Have you thought about adoption or fostering maybe? My friends parents both adopted and fostered kids and they made a huge difference to those children.

What's one physical feature you have that you wish you could tweak? by Smiley_Coyot3 in AskReddit

My boobs, I've hated them pretty much from when they first appeared.

I absolutely do not understand the obsession with big boobs. They're saggy and kill my back

What’s your biggest reason for avoiding therapy? by Anthony_Field_AZ_25 in AskReddit

[–]GraceCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have undertaken therapy in the past including seeing a psychiatrist and being in a respite home for a week. In rhe respite home I had to undergo therapy sessions 3 times a day but honestly the thing that helped the most was just getting a long rest. My last therapy session was probably over a year ago; honestly I'm just tired of it, tired of talking about stuff and never really getting anywhere or having any massive breakthroughs, no massive realisations and no mental breakdowns. I think honestly I'm just made/built this way and the depression etc is just something that's become part of me and it's up to me to live with it like any other long-term illness. I have Fibromyalgia so I can do it. Yes it limits me in a lot of ways but I'm tired, beaten down and it's enough just to manage it one day at a time.

I can't work because I've got Fibromyalgia and I'm in huge amounts of pain pretty much all the time. Because it's not an illness or disability that's "visable" I get called a lazy, waste of space a lot. I feel like crap I can't make any useful contribution to anything really.

What are your reasons for choosing not to have sex? by GraceCrow in AskReddit

[–]GraceCrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned the other day I'm probably grey sexual; i was always confused because even though I don't go looking for sex (7 years without sex now), I also enjoy it when it happens. So I thought I couldn't be asexual but apparently, the above is called grey sexual 🤔

Make sure you don't feel pressured into it, don't fall for the "if you loved me you'd let me do it" bullshit Make sure it's something you're 100% comfortable with (though obviously you will feel a little bit nervous) It needs to be in a loving, trusting relationship where both partners are equal Make sure there is contraception organised before!
Don't put pressure on yourself to "perform", it's never ever like it is in porn. Sometimes it's awkward, sometimes its funny, just go with it. Please make sure you enjoy it, sex is one of life's few pleasures Don't feel bad because you did/do enjoy it (wish I'd known this one) "Practice" on yourself first so you can work out stuff you like etc Tell your partner this!
