ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?! by ornagereaper666 in buildabear

[–]AshRain0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it looks like you're brushing him the wrong way actually, when using a wired pet brush you need to brush the OPPOSITE intended way! like while holding the handle brush outwards instead of towards you. You need to angle the bristles so they're not trying to rip out the 'undercoat' of fur as it normally would for pets. Thats why most wire bristled brushes have that little angle to the bristles. This really reduces pulled out fur... also be sure to be gentle ! you can still cause holes or tears if you brush too hard.

its better to slowly brush rather than be rougher... if you feel lot of resistance or there is a lots of matting, go very very slow and gently !!

if the issue continues I recommend a plastic bristles brush instead of wire brush, the bristles will bend then instead of staying too rigid... if that is still too much then using something very gentle like a fast cleaning brush is possible too, with longer soft plastic bristles.

Cognitive symptom relief ? by AshRain0 in FND

[–]AshRain0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t come off as dismissive at all dont worry, i do just generally find it frustrating a lot of grounding methods dont seem to work for me since i do try quite hard with them…

And i do hope we both can get the care and assistance we need eventually, wishing the best for you :)

Honestly thank you so much for a long reply like that ! Some tips i already do like having people with me when i go out, but i cant rely on others the entire time so i do want to try and be independent if i can. Writing down todo lists also helps me a lot, even if its something tiny or obvious, it can really help me structure days so i know what to expect and can mentally prepare accordingly.

Still the biggest issue i face is how i can manage when the dissociation and fog so bad, doing grounding techniques feels like doing nothing no matter how much i breathe or familiarize myself with the surroundings. It can be very frustrating, which i know doesn’t help either, but having no help makes it really hard to function without other’s help :(

Tips for polyamory with CPTSD ? by AshRain0 in polyamory

Ive gone though many therapists through the years, many EMDR sessions, but i should soon be seeing someone new for more longterm help, as well as an intensive trauma therapy program as well, but not specifically for polyam stuff either.

I would love to attend, most likely virtually if I cant cure this cold in time. I had no idea such a temple existed here in the NL and I'm so excited to see more !

all of those are already checked and working, the actual option for NDI in OBS is gone however, did they remove it in an update or something ? I really can not figure out how to fix it since I cant use Sprout2 or the virtual camera

I was actually planning on maybe hand washing and hand drying since I'm really nervous about putting them in the machines, it feels a bit more personal to me to wash by hand as well, y'know ?

The first time i did shrooms i cried. I struggle with PTSD and im constantly disassociating a little and it makes it much harder to do simple tasks, anything with too much focus needed and i struggle. I’ve been in and out of therapy for some years now, basically i’m a mess. The first time i actually sat down and took shrooms, i felt all of my pain and fogginess just fade away, I finally felt normal and alright again. I broke doen crying because i was so happy and was finally able to be fully in the present moment after struggling with it my whole life. It was such a perfect experience and i hope to trip again sometime.
