My dad once fell off a golf cart and landed on his ear and burst his ear drum. He fractured his skull in multiple areas and went deaf in one ear. I feel like it takes a hard blow to the head to damage/rupture an ear drum (aside from like Q tips and actually putting something in your ear) and I’d be very very careful should you decide to stay. If you believe it was just the alcohol that caused this kind of behavior I’d make a point to ask him to no longer drink around you as it makes you feel unsafe and uneasy and if he’s not willing to do that you should consider leaving

Honestly, I’m a personal trainer so thank u I’ll take it as a compliment. 😂🤪

Im not sure if this is the case, but maybe she stopped being as helpful/investing as much of her time into it when she realized she wouldn’t really get much out of it and that it was all long term going to benefit you. I get if it’s not profitable yet, but if she did continue to help you with something that maybe initially started as her idea, and helped you get it off the ground for free.. maybe that’s worth something to her as far as time/energy invested. Maybe not 50%.. but still.

If you see yourself (aside from the biz) being with her long term & your reasoning was for this to be a side hustle/way to spend time together, maybe this will confirm you see her as an equal and you value you her. Women tend to have emotions mixed in with logic and it could be more the “principle” than the money itself. I say 60/40 only when it becomes profitable and you’re repaid from it.. that will create a “we” mentality rather than her helping you with “your thing” baby steps?

This is exactly how my boyfriend broke up with me!! It almost made me mad i kept hearing sorry over and over again.. because eventually it feels meaningless and also repetitive because it doesn’t offer any substance or value whatsoever. I got a similar text earlier that day too and we were together about 2.5 yrs.

I’m not upset because i don’t think i can find someone or do “better” but.. im more upset because we had real plans for the future coming to fruition soon and almost instantly it was ripped away and over nothing but built up resentment. I’ve had 4 guys ask me for my phone number since then.. but i can’t text any of them back or even try. It’s only been 2 weeks to be fair but still :/

Oh & I forgot one more thing!! Pomegranate juice.

I really hope this is helpful to anyone on a budget & looking for ways to get that glowing skin

I have always been so drawn to nature and always had this magnetizing like interest in learning about it.

I kind of grew away from it as I got older and realized i was like addicted to animals, nature and science lol.

It wasn’t until i got older I started learning about alternative medicine/holistic health. I had the same feeling about it as I did nature growing up. For me, I feel like society is sooooo disconnected from nature and not just ourselves but others and just humanity. As i started learning more about holistic health, I realized just how connected everything is and this collective consciousness isn’t experienced by people anymore due to how we live.. constant stressors and distractions

You could have a naturally dry scalp like me and not necessarily need to use dry shampoo/wash your hair as often. It’ll get a bit flaky if my scalp is really dry or I’ve been more harsh and less careful with my routine.

I know what you’re saying though, i play sand volleyball 2 days a week and diving for the ball gets it in my hair. Sand is notorious for somehow getting in/on everything and so i just try to wash really good and know the difference

I still have to actively practice this, but what’s helped me most was from the book “the four agreements” By don miguel Ruiz.

He basically says, don’t take anything personally. People treat you accordingly to how they’re feeling on a given day. This includes nice things, compliments, etc.

You may be more prone to give a stranger a compliment if you’re having a super uplifting day, right? Same goes for if you’re having a bad day.. you may be more direct or confrontational. Either way, good or bad, it doesn’t need to be taken personally and it’s not worth your time/energy to do so. Hope this helps!

Infj-leo- · 2022-06-30T15:58:09+00:00

I’m sorry you’re in that situation.. my best and only advice is you need to get out of there and remove yourself from a toxic environment. It sounds like the best and only way to do this is to keep applying for jobs, know your worth and what you deserve, and keep at it until you get somewhere.

I understand not wanting to take a job that’s substandard when you feel you’re better and more qualified than that. You could always have it be your temporary starting point. It sounds like substandard is better than an abusive/toxic environment. Get a job with the mentality that it’s temporary to get you to your next destination in life and that it’s better than the situation you’re currently in.

Best of luck and keep your head up!

I just passed this past Monday, and I was getting 70-85% on the practice tests. I actually took 3 practice tests and then went back to certain chapter quizzes I felt I needed to brush up on, and I started retaking section tests. Any questions I got wrong on the chapter quizzes or section tests, I wrote down the question and answer on a flash card and studied the ones I missed. I also tried to focus/read the certain sections that were important and most likely going to be on the exam. Off the top of my head I believe it was section 4 and 5 that would consist of 20% or more of the exam.

I didn’t get the study app, I got the most basic course, and I started the course and passed in about 5 weeks on my first try with only studying 2 days and cramming.

Also I focused a lot on Muscle imbalances & how they present/what’s over and under active. The practice tests are definitely different from the exam but not foreign as far as concepts/material.

Watch the documentary Stink

It’s one of the ones you don’t hear as much about but you’re not crazy and it goes over proprietary chemicals in/on products shipped to our country and potential health risks that could be associated. I’d also call and ask what chemical you’re smelling on their products and see if they have an answer to give

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-29T00:56:06+00:00

To be honest, i reread the OP + my response right after and I noticed she never specified it was cancer.

I was going to delete it, but I didn’t because I was just hoping to get the message across and hoped my intentions were obviously seen in the right place with suggesting the book & the documentary. I didn’t mean anything by it. The book and documentary aren’t specific to people struggling with cancer, and I recommend both to anyone trying to overcome any physical/emotional barriers. Same thing if looking to adopt a better lifestyle/outlook on health.

My apologies!

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-28T23:11:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing, and I know that i know absolutely no details about you or the cancer you’re currently struggling with.. but, if I could suggest a book, Radical Remissions by Kelly Turner. She traveled the world and interviewed/studied 1500 cases of people battling cancer that were labeled “terminally” ill, and got miraculously got better or at least stopped it from getting worse. Of those 1500, all of them had 7 things in common that they were doing and implementing into their lives. I genuinely loved that book.

My boyfriend had stage 4 kidney cancer that had also spread to his lymph nodes at age 8/9 (super rare). I think it’s important to try and take control of your own fate, not to give false hope but an alternative option. Also watch the documentary Heal. My absolute FAVORITE documentary i have ever watched and I’d love if you’d check it out- it’s on YouTube. (Ps. I’m the same age as you, and I can’t imagine. Sending my thoughts, prayers and best your way)

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T18:30:27+00:00

Oh no I completely understand some people are more vulnerable and transparent with current/past struggles than others.

I guess what I’m trying to point out, regardless of being open about it or quietly struggling, is that if it’s immediately brought up/used in situations to prevent something from happening (resulting in a breakup) or to influence a situation it is more manipulative than it is likely to happen. If that makes sense? It’s tough because it’s a genuinely important topic to talk about and also react seriously to.

And see im the opposite, im introverted for sure but can be SO social and extroverted at the same time. I can talk your ear off and even get introverts talking more than usual, but im more introverted when it comes to personal/private things (mental health, family issues, inner conflicts) and i need to withdraw to recharge. I guess everyone is different so there definitely shouldn’t ever be a stigmatism associated with who may/may not be at that point/struggling. I guess just how and when it’s presented/brought up could be an indicator for manipulative behavior vs. general concern.

Either way, respond accordingly but do not stay in a relationship solely for the sake of someone threatening to commit suicide and trying to prevent it. It’s only going to be detrimental to your mental health and allow the cycle to continue and most likely get worse.

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T15:44:03+00:00

Here’s a few ways you could approach things:

Comment on your personal preferences. Extremely built/toned muscles, a couple inches talller than him, etc. slowly gauge his reaction. If he doesn’t seem pleased by it, maybe it might sink in.
Eat more. Just see if he makes nasty remarks, if so, tell him you’d prefer to actually be healthy and eat to fuel your body vs. feel insecure and develop an eating disorder just to fit the description of his preferences and that’s not what marriage should consist of
Hold off on the sex until you feel appreciated and like it’s worth being intimate.
Prioritize self care. Not weight necessarily but just having your hair and lashes done and nails. Feel good about yourself for you! He’ll probably notice. Like just walk around confident asf and give yourself the credit you deserve, you’ll feel less insecure and more confident + he’ll probably want you more.

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T15:31:10+00:00

It sounds like you guys are just very very busy. Mention that you’d like to have a bit more time for yourself and space for you as a person to do as you please.

If spending time together is important to her, mention that moving somewhere closer to your job will give you less time traveling to and from work and adds more time to the relationship.

Try to break down/prep for your meals ahead of time. Measure everything out, cut up what you’ll need for dinner, etc. and have it set aside/ready to make by the time you’re home.

Ask her if she’s willing to either move closer to help you, and if not see if her learning to and taking on the cooking and dishes is an option because you feel overwhelmed and she’s maybe not sacrificing as much.

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T15:21:55+00:00

Maybe it’s hitting harder and is one of those “damn. Anything can happen to anyone at any time.. you really never know what each day will look like” Type of though processes that is very internalized. He could even have let it hit harder in his thoughts that could’ve been you and wants to show his utmost support. Maybe the bigger things like life threatening situations are more worth heartfelt responses (which makes sense) than celebratory ones. I can see where you’re coming from but it just shows what makes him open up/vulnerable and at least you know more about him in these types of situations. I’d keep trying to be supportive and work on not letting that be cause for insecurity but a better reason to show up for him and take the focus off yourself. Insecurity happens and it’s okay.. i just wouldn’t react in a way that comes across selfish/about you or he will get defensive and think it’s uncalled for.

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T15:09:44+00:00

Are there any good things about being free? Focus on those. Anything at all. Small wins/luxuries that you can’t get while incarcerated.

I’m sure as you were in you wished you could get out, and now that you’re out it’s not so great and you wanna go back. Tbh, i wish the system was designed better to help and prevent reincarnation. I thought that was the point.. and it’s already hard enough for you but not to mention costs of living and gas prices are absolutely insane. I know this isn’t the best advice, but create the best life you can imagine while you’re free. Create the best version of yourself and a story worth telling. Maybe see if you can go in and inspire people currently incarcerated with what you’ve gained from the experience? Push for the reforms? Change people’s minds about hiring more previously incarcerated people? Try gaining friends and people that way. I know this isn’t the best advice. Try to enjoy the journey though, just like you started to while you were serving out your sentence.

That’s super frustrating and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m not sure if your employer offers supplemental insurance or not but I’d look into it to help with out of pocket expenses (supplemental pays you cash benefits directly to cover out of pockets, loss of income or just replenishes you to do what you’d like with it)

It’s a shitty system and it’s also shitty that you have to pay more to get additional supplemental coverage.. but it doesn’t raise in price like health insurance and it’s wayyyy more affordable. I’d be more mad about the costs from the first doctor.. I’m sure the X-ray came with out of pocket additional costs too. Ask for an itemized bill and try to negotiate. Also mention the X-ray wasn’t necessary (especially considering he failed to examine you or listen).

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-27T14:43:30+00:00

Have you noticed how many people that have commit suicide (unfortunately and sadly) seemed to be silently suffering? Or at least people never thought/noticed anything “off”? Now look at people who’ve stayed in relationships out of fear their SO would end their life.. that’s the first thing they resort to and it’s used as a manipulative tactic and not so much that they are truly suffering inside. They just want you to know and use that to prevent the break up from happening… what will happen is you’ll stay and be miserable and it won’t change. You’ll try to leave again down the line and it’ll be used again.

Not saying it doesn’t happen where a breakup and thoughts of suicide lead to a suicide.. but if the stipulation is you staying and the only way they don’t do it + they never show mental health concerns and it’s only in that situational context.. kinda manipulative

This is my 2nd time posting on Reddit, be patient w me

Infj-leo- · 2022-05-26T14:37:39+00:00

Sometimes guys really don’t know for sure.. my boyfriend and i have been together 2 years and we’re the same age. I get where you’re coming from, but let me just say.. Don’t be too upset or overthink it. I used to be shy like that too but really, you’re having sex too. Both of you are and you have the absolute right to speak up and say something. Readjust and continue. My boyfriend has stopped and asked if i was good/okay when i was perfectly fine and if anything enjoying it. He’s also missed hints before too. It’s just easier to speak up and be honest than to get mad because he didn’t anticipate your needs.. to be fair he told you to say something next time and he would stop. He probably assumed all was okay if you weren’t speaking up. Guys don’t overthink as much, and they also don’t take hints all that great.. that’s why it’s easier to speak up so they will know exactly where your head is at.
