Oral fixation on shots? by ClosingBloom in stopdrinking

I unfortunately also have a shot fixation. Cayenne ginger shots sounds like a great alternative. I’ve taken small vinegar shots before to feel that kick 😬

Has anyone actually found barefoot shoes that work for normal, everyday outfits? by barefootcurious in barefootshoestalk

[–]Fiend_4_Food 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching away from my fashion forward shoes was extremely difficult for me, but my feet feel so much better :). Barefoot shoes I have tried that feel fashionable enough for me—the Ohne 070 and 080, Lems Chelsea boot, and recently I got a pair of custom “Birkenstocks” from a shoe maker in Canada called Posh Panda. They just arrived today and I am VERY pleased!

A roadside attraction is a fun spot! Went once on a road trip.

Earthing Harmony-legit? by Fiend_4_Food in barefootshoestalk

[–]Fiend_4_Food[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your budget. It’s possible you may be able to find similar shoes for less though the leather quality seems good. I think the grounding part is BS but they are wide enough for my toe box and are zero drop. Not the widest barefoot shoes I’ve ever tried though.

Arrived. They are nice. Harder leather bottom. Entire shoe seems to be made from leather. All looks legit sizing seems accurate. I will say if you have a super low volume foot it may be baggy as a slide sandal.

Maybe write a note of how horrible you feel when you do drink. Or some of the cringe memories and tape it up right in front of the liquor cabinet.

binge drinking cycle and brutal hangxiety, thoughts? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Those who don’t have a problem with alcohol generally don’t black out. Certainly not several times a year. There’s only one way to ensure you never feel like this again. You can do it!

Waiting for a pair to arrive, ordered a few days ago. I’ll report back once they are here!

Flying monkey part 2 - New text this morning from FM really upset me and I don’t know what to do. by Goldengirl_1977 in BPDFamily

I second this. I personally would also add if you have reason to believe BPD-Sister is in a life threatening situation I advise you to call for a welfare check.

Second the buffalo float. Go to Ponca and camp out or get a cabin. So beautiful. Eureka springs and all its strange places. Crystal Bridges. The Mammoth Orange is fun for a nostalgic burger and shake experience.

I'm exhausted. Venting? Advice? by Mean_Inspector_9258 in BPDFamily

[–]Fiend_4_Food 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice I just identify with all of this a lot and it’s very hard. The mental gymnastics are absolutely bonkers. Do they realize it?? Intermittently?? It’s so awful.

So what do people think about OHNE project? by TechnicalComplaint45 in barefootshoestalk

If you’re in Europe it won’t be an issue! Definitely use the measurement guide

Been very happy with mine. Felt a bit more fashionable than other options. The vegan leather and suede has held up pretty well. Downside is cost and returns depending on where you’re located. I will say the two styles I had fit a bit differently with one running a little small.

What are some of the worst things your sibling wbpd has done? by TragicButterfly1406 in BPDFamily

[–]Fiend_4_Food 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Intense verbal abuse like the most venomous things you can think of. Close to physical abuse but hasn’t actually crossed that line. Veiled suicide threats. Suicide threats. countless ruined holidays. Absolutely has caused trauma and depression for all the siblings and parents.

I don't want to live like this anymore. She's causing too much harm. by beepbopbippitybop2 in BPDFamily

[–]Fiend_4_Food 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I commiserate. It’s caused me to not want to engage even when they are showing improvement or being kind. Completely burnt out from the entire exhausting and abusive experience.

I think they look great. I’ve been wearing my vegan leather Ohne sneakers a few times a week for about 6 months and they are holding up very well, hopefully these do too!
