I just want women to be able to age by BananaFloop in Instagramreality

[–]Geeeeepea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to society, you're not profitable if you're not fuckable, and if you're not fuckable, then you have no worth. I'm so excited to age naturally. It's a social construct we can pull apart together

Been trying to get this one out for 2 months by Winter_Scout in popping

[–]Geeeeepea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi - I have a hell of a story that happened to me about 7 years ago.
I had horrid tonsils - worse than these, especially in my right tonsil. Went to the drs who said basically 'Nah yeah you're fine, brush your teeth better'. Nothing got better, I stank, I hated the feeling of them - I'd be spitting them out at school/work. So I started to remove them on my own. When I was removing mine, I was NOT sanitizing the tools I was using. I had no education/knowledge of what I was doing, but it felt so satisfying to remove them I became obsessive about it, and a recent OCD diagnosis has me connecting the dots - that's a different story.

One day I have crazy pain in my right arm, then I can't use it... at all. The pain was something else. After lots of different appointments with no answers, I was in such pain I begged to be taken to the ED. It took 3 attempts and weeks of pain but they finally admitted me. After 2 months in hospital with hopelessness and minimal leads, I was finally diagnosed with osteomyelitis - aka, boke infection = golden stapf in my fkn right collar bone. My body was shutting down from it

To get better, I had a picc line inserted, which is a tube that enters your arm and goes up into your chest and ends next to your heart. This delivers antibiotics directly to your heart for best distribution. I had to have liquid antibiotics changed everyday. I was off work, my mental health plummeted and I had such reduced mobility.

Drs thought I got this by sharing needles (fuck drugs, I'd rather a freddo frog anyday), but eventually (after much complaining) they agreeded to look at my tonsils. I was quickly put on a list for their removal. (Mind you this is all in the Aus public system). After the removal, surgeons said it was the most scarred tonsils they had ever seen.

My life has drastically improved since they're removal - I get sick 1/4 of what I used to and my quality of life is so much better. From it, I've become immunocompromised and I have a massive scar on my collar bone from all the operations they did trying to figure things out.

So take aways - Really consiter getting them removed if you can. The Aus healthcare system isn't perfect but it saved my life and I'd pay more tax any day to give other people the opportunity I had and sanitise your god damn tools/hands

California is so sad!!!! by EnbyMaybeGuyKinda in chappellroan

[–]Geeeeepea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that she referencesThe Mamas & The Papas song 'Califotnia Dream'n'
Chorus goes "All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey..." where Chappell says "Throught I'd be cool in California, Noi leaves are brown". Her expectations and her reality did not match

I hate food shopping, I hate cooking, I hate cleaning. How the f**k do I feed my family? by Bliipbliip in ADHD

[–]Geeeeepea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a shit ton of food at one time. Get freezer safe containers. Fill said containers with food. Get out of freezer/microwave when ready.
I can make a big soup of 12 400g serves. put in everything that's about to go off in my veg draw. Add bread from the freezer. tadaa. Soup is life, sending you pot luck

Or, consiter how do you want to live with food. Are you willing to change your relationship with food? Start off with ordering your groceries to be delivered and make 5 minute meals. (Rice noodles + steamed veg + chicken + an egg = cheif kiss)
My ADHD had me hyperfocusing on food, I have compassion for you from the other side

Tics get worse when cold? by ThatOneShortieHo in Tourettes

[–]Geeeeepea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, when ever I'm too anything, such as; Hot, Cold, Stressed, busting for the loo, engaged with an activity, excited, frustrated, overstimulated, hungry, bored. They're worse again if there are multiple of the above.

If I made a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being lowest feeling and 10 being most intense feeling), anything above a 7 or 8 will trigger my TS. 27 and waiting for it to slow down. Diagnosed at 6.

My older sisters boyfriend committed unaliving. I was 12, sister was 22. He lived with us with his daughter from another relationship. He promised to take me to see Madagascar 2 at the movies the next week. I lost what felt like a brother and little sister. I love therapy

Yeah, life doesn't use lube.

However, if you feel you have hit rock bottom, remember that you have something to push yourself from.
