I'm going to vent a bit, is that okay? I love my parents, but it really seems like they don't love me the same. I've been scolded so many times for such tiny things, and because of that, I haven't felt at home lately. I've been going to a friend's place a lot more often, and it seems like he loves me way more than my parents ever could. He always listens to me and comforts me whenever I needed it. Every time I come back to my parents' place, they would dismiss me as if I wasn't a human. I tried to cope with it, saying that I had him there for me, but it was so difficult. The next thing I knew, my friend brought me to a therapist. I told my parents that I started going, and all they said was, "do we have to pay? If we don't, I don't care. Do whatever you want." I was so hurt. I told him. He told me he'd be there for me whenever I needed him, and I was so grateful. I love him. So, whoever is suffering from derealization, please, tell someone you trust and love. I'm sure that they'll listen to you. People love you, and you are real.

I feel safe here but at the same time, I feel all my problems inside me (if that makes sense) and I don't like it....

[@TheBased_Department]

I feel empty, not always, but quite often. I don't meet expectations of myself and already have accepted my hypocrisy to myself, there's a meat bag with some form of chemical reactions which define it's behaviour, and there is a "person" which is an abstract concept to define your behaviour, feelings are just another kind of thought with no language, much simpler. You can't think if you feel too much, and you don't feel if you think too much. I want to do the right things and i expect myself to do them, but sometimes i don't do them, even if i should, because i as "monkey" want to do nothing and i have no will to resist it. Once in a while i start to meet my expectations and I'm doing everything I want, or even more but after a few months i just quit, i want nothing but some food and sleep. I don't feel particularly bad and i can even "enjoy" that emptiness but the actual thing which makes me feel bad is that i don't do my job well even if i can, and i know that i can, but i don't do it.

i’ve come to cope been through some shit the past couple months and i’m finally unpacking it mentally these playlists really help

[@GR4V3YRD]

I'ma vent rq: Ok so one time I was playing outside with a bunch of friends. And I remember laughing and running but all of a sudden everything went away and I blacked out for maybe a couple of seconds, but to me it felt like minutes and when I came back to reality I felt weird. I felt fake like everything I was doing wasn't real or like I was dreaming. I ran back to my house telling my parents what had happened and I was just crying so much. Sometimes I get that feeling that I'm not real and that I'm nothing. Another thing is that whenever I fall asleep I have these dreams that are very realistic, so it's like I can never tell if what I'm dreaming is actually happening to me in real life or not.

[@matuili2633]

I've been feeling very shitty these last months... Usually this is the part where people blame the pandemic as if it was a living, conscious thing, but really it's all my fault and at the same time I want to feel like it isn't. I've just had so much time to think about my future, and I started going to therapy and thinking about my career and stuff... but ultimately I'm realizing that I'm the opposite of who I want to be. I'm a prick. And I don't have any friends anymore, probably because of the things I do (and don't do). At the end of the day I wish I could stop torturing myself 24/7, but it just feels so hard... not to... I miss having people in my life. Enjoy the friends you have now. Call them. Try enjoying things they enjoy. Being selfish all the time will kill you, especially if you end up killing your self. It always starts with the selfishness.

[@hat7475]

can someone fill me in with why or how 'The Caretaker' triggers someone?

[@matuili2633]

Here's the thing. The Caretaker's "Everywhere at The End of Time" is a multiple part musical project that is supposed to simulate a person suffering from dementia. The first part introduces a bunch of old songs from a person's life and with time they start getting more and more corrupted and confusing, like that person doesn't remember them anymore. By the end of the whole thing there are multiple instances of straight up silence, until the last minutes, where a very eerie song, followed by what the caretaker confirmed is supposed to represent the person's brain death, finally happens. It's basically 6 hours of music that shows you how it feels to go insane, until you don't know who you are anymore, until you die. That's why so many people can't listen to it after learning what it is about.

[@Iquey]

The song combination here is perfect! I put your playlist in my story playlist that will help me write a weird story so thank you so much for making this!

[@applentee]

pt1 is more of my vibe. pt2 isnt hitting tthe same. but thats just my opinion. still u got a random person to listen to it. for some reason the songs played in the first one hurts my brain. like am i getting a headache or nah? leaving the first video, its just gone and when i go back to it and listen from the start it just hurts again. bruh... brain is weird.

My parents don't know this, nor my siblings, but I've been starving myself, only eating one meal a day. I'm tired, hungry, and I don't know if I exist to my friends and family.

[@SoraKoudo]

a little bit of advice for, anyone just reading, it’s okay to not be sure of what you want to be around for- god knows I’ve had issues with that just.. It’s okay if your reason for being around changes over time? Because you can’t always live *just for yourself* all the time, because sometimes that’s not... quite good enough? Or this is from my own experience I mean just, It’s okay to be alive for other things... than just yourself? Because maybe... the reason you’re still around is you have I don’t know, friends that care, or a pet companion you need to care for or just, even more small things It’s okay not to know, just as long as you’re still around :’) What’s my reason for being alive still? To spite God. He gave me *so much mental illness* like if he knew I didn’t have issues I would have been far too powerful Simply he nerfed me Erm.. I hope you have a nice day, or night or, whatever time of day it is as you read this (This aesthetic always helps me go to sleep :’) )
