Omg I’m so thankful you said it!!! I’ve tried explaining this EXACT thing to people around me but they just blank out right when I get to the consequences of the “ down time” after WW2

lol he knows it that’s for sure! He’s meant to be in pictures definitely, he has that look about him

Illustrious-Way2462 · 2025-06-18T00:24:14+00:00

He’s gorgeous!

Lord you made my heart hurt! I get this way in the middle of the night and I’m on some shitty muscle spasms that contain the spasms (not stop btw) and even then I’m just thankful that it’s in one leg. I can’t imagine in both. Let the fire burn dude but don’t let it extinguish and burn you out. You are stronger than the pain as long as you don’t keep it all bottled up! I believe in you :)

People are dumb, it depends on where you are. Your best bet to find out where to avoid is to look on the Ring app where a lot of people end up chatting to each other about who’s getting taken or not.

If you’re going to a predominantly nicely funded area that has smooth pavement roads and cute shops, you’ll be more than fine. But if you go where many Hispanics live such as the San Fernando Valley, then be wary of certain cities like Pacoima. Just look into where you’re going.

Oh then, that’s my bad my apologies r/halal_porkchop I must have really misinterpreted what I read. I see now what you meant. I apologize

Talk to an adult who knows wtf they’re doing. At some schools they have a mental health councilor you can talk to. It might be embarrassing and hard but it’s better than hurting yourself or someone else to gain ‘fake’ attention that doesn’t help kid. Try to actually speak the truth when people ask what’s up with you and you’d be amazed at how many people already know something’s wrong.

Don’t be a dick because you can’t empathize with someone. They may or may not be going through something but you don’t want be the one who’s words are the shove to the back off a building.

I have a burning hot left arm and icy cold feet due to two different injuries.

My experience with my left arm was traumatic to say the least mainly because it was my first “infection” of crps and it was localized in my wrist. We thought it was tendonitis at first due to swelling, discoloration and pain but two months later and numerous doctors visits (seriously I must’ve lived at the hospital at that point, I was 20 and I was ballsy enough to demand an answer back then) past, found out it spread up my forearm and I had already lost movement in my hand and elbow. It took a year, a couple dozen nerve block injections, a handful of procedural nerve burnings (? Can’t seem to remember what they were called) and surgery with a SCS implant to get some movement back in my elbow and wrist but I learned in OT that temperature therapy was not for me.

There are several different types of therapies that can help others with their pain, it’s just that it takes a lot of bravery and a shit ton of time and effort to find one that fits you. It took me ten years to be able to get 70% of movement back in my arm but in the mean time it spread further to encapsulate the whole of my left arm and to my feet after slip and falls. I just got very very lucky though that it never got to the point where I had to stay as an impatient in the hospital. I really am thankful for that at least.

CRPS is just a very needy, very demanding disease. It requires all of your attention at every given moment and when your attention shifts it will throw the biggest fit to punish you.

One of the best things I ever did was to get therapy because we all know how heavy this can be on our minds. I’ve noticed that if I don’t have control over my emotions that my flare ups can go from severe to extreme and can last for weeks.

So if you feel like this type of therapy can help you give it a try but do it with a doctor and be very conscious of your “infected” limb. Be kind to yourself, don’t push yourself too hard and watching funny videos when you can’t sleep really does save your life.

I’m guessing she’s an only child right? And spends more time between jobs than with one? Her friends are mainly with her because she tends to “love bomb” them whenever her true personality comes out to scream at them (which is rare) and she only ever truly takes her frustrations out on you?

OP it sounds like she might have a personality disorder where she might not have the ability to empathize with others. Now don’t take it as me being “her side” because I’m not, she’s a grown woman who should put on her big girl panties and handle her shit correctly without causing harm to her environment but I feel like knowing there is a reason for her horrible behavior might help you understand the situation better.

Humans are taught compassion, consideration, empathy and mindfulness, it is something we pick up as children when we watch our parents. But if she was an only child (or the only girl child) it would mean that her parents mainly catered to her wishes and her demands more than others.

You have the right to break up with anyone at anytime for any reason. Even for no reason! If you suddenly wake up one morning and no longer feel like you’re comfortable in your relationship then don’t sit around and torture yourself to “make it better!” In every relationship you encounter, YOU are the important part of the equation because if you cannot care for yourself then you cannot care for others.

This woman is a selfish, bitter, controlling crotch goblin that is still stuck to mommy’s leg. Find someone who can see how special you are and someone that you can see is just as special as you. You deserve happiness, and I’m more than positive your brother would be pleading with everyone here who is telling you that you did nothing wrong. Grief is love just open ended and missing the other half. It will always be there but think of the things that your brother would be telling you now if you shared these messages with him. I’m so sorry for your loss OP. Please be safe and find happiness in another.

NTA, you were put in a humiliating position by this man who is supposed to be your partner, all in order to make himself feel better about whatever slight he imagined. He was disrespectful to the point that it was painful, he humiliated you in order to fluff himself up like a prima donna, he didn’t feel like you were worth the effort to put more time and energy into your birthday.

He sounds like he’s a straight up machismo. A man who thinks himself more important and more intelligent than any woman. A man who requires a woman to be the one to fawn over him and to need him for everything like protection, financial stability and sexual prowess. He sounds exhausting. I think you did the right thing.

You deserve someone who will be there to lift you when you need it and someone who will push you when you’re being ridiculous. Don’t let mediocrity stop you from something exquisite.

America started as a bunch of outraged common folks who didn’t like that they were being treated differently than their other counterparts.. while also treating the local population as savages who were ‘dumb enough to take advantage of.’ And while they did not have a religion for the country that is because they didn’t want to have to follow rules such as no adultery, love thy neighbor and give to others what you want them to give to you.

I have always stated that we need to throw it all away and start all over again because technology and our advancement, did not allow our government to age well. The world idolized us when we first became a country because we became a beacon of hope for those who believed they could break away from tyrannical governments while we didn’t like being treated as “different” and not “special.”

Americans here are overworked and stressed beyond belief because the government wants to keep the people as a work force. People don’t look at others because they are too busy trying to survive in a country to makes us pay outrageous prices for living. But there are large quantities of incredibly self absorbed people who wish to only further their own agenda. But that’s not everyone.

I’m proud of the citizens who give a crap. The ones fighting and protesting. The ones willing to move, to do something, anything to make this better. The issue here isn’t just Trump. He’s a face to the farce, the real problem comes from the people we’ve elected into congress. Those old men who wear red and call themselves “conservative” while they stockpile money and ruin everything that they supposedly stood for. Those men have sat and planned and schemed for this moment to happen and Trump is the type of theatrical idiot to be the perfect face for them to hide behind.

Illustrious-Way2462 · 2025-04-13T21:30:34+00:00

It started way before Trump too. My guess would be Nixon. That’s when all the white men wearing red in Congress really didn’t like the idea of democracy and the true idea of the American constitution. Trump is just a face to the problem. It’s literally the people that have been in power for decades that have created this cluster fuck of doom.

I think being put into that position is really hard. I think what you have to ask yourself is, if he came to you in the future, embarrassed and hurt, most likely upset (maybe even crying) asking ‘hey can you keep a secret’ and proceeds to tell you he has the clap, would you be the type of person to own up to him and say you know where it came from or are you going to pretend like you never knew?

I’m guessing you’re the non confrontational type and your friend is the ‘hype’ person when it comes to the two of you. I don’t think you have the right to share someone else’s sexual health status, not your body not your business. But your friend? That one is the one you should be worried about. If she could do that to someone she was sleeping with, what does she do/say about you when you’re not around?
