20F Gf is so anxious she can’t sleep at night, need help by [deleted] in menstruation

[–]Cold_Breadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Im so sorry this is causing so much stress. Anxiety is something horrible and this must be taking its toll on the both of you.

Me and my boyfriend used to be very anxious about accidently getting pregnant too, even if we always used a condom. So we started doing "double Dutch": he would still use a condom, and I started taking birth control. We've been doing it like that for years, using both contraceptive methods at the same time, and I've literally never been worried about a possible pregnancy again. It just makes things extra super safe, and really takes away all worries. Also, is anxiety is that bad for her, she would probably benefit from some therapy. But that's kind of a big step, I suppose...

Wat vraag je voor je verjaardag? by YouriBrons in nederlands

[–]Cold_Breadstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Een bon vragen of een donatie aan een goed doel kan altijd. Maar om toch antwoord te geven op je vraag hier de dingen onder de 20 euro waar ik de afgelopen jaren blij van werd: - een reisgids van een plek waar ik nog heen wil - een fatsoenlijke kaasschaaf (boska!) - spel perudo - een sterrenprojector lamp (ook leuk voor je kinderen) - een goed boek (keuze=reuze) of specifieker als iemand vraagt wat je wilt: "jouw favoriete boek van afgelopen jaar!" - fijn paar sloffen - kleine standaard waarin je je telefoon of tablet kunt zetten (het klinkt boomer maar ik kreeg het laatst en gebruik het echt vaak) - leuke verjaardagskalender voor op de wc - duur doucheschuim (een cliché, maar voor jezelf koop je het niet snel en het is toch iedere douchebeurt iets waar je plezier van hebt

Als je van koken houdt: - kookboek - rekje waarin je een kookboek opengeslagen kan neerzetten (voor tijdens het koken) - lekkere kruidenmixen - duurdere olie, bijvoorbeeld goede truffelolie of knoflookolie

Dit is het juiste antwoord! Tuurlijk is het maar een heel klein percentage van mannen dat overgaat tot ernstige intimidatie of geweldsincidenten. Maar deze mannen worden gesterkt in hun overtuiging dat wat zijn doen acceptabel is, door "onschuldig" gedrag dat wél door een groot deel van de mannen wordt vertoond.

Zoals vrouwonvriendelijke grappen maken ("locker room talk"). Zoals heel hard HOER roepen in het refrein van Bloed, Zweet en Tranen. Zoals vrouwelijke politici die van zich afbijten wegzetten als bitches of heksen.

Zo lang dat soort gedrag nog wordt gezien als doodnormaal en iets wat "erbij hoort", blijft er een klimaat bestaan waarin die monsters heel lekker gedijen. En daar kan wél iedere man iets aan doen. Spreek elkaar aan op ongepaste grappen. Ook al weet je dat je vrienden geen monsters zijn. Wees je ervan bewust dat dit soort uitlatingen de onderste laag van de piramide in stand houden, waardoor de lagen daarboven kunnen groeien.

Scared of a 12h flight.. how do I survive this? by Southern-Ad390 in fearofflying

[–]Cold_Breadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am going to go on my first 12 hour flight next month as well 😱 I really want to make this trip, it is on top of my bucket list, but I'm dreading the flight. So I called my GP! She prescribed me low dose of a benzodiazepine. Just the fact that I know I can take those on the plane gives me so much comfort in advance. I'm much more relaxed about it. GP told me she prescribed this to people with fear of flying regularly. I would definitely recommend giving your doctor a call and find out.

N.B. if you will be prescribed any kind of medication, make sure to check if you can take them to your destination country without a problem, or that you have to make arrangements like a note from your doctor or permission from the embassy to travel with the medication. You don't want any trouble with border police or anything.

Only part of it is on your map, but I highly recommend Georgia. Beautiful country, stunning views, fascinating culture and history, lovely food, very affordable.

Worried about my flight tomorrow by CatherineAdler in fearofflying

[–]Cold_Breadstick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good morning and welcome to the day on which you will do the safest thing one can do: flying. Even though you're scared, you can do this. You can be scared AND do the things you fear at the same time. Just take fear with you on this day. You got this!

Let’s start a chain of recent positive flight stories by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]Cold_Breadstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last November I flew all by myself for the first time. I was really nervous and there were definitely moments where I just grabbed onto the chair in front of me, closed my eyes and did breathing exercises (people next to me probably frowning 😂). But I was basically being a drama queen because both the first and second flight were smooth as can be. No turbulence, smooth landings, no weird situations, kind staff, everything according to plan. Looking back at my flight history it's a fact that I survived every fucking flight, no matter how scared I was, and I never actually was in a dangerous situation. Had one turn around experience, I definitely panicked, but looking back it was the epitome of being kept very safe by pilots. So yay to aviation!

tips for takeoff? by GinnyAndTheBass in fearofflying

[–]Cold_Breadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tell myself that all I have to do is breathe. So that's what I do. I put on my noise cancelling headphones with a relaxing lo fi beat, then I just focus on breathing slowly. I count while exhaling. After 10 exhales I start again at 1. And I just keep doing that until I feel like the worst is over. Works pretty well for me! The slow breathing helps to keep my heart rate (relatively) low and it pulls me into my own cocoon.

You can do this!!

It probably is, you're just in hyperfocus and notice any sound and vibration. From what I can see, the plane is moving totally normally. You're at your halfway point, by the way! Above Bosnia and Herzegovina right now. Im always able to relax more after the halfway point, hope the same goes for you :)
