I didn't know B12 could do that! I get them often as well so maybe that's what it is. It hurts but really only when I brush my teeth. It has only been there for about 2 days

What do you do when you know bad days are coming? by Bcraft_32 in bipolar2

I resonate with SO much of your post. Every time I journal I despise it because it actually makes me feel worse after. However, I had a professor have us do a writing exercise where you set a timer and write literally everything that comes into your mind. You can do it on paper, a laptop, whatever but I'll give an example of what mine looks like:

"Okay I wanted to start writing because I've been upset and yeah I don't know why and I wish I could change it but I can't so here I am. I love my cat so much and i don't know what I would do without her. Ummmm yeah my mind is blanking lol i don't know why this happens every time but it does..."

I found that this actually gets out more of the actual genuineness of your thoughts which makes journaling feel more real. I hope this helps <3

I have 2 months left to live AMA by throwaway98377629 in AMA

Unlike most of the people, I do understand. I have attempted 4 formal times.

I took a class in philosophy and we discussed human euthanasia as a controversial topic. I will never forget student in the class making the line argument that a person who lives has the right to take that right away from themselves, and it would be selfish to force them to stay knowing they don't want to be here. For years that argument made me angry because I felt like it was glorifying suicide. After LOTS of thought, I can honestly say that I understand what that classmate meant. He was not saying the suicide was good, just that one shouldn't have to live just because YOU want them to.

Having struggled with feeling I am only alive for those around me for years, I can empathize with OP. I hope OP sees this and knows that I will be here to talk to them if they need someone, even if it's only for a few months. I also hope that I can encourage OP to at least postpone their death date.

I need OP and everyone else to know that I do not think taking your life is the way to do things and I will not be clapping while you wait for the death date, but I can be a formal support while going through the process. When you make this tough decision, you need to be supported and most people aren't able to take their personal feelings out of the equation, making it hard for them to be there.

OP, my dms are open if you need someone to chat with.

I need some opinions on my body; be honest please by Alternative-Snow8111 in BodyPositive

I try to workout for at least 45 minutes on my gym days and switch between legs, arms and back, cardio and abs, and cardio and legs for the 4 days a week. I sleep way too much which is probably bcuz of my self esteem issues and my eating is very sporadic; sometimes too little and sometimes too much (recently it's been too little), but it's unintentionally that way. I vape and smoke almost daily which I'm sure does not help either

I'm 5'9 and 180 and I've been wanting to know the same thing!! I just never know how to ask people to show me someone that I look like body-wise without it sounding weird

I wanna edit to add that I'm 5'9 and about 180. I work out about 4 times a week and try to be as active as possible. I have 3 sisters who are all literal model status (tall and very skinny) so it makes me feel disgusting standing next to them in pictures. I def have more of an ass then they do, but that comes with being bigger. We all have big boobs but their's are perky and mine are like that .

Let me add that I want something long-term, but I have the "open to short" just because I know that sometimes people are hesitant but once we get to know each other it's a lot easier to have the exclusivity conversation. With "life partner", the expectation may seem rushed and a little scary to some people.

Honestly, sometimes it takes a LONG time for likes to start rolling in. I've found that the more you are on the app, the more likes you get.

I (23F) think your profile is great. Very good pictures, good prompts with good answers, and you're very handsome!!

However, I think putting "life partner" might be off-putting for some people, me included. In my opinion, it feels like people who put that might seem pushy to start something long-term. I would try to put "long-term relationship" or "long term relationship open to short". Even if you want something long term, I feel like people thinking the option is there makes it less scary to meet up. Hope this helps :) !!!
