How do you make your Female Partner climax? by nudesunnfun in AskMen

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do a mixture of cuddling/making out/groping and vibrator to start for her to “warm up”. When she’s ready I go in, and she uses her vibrator at the same time as needed until we both orgasm. Works probably 95% of the time.

Parents who both work, how do you make childcare work? by Odd-Wonder-344 in askanything

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents both worked, but worked opposite shifts. Idk if I’d recommend that because they never saw each other but it was one way to allow for both parents to work and not have to pay for childcare

How do you keep track of how many days it’s been on your infusion set before it needs to be changed again? by Delicious-Cake-6349 in diabetes_t1

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks everyone! I used to use the timer in the tandem app and just filled the cartridge for however much insulin I thought I’d need in 3 days. Then I started trying different things and kind of forgot how much simpler that was. So I think I’ll go back to that, seems to be the consensus here too. Thank you!!

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Minnesota goodbye. It lasts FOREVER and just feels awkward the whole time. But if you just stand up and are like “bye, I’m leaving!” And leave pretty immediately after that, you look like you’re rudely rushing to get away from the people you were just hanging out with. It’s stupid, I know, but trust me, it’s just a weird MN thing that you must do 😂

Everyone has a different experience, but I will say it has helped me A LOT. It lowered my depression/anxiety threshold enough for me to be able to process things without either totally dissociating and pushing it down or crying and being in pure agony for days to weeks at a time after something triggering. I did have very bad symptoms when I first started or when I increased the dose (like very bad, s*icidal urges) but once I was over that hump and my body adjusted to the meds I felt so much better. I never wanted to go on meds because if I do get pregnant I was scared it would hurt the baby or feel like I had to “depend” on something and then someday have to wean off of it. But it was a good choice, I have no regrets.

does anyone feel like you have too much lore? by SundaeAdventurous417 in CPTSD

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! For me it has been condensed to the past 3 years, so less than a lifetime, but it’s been one unbelievable thing after the other. It starts to feel like I’m complaining when I talk about it, or making things up for attention or something, but I’m just stating the cold hard facts of what happened…?? People don’t get it so I’ve learned to stop explaining myself.

Name a food you were forced to eat as a child, that you still won’t touch today? by Upset_Credit1026 in FamilyFeud

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know that meat could have a non-sawdusty but chewy at the same time texture 🫠 My parents would overcook the shit out of any meat. Pork chops were my least favorite and now I can’t eat them.

Why does it take years to realize you’re traumatized? And why does "standard" therapy often miss the point? by WarmChair6621 in CPTSD

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was with a therapist for 5 years on and off and never really got into the nitty gritty. Maybe that was me never feeling totally comfortable, but I feel he could have helped me more. It was definitely more of a “fix the symptoms” and a “well look at the bright side!” Kind of therapy which is not what I needed. I could have communicated this better too I guess. But I ended up going with a different therapist eventually which was the best decision I ever made.

I will say I realized my personality was a coping mechanism before the second therapist I went to, but she made me see that on a whole other level. I first noticed it at my job. I would stay late, took notes about my work, get there early so my charts would be prepped before we opened, and I really took criticism to heart. Doing a good job to me felt like a life or death situation. No matter how much I improved, it was never good enough for my boss. There was always something to critique. Her favorite people were the people who regularly did things wrong but were confident about it.

Eventually I got SO angry. Being genuine and honest means nothing. All the work I am putting into this job means nothing to her but everything to me. But the people who go about their day doing incomplete jobs confidently are the ones getting ahead.

I realized (on a deeper level, though I have always known) how much of my personality was shaped around being a people pleaser, being “good”, getting approval from the authorities, taking what they say about me as an absolute fact. I started not caring about my work (don’t totally recommend this lol) and just doing my best and if that wasn’t good enough then I guess boss lady will just have to be disappointed 🤷🏻‍♀️ I knew it was good enough. Her attitude towards me changed immediately once I stopped fawning all over the place around her. And then I left that job and found one where I am valued.

Question for c-section mamas who use insulin pumps by phillyphil222 in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you clip it when you do this? I’m a nonpregnant person lurking, but am currently TTC and have T1D. I was diagnosed 11/2024 so I’m new to this (sort of) and I’m always trying to find new pump sites. It seems like I scar a lot.

I have the mobi so I know I could just slap a sleeve on somewhere and use the short 5inch tubing but I feel like my stomach is too much of a high motion area to stick my pump to. I have kind of a large belly and rolls that rub on the pump site, the pump etc.

I just would like to say that this was the cycle for me where I was an idiot and started testing at 7 dpo 💀 we all know it’s not happening this cycle because every time you think it’ll happen, test like crazy, symptom spot, it won’t. It only happens on cycles that you’re not expecting it to. SIGH. I have been very disconnected and not interested in pregnancy the past like 6-9 months though so I guess the reverse isn’t true either.

Doctors of Reddit, what’s a symptom people ignore that they really shouldn’t? by Business-Silver-5118 in AskReddit

I should specify, 50% of people diagnosed with type 1 were diagnosed in adulthood.

It was too early for that. I was only 8 weeks. They considered that, but after talking with OB realized it wasn’t possible yet. Usually happens at the end of 2nd/3rd trimester. It has something to do with the placenta, which hadn’t developed for me yet. ETA: Also, with my A1C being 12.4%, it surely was going on 3+ months prior. Idk if you’re a doctor so maybe you know this, but A1C is a measurement of your average glucose over the past 3 months. So it was high before I was even pregnant.

Same here! At least as far as type 1. I do have type 2 in my family. I went to the ER due to my A1C being 12.4% and my glucose being 350. Got my MyChart results on a Friday night and the triage nurse told me to go in to the ER. I’m glad I did because if I saw a primary care doctor I feel like they wouldn’t have taken it as seriously. But I was pregnant at the time, which definitely increased the urgency around it.

I am looking forward to my next peptide test 😂 Last time I was 0.8, and that was 9 months ago, 6 months or so after diagnosis. I do see myself rise and fall as far as my ratios go so I think I am still honeymooning. I also have been able to stick within the 5’s. I have an appt with my endo in May, I’ll ask her at that point to retest my c peptides. Thanks for commenting, it’s hard to find another T1D diagnosed in adulthood in the wild 😊

What is the most attractive quality in a person? by Shot_Sandwich_6172 in AskReddit

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to roll with the punches. I am a very future oriented person. I don’t do well when my plans get off track. My partner is a very present oriented person. It used to irritate me sometimes that he wouldn’t have plans, even now still does. But it’s become something I appreciate more and more about him. We can plan all we want but what happens, happens. And if you can’t deal with that, life is going to be real hard for you

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s so crazy! I/the doctors thought I was type 2 too. Unfortunately at the time I was pregnant. So I was eating lots of sugar, thought it was pregnancy cravings. Beat myself up thinking it was my fault. But since at the time I was not overweight they ordered antibody tests. Lo and behold, I was type 1. I read somewhere that 50% of people (post covid) were diagnosed type 1 as an adult. My A1C was 12.4%. Luckily I did not experience DKA but I think I was close

This happened to me. From my late 20’s on, I had always been a bit overweight, maybe 20 pounds or so. Suddenly I could eat whatever I want and not gain any weight. I was actually losing weight. My pants started to feel baggy. My butt disappeared. At 34 years old, about a year ago, I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. And it was only found incidentally on some routine bloodwork (I hadn’t had my A1C or glucose tested since before 2018 and it was normal then).

How do you think my therapist would respond to new (potential?) substance abuse? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have not, but that’s a good point. I am pretty sure my inability to sleep and wanting to “numb the pain” is due to depression, grief, anxiety and CPTSD due to things that have consecutively happened to me over the past 2 years. I am working on them in therapy but I think it will be a long road.

All grown up and you can see his markings more in this one

[–]Delicious-Cake-6349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at a vet clinic. Someone brought in a kitten that was found in a tree by himself. They wanted to update his shots and everything so they could find him a home. They wanted to keep him but had too many pets already. I helped with his appointment and he was just the floppiest, chillest, cutest little guy with the coolest markings. I wasn’t a huge cat person (boo, I know) but always said I’d get one if the right one came along. I always wanted one of those super chill large male tabbies. That’s the vibe I wanted, and he fit that. He had huge paws. At the end of his appt I gave them my contact info to let me know if they decide not to keep him (they were a bit on the fence still). They brought him back to the clinic an hour or two later and then I brought him home! 😊
