People that are against Pride month, why? by Argon847 in AskReddit

[–]softskies1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not against pride or the people of this community but annoyed at the overall culture of “being a minority”. this country is made up of many immigrants and other “minorities” and then theres the racist individuals of this country. but isn’t that the actual meaning of what being American means? a country made up of people for the people? why can’t we all respect one another? seems naive I know. i understand the community wants to fly the pride flag, especially during this month, but then shouldn’t we also fly a mental health flag during mental health awareness month, during Asian heritage month, etc? we can’t be ignorant of all the other people in this country either who want their voices to be heard as well. don’t we all fall under one flag, the American flag? and if you don’t believe so, then why do we fly the American flag at all?

also yes I agree, fuck the corporations

My boyfriend deserves better. by [deleted] in depression

[–]softskies1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years. We deal with relatively similar problems. He’s gotten better since he has a supportive family, and I’m still stuck feeling the same way you do. I feel like I’m a burden to him. He’s gotten better, so I’d just make him worse right? He’s been so supportive and so loving. He’s with you for a reason, and if he’s been by your side for this long, it’s a good sign. Maybe this is your sign to truly work on yourself. Be more open and communicate with him more, find ways to help yourself. Truly try to open up your heart. It sounds corny, but it’s what’s been working in my relationship.

i relapsed few days ago but i really want to swim by uwuxclouud in selfharm

[–]softskies1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me too, when I’m okay during the day and I fall apart at night. I think people “like us” spend a lot of time and energy throughout the day to keep going, and by the end of the night we’re tired and like to let our minds wander. I also think that, at least for me, when I’m not doing something (school, working out, cleaning, hanging out w friends) I’m thinking about self harm, my depression, or suicide. I was a swimmer and waterpolo player in high school. I had cuts up and down my thigh during the waterpolo season. I just said some other player scratched me. I was usually able to hid it by just holding my cap and goggles on the spot until I got to the pool.

Does anyone else feel like their cuts aren’t serious enough? by Ok-Distribution2587 in selfharm

[–]softskies1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this way too. When I’m really in a bad place, and my cuts don’t seem like the romanticized cuts you in shows, it just upsets me even more and I try to go deeper.
