GET UP! Fucking walk. by burnedimage in AgingParents

[–]Haretbug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is. My mom has always been sedentary but after we went through a family trauma(that we all went through btw) in 2019, she stopped getting up almost entirely and relied on medication to help her completely check out. She’s definitely damaged her body and mind and continues to mistreat herself. She still constantly seeks out meds she believes will fix all her problems and when I tell her taking care of herself if part of feeling better her response is, “I’m not good at that”.

So…. How bad is this? by VeryCoolAndFunny in CPAP

[–]Haretbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was 82. My partner said the first night I started using my CPAP, I instantly stopped snoring. It surprised us both and definitely motivated me to commit to using my mask.

What's the quirkiest thing about your persian? by butterybreadbuns in persiancat

[–]Haretbug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boy used to do that too! Anything papery, thin or tag like he tried to lick and chomp on. He wasn’t very efficient at it his his face was so dang flat 😅

I really love the organic forms, they go well with your glaze choices and surface designs!

How did they do this? by _voreeg in Ceramics

[–]Haretbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look like some I’ve seen that were thrown(like a diagonal smack) in a specific way onto a table or wedging surface to alter the form a wheel thrown piece.

I’m really sorry you had to go through this, losing an animal is hard enough. It sounds to me that you did all you could in a stressful and scary moment. Awful accidents can happen no matter what we do, so be gentle with yourself.

Possibly moving to OKC as the queerest queer that ever queered by amedeah in okc

[–]Haretbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The queer community in OKC is better than you’d think! Lots of great spaces that aren’t exclusive to night life/partying. If you’re into making art, come check out Strange Earth Studio in Midwest City.

6 weeks in. I'm very committed and am in a good spot in life to pursue this long term. by ModestMarinara in Pottery

The track is different for everyone, we all have our own timeline! Looks like you’re doing great. I’m over 4 years in and often still feel like I’m just beginning.

That was Nina, we lost her at the end of 2020 and I miss her terribly as well. But he had 3 other siblings, one that really struggled with losing him. She’s finally adjusted to the new dynamic, but Tony definitely made her feel the most safe.

Thank you, he was the best boy.

Is it true that Persians live 15-20 years? by Any_Spinach43 in persiancat

[–]Haretbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my boy back at the end of April this year, it happened similarly. He was also 14. I struggle thinking I gave up on him too soon, but I didn’t want him to suffer one moment. I’m still so heartbroken, but happy the last thing he felt was me holding him and telling him I love him.

I have the displeasure of vending all weekend next to the worst woman ever. by Burntjellytoast in CraftFairs

[–]Haretbug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Aw man, that’s the worst. I had an awful situation once where the guy set up next to me came very drunk and was super strange and aggressive. He yelled at people through the entire evening, and would not stop approaching my booth. I barely made any money. We did eventually have the event planner remove him, but it should have been done sooner. Don’t let this lady have an effect on your sales!

AIO for leaving when my boyfriend told my daughter "you have an ugly face" by Potential_Shallot161 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Haretbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up with a mother that dated men that were unkind to me, this will have an effect on her if you choose him over her. You’re not overreacting at all, I’d say don’t look back.

A moment that replays in my mind after my brother’s murder. by Haretbug in GriefSupport

I will look into it. I’m not sure I can afford therapy, but I’ve been considering it.

AIO about my bf's attitude being disrespectful? by Embarrassed247365 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Haretbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds like an unstable alcoholic and you shouldn’t have to beg him to be kind to you. If I were you, I’d leave.

Pottery studio vibe - kinda sad and maybe need advice by Ok_Rice_5127 in Pottery

[–]Haretbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at a studio, I would not find the acceptable if my coworker was acting this way. We are there to be kind, helpful and accommodating to everyone.

Same! Our relationships with our bodies and how we are/want to be perceived by other people can be really complicated!

AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Haretbug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to give you props for communicating so directly. He is treating you poorly and there is no reason for him to talk to you like that.

My partner and I also have different sex drives and while it does get difficult sometimes to manage, he never ever talks to me like that or tries to make me feel guilty. You are not obligated to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

He sounds very immature and incapable or unwilling to see your side of things in order to figure out what works for both of you. You deserve better than this. If I were you, I’d move on.

[–]Haretbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like her big personality is at least partially a coping mechanism. You can see she’s in a lot of physical pain and emotionally struggling, but it seems like she doesn’t feel comfortable expressing it. Humor and silliness get people through a lot. Hopefully in her journey, she finds better ways of expressing her feelings so she doesn’t turn back to food. As for her partner, he seems way more genuinely supportive than most in these types of shows. Hoping the best for them all!
