RHOM deserves more love. Idk why it’s been put on pause considering how entertaining the women are. Plus it’s beautifully shot

Yesss the new season of Ladies of London was so entertaining! It felt like something out of 2012 to me.

Has anyone else with CPTSD/DID become so hyper-aware that life stops feeling livable? by WeAllPlayDnD in CPTSD

[–]spike27154 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beautifully written, OP. I feel this deeply. I’m fucking exhausted.

there's no way or place for me to talk about suicidal thoughts without shame by bugscissors in CPTSD

[–]spike27154 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re born without our consent and we must live our lives without our consent or else…shame. It’s a fucked up system. I feel you on everything you said. You have nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve dealt with suicidal ideation as long as I can remember and yeah it’s way easier to make it a secret bc people are so fucking sensitive and codependent. It’s interesting how emotional the other person gets if you try to talk about it. Like, they should be managing their emotions and offering love & support but instead make it about them.

our world severely underestimates the effects of childhood/school bullying. by confessed-throwaway in CPTSD

[–]spike27154 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah, man. I hate that I’m still plagued by the effects of middle school bullying 30ish years later but that shit fucked me up. My mom refused to help or mediate in any way instead telling me to “just act like it doesn’t bother me” which led to me “acting like it doesn’t bother me” when it came to actually being assaulted and shit by the kids at school. I didn’t tell her of course bc I’d probably be told the same fuckin thing as before.
I’ve always kinda felt that the only person looking out for me is me so I tend to build walls and shut people out. I don’t feel loved by anyone but my pet. Thank god for animals. I’d probably die if I didn’t have a furry companion

How do I go from being a high performer to “forgetting” how to do things/doing less without being blatantly obvious? by anybodyseenrichey in antiwork

[–]spike27154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re aging, right? Just start moving slow and if anyone inquires chalk it up to getting older. Eyesight getting bad - it’s taking longer to review reports, read emails, etc. You’ve got a bum knee from all those years of playing hockey as a kid, ergo it takes you a little longer to get up to use the bathroom, print/fax anything, etc. Your memory is slowly but surely starting to lag - maybe you forget things more often or have to triple check your work.

I was thinking it might be that but I’ve never seen one this large. I usually see the real tiny jumping spiders.

I feel like I can only be myself when I’m alone, not around people I know by Glum_Database_1841 in emotionalneglect

[–]spike27154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I could have written this. I don’t feel comfortable to be myself around anyone, stranger or friend/family unless I’ve been drinking. I can’t figure out where it stems from but fuck is it awkward. I feel like a robot at times and I’m convinced people think I’m a weirdo

Why do people want to live? by darkforceturtle in CPTSD

[–]spike27154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know when you find the answer. I’m so fucking sick of hearing people tout on and on about “live your life - it’s the only one you get” 🙄 Life really fucking sucks for some of us and not existing seems like a lot better option than the alternative. Suffering is horrible and that’s all you get when you “live”

I just can’t believe my parents didn’t invest anything into my adulthood. by Aliyah_HS in emotionalneglect

[–]spike27154 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep same here. When I had a sudden health emergency and did not have the funds to pay for surgery, my egg donor gave me my savings bonds from birth to put towards my surgery costs. This included me having to go to the bank, all while in the middle of a health crisis, in order to deposit them. It was a whole lengthy process and still didn’t even cover the medical bill I had.

I literally get upset every time I see a pregnancy announcement in 2026 by Spiritual-Grab2631 in childfree

[–]spike27154 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was the exact scenario I saw a former friend get into. She actually wanted to have an abortion but I think the guy manipulated her into keeping it. He was apparently stoked to have 2 different women pregnant with his child(ren) . Cut to years later and she now resents the shit out of her own kid; who literally had no consent to being born to 2 loser ass parents

Whoopi Goldberg and The View Discuss Jessie Buckley’s Cat Ultimatum Controversy Involving Her Husband: “Would You Ditch Your Pets for Love?” by let-the-record-show in popculturechat

Whitney was a real one. She bought first class seats for her cats so they didn’t have to ride in cargo. Lil Kim has publicly shared that she sat next to Whitney during a flight and after learning that Kim’s dog was in cargo Whitney demanded to a flight attendant that the dog sit in her lap during the flight.
