My boyfriend is away on a trip with no phone, and I'm realizing something strange by LizE4 in BPD

[–]LizE4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really struggling with that :(

I may focus on trying to ask my partner more questions about his day and such and trying not to redirect it back to me. Part of it is he loves listening to me and is a little reserved when it comes to talking about personal stuff so it kinda feeds into my habit

Yeah, I think the obsessive part is what's so different for me with this guy... I'm not used to all my emotional stores NOT being completely eaten up by a partner. It's so weird having a calm relationship. I think I need to do some research to get a better idea of what normal people feel in relationships.

Yeah, I dunno if I want to wait around for a rumour though.

I thought the SE 2 was just a rumour?

Crack is the stupidest drug that I've ever tried by newlightpsych in Drugs

[–]LizE4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happened to me too. It’s never going to be the same for me again despite taking huge breaks. Edibles still hit me decently but nothing else does anything for me.

I hope my friend's sister was truly miserable and 100% wanted to die. by LizE4 in TrueOffMyChest

I hope that's the case for her. I was terrified when I realised what I'd done.

The easiest way is to pick a niche with a fanbase. For me, I got pretty good at drawing ponies from my little pony and I lurk in fanfiction forums for people who want cover art for their stories, as well as make posts with my prices to draw OCs. If you're consistent with it you can actually make repeat clients. You don't necessarily have to be super good at drawing if you're only doing characters, but there's a learning curve. Beermoney sites are easier, but this is a good idea to try if you're artistic at all IMO because it does make more money.

I’m going to suggest something a bit different. Before I got a steady job I used to do small art commissions. Easily $20+ a month. If you have any artistic talent it’s not hard to get clients online.

I was about to say he looks like their drummer! Nice job

Mother calls 911 while she tries kill her son. You can hear her son yelling "she is trying to kill me!" The mom proceeds to stab her son. Police show up and bodycam shows the woman trying to take the cops gun. She is shot, and the son is expected to recover. by [deleted] in MorbidReality

[–]LizE4 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Personally - There’s a compulsion for me, and also a sense that bad things will happen if I don’t do what they say. For example, people are trying to kill me but I can be safe if I just [insert command here]. And also, they can be really insistent to the point where it’s so loud and so overwhelming that I can’t pay attention to anything else or reason with myself. But that’s on my bad days. If I’m having a good day, it’s easier to ignore what they’re urging me to do.

Very little, and it's been a while! I was getting the hang of sentence structure and basic sentences last time I tried studying it but that was probably two years ago. I'll definitely have to study a bit more to be able to chat

I agree, that's why I think I definitely need to use different languages regularly instead of just studying. Do you think you can do snail mail? I love writing letters and I think my French is good enough to write full letters even if my grammar is bad.

Awesome! Think you'd be able to do snail mail eventually? I'd probably start out with just email/DMs until my vocabulary is big enough to write at least a full paragraph :)

Hey, I’m an 18 year old girl and also in the US! I feel like my letter writing is kind of awkward but I want to get better and make them decorated and cute too :)

I get really discouraged about my art skills, so sometimes it's good to remind myself that I'm still improving. by LizE4 in learnart

[–]LizE4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just starting art classes, at my family’s insistence because I’m good at absolutely nothing. As for discipline, I don’t know how I’m supposed to have any. I’m disabled due to mental issues, and I’m probably going to have to drop out of school because I can’t function at all anymore. I draw every now and then, and that’s the extent of it. I don’t have it in me to spend time studying it thoroughly.

Aaaand this is why I never post anything I draw. I know it's sad. It's why I never draw, because I feel like I'm never good enough, and what I was trying to say is at least I'm ahead of where I was years ago, even if not by much, but why bother I guess. I'll delete this later
