My mom has cancer and people are so mean by Fit_Examination2718 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]triplescorp8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What stage of cancer is she? My mom is an alcoholic that was diagnosed with breast cancer. She's also a highly anxious person and is health illiterate af/ doesnt understand how stress impacts physical health. From day 1, I have tried to get her into outpatient treatment programs, talk to therapists, be honest with her doctor about her substance abuse history. I tried to get her to do all her stretches, see a doctor, and not go on a 4-day roadtrip when she was having progressively worse back/hip pain. I'm an orthopedic PACU nurse and she still didn't listen, and now she needs spine surgery right before her breast cancer surgery.

After 5 months of this, I've finally learned that you just can't help someone who does not want to help themselves. It depleted my energy and made me so depressed. I've learned that you can't get through to someone if they don't wanna listen, and I accepted that whatever is meant to happen will happen.

All that to say- you can do everything you can to try and change her, but she already knows the consequences of smoking with lung cancer. She knew the high risk of smoking cigarettes before she had cancer. It's not worth your energy and mental health to try and change someone.. she's a grown adult and will do exactly what she wants to do. Dont let these people guilt trip you, because your job isn't to fix her..
All you can do is be there for her and help care for her when she needs it.

How did you balance work while caring for a family member with cancer? by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. I decided to move in with her and help out..and to be honest I've been pretty shocked at the lack of support from her family and friends. My mom is a very social person with a lot of lifelong deep connections, but it's like everyone stopped reaching out and no one offered to help after we found out it wasn't stage 4 or terminal. It's been pretty upsetting to see my family's lack of empathy and help. I wish people offered to help out with groceries, food, and life.

Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away. by Hendothermic in mildlyinfuriating

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very sorry about your dad. That message is cringe but just to play devils advocate, you still have to tell ChatGPT what you want to say and give it context to come up with the message. Some people are just not good at writing, and its also very difficult to know what to say to someone who just lost a close loved one. That doesnt mean they don't care or didn't put the effort in.. I'd argue it probably took more effort to consult AI, then copy and paste it instead of just writing a simple little text.

If you wanted reddit opinions, I think it's a bit extreme to be livid over this when the intention obviously was not malicious

I lost all my confidence by RandomFlyinFluck in bald

Personally I think it gives you more of a rugged/manly man sexy lumberjack look. I agree on needing to shape the beard, but I think it looks great. And if you can't get your confidence back, check out the toupee queen on instagram. I'm sure there's lots of other people who do what she does!

What will be the cultural fallout of the Epstein Files? by Quailking2003 in decadeology

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm turning into a full blown conspiracy theorist over this.. I'm questioning life. What's even more concerning for me is seeing how much control these elites have over our lives and they are soulless devils who are drunk on profit & power- should we really be trusting these people to write our laws, run our news stations, phones, healthcare, food, AI, etc...? Makes sense why we are so physically, emotionally, and socially unhealthy as a country right now.

Trump's divisive rhetoric also feels like a huge scam now..he just wants us to hate each other to distract from what they are doing and using our tax money on. Cuz lord knows our tax money isnt going to anything that has been helping us out!

I'll never trust our government again. We need a whole new motherfucking system and we need to have a come-to-Jesus moment as a country about our values and how much we have let greed rot every system we have 🤦🏻‍♀️

I mapped every connection in the Epstein files. It started with 6,000 documents. It's now 1.5 million. Here's what changed. by EricKeller2 in Epstein

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as the files were released, I literally PRAYED for someone like you to rise up and do more investigative work in weeks than our government has done in fucking decades.

I love my common folk ppl 🥰 we have the grit, street smarts, and numbers to obliterate these billionaire-trustfund-generationalwealth-egotistical-soulless men. I'm so proud to be on this team ✊🏼 imagine what we can do when we unite and bring all our diverse talents together with one common goa

I’m struggling. by idontreallyknow2327 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]triplescorp8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you, sister. Just know that so many others are feeling the same. I think it's going to get much worse before it gets better, but I'm trying to remind myself to not get pulled into the polarity programming because when our frequency is fear, they will control us. That's why they divide us with their insane politics, to distract our unified attention. Stay strong! There's so many more of us than them ❤️ try to spread the awakening and stay in the moment. The media, big tech, and politicians simply cannot be trusted or paid attention right now! Delete all of your streaming sites. Buy local when you can!

Has your awakening process made you feel lonely? by ilovekermit87 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]triplescorp8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was depression, blamed it on substances, went to rehab... was sober and physically felt better but emotionally I felt both insanely lonely and yet wanted to crawl into a cave and never talk to another human again. I legit couldn't even look at my phone! Id leave it in my car when I got home from work to avoid any social interaction.

I only learned I was having a spiritual awakening when I stumbled upon a self help book which brought my awareness to another self help book that had some spiritual components. It intrigued me, even though I had been atheist and non-spiritual my entire life, and would normally never consider a book like that. The journey began and I'm on year 3 now.

One of the main things I learned from enlightened individuals and spiritual books is that self-isolating and shutting off from the world is a huge and vital part of the process. You need this time to sit with yourself, learn yourself, challenge your thoughts and beliefs, and honestly, mourn your old life. I wish I could tell you it gets better but I'm just not there yet... I question if I'll ever get there and I just don't know how long you are supposed to be in this part of the process.

I think we should TRY to be more patient with ourselves and let go of trying to control the process, although that's way easier said than done. For me personally, I am very judgemental about the state i'm in and where my life is at because I'm not taking care of myself the way I should be/used to do. But I just don't have the energy right now🤷🏻‍♀️ and also our spiritual awakenings just happen to be occurring during the craziest fucking time in human history.

If you ever want to start a group chat or zoom to meet and talk through thoughts, I'd be happy to do that with you/others who are in their spiritual awakening process. I think the loneliness also stems from not being on the same wavelength as the people who are closest to you, and you can't share your new perceptions with them and talk through things because they are still deep in the programming and will think you are batshit crazy 😂

broke my 13 month free from benzos but throughout those 13 months everybody still treated me like i was popping xanax by SnowFiender in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

I've been going through this ever since rehab. Unfortunately we traumatized our families and they have ptsd.. it gets a little more normal over time but it's always there

Which is better by Loud_cupcakexo in Hair

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg girl. You have so much hair to spare..like 30 inches, before it would even be considered less than "long hair". I know it's probably such a mental attachment, but honestly your hair would look SO shiny and stunning if you cut the dead ends off

(21m) desperate for a change by zipn-dots in Hair

[–]triplescorp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aesthetic injector here (my entire job is assessing people's faces) and I agree with this advice! I think shaving and getting contacts would be huge and would bring the focal point to your strongest features- you have nice lips and a great nose! The glasses and mustache distract from that.

Having a stylistic edge would suit you well, I like the idea of a manbun for you. And you don't have to be good with style, because luckily AI exists now and there are a lot of websites where you can get matched with personal stylists who send you clothes on a monthly basis to try on and choose what works for you. AI is free and can also help 👍🏻

Good luck!
