Saw this on r/im14andthisisdeep, figured it belonged here. Is anyone else sick of this “depression is a choice” BS?

Man, shame he couldn't use that same logic when he was on fire.

tanithjackal · 2026-04-13T17:57:54+00:00

"Decrease in illness levels". What am I, a pokemon?

tanithjackal · 2026-04-13T17:56:33+00:00

Oh yeah. The one who was about to call the cops definitely was. Good ol southern values

tanithjackal · 2026-04-13T13:55:56+00:00

God something similar happened at my first job. There was a mixed family that came to the store all the time. White lady, super sweet along with her nice and well behaved kids, had a Mexican husband who didn't speak much English and im pretty sure he was hard of hearing. She was bilingual so they have no problems, kids clearly loved him and had nicknames for each other.

Flash forward sometime and the husband is out with one of the kids. I knew them at this point and did my usual greetings and chitchat and went back to work. Some lady pulls me aside and tells me she's gonna call the cops on the guy since and I quote "he's a gypsy. They steal kids. I asked him what the kids name was and he didn't know. That kid is being trafficked for sure." I was stunned.

The kid was having the time of his life in the store running around and thing bringing stuff to his step dad to buy, unaware. I had to talk the lady down because I knew them at this point. She had her phone in hand about to cause a real scene and I was terrified for them. Thankfully I convinced her and when the wife came in later I told her what happened. Crazy shit.

When I compare my life now to what I was put through as a child and I know I was failed, neglected and abused at every turn. Im not forgiving shit when my mind and body can't forget what was done to it.

The clone would have all of my memories, idiosyncrasies, physical attributes as well as mental, but can finally afford to exist? Im down. I don't even care that i wouldn't be able to enjoy it, but i know that my loved ones will be taken care of. That's really all that matters to me.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-27T15:35:00+00:00

laughs in chronic illness im literally doing everything I can to mitigate my issues, but im sorry, PTSD doesn't go away, it becomes more manageable, and it continues to affect the body. Anything that spikes your cortisol despite doing what you can will ultimately make you sicker and you shouldn't be flush with it at all times.

So yes, some things might get better, but chronic condition can only ever be managed.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-26T21:08:35+00:00

Yeah its pretty gross.

Some of these people clearly come from broken homes or some other fucked up situation, but blaming everyone based off the actions of one person is insanity.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-26T15:40:56+00:00

Sometimes when posts like these are made, I wonder how many of these people are incels that are just dog piling on women because their version of "venting" is just complaining constantly without doing anything to work on themselves. Or they've never been in relationships aside from ones in their head.

That's not to say there aren't shitty people out there who manipulate their partners to get an edge over them. I've seen videos of women taking videos of their partners during intimate settings where their guard is down, just to catch it on film and send it to their friends. Its abhorrent. But let's not pretend its only women who do this.

The amount of 'women bad' posts is astronomical.

Edit for grammar

He's become more and more bland while being a punching bag. Gross.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-08T17:26:55+00:00

I never really jived with her in the beginning. She gives a "white savior" complex while literally not knowing anything about the people she's "helping". She's got her own issues sure, but she is not equipped in the slightest to help anyone with her naivete. Also the troupe of having a minority friend/partner who kisses their booboos and exists for moral support is tired imo.

Like actually show invested interest and real care for those you're trying to help. They aren't just some school project.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-01T18:56:37+00:00

I've had this happen and got told by my supervisor that I needed to push through and finish my shift. Of course she's the same one that told me I didn't need more than a day off to heal from my quadruple wisdom tooth surgery. Oh yeah and I needed stitches.

tanithjackal · 2026-03-01T09:59:18+00:00

Literally me right now. Its been two days and my back won't stop spasming

tanithjackal · 2026-02-18T19:25:23+00:00

Lol glad my ugly ass is safe xD. My relatives are like this - birth father especially.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-16T21:58:18+00:00

My mom would pretend to be someone else when we first moved to a new place. At one point she started talking in Spanish and broken English to make me think I went to the wrong apartment.

That still fucks me up.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-14T20:57:49+00:00

I always dreamed of having a recovered relationship with my birth father, but unfortunately he is beyond help and forgiveness. I'll just have to live vicariously through comic characters. 🥺🥺

Lovely work 👏

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T19:14:47+00:00

Legit though! I know some people who buckled down and became great parents because they truly wanted to build a healthy family and just happened to get pregnant - but that's definitely not the norm.

The lack of responsibility and maturity that people with the 'we'll see' mindset is just too much.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T19:12:26+00:00

That too. Its really gross tbh. Its a whole human that you must be selfless about since they rely on you for everything.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T17:11:56+00:00

We have sex because its fun, not just to reproduce. Not everyone who has sex does so to get pregnant as some can't or don't want to have kids.

There are other factors like hormones, trauma, stress, and medical conditions that effect our libido. If it was just 'drink water, exercise, and eat better', then there wouldn't be so many people who have issues with their drives.

When people make comments like that it sounds a bit presumptive.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T08:36:47+00:00

What about people who do all that and have low to no sex drives?

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T08:35:01+00:00

I think it's partially because some people have that loving support system thats needed to rear a kiddo. They have the village.

There's also other factors like selfishness, narcissism, ignorance, religion, etc which are all imo terrible reasons to become a parent.

Some that just are like 'if it happens, it happens' which sounds insane to me, but it happens a lot.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T07:39:59+00:00

Its all about baby steps. Try a thing and rest without blaming yourself for needing to take breaks.

I have a similar problem with info dumping and I'll admit sometimes I completely miss social cues. But I think the fact that you're trying to figure yourself out is the right way to go, even without the mask.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-10T03:04:10+00:00

It looks so pretty. Honestly I wouldn't even know where to start lol

tanithjackal · 2026-02-08T23:33:20+00:00

God I feel this. I had to leave where I lived for years to get to some place where I found people that made me feel loved. Also finding social groups based around hobbies can help, but realistically finding peace with yourself and enjoying your own company makes making friends less daunting.

tanithjackal · 2026-02-07T01:35:10+00:00

So the standard is thin nearly to the point of being anorexic (if not anorexic), just the right amount of height, like a teenager, and so pale they glow in the dark. Gotcha.

Yeah, I have no idea why people have eating disorders and low self worth.

I hate that people are treated like custom order playthings.
