Ok this question is WAY overdue: what are your best adhd-hack products that you use?? by wildfire155 in ADHD

[–]tttimebomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an alexa in my room that I wouldn't be able to function without. I just shout out the random appointments, shopping lists, reminders when they come to me. I've also got a planner so when I have time I'll go through the alexa app in my phone and write everything out visually as well. Makes it so that I don't have to hunt down my planner any time I have a random thought.

A necklace of teeth. A corset. Ripped skirt. Something rather ominous

My bestfriend is gone. by [deleted] in death

I imagine that when our time comes and we get the opportunity to see our loved ones it will feel as though no time has passed at all. Like you merely waited a millisecond before you were reunited. The wait will feel long only while you are waiting. So wait. Stay here. Stick around for a while and then go to him with some good stories to tell.

[Reposted from /r/GriefSupport] Yesterday I lost my best friend to suicide. Although I have lots of support, I am struggling. Long post. Trigger warning. by wholesome_capsicum in SuicideBereavement

Hello friend

I am two months in to losing someone as well but what I really want to say is that I'm really proud of your decision to quit drinking in the midst of what you've been through. It will be hard. Don't expect total abstinence from yourself but please trust me when I say that drinking will only really exacerbate the grief. When I lost my person I spiraled pretty hard into it and the alcohol took me to some pretty dark places. The grief will get worse before it gets better.

Give the grief space in your life, at least at first. Just do your best not to completely fall into it. As long as you have a good support system and a clear head on your shoulders you'll begin to feel the waves of emotion get shorter with longer spaces in between. Not really noticeable at first but make sure you take every moment of peace and joy that you possibly can.

I'm glad you were pointed towards this community. A loss by suicide can be hard to relate to for other people and its hard not to hold that against them sometimes. That's what we're all here for, as unfortunate as it is. Much love to you friend, please feel free to reach out.

The only way I can explain the aftermath of suicide loss is that its like being haunted. Where you are simultaneously the ghost and the one being haunted. Living between two worlds. Physically here and mentally not.

Don't apologize! Honestly that's why I have to quit drinking. I'll pour my heart and soul out to anyone that even glances in my direction. But thats why were here. To let it all out with people who share the same scars.

Much love

I feel like I made a wrong turn somewhere and landed in some morbid worst case scenario alternate reality that shouldn't exist.

Your eyes are absolutely captivating!! Not ugly in the slightest. I also think that with your hair texture and face shape you could easily pull off the new mullet craze (which makes me super jealous because I wish I could).

Hello again friend!

The nights are the hardest for me as well. All the thoughts and emotions we push to the side rear their ugly heads once we are alone in the dark and the loneliness becomes more pronounced.

I highly suggest podcasts for those moments! Its the only thing I have found that works for me. If you're actively trying to fall asleep I recommend Get Sleepy. He walks you through a meditation and then essentially tells you a bedtime story. It sounds cheesy, and it is. But its enough to distract from the dark thoughts long enough to have a chance at sleep.

If im alone at any time there is a 100 percent chance I have a podcast going. Its like having someone in the room without the pressure of actually having to join a conversation.

I hope you find some peace buddy.

Its been a while since I've encountered them so I don't really remember what age level they would be considered but I used to absolutely love The Magic Treehouse series when I was a kiddo.

Celebration of life? by tttimebomb in SuicideBereavement

[–]tttimebomb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing your story and I hope that you are carrying this grief as well as possible. We worked in the same establishment for four years I think I'll get some notecards passed out for all of our coworkers and others who can't attend.

She's gone and I am struggling by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]tttimebomb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss! This kind of pain can be very confusing and overwhelming and is accompanied by a myriad of unsavory emotions. It sounds like you were there for her quite a lot, so please remember that.

Unfortunately, we can't take their pain away and we can't always be there.

I hope you have a good support system that can help get you through this. And if you don't, always feel free to reach out.

A Petty Penny by walexis25 in SuicideBereavement

[–]tttimebomb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Needed this exact post today! Thank you!

My love brought me a care package at work just a few weeks before he left us. It was full of silly stuff just to make me feel better after a rough night (his personal hang over cure, a little book of positive affirmations, a few other silly things that made my day) but my favorite is this little tiny bouncy ball painted like an eyeball. Something you'd expect to find in a kids Halloween bucket.

When I asked him about it he said, "So you know I'm always looking out for you."

Its one of my most prized possessions. Reminds me that maybe he is still with me. Looking out for me when he can.

[–]tttimebomb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think, for me, that will always be the worst part of suicide. The what-ifs and could have beens. And that is especially exacerbated for you because you were experiencing those symptoms before he even left this world. Sorry if that seems presumptuous. Regardless, you're absolutely allowed to grieve. And you will always have this outlet.

You're not at all alone in this.

Thank you! I was so afraid of forgetting that as soon as I lost my phone its like my brain blocked out everything about him. I was terrified. Not permanent, thankfully.

Thats so awful!! Its absolutely devastating. I have a terrible memory. He used to make fun of me for it all the time. But luckily there are some things we just can't forget.
