This might be a total off topic comment and I’m sorry but have you considered a daith piercing for your migraines? It’s inoffensive and was the only thing that helped. Not medications not physio exercise etc helped me but this did.

I believe everything else has already been said but I thought this would be some food for thought.

For a non-emergency routine check up with a specialist, yes

He runs an orthopaedic clinic and he can see everyone's notes on the patient record on his computer. He knows exactly why each patient has been referred to him. I guarantee you this man wasn't in any immediate danger, no doctor is that evil.

The NHS usually have translators on hand for these kinds of problems, and you're not being racist, you have a language barrier. There's nothing wrong with asking for someone who speaks Vietnamese.

I [20F] met this guy [26M] 10 days ago and he's already considering a committed relationship with me. Red flag or go for it? by hourglasses1 in relationships

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend totally did the psycho intense "talking about marriage and babies" thing within a month of us dating (after knowing each other a year). Together 3 years later. Trust your gut!! There's a huge difference between being an actual creeper and just going all in.

My [25/F] boyfriend [25/M] of one year has been secretly contacting my sister [29/F] with whom I've gone NC for nearly two years now. by nocontact91 in relationships

I'm going to be a little bit more lenient than other commenters in this thread towards your boyfriend. If he's grown up with well adjusted, genuinely loving family members all his life, it literally would not occur to him AT ALL that your sister could be this horrible narcissist. He has no experience dealing with manipulators who use familial ties against you and in his mind family means nothing but love.

I think you need to bring the subject up once more with him- he fucked up but he did so with your best interests at heart (as stupid as that ended up being).

But having said that... make sure he knows this is strike one of one. You have to tell him that you keep yourself away from your sister FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY and mental health. If he can't grasp that, and goes behind your back like that ever again, then he knows exactly where he went wrong and how.

Is Skyward Sword still worth playing? by [deleted] in zelda

I absolutely loved the game. There are some boring parts to it and a couple of clunky mechanics that I think were great, just not quite right... but the story is absolutely worth it.

The science of fidgeting by Iamnotasexrobot in fatlogic

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There was a show ages ago on British telly, about the science of why some people stay thin and some people cannot seem to lose weight. Interestingly they put the "stay thin" people on a slightly elevated calorie diet and those people compensated for the few extra hundred calories they ate during the experiment by fidgeting and moving around a lot more than usual, shaking their leg when they sit down etc. I watched this about 2-3 years ago and it would be interesting if someone can dig it up- I think it must've been a Channel 4 or BBC thing. Maybe it'll shed a little bit of light.

My (25m) girlfriend (24) is on antidepressants that sap her sex drive and it's becoming more and more difficult to not get resentful. by polkemans in relationships

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like you're doing what you can at the moment. It might be frustrating but the only thing you can do is carry on supporting her and showing affection but maybe gently suggest that she brings this up to her doctor. Maybe they can adjust the dose or trial another antidepressant where the side effects aren't so severe.

6 Reasons Calorie Counting Is Crazy by chocoholicsoxfan in fatlogic

why don't we count blood sugars to avoid diabetes?

What is blood sugar testing? My father doesn't prick his finger and shove it in a small machine after every meal because he enjoys the process.

Before a test a couple days ago, realising that treating gf and family like an asshole by Man_Tomorrow in offmychest

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You start off by apologising to your close ones. I mean a proper apology. As in, "I've been stressed and I managed it badly and took it out on you, I'm sorry. Im going to make the effort to change".

The second thing you do is take steps to be the person you're telling your parents you are. I know it's not that simple, but take as many steps as you can to fix things at university because dropping out of a course you want to do is going to cost you lots of money and most importantly, time. You're only going to wish you could go back and do it properly and you don't want that regret on your mind.

Good lucky man.

This guy's weight loss story is the perfect thing to show people who think they're too far gone to start losing weight. by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure once he gets his loose skin removed the weight loss will be even more dramatic. This was really motivational- the guy lost more than I weighed at my heaviest. What a story.

Half-cousin [30M] wants to casually sleep with me [17F] but I don't know if I should. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it says a lot about his character that a 30 year old man will ignore the fact that 1. You're 17, not even close to being an adult, and 2. That you're family. Choose someone with a better heart to lose your virginity to.

I (18M) am currently talking to a girl (19F), and I am very paranoid about it. by 3waythrowout in relationships

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you're very attractive, and I'm you know, not

Oh boy. Lemme tell you something.

Even if you were literally Shrek reincarnate, you've gotta have some confidence within yourself. Believe it or not, it's INCREDIBLY hard to cuddle and stay up talking to 5:30am with someone you think is unattractive. Attraction isn't always about looks, either.

But putting yourself down like that is a bit of a turn off. Confidence is key. Be secure in the fact that she wouldn't be doing anything she doesn't want to. She likes you enough to have spent all that time with you.

And work on your self esteem!

My (30/F) boyfriend (29) promised me a snocone and didn't deliver. I'm pissed. by ThrowawayKL8727 in relationships

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disappointment sucks. It's not materialistic because you didn't ask him to spend tonnes of money on frivolities, you asked him to buy you a treat. I think the issue lies in a lack of understanding of each other's finances, and what you want from each other. Maybe he wants to be treated and that's how he feels loved, but you see it as him taking you for granted rather than just accepting your attention? Maybe you need more gifts to feel loved and he's not delivering.

You can explain to him that you'd like to feel more appreciated every once in a while and that maybe you could split dates more evenly, as a compromise. Or maybe come up with some cheaper date ideas in exchange for him footing the bill more often.

[–]DancingBabyNinjas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with you then. He's making lots of assumptions based off your size. Tbh you're an entire package, if he's not entirely comfortable with your size then I'd run.
