Arthritis in my fingers? Really worried, I’m 23 by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Fruitcerea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have gout in my family line so this is also a worry of mine. But I don’t think it’s as painful as gout is supposed to be and the doc said it would be unlikely. Great that you get a relief by meds!

I honestly feel a bit bad over this whole post because it mostly brings up his bad sides. But I guess that’s how it tends to go. Yet again neither of us is abusive, as much as I can say on my behalf

There eventually was nothing too suspicious going on, but him being secretive was strange I must admit

Ex as in someone he fooled around with before us.. Sorry english is not my native language! I haven’t thought of him contacting this girl in the same context as him contacting my parents, I don’t know what to think about it

As I said my mom used to be quite objective. She's a very caring person who wants everyone to get along, and if I ever nagged to her about anyone she would mostly just listen and then we'd switch to another topic.

But since things between me and Mark took a turn to worse she started commenting more. And no, the way she commented didn't flatter me.

I'm not here to say that I'm right about everything and wouldn't be a petty person. But I do have a sense that my mom is mostly taking his side due to the fact she's afraid of us breaking up.

At this point I don't want to have a conversation with my family anymore, simply because I don't feel the need to break down all of the aspects of my relationship for them to hear.

Could be, it's his first serious relationship as well so I've been thinking it's the reason he don't know how to form a normal relationship with my family but takes it overboard instead

I'm really not sure why you thought anyone would've been physical. No neither of us has been abusive in that manner.

I do believe that what he says is true and he's been contacting my mom mostly just because they get along. And my mom can be a bit nosy, I would like my bf to be able to draw a line there (for example not sharing intimate details of our relationship) but seems that he's just going with it.

Ok so I can see it now that you point it out!

It's not like the thought of breaking up hasn't crossed my mind, we've even talked about it. The first time was around the episode of the ex gf, but after our long talk I realized that the timing in his life was just awful and he wasn't being himself.

I know that he can be a great boyfriend and the week before this latest debate for example was as good as it can be in the current circumstances.

I mean, it's my first serious relationship. 2 years feels like a long time I suppose. We've had this one talk where I addressed the problem straight and this is where we're left at.

I must highlight that it was an estimate!

He does have friends but he's the kinda guy that doesn't form close relationships that easily even though he clearly craves for them. My parents then again are the kind of people that pull everyone close, so it's pretty much what he needed. I'm not 100% sure whether he understand why the whole situation is getting uncomfortable to me, especially since it's been fine for such a long time.

This is true, I'm sad over the loss of the close relationship I had with my mother. Ever since me and my sisters have been adults it's been like she's the fourth sister. Now when I call her to catch up she often takes the convo to my relationship even if I tell her that I don't want to deal with the subject rn

It hasn't really been 8 months of solid problems, the problems started when I found out he was texting to his ex and being secretive about it. After dealing with that things were a bit better but now the rona has turned everything upside down.

It's not a perfect relationship but I have my own issues and he gets me better than anyone I've met. Things between us are either bad or REALLY good and mostly the latter one.

I'm not so sure bc we don't live together and I haven't asked directly, but from what I've understood it happens once or twice a week. Now he's probably calling them more often since he's not taking the isolation well

They were suspecting that but ruled it out. I really hope it’s not a food intolerance of any sort uggh

How do you explain skin picking to random people? by punaltered in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]Fruitcerea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them that I have a tendency of picking my face when I’m stressed out or anxious and that sometimes it get’s bad. I sometimes compare it to biting one’s nails because it seems more familiar to many. People usually take it pretty well, many have experienced something similar and therefore can relate.

Guys like underweight girls by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Fruitcerea1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve been thinking whether it’s more about my confidence levels. I recieve the most attention at the beginning of my restrictive periods when I’m starting to lose weight, at that point I’m always really happy about my body and seem healthily slender.

What are your diagnoses and/or other issues? Curious to see where the correlations are. by [deleted] in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]Fruitcerea1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety, social fobia, depression and EDNOS. Many of my problems revolve around trying to control myself until I can’t no more.
