‘undefined’ is such a mood.

Hey, thank you for replying.

I agree that it’s faulty to think nobody cares, and I do have some who do care about me.

However, ~75% - 95% of individuals I’ve encountered have either ignored my dire circumstances, or even actively gone out of their way to invest their time, money, energy, etc. to harm me.

I pay a ‘grocery tax’ because other self-destructive shoppers at specific stores will ram their carts into me, take pictures of me, etc. I have to either order delivery, or shop at more expensive stores where I haven’t experienced this extreme conduct.

I once had a bicycling accident where I had a head-on collision with another bicyclist who another bicyclist accompanied, and I had to do a safety scan of my surroundings and run away immediately since I had no way of knowing if the accompanied bicyclist would get irrationally violent and attack me. The bicyclist I accidentally hit had no safety gear while I did, and they probably died from hitting me head-on - they were unconscious on the ground. I had no way of knowing who they have r*ped, murdered, punched, shot with a gun, stabbed with a knife, fired, slashed tires of, gaslit, etc.

I’ve since moved out to a safer area, but I still pay a ‘grocery tax’. I tried shopping at more affordable grocery stores, and then the same incident happened, so I stole some food as reparations and left a negative review on the place. I’ve learned that Google Maps will delete negative reviews while Yelp is more representative of the unhinged nonsense that happens, and that store was around 2.5 - 3 stars. The only other 4+ star store I could find was more expensive, and it honestly sucks that I have no other choice.

And don’t get me wrong - I am trained in self-defense. I know evidence-based self-defense and used it earlier with the bicycling accident to keep myself safe. My issue isn’t keeping myself safe - my issue is that I just want to get through the fucking day without anyone self-destructing on me. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. But they won’t leave me alone.

I’m out of time. Will revise this later. Realized I left our suspicious details of the bicyclists.

I’m glad Buproprion has few side effects from this chart.

However, for those considering it, here’s some missing side effects:

1. Can increase libido. (A lot.)
2. Can reduce weight. (A lot.)
3. Can reduce your appetite/eating. (A lot.)

I’m not saying these are pros or cons. Each person should assess how these side effects will affect their own situation.

Thank you. I was hard on myself, but the course was upfront that the exams would be challenging on purpose.

My understanding is that the grades are curved. I still feel bummed about the questions I missed, but from what I’ve heard from my classmates, I probably did relatively better even though I felt like I fell short.

The stuff I’m working on is too important for me to make mistakes, so I am especially hard on myself. I often feel like I’m the only one solving the problems that I am.

Thank you. It’s been rough, but she’s finally back home.

She lived 18 years, despite a heart birth defect. Most cats don’t even live that long.

Doing okay.

Just picked up my cat’s ashes today, but also ate some pizza with my bf.

I did okay on my midterms. Got an 85%.

So this is the manual that the bad tech support lines use. 😭

Posted! I’ll finish updating this with more resources by next week: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/23037245

Thank you for letting me know about communitypromo! I’ll check it out.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. 🥺 If you know of any evidence-based mental health resources, I’ll create a post of them.

Hey! I personally have C-PTSD. The reason for mine is a bit personal, but I’m sure I can offer some support and advice if you need any.

My community is more general purpose, but C-PTSD evidence-based resources (such as scientific positive psychology research on resilience, mindfulness, etc.) is literally the top thing in my to-do list.

Expect a C-PTSD resources post within 24 hours from now in !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone

And of course, if you post a specific question, I’ll answer it there as well. It’s still a new community, so please share it with everyone you know!
