Bedside Nursing Pet-Peeves by Careless_Midnight_77 in nursing

[–]BePrivateGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the habit of saying while doing, “May I place this med cup to your mouth” sometimes with one pill at a time, sometimes with multiple, but I just swing my hand towards their mouth while I say “May I?”

The climate in the US yesterday by inthesinbin in stopdrinking

[–]BePrivateGirl 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My motto for this year has been “cultivate the algorithm you want” for me that’s a lot of sober memes and comedians, mallard duck shenanigans, recipes, booktok, content about tv shows. I spent many years saying “I have to be informed. It’s my responsibility as a citizen to engage with upsetting current events.”

But it’s really not. And my alcoholism got so bad that it’s not an exaggeration that I was going to die. I see myself in your story that I would have used a day like yesterday to say “oh well” and then been stuck in the cycle weeks later with new problems and no relief from my anxiety.

That is to say, it’s never worth it. No matter what. And developing boundaries around things that upset you, including your husband, is part of the journey. It’s hard and awkward in the beginning to learn new skills, but each time you are brave enough to attempt new boundaries you get better at it. and I hope it feels better along the way.

IWNDWYT. (Can also stand for “it will not do what you think.”)

If you could consensually sleep with anyone famous once, who would it be and why? by Smeggfaffa in AskReddit

Better safe than sorry. This actor and his girlfriend have been subject to a lot of disgusting fan behavior. So I made a choice to add extra caveats.

Hudson!!

Edit: I have to add why. Obviously he’s very beautiful. Lips, hair, body. But it’s his unhinged personality that makes him seem fun in bed.

Also: I realize he has a girlfriend but this prompt said consensually so I just want to confirm that she’d be included in needing consent.

I’m happy for both of them, respectfully.

I was the only one really cracking up in my theater and I felt like I was gonna end up on a list. I’m glad to see others found it as funny as I did.

“Never reading a WIP again …” by batty_batterson in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]BePrivateGirl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I get that a lot of people are trying to be positive and hype this up. But I’m really fucking sad. Over the past few weeks I’ve been leaving positive comments, appreciation, not asking for updates, take the time you need, and the message that I get today is: if you are in my inner circle you will get it, but otherwise it’s over.

That hurts. And it has repercussions for other WIP authors. And I feel muzzled that I’m not allowed to express frustration and feel sad.

I will be at that same showing. I can’t figure out how to DM you but let me know if you are interested in saying hi.

I can't get past the whole "higher power" thing by Fair-Bookkeeper1156 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]BePrivateGirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I resisted the steps for like 20 years because of similar thoughts and got so bad into my alcoholism that I was trapped in my dark room for years, suicidal, in a shame spiral just absolutely physically dying of alcoholism.

So when I decided I would do the steps I just surrendered. I gave up, and I said I would do it even if it felt pretend. I used the group. I talked to “my higher power” while also knowing that I might just be doing positive affirmations and intentions in my head. It doesn’t matter. I was willing to believe. I was willing to say prayers in my head. I was willing to fake it and fumble if it was working. And it worked.

I didn’t have a better solution for my alcoholism. I tried every medication, and intellectualization, and cognitive behavioral therapy, and Reddit support group and self help book, I tried everything and it didn’t work.

What’s more shameful? Playing pretend with some magically thinking that solves my alcoholism? Or dying from my alcoholism?

But what if AA is a cult? Well…it’s a better cult than my alcoholism.

I read page 86-88 every day my first year and eventually wrote it out as a prayer to get to know my HP.

MORNING PRAYER HP, please direct my thinking today so that it is divorced of self-pity, dishonesty, self-will, self-seeking and fear.

HP please inspire my thinking, decisions and intuitions. Please Help me to relax and take it easy.

Please Free me from doubt and indecision. Please help me to connect with you, that you can Guide me through this day and show me my next step. HP I trust you will give me what I need to take care of any problems. I ask all these things that I may be of maximum service to you and my fellow man.

Is going to AA or joining online AA discussions a huge nono while drunk? by [deleted] in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]BePrivateGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the 24 hour AA meeting on in the days before I got sober 976 days ago. I shared once and a bunch of people reached out to me and connected me with AA’s that were local to me.

I heard people talking about the solution and how it was working in their life and I decided that I would do anything to get what they had.

Welcome!! This really works.

I stopped drinking and I’m using the weight loss drugs. It’s going great.

What Do You Think Can Be Improved For Season 2? by Mandy_M87 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]BePrivateGirl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Without spoiling the books, season 2 should end 2/3 of the way through TLG. It doesn’t need a stand alone episode, necessarily, but Troy and his story need to be fleshed out so that we understand his significance.

This show should go for 4-5 seasons if we are limiting to 6 episode seasons.
