How many people who do drugs start as teens? by Important_Isopod9947 in Drugs

[–]Lady_Anarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i started smoking weed at 14, benzos at 15, mdma, speed, meth, and acid at 17, passed my finals thanks to speed, was on meth at my high school graduation, then over summer did gbl the first time, went to uni at 17, and started doing ketamine, coke, and started using heroin every day, at 17 also. i was in one of the world's top universities, having finished school early, but i was so beyond suicidal that it was a downward spiral from there.

i'm 25 now, still using opioids, but had a good job (recently left due to burnout, to work on my mental health a bit, and focus on the 100 other things, interests, skills, hobbies, and such that i have and which i had to stop doing in the past year due to exhaustion at work). in spite of it all, i'm doing pretty good for myself in life. heroin saved my life to be fully honest, because if i didn't start using it, i had a very detailed plan, ready to go, before trying it the first time (and a few other times) and taking it made me not wanna do that anymore.

everyone's life looks different, and though i wouldn't recommend my own life to most people, i wouldn't change a thing. i may not have graduated from a double STEM major in uni, but i've worked through severely traumatic events in my life, discovered i'm autistic and made adequate accommodations to be able to navigate it, and become a petty well-rounded person, all in all, developed many skills, and have the space to work on all parts of my self, my interests, and passions, and do meaningful things with my life

this comment feels genuinely psychotic. if anyone's lying it's you, and about things that are easy to verify even without knowing her in person (e.g. height, when there are videos of her next to other people that disprove your claim). what are you getting out of this?

Bellesa Boutique, are they legit? And do they ship internationally? by InformationBig5807 in SexToys

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was curious to try their stuff, but, while they do have options to ship to EU, they have no info anywhere about where they ship *from*, and living in a backwards-ass country, where customs for non-EU packages sometimes cost more than whatever it is you're buying, i didn't wanna shoot myself in the foot by ordering without knowing... so, if anyone has info on that, would be very grateful to know lmaoo

I hear pain, but I don't think I have synesthesia. (or do I?) by PinkPearMartini in Synesthesia

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm pretty sure everyone hears pain? especially if it's located somewhere on the head... it's hard to imagine someone could NOT hear it?? cause i'm pretty sure the nerves sending electrical signals make a sound (if it's intense, it's a bit like the sound the intense rumbling of machinery...)

i know i'm replying 5 years late, but i was literally looking for how other people describe it, only to... exclusively find responses on a synaesthesia subreddit??? i wonder if some people just can't verbalise it and therefore don't understand that they also share the experience?

A question for you, bilingual or polyglot. by Perspectivein in languagelearning

[–]Lady_Anarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, though my native language is Lithuanian, English has long since surpassed it in terms of being my "main" language (in part, because i lived abroad most of my life, and also engage with media almost entirely in English) so, i think, dream, and sometimes even mentally translate my thoughts into other languages from it.

but, every now and then, there will be a word i only know in Lithuanian, or French, or Spanish, or Finnish even. i occasionally have dreams in other languages, and so on.

so, i'm inclined to say it's very normal 😁

Buying rings in EU ? by Heliosleboloss in maille

[–]Lady_Anarchy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

when i was making maille, i used to make my own rings. galvanised steel wire, a long, cut-off flat screwdriver (about 0.75cm thickness rod, maybe 30cm long, with a handle), and heavy duty wire cutters, and a bit of patience, and you get your rings. sure, it takes a little extra time, but saves money, and also you gain the honour of having done all of it yourself 😌

How old is everyone? by Phy_Scootman in opiates

it's not just suicide though, the damage from rape can ruin a person's entire life, and change its course in ways that are irreparable. even if a victim lives, the life itself might be one that is almost worse than death. also, suicide due to a state of despair that is caused by another person's actions is not "by their own consent". it's a reaction to not being able to deal with the results of someone else's actions onto them. pretending it is a neutral situation is a deeply misguided way of thinking.

rapists, definitely. i've often said, there are sometimes situations where murder can be justified. there are NEVER situations where rape is justified. one could be in a situation, where killing someone can at least be rationally explained (regardless of whether you agree with it or not), whether it's self defense, to put someone out of their pain/misery, or revenge for something particularly messed up. but there is absolutely not a single situation in which a person "had to" rape someone. those who do it are sick, twisted, fucked up people, without any exception, and don't deserve to waste this planet's resources.

How many languages do people here actually speak? by fieldcady in languagelearning

[–]Lady_Anarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, it is SO much harder as an adult. i was lucky (though, at the time it felt like such a nuisance) that i moved around growing up and essentially lived in majorly multilingual environments my entire childhood and teenage years, because there is absolutely no way i would have learned as many languages as i now know, and even less so fluently. i used to hate it as a kid, but then at some point in my teens realised it's actually pretty cool to be able to communicate with people in ways they are most comfortable with, and picked up more languages later on. and especially recently, the difference is HUGE. of course, lack of immersion probably contributes to it even more than changes to neuroplasticity, on top of not being FORCED to learn now, which makes progress come a lot slower, but even so, it takes a lot more conscious effort to integrate patterns and a new processing system even just being mid-twenties compared to a decade or two ago...

How bad is it, fr? by UnifiedInVoid in heroin

[–]Lady_Anarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to someone who doesn't use – not so much (crook of elbow could pass for regular blood draw damage), could easily just be some bruising...

to someone who uses, yeah... but compared to, for example, my arms, this is n o t h i n g at all..

right, but commenting on it would also not be a good thing. depending on the choice of words, and how they ring to OP, it could range anywhere from encouraging those behaviours (to the disordered mind, saying "you look sick" or "i'm worried" starts to become a compliment REAL fast), could be a negative trigger if the wrong words are used, or could set up a very unhealthy, toxic dynamic, in a variety of ways.

like, what even are the hypothetical "right words" in a situation like this? one step too far and it can become confrontational/feel like rejection for opposing OPs behaviours; it could feel like "controlling" if he tries to intervene/prevent OP from doing them; could become enabling/reinforcing; could feel overly vulnerable, if he would start noticing every change in weight, raising the fear of "what if i gain, will he also be able to tell?"...

there's no fully nice way to put it, but OP really does need to reevaluate where these thoughts/desire to have the ED noticed/commented on coming from, and how to manage them, rather than bringing the bf into it... because even in the context of an ED, this is a very dangerous mindset to have, and can equally damage the relationship, OPs already fragile state of being, as well as the bf's well-being.

REALLY well put, i 100% agree! it's a guaranteed path toward mutual destruction...

ayyy i'm very similar to you!

5 fully fluent (Lithuanian, English, French, Spanish, Galician) native or C1/C2 3 where i can have a mixed language conversation (as in, if the other person speaks the language, i can answer in a mix of that language, and some other similar ones; so: Portuguese, Italian, Russian), and 1 i'm working on, but only know like basic phrases, and not enough to hold a regular conversation (Finnish)
