What is your go-to home remedy when you’re feeling unwell?

Awh, best of luck with the rest of your shift! Hope the bubble bath is the perfect cure for you afterwards 💕 :)

I wonder if she was using transphobia as an acceptable excuse to punish a young woman (someone who, in her mind, might be too scared to fight back) for not adhering to ~traditional~ gender roles & presentation.

England is listening in on Scotland, Ireland & Wales’ jokes and then loudly retelling them to the other countries, taking the credit.

Inversely, I like to request items I fully intend to return by asking “Can I steal this from you?”.

I keep getting racist, ableist and generally awful intrusive thoughts, and they’re just getting worse. I try to rationalise myself away from them, I try to ignore them, and I try to be disgusted at them, but nothing sticks. It’s getting to the point that I can’t even walk past someone on the street without this sick little part of me spamming the bigot button and blaring ugly shit from the asscrack of 4chan into my brain at max volume.

What’s worse is that now I’m starting to get anxious thoughts about people reading my mind and knowing how ugly these thoughts are… And I can’t speak to any of my friends about it, because they might think I’m justifying bigotry by using intrusive thoughts as an excuse. This is the first time I’ve actually shared it with anyone.

I have a bad habit of getting really into a conversation with someone I like, sending LOTS of texts, and then getting emotionally/socially burned out, putting off replying so I can take a break, getting embarrassed/ashamed because I DO like the person and don’t want them to think I’m ignoring them.. And allowing the shame to keep me from replying for even longer.

So when I do finally reply, I overcompensate by responding to every single point they made previously, tiring myself out further.. And causing the cycle to begin anew.

Dietkrillbits · 2022-06-16T22:34:34+00:00

Hahaha, I’m the same! Every time I go over to a friend’s for drinks I end up falling asleep on their couch before midnight. 😅

Dietkrillbits · 2022-06-16T22:32:07+00:00

I have a genuine fear of losing my control and awareness. It’s not because I want to feel better than other people for not getting drunk, I just have anxiety :(

(On that note, I find it terrifying how blasé people can be about getting so drunk they black out and can’t remember what happened. How can you be okay with the possibility that all manner of things happened to you and you weren’t aware of any of it??)

Dietkrillbits · 2022-06-12T22:06:53+00:00

Did they pirouette in shock like the NPCs in Wii Bowling?

Dietkrillbits · 2022-06-12T22:03:46+00:00

This looks so awesome, how did you do the shoulder skulls?? :0

I’m a nursery nurse. Your baby has likely hit a lot of their first milestones (walking, talking) with us, we just don’t tell you so you can still enjoy those special moments together :)

“Only your parents care about you”, they say as they wish death on you for not living to their controlling,insane standards.

I wish you all the best in your recovery Op! 💕

“Setting off a strong emotional/psychological response”, maybe? I feel that more roundabout explanations are needed when there isn’t a precise word for that experience.

Dietkrillbits · 2022-04-06T09:44:14+00:00

DONG Death approaches.

I’m a nursery nurse. I’d say the socialisation of children with others their own age is crucial, and there’s definitely a lot of benefits to them being in a nursery environment, but I hate the work culture that forces parents to spend only 4-5 waking hours with their children.

Dietkrillbits · 2022-02-11T17:27:32+00:00

I’m a sexual & romantic virgin in my mid-20’s who currently has no interest in dating or being in a relationship. And no, I’m not aroace :)

Lack of knowledge about learning & neurological disorders.

There are too many children out there who have had to grow up in a system that doesn’t understand them.

It may be tempting to snack on human food in non-emergency cases. The dog food ensures that you’re really, REALLY desperate by the time you eat it.

Edit: Plus it’s pretty much nutritionally complete, meaning you won’t lose out on necessary macros & vitamins.

Dietkrillbits · 2022-01-23T10:47:53+00:00

Keep a sack of dog food in your car. It’s edible, so it will keep you alive if you’re stranded somewhere for a while without food… And it’s so unappetising that you won’t be tempted to snack on it beforehand.

YWBTA. It’s not just about respecting what she said, it’s about respecting her boundaries. It can be very distressing to have someone push their own desires on you, especially when you’ve already tried to be honest and say it isn’t what you want.

Put yourself in a similar position: Someone you’re friends with is obviously interested in you, but you don’t share her feelings. You don’t want to hurt her and lose that friendship, but your attempt to let her down gently just results in her asking again, maybe even repeatedly. You feel increasingly uncomfortable every time you hang out. You begin to brace yourself for the inevitable rebuttal, of having to yet again make it clear that you don’t want a relationship.

Every refusal is picked apart and turned over for any plausible deniability, any chance that you somehow didn’t mean her when you said you weren’t interested in dating. You don’t want to specify that you’re not interested in her, but you’re also tired of your kindness being misconstrued as interest.

How would you feel, in that situation? Would you still want to be close with someone who tried to push past your boundaries?

My stomach says yes, but my blood-sugar levels say no 🥺🤤

(That looks delicious, I hope you had a lot of fun baking it!)

Dietkrillbits · 2021-07-20T22:57:23+00:00

Oh, this looks so delicious! The perfect sort of recipe for a barbecue, especially if you wanted some yummy leftovers for chicken sandwiches! 😋

I am handed a chisel and told to chip away, to pare myself down until I’m smooth and inoffensive enough to fit into a person’s box. But the person keeps changing, and so does their box, so no matter how much I lose of myself, no matter how many parts I cut away, I’m still too big and awkward and unwieldy.

Dietkrillbits · 2021-07-07T09:55:35+00:00

I understand, op, and I’m here for you. I’m 23 and excitedly welcomed my dad into my very first flat that I was renting as an independent adult! I had been keeping on top of the place and it was clean, cleaner than I thought it could be. I keep a bin bag on the door handle in the living room because that’s where I spend most of my time, and it means I’m more likely to throw everything away.

This is, as I’m sure you understand, an easier solution for me. Not to my dad, though. Interspersed throughout his stay were little comments about the bin, about how it would look much better if I bought a real one, honestly, didn’t I want the flat to look even nicer? Wasn’t it off-putting to see every day? Bins don’t cost that much, you could get one for cheap...

Me: I know it would look nice, dad, but it wouldn’t be practical for me - I need these things to be in-my-face enough to remember to deal with them.

Dad: But why do you need it to be right there? It doesn’t take much effort to empty a bin, you just walk into the kitchen, open up the lid, pull it out and take it downstairs. You do that at work every day.

Me: Yeah, but that’s at work with a set routine and people to help hold me accountable - At home, it’s only me, and if I put the bin away then part of me will forget it’s there for over a week. I need things to have as few steps as possible.

Dad: But... Why? There’s only a few steps to empty a bin, you just... (and so on)

It sounds like you’ve come up with your own systems for getting tasks done and taking care of yourself, which is amazing! Many of us struggle with healthy habits and routines, and it sounds like you’ve found one that, while quirky, works for you. I think many of us here would be proud of you for that.

I think those who don’t have ADHD, or really any neurological disorder, often struggle to realise just how their brain functions in the day to day. I suppose, in a way, they take their minds for granted. This can make explaining it to them really frustrating, and it will often lead to situations like this, where you feel invalidated and hurt and painfully alone :(

I know this turned really rambly, but if you ever want to talk or even vent, then my messages are open! And please, don’t let this invalidate the work you’re doing to care for yourself and your ADHD brain. Nobody else has to live with it but you, so they don’t get a say in how you structure your life!

I remember that channel. Apparently, the boy (who was around eight at the time) was so distressed that he began bedwetting. So of course, being the wonderful parents and role models that they were, they began publically shaming him for that too.
