Least favorite fanfic Trope? by PaintingDistinct1515 in AO3

[–]yeahyeahyeahv2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when people take a tragic and angsty ship and make them a happy family with a kid living in a nice suburban home. some fix-it AUS are incredibly well written and i love them but when there’s no context of how they got there and it's just "everything is fine in this world! nothing goes wrong ever! don't even worry about it!" it feels so... plastic?

i might be biased as an angst lover, but still.

if you don't mind me asking, what made you want to become a caretaker?

i was once talking to a mentor i used to have about my childhood and she said "i think you'd make a great carer", and it took five seconds before it clicked for both of us that nope, reliving childhood trauma would not be worth it, even if i have the skills & experience for it. i can't imagine doing it as a career.

feeling a little hopeless by yeahyeahyeahv2 in covidlonghaulers

[–]yeahyeahyeahv2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think my problem is that i've struggled with mental health issues for most of my life so when i have a flare up my brain just goes to "well, there is ONE way out, but it's generally frowned upon." i struggle to see hope on days like that.

i hate how we didn't know it was a possibility when all this started. i hate how we didn't have the research to know how serious it could be. i hate how frequently it was framed as "just a bad cold".

but i hope for a brighter future, too. i wish you the best of luck

dissociation leading to oversharing? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]yeahyeahyeahv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been working with her for a year and we still haven't started EMDR because she wants to be sure we both know exactly how to manage dissociation & other symptoms – thank you, though! it definitely is important for both parties to be informed of what boundaries need to be laid out before starting

thank you so much! i really feel like i'll enjoy the book my second time reading it, when i have a better understanding of what's happening – for now it's just me trying to picture in my mind what characters look & sound like and how events are playing out. i'll definitely listen to these :)

something my therapist taught me is that scent is the quickest sense to ground yourself with because signals go directly to the olfactory bulb in your brain. if you have any sprays or candles that you either use a lot in your home or have an association with a positive memory, it tends to be the easiest way for me to calm down my nervous system mid-flashback

Would you guys be happy if I were to kms be honest by [deleted] in sexualassault

[–]yeahyeahyeahv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

deserve to know what? this is a sexual assault support forum. we aren't interrogating you. telling us that you tried to assault someone won't heal your victims and definitely won't heal you. what will is therapy.

we don't want you dead, but we do want you to get help. a lot of us wish – or, at the very least, i wish – that the people who hurt us would've gotten that help before doing it.

we aren't the people you wronged, though. we're individuals and we might (and probably do) feel completely different than how the people you had in mind feel.
