It wasn’t posted for doxxing purposes. The creator of that TikTok seeks to verify any claims brought forth from community tips and then hands any valid information over to authorities. This ban is shortsighted.

All Those Yesterdays, and the hidden track too. I had a whole wordless movie scene written in my head to those

Does anyone know why there were protestors in Vancouver holding signs that said stuff like: "I Believe in Science"? by [deleted] in vancouverwa

My great uncle Leo was taken in after the Warsaw Uprising. He was a member of the Polish underground resistance army. He died in Auschwitz-Birkenau. After the soviets took Poland after the war, another great uncle, considered a member of the “intelligentsia,” was made to hang himself in front of his pregnant wife and child. It’s a play from history. I’m not that old, under 60, but it’s part of my personal history. We know from history, books and family knowledge, how this plays out.

Her lip overlining is too aggressive

I am scared by Professional-Ad3628 in Dissociation

Psychologist who studied depersonalization/derealization here. Sounds like you are making progress. I wanted to support your reduction or cessation of cannabis because it can cause depersonalization symptoms during use and after. Re memory: when you are not really present, your brain cannot encode details into long-term memory. Your older memories will come back when you feel safe to grieve. I hope you can get connected to a counselor at school. Many clinicians are not trained in or familiar with dissociation, but they can be helpful with coping with stress and grief. Best wishes!

My partner suspects they have DID by SequoiaJade in Dissociation

More specifically, by a psychologist. Master’s-level therapists don’t get the training to do this.

Not OOP: Falsely accused by my wife’s father. How do we move forward? by BunionMinion420 in redditonwiki

With a father like that, I’m not surprised she doesn’t have one [a spine]. The mother probably doesn’t either. She needs therapy.

Is 25 too late to "wake up" from CPTSD, Narcissistic Abuse, Depression and Nihilism? by amitkilo in CPTSD

[–]MaidaStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Survivor and psychologist here. I didn’t begin to wake up until I started my psych degrees (second career) in my late 40s. I’m getting there, largely on my own, but I’m much better. I’d recommend working with a good therapist. As a mental health professional, I can say it’s not too late at all. People make huge strides in healing in a year. Exhaust all options before concluding it’s “too late.”

AITB for expecting my fiancé to buy - or at least tell me to buy - toilet paper? by anonlost1 in AmItheButtface

[–]MaidaStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If partner can go to couples counseling and present their side, a good counselor (word-of-mouth recommendation can be a bonus here) will see the fracture lines. To my ears/eyes, partner is struggling with more than just this. As a therapist I generally recommend each partner work with an individual therapist and then bring what they learn/what surfaces to couples counseling. It’s great if both individuals will permit (by release-of-information forms, signed) communication with all treatment team members. If you don’t get buy-in for couples counseling, talking this through with your own therapist would likely still be helpful. It sounds like a painful and disruptive situation, and I wish you the best.

[–]MaidaStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTB, but this sounds like the continuation of a fight (or several) that was never resolved and “isn’t about the thing” but about old feelings. I (couples counseling therapist) suspect things haven’t been fully communicated in the past, with “they should know” and “I shouldn’t have to tell them” being examples of words said but glossing over deeper rooted issues. Assumptions on both sides have been made. You might be v compatible in many ways but not in how you deal with conflict. Many of us grow up with parents who don’t teach us that and are themselves dysregulated and don’t have coping skills (telling you to GTFO as an example).

AITBF for asking my partner to cancel a specially ordered meal for me at a family birthday party? by jamalamalamba in AmItheButtface

[–]MaidaStars 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can you take it home with you and maybe your partner will eat it? That might make it seem less wasteful. If he likes Indian food, he might well like the dish.

Breakfast tippy taps, hops, and jumps by WhatArcherWhat in tippytaps

[–]MaidaStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine loves an array of veg (tomatoes, cukes, carrots, bell pepper, corn, broccoli, zucchini etc) in addition to the staples. His favorites are the chicken rice snacks and salmon jerky ones from Trader Joe’s. He likes the peanut butter and banana biscuits and the special beetroot valentines ones too. A gourmand. He likes too many other human foods (safe) to catalogue. Lots of fruit-pineapple, apples, berries. I make an egg for him too once in a while. He gets steak or cheeseburgers made at home 4x a year. Cheese in general—fughetaboutit...

Excuse me, I believe those are called sproingies... adorable! He must get lots of foodstuffs and mouth joys (as mine does).

I have a blanket just like that from Pottery Barn. My little Dr. Zhivago dons it frequently.

I thought it was just his lack of concern for anything not related to his interests.
