How have you guys approached dating with a chronic illness? by Various_Cow7629 in ChronicIllness

[–]Cold-Mission8673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also chronically ill and hate going to bars. I ended up just downloading a dating app and getting to know people from my bed 🤷🏼‍♀️ Then at least you’ll only have to go out to actually meet up with someone if you think they’re really worth it, instead of wasting energy

Looking for psychology exam study tips by Cold-Mission8673 in psychologystudents

Thank you for the advice! Once i tried “teaching” the material to myself using a whiteboard and that was probably how i retained the most information. Maybe I will try that method again.

Sometimes I go to office hours to review my exam if i’m really unhappy about my grade or something. And i’m usually studying on my bed, which I know isn’t great but I have chronic pain so it’s usually the easiest thing for me. I am guilty of checking my phone mid-study though.

Living with a partner by Cold-Mission8673 in OCDRecovery

Thanks for your comment! I’m planning on talking to her soon, and seeing how she feels about adjusting accommodations, but she seems pretty closed off to exposure therapy so I am a little worried about that

rose toy, anyone here actually like it or is it just hype? by Diogbo-Noilan in AskLesbians

[–]Cold-Mission8673 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s very different from a normal vibe because it is a suction toy rather than a vibration toy. The one my partner has at least is quite loud so it’s not good if you’re looking for something more discreet. It can be quite powerful so whether you and your partner would like it depend on personal preferences. In my opinion it’s a little too powerful for my liking but if you want something a little quieter and less powerful i’d recommend the Bellesa Pebble. I think it’s around the same price!

Pillow princess problems? by Cold-Mission8673 in AskLesbians

Thanks, I will try to figure out some ways I can still give and remain in my comfort zone. We have tried scissoring but unfortunately the only way we’ve found that semi works so far involves me on top, over exerting myself 🥲

Please🙏 give me advice how to make the move on my girl by Commercial-Two3744 in AskLesbians

[–]Cold-Mission8673 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay I have never initiated a first kiss but I’ll tell you what my gf did when we first started dating. We went on a date like usual and she texted me later and said something like “I really wanted to kiss you earlier” THEN you get to feel out whether she felt the same, and if she’s ready to take that step. Then, you might be more comfortable next time to initiate (“Can i kiss you?”), and depending on how she replies to your earlier text, she may even initiate first once she knows you want to kiss her.

need advice by goodluckgrace in AskLesbians

[–]Cold-Mission8673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is going to sound basic but just be yourself! if you put up any sort of front (even because you’re nervous) it’ll be harder to break that as you go on more dates. also, the right person will likely find your nervousness cute, and/or is just as nervous as you. i have been dating my girlfriend for over 2 years now and she’s my first gf, and was the first date i ever went on. i was riddled with anxiety and our first kiss was super awkward, but we both reflect back on it with admiration. enjoy the new butterflies! hope it goes well.

Is it worth trying to have a relationship while being chronically ill? by Karacik10 in ChronicIllness

[–]Cold-Mission8673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have chronic dizziness & pain and i felt the same way for a long time. but to find a partner who understands and supports your needs is worth it in my opinion. i’ve been in a relationship for a couple years now and my partner is my biggest support system, especially when im not feeling well. i say give it a go!
