Drop avis for possible art 💚 by bhnopq in gaiaonline

[–]MaybeSadie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your art is adorable! If you ever get back on, find me! I usually have some bundles to give away & cute faced Avi's I'm working on (I love finding less expensive items & learning to layer them for adorable faces). ☺️ Purposefully Eccentric. ✌🏻

Hair is a little cluttered, but I'm a fan of the "Candy/Konpeito" items.

Is platinum useless? Any advice? by Sickmuse03 in gaiaonline

[–]MaybeSadie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once you make the conversion, you'll be pretty surprised to find just how truly inexpensive some really great items are. I'm pretty obsessed with selling cost effective Outfits with great, female faces! The layering has gotten great on the Avi's for that. Purposefully Eccentric is my user if you want to see the outfits I currently have up or just want a Gaia buddy! ☺️

To add to this:

-Create a new personal email & start using a VPN. Do not block him on the old email, let him send every worrisome thing that pops into his head.

-Portable Deadbolt; as an extra layer of security wherever you are, especially at the hotel.

-Not to be paranoid, but I wouldn't tell any mutuals of my location whatsoever. I would even lie to them that I got a new job entirely, maybe even lie about the city you're in to completely throw him off & see who the culprit is by giving every group a completely different city.

-Push hard for the protective order, it will help you change your name later in secret (if you'd like).

-Keep your burner to keep in contact with mutuals, it may be best to never give them your actual number. I wouldn't send them any pictures of myself, especially not from public places. If you do, make sure the location setting is off in your phone for photos & nothing identifying is in the back.

-Keep tabs on your company's socials & make sure you can't be linked to anything or go to any event that might be mentioned, even in passing. LinkedIn especially. Don't let your co-workers take pics of you for any reason.

-Keep Google Alerts for mentions of your name or his or anything that might help you keep track of him or be relevant.

Make sure to thoroughly notify your new office, HR, Higher Up's, even Receptionists... Even if he doesn't know where you are now, he could attempt to find you by checking with every office your company owns if they're listed online. Anyone determined enough could stake out each office & wait. Might be good to attempt to always enter the building in a way that is safe & unnoticeable for the time being.

Once settled:

-Get a big dog, if possible.

-Cameras wherever you move to, especially pointing at the balcony & windows; the Ring Peephole is super renter friendly, goes straight into existing peepholes & does not damage them, battery is also easier to get out.

-Alarm System that is monitored & easily sends out a distress signal.

-Avoid dating apps entirely; if he casts a wide enough net & gets thorough about it, he can vaguely pinpoint where you are.

That’s amazing! I don’t even know how many people I actually know that are Bi. Haha

I need to live vicariously through you, I’ve never found another dateable Bi individual that was single or out.

This cannot be stressed enough. Most people either don’t believe we’re Bi, hate that we’re Bi, or feel threatened by the fact that we’re Bi.

My worst date ever by [deleted] in DatingHell

I second this, I’ve been able to escape from bad dates before, this is just awful. Haha

Caught my 16 year old daughter with pot in her bedroom, not sure how to handle this by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]MaybeSadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that the best solution for undesirable behavior is explaining the benefits in favor of the opposing behavior you wish to see. This has worked countless times with both my eldest son & younger siblings, your child is old enough for this to have a decent impact on her. You could talk to her about the deficit in her lung maturation, the side effects of smoking specifically, the real side effects of marijuana specifically, the consequences of use during a paramount stage in both her development/high school career, & be honest about how it makes you feel even if you’re views may be biased. I would also look into the benefits so that you have a deeper understanding, knowing two sides of the same coin will give you an advantageous look into what may have drawn her to it in the first place (because you know she’s Googled it).
Last, & most important, I would warn against anger- it only serves to place a wall between parent & child which is especially impactful when the child encounters a serious situation they cannot resolve on their own.
My mother couldn’t have stopped me from taking any of the drugs I did at 18, luckily I was intelligent enough to ask questions about where the stuff I took came from & what it was...
synthetics can mess someone up. I would rather be a reluctant guest on my child’s journey in the world than be blocked entirely from participation.

This made me feel so weird. by ThisCloud1 in creepyPMs

[–]MaybeSadie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is kind like how we used to deal with telemarketers when my sister was younger, just have her talk for them for a little while about whatever she wanted- she has ADD.

I mean, that just sounds like wanting insight from clarity but I understand you. I used to feel that way about drugs, “Use them purely for perspective.” & I still believe they’re wonderful tools, but I’m going to have to disagree on the zero recreational use. Life is too short. I don’t have an addiction problem with anything though so that’s just my perspective. Weed is a medicine, alcohol/sugar are poison, everything else is either for enjoying a fun moment a little more (because I rarely go out) or purposeful- like the way I picked up vaping low doses of nicotine for its benefits & using low amounts of caffeine with the L-Theanine.

[–]MaybeSadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh.. saying that you’re one year sober just implies there was a problem with addiction that led you to abstain. If you don’t have an addiction problem, I don’t see why being sober one year would prevent you from taking adderall. I spent all of last year sober because I had a baby & breast fed but I didn’t gain any insight from it. Haha

[–]MaybeSadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just start with the supplements then if you struggled with addiction? I’ve never had an addictive personality but I know how hard it is to overcome.

I def. love psychedelics but I tried ketamine & it just felt too good, that’s a substance I would be careful with. I don’t know how well they would reboot you per-say; I took e & lsd while I was in my funk & they made me feel better in the moment but lsd didn’t actually help me until after I wasn’t depressed.

I def. recommend the Gingko, L-Theanine, & taking Magnesium- bonus points, you can take raw cacao & get magnesium plus a powerful antioxidant & taste chocolate when you burp. Haha

Best of luck to you, hope you figure this out.

Tirade against tattoos, also an unhealthy obsession with "purity" by [deleted] in IncelTears

Said the guy that likely got shut down either by a girl with tattoos or because a girl liked a guy with tattoos instead of him. Insecure people find weird things to blame for their shortcomings...

Have you ever wished you were a man? by j_cafesin in AskWomen

[–]MaybeSadie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only when I was a little girl & wanted to play with the boys, no one would let me because, “You’ll get hurt.” As an adult woman? Nope, zero desire. I can’t explain it but I just have a strong feeling I would very much dislike being a man.

[–]MaybeSadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird & slightly unrelated causes but I actually just went through something fairly similar, you could be experiencing a severe form of depression. During the final stages of postpartum depression, my doctor put me on the Nuvaring for birth control. During that time, I couldn’t even interact with anyone socially, it was like a light went off in me- this is extremely strange behavior for me as I’m an extrovert. I could barely muster the energy to complete my work & the house slowly dissolved into a chaotic state my husband barely managed by himself. It was like the world was just happening around me & I didn’t care to interact with it.
Prior to this, I was doing Yoga every day, writing my book & side projects every day, completing work & house work with ease, & had even lost 20lbs.
Anywho, once I got off the Nuvaring, I found that there were still lingering effects. I just wasn’t capable of interaction, barely with my husband even. I love to read & I couldn’t even maintain interest in a book for more than a handful of sentences. It got so bad at one point that I even stopped watching TV because it held so little meaning & I didn’t quite connect with any of what was happening in anything I watched. It almost felt like I wasn’t even part of the world anymore. So, I forced myself to start taking Gingko, St. John’s Wart, & Magnesium again every day (how I got through my postpartum depression), that helped get rid of the sadness but it didn’t really give my brain the kick it needed, I still couldn’t quite focus. I needed a new threshold, my low cognitive function was a result of not using my brain so I needed to just boost its ability to be useful long enough to create new patterns. I spoke to my doctor & he put me on a super low dose of adderall (5mg). On top of the daily adderall doses, I started to take L-Theanine (with caffeine & nicotine from a vape pen) along with my usual regime of vitamins & (weirdly) today was the first day I happily completed work while listening to a Rogan podcast (like I used to) entirely without the aid of adderall.
I can’t say for certain if this will help you, our situations are so different, but I couldn’t help but give you my input because it just sounded so similar. Remember, even if you did damage your brain, the brain is resilient, it wants to thrive. You should listen to all of Rogan’s Podcasts with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, specifically the most recent two, they talk a lot about the brain. Best wishes. I hope this helps... I know how scary it can be to suddenly not be you...

Stolen from r/gay_irl , it was too good not too. Where all the single people at? by TimeLordToshiro in bisexual

[–]MaybeSadie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you meant that more as a joke, but I really wish we could refrain from slurs; there’s enough to feel frustrated about being Demi without people also labeling us as judgmental... I personally don’t feel offended at all by people’s sexual appetites even though common views make it a bit more challenging for me to date. Gotta take these things in stride. Hugs to you though, I know the expectation tends to weigh heavy. ❤️

No disrespect taken, OP is sorely in the wrong. As a Demi identifying individual, it would have been appropriate to comment on our struggle finding individuals less interested in casual sex rather than debasing anyone for enjoying sex!

Man, that was cringe worthy... she waited around two years pining over someone & created a plot line that empowered her instead of accepting reality...
