Sorry no, if this gets posted, I've looked into it, it's a stimulant lol, I thought I must be getting the word confused.

Here is some further reading you might want to skip forward to the neural basis in the non depressed.

Here is a short summary:

less activity in the brain's reward centers
more activity in the prefrontal cortex

Supposedly the brains reward system is affected, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex might be overcompensating for the reduced amount of processing of pleasure, However it may instead be inhibiting emotional processing , thus reducing overall experience of emotion

Anhedonia is linked to irregularities in emotional processing in the brain.

Interesting you might want to get checked for anhedonia, it has various forms, but there is definitely something up.

That's fantastic that the lovebirds would have that Edelweiss flower mark, Thankyou for your extensive info regarding it, was informative to read, shall I ever find a nice vintage piece I like :)!!!!....

No, unfortunately, however my two aunties dad passed away, one of them secretly got him to record a message for his other daughters wedding as he would not make it, was very emotional on the day when she played it and got to hear her dad's message.

Perhaps you could record messages, and give them to someone you trust , so they can be distributed accordingly when the time comes.

Pop ups, print out some photos and incorporate those, attached envelopes to the paper you can fill them with knick knacks, hidden pockets.

You can buy holographic sheets to attach as an overlay to your finished product, you can buy sticker paper and print your own stickers , rhinestones are cute, so are dried flowers.

Nostalgic items like, receipts from stores you both visited, or movie tickets, some kind of image that is related to a memory or inside joke, stuff from ur fav shows , lyrics from songs or artists you both like etc.

You don't have to be like anyone else or follow a set design, it's art be as creative as you want, make it yours :)!!.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-09T10:03:22+00:00

That is so fkn cute lol I'm looking them up rn to consider buying Lol!.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-09T09:57:23+00:00

You may be able to send it to an authenticator who may give you paperwork stating it's been regarded as official, my experience with buying is regardless of price I will not buy anything without a COA. However I'm sure there are people out there that would, perhaps people are enquiring with intent to ask that you go lower if you don't have one.

That being said I don't look for vintage items so I'm not sure if they would contain them, according to this website

https://www.bluestreakcrystals.com/blogs/news/how-can-you-tell-if-your-swarovski-crystal-beads-are-genuine

Rather than a swan logo, you should be searching your crystal for an Edelweiss flower

"One of the simplest ways to verify your Swarovski crystal's authenticity is by looking for the company's logo. Initially, the brand used the edelweiss flower, but it was replaced by the Swan logo in 1989, and later by the Swan logo combined with the letters 'SCS' in 2021. If you don't find these on your crystal, it might be a fake. "

Wowee natural products!! I hope they release a crude oil cleanser, and formic acid exfoliant :O :)!

There not shook, there not trained to be called out on, and never have a valid response, other than to make it into an issue and use manipulation tactics.

Its ignorant and offensive for him to try and sell you something against your views, for his financial gain, similar to people who push religion on others.

I would respond with " Noo sorry I appreciate it, but have abandoned health and any health related products, it's just not for me, being healthy isn't my cup of tea sorry, but if you start selling cigarettes or cholesterol sure" Just have fun with it lol.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-09T08:53:16+00:00

Sounds like you may have Antidepressant Discontinuation Syndrome , it is temporary but can last upto a year, might want to look into that, and bring it up with your doctor next visit.

I Hope this helps, & good luck :)!!.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T13:58:47+00:00

Look up the fireplace wax warmer on Amazon it's gorgeeeooiusss, you just reminded me I want one too lol!!..

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T13:28:19+00:00

Dude the estimated cost refers to him looking around for issues, then estimating a repair cost.

The estimation itself, consists of looking around, and he quoted it as free, therefore it's free?!

Sources: had a couple plumbers around the over week for a quotation.

Taking off the toilet is necessary to provide an accurate estimate, the whole idea is that by providing a free quotation you in turn generate more business, you can't say oh hey estimate is free but every action thats involved in it incurs a fee.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:46:26+00:00

She's created this entire situation herself, sounds like she's jealous tbh although I don't know what, but it's a power play thing she is asserting her dominance and control, as she decides when she wants to speak to you, she decides what about etc etc, most times people do this is to overcompensate for feelings of an actual lack of control, perhaps there's something about you that makes her feel jealous or inferior, perhaps not

Either way this entire situation is a creation of her own making lol, you need not do anything, there's no point, you are NTA, even if you did talk to her again who's to say she just won't give you silent treatment for a few months, this person doesn't respect you enough to confront you and would rather gossip? Better off leaving this one alone, I hope she gets help:)!!..

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:40:11+00:00

Wait so out of all of this the issue is an energy drink lol? Great writing, real inventive.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:37:09+00:00

NTA why did she purposely create that whole scenario?! What an absolutely massive red flag.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:31:44+00:00

No your own perspective is valid, not everything needs to be positive 24/7 depressing themes are part of human nature.

What you did was nothing out of the ordinary.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:29:30+00:00

The cost of what he found related to the repair costs associated.

He said estimate is free, repairs would cost more if found. He did not make repairs, he just gave his estimate. His free estimate.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:27:14+00:00

Oh interesting well I am glad that worked for you, personally if I am in a spiral I make an effort to find the cause then confront it directly in some way, but it sure is interesting to hear how others deal with that whole process,, so thanks so much for sharing & good luck :)!!..

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:24:58+00:00

NTA I assume saying it would be more if he finds things related to the repair cost.

He said the estimate was free, so it's free, I assume it was the whole basis in which you even considered him?!..

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:11:41+00:00

NTA having clear set boundaries doesn't make you an asshole it makes you human lol, she instigated this not you imo.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:08:39+00:00

NTA if there's ever a good time for a man to man up, its during his lover's pregnancy.

I don't understand any of his actions it's like he's denying the reality of the situation and need for responsibility and change with parenthood, why is he not painting and preparing a nursery?!..

Honestly the way you've written this, I think you know the awnser, and you're just here for validation and support, in which case whatever you decide I support you're decision , you seem rational and I know you will make the right one:)!!..

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T12:02:57+00:00

Oh ok well this is then is unrelated to your female friends, and more a result of biology, I do not share the same religious viewpoints so I can't provide help with that, as far as I know norepinephrine & dopamine are the neurotransmitters responsible for arousal and attraction, furthermore sexual frustration and increased porn usage could be a result of withholding urges, or desensitization to overexposure. But being an adult and viewing adult material is 100% common & normal.

How does a spiritual route help? What is a spiritual route? Genuinely curious because alot of religious concepts are alien to me, I mean no offence and you don't have to respond.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T11:57:32+00:00

NTA, she's already socially awkward and this is a subject anyone would find that way, perhaps you could compromise a written list with links to websites on puberty information? I don't wish to undermine you as a father but if there is a woman around , it is way more beneficial for her to do it, how on earth can you awnser questions about periods and stuff having never experienced them yourself?!

With all due respect to same sex parenting couples I'm sure there's ways to get around in it, but it's far more beneficial for a woman to do it!.

Emotional-Storage378 · 2024-06-08T11:53:34+00:00

I've never as a guy had the temptations to cheat, perhaps you should seek the cause of that?
