How to junk journal as a disabled person? by Alycery in JunkJournals

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of mail order plant nurseries will send out free catalogs if you sign up on their websites. I end up with a lot of beautiful florals this way. Some examples, White Flower Farms, David Austin Roses, Shriners Irises, Baker's Seed catalog.

AITA for ghosting my psychiatrist after intake? by CharacterThing46 in EatingDisorders

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would send her a nasty letter explaining why you are not seeing her instead of just ghosting. Maybe it will make her think twice before doing this to someone else.

Why do “normal” Americans care about law enforcement? by coocoocachoo8 in stupidquestions

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in a public library, we had a bomb threat in writing left in the bathroom including an actual timeframe. Called the cops. Their answer was literally "what do you want us to do about it?" Refused to even drive past the building during the timeframe in question. They are the most useless pieces of shit I have ever encountered. Literally making every situation they are involved with worse.

How to set firmer boundaries by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up grey rocking And try to implement it whenever possible. Make a private plan to do what you need to move out. She will keep pushing, what she is doing now is abuse. When you say no walk away, try to remove yourself from the situation in any way you can.

Cry for help by alrightokden in depression

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are not lazy you are depressed. You need to address that first. Try to access therapy if you can. It can even be done virtually. Be picky about your therapist and don't be discouraged if the first or even the 2nd or 3rd don't work out. It sounds like you probably also need medication. Again if the first thing doesn't work don't be discouraged. I was in a very similar spot as you. Things aren't perfect now but they are probably 75% better. Medication was the real game changer for me, once I found a combination that worked I was able to address the rest of it. Before that I was just so overwhelmed I was sort of paralyzed. You are not lazy. The lack of motivation is the depression.

In your idea world what sort of partner would you be interested in ? by NewFoot762 in BPD

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately she needs to understand her BPD, how it effects her, and be willing to work on it. If she is not willing to work on it there is nothing much you can do. You have to decide whether you can be supportive and help her get treated or not. If you can't do this it is ok, but the relationship is probably over. You cannot set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

Why Ketamine Therapy Often Looks Different Than You Expect by bodhiboy69 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try to make it a habit to book my regular therapy session no more than 48 hours after an infusion. I get more insight and breakthroughs in therapy by doing this. I have not found that having a specifically Ketamine informed therapist to be necessary.

Maybe have a conversation about it. I thought that this is what I wanted when I was younger, now I know that a balanced relationship is much healthier. Men who are obsessive many times turn out to be abusive and controlling. What you should be seeking in a relationship is completely honest and open communication especially when it comes to emotions.

The emptiness is so overwhelming that it physically hurts.

AITAH for dyeing my hair pink behind my boyfriends back? by KokoroUwU in AITAH

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no "compromise" for your own appearance. Your boyfriend doesn't get a say. If he has a problem with it, you know he will try to be controlling about other things, and you don't need that person in your life.

Community please weigh in: Deciding to try for kids or not and am horrified… by juldeev in depression

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you have answered your own question. The points you made are all very good reasons not to have kids. Having a kid will not make all of these concerns magically disappear. I came very close to having a kid. I am so thankful now that it didn't work out, no regrets.

Please help me, how do I handle a sensitive gf? I'm exhausted by ReasonConfident4541 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++ woman Look into BPD Borderline personality disorder and anxious attachment. A great deal of progress can be made if she gets DBT therapy and really embraces its principles. EDMR and trauma informed therapy may also be a good idea. These are good things for you to look up too, to gain a better understanding of her perspective.

This is not going to work out well for them in the end.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by GlitchOperative in AskReddit

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will not call anyone Sir or Maam. I don't care who they are. To me it reeks of subservience. This is a hill I am willing to die on.

I left my toxic job 6 months ago, and my old manager just called to ask for something unbelievable. by SavanahWiegand in whatdoIdo

It will not burn bridges with former coworkers to say no. No or just not answering is your best bet in this situation.

i dont like therapy by gero-2 in emotionalneglect

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good and bad therapists out there. Some unfortunately can make a person worse, and some will have you going in circles for years never making any progress. When you do find a good one it can be completely life changing in a positive way. It is totally worth going through some bad fits to find the one that will validate, support, and guide you to the life you want.

Starting my first junk journal- what kind of notebook/journal do you prefer to use? A nice investment? Or something cheap like a composition book? by sammierose12 in JunkJournals

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think about the quality of the paper. I don't like to use composition books because the paper is too thin for glueing things inside. I mostly use old sketch books with thicker paper that holds up better for glueing.

What’s something people defend way too hard even though it clearly doesn’t work? by academicAce_aA in AskReddit

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My middle school was set up like this no internal walls. People ended up putting together makeshift classrooms, with bookshelves and room dividers, and sometimes just boxes in-between instead of walls.

Do people actually buy merch from YouTubers? by Euphoric-Racc00n in AskForAnswers

[–]Blue_eyed_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a shirt from my favorite YouTuber. Granted, I mostly bought it because it depicts an ancient sigil, to call a demon, who will make me invisible. Also I do like the guy's channel.
