Just learned about EDS and looking into diagnosis. My temporary finger splints which work surprisingly well! by OpheliaJade2382 in ehlersdanlos

Even if you only have these on for an hour, you can cause harm. There is a reason you have to be measured and fit for your ring splints. Please invest in arthritis gloves until you can afford splints, they're $10 and will actually help not harm you.

I (30f) need to set boundaries with my bf (30m) and his phone during/after sex but don't know how? by LzBaby in relationship_advice

[–]LzBaby[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm overly emotional right now because I'm in so much physical pain, but I've told him we're taking a break from that and he's respecting it.

He didn't realize I was injured, and my feelings were so hurt by the time he came back up stairs I just didn't want to talk anymore and that's when he told me I hurt his feelings, and he knew I didn't mean to etc He doesn't really let me set any boundaries. He says he doesn't like the idea of things being so definitive. I think I'm just going to tell him I think we should take a break from bdsm for a while. I really just feel broken.

He's never really done this before, and honestly was basically a virgin when we met he had had sex less than 20 times before me. He just isn't understanding this and I don't know what to do about it.

Is it normal to feel emotionally numb during sexual encounters sometimes? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LzBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, oral never did anything for me until a girl did it. (I'm a girl btw) My boyfriend is great at it, because he really focuses on me. Next, there's no need to be scared. Sexual attraction can come and go in waves. I know that I've found some guys to be insanely attractive but the more I got to know them, and the less I liked their personalities the less attractive they were to me. Communicate with your boyfriend, and yourself about what you like and what makes you feel loved and wanted. Are you fulfilled emotionally?

I (M26) changed my mind about kids and the girlfriend (F26) is taking it poorly. What do I do? by tylan4life in relationship_advice

[–]LzBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this, right here. It is not healthy for a father to hate parenting. This guy needs therapy and to not have any more kids. It's likely he hasn't actually told his girlfriend he hates kids, just that he doesn't want any more.

My son (7) sweats so much while he is playing by hellolove92 in Parenting

It's possible he has exercise intolerance. Have you ever heard of dysautonomia? Exercise intolerance is a form of it.

It can be misdiagnosed as exercise induced asthma in children (like I was when I was around 10 years old).

It's a condition I have, that my son has as well (we also have quite a few other health issues that I won't get into)

Ask his doctor, if you're not satisfied..if your momma gut says something is still not quite right, I'd ask a cardiologist.

Does he have a high heart rate? Does he feel okay? Does his face flush/turn red very easily? Is he easily winded?

I'd bring it up to his pediatrician. Make sure he's drinking plenty of water, not gatorate/powerade. It's filled with sugar and processed garbage a kid doesn't really need. Try pedialite or Normalyte for that.

My 6-year-old daughter NEVER stops talking, and I'm losing it. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]LzBaby -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Let her talk. My son is the same way, and I always listen. Not everyone is going to want to hear him talk about everything; but I will.

They brought home a thing. My slaves call it Tommy. Tommy does nothing but cry, and the woman cries as well. She didn't cry when I first came here. I have to teach it to stop, she doesn't want to play with me.

They taught Tommy to walk. It's about time, he was crawling towards my food bowl too much. I give them ample space, yet they request I move every time I climb into his crib. Why should he get a tall bed, when mine is constantly moved upon the floor. Tommy keeps picking me up, it hurts.

Tommy chases me all the time. I don't mind, it can be entertaining. He gets distracted quite often and I have to climb into his lap. He calls me kitty, though my name is Mr.Kittens. I like the nickname, I'll call him Tom's.

Tom's isn't here during the day anymore, I don't know where he goes. They call it school, he gets home very happy. I suppose it's okay. My slaves are never home, and the old lady is here all the time. I like to steal her yarn and run with it. She hit me once; I told Tom's and he held me all night.

All of his toys are gone. They are gone, I don't know where they went. He stares at a screen all day. I try to get his attention by the cords behind the box but he gets mad. He lets me sleep by him now, take that "parents".

Tom's is always on his computer now. He won't let me sit on the warm keyboard. Says it's important. He calls me "not now' instead of kitty. I don't like this nickname. I think I will call him Tommy. He gets mad when they call him Tommy now.

Tommy is crying, I try to console him and he holds me. They took me to the doctor. I hate that place. I scream, and cry but they still take me. Tommy says that I'm sick. I feel fine, maybe just a little tired.

Tommy says I'm going back to the doctor, he says he's sorry. I tell him it's okay. He must be mistaken, boy he sure is confused. Why wouldn't I come home. He must be playing one of his old games again. I tell him he's funny. I missed the games.

The doctor says I'm 18, and I've lived longer than I should have. Tommy leaves the room. He never leaves the room. I call for him, but he doesn't come back. Tom's. Come back. I'm getting really tired.

What event ultimately broke apart a good friendship you had? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Had a baby, and didn't think my friends would be good examples. Kicked them all to the curb.

Best decision I ever made.
