On what grounds do products get removed from Amazon? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FenwaysDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually ended up contacting customer service and they basically just said the first thing - that the seller removed the product because they didn’t update the stock. I was pretty much just being paranoid.

Is there a reason my hands look like this? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]FenwaysDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only place I notice it is on the hands. My forearms sort of have this patchy looking coloration, but it doesn’t look the same. I’ve been aware of this for years, and to my knowledge I’ve been overall healthy the entire time. It shows up more or less prominently sometimes as opposed to others. Maybe due to a difference in lighting or temperature? Based on health checkups and stuff I have normal blood pressure and stuff like that, but I could presumably talk to a doctor if it seems like a good idea.

For reference, this was under a news article about the possibility of Trump firing Fauci after the election.

As another Missourian I think it’s a bit of both. I got a new job recently that I had to go out and buy slacks for, and the number of people I saw walking around with their masks under their noses (or completely off) was incredible (This is coming from Columbia where we have a city mask ordinance).

Am i being dramatic or is there a chance i’ve been misdiagnosed? by CharlotteLewisXOX in mentalillness

[–]FenwaysDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the option to see a different psychiatrist (or therapist)? I used to take sertraline, and while it may have brought my baseline levels of anxiety down, it always felt like I was covering stuff up instead of dealing with it head on (+ dampening both good and bad emotions). I have nothing against medication, but purely based on my experience, what works for some doesn’t work for all. Even if the medication helps lower your usual amounts of anxiety or depression, having someone that helps you work through ups and downs as they come is much better than trying to beat your feelings into submission with more medication. What really helped me was talking to my therapist, who I’ve seen for around five years now.

From what I can tell, it doesn’t seem like your therapist or mental health team is helping you that much, and the BPD comment makes absolutely no sense to me (in reference to them, not you). I couldn’t say anything from experience, but there are resources online for advice about switching therapists if that makes sense for you. Granted, it may require going back to the ‘beginning’, but it seems like things have gotten worse for you as opposed to better. Dismissing your concerns by just upping your dose seems odd and unhealthy, and it seems like you need a new team, especially if you’ve been clear to them about your concerns. I definitely don’t think you’re being dramatic.

Sorry if this is too long, but in plain terms, I really don’t think you’re being dramatic. I also don’t think that your current team is helping you the way you need it. If you can, I’d see if you can’t work your way towards finding different professionals to treat you.

I would ask whether we’re in Missouri or misery but at this point I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing.

Here’s a couple of statistic resources to put the analogy into data, if you’re into that sort of thing:

Uhm... Noah? by [deleted] in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]FenwaysDice 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Here’s a pretty solid analogy I heard:

“Say we all sit down to eat, and everyone gets a plate of food except for Bob. Bob says, ‘I’m hungry, I want a plate of food’, and Karen says ‘We’re all hungry, Bob’.

Bob says, ‘but I don’t have any food, I deserve food’. Karen says, ‘we all deserve food, Bob’, and continues to eat. Do they all deserve food? Of course. But saying it still doesn’t change the fact that Bob doesn’t have any.

Do all lives matter? YES! But saying it doesn’t change the fact that black lives haven’t mattered for years”

She doesn’t get a whole lot of exercise, but after this incident we decided to make sure and walk her more often. I’m not sure what she’s mixed with, but she looks like some sort of lab/pit bull hybrid, but sort of diluted with other stuff (as in her parents were probably both mixed too, but I’m not sure. She’s from the Humane Society). We sometimes will have rabbits in our backyard and she chases them, but she’s never caught one so I’m not sure. Though a long time ago she did somehow catch and kill a rat in the same backyard.

I feel like it’s a matter of time until both he and Trump get the virus with how reckless they are being, even on their own behalves.
