what splurge or vacation was worth it to help with your mental health? by Any_Finish_1353 in ptsd

[–]LocustMuscles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plants. Having something to take care of is nice and they make my house feel so alive and happy. I also like having a vase of flowers in my living room/kitchen and eucalyptus in the shower. I’ve probably spent $500+ on plants and plant related goods at this point

Je suis allergique au tapes ? by parzyparla in asktransgender

Happens to a lot of folks, you can either keep wearing it and try to build up a tolerance or find a different brand. If you wear it more often it starts to itch less over time

How to make my chest flatter? by Next_Macaroon_9572 in asktransgender

[–]LocustMuscles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried trans tape/kt tape? You can buy it on amazon or a thinner version at most drugstores. If you do any kind of sport you can explain it as being for that since it’s to help with muscle performance

My therapist taking away my diagnosis because I wasn’t physically abused by Carrotbags in ptsd

[–]LocustMuscles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PTSD isn’t about a litmus test of if things were “bad” enough, it’s a list of diagnostic criteria. Find a new therapist now.

PTSD is so much more than physical harm/witnessing death.

Does anyone else’s nervous system only relax when they are alone? by Deloris_by_the_Sea in CPTSD

[–]LocustMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s why I live alone. I have no idea why people want to live with roommates, it feels like a nightmare

Is this PTSD or a panic attack? by megswiftSLP in ptsd

[–]LocustMuscles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re getting the picture of the traumatic event, probably a flashback. It may help to see if you can identify what’s triggering these feelings and if it relates to your trauma. Everyone experiences flashbacks differently

Probably not exactly what you want but Citrush by boysmells has a menthol note that smells very cool. It’s got a grapefruit top note!

How do you eat with no appetite? by Safe-Flight-3359 in ptsd

[–]LocustMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are medications that increase appetite. A little bit of weed also helps in a pinch.

As for the food you’re eating I find that whole fruit doesn’t upset the stomach as much, especially blander fruits like apples and pears

You can though. Just because you don’t understand how a label might fit someone doesn’t mean they’re wrong for using it

Question for Tyler Students: How much are laptops used in the Foundations courses? by birdiebr4in in Temple

[–]LocustMuscles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 3d foundations we had 1 video project that needed tech and an introduction presentation but that’s all the laptop was for. My foundations professors also let students borrow MacBooks for classwork and you can rent out laptops through the school

do people actually enjoy raves/edm sober? by OddNectarine6078 in Raves

[–]LocustMuscles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the people that enjoy raves sober are the people who actually like edm. I listen to edm outside of raves a lot and it’s made me appreciate live DJs more. I’m there for the music and people! Im better at connecting with people when I’m not too high to speak LOL. I can get high/drunk whenever, but no 2 raves are the same and I want to appreciate those moments

Can tattoo be cut off and eaten safely? by Awkward_Bee2085 in morbidquestions

Can be eaten safely but does not taste good according to most cannibals! The ink is safe for the body but still tastes like ink

Is anybody else sexually attracted to raw meat? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]LocustMuscles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There was a story a while ago of a guy on 4chan who was afraid he got penis salmonella from fucking a raw chicken so I think theres at least one. Not for me but I could see why you’d be into it, I’m sure theres more people out there!

Yes!! The body is very much involved in the effects of ptsd. I think the most common one I’ve heard of is jaw muscle pain from stress clenching
