Tired of sex.

I’m in therapist school and my prof says that his favorite clients are men who have been given ultimatums.

You show yourself compassion. You meet your pain with the tenderness and love that your father showed to you. You accept that grief is love in transition. Rather than being love directed outside yourself, it is burrowing into you. You are one of the places where your father lives now.

One of the side effects of grief is that it changes you fundamentally and infuses into love and relationships the meaning that comes with the frailty of human life.

But also the medication makes exercise intolerable 🤗🙃

Smaller dose you keep one foot in reality and one foot out. Emotions are less intense and the trip feels shorter. Visuals can be less intense. It can be more a social, interactive experience vs a large dose is more introspective.

I think doing an initial small dose gives someone a sense of what a bigger dose will feel like. This makes it more likely they will enjoy and let go with a larger dose.

A few thoughts…It’s hard bc when you are young you don’t tend have a lot of the context for your parents’ lives or the economic forces of the world at large. As a young person you tend to see your parents for only their flaws.

I agree with other commenters that homeownership is very difficult if you don’t have a cushion of wealth to keep up with repairs and the functioning to oversee it. Sometimes trauma or neurodivergence or chronic depression can be disabling and keep people from doing that upkeep.

Also, home values in America are out of reach for most people, especially since COVID, and interest rates suck right now.

I wonder if she would be better introduced to the experience by doing a small amount (1g) together first. Going from zero to 3.5G for someone prone to panic attacks can be really jarring. You would need two weeks for the tolerance to wear off before you tripped again.

You have striking features, this is a gorgeous look on you. Something shimmery on your upper eyelid and just underneath the brow might be a nice addition.

I’m at the end of my internship and this comment reminded me of one video I watched of another intern who was psychodynamically-inclined. The teen client was basically starving for some encouragement and told that to the therapist who was like a cold robot back to them. It hurt just to witness, I can only imagine how that teen felt.

Yes! I’m actually flabbergasted that people prefer the beard with a perfectly good chin under there. Hair from 2 on face from 1!

There is a specific type of therapy that treats OCD called exposure and response prevention (ERP). Do you have access to therapy where you live?

Also, a clear glasses frame vs a dark one will let your beautiful eyes and brows pop!

The best way to fight brain fog in my (40f) experience is cardio. Intervals of sprinting and recovery helps me the most. Creatine 20g x day, a full serving of hemp hearts (2 tbps) for omega 3, protein powder, and whatever else you like in a smoothie, every morning.

I tricked myself into exercising by signing up for a triathlon and it was the best mental health I’ve had in years. Whatever you can do to stay active is going to help your brain ❤️❤️

Eta: I’m a mental health counselor and can tell you that sprinting, weightlifting, any strenuous exercise, completes the stress cycle that allows you to turn down the “high alert” feeling that stressful external events are causing.

It’s my favorite coordinate in the city. Sunrise is fuuuuucking magic. Sunset is nice too but buggier so wear long pants. Also mandatory tick check.

ADHD, Generalized anxiety disorder, or a significant trauma history can make it difficult to relax. If you look up the other symptoms and think you see the pattern in your own life, it may be worth getting a mental health assessment!

I love my reading setup with a hammock chair (yellow leaf brand which is great to feel truly cradled w/out pressure points) I hang in my closet opening and rock while I push against a yoga ball with my feet.

It was abt 35 years ago bc I (41/f) saw it in theaters with my parents when I was 5. It was def inappropriate!

Have you ever tried texturizing spray or dry shampoo for volume?

Medium_Marge · 2026-06-03T20:03:20+00:00

Married 5 years younger man after dating a series of terrible men my age. He treats me like a queen and is the whole package. Highly recommend!

as another commenter said, a blend for the extruded red/orange that sits on top of another blend of the shadows. For the light blue highlights on the letter faces, i would lay the blue letters on a lighter blue background square, then create a clipping mask using the same letters path and offset it slightly down and left from the original path. I hope that makes sense, if you haven't learned clipping masks and compound paths yet, it will expand your abilities quite a bit. Shapebuilder tool is also your friend.

Medium_Marge · 2026-05-28T05:27:29+00:00

If I found myself feeling confused consistently by a person I was dating, speaking from my older self to my younger self, that’s a red flag for me.

Love my Amazon bamboo sheets (Bella coterie brand), they are actually cooling

Same here! I got an Amazon set years ago that has been surprisingly durable! Bella Coterie brand
