PTSD often asks the question, “How do I feel safe again?” CPTSD often asks a quieter and more painful question, “Who would I have been if I had always been safe?” One searches for a way back. The other mourns a place they never had.
Eggers, thank you for using actors whose faces actually move. She’s about to deliver another amazing performance. And thank you for being historically accurate in general, it’s nice to see boils, infections, etc. on the actors compared to just a smudge of dirt and greasy hair
People make fun of him a lot, but he had a really solid career for a very long time and can still eat off of what he made as a child. A lot of people can’t say that. Also, his birth control is immaculate.
This is the aspect of Nosferatu that people didn’t get. Count Orlok being a strigoi tied him directly to the living history of Europe during a historical transition where class parasitism shifted from the aristocracy to the bourgeois. You should be as terrified as a peasant.
It seems increasingly true of Eggers that he writes his movies with the perspective that magic and demons and Satan and monsters are real and active but the Christian God hides his face.
Meal prepping is the wildest thing you could suggest to someone with ADHD because as soon as I'm done making a week's worth of lasagna, I guarentee you the last thing I wanna eat is a single spoonful of motherfuckin lasagna.
Hot take but I'm actually glad that this is semi misleading. If you haven't watched it this is a pretty aggressive anti AI message packaged in a way that seems pro AI on first glance. Hopefully that means it'll be more approachable to the exact type of people who should watch it
It’s phlebotomy, not rocket science. Please relax. It’s a 4 week course that you get a certificate for. Easy money. Quick entry into healthcare. A good phlebotomist is worth their weight in gold. Shut the fuck up🙄
SOME PEOPLE WITH CPTSD HAVE SUCH A WELL DEVELOPED INNER WORLD THAT THEY RETREATED INTO IT AS A CHILD AND NEVER FULLY CAME BACK OUT AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE INTROVERSION IS SOMETIMES JUST A PERSON WHO FOUND THAT INSIDE WAS SAFER THAN OUTSIDE.
This is why I revoke access to folks who mishandle my kindness. Kindness is the bare minimum. You are a very sick & twisted person if you assume kindness means you’ve conquered someone or established some type of power play — ironically, this is how you announce your inferiority.
Asked my man if I could go outside and sit dressed in a bra and shorts or if I look too ”fat and silly” and he said
”You’re 8 months pregnant. You’re gonna look fat and silly”
If you have Complex PTSD (CPTSD), your amygdala is hypersensitive due to past trauma. This means small triggers (a certain tone of voice, a dismissive look, or a minor mistake) can send you into a panicked, overwhelming state.
