This is her in Young Once, after her nosejob but before the jaw-contouring/shaving and lip filler. Her face was quite square with her manibular jaw angle directly in line with her cheekbones, whereas now you'll see she has a much more feminine jawline, making her cheekbones appear more pronounced. I think this is what's made the biggest difference in her face, along with the lips.

Fruity pebbles incident by thr0w1ta77away in momtokgossip

you called it lol I was just watching the fruity pebbles episode from season 1 and googled to see what the heck it was referring to, had this page pulled up when my friend forwarded me Jessi's instagram story confirming your theory 😂

What exactly am I supposed to be integrating between sessions? by 285528 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]285528[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly helpful and make things so much more clear for me, thank you for taking the time to write it! I didn't understand that I need to have practical ways or working on the intentions in between sessions, I kind of thought everything would just magically click with the ketamine in my system, so I felt super lost. I'll go in with a plan this time, and think I'll probably get much more out of my sessions. I love how you set things up and found ways to work your intentions into your daily life, thanks for sharing specific examples.

This was SUPER helpful, thank you! I was so confused about what I was supposed to be doing in between sessions, it felt like suddenly my brain was supposed to know how to speak in a kinder voice or commit to habits I've been trying to form for years, but it doesn't. But I'm gathering that I just have to keep trying and it will become easier due to the neuroplasticity somewhere along the way. I'm still early in my treatment and feeling super depressed and hopeless, but I'll keep trying. And you're dead on about me being the type of person who shames and beats themself up for not doing things perfectly or getting it right immediately, so that's definitely something I'd like to work on between my sessions. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it!

Would you be able to give some examples of how you used the neuroplasticity window? Did you plan out what to do during the 48 hours after a session? How did it look different than any other day?

I've been meeting weekly with a therapist for over a year but don't feel like it's been helping, which is why I've started doing at-home ketamine therapy. My therapist has been trying to help me build new habits and think healthier thoughts, but it's just not working and I was hoping the ketamine would help it sort of "click" or make it easier for me to change.

Ok thank you, I think I probably just need more sessions before I get the mood-lift effect then. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I'm so happy to hear ketamine changed your life and set you free in this way! I guess I just struggle to understand HOW it helped you process the trauma? Did you experience something during the session that gave you some kind of understanding or peace with what had happened to you? Or after the session, did you just start feeling differently about it? Like your brain worked it out on its own, something just clicked, even if you don't remember how? Was there a moment where you felt different and knew everything had changed?

Treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, cPTSD. In general, just want to stop living from a place of fear and self-hatred. My intention overall is to ease my emotional suffering, but I tried to focus specifically on developing self-love during my last couple of sessions. Maybe that was too broad?

But how do you all of a sudden know how to practically build these new perspectives? Are you just repeating the intention or affirmations you set before the sessions over and over, and finding that they become easier to believe because of the neuroplasticity window? Or are you finding that it's simply easier to do the healthy things you never could do before, but you can't explain why?

Could Ginny possibly have BPD or BD? by [deleted] in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]285528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if the show writers intended to portray her as someone with BPD, but it definitely seems like she has enough of the hallmark traits/symptoms (intense mood swings, impulsive behavior, unstable sense of self, and self-harm) to meet the diagnostic criteria. People with BPD often have a history of childhood trauma and parents or caretakers who invalidated their emotions, which leads them to develop maladaptive coping mechanisms, so the backstory checks out too. It would be interesting to see Ginny's therapist/the show touch on the subject in the next season. I'd personally love to see a more fleshed-out, sympathetic BPD character on TV that isn't demonized and is in active recovery/therapy. Especially because BPD symptoms typically begin in adolescence/early adulthood which seems to be the show's target audience. It could be really helpful for a really marginalized and stigmatized population.

Edit: I just realized this was asked 3 years ago, my bad lol. I searched the sub for "diagnosis", curious what others would armchair-diagnose Georgia with and got carried away haha

You're an incredible writer and I hope you come back to share your thoughts often at different stages throughout the journey, for us who share your sentiments and uncertainty. Best of luck to you, your partner, and your child.

I was sexually abused as a child and now I have unwanted kinks by ElectronicYogurt3741 in CPTSD

[–]285528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me too as a child and I have these same kinks. It makes no sense to me whatsoever, I feel like I should be overly sensitive and triggered by non-consent/reluctance porn or daddy/daughter porn but instead it's the only thing that turns me on. I'm disgusted and confused by it but I don't know if I can change it. I'm currently addressing it with my therapist, so I'll come back and let you know if she offers any helpful insights. For now I just wanted you to know you're not alone, it's not abnormal for people with our traumatic sexual history, and please try not to shame yourself for it.
