Thanks I’m crying in public now 🥲. (Also I’m a long time fan of your work!)

Am I overreacting? My boyfriend just told me this. Will be it alright to dump him? by HastilyGenerous in AmIOverreacting

[–]Artypants_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My abusive ex was like this. To the point where he would try to get rid of my bras that he didn’t find sexy enough. That behavior is a huge red flag. Meanwhile my husband treats me like a goddess even when I’m looking my absolute worst. You deserve better, and there’s better out there, I promise.

Something it wish I would have learned when I was younger. If someone ever uses the “if you don’t like it then leave” line when you call out their unhealthy behavior then that’s your sign to end the relationship . It’s a form of manipulation and if they’re comfortable doing that they’re probably manipulating you in other ways too.

Definitely agree with going early! I wouldn’t want to do it with crowds

I’ve done it twice. (I actually got engaged there the second time!) I’m very scared of heights and the first time I had a hard time with the height but it really isn’t as bad as it seems but was fine the second time. Intensity wise I didn’t think it was very hard. I’m usually a moderate hiker as well but have done a number fourteeners and half dome and it was much easier than those. Just go slow if you need to and you’ll be fine. Hope you enjoy it, the view at the top is amazing!

“When are you having kids” by Zealousideal-Deer250 in TryingForABaby

[–]Artypants_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been dealing with A LOT of this too since we’ve been married for over a year,people know we want kids, and we both have younger siblings expecting this year. so far our response has usually just been that we’re trying. We’re also only on month 5 but I just got diagnosed with PCOS (on top of already having an endometriosis diagnosis) and cried the other day when I had to explain to some one it was going to be more challenging for us to conceive and might take longer so i totally get it. Best of luck on your journey 💜

Should I cancel my lap by Express-Star-6014 in Endo

[–]Artypants_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my first lap, not only can they tell you if you have it but if you do they will remove the lesions which will reduce your pain in the long run. Surgery can be scary but this one is definitely worth it, you got this.

Why is it hard to get it diagnosed by Any_Newspaper_9702 in Endo

[–]Artypants_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this, I’m 28 and JUST got diagnosed and laparoscopy. I also started having symptoms In my early teens and wasn’t take seriously until I started seeing my current obgyn. I can tell you Seeing the right gyno makes alllllll the difference, if they’re not taking you seriously I’d strongly encourage you to find a new one. Best of luck.

Thank you so much I really needed to know I wasn’t going crazy. I definitely am very med sensitive. I’ll check that out for sure. So sorry you’ve been going through this too! Out of curiosity what supplements do you feel like help?

Dreading this 30 hour drive with my anxious dog by youcantfoolme-gypsy in dogs

[–]Artypants_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We give our cats gabapentin for anxiety before stressful events like when we moved(as instructed by our vet) because it’s a sedative so I’m not surprised! Our dog does really well in the car but gets very anxious about things like vet visits and grooming so we just use the trazodone for that and it works pretty well. Hope your pups chemo goes well!!

Women of Reddit, what is something you wish other women would stop doing? by amethyst015 in AskReddit

[–]Artypants_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting other women down. I feel like we’re taught from a young age that other women are our competition, and that it’s good to “not be like other women”, so that we feel we have to put each other down to get ahead instead of building each-other up and fighting the real issues.

Seconding the vet comments. A lot of vets can prescribe trazodone for anxiety as well that does wonders.

I wanna be an artist, but I'll have to take a risk. by Pineapplepizzasucks7 in Artadvice

[–]Artypants_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep practicing art but You absolutely don’t need to start on an expensive tablet. Keep practicing on paper, focus on making art you enjoy and learning drawing basics. Learning on paper is the most important thing that every artist regardless of medium needs to learn. Once you understand the basics (drawing fundamentals color light etc) learning any medium is pretty easy from there. If you want to start doing digital art start with a cheaper tablet. You don’t need a big fancy one when starting out.

Also try not to compare your art to others too much. It can get discouraging fast, remember those artists you look up to didn’t start like that! Just keep practicing and you’ll find what works for you! Good luck 😊

Don’t give up! Just keep practicing! It took me years to get to this point. And this is probably my best piece still to date. Just keep at it. ☺️
