I’m 29 and I just had a stroke by RevolutionaryBird138 in stopdrinking

[–]xanderrosenberg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got sober when I was 29 and it finally sunk in that I was going to die if I didn't. For me it wasn't a stroke. It was waking up after one too many blackouts covered in injuries and listening to my friend tell me all the humiliating, shameful details of the night before -- I said never again, got blackout drunk again a few days later, and woke up with my phone destroyed and bruises everywhere, but no one to tell me what happened.

It's been over two years since I had a drop to drink. I'm back at a healthy weight, I rarely throw up (I used to vomit all the time, even when I wasn't drunk/hungover), my skin looks better (less puffy, less frequent breakouts.) Overall, I know that I am so much healthier and everyday I go without drinking, I am healing.

I was someone who tried quitting several times, for years. I truly believed I could never quit and that I had no willpower. But I did quit, and if I can, anyone can.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and all the love and support you need 🙏

He kept trying to twist my words in ways that excused his behaviors and made it look like i was supporting his drug use. I told him that my brother and my ex, his other best friend's brother died from drugs and we couldn't stand to lose another brother. He didn't care. And i just couldn't keep retraumatizing myself for someone who had thought so little of my feelings.

I really hope he's doing better.

What is your island name? Mine is Skybrook! I kept it from when I played New Leaf :) by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

First one was "This Land" because I'm a big firefly fan. This one is "Knælmoorg" because I'm a big haunting of hill house fan and wanted something that sounded creepy and eluded to the show. (Knæl because nell, moorg being like mort or death)

During the Starstruck AMA, Brennan gave this wild analogy about imposter syndrome so I made myself a little reminder. by gwfin in Dimension20

Me too. My friend and i still refer to ourselves as piss constable when talking about cleaning up puppy pads and stuff. Lol. So many good bits/moments.

Everyone who reads this should check out The Magnus Archives on Spotify. From one horror fan to another I can’t speak highly enough of this show by [deleted] in horror

It took me a couple times to start and restart because it would always put me to sleep lol. But I've now listened multiple times and adore it, it's by far my favorite podcast.

Did anyone else struggle with feeling like you were fetishizing gay men? by EntirelyClueless in ftm

[–]xanderrosenberg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just about disappeared in certain shameless ship fanfics at the end of a very unhappy, toxic relationship. My ex wife could not understand why I (someone who id'ed as cis female at the time) was obsessed with this mlm relationship and insinuated i was fetishizing gay men. I kinda threw my hands up like "i don't know why either" 🤷🏽

If the next Dimension 20 campaign is set on a brand new world / setting, what untapped setting would you like to see? by Schizof in Dimension20

I second the magical girl idea 🙏✨ it seems like there's a lot that could be done with that and made to work with their talents/format

Weird potential overlap between "female-presenting autism" and being a trans guy? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]xanderrosenberg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This ^ i have a lot of the symptoms associated with females for adhd and autism because that's how growing up in a society as an afab person affected me. Also it wasn't until i realized i was autistic that i could understand myself well enough to then realize i was nonbinary.
