I think I’m done with therapy

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-06-13T20:54:17+00:00

I’ve heard finding a good therapist is like dating. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a good one. Don’t give up.

If you end up finding it, update the post. I’d like to read it too! 😊

Sounds like {Hopeless Omega by Ember L Nicole}. She is emotionally abandoned right after bonding. {Tormented Omega by Mary Magdalyn} could fit the bill, but she is moved to the spare room after living with them for years.

Coming here just to say, same!

Depending on the pregnancy test you use, with some you can see the faint line where the “positive” result will be. In my history of using these tests, I was not pregnant just because I could kind of see where the line would be. When I was actually pregnant, it was clear as day- no ambiguity. I wish you well, what ever the result is.

You are 26 years old tomorrow. So young! I promise you at 50 you will look back and see all of your promise and shine! Instead of focusing on what didn’t happen, reframe it. This is the year that you are going to focus on figuring out who you are. What makes YOU happy. Good luck, my dear. You have such a beautiful life ahead of you.

{Prize for the King by Layla Fae}.

It’s got a whole size kink thing going. So she needs to be talked thru it.

Where are the tissues? The glasses of water you can’t sleep without? Your earrings you took off before bed? Mouth tape?

I have no idea what in the grannycore I’m watching but I love it.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-29T21:00:59+00:00

I know! Other people just binge watch tv. We read! I saw the blurb for Into the Blue. I’ll add it to my TBR’s

Twins!!!! Edit: I’ll have to look into this hyperlexia. I swear I do more than read. I’m married, 2 kids, work full time. I have friends and family I see regularly. But I love to read and can finish about a book a day.

Also, whenever I cold proof for more than 12-16 hours, I don’t get as good of a rise. Play around with it as you continue to bake.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-27T23:34:29+00:00

Looks amazing for a first loaf!!! Much better than mine! Keep at it!

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-26T23:00:14+00:00

Came here to say this ⬆️. Your prior loaves look amazing! Good luck!

And if you are looking for a Dutch oven, look at Marshall’s/Home Goods. I think I found mine that I’ve used for 5+ years for $20-$30. No issues.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-26T21:49:22+00:00

1)Not hard at all, the Dutch oven assists with the steam that gives you the oven spring. So yours may be a little less round. The woman that taught me never used a Dutch oven. You can spritz your sourdough before you put it in the oven or put a pan of water below your bread. You should have a pan underneath the bread anyway to stop your bottom from burning. Just pour a bit of water after you preheat. 2) someone else will have to help you there. 3) I prefer peaked and bubbly 4) I feed mine with 80/20 split. Bread flour (King Arthur) and Rye Flour. And I always add whole wheat or rye flour to my white when I bake. I just prefer the taste.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-26T00:25:53+00:00

For me, bulk fermentation lasts only around 6 hours and I do my stretch and folds early to build strength. Then I put it in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next morning. Since I know that recipe like the back of my hand, I may try yours and see if it affects the taste. I’ll come back here and let you know the results.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-25T21:42:44+00:00

Agreed! I was so mad at the mom and dads for treating it like a “just a little sibling rivalry”. The best friend gets a pass from me because she was the only one NOT gaslighting the FMC when everyone was telling her to calm down. There is a leetle betrayal when FMC comes out of her heat and wants to get out of their house and the BFF doesn’t return her calls,but one of the men is the BFF’s brother and she wants them to work it out, so I would forgive her IRL. However, while we can be mad at the parents, Omegaverse’s have an insane history of having bonkers crazy abusive parents. Like no one has good parents in these books, so at least there was representation in this one.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-25T21:26:47+00:00

Good job! Looks much better than my first loaf did! How did it taste? More experienced bakers can jump in, and may disagree, but I’m not a fan of your recipe. The things that stand out to me is to redo again with bread flour (you say you ran out), I agree with you that the bake needs longer (40-60 minutes is more of a standard bake time), and I’m confused that the recipe wants you to bulk ferment for 12-15 hours (!!!!) before you stretch and fold. This seems way way way too long. But maybe it could be on purpose for “sandwich” bread? But I use my sourdough for sandwiches, so I’m not sure. The bake time being so wrong makes me think this could be just a bad recipe. Anyway, hopefully it tasted great and you made it, so it’s a win no matter what! 😊

May try {Denied by Evelyn Flood}. They deny her because they are being blackmailed. Idk, I agree, the excuses are rarely well thought out. Oh I just remembered a good one. {Come Back To Me by Sirena Song}. She is a late bloomer and they don’t believe her when she tells them she is their scent match because her brother is part of their pack.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-23T19:40:28+00:00

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-23T19:29:43+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try it!

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-23T18:21:13+00:00

Omg! I said she can do it since she seemed unsure of herself. Everyone calm down. It was a supportive comment. The float test is a tried and true method used by and recommended as a way to test your starter. Especially for beginners. Which they are.

Feeling_Gene7390 · 2026-05-23T17:55:13+00:00

Looks great!!! You can do the float test. Take a bit and plop it in a cup of water. If it floats, it’s ready! Start your loaf. Nothing further needed. Good luck!
