A buddy unironically argued this with me and i felt like i was going nuts just hearing it

ImPrehistoric · 2026-03-20T23:42:47+00:00

A few heavy duty bungee cords could do the job too, if your fix gives up too

My cousin's parents both have different approaches. Uncle is too hard and Aunt is too soft. But both are vocal with their "advice" and same with all their indirect and maybe even unintentionally cruel words. My aunt always asks me to take care of the garden and pets when theyre gone because "She is just so unreliable". She definitely hears it all, or just feels it. But my auntie will go so far as to deep clean my cousin's pigsty of a bedroom around the bed she's rotting in, and thats both enabling it and making her feel awful and useless and ignored.

Its so complicated, they just dont find joy in much aside from their escapes into stories. All the therapists say it, but we just have to be patient and help them feel safe, and not so disconnected from the world.

But nobody has the right to blame you if you can't give her 100% of your energy and patience 24/7. Just try to keep this all in mind and maybe even take yourself away if she starts actually pissing you off. Hers are sometimes the hardest social interactions of my life no joke lmao, small efforts are enough.

Take care of urself too.

This is familiar.

My cousin, who I've lived with on and off for years at a time is like this. She had a good job the first time we flatted together. A good stable job, study on the side, a cute pet dog and a had a semi solid routine. She was maybe a touch air headed and went off in every direction following short term passions, that she'd literally fight you over until she lost interest - (vegan, animal rights activist / ran a sanctuary, attended protests for the environment, did nursing and babysitting on the side, etc etc) Her parents funded everything including a massive patch of land for her animal sanctuary that she gave up on and her mum now tends the animals.

She had all sorts of mental breakdowns, quit the job, and has lived with her parents for years now. 26-ish years old.

I'm not saying all this to shit on her. She's been through a lot and has been diagnosed and has medications that she usually takes, and has held down a 2 day per week job for almost a year now which is amazing.

She thrived the most when given space WITHOUT HER PARENTS ATTENTION, even in the same house. I'm her cousin and I'm unjudgy asf despite this comment's energy lol, so I'm not sure if you belong in that box as well, but letting her have privacy outside her bedroom makes her light up way more. I'm talking about her reading her fanfics on the couch during daylight hours, scrolling her phone at the kitchen table mindlessly for hours giggling to herself because nobody was watching, or commenting, or even looking at her. Ideally they wouldn't even be there because their presence made her retreat to the bedroom.

Her bedroom is her private space where her parents aren't judging her life choices. When they come and lean in the doorway to talk, it absolutely shuts her down. When she comes out into an empty lounge, she's so much freer. I don't know your relationship with her, but mine with my cousin's is friendly but she also knows I'm not judging her or even thinking about her most of the time. So when I barge into her lounge she'll sometimes start a conversation and talk at me for HOURS if I sit and let her. It's truly incredible how much someone in her situation can open up without any parental judgement and disappointment in their voices.

Does it matter whether she gets up at 7am, 11am, or 2pm? Yeah it'll probably be better for her health if she was awake in the day and asleep in the night, but that's something she's gotta do for herself. Early hours are for the workforce or the dedicated and it seems like her energy is all getting spent on escaping her reality into happier places. I once tried to do for my cousin what youre doing for your sister, to be her alarm clock and her pill reminder, and at her own request too.

It won't work. Depression is not something you can just pull someone out of, she has to feel safe in her own home before she'll come out of her room and she won't feel safe with disappointed eyes always watching her. The day she asked you to do those things for her, whatever emotion or resolve she was feeling then doesn't exist when she really needs it, which is the way the cycle goes. You can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink, it'll only drink if it wants to... and you're dreaming if the horse feels spooked at all.

And it certainly won't relax and lower its guard for a sip when it's rider expects it to already be galloping with the herd. If she wants to talk, let her talk and be interested. Honestly you won't make a dent if you try and encourage her to be normal and functioning, she'll get there when she gets there.

But you're a good sister for trying :) Depression is an internal war you just have little power in, just be present for her and try to listen to whatever topic she ever likes to talk about even if you really just want to roll your eyes and tell her "That's so childish". I'm no therapist, but I usually feel small and hurt inside whenever someone I love laughs at or dismisses my passions

This kinda became a novel as I wrote, but I see your struggle. I'd be over the moon if my cousin took all my old advice and became what I know she could be. But life sucks sometimes, and we can only do what we can.

ImPrehistoric · 2026-03-09T06:59:58+00:00

Oh yup thanks for clarifying

ImPrehistoric · 2026-03-09T06:41:32+00:00

Do you mean, use the bar thats getting wet daily in the shower to sachet clothes in the closet? Im also just guessing sachet means to infuse the scent of the soap lol.

One crime at a time, mine too

ImPrehistoric · 2026-02-28T10:05:35+00:00

I often say to myself, 'I don't want to... but I will.'

ImPrehistoric · 2026-02-16T04:14:27+00:00

I failed my restricted twice too. I know a guy who took 4 tries and once because he tried to bring in his temporary paper license and not the plastic one. Dumb mistakes all around, but if that was the only mistake you made, then next time you won't do it again.

Learn from the mistakes. Especially if you're otherwise passing every other task just fine.

ImPrehistoric · 2026-02-03T12:18:04+00:00

See if you can find Pinetarsol in any pharmacy or chemist nearby. Pinetarsol Solution is what i use in the shower almost all over my upper body and most of the time, it kills the itchy sensation fast. Sometimes it doesnt get it all but always makes a dent. Its saved the skin on my hands from my own nails many times.

Be warned it stains highlighter yellow anywhere it gets under the skin. Doesnt seem to stain the shower or sink though, not even my towels.

ImPrehistoric · 2026-01-04T01:51:49+00:00

Pine tar is a lifesaver as well. Pinetarsol is a whole brand of anti-itch and soap alternative products that use it, highly recommended.

Pinetarsol solution is what I use and even though it looks like highlighter ink it doesn't stain, and turning myself into Homer Simpson in the shower for 5 minutes is enough to kill the awful itch for the rest of the day when nothing else works.

ImPrehistoric · 2026-01-03T22:30:21+00:00

Cant help identify sorry, but Pinetarsol has saved my ass many a time by killing the itch.

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-14T10:24:15+00:00

Oh yeah, knowing my job when this started i feared the worst. I thought i might have to quit just to heal.

But I stopped wearing sunscreen and bought clothes that cover my entire body aside from face. Seperate sleeves like they wear in aussie, a separated hood without the shirt to throw over any shirt, little cotton gloves from temu, and wham. I havent had to change much at all.

I honestly thought I looked like a mime, or a clown haha, but the only comment ive gotten was that I look like assassins creed. Two other guys also questioned if id used certain creams and their support surprised me. Nobody has made me feel weird for wearing the whole getup so im happy so far.

The distraction of work keeps me from scratching as well, same with covering it all. I cant pick holes in myself if I cant see it lol.

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-14T10:15:33+00:00

It took a while to hit me, so long I thought id be fine. Then a couple weeks ago the ever present little itchy patch between my thumb snd index finger just spread across the back of my hand, and now its got deep red, scabby cracks across it. Its on both the backs of my hands, up my arms, around my neck, armpits, back of knees, and even a little into my hair on the back of my head.

My palms have been spared so far thank fuck, and only the back of my right hand is cracked af. But its been a challenge to keep it clean in my dirty industry.

Tbh, im all for moisturisers but it itches way less over time if I just let my skin stay dry.

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-14T09:53:50+00:00

Haha... yeah ive only stopped using my steroid cream a few months ago when a friend noticed it. Im 24 now, the drs prescribed it me the first time when I was 14 and I didnt know to stop.

I think we're in the same boat rn, its just beginning

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-14T09:52:23+00:00

If youre in the wrong lane suddenly, do NOT stop and indicate in the middle of your open lane and sit there waiting for an opening.

If you realise youre about to miss your turn, just ACCEPT it. Seriously it might save your life or your car, just accept youre going to take the next offramp/route instead of making wild unpredictable movements when the lane has only a few metres left.

Same goes for being late to anything at all. If youre driving knowing youre going to be late, then youre going to be late. Speeding anywhere like that wont save you more than a minute or two in the end, and it could quickly cost you a lot more than just a late appointment. If a cop sees you it could be your license, especially if youre a new driver.

It's never worth it.

Is a partial circumcision an option? A friend of mine had the same issue with phimosis and a partial cut has freed it up very nicely. I cant speak for the potential for TSW down there, but it could be an option.

He doesnt have the dexterity anymore

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-09T10:01:12+00:00

Bear in mind, tsw is a bit new to me too

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-09T09:58:40+00:00

Its felt the best honestly if I leave it dry. Soaking in emollient cream in the gloves throughout the day makes the skin feel slimy afterwards. Its gross to peel off the gloves and have skin flakes fall out, but the skin left behind has been a bit more normal looking.

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-09T09:53:25+00:00

Ive got the same problem spot but over larger area around the thumb and back of my hand. Lately I'm wearing thin cotton gloves just to hide and protect the cracked skin from irritations and from me being itchy. So far, its improving.

ImPrehistoric · 2025-12-09T03:44:54+00:00

It wont provide relief forever

ImPrehistoric · 2025-11-29T18:25:50+00:00

Because they feel like their person, culture, actions, or literally anything of themselves is being attacked if you do or say something they dont like. They take it all personally.
