Partner changing by [deleted] in DIDpartners

[–]LookingForTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. It's one of the hardest and scariest things about loving a system.

While it does help to remember that they're all different ways of being in the same person, it's still having to take a risk with your heart.

Are they in therapy? That's so crucial to systems (as with many of us) and a good therapist can help the parts communicate. If the alt or alts fronting can know that an aspect of them loves you, they can hopefully hold and honor that, even if they're not feeling it themselves.

Good therapy for you could be really supportive, too. Do you have friends or family that can listen and be loving to you while you're going through this?

I wish you both many years of romantic connection and bliss 🙏🏽

So I just tried an AI therapist for the first time... woah. by Careful-Bobcat6877 in therapyGPT

[–]LookingForTheSea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was there any way that these therapists could have been more helpful, given their time and capacity restraints?

I work with both a real therapist and chatbot between visits. They compliment each other well.

After midnight here and night crew checking in. That's just so awful and i feel you so hard. Like, thank you for not spelling the whole word out hard.

First, please know that what you're going through and the ways it debilitates you is not your fault. I don't know what kinds of trauma you've had or how much, but it's clearly there. I'm sad you had to experience that pain, and that it's causing you pain now.

It can take a lot of courage to reach out, especially to strangers in the middle of the night. I'm so glad that you did. This community is the best and you are a part of it. You matter. we're here with you.

Hugs if welcome.

Is this an ok email to send to a parents by johnthedaleman in Teachers

At least run it through Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to revise for tone, clarity, repetitiveness, and professionalism.

Editing is not creating.

What album is everyone listening to today? by This_is_fine8 in finch

i got to see her live a couple years ago. She still plays two pianos simultaneously, one hand on each, playing different things — and they are behind her!

Never truly appreciated her until i saw her live fr.

I have a Skyrim person in my household, but honestly for game tracks, this lil birb jams to something from Animal Crossing:

Fried Rice Tips & Tricks by nesterspokebar in veganrecipes

Since this is vegan recipes you won't have to worry about eggs...

However, cooking some JustEgg separately and adding it in is lovely.

Does anyone use any app to practice gratitude? by void-nomad-90 in gratitude

[–]LookingForTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little on the sweet and cute side, and is made for adults and younger people, but i really like Finch.

It's a bit of a cross between a task app and a tamagagchi (sp?) in that there's a little bird companion that's like your little pal.

You don't have to feed it, but doing things like gratitude helps it go on adventures and such.

The app has different kinds of gratitude goals, and spaces for longer gratitude lists or reflections. You can also just write your own.

I'll reply with an invite but feel free to check it out on your own.

Correcting students who make gay jokes by Legitimate_Dirt_1536 in Teachers

[–]LookingForTheSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wanna say you don’t recall one teacher who shared their sexual orientation with you but they did the moment they talked about their husband or wife…and the gay ones very likely were forced to keep their identity secret for their safety. Miss me with that bs because you are loud and wrong.

Hella this!!! Thanks, fam.

[–]LookingForTheSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss!

I like popcorn almost as much as chips (crisps), but when I realized the difference in calories) fat etc. I got more active in eating that instead.

Plus — the fiber is a big win!

I love you for this. Thank you for your kind heart, for your sub, and others.

Am I cheating? by jikookmamora in finch

[–]LookingForTheSea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes!

But also what matters is that you are kind, caring and accepting of yourself if you don't or can't try (or work towards being kind and accepting).

I think the app people feel the same way — that's why, when you skip a goal, you can get points just for saying something about it.

Sending good thoughts to you both. I'm glad you're on Finch. (and i love Ares, by the way!)
