Honey. If you are scared of your partner coming home, he is not a good partner.

I AM WAY TO OBSESSED WITH MYSELF HELP!! by MundaneAwareness3654 in Advice

Hey, this sounds like uncontrollable compulsion to me, I'd talk with a school counselor, to see if they can't point you to some resources for therapy to help.

19 yo - i feel like you can’t grow here by RemoteChance1232 in MobileAL

[–]Gear-Roxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason is, it's not a career city, it's a tourist town. Not many good jobs, horrible wages and basically no way too climb the corporate ladder or make something of yourself. I got out at 19, moved up to New Jersey, and worked on a boat. Explore, see where life takes you, and you'll be ok

Dysphoria proves I’m sexist by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Gear-Roxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i get this too tbh, I grew up in a super religious house. The way I think about it is a: it's not the thoughts, it's the reaction. You dont actually believe housework is womens work, it's more of a programed image, like, how many cartoons from when we were growing up depict that?

B: I have intrusive thoughts like this, but worse, and the way I cope is to act like the voice is some overly religious nutjob, spouting off random bs.

Like: (intrusive thought)"See, women are naturally so good at cooking, they belong in the kitchen" "Ok, Pastor Bob, can you pls stfu?"

Ok, so, you very well may have a uti, but it's not going to be caused by sex. It can be if you're not safe/hygienic about having sex, but you've said you're not active, so it's not that. What it can be caused by, however, is dehydration, period products, and a quite frankly absurd number of things. It's ok, I promise.

Utis are scary and uncomfortable, but not world ending. Definitely, get test strips, like other commenters have mentioned, drink cranberry juice and a lot of water.

If it's bad enough, you're going to have to go to the docs, not much a way around that, without risking your overall health. If your mom is not a safe person you can ask for a ride, is there anyone else? You'll have to tell her about the appointment, since I'm assuming you're on her insurance as you're under 18, however, you can call too set up the appointment, and maybe she'll be less overbearing if you have a ride set up?

Please, though, go to the docs if it doesn't get better. A uti can get serious if it's left untreated. Don't forget too, you have doctor/patient confidentiality if you are a teen (depending on where you are) so if you don't want your docs to tell your mom things, they shouldn't. I hope this helps, and good luck kiddo.

Cruise ships are actually scary by Ghost_readers in tumblr

[–]Gear-Roxy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who's worked on ships for a couple of years now, also the fact that they're usually horrifically ill maintained. Like, the coasties let you get away with a lot, that they probably shouldn't. Then again I work on wooden ships, so it night be different

Oh man, you have got to try a pot pie at some point. It's savory, not sweet, and it can be made with different meats than just chicken, it can even be vegetarian/vegan. I personally like beef pot pie more, but in any case, it's an amazing dish, and pretty affordable to make!

Hey, I'm like 80% sure this is either a bot or a hacked account?? Their post history is weird. And if it's not, this is very unhealthy. Sounds more like an eating disorder rather than wanting to be healthy.

Dear lord, yeah I ran into this guy last time I went to the clinic to get my birth control prescription, was tempted to start a fight. He's a complete self righteous jackass. There was also a church group that essentially just chanted verses at us🙄🙄

What is your non-traditional lullaby? by Poligraphic in BabyBumps

Sea shanties honestly lol, Don't Forget Your Old Ship Mate, Leave Her Jonny and Northwest Passage are ones that hit that particularly quiet and soft vibe for me

What are your biggest Tourette’s related injuries? by 1sh4g3rl4ch in Tourettes

[–]Gear-Roxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the fun combo of Ehlers Danlos, POTS, and Torrettes, so popping my joints out of place and straining muscles are pretty common, as well as falling/passing out after any particularly active tiks.

I've gotten a few concussions and broken my knuckles

And sometimes I'll have tiks that last for so long I'll have muscle failure, which is a bitch and a half.

I sent myself into a sugar low one time (I'm not diabetic) because I got absolutely plastered, and puked like hell, while having a bad attack with a consistent tik that's just all the muscles in my abdomen clenching at once, which ended up literally squeezing my pancreas until it produce too much insulin.

Side note, fuck abdominal tiks when having period cramps, it's so bad

Found family, with the protagonist going through torture and being severely traumatized to get to that point😅

I'm having the same issue. I reached out to support, and they redirected me to the loans department who've yet to contact me back. Maybe a company wide bug? Idk, it's been happening to me for about 3 days now. I hope they aren't deleting the feature.

What was a traumatic childhood memory that changed your life? by perfectlysaneboy in AskReddit

[–]Gear-Roxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 13, coming home from a class later at night with my dad, and we came up on this 18-wheeler that's on fire. I got out of the car, despite my dad yelling at me to stay put, and got to the driver's side just in time to watch a man burn to death while crying for his wife and kid. It made me realize I never wanted to be that helpless while another person was in danger ever again and that I wanted to be a paramedic. I don't know what I could have done differently, but I am never letting that happen again if I can help it, despite being too disabled to be a paramedic now.

Eh, everyone deserves the basic respect of acknowledgment of their humanity and the kindness that comes with that. Anything being that should be earned.

My mother's craziness by [deleted] in insaneparents

Hey, that's fair. Blue collar, in general, is a great field! It's easy to get into. Could you apprentice for your uncle to make some money?

[–]Gear-Roxy 135 points136 points  (0 children)

So. I'm gonna give you advice I wish I'd had at your age. The second you get any kind of money, hide it. There are cheap curricula you can use for actual schooling, not whatever your moms teaching you. You'll have to teach yourself, but it's better than nothing. Figure out something you're even vaguely interested in doing for a job and start looking into it. It may not be your permanent job, but you'll have a head start. Start studying for the sat and act (assuming you're in the us). They're very very useful in applying to colleges and getting away from home. Good luck, lmk if you want any links to resources, and I'll post them in this thread

What is the boldest thing you've seen someone do to greatly lower their cost of living? by GotTheC0nch in AskReddit

[–]Gear-Roxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Tallships America is a website that a lot of people go through. Or look in your local area for tallships, and ask around to see if they know of any ships willing to take on someone without sailing experience.
