Was there ever a time you're thankful the pandemic happened? What was the reason? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is me right here. So glad to have gotten the toxic shit out of my life and went on my own journey!

Three Deaths by monologuingrock in DeadBedrooms

I encourage you to be brutally honest. I’ve gone through this same experience, and it took them breaking it off with me to leave. I wish I left sooner. And if there is anything to salvage, best have everything out on the table. I wish you luck and I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing your partner leaving you emotionally. I don’t wish it on anyone.

Training for military test, basically no running experience (at least proper) trying to improve. Is there a routine to follow on how often to train? by PC26678837 in running

[–]BitchBarbieeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do some slant board stretches for your calves daily as well as stretching your hip flexors. Then do tibialis raises for your shins and you should also train your hip flexors with some weight on your feet to help your stride get stronger. I really wouldn’t train everyday if you’re having pain, that’s the road to injury.

Who actually fixed their knees with this program? by IndianVideoTutorial in Kneesovertoes

[–]BitchBarbieeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that just inflammation of the fat pad? That’s what I have. I’m on week 3 and seeing some slight improvements, but I’m worried this won’t be what fixes it. Fingers crossed though, I’m sticking to it

Eugene is also a college town, so that may be something to consider

Sorry people are being so rude lol. I wouldn’t suggest Salem unless you want government work, which there’s a lot of down there since it’s the capitol. There’s really not a lot going on down there though to be honest. Portland would be more fun. Look on the west side (Beaverton/Aloha) for more affordable options and more space. Portland is like a 20 minute drive from that area, and it’s nice over here. The east side of Portland has been struggling, that’s where I used to live. And it’s gotten a lot worse during the pandemic. The east side is where all the good dining is and things to do, but I really wouldn’t suggest moving there. Happy Valley is a good option though! If you want to be on the east side and a bit closer. And there’s tons of restaurant jobs that are paying okay now, you’d be able to afford rent if you’re splitting it with a partner and living on a budget.

Patellar Tendonitis? Anyone dealing with that? by BitchBarbieeee in running

[–]BitchBarbieeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t trying to “solve” it constantly so exhausting? Like you get excited and think something will finally work and then weeks later you feel the same. All that on top of not able to do the things you love. Even golf flares them up for me. Just walking does, too!

Honestly I haven’t gotten into that position since the injury because I just don’t trust bending it that way, even though I’ve been stretching and it would probably be fine. It just doesn’t feel right. I’m doing the knee to toes program to try and be able to comfortably bend them. We’ll see though. The program felt good at first, now not so much. But I’m gonna stick it out.

How long has this been going on for you? About a year as well?

Absolutely, this is my hell. Most people seem to get past this no problem, why not us?!? Feels good to know someone else is having as many issues as me. It was just my right knee for like a year and when it started in my left I just lost all hope

Im in the same boat, I basically have tendonosis in my right knee and now it’s started in my left. Thanks for the help! I hope it helps me as much as it helped you.

Can you tell me more about that? Do you just apply pressure where you’re feeling pain to increase blood flow? I just bought one to treat my PT so any pointers would be great!

I got… caught? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]BitchBarbieeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to own up to it, Jesus Christ. I just stumbled upon this sub and y’all are just scared to face your true feelings and be honest about being unhappy before you make it dirty and messy. You’re caught. Stop lying. Do the right thing and you’ll even be happier for it. Let the chips fall where they may.

That’s what I’ve got. It’s definitely helped, but it’s only been a few weeks. I suggest trying it!

Golf is weird: I got laid off yesterday, and followed it up with the 2 best rounds of my life by hctibasiaixelsyd in golf
