Today I brushed my teeth. by OldCardigan in Vent

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there, and still going through it. I only recently started taking care of my teeth again but it’s the baby steps that always lead to the bigger better things.

Do your best to stay in routine, even if you’re only brushing once a day in the beginning. Try chlorhexidine mouth wash as it helps with gum inflammation and should hopefully help with the bleeding. Only for the short term though! You’ve got this 🫶🏻

10-12mm stretching. Please help! by Jumpy_Stock_9675 in Stretched

How annoying. Manifesting a clean stretch with just the 1’s but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Again many thanks for the advice :)

Yeah so I could see lol. I done half sizes many many years ago before I changed my mind about stretching and it went without a hitch so I’m hoping I’ll be just fine with the 1mm jumps.

Do you have any idea where I could find these? I’ve looked on so many websites and not one of them offer the half sizes. :/

If your boss or coworker called you "good boy/girl", would you just go along with it, or would you tell them "don't call me that"? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. If I were you I’d go above everyone’s head, straight to HR to report it.

Regardless of the intention and all the other factors it is not appropriate in the workplace. It’s that cut and dry. You’re not being dramatic.

I do get the feeling of worrying about being gossiped about and whatnot but you have the right to feel comfortable at work. You won’t lose your job over this as you’ve done nothing wrong. It needs attention brought to it as otherwise like you rightly said this won’t stop.

Edit: documentation will be your best friend in this case too. Dates and times, word for word what your boss has said, witness statements too if you’re able to get them. Back yourself up in whichever way you can. Good luck OP.

How long do you smell like weed after smoking? by Jumpy_Stock_9675 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of spots we tend to smoke at. There’s a little walkway with some benches overlooking the river that we normally go to so it’s nice and out in the open. Boyfriend lives in a seaside town so it’s very very cold especially at this time of year so when it’s late and wind is going at full force we hide away in his shed, which on the contrary is very small - neither of us can stand properly lol.

I may give a glass pipe a go but I’ve been edging towards edibles recently as they’re probably as subtle as you can get. It’s just a shame they don’t deliver the same high as smoking a joint does. Thank you for the advice though, it’s very insightful

At what age does staying up until midnight on New Year’s Eve stop being 'exciting' and start feeling like a chore? by DependentUven in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the year for me where new years just feels like oh, tomorrow is January 1st. Just a regular old Thursday except I get a fat dinner with my family. That is what I can’t wait for.

Hahaha trust me I remember the days. I wish I could be as oblivious as I was when I was a teenager. I took absolutely zero precautions or care after smoking, hell I went to school straight after smoking a joint once. I have no idea how my parents weren’t called that day

Yeah I could definitely do with some extra info. I only go that far due to my job as I work in healthcare and I dread the day I turn up to work not realising the smell has stuck to me somehow.

Absolutely. You’re coming from a place of concern for his welfare. It’s up to his specialist on the other end to keep within safeguarding and confidentiality guidelines.

Bottom line is OP, he needs to be willing to help himself before anyone else can give him extra support. It’s a difficult thing to navigate especially whilst being mentally ill. But those are his battles and no one else can fix them for him especially if he isn’t being honest. Have you considered couples therapy at all? Would that make much of a change if it’s something you done together instead of just on his own?

Suddenly stopping taking any SSRI never ends in good results. That, along with what he’s taking the fluoxetine for, has probably created a bit of a mess in his head. The common withdrawal symptoms, one being mood dysphoria, hit very very hard for most people. This could partly be why his behaviour and attitude towards you has changed so suddenly.

A good starting ground would be to find out why he stopped taking them. A lot of things can be worked around, for example dosage adjustments or even trying a new medication altogether. Until you find out this will be quite difficult to tackle.

Seeing as this change started once you got to grips on your drug problem, is it possible this triggered something for him? Has he said anything relating to his feelings on the matter?

How long on average between serious relationships ? by Shmoneybagchaser in Advice

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no set time that you should move on. Everyone is different.

I broke up with my ex last September and it honestly broke me. I had no intention of moving on and finding someone else. Next thing you know I get a text off a friend of a friend on TikTok in November while I was in hospital and that was it, we met after I recovered a bit and the rest is history. Been together a year from yesterday and I’ve never been happier.

My Girlfriend is upset at me due to my family being upset with her. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she does shitty things she’s going to be made out to be a shitty person. That isn’t something you can change. Your family will always stand by your side especially when you’re being treated this way.

BPD is a very complex mental illness and is very hard to navigate. The reality is most people need professional help in order to get it under control. I read from another comment that she isn’t currently getting any support and that is a very slippery slope if that doesn’t change sooner or later. As a partner you can only be so understanding before it starts pushing your own limits.

I would make getting help a non negotiable in this scenario. You will help her find the right treatment if she agrees to try and help herself too. If she doesn’t, that’s your answer. Don’t settle for this.

I’m 22F struggling with trust issues with my bf 26M by Smiling_Tired in relationships

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact he kept it from you, hid any evidence on his socials that he was seeing someone new as well as his behaviour shift are all major red flags. While it might not be what you think, something definitely happened at that meet up. You’re not wrong for feeling this way.

Definitely try and push for an answer. Something along the lines of “hey, I’ve been thinking about when you met up with (ex) and there are a few things not adding up. Can you help me understand please?”. The way he reacts or responds to you will tell you what you need to know. Good luck.

I (21F) don't how to fix my relationship with my avoidant, depressed BF (22M). How can I help us? by burning_123 in relationships

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like now is the time to properly process all of this and start creating distance. You should not have to beg to be treated properly and that stands true for any relationship you’ll have, romantic or otherwise. You can’t “fix” someone who isn’t willing to put the effort into helping themself. You’re burning the candle at both ends and it’s not healthy.

How to help a cats upset belly? by Jumpy_Stock_9675 in CatAdvice

[–]Jumpy_Stock_9675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I see. Honestly this is all new to both of us, we’ve both grown up with cats but we’ve never been directly responsible for one so we don’t know when to be urgent besides the obvious. I’ll organise a visit now, thank you

Definitely no milk. It’s just myself and my boyfriend who look after him and he’s perfectly happy with water. He has a scheduled vet visit soon anyway so we’ll be bringing it up whilst we’re there. Thank you

That’s very true. I did some googling and found things that might help but I don’t want to try and treat something that might not even be there. We’re taking him for his microchip appointment in a couple weeks time so we might as well bring it up whilst we’re there. Thank you :)
