I like both Nonbinary She/They Peril and Mtf She/Her Peril

They're both such good concepts

She's a lesbian, Harold

She only had a crush on Clay bc he was pretty much everything she was supposed to like in a guy

Gimme a moment while I force all my mental disorders onto this poor child

Autistic, Anxiety (Social anxiety, mainly, but she has most types), Adhd, PTSD

I'd like to reiterate yet again that She's a lesbian

Sunny and Glory were her gay awakening

Peril in Book 1: Damn, Sunny and Glory sure are pretty. Anyone would be lucky to date them. Clay would probably go for them over me. He would be stupid if he didn't. I myself would willingly date them over someone like me. They're just so pretty :(

Peril waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of arc 2: WAIT-

Rarepair alert but Peril/Sora

Peril meeting Sora: "Hmmm She's attractive. I would love to date her. Too bad I'm straight and in love with her brother lmao :P"

Peril, a mere month later, waiting for Ruby to leave Jade Mountain, pacing in her cave, running face first into a wall: WAIT-

I remember reading this one amazing story where Sora taught Peril to read/write and Peril found out she set off the bomb and comforted her/convinced her her run so that's canon now

Btw if anyone can remember what that story was called/what platform it was on and could tell me I'd appreciate it very much

I'd even be willing to draw a character of your's or make you an icon or something

I usually don't accept requests bc I get burnt out easy but this is a special case

She runs into Sora again sometime between the beginning of TOP and the end

I like to imagine she just goes wandering around

Anyway she confesses like a mere few minutes after running into her again bc Peril is just subtle like that

The actual confession takes 15 minutes and the entire time Sora is just sitting here like "👁👄👁 sure"

Bam Peril/Sora

Peril plans to keep it a secret for a little while longer but she spends 3 seconds around Clay and pretty much blurts it out

Clay, who wasn't even aware that Peril was a lesbian, is just "👁👄👁"

I wanna say Clay doesn't know what a lesbian is but in my canon Sunny is a lesbian so Starflight has already told him

Anyway he's super supportive

From that point Peril is sorta open about her sexuality?

Like, she gives Clay permission to tell the rest of the D.O.D bc she isn't about to risk being in front of them when they hear the news

(When Sunny starts actively seeking her out as a hang out buddy and Tsunami, Glory, and Starflight appear to tolerate her presence just a bit more afterwards she pretends she isn't confused by the change)

She's pink, white, and blue bc I said so

If you look at a certain angle in the right lighting her eyes, mouth, fire, and under her scales all look purple

But her fire is normally white and blue bc I said so

Also she pale as fuck bc in my canon their fire just sorta burns their colour away

You know how you leave something outside for too long and it gets sunbleached? Where it gets all washed out?

Like that but more extreme

By the age of 10-12 firescale dragons are just white with pale eyes

That's right not even the eyes are safe

Ram horns :P

I'm also fond of Peril/Sunny

Or maybe Peril/Sora/Sunny

But Peril/Sora is the main thing

On the topic of that bringing in my hc that if one sib in a sib group is fire resistant all of them are

She,,, She can change her scale colour

But only slightly and only if her emotions are strong enough

Bc I don't give a fuck about Darkstalker's scroll we were robbed of hybrid Peril

Unfortunately all of Peril's emotions are strong

Rainwing ruff along her head and neck

It's like a hood

It's mainly smoothed to her sides but when she's startled it flares out

RAINWING PUPILS

Y'all will know what those look like as soon as I get off my ass :P

She,,, She can mimic bird cries

Hates the summer

She has more than enough body heat already and the outside is just hot enough to add on and make her feel sick

She can somewhat control her heat but most of the time it's based on her emotions

It can go from standing-in-the-middle-of-a-burning-building-cant-see-your-nose-smoke-is-so-thick heat (Strong emotion) to Hey-thats-a-nice-cozy-campfire heat (Calm/"weak" emotion/Sleeping)

I'm just gonna make a different post with all my Peril hcs cuz there isnt enough room for all of them here

Lars and The Real Girl

This is my first post and most likely going to be the farthest off the beaten path that I will go, but this movie occupies a large part of my brain so I feel the need to write about to an audience of zero. As my bio suggests, I also plan to talk about films where women are props for the male characters development. Lars and The Real Girl has a literal prop woman to assist in the lead character, Lars’ development. Lars, played by Ryan Gosling, is a man with quirks that make it difficult for him to interact even with his family who live across the driveway from him. Lars’ mother died while delivering him and his father passed a few years before the film takes place. His brother, Gus played by Paul Schneider, and pregnant wife, Karin played by Emily Mortimer, live in their childhood home while Lars occupies the garage. Karin desperatly hopes for Lars to interact more with his family, frustrating and testing Lars’ boundaries, but she is pleasantly surprised when Lars comes knocking notifying that a woman is coming over for dinner. Karin and Gus are then greeted by Bianca, the life-size sex doll Lars is convinced is his girlfriend visiting from Brazil.

Bianca is quite literally a tool for Lars to use to develop and let go of some of his past trauma. However, unlike in most movies, I really don’t mind. Although I could go on and on about how Lars and The Real Girl is the greatest depiction of empathy in film... I will hold my tongue to discuss how women, in particular motherhood, play a major hidden role in this movie.

Lars, until his brothers marriage to Karin, lacks female representation in his life. Not only does his life lack female representation but he suffers trauma from feeling responsible for his mothers passing. It is also divulged that after the passing of his mother, Lars and Gus’ father grew cold and bitter. It is no mistake then that when we are introduced to Karin, someone that actively attempts to take a caregiving role in Lars’ life, she is visibly pregnant. Lars from the very first moments displays deep concern that something may happen to Karin while she is pregnant, immediately showing his fear surrounding the concept of maternity. Bianca comforts this fear in more ways than one. Lars explains to Biancas physician, and his therapist, Dr. Dagmar that Bianca is infertile as a result of her mother dying in labor. Identicall to his mothers passing. While explaining this fact to Dr. Dagmar he expresses his deep anxiety surrounding Karins pregnancy. In addition, Lars notes that Bianca is very religious and does not feel comfortable sharing a bed with him, which is why she lives at Gus and Karin’s. Although Bianca is made for sex, in his delusion, Lars makes a concious decision to seperate Bianca entirely from sex and maternity. Bianca’s manifestation at that current time could largely be attribruted to Karin’s pregnacy and its trigger of Lars’ trauma and guilt surrounding his mothers death. Bianca served as a female figure in his life that is completely safe from the dangers he connotates with womanhood.

Biancas manifestion, whether intentional or not, creates a large female support system for Lars. While everyone at his job and church are supportive of Lars’, it is the women of his community that play the largest role in allowing Lars to let go of Bianca. Mrs. Peterson from Lars’ church, played by Nicky Guadagni, is one of his largest pillars of support. Much like Karin, even prior to Bianca, Mrs. Peterson attempted to force Lars out of his social isolation by suggesting that he asks his coworker, Margot, on a date. When Lars brings Bianca into his life, she not only advocates to the other members of the church to be patient and non-judgemental of Lars but goes as far as bringing Bianca to her volunteering position at the hospital. Mrs. Peterson is influential making sure Bianca is given a purpose. With the assistance of other women in the community, Bianca is a mannequin at the mall, a reader to children, and a model of wigs at the hair salon. While this may appear to only serve in making Lars’ delusion more realistic, Bianca being given purpose within the town makes her more 3-dimensional to Lars allowing him to seperate from his crutch. If Bianca were to remain a 2-dimensional symbol of a woman that does not possess the parts of womanhood that terrify him, Lars would would of never been able to develop a positive relationship with maternity and women in general. This newfound positive relationship can also be fed by his new network of female friends who care for him deeply.

Dr. Dagmar, played by Patricia Clarkson, also plays a major role in assisting Lars through his trauma. Lars only agrees to see Dr. Dagmar because she suggests that she monitors Bianca’s blood pressure on a weekly basis, but I would argue he is also fully concious that the purpose of the visits are to evaluate him. Dr. Dagmar firsts suggests that she helps Lars through his phobia surrounding being physically touched, but he quickly displays some willingness to open up about his past and his anxieties surrounding Karin’s pregnancy. Most of this visits consist of him sitting one on one with Dr. Dagmar in her office, an emotional intamacy that Lars has most likely never experienced with anyone, let alone a woman. Beyond being a influential woman in his life, she also radically shifts his perspective on loneliness. In one of his meetings, Lars learns that Dr. Dagmar lost her husband and that sometime she feels so lonely she “forgets how to spell her name.” I believe this detail is crucial in Lars’ development as he has a particularly negative relationship with lonliness. Growing up his father was so lonely that it largely left him unable to care for Lars. Lars also experiences intense lonliness himself. Dr. Dagmar demonstrates to Lars that you can coexist with lonliness instead of it allowing to consume your whole being, allowing him to begin to let go of Bianca.

The most important female relationship for Lars is of course Karin. Although she is a large source of Lars’ anxiety manifesting in the form of Bianca, Karin is the most influential in reforming his relationship with womanhood and maternity . Lars has never had a maternal figure, and although she is his sister in-law, Karin takes on a role of a caregiver in his life. When introduced to Bianca, Gus heavily with the concept of playing into Lars’ delusion but Karin makes it a non-negotiable. She leads the charge in rounding up support for Lars and goes above and beyond to make her apart of the family. Karin has an ability to set aside pride and time to help Lars in any possible way, an ability we often associate with mothers. While Lars is cognizant that his presence makes Gus uncomfortable, Karin makes up for it in love and comfort. One particular scene stands out where Lars is visibility frustrated because he is under the impression that people care more for Bianca than they do for him. When Lars claims that people do not care, Karin goes on a passionate rant that she ends with “None of this is easy-for any of us- but we do it... Oh! We do it for you! So don’t dare tell me how we don’t care.” Lars most likely has never experienced such an exclamation of love and compassion coming from someone in is family, and the fact it is coming from the closest thing he has to a maternal figure heavily moves him along in his journey of coping with his mothers death. This interaction marks a turning point in the film where we see Lars begin to truly let go of Bianca, ultimately leading to the moment he declares that Bianca has passed.

Lars and The Real Girl is a beautiful look on the innately human ability to possess empathy for others and ourselves, no matter how uncomfortable it is. In a sense, I have always seen Lars’ manifestation of Bianca was an act of self-compassion. I believe his brain created her with the intention of letting her go, and moving past his trauma. While I find this movie beautiful in countless ways, writing about from a lens of womanhood and maternity only deepens my love for it more. While the “female” centered at the heart of the movie is in fact an object, there is not an ounce of female objectification in this film.

Change

(I’m back in the Queen fandom after a break. There’s no escape 😂😅 this is based on something that happened to me. Gotta get it outta my system now..)

No. No no no.

No.

This is wrong. Yes. Wrong. Exactly.

This nice lady. Such a nice lady, only coming around here to help him out. Help clear up the mess. And this is how he repays her?

The table. The cushions on the couch. He can’t get them out of his head.

The book on the coffee table.

The remote control. On the couch table. To the left. Not the right. And seperated from its buddy, the remote for the DVD player.

Everything is a mess. Not his physical surroundings, but inside his head. The cleaning lady - normally shows up on Wednesdays, and today was a Thursday and she had been here today, but that was okay, that was all right, he could live with that, she had told him last time, she had said ‘Brian, next time will be on Thursday.’ At the same time, on a different day. 2 o’clock in the afternoon. He was cool with that. He accepted that.

Once.

She was always nice to him. Treated his belongings with care and respect.

But today. What was different about today?

Brian had a rehearsal with the band today. But he couldn’t concentrate. Couldn’t get those thoughts out of his head.

The book was lying with the back cover up. The cushions were all placed on the same side of the couch. He always had two cushions to the right. And two to the left.

He hadn’t said thank you or goodbye to the cleaning lady.

She had vacuumed the floors. Wiped away dust. Emptied his dishwasher. Watered those plants above the bed he always forgot about.

And he had almost slammed the door on his way out. She was still finishing up when he had to leave for rehearsal.

Now, sitting with his guitar, he felt no joy.

Wasn’t able to concentrate on the chords. He only had one thing on his mind. Getting home. And rearranging everything back to their right spots.

None of the band members got much work done. Freddie and Deaky snapped at him a couple of times. Roger seemed to sense that today was an anxious day and tried calmly to settle anything that might end up in an argument if continued.

When he finally left (a little before time) he could hardly keep back the tears.

He felt pathetic. Being a gifted guitarist in a famous band. And all he could think about for the past two hours was his couch cushions and turning a book back to its rightful place.

Home again. He knew it was good to resist. His therapist said it’s best fought with action against his thoughts. But he couldn’t. He had to.

He quickly placed the cushions right. Placed the two remotes together. On the right side. Flipped the book.

Paced back and forth once. Twice. Thrice.

Sat on the couch. Flattened the cushions to the left.

A tear fell down his cheek. A text on his phone.

“We’ll talk later, right?” From Roger.

But first he had to do something. He had to apologise. To his cleaning lady.

He was thankful for her work. He really was. It’s just - sometimes he gets thoughts. Thoughts that won’t leave him. For an entire day if he doesn’t act on them. Doesn’t put the pen back with the pointy bit up. Doesn’t lay his phone with the camera facing away from him.

It wasn’t her fault. She didn’t deserve him looking sour and leaving without a thank you. He always said thank you to her. Thank you and goodbye. And she’d say ‘have a nice day, Brian.’

He looked through the contacts on his phone.

Anne - Cleaning.

Dial.

“Hello?”

Welcome back! This was lovely in a sad way. Poor Brian :( Thank you for submitting this!

#submission #ocd!brian #autistic!brian #guggi04 #Brian

I'm working on this story and wanted your opinion. One of my characters is tortured and about to die when he is saved. My worry is that in order to save him, another character is going to use a forbidden magic to heal him. He will still have all the memories and I plan on showing the mental toll, but is it an issue that he will physically be fine and not go through healing? It's a big component of my story that the character who saves him gets in trouble for using the forbidden magic. Thanks!

PersonallyI don't see an issue with having a character make a full physicalrecovery when that would have been impossible in a realistic world.It's a fantasy story and that healing is clearly magic based so Idon't think it's going to create any sort of unrealistic expectationin readers about what people can survive. You're also making it veryclear that the character would have died without intervention. Thefact this is 'forbidden' and a character breaks that taboo serves tounderline the seriousness of the situation.

Thereare a few things that come to mind if this is something you want todo but I don't think they're problems so much as… things that wouldprobably help you get a better grasp of how this situation might workand the kind of effect it might have on the characters.

Mostpeople globally expect torture to lead to scars. And the implicationin this ask is that torture here was scarring. That it was obvious.That prior to healing anyone could have glanced at the survivorcharacter and been able to tell he was attacked.

Thething is- most modern torture doesn't leave obvious lasting marks. Irefer to this as 'clean' torture (this is the term Rejali uses).And because of the assumptions people have, that torture 'should' or'must' leave scars, well it can result in a lot of problems fortorture survivors.

Oneof the main problems they face is people questioning whethersurvivors were tortured at all. The lack of obvious marks on theirbodies is taken as a sort of 'proof' that torture couldn't haveoccurred. They're subjected to a level of scrutiny and victim-blamingthat survivors with scars don't really face as often. Common patternsinclude accusations that the survivor is making things up, thataccusations are motivated by politics, that 'something' happened butit wasn't as bad as the survivor says or wasn't 'really torture'.

Survivorswithout scars, the vast majority of torture survivors today, areasked to 'prove' what happened to them with reference to marks ontheir bodies that simply don't exist.

There'ssomehow an assumption that a lack of external scarring means anattack was less damaging, less painful and…. less of a crime.

Allof which seems pretty relevant to this question.

Theway this is constructed means that the survivors character wouldprobably find it a lot more difficult to talk to people generallyabout what happened to him. It would likely be more difficult for himto access the support he needs.

Thehealer saved his life, but they've also put him in a very difficultposition. He can't talk about what he experienced to most people inan open honest way. The wounds he'd describe 'should' have killedhim, combined with a lack of scarring that would make many peopledoubt his story. And he can't explain that lack of scarring withoutadmitting that the healer, who saved him, did something taboo. So thecharacter is left with a choice where talking openly means punishingthe person who saved his life.

That'sa pretty big burden to carry. And if this setting has any sort ofofficial care (therapists, centres or charities designed to helpsurvivors) it might well cut him off from accessing them. Most of thepeople on the ground interacting with survivors wouldn't turn someoneaway because of a lack of scarring, but groups that rely ongovernment funding (or the funding of any other big institution) aresometimes left in a position where survivors are blocked from accessuntil their case is 'proven'.

Beyondthat I think the main thing here is to make sure you do show thischaracter's psychological symptoms, otherwise you could end upinadvertently supporting the idea that this attack was 'lessharmful'.

I'vegot a list of the most common symptoms here and I tend torecommend authors choose 3-5 symptoms for survivors.

Someof these symptoms are effected by physical injuries. For instancechronic pain can have a physical cause or component and substanceaddiction or insomnia can occur in response to chronic pain. Chronicpain in survivors can also be entirely psychological, or have aphysical component unrelated to injuries. When you're pickingsymptoms for your character you might want to think about how farthis healing magic goes: is it addressing all injuries or just theones that the healer is aware of? It could heal all the obvious, lifethreatening injuries and still leave enough 'minor' muscle damage tocause chronic pain.

Nothingon the list springs out to me particularly as adding to the story youwant to tell. I tend to suggest authors pick symptoms based on whatthey think will add to the story. Symptoms that create opportunitiesto show the readers something about the character or createinteresting obstacles in the plot or just tie in with the generalthemes of the story.

Memoryproblems in torture survivors don't generally mean that they forgetthey were tortured. Instead you get four general classes of memoryproblem; a sort of general forgetfulness or difficulty retaininginformation which can make every day life incredibly difficult,intrusive memories which are like being very strongly reminded ofbeing tortured constantly by innocent every day events, falsememories which are generally flaws in memories surrounding trauma andmemory loss.

Falsememories aren't completely imagined or completely seperated fromreality. What they tend to be like instead is- say your character wastortured over six days in a particular room. The character mightclearly remember that the door was on the left side of the room, whenin fact it's on the right. They might clearly remember say- thetorturer with the big beard doing something on the first day. When infact that torturer didn't show up until day three. These memoryproblems don't generally have a massive effect on a survivor'sability to live every day, but they do have a massive effect on legalproceedings. The fact that these problems are so common makes tortureincredibly hard to prove. Even without systematic legal investigationthese problems can make people around the survivor doubt thesurvivor's version of events. And that can be incredibly damaging forthe survivor.

Memoryloss caused by torture is quite a long way from the typical saturdaymorning cartoon amnesia that usually gets connected with the idea.The majority of torture survivors don't forget being tortured, infact intrusive memories of torture seem to be more common thenforgetting it. They also don't forget who they are or people they'reextremely close to. As a general rule the older the memory the'safer' it is from the damage torture inflicts. So survivors don'tforget their childhoods, families or the spouse they've been marriedto for ten years. They do forget more recent memories. So if thischaracter was snatched off the street it would be perfectlybelievable that he'd forget what street he was on when he wassnatched, or where he was going that night. Anything in the two orthree weeks prior to torture and the same period afterwards couldrealistically vanish.

Now,memory problems might still not be a good fit for your story, that'sperfectly fine. But if you were imagining that they meant thecharacter would forget about being tortured, or vital aspects of hispast, that's highly unlikely. You can still include memory problemsin your story, if you want to.

Ihope that helps. :)

I think I’m sadistic, but only to myself.

So much torture, its like watching a terrifying movie when you’re young, or something that makes you uncomfortable, you cover your eyes with your hands leaving just enough space between a few fingers to still see every bit of whats going on.

I’m having that anxiety again, like when you first died. I have the adrenaline, to get me through the day, and I have things I can enjoy, I can get excited, but it is so much work, and at the end of the day I come here and I melt all over my keyboard.

So I open my old journal, the private compulsive blog, because this was around when gus was, when we met, when we took off together, when he moved to be with me and I thought it was only going to be a summer thing, when we skinny dipped, when we got addicted to noids, when we had lots of morning sex before my classes, when we took walks by rocks and stayed with each other for 4 days at a time, which was the usual, never wanting to part, addictive, addicts in love and not for the best. I stil feel so much like I ruined everything, like I really failed.

I slip into delusions of taking this to the extreme, even though I know he did this, and he did love me, but I am so involved I get so confused and I have to repeatedly do this over and over again, and then I get really crazy and I Start reading things and its so fucking fresh, its like everything comes back. The memories never leave, but you store them elsewhere, I wouldn’t have thought back to this day we were in the car and we had this green bong and that image I just... its so clear.

The bed sheets on my bed are so clear, rolling around and watching british television shows. I forgot about spending 4 days at a time with him, I forgot how hard it was to seperate at times, but I read this and I fucking crumble over and over again.

In time it will get further away, in time I wnot think of him 24/7 and I can smile at his photos and I like talking about him. He DID exist, as if I have to now prove that he did, as if I have to remind people I am like this thanks to GUS that he made the biggest impact on my life, between 19-24.. and now for the rest of my life.

You didn’t come to the show tonight gus, I told you your mom needed you to come. but you didn’t come, I watched other people find their loved ones and it was so spot on, there was someone else who commited suicide and they said to their loved ones they were okay.

I don’t want this to be true. I’m screaming inside but all I can do is type type type. I can not communicate with my words, and its funny when a proffessor says, you have very confident writing and im like lol if only you knew its because I have thousands of pages of insanity.

I can not blame you because you’re gone and I only have my side, our side, and it gets so bad, so out of control, and I know you dictated it but I let it spiral out because I didn’t understand what was going on, I did in some ways but not the right ways and I didn’t respond right.. I do believe there was a right. I do believe you could...,

I can’t even imagine like if you were still alive, to think of unwinding the last three months of my life which have been a fucking spiraling nightmare, there are moments of real ... empowerment? its the liberation that comes from so much pain because you refuse to let it consume you, if thats the route I go, then I kill myself, because that is no way to live. I live with this pain and I bring gus with me. Gus’s mom said how much better I seeemed to be doing, as in not doing the same questions sam thoughts of blame, I have my days, every day, but not the whole day so there is progress.

I think of death often, which isn’t that odd, I haven’t since we got together again, but the time apart was not good, at this point traumatic, just like this is.

So. Much.

Gus deleted a year of my blog when I ran the other way. He deleted it as if he could just delete himself from my life. This was so hurtful. We spent a lot of that time together and also the time I spent at my other school which was the best time for me, and that was with gus, and this time too and was with gus, its like it’s always hard but he always praised me for who I was, and that helped me be the person I can be, and want to be. I felt like he could read my mind sometimes. I felt such an attachment, I Felt so lucky, to melt when I see him. It was chaotic and hellish but I can be my best too. I don’t understand. I never will. Then I turn to what my therapist says in her culture they call these people the gift of chaos.

I just wish it didn’t have to end, and not like this.

all the times you drove down winding roads drunk, even tripping!!!

how did we get here, its, again, like one small thing could have resulted so differently and yet it didn’t, it was preventable, and I didn’t and couldn’t prevent it. I could have seen you the day before, I wanted to, we misunderstood each other, but I realize how distant my texts can sound so I understand the confusion but I felt so pure about it. I’m so broken about this.

I think of dying so I can be with you, its not uncommon to do this, but its not just about being with you because part of me also thinks thats not gauranteed, I mean an after life isn’t at all, which would be okay too, because then its just nothingness which really doesn’t even exist not conceptually or physically... so not in the body I know.

I just think of how at peace they say you are, and the dreams I had you were so happy and they were not like my other dreams, not like any I’ve ever had, and to make the extra effort of telling me it was real.. I just

what is this

I need you to tell me not to join you. I feel like when your mom dies, I will go too. I can’t do anything while she is alive. We are broken. I wish she knew what her acceptance means to me. I wish she knew.

how do I get through this. What kind of life is this. I just keep going day by day like I really understand what that means, and my days feel like they don’t end and then I wake up disapointed I didn’t get another visit. I reach my arms over, I read the fucking posts about how you could hold me all night

I forgot you did that, for some reason I remembered you as not being that way, I don’t sleep well, or still so I just didn’t remember that.. but there it is, clear as can be.

It takes me back to who we were. To how much changed in just 3...4.... years. the growth, the period of depression which is really like this void I don’t even like to think about. I will have to sort through and accept that part. to understand its value but I can’t do it right now.

I’m rambling now because sleep is scary, and I don’t have it in me to work.

In honour of both Mental Health Month (US) and Mental Health Awareness week (UK), I decided to give back to both my lovely followers and the Simblr community as a whole by sharing parts of my own story surrounding mental health issues. I hope some insight into my struggles, dark thoughts and pain can help someone else through their hardships, even if it is just a little bit.

Content warnings for suicide mentions, mentions of abuse, PTSD, depression, alcohol, anxiety, panic attacks, other mental health-related issues and death of a parent.

In hindsight, now that I am a 24 year old adult, a lot of things about my life make sense. Not in a good way, I’m sad to say, but they do. I cried a lot as a baby. As a toddler, I would be months ahead of my peers, have conversations with adults, but be extremely sensitive to the point where I would dissolve into complete hysterics if I wasn’t given proper time to recharge. Throughout my whole school career, including high school, I was always sick at least one day out of five. Headaches, migraines, cramping, terrible anxiety that kept me up at night.

The first psychiatrist I saw was when I was 12. I lived in a complicated household where I was the only one that was being abused, as the oldest of three children. My dad would hit me for reasons that are still unclear to this day, sometimes so bad that on a few seperate occassions blood was drawn or I was locked up in the bathroom with a throbbing, blue arm. It was strange, since my dad was a very nice man. He loved me, and my siblings, and my mother, and his friends, and his co-workers. He would snap, sometimes, seemingly out of nowhere. We will never know why and how, and why I was the only one taking the beatings, but it happened. I was suicidal to the point where I would grab all of the sharp kitchen knives and hide them in my room. I tried drowning myself in the bath tub, or tried to calculate if I were to die if I jumped out of my bedroom window. I remember feeling so terribly empty that I would hide underneath my desk in my room, and cry for hours. I was diagnosed with depression, sent home, and that was that for years.

Then my dad died when I was 17, a month before I would turn 18. It went so ridiculously fast that I would have dreams about him returning home, even if I knew that he was dead. He was ill for hardly 4 weeks before he passed away, and I couldn’t feel. It put a whole lot of perspective into my life. I was about to graduate that same year, and go to university. I didn’t want to. Art has always been a passion for me. I was numb, but I knew I wanted to go to art school.

I didn’t even make it to the start of the first year before I was sent off to a psychiatrist again. I was angry, sad, but most of all angry - I felt misunderstood by my family, and I would have fights with my mother and sister so bad that I tried to suffocate myself with blankets once in my room. I was diagnosed with dysthymia, a condition that can be described as ‘chronic depression’. Therapy helped a bit, and I started art school.

Art school was tough. Especially the first year, where I wanted to perform well so badly that I never missed a day of class, which is highly unusual for me. The second year started, and I could tell something was horribly wrong right away. I would sit on the train to school, and hear sirens. I would see flashes, get migraines, hear screaming or loud buzzing in my ears. I would come home hysterically crying to my mother, wishing the extreme panic would go away. It was too much, but I didn’t listen to my own body. I would take some pain killers, tough it out, and walk to the train station all the same the next day. Looking back, I lost complete control over myself and who I was, as if held at gunpoint by a giant monster named panic. I remember being so anxious about getting on that train, getting to school, doing what I had to do, that I thought I could outrun a train that was coming. The beams had already closed and both the lights and bells were sounding, signaling the train was coming at a high speed. ‘I can make it’, I thought, and I didn’t really care. I had to be on time to catch my own train. I slipped underneath the beams, and without looking I tried to cross the railway. Someone yelled at me to stop. I startled so bad that I stopped walking, and the train passed by maybe only a few paces away from me. I was shaken for the rest of the day, and by the time I came home, I realised what had happened and I cried. Scared to tell anyone, scared that my head could get so far ahead without me and do something so dangerous.

Things didn’t start looking up for me. I had to take time off from school. I missed a lot of classes and disappointed a lot of classmates who I was working with in groups. I tried to do whatever I could, but I couldn’t make myself go to school every single day, no matter how hard I tried. It felt like I was tied to the floor of my house, as if shackles prevented me from going anywhere I wanted. I felt so tired - even to this day, I feel tired, as if my arms and legs are too heavy for my body. I was given medication. It took me a long time to get used to the pills, and even after that, when things became a little bit better, things were still not looking great. I did a lot of tests, and another diagnosis was made. PDNOS, cluster A & C. The diagnosis itself didn’t change much, but it put a whole lot into perspective.

I had to drop out of school. I felt worthless, disgusting, and absolutely useless. One day, I got a blackout so bad that I was gone for an hour. I ‘woke up’ on my bed, not knowing what had happened. My mom told me how she had crowded up against me from behind in the kitchen, trying to be funny with me by joking around. I remember a wave of panic hitting me, but that is all. The nightmares became worse and worse, my teeth grinding so hard in my sleep that I would wake the whole house. I was diagnosed with PTSD.

That was a little over a year ago. To this day, I am still coming to terms with all these different diagnoses, figuring out how I can live a life worth living with them. Together with therapy, counselling and medication, I’m trying to shape my life into something that is do-able for me. Money is always an issue, and so are the worries for my future and what I need to do to get ‘somewhere’. Suicidal thoughts are still there, but with people to talk to and a psychiatrist to help me, I feel confident in staying alive. It is not only my mental health that is keeping me from studying and finishing my degree, a lot of physical aspects (kyphosis, migraines, cluster headaches) certainly do their part as well. Every day, I try to get out there and do something that contributes to my future. I am lucky to have a house where I am welcome to stay for as long as I need to, a loving family, and a talent and interest in art and writing that I could pursue as a freelance career.

What is especially important for me, is to know that things like these take time. Feeling useless and scolding myself for not being where I want to be, does not help at all. Getting better, seeking help and getting where you want to be takes a lot of time. Some people just do it a tiny bit faster. In my therapy sessions I have learnt that the worst thing for me to do is to hate myself for who I am and what it is that holds me back. Scolding myself and berating myself to do better and be better and to suck it up, are only going to make it worse. Be kinder to yourself, my therapist says. Be kinder to yourself, everyone around me says.

Be kinder to yourself.

I say, to you, even if I still find it hard to apply those words to my own life. It is something to live by, though. Be kind to yourself. Seek help if you need to. Reach out to a friend. Know that there are people out there willing to help.

Thank you for reading. I hope you are doing well, now and in the future, and that my story might help some of you, even if only a little bit. ♥

Obviously, full coverage is not intended to cover antique vehicles, as the annual premiums are far more than they want to give you should something happen.

What is a car insurance raise depend on? ?

Hello, I come here because everyone I ask just tells me not to worry about it and I JUST WANT TO KNOW! Sorry if this is way too long. I don't want to miss anything. Anyways, I got into a minor accident recently. When I say minor, I mean minor. I bumped them at a red light because I scooted up without looking. Didn't even touch the gas. This is my first accident. I'm twenty years old. When I went to look at our cars my car was a little scuffed, nothing that a little buffing couldn't take off. Their car, was even less. One of the passengers (there were 5 adults total, two children sitting on laps) claimed his back hurt. I was in panic mode as the driver told me that we could handle this without contacting insurance. Later I came to my senses when I realized that this guy with the back injuries was going to keep coming back to me asking for more money, so I told them to call my insurance agency. My question is, does anyone know in the state of Florida what determines how much your car insurance goes up? His injuries (not positive but almost positive) are not bad enough to go into my bodily injury. His PIP should cover it. For example, will your insurance go up based on the damages you have to pay for ? Since I made very VERY minimal damage, will my insurance only go up a little ? Thanks for reading my giant ramble and thanks for responses. Sara""

How much usually insurance cost when you lease a car?

Speeding ticket & avoiding insurance increase?

I received a speeding ticket the other day for going 14 over. This is my second citation in the past year. The previous one being for failure to yield. I CANNOT have this second citation on my record because I can't afford the insurance increase. A friend of mine said he took an online traffic school course and it negated his speeding ticket and kept his insurance rates from increasing. I've found several places to take the online courses for my state, but they don't say whether receiving the certificate of completion will do anything to help remedy my situation. I need to know 1) Reliable online traffic school 2) What to do with the certificate of completion once received (mail to whom? call where?) 3) Does completion of the course guarantee maintained insurance rates. 4) Should I pay the ticket as soon as possible, or wait until after I've completed the course to see if it will negate the fine. Don't tell me just stop being a crappy driver or LOL your fault. I understand my irresponsibility. I just need the answers to my questions, nothing more.""

I know this sounds a little odd, and I know you're probably thinking that I shouldn't have gotten AI if I can't afford the medical bills. But I'm serious, and need recommendations. I need to find an affordable insurance company that will help cover the expenses of an intentional pregnancy. I'm not talking about the actual Artificial Insemination process, but rather the doctor and hospital bills that will occur during pregnancy and at the actual birth. Thank you so much! I really appreciate the help!""

example: I bought my car for a grand and if I get into an accident the insurance will only cover what I paid for the car and not what I've invested into the car since I bought it... say I buy a house that's a bank foreclosure and get it for $10,000 but its worth $80,000 now if the house were to get hit by a sunami earth quake and then burn to bits would I only be re-embursed for the $10,000 like my car insurance or would I be covered for the full value due to size and destruction ect.????""

Claiming insurance for a vandalized car?

a car is 23 years old and in standard form worth about 800. due to the amount of mods done to it, it is insured for 4000. if it was to be vandalized to the point it needed a full respray at a cost of around 1500 what do u reckon the insurance company would do. pay for the respray or write the car off, and payout how much?? its not an agreed value as such, its just thats what was paid for the car so thats what they said to insure it at.""

Car Insurance Cost in NYC?

I have a question regarding car insurance. I'm 29 years old. I've been in 3 car accidents but was not at fault for any of them (2 of the times my car was sitting still! lol) and I've never gotten a ticket for any of those accidents. I used to have insurance through State Farm, full coverage for a 2004 Jeep Liberty that cost 50-60 a month in upstate NY. While driving to NYC one winter I got a speeding ticket, my first ticket ever! I was going I think 82(?) in a 65. This was just before I moved to NYC, and because I got the ticket in a podunk little county I was driving through I had no idea what the name was, the ticket flew out my door and I lost it. I figured they would mail me something else to tell me the payment was late but I never received anything else about it. Well I found out later it was because I moved, even though I moved about 2 months after the fact they wait quite a while to send another notice, and I never received it. Thus, my license was suspended but I never knew. I never got caught driving without it either. So I moved here in 2007 with my Jeep which I was very behind payments for, and then it got towed away for alternate side parking BS. I could have borrowed the money back then to pay to get it out but I let it go. Alright so long story short, I don't have the truck, it was auctioned. I'll be done paying for it through a collection agency settlement offer this May. If I had kept the truck, I would be paying 200+ more a month than I pay now, and I wouldn't have been done paying it til August 2011. Plus I would have had to pay to catch it up the 3 months I was behind, plus pay my boyfriends brother back who was willing to lend me the money to get it out of the car jail (lol) I had the suspension lifted last July so I could rent a car, again no issues. So I'm thinking of buying a 2,000 car (cash! I learned my lesson) in June when I'm done paying for the truck and I want to get no fault insurance. I know it will be a lot more here then what I used to pay, and in addition I now have a suspension that wasn't there before. How much do you guys have to pay for your insurance, if it's not too much information to ask? And how much do you think mine might be, or compare your cost and history to mine? Thanks.""

Father wants to add a named driver to his insurance policy and wants to add the wife who is 48 years old whom holds a provisional licence. However, the daughter who is 17 (nearly 18) wants to be added as a named driver as she does quite a lot of practising in the car.
