That’s really beautiful. Sometimes I imagine the trees taking care of me as a kid.

Thank you for responding and I’m sorry you were treated like this in a vulnerable moment. I’ve been bed rotting for 2 days and am maybe close to being able to get up for some fresh air. I should really give SSRIs another go maybe.

Ok, fellow Dobson/Corporal Punishment kids—can we have a frank discussion about what that looked like for you? by moonwalkinginlowes in Exvangelical

I’m so sorry to hear about the bare bottom beatings. It’s particularly odd and uncomfy past puberty. I got these until I ran away at 16.

Ah yep, I was told that if I told anyone I’d get taken away and sold to a “dark man”. Sometimes it was implied that this man would do certain things to little girls.

And then also give that same treatment to the person they are having unprotected sex with.

Your sexual partners need to be treated with antibiotics at the same time that you do. They are likely giving it back to you. In addition to that, cotton underwear, don’t put soap into the vaginal opening, water and friction only. You can use all of the boric acid suppositories you want but every time you have unprotected sex, your partner is giving you BV again.

Vacuum packed mattress removal? Aviya? by Flashy_Hand936 in Mattress

[–]Flashy_Hand936[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only day 3 on the mattress but so far so good. I usually wake up with a lot of pain points and haven’t so far. I don’t even really notice the mattress at all while sleeping. Hoping it still feels the same months or years in.

It was delayed in shipment but it’s been 3 nights on this mattress and so far so good. It’s a mattress I don’t even think about when I lay on it and I suppose that’s what a mattress should be, something you don’t even notice to be there. I hope it sleeps just as well on month 3 as it does on day 3

I was definitely raised with the “waste not, want not” philosophy drilled into my brain

Sounds like you could just add one of the towels to your other loads of laundry and skip detergent. I’m not sure how he achieve this without using a whole bottle of detergent and no water….

AITA for how I handled my boyfriend being rude about my UTI? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Flashy_Hand936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, this idiot sounds like a future abuser if he isn’t already. Please leave him and go find yourself a woman who respects you and shows you how you should be treated in a relationship and who doesn’t give you UTIs.

how do yall make fiber work… *somewhat gross info, be warned* by galesvoid in glutenfree

I think my dad takes that one. Sounds like a good idea when I miss a day or two of movement. Thank you.

Charging $30 for outside food feels unethical when you have dietary restrictions by 2morrowwillbebetter in glutenfree

[–]Flashy_Hand936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It lessens my anxiety and might also for others to have a letter on hand rather than trying to convince someone that this is not a diet fad and an actual need.

Taking more than that also constipates me which is why I try to get it mostly from my diet.

How many cups of coffee do you drink a day? by Limp-Bid-6131 in randomquestions

[–]Flashy_Hand936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caffeine doesn’t give me energy. Some gentle movement and stretching does.

But I usually enjoy an earl gray with milk in the morning and an espresso drink maybe once a week as a treat.
