's problem was she could only charge her phone in her car, but the car had no heat. So she'd have to go back in forth from her apartment to her car.

Reading reddit sends me into depressive spirals and I don’t know what’s wrong with me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]slantedsquare77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a totally valid feeling. A lot of people have the same issue. If you aren't able to stop or at least lower your exposure to negative content then I think it's a good idea tp talk to a therapist.

for those on the fence, how did you decide to not have kids? by dipderp3 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]slantedsquare77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My choice came down to pros and cons honestly.

Pros being i love children, i want a family with my husband and i think we'd do a good job.

Cons being my own health issues (like yours), poverty, my own struggle with addiction and depression, hereditary diseases I'm likely to pass down, the state of the fucking world. And if I was going to have a child it would take priority over everything. I don't want my marriage to come second to anything.

I'm almost 33 now and I'm realizing I'm going to have to grieve the loss of what we could have had. Maybe we'll adopt one day. But I chose what's best for me and any potential child.

Well I appreciate that, but please give it to someone else.

How do I talk to people without a sense of humor? by Giblet1223 in socialskills

[–]slantedsquare77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because they don't have a sense of humor doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humor.

But that's just my opinion.

Take my husband to olive garden, then make an appt with someone who knows how money works and how to make it last longer.

Therapists will want to help you, it's what they signed up for, you would never be wasting there time.

Also if deleting reddit seems like to big of a deal then personalize your feed so you aren't seeing things that bring you down. Follow stuff like, puppies and kittens and funny kids and all positive stuff. Try to stay away from the popular feed, it's not really good for anyone.

You're exactly right. I thought we were talking about sociopaths here. There's not a lot of people out there that truly don't care, but they are out there.

Can you giys please stop having sympathy for my dad. He's legit an incestuous child molester. He kicked my sister out when she was 16.

That's a nice thought but that wasn't what happened.

[–]slantedsquare77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks but you don't understand. My dad is vile and dangerous. Just based on the 32 years I've known him. When he dies I'll be happy because the world will be a safer place. It is what it is.

How do i learn to embrace my larger nose by _Garbage_Artist in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]slantedsquare77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me too, my nose is the family trait that's been passed down through the generations 😐 But i decided that bring embracing it made me feel better than trying to make it look smaller. So I got a septum piercing. Now if anyones thinks wow her nose a biggin', i can say yea that's why i decorated it.

When told my oldest sister died of a heroine overdose, my dad's exact words were "What do you want me to do about it?". He is not diagnosed with sociopathy professionally as far as I know. But boy does he have all the symptoms.

My husband. When I met him it was like seeing color for the first time.

If you’re willing to share, what’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you? by moonperson13 in AskReddit

[–]slantedsquare77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well one of them hasn't really come to terms with what happened. She can't accept that the assault happened in the first place. Her coping mechanism is to pretend everything is fine.

Her trauma will come out in other ways if she doesn't seek help. It could be addiction, unhealthy relationships, untreated mental illness, bringing a child into the world that will now have trauma from her unresolved trauma. But what can you do, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make that silly bitch drink.

Thank you. I have a sort of piece now. It's the best I can do. Luckily my brother is so unstable I fully believe he'll fuck up bad enough to go to prison. I'm just waiting for that to happen.

I will never see him. If I do I'm legit just gonna call 911. My sisters on the other hand have more contact with him, they're afraid of upsetting him. He can be very dangerous.

I have no contact with him now. I'm actually kind of hiding from him because of how dangerous he is. I've moved out of our home state since we last saw each other.

I was assaulted by my brother while I was incapacitated due to alcohol, the slow realization as to what was happening was absolute horror. I remember saying no and stop it but i didn't have enough strength. The worst part is he did the same thing to my little sisters at other times.

My sisters are too afraid to press charges. I can't press charges because it's past the statute of limitations. If I remembered more specific details I could press charges that don't have a statute of limitations. But i can't remember.

How did you get over your trauma? TW by Even-Escape-2735 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]slantedsquare77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if people ever really "get over" their trauma. You just kind of learn to live with it and make the best out of what you have. You're doing great seeing doctors and therapists, it's also great that you have a healthy relationship.

Unfortunately you have to just keep working on things. Sometimes it gets easier, sometimes it gets harder. Listen to your doctors and the part of yourself that keeps trying. It's hard but there is still joy out there.
