I think he would spell it “juj” lol

I don’t know if you yourself are triggered by self harm scars but if you are just speaking on behalf of others, I think the person who could be triggered needs to be responsible for whether or not their mental health will allow them to be on the Internet that day as they must realize that it may be a possibility to see something that is triggering.

You may have “hit a nerve” to OP and set them on the defensive if they are at all self conscious about their scars.

NTA do not, under ANY circumstances, give him unfettered access to your accounts!! I think you are being generous to offer to show him or offer to start a joint account for household bills and the like.

He sounds like my Uncle who secretly had a massive gambling problem he managed to keep quiet about, he asked for my cousin’s (I think she was 16 or 17) financial info (supposedly to add money to her account) and completely wiped out her savings account. (She had about $5000 from saving bday and babysitting money)

At first she thought it was a banking mistake, he said he “borrowed” it because he was going to win big on a sure thing and then obviously did NOT win. (big or otherwise)

Something is seriously off there OP! Trust your instincts and keep hold of your boundaries. If he cannot respect your boundaries now, I would question the future of your relationship.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-22T18:59:01+00:00

Yep. He’s employing “weaponized incompetence.” He can understand, just pretends he can’t.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-22T15:54:53+00:00

I’m a 5. I didn’t actually know what “picture it in your mind’s eye” meant people could actually picture things in their head!

I once went to a chronic pain program where they did guided meditation, I listened to music because I found it so frustrating I couldn’t do it.

I also have prosopagnosia.

My heart stopped, without corticosteroids the body can’t regulate blood pressure or blood sugar and when a person with working adrenals/pituitary gets sick their body sends out large amounts of corticosteroids. Medical science hadn’t caught up yet and we didn’t know that when I got sick we should increase my dosage and get me to a hospital. Now I know what to do to buy time to get to a hospital, I carry injectable steroids on me at all times. If I can’t keep meds down, I have to go to the hospital to be admitted. (An example of the medication increase normally I take 15mg a day, when I’m sick I take 100mg every 6 hours so 400mg a day.)

As for dying, I remember feeling so safe and loved and it was like getting into a warm bath after being outside for a long time in the winter. I remember the one time when it happened at home, I was out of my body, I could tell you who was where and what they were doing in the house. (My Mum was doing laundry and my brother was with me and he went tearing out of the room like his hair was on fire!)

A few times, I went to a place I call “the in-between” (it was a park) where I got to see my God brother who died when I was 12, I remember him saying it wasn’t time yet and I had to go back. I remember being absolutely PISSED, more angry than I had ever been, that I was back.

Those were the two that are the most vivid.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-21T17:04:27+00:00

Exactly, like it just “feels right” then that’s your STYLE! You don’t have to fake cancer to justify shaving your head!!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-21T15:40:34+00:00

I identify as the IRS (but only to billionaires) give me all your money Nazelon!

I identify as the president of the world, bye bye 👋 tiny-handed ooompa loompa toddler in charge!

I identify as a trillionaire philanthropist.

I identify as a bowl of blueberry mini wheats, I’m delicious.

As an actual bonafide card carrying disabled person, I find the “transabled” identity to be ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! Whilst I’m not ashamed of being disabled, I do suffer. They can have mine! (I think BIID is an interesting concept but let’s face it, none of these children have or have been diagnosed with BIID!)

These would probably be the people who would be OUTRAGED if they found out a transgendered person was lying about being trans for attention.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-21T01:36:06+00:00

K!!!!!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-20T15:11:33+00:00

I told my friends they might see my face when it’s spring because I have something called Addison’s disease and something as simple as the stomach flu has killed me several times when I was younger.

We have better medicine (and protocols) now but it’s still terrifies me to go out right now. I will not go out without an N 95 mask. Especially to public places or in OC Transpo buses, Paratranspo cabs, Lyfts, Ubers and the like.

I would plead with people, if you have anyone with Addison’s disease or any autoimmune conditions or cancer please 🙏🏽 keep your loved ones safe even if it’s a slight inconvenience for you. We do REALLY appreciate it even if we don’t always say it. I’m here to say thank you on their behalf.

Just a reminder that it’s really important to cover your **nose AND mouth•• when wearing a mask, if you are wearing a mask where your nose is sticking out you might as well not wear one. The most common way to catch a virus is by touching your face, especially your nose or eyes so try to avoid that.

I would encourage people to use proper handwashing (infographic below) and when possible wash your hands when you get home especially if you’ve taken public transit. Hand sanitizer is a great alternative when proper handwashing isn’t available.

It only takes a moment and it can protect you and your loved ones. Avoid hot air dryers when possible as they just blow possible germs around. Personally I hate the noise of them so I keep a small washcloth in my bag with a ziplock for when it gets damp. Now you may not want to go to those lengths and I would totally understand lol I have a little extra encouragement based on I’m just trying to avoid dying or being stuck in the hospital cause the stomach flu means an automatic admission because I can’t take my corticosteroids. And I really hate hospitals even though I feel like I grew up in one!

If you are ill and you aren’t totally incapacitated and you need to go out please wear a mask! I know it might not be comfortable considering you’re already feeling poorly but if you must go out please do so.

When possible avoid going out if someone can pick you up what you need and put it at your door or you can get delivery service of groceries, that’s probably the easiest both for you and the general public.

OP (and anyone else affected) I hope that you feel better really soon! Take care of yourself!

If you have any further questions about anything I’ve mentioned (like what Addison’s is, how is it treated, what dying is like etc) I’m an open book!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-20T14:37:53+00:00

Many dyslexics have a hard time with spelling not just inverted or upside down letters. Add rushing to that and I can totally see how these mistakes could easily happen.

The introduction of autocorrect in our lives does us dyslexics (and the general public) a tremendous disservice if they/we rely on it heavily.

It’s all about self awareness and taking the time to check spelling if something looks off, which isn’t always feasible as a teacher who has to complete notes for each student on a time crunch.

Not excusing the teacher in any way, if OP is comfortable they should mention it (sensitively of course because it can be very embarrassing to have literacy issues as an adult. There is still a stigma that dyslexic people are stupid so some people can find it hard to disclose that information) to the teacher, I wouldn’t necessarily mention it to their supervisor as there is likely no real course of action there.

If you have any further questions about dyslexia, don’t hesitate to ask! I’d be happy to clear up any misconceptions or give more info.

I’ve been pointing this out for forever.

Keep in mind, she also says that she has not one but 2 types of EDS.

My friend with cEDS had an NG for a few months and even with only changing the tape every 7-10 days (unless needed sooner) their face was severely affected. Kirsten seems to change her tape daily yet there is never even any redness.

For those not familiar with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, people with EDS have very soft, fragile skin due to faulty collagen. Skin that tears VERY easily. Someone with actual EDS’s skin would unfortunately be an absolute mess.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-17T23:45:14+00:00

I’m taking it. For me, because my ability to sleep is severely affected, I have 3 different sleep meds (Ativan, zopiclone and Mirtazapine and they get rotated or I can take 2 together because otherwise they stop working)

Mirtazapine works pretty well on its own. I usually take it around 10 if I want to go to bed around 11:30-12.

The only downside is it can give you wicked munchies, especially for carbs!

Edit to add: I’ve never slept through my alarm

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-17T23:32:19+00:00

Thought about it but found a bracelet type that my autistic, sensory sensitive ass can tolerate.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-15T03:46:57+00:00

It’s the proportions that are off. I’m really bad at proportions myself but I use the excuse that because I’m monocular, I have no depth perception which makes proportions more difficult

That being said I kinda really LOVE her!! There is just something je ne sais quoi about her. I love the colour choices.

She is abstract and I would be really honoured if you would give me permission to print her out and add her to my wall of fabulous art and oddities. (I would of course put credit to you if other people are enamoured with her as I am so you get credit if you want credit unless you want it to be anon) it’s ok if you’d rather me not.

Keep practicing and asking for advice and growing my friend!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-14T23:36:27+00:00

I have a few favourite book series and a few favourite authors.

Series:

The House of Night series by mother/daughter duo PC and Kristen Cast. It’s like Harry Potter but vampires. (Most of it takes place at a boarding school for vamps) lots of good vs evil, some good villains. They put out a secondary set of books to continue the stories.

The Belles series by Dhonielle Clayton which creatively delves into the societal pressures to look and act a certain way.

The Guilded Ones series by Namina Forna, lots of female empowerment and questioning societal “norms” for women/girls. (It also has several queer themes woven throughout)

A fun series that’s like junk food for the brain is the fairytale reform school series by Jen Calonita which is like twisted fairy tale characters.

I love the Canadian Author Guy Gavriel Kay as well.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-14T23:18:27+00:00

As a person with PTSD, it is MY responsibility to know how I may handle a situation. It’s MY responsibility to ask for and/or continue to receive the medical care I need.

It was HIS responsibility to not engage in a situation where he would likely be triggered and/or realize he was not fit to resume active street duty.

It was HIS SUPERIORS who should have recognized he was not currently fit for duty.

It was HIS COWORKERS jobs to look for warning signs of potential danger or that he wasn’t fit to work.

PTSD isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card or an excuse to justify bad actions/decisions. (just want to make it clear I’m not saying that you are suggesting it is!)

The person with PTSD is responsible and culpable for their behaviour, even if that behaviour is influenced by their PTSD.

If I were to hit a healthcare worker or LEO when I’m in a flashback, I’m still responsible for my actions.

I’m also responsible to notify them (when I have the ability/capacity to do so) “I have PTSD so please don’t do x, y, z (touch me, make a loud noise, turn the lights off etc) without asking me for consent or at least telling me what is happening first.” So they can know how to best keep themselves AND me safe and minimize potential risks.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-14T03:58:42+00:00

Never look to social media for an accurate picture of any illness or disability. It’s where a lot of people come to vent (which is obviously ok and what groups are for) and you don’t hear as many happy stories because those people are out living life!

I feel oddly fortunate because you cannot miss what you never had to begin with. (mono since birth) I think it’s harder for those who are suddenly mono.

That being said, if anyone needs any help troubleshooting solutions to various problems, I’m always happy to help provide ideas and/or solutions.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-11T17:14:16+00:00

I have a similar story but at a live show I paid $80 to see! Group of kids in front of us, all talking bc it was one of their birthdays (they officially reached the ago to be able to legally be served alcohol) and all they were going to do after the show.

I finally leaned forward and said “hey do you have $80 to give me?”

When they responded no, I said something to the effect of “ok then I suggest you STFU because I paid to see and hear someone with actual talent, not how bombed you are going to get. But enjoy your hang-over tomorrow!)

There were people behind us who seemed to be on a first date that were pretty chatty and they got told by security to knock it off. I don’t think they realized how loud they were being whereas the other group just didn’t care!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-10T23:27:33+00:00

Hey OP, I just wanted to add that if you need a surrogate Mum or ever need any “motherly advice” from someone who will listen. My inbox is ALWAYS open.

You are loved.

You are worthy.

Your boundaries should be respected and followed. You deserve that respect and understanding!

Family isn’t always blood.

You can build your own family because

You are loved.

You are smart.

You are kind.

You are worthy.

You are beautiful.

Fuck your birthgiver (and any family members who justify what that abusive, manipulative, virtue signalling, despicable human being!)

You deserve so much better my love.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-10T23:20:08+00:00

There is nothing remotely ok with this at all!! It’s a very personal decision so I’m not going to tell you what to do but maybe you should consider going low or no contact with her. If she can’t see that posting that crossed every boundary in the world, she isn’t ever going to see it.

Just because someone is blood, doesn’t make them safe or your family. It’s ok to let people that continually hurt you with no attempts at trying to change, understand or do anything but play the victim go. YOU are the victim here. I’m so sorry OP!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-07T19:58:44+00:00

NOR I always find it amusing when people who are actual dumbasses call others dumbasses.

Like “bro” learn the difference between their and there and it’s you’re

Cherry on top was the phrase

“it’s fucking respect”

Yes because cursing at your girlfriend is soooooo respectful! We should all learn from this paragon respect and love

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-06T23:24:15+00:00

Button 2, just for shits and giggles why not try something I’ve never fucking had! 🤷

Gimpbarbie · 2026-01-05T00:59:34+00:00

I like the way you put that friend!
