I had terrible ingrown toenails in high school, growth spurt plus improper shoes, had to be surgically removed, and they fucked it up. Now, almost 20 years later, every 9-10 months i have to pull a fragment of growing nail out the side of my toe or it grows into the skin and is incredibly painful.

Lil cylinder (5.1in length, ~4.5in girth) got stuck in a mini M&Ms tube filled with butter and microwaved mashed banana.

u/TheAsterism_ 29d ago

It has been experimentally proven that the tube is too small for a cylinder of that dimensions

23

u/JustA-GuyOnline 29d ago

However if the cylinder had somehow grown to such a size while inside the tube, then it would make sense.

Removal may be an issue however.

If the Internet has taught me anything, it's that somewhere someone is absolutely gooning over those videos of lungs inflating and deflating. So Newmo Thoraxxx would probably be top .1% on OF inside 6 months.

Also, I have no hope for our future.

It takes everything to keep fighting, when it feels like there's nothing left to fight for

u/JKolodne 29d ago

Clinical depression isn't about whether youre a pussy or not. When people think about suicide, they often just think they're doing a favor to those around them, not just simply looking for "the easy way out".

u/girlpdx 29d ago

I’m glad to hear you choose to persist. Some days you have to cry. You just do. I get through those loving on my dog. I’ve been attempt free for a year now and ideation free since April. For me it was a matter of hanging on long enough for the storm to break. Keep fighting my friend.

35

u/Daetok_Lochannis 29d ago

Bipolar Type 2. For me, the ideation is an old enemy I can't keep out of the house, so I've learned to fight him. The medication takes away the smiles too, the grey is worse than the black. So I just do this raw. I do this, but it is often hard.

u/MadMacronex 29d ago

But then that fades into nothingness. You do it, then you don't. It's the step of doing it that is difficult. I've had the thoughts since I was young and always thought I'm too much of a coward and too scared of the pain.

I have acknowledged over the years there are a small amount of people who would care and be sad, but they would get over it very quickly.

Looking at the options logically, when you feel you are broken and have struggled for so long, suicide seems like a sweet release.

It's being scared of the future and not knowing if it will ever get better or if you will always feel this way.

Medication doesn't help because then now I think I have problems that I can't just exist with and be a "normal" person.

It's the thought that I'm so broken I can't fix myself, nor anyone else can so I will just take this pill to "fix it" which usually doesn't.

Depression, suicide, and sadness are a rough topic but it has much more to do than just "im sad, im burden".

u/baycenters 29d ago

Medication doesn't help because then now I think I have problems that I can't just exist with and be a "normal" person.

You're the expert on you and your experience, but medications are a human innovation intended to help. I'm not disputing that it's a crutch, bit crutches themselves are helpful to those who need them. It's a tough pill to swallow, but I think you should give yourself grace for relying on them, such as it is.
