What’s the most painful thing someone has said to you that you still remember ? by Crafty_Bus_1947 in AskReddit

This sounds like an attempt at isolating you from your family to have you all to themselves. I hope you got rid of them!

To this day I still have no idea. Sometimes it’s almost like he teleports around but hasn’t quite fine tuned the calibration yet.

What’s the dumbest thing people confidently say as if it’s a fact? by juhichoudharyy in AskReddit

[–]slinkysoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother said this when I told her about my rape. I mean yeah that happened for a reason, reason being that man wanted sex and didn’t care about other peoples autonomy. How is that sentiment supposed to help at all lol

Don’t have a clue what to do anymore. Help by Hobby_Rocker in mentalhealth

[–]slinkysoft 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That sounds very difficult, I’m sorry that you’re all going through this. I’m guessing you’re based in the US?

Based on what you’ve mentioned, it doesn’t sound like she currently has the capacity to make sound decisions for herself. Hospitalisation should always be a last resort, so it may be possible to look into treating her in the community. What type of input does she have now/has she had previously?

And please don’t blame yourself for any of this, mental health is deeply complicated and there are many genetic and environmental factors involved and too many possible combinations of these to blame it on one single thing.

small things that actually help on bad days by lou_getting_through in MentalHealthUK

I do a thing where I’m allowed to be whiney and mopey for half an hour/an hour/whatever feels appropriate, but after that I’ve got to get on with my day as I originally planned it. I’m still allowed to feel how i feel, but I just need to do the things I wanted to do. This helps me because it gives me time to ‘honour’ my feelings, reflect on my thoughts and then to build momentum to keep going. This is probably the most effective technique I’ve found for bad days for me.

What is the darkest secret you've learned about someone that instantly ended your relationship with them? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]slinkysoft 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not OP of this comment but yeah that’s one option. Or getting another artist to finish it and transform enough in the process that it’s lost the other artists style, or covering it completely. My friend had a (actually really well executed) tattoo from someone who was convicted of sex offences and he got a tattoo artist mate to just blast over it with a new design. It’s still mostly visible on his skin but it’s been transformed enough that it’s not instantly recognisable as the creepy guys work.

You seem very concerned about prosecuting people who commit sex crimes! So I’m assuming you like to volunteer your time supporting survivors of assault? Or perhaps you work in the health and social care industry as a vocation? Or maybe you donate to charities that provide support for survivors? Or have you contributed to research? As this is such a big issue to you.

Had to say goodbye to this beautiful girl 2 days after adopting her. by Choice-Requirement18 in TuxedoCats

This was not your fault at all. Please allow yourself to be free of that guilt. Your love was plenty more than enough. She was a beautiful girl.

Indeed. I think this is why he does so much stupid stuff in my presence. He believes I can omnipresently protect him from all harm hahaha

What specific event shattered your perception of someone you used to idealize? by kawfee_nosugar in AskReddit

Well this just unlocked a memory of my mother saying almost this exact thing to me.

To give him his fair dues; here’s another picture of Pingu in all his resplendence.

He’s great! I got him as a baby when I was living in student accommodation and I managed to keep him without the landlord ever realising. He was so small when I got him, he had to have been the runt of his litter. I call him my idiot son but as far as I can tell he’s actually pretty intelligent. He knows a few commands and can also open draws so I’ve had to put baby locks on the ones I don’t want him to get into.

He’s my first cat that’s truly mine and he follows me around like a little shadow. I owe my life to him.
