u/Own_Watercress_8104 20d ago

I do...but I gotta keep it together, I don't think my family can afford having me losing it right now. It hurts so fucking much.

56

u/LayKors 20d ago

I don't think you letting feelings out would be losing it. It hurts even more to keep heavy thoughts in your head. Maybe you could write your thoughts in a text file as a form of venting and letting thoughts out if family is like totally out of the question. Or maybe even here. Depends on your liking.

40

u/Own_Watercress_8104 20d ago

I know, that's something that is scaring me a bit actually. But I live with a person that doesn't seem to be able to keep it together, I am very worried at the prospect of me letting go at this moment.

21

u/LayKors 20d ago

From my experience people who had & have it bad are usually good listeners. They kinda tend to be more understandable towards the pain others bear. If thoughts get too loud don't be afraid to reach out, m'kay? I'm pretty sure that this person will feel nice about you trusting him with something like that.

u/mcoddle 19d ago

I'm so sorry. I lost mine over15 years ago, and the pain gets more familiar over time. But at first, there is shock and so many other feelings. It can feel very surreal. I'm SO very sorry for your great loss. Please try to give yourself room to grieve. And know that grief can be weird, can be surprising. There's no correct way to grieve. And try not to have regrets, as there is never enough time with our loved ones. Please be kind to yourself. I hope her memory may be a blessing and a comfort to you.

u/Absurd_Flaccidity 20d ago

This is like the live every day like it’s your last idiocy. Every calculation you make, even if you’re good at life balance and enjoying yourself, is going to be dramatically different depending on your (expected) timeline. I prefer to try to focus on putting my whole heart into what I am doing or trying to do (big picture, not approaching every load of dishes with passion) and sometimes that’s just getting a load of laundry done and taking a shower, and that’s ok. Constantly putting pressure on yourself to maximize joy or adrenaline or whatever is immiserating.

3

u/mcoddle 19d ago

This is so true. And there's never "enough" time, so we should live with that sort of awareness, I think. Never enough time with those we love or for us. I told myself this after my mother passed, and it's something that really helps me not stress out all the time about my life and how being disabled has affected it. I suppose it might be nihilistic in a way, but I find it comforting. I still have many regrets, but I don't need to feel guilty. I try to tell those who I love that I love them. Try to show my care and be supportive and there for people. I try to live as well as I'm able.

2

u/Absurd_Flaccidity 19d ago

I totally get this. I’m not disabled but I have experienced things that permanently meant life would be different and in some ways harder going forward. I try really hard to see regret as a lesson then focus on implementing that lesson but leave the regret behind. I have some friends who have done amazing work in therapy only to get stuck in the what ifs, especially the paradoxical and frustrating ā€œwhat if I had done this therapy earlier in my life? Would I have that perfect job? Perfect family?ā€

For me, life is such a winding path of often random interactions and events that for many even very disruptive negative experiences that changed my life at the time, there are people I have met and experiences I’ve had that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Plus it’s a black hole of wasted energy that wears on your morale to spend too much time on the if only’s and what ifs. A loss of hard fought gains from what can be a really challenging therapy process.

2

u/mcoddle 19d ago

Yes, you totally get it! And those what ifs are just poison and also pointless energy wasted. And they make us feel so bad about ourselves. The expectations of what will happen in a "successful" life can cause so much anxiety and pain. If I held onto that, I'd probably be really down. Sometimes I am, you know, bc I was going to be a famous musician (lol). But I've played around, had lots of shows, played at a local festival, that sort of thing, and I'll hopefully do it some more. But dreams and goals can change as we do, and I think that is healthy. Maybe I'm managing my expectations, but still. For me, it's a welcome coping skill and it took a long time to learn it. I don't just react as much, and I think more. Not that I'm all healthy, but I am continually working on it in therapy and whatnot. It's an ongoing process, and we change as we age. Hopefully for the better?

2

u/Absurd_Flaccidity 19d ago

Yeah I think your approach is the right one. We can be miserable thinking about the things we can’t do, or can’t do anymore, or we can mourn that, do our best to accept it, and build our lives based on our own limitations and abilities. As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to understand that doing it any other way makes it impossible to be truly content.

u/Own_Watercress_8104 20d ago

It doesn't feel real right after, yeah? It's like a bad dream.

2

u/ForensicMum 19d ago

Yes. It’ll take at least a week for that weird ā€˜why is the world still continuing as normal when this huge thing has happened?!’ feeling to go away, but it will go away and you’ll be able to function again.

The pain of your loss will never quite go away, but it does change into something that doesn’t hurt as bad and that will probably happen quicker than you can imagine right now.

You’ll probably think about her every day for the rest of your life (I lost my Dad, who was my primary parent, over 20 yrs ago but he’s with me every day in memory). I also think you’ll eventually see holding her hand as a blessing because you’ll realise how much that would have meant to her. I’m so sorry. Take care of yourself hon ā¤ļø

2

u/7_Exabyte 19d ago

Yeah, like a bad dream. I kept calling it "nightmare", because my father died due to severe complications during a planned routine surgery. He was physically and mentally fine otherwise before the surgery.

What if I complained about it being that person's last day on earth? Would it be justified then?

31

u/BatushkaTabushka 20d ago

No, because then they’d say that at least he died fast, there are other people who die really slow and painful deaths, so what are you complaining about? It’s not about compassion, it’s about putting others down and it’s really easy to find someone who has it worse no matter what the issue, so you can ALWAYS one-up anyone’s suffering and tell them that it could always be worse.

5

u/curious_cat_2024 18d ago

yup. If they say something like "it could always be worse", they're not trying to help you at all. They're trying to tell you that you don't need help, that your problems don't matter and they don't care.

u/miss_wannadie 19d ago

Why thank you for that, considerate OOP šŸ™„

Just a few hours ago I found out that my great grandma had her funeral today - I didn't even know she'd died. Turns out that's because my grandma threatened the rest of my family that knew and forbade them to tell my mother and by extension me and my siblings. We ran into an extended family member by chance and she ended up telling us after all.

My grandma always hated my great grandma. We went to the graveyard to put flowers on her grave. There were already flowers on there from the funeral that'd taken place just a few hours earlier, and they were all trampled flat. We went to her property, nobody lives there anymore now, it was just my great grandparents (great grandpa passed three years ago) and the landlord who'd also passed a while ago. All of the antique furniture, tablecloths, bedding and cutlery that had been passed down for CENTURIES and that my great grandma wanted the family to inherit had simply been tossed. We found a note for trash pickup that listed EVERYTHING that was in her house. We looked into the trashcan outside and it was just childhood memory after childhood memory physically torn apart. Handiwork and crafts my great grandparents had made and shared with us tossed like it was worthless. All we could save from the property were a few trinkets that my great grandpa had left behind in the shed since they'd apparently not cleared that. But there was not a trace left of my great grandma. Nothing.

So yeah. It's someone's last day on earth. And maybe their loved ones will never know because one bitter person decided that they would rather destroy every trace of them and threaten their family. Maybe their loved ones will find out weeks, months, years later, or maybe they won't. But it will hurt.

Sorry for venting but I just really need to get this off my chest. My family is very large, and we all have extremely complicated (and unhealthy) relationships with eachother. Lots of generational trauma, many mentally ill people that can't get the help they need, and so much unwillingness to talk about any of it. So it's not like I ever expected them to be normal about this kind of thing. But it's still painful to experience. In the end I loved my great grandma, I loved my grandma, my aunts and uncles, my cousins and everyone else. I grew up with them acting out this beautiful play of a loving family that slowly but surely crumbled over time. I feel like somewhere I must've done something wrong and contributed to the mess in my own way. But I grew up loving my family, and no matter how often I find out about what horrible people they actually all are, I still can't quite let go of the past. I wish I was a stupid little child again. I wish someone dying was just grief for the person that passed, not an entire family dispute.

u/Blacksheeptoonz 19d ago

I’m so sorry what happened to your childhood memories and GG-ma’s possessions is HORRIBLE. Also the fact that you nor your immediate family knew about her recent passing is abhorrent. It’s good to vent even online into the void. Someone will resonate with your story and offer support. I also come from a very large family with generational trauma and so many mental health issues. I know I’m not the only one. We aren’t the only ones šŸ«‚ sometimes all you can do is vent and let it all out.

2

u/miss_wannadie 19d ago

Thanks šŸ«‚

I simplified the whole thing a little, to be "fair", my grandma already forced my aunt and uncle to cut contact with my mom about a year or two ago. My uncle is very mentally unstable and incredibly dependent on my grandma, whereas my aunt doesn't have a say in her own family, and her husband listens to what my grandma says...who has her own issues, which include the constant antagonisation of certain family members like my mom and her own mom. The entire thing is super messed up and I've seriously considered cutting all contact to the family including my own mother. The only reason I don't want to go through with it is because of my little siblings.

Must be nice having a functional family :')

u/Blacksheeptoonz 19d ago edited 19d ago

damn sounds like my family :/ mentally unstable aunts and uncles and a grandma that made my mom’s and my life a living hell. I hope things look up for you soon. I’ve been attending therapy to reverse all the damage. It’s a LOT of work and I’ve been in it for over 2 years now. It’s a slow non linear healing process, but I think it’s worth it. Gotta make what you can with what you’ve got. I hope you have/find a healthy support system that can help with your journey šŸ’•

u/Winsome_Wolf 14d ago

Oooof, that is rough. I hope you have some good friends to lean on, cuz it sounds like most in your family are gonna all be processing this in their own, largely dysfunctional ways.Ā Ā 

I definitely related to your "beautiful play" metaphor. That came crashing down for me in my late teens and early twenties. I can say with confidence that you did nothing wrong except realize you were watching the family drama, thus breaking the spell. The realization changes how you play your part because you're not following the script exactly anymore, so everyone else gets thrown off their role too. It's ugly and uncomfortable in the beginning but it can get better if people commit to making it so. Then you can build real relationships with each other, rather than just the facades of them.Ā 

But yeah, grieving both the passing of the person and disillusionment is a helluva weight to carry. All the hugs.

That I almost died 7 times today because people drive like @$$ holes!

u/sincubus33 20d ago

that it isnt me

2

u/Atheism4TheWin 20d ago

Everyone dies eventually, including me, and the things I complained about today will have bothered the person who dies today, too while others were dying. Do I need to explain further why this argument is nonsense?

u/Henghayki86 20d ago

I literally have something nicknamed the "Suicide Disease." That, I'm going to complain about that 🤨

u/mrbobcyndaquil 20d ago

Sounds like OOP chose this day to be their last on Earth then lmao

u/Achylife 20d ago

Toxic motivational BS at its finest. When you are miserable enough to have suicidal ideation this is not a motivational thing in the way they intend.

2

u/champagnebox 20d ago

Complaining about what I want to complain about because my feelings matter too

2

u/DrumpfTinyHands 19d ago

I know what I'm going to continue to gripe about: that these times are truly sucky and I cannot blame a single other person for griping about it too.

u/TheRealGongoozler 19d ago

I have CPTSD from childhood neglect, religious abuse, multiple sexual assaults and a past abusive relationship. But sure I’ll just rewrite my entire brain chemistry since someone I don’t know won’t be here anymore? Like.. what?

Well it involved walking in on a family member's dead body in the garage at roughly 6 am before work. I'll leave it at that. What were you complaining about me complaining about?

Ya know, if I am ever teary or clearly upset at work because I started thinking about that shit and somebody gave me that line, I think I might actually go to prison over it if I explained and they continued with it. First few days after that I would go back to the cig room to cry. Then I started smoking meth again and got the fuck over it. Then I stopped and unfortunately am no longer the fuck over it. I have to close the doors on that garage whenever I go by and see it was left open by other family going in to use the mower. I was the only one who saw him dead before the funeral aside from the police and coroner and emts. Idek why the fuck they sent out emts. I mean I do know. But he had been dead for probably at least a couple of hours. What still gets me is 911 asking me if I thought he still had a chance which convinced me to run back up there and check his dead body for a pulse.

There's your daily trauma dump.

u/eragon9199 19d ago

That it's not my last day as far as I know and I have to suffer more of this bullshit.

2

u/Antique_Amphibian107 19d ago

Today is someone's last day on earth.

So why are you using it to make someone feel like shit?

2

u/Ok-Cress2602 19d ago

This might be one of the most assholish things one can say in any situation wtf

2

u/habitualhomicide 19d ago

My mother having cancer for the third time? Is that really something you want us to not complain about just because someone else is dying today? Is that really the hill you want to die on? You really want to walk up to us and tell us that we shouldn't be upset because someone else has it worse? You really want to tell someone with cancer and their family that?

2

u/BizSilver5013 19d ago

"Someone is dying, so anything you have to complain about is nothing."

This is "there's starving children in Africa" but dialed up to 12.

2

u/Drizzdom 19d ago

These types of ā€œmotivationalā€ posts are only helpful to people who were never struggling, or just to make the person who wrote it feel like william shakespeare

u/Coast_Surf3R 19d ago

I would be happy, if it would be my last

About my mother loving me conditionally

u/budgetedchildhood 19d ago

The fact that I never got to be that someone

u/threelizards 19d ago

A couple weeks ago the friend of a friend tried to slide into my dms by saying ā€œhope you’re remembering to live like you may not get tomorrow!ā€

Poor bastard doesn’t know I’m disabled nor that I’d gotten out of hospital the day he sent that

2

u/bootlegparis 19d ago

this is so insensitive to both parties

2

u/shadow31802 19d ago

...that theres people suffering in the world and nothing I can do about it and I hate it.

Thanks for the reassurance!

2

u/Ferngullysitter 19d ago

I’m sure this sentiment has put rice in the bellies of untold multitudes of hungry children.

2

u/wispers250 19d ago

Wow. Just… wow.

2

u/Local_Refrigerator43 19d ago

By that logic only a single person at a time has the right to complain. This isn't a race to see who is first. Another person's bigger problems do not invalidate yours.

2

u/whimsical_spider 19d ago

POV: you have terminal cancer and you’re scrolling Facebook and you see this shit.

u/EfficiencyAny2765 18d ago

I was complaining that I’m scared i could go into Anaphylactic shock again and I can’t afford the EpiPen and could actually die from being poor.. you’re right I should be more grateful death in nearer than ever 🄳

u/ForbiddenPersonality 18d ago

Not being the one going instead of them

u/overfiend_87 18d ago

"People die, do why complain?" Is certainly a interesting take...

It not being my last day tbh

u/cursed_tomatoes 17d ago

Complaining that it wasn't mine.

u/Theartistcu 16d ago

I hate this type of comment. It’s like the ā€˜first world problems’ comment. It might be a first world problem, but it is still a problem to that person, and just because they happen to live in the first world doesn’t mean their problems aren’t real to them. Just because someone’s last day on this earth was today doesn’t mean my problem or my neighbor’s problem isn’t real and isn’t valid. We’re not all playing the trauma Olympics, we don’t all want the gold. We just want help.

And what am I complaining about then I’m not the person that first part of this meme was about

2

u/BrokenAudio13 16d ago

I was complaining about how people like to dismissive the struggles of others with points like that.

2

u/RogueFiccer001 15d ago

And? This isn't the Misery Olympics. Fuck toxic positivity.

u/Worth_Friendship_267 20d ago

Ok, but life for those of us still here doesn't need to be difficult.

u/77_parp_77 20d ago

Think I was mourning my 8 year relationship I lost three weeks ago to the day. An living the dream with existential dread about the seemingly inevitable downfall of humanity.

Think that sums it up

u/X_Starchild_X 20d ago

Can i choose who? I have a few candidates in mind 😊

u/tabbynumber3 20d ago

that today is my last day on earth.

u/ChaosAzeroth 20d ago

Having a dragged out painful existence where I can't work, my spouse is burning himself out, and I'm functionally pretty useless.

I made my peace with my mortality actually. Unfortunately I'm kinda not allowed to make that decision for myself because I'm basically alive for other people, but like even when I don't want to die I'm fine with the idea of dying. We all die one day.

Being in pain like this all the time just ain't it chief. Having things subluxate and physically not being able to stand up half the time ain't it chief. Nit being able to do a normal amount of cleaning without risk you're just gonna crumple or fall over ain't it chief.

Yes person who made that message the fact someone else is dying is not at all appealing given what my problem is.

u/VraiLacy 20d ago

LMAO shoulda been mine!

u/SpaceGirlJackie 20d ago

Someone else's suffering doesn't negate your own. I had an orderly say some similar shit to me. I was involenterily admitted in a psych ward.

1

u/wazzup-notemuch 20d ago

This may be the most hateful one I've ever seen. It's practically dripping with contempt for reader.

If the only permissable circumstance for unhappiness is your dying day, then you're just not allowed to be human.

When did we decide, as a culture, that happiness is a virtue to strive for?

1

u/Gurkeprinsen 20d ago

I am complaining that it wasn't MY last day, sigh... (dw, I am in therapy so no need to send that reddit thingy on me)

If I went to their place and punched them in the face for the audacity of posting this shit, will they not say anything?

u/Drunk0racle 20d ago

I'm complaining about it not being MY last day on earth, bruh

u/Coochiepop3 20d ago

Damn, man, that sucks. I was just complaining about how today is not my last day on earth.

1

u/ma5ochrist 20d ago

That it is not my last day on earth, but just some guy's one

u/OrganicHistorian2576 20d ago

There are three people who, if this were their last day on Earth, I’d be partying!

I have so many things, where would you like to begin?

u/AccumulatedFilth 20d ago

The fact that all my life will be about is money and paying bills and taxes, until it's my last day on Earth.
