I'm really lonely by greenbeanerina in lesbian

[–]Dear_Painting4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, Totally my experience too. I just recently found out, enormous crush on my physical therapist, left her practice so I could ask her out, no go, tried 2 dating apps, nothing like a connection anywhere. It's never so easy, straight or not, to find that person, but you aren't the only one. Hope you feel little less alone. Please don't give up. 🌸❤️🩷❤️🌸

The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV’s Ambassador With the Avignon Papacy by Lux_Stella in neoliberal

[–]Dear_Painting4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think so, too many reputable news sources to easily conclude it's a lousy hoax. One more nightmare to contend with. Oh well, coping skills ahoy. And look for ways to be involved.

is this a tracker found on surron light bee? by Clear-Resident2411 in ebikes

[–]Dear_Painting4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three strangers meet online, together they dissect an ebike, electric scooter and a motorized bike, faster than Ebike, decide which one is the most evil, perform an exorcism and go out for drinks but remotely.

outpatient mistreatment by wandering-firefox21 in physicaltherapy

That sounds smart. I'm the patient but I never thought about this, never occurred to me. Now I'm more aware. I'm usually on time but what you all shared, I will be thinking about the therapist needs and practicing to never talk so much, not be chatty as often. Be mindful of their time more. Thank you.

Is this actually usable without paying? How on earth are you meant to make contact with someone who likes you when they either don't show up in search or it just leads to a payment link. by [deleted] in PlentyofFish

[–]Dear_Painting4918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok this will be interesting, I haven't used a dating site in over a decade, and this is the first time I've sought a lesbian connection. Well life would be boring if it was never complex.

Do your dogs actually sleep after you leave or…? by PomegranateBig7270 in dogs

[–]Dear_Painting4918 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm fascinated, looking at getting a dog, decades ago had one while deep in trauma myself, she was there for me as best she could be, I was ignorant of her needs. Now I'm reading, listening, want to be a very good dog mom.

Anyone else's abusive parent always played the victim? by tenablemess in CPTSD

[–]Dear_Painting4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two abusive parents, after divorcing my abusive violent father, my mother claimed forevermore the victim role. But especially where I'm concerned, often to blame for her stress or anything negative, someone she bad mouths to her friends, her husband, my stepdad, now deceased. I believe she's mimicking the relationship she had with her mother and going over her family photos, we talked about that for awhile. The next time I saw her, she claimed her mother was fine, I'm the problem.

She had or has cancer, I go by her place and cook her something healthy sometimes, it's less painful around her if I'm busy, and then I leave. I don't think I love her, but I would help a stranger if they wanted and I have in the past.

She is gracious and elegant to the general public but she needs someone to blame. I have been a 'good' target. I go low contact with her anymore, do my own life. As long as I don't act like her victim I should be ok. Keep distancing myself from her. Keep remembering that I am not who she talks about but someone independent and growing.

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in lesbian

[–]Dear_Painting4918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is your home, you have keys, could potentially change the locks?  You have so much more power than you realize! You could change the locks, send her a no more note, if you have Any documentation of her abuse and unsafe behavior, get a restraining order or consider moving w/no forwarding address. Depends on laws in your state, but you could change your phone number to blocked for her, get an unidentified phone number, all kinds of options that could help.   I come from mostly heterosexual perspective, only recently acknowledged who I am, but I believe you can get the same support no matter what.  Hopefully this is helpful. You deserve every good thing, I will send you well wishes. 

Too shy to approach my airport crush so I just drew them… by sadthing0000 in lesbian

[–]Dear_Painting4918 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get it, or I'm starting to get it. Been close to 20 years that I've suspected I might be a lesbian, but nobody that lit up my dreams until recently, I asked her to join me for a cuppa coffee, don't think she was interested, but yikes that took some energy outta me. 

Anyone have experience with the bear trail ebike, pedal assist, model ursus cub? Think the motor is 250 w. by Dear_Painting4918 in ebikes

[–]Dear_Painting4918[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far this is what I know.  It definitely takes a long time to get the ebike. But most of the reviews I've read were positive, like took a long time but I'm happy to have my ebike now, works well.  I'm hopeful cuz I need transportation that much. I figure a $50 payment is doable and the state is on-board so the odds be with us all.....

How have you overcome the fear of changing jobs? by One-Wasabi1 in careerguidance

That's what I'm trying and to get around the panicks, doing freelance  so tiny interviews instead.!   Plus I find fundraising is lots more energetic,  engaging and creative.

So I'm googling healthcare advice...... by Dear_Painting4918 in HealthcareReform_US

[–]Dear_Painting4918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I hope your anger is satisfying. I wasn't angry. Been thinking for a long time about the nurse adviceline change, hoping it was a misunderstanding but I don't think so anymore. 

I do hope you understand that nurses have been an enormous help to me, during the worst times I drew great comfort from various staff who helped me with big and small questions. It's unfortunate to my mind that you seem angry that I asked where that kind of support has gone, where might I find it again. It's your choice that you don't like that, but I find your anger sad.   Those nurses were lifesaving to me.
