    Living with Grandmother With Alzheimer's

    Well, for starters, I guess to give an idea on how advanced it is I'd say she has the mind of a child. Yknow, temper tantrums and the like. Cussing and breaking things. She hasn't hit me in a loooong while, but there's honestly no predicting what she'd do. She's put her hands around my neck...

    Speaking on it: Does it really help?

    That's interesting. It'd be neat to see some of your pieces, speaking from a fellow artist's perspective. I laugh at some of the dumbest stuff, no clue as to why. Maybe it's because it's something stupid? Who knows. I think running when I'm really upset or numb usually helps, but I'm conflicted...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    Maybe I'll stick around, I dunno. It's nice talking to someone else for a change though, that's for sure. Goodnight!

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    Yeah, I guess. Though, to be fair, people who are considered normal will sometimes look down on those with people with mental illnesses. At least, where I live. I live in a poor part of the U.S. where education is underdeveloped and people are less understanding and accepting. People here...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    Nah, you're cool. I haven't had a real conversation in who knows how long, I don't remember. It's just difficult to understand "normal people," because to me, they all act almost exactly the same They're almost identical. Predictable. I can't stand it, it's boring and fake. I guess it bothers...

    Worst Therapist Experience?

    I once had a therapist that would stir up drama between me and my mom, encourage negative behavior, and constantly talked about herself. I remember in middle school, she sent me to a really bad state mental hospital that was meant for children with bad behavior, not mental illness. They ended up...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    I think it's because, for me, those things would be relatively easy to deal with. One of my favorite things to do in public while my abusers are around is to "hang out dirty laundry." If you weren't doing anything wrong, why are you ashamed? You should be proud! But when it comes to me, and...

    Living with Grandmother With Alzheimer's

    So.... My grandmother has Alzheimer's. Runs in the family. Yes, she's hit me. Wouldn't dare try it now that I've regained my lost strength. She still slings those select words though. And tries to get me to kill myself. Yknow, she used to tell me my depression was fake. Until she self...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    A comment on the heat is fine, but constant complaining and expecting me to somehow dim the sun is.... well... Yeah, sure, I guess that's kinda understandable. I haven't had experience with any of that, though. Guess that's what makes it hard to relate to lol. More of a "keep it to myself...

    Anniversary of failed attempt

    I kinda just view it as, "If I weren't such a hardhead with a stubborn will to live for no other reason but to just exist, I wouldn't be here today." Labor Day is an anniversary date of one of my attempts that sticks out to me the most. My Grandmother, who I cared a lot for at the time, had...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    Yeah, exactly. Sometimes though, I can't help when I put on the facade. It feels like I'm watching someone else control my body. But when I'm alone, in my room, thinking to myself, I can finally see and think crystal clear. I think part of the reason people complaining so much bothers me is...

    Speaking on it: Does it really help?

    Is it considered venting, or is it considered trying to understand yourself and people that relate? My great uncle, who was a POW in WW2, says PTSD groups help. I've spoken about it with other people before, so I'll mention it here: I'm dead. I've been dead for a while. I don't know why...

    Any one else experienced being baited as part of abuse

    Yeah, I'd always hate waiting for the punchline. My favorite line would be "If you go out I'll kill myself." Don't worry though, he could still see his friends! I just couldn't see what little friends I had left. Or he'd kill himself, so he said. Either way, ditch the people that aren't about...

    Sufferer Trouble understanding people

    Yeah, I get you. What I mean is like, upper class entitled people crying and complaining because they didn't get their way. It really puts me in a spot that's hard to budge from for a while. Like people that haven't struggled a day in their life; people that act like they've had a tough life...

    Mental health stigma

    The people that think it's trendy and cool get all the attention, while the people actually suffering get told to suck it up. Been there, done that, almost hit one of those "trendy" people. It's not an aesthetic.
