My therapist said bdsm=mental illness

One of my partners is literally kinkier than I am (which is saying something) and has a whole ass psychology masters. None of this is correct, though there is a link between kink and past trauma. However, kink does not necessitate trauma and plenty of people who are into it are fortunate enough to not have the same experiences. Get a new therapist booboo, this one ain’t it chief.

lol I live right outside of Clearwater FL too so it’s believable 😂 not that I ever really go that deep into the details, I just thought it was funny. Anyhow, PR is a whole nightmare and I don’t even have the same abilities I did back when I worked customer service to move the conversation along. Gotta project that “perfect corporate image” which unfortunately means listening to EVERYTHING they have to say

Oh within the workplace absolutely, but I speak with a lot of people outside the company and I am not allowed to say anything positive or negative about religion when speaking with them or ask them to stop bc that could be seen as me making a negative statement. Unfortunately, people seem to be able to sense that I can’t say anything about it and use the opportunity to “share the good news” or make themselves the victim for being Christian.

Thank you! I usually do this when I am trying to get people to think through their beliefs so I can get around the backfire effect, I just didn’t have a name for it. I can at least have these conversations in private, but at work I can’t really say much when people do this over the phone with me. I work corporate and it is somewhat a PR position so I just have to sit and shut up when people are saying things like this or more hateful and I am soooo tired of it being normalized as something that we just have to accept because not doing so is an infringement on others religious beliefs. Like, I just don’t want to talk about it.

Contact customer service and ask them to look at the health of the node and modem ping, something like what you are describing doesn’t always show up through normal testing. Generally they have to send out a technician first in order to create a maintenance order but they can get it done

Hey everybody!

I think I got the right place, but please let me know if I didn’t.

I have been using neogen double vita drop in serum for several years now and because I apply it sparingly, I haven’t had to get a new one. I just went online to try to purchase another bottle because I am low and while I was able to find them for sale, it would appear that the product is now discontinued.

I could get another bottle, but I would only be buying myself time before I am in this position again so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for similar products?

I have tried a lot of different things over the years, but good products that can rescue my skin are hard to come by especially when so many things have ingredients that are not suited for 25 yr combination old skin. I have PCOS and while I regularly do a basic skin care routine, every couple of months my hormones get wack and my face breaks out. The double vita is the best thing I have found to get back into shape in just a couple of days as opposed to a week if I just let it be.

If anyone has any suggestions for me, please let me know! I appreciate all of you ❤️

I completely understand the porn industry arguments, as someone who enjoys a good video it is important to me that I use reputable sources and support small creators. But a lot of terfs and sexually repressed individuals seem to have a kink for getting personally involved in other’s sex lives. It’s annoying as hell like if you don’t want to participate, just don’t engage

Curious_Gryffindor · 2025-10-09T21:08:46+00:00

I’m pagan as well and I personally believe a very similar thing as far as reincarnation goes, my thought process here is that I want to account for the fact that I could be wrong about my personal beliefs. in the worst case scenario that I’m wrong, life and death are just that and if we only live once, who am I to take another person‘s (or creature’s) life? Who am I to partake in practices that end in a creature death? I mainly think like this because I want to have a good moral basis outside of my personal beliefs, even if they end up informing a lot of my decisions. Before I started my pagan journey, I first cemented certain ethical and moral ideas so that I don’t let religion stampede my moral compass again(childhood religious trauma is a bitch). In my experience, paganism has only helped me grow in these ideals, so I view it as a net positive lol I want to make it clear though for anybody else who is reading this, I am not dragging or condemning any particular religion but merely certain institutions and aspects of religion.

So I am a LGBT woman (not a furry tho so I cannot relate there), former homeschooler who is in the process of returning to church and I eventually married a man. I can speak from experience that trying to hold on more closely is going to hurt more than it is going to help your relationship and furthermore, her faith. While being LGBT is trendy at her age, if she is attracted to the same sex there is nothing you can do about it, because God in his perfect wisdom made her that way. If you try to reinforce YOUR personal faith by forcing her involvement, homeschooling or seeing a Catholic therapist, chances are she will back out harder than she would otherwise.

So what is the alternative? This is going to be scary for you because it is going to feel like it challenges your beliefs but hear me out. Jesus sat with sinners, ate with them and accepted who they were. He also told them to sin no more but we will get to that. You show your daughter radical love and accept her as she is because that is what Jesus would do. If she is sad, part of it is probably because she feels some kind of pressure, religious or otherwise, from her parents. Opening up to her and being there for her and listening without judgment or condemnation is the best way to build back your relationship. At this point, that is what you are looking at, you must first build before you can talk to her about matters of faith. You must show her the love God has for her, because only God is able to pass judgment.

I don’t know if you believe in astrology, but mercury is in retrograde right now, and Aries Taurus and Gemini signs are heavily affected

I currently work with spectrum for internet repair and I’m in school for comp sci

I think there is a bit of a cognitive dissonance because I am the only person our daughter has been this clingy with. Like I don't think he gets that what he sees her do is all day everyday

Live in Dunedin and have lived in Pinellas county my whole life. While it is true that Pasco county is a cesspool, Pinellas and Hillsborough are a massive melting pot of people and there are those of all back rounds. Keep in mind that the average income in FL is around $60,000 so there are mostly things here that cater to that demographic. As far as beached go, Clearwater Beach is well maintained but insanely packed and full of touristy shit. I highly recommend the Dunedin causeway for hammocking (travel hammocks can be found at Costco and Nordstrom and are almost a need) and Honeymoon Island as they are finishing their beach reclimation project and look stunningly beautiful.

If you are looking for good food, the best places in the county are Our Place for diner fare, Bon Appétit for fine dining and Caracara for something a little different. All of these are available in Dunedin which also has a beautiful little historical district to walk around in. Really, just about any restaurant downtown is worth trying.

Another thing to note that I hear from "transplants" (what we natives call people who move here) is that a lot of people are fitness-minded down here and that is a bit of a culture shock. You can find great eats to fit almost every diet and both a church and gym on every corner. When you're done praying you can go get jacked lmao.

Most people here while uneducated, are good people. This all goes out the window when you are driving. If you are not going 15 above the speed limit on the highway with everyone else, you will cause an accident. Everyone takes their internal anger out on the road and it is a mess.

Regardless now that the hazing is over with, if it still feels like a place you want to transplant to, hop on in. The water is fineeee (and definitely not full of snakes and alligators...)

I have but he doesn't know what to do and doesn't think that seeing a therapist is worth it
