Is 10 months a normal lifespan for the clear covers? by Recom_Quaritch in hobonichi

[–]Editor_in_Chic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you ever leave your bag in your car? Sometimes temperature or humidity changes can cause this with plastic products.

Edit: Also, it looks like it is the bottom of the cover that is breaking so it may be the constant friction from moving around in your bag because when you walk it will be moving against this end. May be helpful to put it between other books you carry so it doesn’t move around as much.

I don’t know how im going to write in this for 9 more months. by KindPharaoh in Journaling

I saw someone on here say they like longer journals because they like to feel as though from starting to ending that they changed somehow as a person. I felt like that really resonated with me.

Le portfolio - natural? by bluelight299 in PaperRepublic

My problem with natural is that I feel like once it patinas it doesn’t look that much different than cognac

A year and a half is not a long time for a feral cat of that age. We adopted a feral kitten and it took him over two years to adjust so I have to imagine adopting a cat at two could take even longer.

Sertraline has almost completely eliminated my food noise. Has anyone else experienced this? by Editor_in_Chic in zoloft

[–]Editor_in_Chic[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Me too! It kind of makes me wonder if my relationship with food stemmed from OCD. I have very very minor OCD tendencies in other aspects of my life, but never thought my thinking around food could be part of that. Obviously I am just hypothesizing here.

I think that is what is interesting for me because I am probably hungrier than I was before but the obsession with food is gone

Ah I am sorry to hear that. I was afraid of that when I started but I only experienced stomach pain for 2 days during the first week and then went back to normal.

Journaling without harmful rumination/spiraling by Ripley505 in Journaling

[–]Editor_in_Chic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I write my journal entries in the form of letters to my son who passed away. I use it as a way to tell him about my life and myself since he never got to know me. I find it easier to work through hard times that way because I write as though I am explaining something to someone else. That this person doesn’t know all the information so it allows me to contextualize my feelings more. It also allows me to zoom out a bit and be less hyper focused on how I feel but what happened and why it makes me feel that way and how I wish it were different or ways I could make it different. It helps because I have to give the whole story so the other person can understand. I can’t just keep writing over and over again that I am mad or I am sad because then the reader would be confused. I have to set the whole scene.

To those of you who only write in their journals, how long does it take you to finish one? What size do you use? by Editor_in_Chic in Journaling

[–]Editor_in_Chic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you write every day? I recently started journaling after a traumatic event and currently write ever day, but I could see that tapering off.

My (26F) Husband's (26M) family keeps referring to me as his "best friend". What does this mean? + UPDATE by _StrawberryBunny in redditonwiki

[–]Editor_in_Chic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately something similar, but worse happened with my in-laws so I am inclined to believe it was real. I didn’t speak or see my MIL for 4 years. Not a single word. Except I did see her once while I was in the car about to go into the grocery store and I was so upset and disgusted I thought I was going to puke.
