TW: Sexual, physical, emotional abuse and self harm/suicide
I was diagnosed with depression my entire life. Depression was never a big deal to me. I never thought it wasn't a thing but being miserable, it was just the "norm" for me. And thus, depression was just another day and you either "got over it" or was "weak."
When my doctor told me I was bipolar. I hated it. I hated her and I hated myself most of all. I went home and cried in the shower, and then the anger came in. I wanted so badly to hurt myself, to punish myself for this. And then the guilt and disgust set in. The disgust over what the pills I picked up represented. The mood stabilizers were an insult to me. An insult to my control over myself. But even worse, a reminder that I was broken.
I never hid depression diagnosis from my doctors, therapists, etc. But I never "acted" depressed. That was stupid in my head. You went out into the world everyday acting cheerful and friendly because that was the right thing to do. I scoffed at my friends saying to me "I'm too depressed today" and mocked my friend while he was going through a really hard time. To me, it was laziness and pathetic that they couldn't just force themselves to get things done or go to work. I did this last year and saw how much I damaged our friendship. I ended up apologizing to him in the end.
I learned to shut up quickly as a child. I was sexually assaulted at age of 10/11 by my grandmother's partner and all that happened was a slap on the wrist. From then on, I was forced to sit there at the kitchen table and be respectful towards him to "keep the peace." He would continue to make comments about my body when I would end up alone with him, but I never spoke up again.
My mother got into drugs when I was quite young and often had child protective services at the door. She would threaten me so I would lie to them. If I didn't like to them, she told me I would be put in a foster home where I would be raped and beaten.
I eventually moved away from my mother and started living with my grandfather. I would often spend all summer with him and my babysitter was emotionally abusive and had him on her side. I couldn't stand being with my mother so I chose the least worse option. Sometimes I would make a comment, that wasn't meant to be mean, she would start crying to him and he would tell me to learn how to be nice. To learn how to keep things to myself. She offered to take me on a trip and my grandfather approved. It was fine until the trip back. I can't remember what she said to me anymore, but I can remember how trapped I felt. In a car, miles away from home, trying not to show any reaction to what she was saying until I couldn't anymore and ended up bursting into tears. When that happened, she started crying and blaming me for manipulating and hurting her.
When I look back, I can't help but hate myself in all those situations. I blame myself for being weak. I know it isn't rational. Nor was my reaction to this diagnosis or these new meds. I can't bring myself to take these meds and accept that I'm really just some fucked up, mentally ill person and can't ever change that. I'd rather destroy my life entirely by cut out my doctor, therapists, etc and never look back. I feel physically sick looking at these meds and had to put them out of my sight.
My grandfather called me and told me my cat got put down. I didn't really react to that, maybe I'm some sort of psycho too, but I feel almost jealous. I've always told people I would rather be put down before I get hospitalized. I wish I could have that option, to point to this and say "I'm too sick, can you just put me to sleep?" but that option doesn't exist. I can shove pills down my throat to keep everyone around me happy until I finally die.

2023.03.26 00:39 desenpointe Pain disappeared?
I've been on a journey towards endo diagnosis for about 1.5 years now due to matching symptoms + incredible pain. Last summer, I was on a drug similar to Visanne for 5 days and stopped because the side effects sucked. Since then, I've done nothing to treat symptoms, but this year, I'm in virtually no pain. What happened?? Has anyone else's pain ever just disappeared?
Some thoughts:

Some thoughts:
- Most importantly IMO, I've relieved a lot of stress from last year to now. My employment and housing situations are so much better than they were in 2022, so I assume that relief and stability has a huge impact on my body and my decreased experiences of pain. I also used to have horrible joint pain that seems to have disappeared.
- I've been vaccinated for COVID 3 times (starting Oct. 2021) and heard that it can exacerbate endo pain due to it triggering inflammation/your body's immune system. Maybe since I haven't been vaxxed again in a bit, the pain isn't as bad? Thing is, I came off birth control in Sept. 2021 before I was vaxxed and already had severe pain then, so maybe it wasn't the shots.
- I remember reading once that pain could decrease as the stage/severity of endo progresses due it potentially coating nerve endings and blocking pain reception. Terrifying. I hope that's not it.
2023.03.26 00:37 Clarelpy1248 Worried that I don’t deserve my healthy relationship because I’m incapable of treating someone healthily due to my ambitions and family background.
Edit: was originally a post asking for advice, devolved into an incoherent rant so posting here ig.
Pardon any typos but it’s 7am here and I haven’t slept yet.
I [18F] am in a wonderful relationship with my long-distance boyfriend [M17]. He’s just the most amazing person ever and I feel absolutely supported with him. Our futures and plans align and we share the same values.
However, I’ve just been worried about my career in relation to our relationship. He knows that I want to pursue a STEM career and he fully supports me. I dropped out at 15 and I’m self-studying and picking up where I left off so I can take the necessary exams and go to college. I’m very passionate about this.
As the field stands, it’s still male dominated and I’m worried that a relationship will cause me to be taken less seriously. I feel like I need to box myself in that “type-A workaholic” box to have my opinion heard as a woman in the field. I’ve heard horror stories about women having their work taken credit by male colleagues or just facing harassment. I know that this is irrational, and I know that to break the mould I should do whatever brings me joy and still excel in my career but it’s really difficult.
Furthermore, we have both always wanted kids in the future and I still do. I want to play instruments with them and show them water bears under a microscope and be able to raise empathetic and kind adults. I’ve always wanted kids and I want to see them grow up into their own unique person and put in the effort to guide them. I just know how mothers are seen in careers. I know that they’re frequently turned down for opportunities and advancements because their superiors think that they “can’t do a good job” because their focus will be on their kids. It’s utter bullshit, but sadly that’s the perception.
I know I have a tendency to self-destruct what’s good in my life. My parents have a toxic relationship and most examples of men in my life have not been the best. I feel at fault for why my mom couldn’t leave my dad early on since I tied her to him. I know that my perception of relationships are skewed, and I guess I feel like I don’t deserve to be in a healthy one because I don’t think I’m capable of loving someone in a healthy way.
My personal life situation isn’t good now either. My dad’s in a care facility and is bedridden and probably is depressed. My mom finally feels free from his abusive behaviour and isolation. I’m in the middle of that and I’m happy for my mom but also I feel some sort of sympathy for my dad. I hated him when he was abusive but I just can’t pry myself away from him.
Seeing him like this has also made me sort of a hypochondriac because diabetes type 2 runs in his family, and that’s part of the reason why I feel like I can’t be in a relationship; I don’t want my future spouse to have to take care of me if I’m sick and old. Hell, I’m scared of getting old. I’m scared of being so sick in the body and head but can’t escape or end it myself. I’ll probably make a living will someday before I turn 30 just to soothe that fear.
I’m sorry that this has turned into a long winded rant about my family and my fears and everything and all that. I’ve just kept this inside for so long and I have no one to tell. My boyfriend knows, but I don’t want to become codependent on him by telling him everything. It’s too much pressure to put on one person; too much pressure for me as well. I shouldn’t have fears about chronic illness at 18. I shouldn’t be relying completely on myself for studying. I shouldn’t have to study until 5am each day because I spend the daytime visiting my dad. I shouldn’t be surviving on caffeine and pure spite and sleep deprivation. I want to say it’s a middle finger to my situation that I’ve lasted this long, but I’m exhausted, and lonely, and sometimes I drink just to let the floodgates open because I can’t. Not around my mom or dad. I’m so tired.

2023.03.26 00:28 Edeng6 F4A Welcome to Aria! (Adventure , Fantasy )
It was a rainy,gray sunday morning. Lately you've been thinking about stepping out of your comfort zone Yeah, Screw this work-work balance! You're not built for that! Maybe a career change? maybe you should finally give it a go -chase your dreams? Is that too childish? maybe you should go and study something you love? that's never too late Maybe-
So many thoughts lingered through your mind on that fateful day as you 'unfortunately' stepped on an open manhole and slipped right in Everything turned pitch black as the entrance seemed to grow more distant. Enveloped by darkness, you panicked then realized ...that you've been freefalling for a few minutes now in the void. Just how deep was this hole?
Like out of a fantasy novel - you found yourself suddenly out of that dark hole, surrounded by beautiful bright sky, the view was alot to take in You could see colossal mountains in the distance a forest at the east, A city that's built like something you've never seen before, this clearly wasn't anything modern..and you were falling straight towards it ..! and - uh...two suns?! underground? how is this even possible?
An aura enveloped your body and guided your way safely into the middle of an open ,grassy field. It was an unfamiliar,yet warm feeling . You somehow landed unharmed. As the dust slowly cleared you could hear whispers at the far back, Infront of you she stood - Long silvery hair, mesmerizing blue eyes. Nothing you've ever seen before. then you noticed that there were quite a few others behind her, They all had the same uniform like they attended College together. And you couldn't help but notice - they all had silver hair
"A-A human?! with dark hair?"
Almost everyone were awestruck at your presence,and at the never seen before dark hair colour
Whenever you liked it or not - this was the beginning of your new life, If you wanted to step out of your comfort zone..well....you've did an outstanding job of achieving that.
Hey! Thank you so much for reading! I'm F 22 if it matters :) So if this was a bit confusing I'll clear it up a bit-
You've been Isekai'd (basically thrown) Into a new world! filled with magic elements,and in the medieval era, and you've been summoned to be my character's Familliar! Now this is a big event for her because:
1)A Familiar is tied to you forever
2)There's never been a recorded case of a human being summoned- let alone one with such strange features.
In terms of how the story goes from there, I have a basic permise but I'd LOVE to worldbuild with you! I'm not planning to GM, I'd like us both to advance the story,add twists,introduce characters and have a great time together
If you liked this premise, and want to be thrown into this magical new world ,shoot me a message! Note: Try to be creative c:.. "Hey,lets RP" Is a tad boring!

2023.03.26 00:26 nachetb FR# 14 Another day
Hey, so today I went out on my own for a long time, I dont wanna become dependant on a wing so I went on my own to see where Im at. Well, I feel like im gettingbetter as time goes by (at snails pace) but still my approaches/hour ratio is much lower than Id wanted to be, plus im constantly in my head and scared of what people might think.
So I try today a different area less crowded than where I usually go. This was a great logistic change since I saw much more women I was interested in than I usually do, more women going to do stuff rather than hanging out with friends and that.
Ok so I start shitty as always, an hour walking around in my head making excuses as to why not to approach.
I finally give it a shot to a cute blonde which I see with earphones. I walk up to her extremely calmed, which is the best I can take out of today, this interaction was the most relaxed ive ever had. We start talking and its all laughs and good vibes, I feel as if I already knew this girl. A friend of hers appears and I say hi, doesnt make it akward at all, I just wrap up and say that as I said I thought she looked cute and how about we grabbed a coffee sometimes, she tells me she has a boyfriend so I wish her a good day (truly mean it).
This gets me a bit out of my head, after a while I see this girl with awesome body, she wasnt that good looking, but still. I walk behind for a while and almost bailed but ended up giving it a shot. She tells me shes actually dating someone who she met the same way I was meeting her, she tells me fortune favours the brave so we say goodbye and I leave.
Now here comes my issue for today, as to what kind of approaching I was doing I was like, ok, Im much more comfortable approaching girls on their own than I was before, if for whatever reason I feel confident to approach a group or a pair ill do it, but no need to force it, I can get a good number of approaches by following this strategy. Ok, issue goes, besides the fact that what Ive said before is just plain bs, but still, I manage to get in my head each time Im gonna approach a girl, and either end up following her for 15 minutes until she realizes im following her, or she meets up with friends, or goes inside a house... So I legit missed like 6-7 girls because of this reason. And Its not about the girl whats limiting me, its that im always waiting for the perfect moment to approach (cause Im mostly weary of people around) except that moment never comes and u end up missing your shot, I definetely need to work on this and also opening groups. Will work on each when Im with a wing.

2023.03.26 00:26 Kakuflux Absolutely devastated...
After months and months of looking forward to seeing Haken and BTBAM in London tomorrow, I am no longer able to go. Long post, sorry - tl;dr at the bottom.
I've only been listening to Haken since about 2020 but they helped get me through the first lockdown and I've never taken to another band quite like them before. I've enjoyed every moment of this Fauna release, waiting for singles to drop and following the tour updates as they traveled round Europe. Ray even inspired me to pick up the drums for the first time (though I haven't played much recently for reasons I cite below).
The first nail in the coffin was, typically, the British transport system. Got an update at the start of March from the train operator telling me they were doing works on the line tomorrow (the only one that links me to London). This already made things very tricky, with a replacement bus and not getting home until 2am. Proper mither, but if it was just the transport links that were the issue then I'd probably have found a way...
But at the end of last week I was dealt the knockout blow. I am only 32 but for very complicated reasons I suffer from severe arthritis in my hips. I have hardly left the house in the last 3 months except to go to the office once and to attend doctor's appointments. I was heading through the train station on the way home from my doctors appointment on Thursday when I slipped in a puddle and my limbs went akimbo. I sank to the ground in installments and in a way that would have probably looked hilarious on an episode of You've Been Framed but I can assure you it was acutely painful. I am British though so I bounced up from sheer embarassment-fueled adrenaline.
Since I got home I've hardly been able to walk, I've not slept properly. I just hoped it might get better today but it hasn't. It would be hard enough getting several replacement buses while able-bodied, in the state I'm in I just can't make the journey down.
I did have refund protection so will see if I get my money back but if not, I might have two tickets to pass on to anybody who wants them...
Anyway, sorry, this post is very long and rambly and a bit depressing! I just wanted to rant a bit in the hope it's cathartic and others might understand my disappointment. I think even my wife has realised how upset I am and she doesn't really follow my music taste at all. I hope all you who do get to go to the last night of the tour have an amazing time and most of all I want to say THANK YOU to this amazing group of musicians!
I'm sure they'll be back in a town near me one day soon but until then I'll keep listening.
tl;dr slipped at the worst possible time, looked a proper mug, fucked up my already fucked up hips, no more Haken

I've only been listening to Haken since about 2020 but they helped get me through the first lockdown and I've never taken to another band quite like them before. I've enjoyed every moment of this Fauna release, waiting for singles to drop and following the tour updates as they traveled round Europe. Ray even inspired me to pick up the drums for the first time (though I haven't played much recently for reasons I cite below).
The first nail in the coffin was, typically, the British transport system. Got an update at the start of March from the train operator telling me they were doing works on the line tomorrow (the only one that links me to London). This already made things very tricky, with a replacement bus and not getting home until 2am. Proper mither, but if it was just the transport links that were the issue then I'd probably have found a way...
But at the end of last week I was dealt the knockout blow. I am only 32 but for very complicated reasons I suffer from severe arthritis in my hips. I have hardly left the house in the last 3 months except to go to the office once and to attend doctor's appointments. I was heading through the train station on the way home from my doctors appointment on Thursday when I slipped in a puddle and my limbs went akimbo. I sank to the ground in installments and in a way that would have probably looked hilarious on an episode of You've Been Framed but I can assure you it was acutely painful. I am British though so I bounced up from sheer embarassment-fueled adrenaline.
Since I got home I've hardly been able to walk, I've not slept properly. I just hoped it might get better today but it hasn't. It would be hard enough getting several replacement buses while able-bodied, in the state I'm in I just can't make the journey down.
I did have refund protection so will see if I get my money back but if not, I might have two tickets to pass on to anybody who wants them...
Anyway, sorry, this post is very long and rambly and a bit depressing! I just wanted to rant a bit in the hope it's cathartic and others might understand my disappointment. I think even my wife has realised how upset I am and she doesn't really follow my music taste at all. I hope all you who do get to go to the last night of the tour have an amazing time and most of all I want to say THANK YOU to this amazing group of musicians!
I'm sure they'll be back in a town near me one day soon but until then I'll keep listening.
tl;dr slipped at the worst possible time, looked a proper mug, fucked up my already fucked up hips, no more Haken
2023.03.26 00:25 Amazing-Wear-4091 Something weird happened and i’m not sure what to do
so i’m going to give a brief explanation beforehand, i assume this type of conversation theme isn’t allowed or whatever but i don’t know where to go. also phone so yata yata. the context for this is that on the 11 (march) we had unprotected sex and she took a plan b pill and her period ended on the 22 (march), then today 25 (march) we were having intercourse again, and i scratched her (make fun of me whatever was a mistake, hand slipped) it was a small nick the types you get with a nail scratching lightly against skin. point is i stopped to check in on her and she was bleeding, i initially thought it was the scratch and got worried but not even a minute later much more came out, a blood clot and a decently sized one (her words) also said that the blood was lighter than the ones she gets on her period said period one was darker. not really familiarized with the female body and google isn’t really helping, says it can be anything from normal, pregnancy or cancer. im really kinda lost on my actions and what to do i think most obvious and likely is a pregnancy test but i want to know and she does aswell since she says it has never happened before as to what on earth happened. is she pregnant?? is it a normal side effect?? should i be worried?? abortions aren’t allowed at all where i’m from and if she is im kinda fucked anyways thanks for any possible help

2023.03.26 00:25 john177877 [S][USA-CA] Custom handheld 4x5 wide angle camera
Hello! I am selling my Dirk Fletcher 4x5 wide angle camera based on a 3D printed Will Travel body with some excellent custom upgrades. Installed is a 65mm f/8 Schneider Super Angulon lens in a Synchro Compur shutter. Lens shade and cap included. Installed on top is a Fujifilm VF-X21 - 21/28 mm viewfinder. Box and pouch for viewfinder included. Bubble level on top and side of camera body. Locking shutter release cable included. Upgrades include a brass helical focus mount, zone focusing from infinity to 6 feet. Custom spring back allows use of regular 4 x 5 sheet film holders or use of removable ground glass for slower more precise focusing. Quickload and Polaroid backs work with GG removed but Graphmatic or roll-film backs will not fit. A handy left-hand grip with strap was added for easy handheld use. This camera weighs just under 33 ounces and can be easily balanced in the left hand while inserting a film holder with the right hand. Arca Swiss compatible mounting plate affixed to the bottom of camera. This camera will also come with 3 4x5 holders to get you started. I am asking $300 shipped, thanks!

2023.03.26 00:23 Edeng6 F4A Welcome to Aria! (Fantasy, Adventure)
*It was a rainy,gray sunday morning. Lately you've been thinking about stepping out of your comfort zone Yeah,Screw this work-work balance! You're not built for that!
Maybe a career change? maybe you should finally give it a go -chase your dreams? is that too childish? maybe you should go and study something you love? that's never too late Maybe-
So many thoughts lingered through your mind on that fateful day as you 'unfortunately' stepped on an open manhole and slipped right in Everything turned pitch black as the entrance seemed to grow more distant. Enveloped by darkness, you panicked then realized ...that you've been freefalling for a few minutes now in the void. Just how deep was this hole?
Like out of a fantasy novel - you found yourself suddenly out of that dark hole, surrounded by beautiful bright sky, the view was alot to take in You could see colossal mountains in the distance a forest at the east, A city that's built like something you've never seen before, this clearly wasn't anything modern..and you were falling straight towards it ..! and - uh...two suns?! underground? how is this even possible?
An aura enveloped your body and guided your way safely into the middle of an open ,grassy field. It was an unfamiliar,yet warm feeling . You somehow landed unharmed. As the dust slowly cleared you could hear whispers at the far back, Infront of you she stood - Long silvery hair, mesmerizing blue eyes. Nothing you've ever seen before. then you noticed that there were quite a few others behind her, They all had the same uniform like they attended College together. And you couldn't help but notice - they all had silver hair
"A-A human?! with dark hair?"
Almost everyone were awestruck at your presence,and at the never seen before dark hair colour
Whenever you liked it or not - this was the beginning of your new life, If you wanted to step out of your comfort zone..well....you've did an outstanding job of achieving that.
Hey! Thank you so much for reading! I'm F 22 if it matters :) So if this was a bit confusing I'll clear it up a bit-
You've been thrown Into a new world! filled with magic elements,and in the medieval era, and you've been summoned to be my character's Familliar! Now this is a big event for her because:
1)A Familiar is tied to you forever
2)There's never been a recorded case of a human being summoned- let alone one with such strange features.
In terms of how the story goes from there, I have a basic permise but I'd LOVE to worldbuild with you! I'm not planning to GM, I'd like us both to advance the story,add twists,introduce characters and have a great time together

2023.03.26 00:21 Own_Can_6897 ( F4A ) The Hunger Games Voulez-Vous
And here we go again we know the start we know end,
Masters of the scene.
( Not replacing anyone just have a new itch )
If you’ve been on TikTok recently you’ve come across the recently reignited interest in dystopian literature especially the franchise known as the Hunger Games, now I have not been a fan as long as most, I’ve only recently gotten into the franchise myself but have fallen in love with it and really would like to do an rp focused around the idea of the games, I’m not looking to play as Katniss or any other canon characters, for this we would come up with our own.
Canon characters that would be kept would be Snow, Coin, the game makers, and Caesar flickerman.
Everything would be as it was in the first movie, no rebellion yet, two tributes from every district are called once a year for the hunger games and we would be writing out the events of the 75th Quarter Quell, where the twist is that there may be two victors from any district, any gender. There is also a very big difference in the ages, I don't wanna rp as children so all of our characters would be 18+ ( We would shift the ages of the chosen tributes from 12-18 to 15-20 )
Your character is entirely up to you, district and all! (Except for age, please be 18+ ) I am looking for a romance story so again 18+, but either gender is allowed as I do FxF and MxF pairings ( I play female ).
My character is the female tribute fromDistrict 1, a career named Ophelia who is 19.
Anything can happen, we can have any arena just message me with some of your ideas! Our story would start at the reaping, and continue to the games and past.
I also will not rp with minors as there may be nsfw content such as violence and adult situations. Please be semi literate and semi detailed! A writing example would be nice, I write on discord in the third person and have a timezone of EST, I love the process of character creation and love chatting ooc so please expect that from me. I am in college and work a full time job so my responses will vary depending on the day.
Please do not message me and ask if I am still looking, when messaging me please introduce yourself, your timezone, and your idea for your character.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I look forward to hearing from you.

2023.03.26 00:20 The-StoryTeller- I am sick of being stuck in a hospital with two broken legs and it’s hard to not feel guilty about it
I (M 20) have been in hospital for exactly three months as of today, because I tried to kill myself on Christmas and jumped off my third floor appartment. Somehow I survived without any critical damage to my head or spine, but I lost both ankles and I’ve been stuck in bed since.
I am so sick of being broken like this, I feel like it’s never going to end, I had a surgery on my left leg that’s still really painful after many months and I’m afraid I may have to start all over again on my right leg, I just want this all to stop.
I feel so fucking guilty, I ruined my body and I disappointed my entire family because of some dumbass thoughts and some very VERY insignificant issues now that I look back on it, it’s so ridiculous that I did that, in such a horrible fashion too, I never talked to anyone about my problems, I never dared, and now here I am struggling to sleep because I can’t even turn in bed.
It seems like I’m still stuck for a couple months too, I try to distract myself however I can but it’s really hard not to notice everything that’s wrong, especially when surrounded by the same four awful hospital walls all the time, I just want to be back home man, I want to be back to doing nothing with my life but at least be able to go to the bathroom instead of being a vegetable dammit.
What tortures me the most though is thinking about what’s next, I hate thinking about it and avoid thinking about it most of the time. Things will never be back to the way they were before, I’ll never get my ankles back and walk normally again, and my relationship with my family and friends will never be back to the way it was. Then there’s also studies, I have to go back to med school and somehow get the energy to work again, but I just don’t know if I can. To be fair I don’t know if I can do anything ever again and in a way those doubts make me feel better about being stuck here but it’s still awful and I feel like there is no end to it all. Or that I’ve reached the end of the line already on Christmas last year and I’m just stuck outside now with nowhere to go.
Anyways I’m tired, i don’t know if anyone will read this but it was nice to write this down, have a good day people and please don’t hurt yourselves.

I'm now wiser, and I believe I've checked all the boxes to complete this sale without a hitch.*I am willing to ship first to established users, however, being that I need to raise this money quickly, preference will go to BIN sales. Any items sold this weekend will ship Monday 3.23.23. I will ship in a padded mailer or small box with *insurance provided at no cost to you. **
• I accept, in order of preference: zelle, cashapp, venmo, crypto. Please, no notes! Once I have handed the items to the post office or fedex/UPS, my responsibility for the package ends!

All stones have been tested and appear to be natural, but I have no way to distinguish between natural and synthetic gemstones... I am not a jeweler, nor am I GIA certified.

Thanks for stopping by!2023.03.26 00:17 No-Swordfish-8982 How do I love myself when my family doesn't?
I (F) am turning 30 this year and I still have a lot of trauma that was caused by my family that still affects me to this day and I don't know what to do about it at this point. Although, I'm still figuring things out, I may be part of a narcissistic family but I'm not fully certain. I've been confused about it for years now and I still go back and forth sometimes. I'll try to summarize as best as I can.
I used to be really close with my older brothers (now 37 and 40) when I was a child. I was the youngest sibling until I was 14 when my mother became pregnant with my sister. Prior to my sister being born, we hung out together all the time and they were emotionally supportive as well. They genuinely felt like my big brothers and I spent a lot of time playing video games, watching cartoons, and doing normal sibling stuff that kids did back in the 90s.
Eventually, they joined the military for their own reasons, one of which being to get away from my strict parents. They enlisted at different times and went into different branches of the military. Even at the time, I was around 11 years old and I understood and supported their reasons. My parents' marriage was rocky and it was tough to deal with their dysfunctional relationship. My mother being toxic was also a huge contributing factor.
My mother took out an Amazon credit card in my name when I was 19, maxed it out, made it go 90 days past due. It almost went into collections but my father and I discovered the bill in the mail one day. My father was pissed at my mother but he ended up paying the whole thing in full. Me, being 19, I was afraid of not being able to make it on my own. I was afraid of what the potential consequences of standing up to my mother would bring. I felt like if I stood up to her, she would kick me out and because I had no friends, I would be homeless with no where to go and I would have to drop out of college. Because of that fear, I didn't take legal action against her. Something I still regret not doing.
I found out she did the same thing to my Marine brother and he did not talk to her for almost a year. My mother played the victim at the time and called his girlfriend asking why my brother wasn't speaking to her.
As for my other brother, the Airmen: He met a girl when he was stationed in Utah. We were all raised Catholic but she wasn't and my mother had a problem with that. She intervened so many times to try and get them to have a "normal Catholic marriage" or get the marriage blessed by a priest. My now sister-in-law doesn't speak to any of us, isolates her children from us, and I haven't seen my oldest brother since my Marine brother's wedding. (5 years ago) I text him happy birthday and happy veterans day but two years in a row, he hasn't wish me a happy birthday.
Basically, my mother's actions have caused a rift in our family and I can't move on. I can't accept it. I feel so much anger towards my mother. I feel anger towards my brothers for abandoning me. It's actually poisoning me and turning me into a bitter person. I've tried dealing with it through medication, therapy, self-help books, meditation, yoga, endless research on psychological concepts like the narcissistic family and how to deal with them (Doctor Ramani, Jordan Peterson, etc.), how to love and trust people again, how to be independent and not care what others think, etc. I've spent so much time and money on trying to fix myself. The haunting thoughts of my family not caring about me or not making me a priority in their life at all holds me back from a lot of happiness because it just breaks my heart so much to the point where it distracts me from daily activities and makes me scared to take risks. I'm afraid to trust other people, open up to people, etc.
In terms of my father, we have a pretty decent relationship. He worked overtime to send me to a college prep high school. He was a hydraulics mechanic working out in the cold sometimes during the recession of '08. He showed up to my high school graduation when my mother didn't. He helped me move when no one else did. He's very smart with cars and he still helps me out with mine. He's always been a great Dad and has always been there for me. However, seeing him means seeing my mother.
Idk, I guess I'm just looking for comfort or words of wisdom or maybe someone has been through something similar so I just don't feel so damn alone and unloved anymore.
TLDR: My family trauma still haunts me after all these years and despite seeking professional help, I still feel like I'm on a hamster wheel, mentally.

2023.03.26 00:16 theverywetbanana WB127 Bilingual Display Standardisation Bill Stage 1 Debate
A
BILL
TO
Standardise and simplify the use of informational displays that use bilingual messaging.
be enacted by the Senedd Cymru and having received the assent of His Majesty, it is enacted as follows
Section 1 - Definitions
A bilingual display is a display that is within public viewing that is written in both English and Welsh. Public information shall be defined as information meant to acknowledge the public of a fact, and or statement or issue. A Double Letter shall be fined as a Welsh letter made up of two Latin characters. Special characters shall be defined as letters that do not exist in the English alphabet, those being â, á, ï, î, ë, ê, é, ô, ö, û, ŵ, ŷ.
Section 2 - Text Apparence
All bilingual displays must use the same font in both languages when conveying public information. Fonts can slightly differentiate if they account for the use of double letters. All bilingual displays must use colours of similar eligibility when compared to their corresponding background. Fonts used in a bilingual display must ensure the quality of the special characters match those of all other letters in the text. Both texts should be of the same format in terms of style and boldness and underlining.
Section 3 - Text Location
All bilingual displays must locate Welsh above the English. If placed side by side the English must be placed on the left of the Welsh. Text may also use the format [WELSH WORD] [PLACE] [ENGLISH WORD] if the place name is the same in both languages.
Section 4 - Consistency of Grammar
Bilingual displays must use a consistent Welsh dialect and not switch between them. Unless quoting from another dialect. If the only translation difference is the use of a small hat over a vowel then only one shall be displayed at the choice of the producer. No mutation shall be applied to the first word of the display if the display has the ability to be singled out. If the translation difference is the anglicised version which is less than 3 characters different the Welsh translation shall be used in place of the English with no translation required.
Section 5 - Extent and Short Title
This bill shall extend to all of Wales. This bill shall come into force 6 months after gaining royal assent. This bill may be cited as the Bilingual Display Standardisation Bill.
This bill was written by Dyn-Cymru on behalf of the 16th Welsh Government and Llafur Cymru Welsh Labour.
Opening speech.
Llywydd,
Bilingualism is one of the few things that make Wales as unique from the rest of the United Kingdom. How do I know I'm home in Wales? By the Croeso i Gymru sign just after the Prince of Wales Bridge. It is the signs that display words like Canol y Dref and Caerdydd that then solidify the fact that I am home yng Nghymru.
However bilingualism must be done correctly so as to not cause issues for monolingual speakers. Monmouthshire has been known for their views against the use of the Welsh Language on signage citing that it causes general confusion for drivers and especially emergency workers who are unable to read both languages while driving.
I have done some research however and have maybe found a solution to this problem, bilingualism that is standardised across the nation. As it is currently signage is not standardised against signs that do not come from the same type of road. In fact across the entire nation I selected 35 signs from every part of Wales and found something incredibly interesting. There was almost a 50% chance that the sign would have one language on top of the other. What this means is that when driving down the road there was a chance one sign would have English then Welsh and one that displays Welsh then English. It was more common to see tourists signs to have Welsh on top along with dual carriageways which also tended to have Welsh over English.
However this wasn't always the case, in counties like Monmouthshire and Blaenau Gwent, which are English speaking, tended to have English on the top for dual carriageways. Now this is all somewhat okay until we see the free-for-all which was local town signage. During my research it was clear that signage in towns was entirely inconsistent. In the north there seemed to be some consistency of Welsh on the top with Welshified names taking president over Anglo names (i.e. using the Welsh V (F) in spelling of an English V). But in the South it was odd as some towns would have English, some would have Welsh, some only had English and in one particular sign in Swansea had it so inconsistently I couldn't actually tell you where to go.
This matters because of the drivers of this nation mostly using one language, may it be English or Welsh. I understand the concerns now of the right to these signs but if the signs were consistent then it'd make the process easier to understand while also keeping Wales bilingual. We are also reclaiming our culture of doing what they did for Caernarfon and only use non Anglo names where there is one to two letters difference, reclaiming our culture slowly while also still making it easy for English people to understand. Once enacted it'll make our language easier and to some extent safer to use in a bilingual setting when there's a rush to go somewhere.

2023.03.26 00:16 FiziksMayMays I've been through 4 high end chairs - suggestions for the next one?
Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some suggestions for a chair that suits my needs - I've been searching for the right one for months.
TLDR: I'm 6'2 (~188 cm) and 175 lbs (~80kg). Do you know of any good chairs for this build?
So far I've been through
I'm looking at a Zody II potentially

TLDR: I'm 6'2 (~188 cm) and 175 lbs (~80kg). Do you know of any good chairs for this build?
So far I've been through
- Leap v2. Ordered directly from steelcase. I thought it was good but the padding was fairly thin and it didn't "wow" me for the money.
- Aeron classic size B. Got it refurbished and hated it. Way too small and didn't like the frame of the chair digging in to me.
- Haworth Fern. I like this chair a lot, but ultimately I found the frame dug into my shoulders a bit and the back was almost too curved. Build quality was also not on par with the others for the price.
- Aerom size C direct from HM. I didn't like it, too wife for my body type and just not comfortable imo.
I'm looking at a Zody II potentially
2023.03.26 00:15 Pprdge_Frm_Rmbrs We're Being Followed - [On The Road Challenge]
“Dude…this car is following us.” I checked my rearview after making a sharp, last-minute turn to see if it was still behind…and there it was…rounding the corner.
“You’re being paranoid man, it’s probably not even the same car.” Frank turned in the passenger seat to look out the back window. “Can’t see shit in this rain…you really think it’s the same one?”
“Yea…it’s got a headlight out…and…I dunno, it’s got like a weird shape to it. It’s definitely the same one.”
We left the party just after midnight. Frank was supposed to drive us back to his parent’s in his mom’s SUV, but he’d gotten on a hot streak at the beer-pong table and ended up getting hammered. I really shouldn’t have been driving either, but I did my best to sober-up in the hour before we left. We’d told his parents we were going to a late movie and they typically went to bed early…as long as they found us in bed in the morning, our cover would remain intact.
Shortly after our departure, I noticed the car behind us.
At first, I thought it might be a motorcycle…just a single light bobbing behind us in the distance, but they’d have been insane to be out on a bike in this storm. When a flash of lightning lit the sky, I watched in the mirror and saw that it was a least a car of some sort…possibly an SUV or truck.
Only the driver’s side headlight was lit, and it was flickering…jagged shapes stuck out from it at odd angles…I wondered if maybe they were moving, or hauling furniture or scrap, and had just tied random items down wherever they would fit. Whatever the case, the outline was so unique, there was no mistaking it for another vehicle. It’d been behind us for at least three miles, and we had another couple to go on winding, mountain roads.
And it was inching closer.
“Well fuck man…speed up, let’s lose them!”
“I’m going as fast as I can! It was your idea to take the backroads to avoid cops.”
Closer.
Every time I checked the rearview, it’d gained a few hundred feet…it would be on us soon.
Another flash of lightning…it was near enough now that I could see it was an SUV…and it was mangled. The odd shapes sticking out were twisted metal…how it was still drivable was a mystery to me.
“Fuck! They’re gonna hit us!”
But, just before we were rear-ended…it swerved and pulled up alongside.
Flash…I saw a nightmare. The roof was caved in on the passenger side and there was a body in the seat…just a body…the head was crushed beyond recognition…blood leaked down onto its shirt.
Frank’s shirt.
“Frank! Frank! Fuck, it’s us! Look, it’s your mom’s car! What the fuck?!”
“Jesus Christ dude, look out!”
I’d stopped watching the road…I tried to brake…to cut the wheel…it was too late…we skidded through the guard rail and flipped into the ravine.

2023.03.26 00:12 ThrowRaC0nsiderIt How to talk to my(F19) boyfriend(M30) about doubts and concerns?
I have been having doubts about my relationship with my boyfriend lately. We have been together for about 4/5 months.
We have discovered recently that many of our views and opinions do not line up as much as we originally thought (Views on LGBTQ+ topics, sexism/feminism, body positivity, etc.)
Going into our relationship, I was fully aware that we were very different, but I did not realize just how major it was. Now that I am noticing it, I am worried about our future together. I have found that I am less attracted to him due to some of his views because I find some of them to be slightly offensive. Also, I want to have children someday and I worry about how we would raise them with such different beliefs.
We have some other issues as well. If this was our only problem I would think we could find a way to work through it. But the different views and beliefs paired with some of our other issues has me doubting.
However, any time I have tried talking to him about these things, we somehow end up deciding to just not think about it anymore. I think this is because we always end up getting rather heated. If we need to break up, I don’t want it to end in flames with both of us angry at each other. But if I can’t talk to him calmly about this, I fear that is what will happen.
How can I calmly and respectfully discuss these issues and my doubt with my boyfriend? Any advice at all would be appreciated.
TLDR: Don’t know how to talk to boyfriend about my doubts and concerns, especially concerning our differing views and opinions.

We have discovered recently that many of our views and opinions do not line up as much as we originally thought (Views on LGBTQ+ topics, sexism/feminism, body positivity, etc.)
Going into our relationship, I was fully aware that we were very different, but I did not realize just how major it was. Now that I am noticing it, I am worried about our future together.
