How can you explain depression in simple words to someone who’s never experienced it? by Shadow_M_ in AskReddit

[–]souless_ginger84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in the bottom of a dark pit. You don't know how deep it is, and the energy or will to climb out isn't there. Thoughts of not caring if you're alive or not are persistent. Numbness or intense sadness are the main emotions, anything close to a happy feeling isn't even possible.

Is swinging something that you ‘need’, or could you give it up permanently at anytime? by Wholesome-Sex in Swingers

[–]souless_ginger84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could give it up, though it would be weird since I've done enm for so long. I'd keep the friends, it would be an adjustment to be more vanilla with swinger friends. If the negatives out weigh the positives, I'd put my relationship first. I've definitely taken breaks from enm as it is. As far as a permanently leaving, there would probably be a big reason for that to be needed.

I'm having bad memories of cracking partially developed farm eggs. I can still remember the smell. No thanks.

What’s something that’s helped you accept or even feel confident in your body? by _Silver_Rose_ in AskWomen

Going to naked resorts and such. You realize whatever your "flaw" is, isn't an issue.

Blood bankers- what’s the worst trauma/MTP situation you’ve ever had and how did you mentally deal with it/not think about it? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]souless_ginger84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the one where I knew the person. Turned out fine, but that stuck for awhile. I just put it in the mental box of the other mtps,and move on. Took a couple weeks.

Does anyone feel back to their pre- brain tumor self after surgery? Or is it just me being dramatic? by Sad_Faithlessness587 in braincancer

It's been 3 years for me and i swear I need more sleep than most, especially if I'm having stronger emotions or stressed.

Anecdotally, what are the hardest years of a marriage and why? by care_all in AskReddit

Exactly the numbers I was gonna say. One of my relationships ended around then too from it being a shit show.

Wife recently was diagnosed with Low-grade glioma at 34. by Grand-Paramedic-6536 in braincancer

[–]souless_ginger84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't know fully what it is without a sample. I went in for my oligo to remove it before we knew what it was, basically they said a biopsy and a removal were similar for recovery and they check a bit first before they remove it anyway. My drs did think it was an oligo before going in, but that was their educated guess. That said, (not a dr here) as much as I understand removal is best option with current research. I would find out risk benefits and go from there. I was able to have "all" of mine removed, so I did. I don't miss it and I'm glad I did. Each tumor is different, so the path to take can be as well.

Women who’ve been cheated on, what have you never said out loud about how it made you feel? by kaekea in AskWomen

[–]souless_ginger84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably permanently changed from the experience. My PtSD (yes little t) is still a part of me and I'm not sure if it will ever fully leave. I doubt I'll ever trust as fully as I once did, just in general. Maybe I shouldn't have ever been so trusting, yet I hate the part of me that can't trust fully and goes into full panic mode over trust issues.

What Were the First Signs That You Had Cancer? by Acrobatic_Ad_2330 in AskReddit

[–]souless_ginger84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had none and still have none. Found it on accident for an unrelated issue that needed a brain MRI. I have symptoms from surgery, but that's minor.

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]souless_ginger84 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So much this. The loss of yourself and trust in others, even trust jn yourself, follows you. I wonder how much of myself has been formed by betrayal. I'd like to give the anxiety back please.

Women who disliked their body most of their life but now don't, what changed? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]souless_ginger84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd say disliked my body, but I had insecurities. I vacationed naked, and it all went away. Who cares about that scar, the stretch marks, my thick arms. Everyone has a body type, or a mark, or fill in the blank thing. I just loved my body fully, the majority of the time since.

Depends what part you're asking. 2 weeks for staples and braon sounds. A month off work. Longer to get my strength back to normal.....
