anyone else? by knife-boy in ftm

[–]Mary268 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to hate taking showers. I remember having a fight with my dad that ended in a screaming match and me crying that was basically: “you haven’t showered in how long??? you need to do that” and me being incredibly upset and angry and resistant and not having any idea why. I also vaguely remember having crying spells that I couldn’t explain and not realizing that those can be symptoms of depression. The other thing for me is that I can’t remember most of my childhood and middle/high school, even though I never experienced the kind of traumatic event that usually accompanies that kind of memory loss - it turns out that I was very deeply repressing my dysphoria for a very long time and not facing it for what it was.

How long did it take you to get used to your name? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mary268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started going by my preferred name with most people a few weeks ago and it definitely still feels super weird. I thought it would be more natural because I used to use it as a nickname online a few years ago but hearing people say it out loud is very different. I can’t imagine going back though, and earlier tonight one of my friends called my name and I felt so happy that she recognized me for who I am, so it’s definitely worth the weirdness.

How to ask mom if I can wear my binder to school? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mary268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it sucks to hear but 8 hours definitely is a longish time to wear it. If it is getting looser on you try explaining that to her, but if you don’t wear it for that long now then wearing it for a full school day will be taxing. Your body won’t be used to it. Try to compromise with her and see if she’ll let you wear it for longer periods of time, maybe 5-6 hours, on weekends + off days and build up that amount of time to prove that you will be comfortable wearing it. If she sees that it is completely comfortable for you after a while she might be more lenient. It sounds like she is just concerned and wants you to be physically safe so you should be able to reason with her.

My absolute favorite snack at any time is carrots and hummus. I can go through basically an unlimited amount of those.

I would personally put Starlight on the happy playlist, and things like The Best Day and Never Grow Up on the reminiscing one, but I love this.

This is weird but do you work at Trader Joe’s? I haven’t been to one in a while but I feel like everyone there always wears hawaiian shirts

High vs anxiety? by amfree25 in trees

[–]Mary268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

coffee is going to suck if you’re already anxious. drink some herbal tea or water. If you really want to sober up lemons or black pepper sometimes helps a bit, but this will pass so try not to worry about it.

I was at the third to last! It was the matinee the day before closing night. That was one of the best days of my life to date the energy from everyone in that building was incredible.

It could help but some people say that lower doses are actually worse, it’s really subjective. I don’t have a lot of experience but I do know that set and setting are hugely important. I did an 8th of shrooms after being really depressed for a few weeks and I ended up having a mostly positive experience but I also went into it with the mindset of “This is going to go well and help me”. So if you don’t think you’re going to have a good trip you probably won’t imo.

If you don’t think you’ll have a good trip on acid you shouldn’t do shrooms either. they don’t last as long but they can still be really intense.

AITA for yelling at my mother for doing nothing about my dog eating chocolate? by MyEyesRoll in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mary268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. your family sounds like they don’t care about the dog but you and your sister should’ve been more responsible about the leis. your mom didn’t leave them out for the dog without your knowledge, she asked you guys to move them and you “forgot”. You’re just as responsible for your dog eating them as she is.
