BTW apologies for the feature length film script ^ just thought I'd give context for those who aren't aware of what section 504 means for minors

Speaking as someone who continues to be under a section 504 in school, for those who dont know: A 504 document tells teachers and staff the needs of a student if their needs are atypical. This, for me, means breaks from class to prevent ant/or minimize panic attacks. For my friends who have undergone surgery, it means allowing them to use our schools elevators to move from level to level. It also means that they have passing period offset by a certain amount of time so the kids who use crutches or wheelchairs aren't run over in our massive school. A LOT of kids have 504s. My 504 coordinator and the work we've done for my 504 document have changed my life. I have gone from panic attacks almost daily in the middle of my class because of months overdue assignments, to being able to take breaks and consult with my teachers so we understand eachother better. Panic attacks daily, to once every few weeks. Chronic absence over said panic attacks leading to incomplete work, to turning in an assignment late every once in a while and only for my hardest classes. If you are not currently in a school with a 504, do not try to downplay their positive effect. This was a vital part of my progress in the development of my mental health, my self-image, and my (now positive) world view. It fills in the gaps that may be left by an uncaring and unyielding school system and workload.

it leads to a collection of links to his social media accounts as well as a video made by him

Around the start of middle school or a little earlier I saw a counselor at one of my summer camps and just looked at his eyes. I was incredibly confused and intimidated by the feeling of attraction and questioned why the hell I was feeling this unique emotion towards men. At the time I understood myself to be a guy (definitely not anymore lol but I'm not willing to do the argument over how "gender" is created) and it took me a WHILE to figure out... fuck.... that was attraction. Does anyone else feel that theyre attracted to one gender in a very different way from another? That was a source of tension for me when I was figuring out my sexuality.

yeah you would know, glizzyguzzler

can you define daddy issues in any concrete way? this is not an official term at all so I'd be cautious seeking opinions on it online. I feel for you regardless and I struggle with some of these traits, though I don't think theyre simplistic enough to be ascribed to a relationship with a particular parent or similar

I love the look of the beaches in Australia, hope I get to go soon! nice pictures!!

Answer: I understand your pain, but also no one on Lemmy is qualified to help you in any way. Get off the internet. When using Lemmy is not serving you, dont come back to Lemmy expecting it to suddenly serve you.

MEEOOWWW!!!!!!

Look into the concept of codependency. One should never be in a relationship DESPITE their wellbeing.

Frankly, having dealt with situations like this before, this level of attachment should be walked away from or cut off. Amelia seemingly needs to get over this and I don't even know that theres a charitable solution to this where everyone wins. I've always governed myself with the philosophy that I should look after myself. This can superficially sound selfish but it's because I can't take care of other if I'm not nearing my best. If Amelia is this dependent on Ana, for both of their sakes, I think the tie should be severed or minimized. This sounds cruel, I understand. How does Ana feel? Does she feel burdened by this? If so, it sounds like we have our answer.

Both of them are fucking insane. To devote this much energy to weirdos on the internet is deranged. They both need to devote their energy to better things, as evidenced by the fact that I had to press "show context" on their comment thread so many times I lost patience. I thought everyone on Lemmy was better than this. I dont care what the original cause of the disagreement was at this rate because EVERY step of the way, one of them couldve turned on do not disturb or gone to an alt account or SOMETHING. If either of you are seeing this, you can do better. Flying Squid specifically? Threatening suicide is the number one way to look immature (of every kind), especially over a stranger on the internet. Do. Better.

Edit: If someone could give a kind description of what the drama was even all about, I'd appreciate it. I can't bear to dig through either of their histories.
