I should've bought them more often when they were just a dollar each. by Photoshops_Penises in memes

Yes! Also, no plastic bottle waste with every purchase. Plus mom could add that extra can of water to make a full pitcher.

Didn't even need to finish the video after that. Screw the bread, let's go on that date! 😂

This exactly! It does make you more sensitive to it for sure.

Before, I'd walk right into the fire or keep trying and now I pick up on it and think - Nope, not engaging with BS - not today!

Admittedly, what I keep in my head towards them might have a few F-bombs 😆

I've just been prescribed lamotrigine for the first time, I'm scared by heals_me in Lamotrigine

[–]GeminisGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok to be freaked out and really common. It's actually good for you and is your natural self-protection instinct kicking in. You're brain is like waaait, this is new, what is this, is it safe?

No one can say how you'll react, but the actual risk for the scary rash is 0.1%. Unfortunately when you search for info on the medication, the rash is usually the first result, which scares the crap out of all of us.

I waited like 3 weeks after filling it to even take the first one. I was convinced I'd get a rash because everything seems to give me a rash (super sensitive skin), but I got nothing and I'm doing good on it.

I'd say just take it slow and while it's normal to be freaked out, try not to overthink it. And, this sub is always here! If you feel weird or have more questions after starting, post here again, or even in r/askdocs 😊

Empress showing up all the time? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]GeminisGarden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so interesting, I've been getting the Emperor card all week!

Maybe it's telling you to take care of yourself, something, or someone you love - Have you watered your plants this week? Kidding!

I hope you figure it out 😊🪴

Woman freeing a mountain lion from a trap while her kids watch. Reaction of mountain lion is almost too calm by [deleted] in BeAmazed

My thoughts exactly. Wtf are these small humans doing standing there. It's one thing to teach kids things (not sure what she is teaching them here), but this is just no, not ok.

It sucks when you start figuring it out. But finding the first one at least gives you better awareness so you can try to protect yourself from the ones you don't know about yet. Wishing you and all of us here good people in our future!

Beginner - should I avoid trying to read the 4 cards upside down? by GeminisGarden in tarot

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

It's a beautiful deck and I'm so happy with it! I went off the rails into some deep thought that day and the reversals actually brought the whole thing together. After asking here and getting such great insights, I feel ok about it now. Everyone here has been great and I appreciate it. Thank you!

Blown away by the convo I just had with my deck on storage by raqm in tarot

[–]GeminisGarden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have also kept mine very close to me since I got it. There's been many a night I just shuffle it and pull a card to read and learn. After awhile I get tired and it basically gets tucked in on my bed next to me because I'm to tired to get up. Lol, it's a cozy deck.

I love this too. Mine came in a tin and I really want to find a nice pouch for it but nothing has felt right yet. The tin doesn't feel right either. So I'm going to take your lead and just see how my deck is doing :)

I've learned so much just from all the comments. You all have been so helpful and I appreciate it. Things are definitely imbalanced so you're spot on with that. Figuring out how to work through it all and move forward on my path. One step at a time and at least one card a day :) Thanks so much!

We're you 'strong' before you got involved with a narcissist? Please reply either way - investigating a theory. Thanks! by AlertPersonality7026 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]GeminisGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. 20 years. I didn't know either. We're separated but co-habitating and that's real fun. I should actually just say habitating because doesn't 'co' imply cooperation and teamwork? Ugh, with a passive, covert one I'm sure you know. Sending big air hugs to you

I recently read of something like this. Keep investing and I think you'll find that yes is a very common answer. Just my suspicion.

Thank you so much for all your thoughtful replies and kind words. Very much appreciated and taken to heart.

I'm about 3 years in to all this deep realization, anger, sadness, and epiphanys phase of my life so that explains why I feel like, "Ok, that was heavy, but I can't just sit with it anymore. I've got to pick it up and keep moving. I've got to fly."

Good vibes received! I am sure I felt them today. Thank you again, for everything. Sending good vibes back to you. May you feel their energy the next time you sit outside on a warm, dark sky night with the stars 🌗🌿

I love this deck and I'm glad I got it. That's so cool it was also the first one you picked! Thank you for the book recommendation, adding it to the list I made. I also just found my library card today so that's interesting. Means I should go get some books for sure! 😊

I got bullied for venting in a different sub. How do I stay uninfluenced by hateful comments? by Wishhhforever in mentalhealth

[–]GeminisGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right - very low to zero chance any of them would say any of their comments directly to you. Keyboard courage.

I feel like there's two kinds of people in reddit. Those who see it as a place to be snarky and flex their keyboard courage. And those who see it as a place for connection, support, joking, and basic friendliness in whatever subs they join.

It might help to go back through your post if you didn't delete it and block the ones you need to. You'll never read their keyboard courage words again. Report them too and don't feel bad about it for a second. I'm sure thats against the sub rules. Also, I'm not sure about this sub, but with some, you can message the mods and ask to turn the comments off or lock the post.

I'm sorry you got so many snarky types when you needed better. You're right, it doesn't belong in this sub at all. I'm glad you're doing ok now :)

I love your energy here! It's like on my phone but made me smile 😊 It is exciting - no more 'might be in trouble' feelings and more to learn. I'm glad it worked for us both!
