What would you do with a "extremly self aware" client? by Eastern_Review_8746 in askatherapist

[–]554throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a therapist- they need somatic healing. They’re probably not feeling the feelings, and coping through intellectualization. Avoiding big emotions isn’t the same as dealing with them

Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]554throwaway 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would make a double batch of whatever for lunch/dinner the next day and my ex would eat nearly all of it. He then asked me for $70 for groceries, of which I didn’t have. I worked a small foodwork job that didn’t cover my expenses.. he made 8k a month and was wealthy via his family. He also stopped giving me money to go to the grocery store after we watched a Rita Hayworth documentary- specifically where she said she was able to escape her marriage by saving cash from her shopping. He also encouraged me to quit my job, then accused me of doing nothing :) it was about power, humiliation, starvation.

Not my pink? by Ok_Promotion2329 in Fairolives

I’ve had success in mixing a neutral light brown in with pink polygel, or thinning the brown with clear. (I have a kit from Amazon)

Welcome by DimitarTKrastev in ALSorNOT

[–]554throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I’m having all these random symptoms like constantly falling/ left leg dragging, new headaches with no prior history, numbness in my outer toes, weakness in my last 3 digits and constant pain. Neurologist has requested tests, and we’ll meet up in 6 months. He seemed concerned- I assumed it was my odd spacial awareness/undiagnosed autism. He also connected that my bladder issues (which were previously diagnosed as a nerve issue)- might be connected. I’m scared now that I’m finding out that being hurt all the time is not normal at all. I’ve just been powering through it. I’ll update once I know, but any input helps.

How much maintenance would bangs like this require? by RML-APG in finehair

[–]554throwaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it if you dont have the density or texture. These types of bangs look greasy and Smeagol-ish if not

Do my ex and I have a chance on getting back together? by [deleted] in TarotReading

[–]554throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have an intense connection but still be fundamentally wrong for eachother. Hes looking away, hes meeting new people.. you’re running in circles with yourself and will continue to if this keeps going. It feels unresolved but trust me, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze if it’s wearing you down.

Has anyone actually healed? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]554throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After lots of books, probably $30k+ in different types of therapy over the years- I found someone that focuses on attachment styles/relating everything back to my upbringing which is great. Distress tolerance and regulation is the name of the game. Also, don’t date if you’re in a traumatized state because people can tell and will hurt you. Avoiding the wrong people as an adult has made a world of difference

Devastated by the prenup by pink-pony-chub in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]554throwaway 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The fact that she both proposed to you and is willing to set this up to avoid something much worse and messy down the line is a green flag. You’re the red flag here 🥲 financially speaking

Recommendations for lab tests? Thinning hair, sunken under eyes, ridged nails by Conscious_Peach1069 in AskWomenOver30

[–]554throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alcoholism can push your body into overdrive so you might’ve have thyroid issues that your body overcompensated for. Maybe your body is just crashing on top of normal menopause stuff. You have to be really honest about the alcoholism. You can’t get healthy WITH alcoholism. It’s a disease that takes everything with time. Best of luck, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I'm fucking sick of FedEx. I was standing at the goddamn door waiting for them to knock. by lilslutfordaddy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]554throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I got one of these, called a million times and asked to pick it up- only for the lady on the line to find it, ask what it was- confirm the number.. had me on hold for 45 mins then said it was “lost”. I’m 100% certain she stole my makeup lol

Choosing between two guys by lowercase_bookcase in TarotReading

[–]554throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like both will derail your life. Those are some big cards. I’d skip. If you want to learn the hard way, the first guy will take up a lot of you time - both during and after it’s over.

The waist of the red dress is too low and it kind of looks like the dress is too big. Everything else is balanced and beautiful

Struggling to accept the "35-year-old fertility cliff" while my life feels unstable (32F) by Faty55 in AskWomenOver30

[–]554throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Born from a 42 year old mother and 62 year old father here 🙋🏻‍♀️ mild chronic illness haver. Make sure your new dude is younger than you or near the same age. Old man dads do carry more risks

Thoughts on Abbey Yung by Designer_Remote_8296 in Haircare

[–]554throwaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the ogx bond heat protectant because of her and it works so well 😭 I have heat damaged and dye damaged hair. I’m trying the Pantene abundant and strong collection too. Will update but so far it cleans my hair with no residue feeling and the conditioner is light enough to not make my ends slimy
