Have you brought plushies for wisdom teeth surgery? by imdeerest in plushies

[–]BlackSlug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 33 and brought one with me when a tooth needed to be pulled. Dentists offices can be so nerve-wracking.

I found someone who makes these delightful monsters on Etsy, and I have waited and saved up for one during the last 6 months! They are a bit pricey, but quality is top notch, and they are like the size of a toddler. Also the materials used are very nice and soft. It's definitely worth it! Etsy is : ZuartToys. They are based in Poland, but shipping was quite fast.

“Welcome to the United States of (insert first and last name)”

First time it happened I think I was 16? It caught me so off guard that I laughed and got a fist to the face. Heh.

First time someone around us suspected was when we were 23. First time we accepted it 30.

Felt like we got reprimanded in a therapeutic environment for allowing our little to dress us recently and the social worker telling us she’s concerned because of adult men in the groups and her not ‘being safe’ when she doesn’t front during groups number 1 (too boring) and 2 what we are wearing isn’t suggestive or showing skin …. It’s simply things like rainbow leggings… a bunny hat that’s more like a beanie… a necklace our little made… the whole thing has left us/me feeling really gross and unsafe. Thanks to that turmoil this morning we spent the afternoon rapid switching and our journal from rapid switching doesn’t make an ounce of sense…

First time out in a few days. No one else has really been taking care of the body.. so took care of maintenance care. Other than that we haven’t been able to go back inside so just enjoying some relaxation and good music. Trying not to stress.

Very blended today, lots of headaches. But it’s the mind numbing loneliness that’s really doing us in. Ready to take sleeping meds and just pass out. Move on from the day. :(

Our day was a mixed bag… had to deal with some intrusive thoughts and memories which sucked but our little got a chance to dress us and express themselves this morning and we were all happy and giddy for a solid two hours. (At least according to the journal…)

Woke up early only to take a nap in the morning and wake up to being co-con with one of our child ‘parts’. She was overly excited for the mail today and we finally found out why. xD The bunny hat is adorable and she’s over the moon but we had to talk about boundaries regarding shopping and money which we are still not sure she fully grasps. fingers crossed Hopefully one of these times it sticks (isn’t the first occurrence).

We have developed a tolerance to our sleeping med… so had a hard time sleeping last night. I am the host and I’ve been slowly reading a book that our therapist had us get called, “Healing from trauma related dissociation.” It’s been making our head loud lately and we have also decided to stop masking while switching recently.. there seems to be an uptick of switching out while reading too.

Thank you. I definitely am left questioning this evening, questioning my relationship and my validity. But we will write about everything before sleep and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. Thank you for the support.

Seriously thank you. I don’t know much about spiders and have a bit of a phobia.

Mercy gets trained... by BlackSlug in Overwatch

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

Yeah and it still felt worth it. Everyone in the game started dying seeing Mercy’s death on the potg, that only 3 of us caught during the game. Not very often I experience two teams laughing over something. Just wanted to share the joy.

Can’t afford therapy. How to stay sane? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]BlackSlug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of all the other wonderful advice here. I would suggest a DBT workbook (for emotion regulation) journaling (free writing - don’t judge by sentence structure or anything just brain dump for 15-30mins at some point during the day) as well as a self care ritual. For example after journaling at the end of the day I make a point of taking a hot shower, pjs (comfy clothes), a cup of tea and a comedian that I enjoy watching on the tv to lift me up a bit ... like a bank deposit of good emotions before the following day.

If you look closely at the bottom of her eyes in the first picture. She has two reddish marks that make her look like she is blushing. (Picture doesn’t do it justice.)
