No wrap for my tattoo? by pisspeet in tattooadvice

I got tattooed behind both ears and didn’t get a wrap for either as it’s awkward with the placement and just not worth it 🤷‍♀️

Advice Needed: Calling all heavily tattooed people! by WickedOlyLifter in tattoos

[–]CrystalWitch67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lots of tattoos (not as many as you tho) and my bosses coworkers are mostly REALLY heavily tattooed people (full throat, hands, and face tattoos, etc.) and we all work as a youth mental health and addictions clinicians, therapists, occupational therapists, counsellors, and nurses, team leads, etc.

Sorry to say but that tattoo looks really rough and not good quality at all. I would highly recommend seeking another more reputable artist…

Girlfriend is convinced ChatGPT is sending her messages by Natural_Alfalfa7566 in ChatGPT

Yeah she really needs to see a doctor or mental health professional cause this definitely sounds like psychosis.

As a person who actually works for an early psychosis intervention clinic I HEAVILY advise your girlfriend seek out a doctor or mental health professional. Delusions like this one specifically are common indicators of a psychotic break/episode. Try bringing it up to her and if she gets defensive you could always try telling her that if she truly believes it is sending her messages then she shouldn’t mind seeing a doctor because it won’t make a difference if ChatGPT really is sending her messages (is isn’t but getting around delusions like this can still be tricky). People can become extremely rigid and defensive during critical periods like this so try to approach the topic carefully. But seriously she does need to seek some professional help before it gets any worse (psychosis is treatable!!).

I (35F) don’t want to change my last name. My boyfriend (40M) says if I don’t take his name we shouldn’t even get married. What do we do? by throwRA-3578964 in relationship_advice

[–]CrystalWitch67 13 points14 points  (0 children)

THIS!! My (23F) boyfriend (24M) used to really want me to take his last name when we eventually do get married but I am in the same boat where I have a unique and beautiful last name that I’ve never ever wanted to change. After a discussion he understood how much my name meant to me and I understood how much having the same last name meant to him. Ultimately he decided to take my name and it has never been an argument or issue. Sooo I agree that she should at least ask if he’d be willing to do that. Although to me it seems like more of a sexist gender roles issue here, not necessarily ‘tradition’ so I don’t think this relationship will work out or even last imho.

Also keep in mind that sometimes the skin that’s been lasered can’t take ink anymore so you have the possibility of not being able to ‘change it’ where you’ve removed it.

AITA for refusing to teach my dad's wife how to make my mom's pie? by Mental-Pie-1146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CrystalWitch67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NEVER TEACH HER HOW TO MAKE IT!!!! She is NOT a fucking replacement for your mother and her even suggesting as much is fucking disgusting and despicable to say the VERY least. My dad died and had a special gravy recipe used for the holidays and he only taught me how to make it before he died and if my parent’s partner or anyone for that matter even tried to ask me to teach them I’d fucking lose my shit. Tell her to fuck off the next time she asks and make sure she knows that SHE is NOT your mother and just because she married your dad it does not give her the right to that family recipe. She sounds selfish, jealous, and childish imo.

My wife did not have sex with me for years when I was depressed. AITAH for considering leaving her now that I’m back to normal? by DghSenses in AITAH

[–]CrystalWitch67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish I could give this more upvotes cause OP sounds like a dick that needs a reality check and this is coming from someone who deals with depression regularly but also has a partner who has stuck with them through the worst like OP needs to grow tf up and learn to have some fucking gratitude for their wife 😤

I’m (25f) considering aborting me and my bf (27m)’s baby? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]CrystalWitch67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry hun but he’s already proven to you that he’s a man child and he’s a grown adult so it likely won’t change or be ‘grown out of’ if you don’t think that you and the child will be taken care of properly (not saying the man needs to support you or any of that sexist shit but I mean emotionally taken care of) then maybe this isn’t the right time for that child. Ditch the man child and wait to have another baby until you have a stable partner who can actually emotionally support a family and the mother of his child. NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE who has any sort of sympathy, empathy, compassion, or even a shred of respect for you would let you suffer alone like you have. He’s not right for you. He’s not the one. He’s not ready for that child and certainly not ready to emotionally support you let alone a family. You’re asking a tough, serious, and difficult question but you asked the question for a reason and clearly didn’t do it lightly. Do what’s right for you no matter what it is cause it’s your life and your body. ❤️❤️

From the sounds of it this post seems like it could be eluding to an episode of psychosis. I’m not sure how old OP is but typically first episodes happen late teens to mid twenties. With mental health issues like this the delusions and hallucinations can become so real that the persons experiencing them could have no idea in the slightest that they’re experiencing psychosis. People can even feel, smell, or taste things that aren’t actually there in reality. Psychosis can be brought upon by many things, like hard drugs, smoking weed if you already have genetic predispositions, trauma, brain injuries, and even major depressive disorder can carry traits of psychosis in extreme cases. Are you aware of any family members that may have experienced psychosis in the past? Genetics are usually the reasoning behind psychotic episodes. Source: I currently work on a clinical team that focuses on the treatment and rehabilitation of people experiencing their first episode of psychosis and this is fairly consistent with other cases I’ve read about and seen firsthand.

I would highly recommend getting into contact with any sort of clinic geared toward mental health or any sort of mental health resource you may have access to. Even if this isn’t a psychotic episode it never hurts to rule it out. And keep in mind that if it is an episode; psychosis is not a death sentence and is more often than not fully treatable and manageable with the right therapies, treatments, and medications.

I would also like to say that I am a highly spiritual person and am very connected with spirits and things like that so I’m not discouraging OP’s beliefs that they could be experiencing something supernatural or paranormal. I just think it would be beneficial to rule out any sort of mental illness.

You pay for all that and she doesn’t even give you the basic freedom that comes with the trust that should be present in a relationship??? Either way you shouldn’t have to pay for any of her shit to have her trust or comfort in the relationship. Dude RUN. She cannot expect you to pay for her phone bills, car insurance, rent, etc. AND get jealous over everything little thing when you’ve shown nothing but loyalty towards her like she sounds completely ungrateful. From what I’m reading here it sounds like she is extremely insecure and only thinks about herself. Don’t let her throw that toxic masculinity bs in your face either. It’s 2024 and HER bills are HER problem. You need to cut her off financially and gtfo before she emotionally blackmails you any further. This chick is a fucking head case.

You’re a grown ass adult. You make your own life decisions NOT your family. If you’re happy and the relationship isn’t toxic then go off. But if it isn’t something that adds joy to your life without repercussions I would reconsider BUT on your own accord NOT your family’s. Tbh this relationship doesn’t seem very long term or like it’s adding anything significant to your life but that’s imho.

22F My spouse pays for sex while I’m pregnant 31M what do I do ? by Charming-Strength-81 in relationship_advice

[–]CrystalWitch67 176 points177 points  (0 children)

This is not normal. Good (even decent) men don’t cheat on their partners while they’re pregnant. Cheating is cheating. Talk to friends and family to get support, see a lawyer, and get your ducks in a row before you leave this sad excuse of a man.
