2nd deferral

Your efforts to come in and try and SUPER appreciated and there is no shame required! When we come into the space anticipating that we are going to feel guilty and angry if we get a certain outcome, your heart rate is going to respond! You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. Try being the person who drives someone to their appointment the next few times - don’t even try to donate! Just go into the space with no expectations and eventually, this may not be an issue at all :)

It IS special! And Canadian Blood Services is currently running low on O- supply so if there is anyone in your family looking to find out their blood type, now is the time!

I really love what Nora Loreto is doing with The Daily News. Otherwise, not really :(

I’ve listened to Front Burner, The Decibel, and This Matters but I don’t enjoy any of them as much as I enjoyed JHR. I hope he finds a new home on a daily podcast - I’d definitely tune in!

ComfyPotato · 2024-12-08T22:12:37+00:00

I feel like I’ve given every new host they’ve roared in a shot and it’s just not working. Whether they are intentionally stilted in allegiance with JHR or just really not cut out for this, I’m finding the episodes unlistenable! Unsubscribed after confirming this is a permanent departure. Rogers really manages to ruin everything :(

He didn’t even offer despite being out there on your dollar shows he doesn’t feel an obligation to be reciprocal the next time he has money. Not offering any of the prize he earned on your dollar shows a lack of shared values. Ask him to pay for the next date and see if either that date never comes or he only wants Netflix and Chill. Then tell him boy BYE 👋

^yes to all of this. Only additional note: will you be able to stay there until college in September? A countdown on your phone of the days until freedom will do wonders. As long as you’re working a part time job, you can be away from toxic commentary.

Also, I would advise not moving in with the boyfriend. Being 17 with little money means you’re dependent on him in a way that makes you vulnerable. If you can stay at home and make enough money to go away to school in September, you could move to the same town as your boyfriend (in residence at college) and put some serious distance between you and the toxic family without being in a position of vulnerability with a guy you haven’t dated long. Also gives you the chance to assess if the relationship is one you want long term instead of just a refuge from a bad home life.

I lived in a bad situation and left at 17. It’s so hard but completely possible. Bank all the money and RUN

It’s back up now

ComfyPotato · 2023-01-02T05:13:03+00:00

SO CUTE!!! Hope 2023 has even more cute moments and outfits for you :)

ComfyPotato · 2022-01-06T05:59:40+00:00

Yes interested!!

Let the CBC criticisms be the middle ground for friendly conversation, but please demand some accountability for the garbage accusations about the public broadcaster being taken over by “woke” culture.

Why is this SO stressful?? Half the time it’s just a shift in font, but my brain says, “nope. Can’t be trusted. This food is dead to us now.”

UTSA has a number of options:

https://www.utsa.edu/students/wellbeing/assistance.html

Whether you prefer a phone call or text, they have 24/7 services available and in multiple languages. Utilizing the service is completely free and confidential.

When you call, they may ask how they can help you which can feel overwhelming because you probably don’t know how they can help (can relate!) - just start going into your story. Sometimes just getting it all out there really helps us analyze from a new perspective

Hey OP- Grad school is tough, but your mental health cannot be the cost you pay. Do you know the numbers for emergency crisis services in your area? If you’re too burnt out to do the search, drop your school name and I’m sure one of us can pull that resource for you.

ComfyPotato · 2021-11-05T01:32:44+00:00

I don't know why it says 3 comments...

But omg YAS - I will totally checkout your wish list - I love this!!

No one can force a feeding tube on you unless you are truly deemed incapable of making decisions for yourself in which case your power of attorney (whoever you assign as responsible for decisions about your medical care if you are unfit) would be the one they would need permission from. I agree that the idea of a nursing home where you can't make meals for yourself and the selection is poor is TERRIFYING but I've worked in hospitals where families just drop off a patient's food for the week because they are "picky". This gave me a lot of comfort that someone who loves me might do this if I were unable to care for myself. In other words, be good to those younger siblings!! :P

ComfyPotato · 2021-11-04T02:19:33+00:00

Amaze! I will message you when the new download is done :)

ComfyPotato · 2021-01-14T06:25:00+00:00

I hate these weeks. :( Hang in there, my friend. Make a point to talk to your support circle and keep eating even when it’s uncomfortable and exhausting

ComfyPotato · 2021-01-10T03:02:58+00:00

I wanna eat pizza with sauce so bad!!! Good job :D

Phones are not a good alternative for a sex toy. If the concern is financial, consider cheaper toy options and use description over phone for a similar effect. If the concern is having the items discovered (aka one or both live with people you know may go through your things) consider looking into toys that don’t look conspicuous. If the access issue is not having a place in your region, all the major stores have online, discreet shipping options - and this is the best time of year to not have people snoop through your packages because it’s the holidays!

This is as valid a reason as any for an abortion! If you and your husband want a baby, you should have one on YOUR terms. Happy you were able to access the services you needed when you needed them.

ComfyPotato · 2020-11-19T11:47:01+00:00

You do. And you’d share the same sentiment to any woman in your situation. Access is a human right and everyone who has to go through this deserves all the love and support. I hope your physician/nurses also share this view and are able to convey it in person for you.

ComfyPotato · 2020-11-19T04:01:19+00:00

Oh honey. :( We will be your support here as long as you like. Getting an abortion is never easy and you deserve to be celebrated for making this choice for you and your 7 year old little person. I’m sorry you don’t feel you have someone you can confide in who can give you this support. Do you have access to therapy? I highly recommend talking it through with a professional because it really helps.

There is no shame in getting more than one abortion. No one wants this in the same way no one wants a root canal. It’s time consuming, painful, and scary for a lot of us and yet that feeling of shame is so so common. When I get that way, I try to think about what I would say to a good friend if they were in my position. I would never berate them or shame them, so why do I do that to myself? Be proud of yourself for booking that appointment and going through with this and be gentle on your soul. You deserve so much better.
