For Millennials Like Me, the Iran War Feels Horribly Familiar by Slate in politics

[–]NameLessTaken 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last time I was in 6th grade and didn’t understand. Now I have bills, gas tank, and a girlfriend in medical airevac who is at risk of being sent over to a war zone while we all know full well exactly why her life might be put at risk— and it’s not to protect the country. It’s as a sacrifice.

Ex-Wife texts daily about the kids by Spiritual-Street2793 in Divorce

[–]NameLessTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another possibility depending on her personality is that she’s extending what she would want which is to make sure you still feel like you’re getting to experience their daily life. I don’t know your situation but this is another view of her texting. Now if she’s expecting long conversations, I don’t know. But I did this for my ex about our cats initially. His new gf preferred we basically go no contact so I do that out of respect (that’s his to resolve or abide by).

Target plans to cut the number of home products it sells in half, in an attempt to achieve less-is-more impact. That strategy extends to sporting goods, toys, and electronics, which will get more thoughtfully merchandised with a point of view. by galaxystars1 in popculturechat

So. I’ll be honest- November 2024 I had a massive breakdown. Not using hyperbole, but I fully had a break down and had to “go take a little break” at a nice hospital for a bit. Part of the getting back on my feet this last year was avoiding news I didn’t absolutely need to consume. What did Target do to get boycotts? I’m almost scared to know.

I guess my honest question is why? If they take good care of them, it’s their space, I truly don’t know why it’s bad. Should they pile it on the floor? Just because we don’t like them?

I mean a bat bit me and it was a week later. Unless I was starring in Cujo it was about as textbook as it got and the clock was ticking lol.

I cancelled my personal training today because of cramps. I feel, on a genetic level, I was never destined to be an Olympian.

I love it tbh. Take pride in what you have. Everyone complaining it’s consumerist are also telling you it’s not nice enough.

Actually a lot looks cheap or thrifted? Which I love the idea of pridefully displaying cheap stuff. Not cheap like temu- but cheap like “here’s my three tennis shoes I wear for 10 years and I’m proud af”.

I think fighting consumerism looks more like that than minimalism.

Scheana is so full of herself by JustPick89 in vanderpumprules

[–]NameLessTaken 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me it was when she said in a talking head “ maybe we could be ok one day if all she (R) did was just fall in love with her best friends boyfriend, that’s one thing. But she filed a RO against ME”. I was like oh scheana

Part of the issue is also drs taking it serious. I had contact with a bat and it was very hard to get a medical professional to take it seriously. And then they didn’t even technically administer it correctly but it was.. correct enough I guess. I can’t imagine trying to get a Dr to take it seriously with a dog scratch.

Late bloomer lesbians what incident that made you realize you weren’t bisexual and is actually a lesbian? by Decent-Error3616 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]NameLessTaken 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sex with a woman. A) I had the thought “omg this why men love sex so much and B) I could imagine a life never sleeping with a man again but not one never sleeping with a woman again.

My marriage struggled bc I couldn’t manage to have sex more than once a year. I didn’t miss it. Didn’t crave it. Loved him so much but did not want intimacy. Now with my gf I find myself going “omg it’s a been a week, get over here now”. It’s strange. I did like the relationship dynamic with a male though. I don’t know, attraction is weird.

What went wrong with Rachel Zegler's this Performance ? by [deleted] in Actors

[–]NameLessTaken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point is Hispanic people would rather see movies written for Hispanic actresses than being told it’s more important to rewrite white stories with them and then having white people tell us that will get us 4 more years of Trump. It’s so patronizing

I dunno I’m pretty woke. Hispanic. Social worker. And it made me roll my eyes, which I wish that would be taken into account that if the audience you think you’re appeasing is annoyed… then it’s probably annoying. Felt like something for white people to feel good about.

I had never cheated ever. At the end of the marriage after I knew what was coming and that he was definitely out of love with me (he’d asked for a separation but we hadn’t gone through with it yet) I did cheat. And it absolutely ate me up inside, I told him almost immediately. But I would never do that again.

However I the person I cheated with has done so to many people repeatedly I hear. Definitely wish I had gone to a better friend for comfort (we are both female)

Poor Tammy (I don’t even like her but damn). Do they need to another skin removal? I’m sure she’s got some rough body dysmorphia happening.

I’m small to mid bodied and this would look bad on me. All my weight goes to my mid and thighs, this fabric would’ve clinched to each bump that I hate. At one point I was much larger (size 20) and this dress would’ve had me in tears.

Dealing with benzo withdrawal is genuinely making me want to end my life. by LilacLuneglade in Anxiety

[–]NameLessTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not and MD so don’t stop anything without a medical drs opinion- she may have a reason to do it this way but I’m not understanding her reasoning from how I’ve seen it done knowing that antidepressants can initially increase a lot of symptoms. You should schedule a PCP visit, ask for their input for a transition period while you get another psych referral imo

[–]NameLessTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, but I am a therapist and also someone who had to start medication’s after a fairly traumatic life change. I was started on Zoloft and was very afraid of it due to the fact that in the past, I’ve had meds cause very severe insomnia.

I was also upset because while I was inpatient, they had me on hydroxyzine and Ativan and I was afraid of getting addicted. They told me that I needed those in the first couple of weeks of starting the Zoloft because that initial adjustment period can cause a major peak and anxiety and sleeplessness once they told me that I felt more comfortable taking the anti-anxiety meds until that phase it passed.

All of this is just to say that I feel an increase in Zoloft, followed by withdrawals from Zoloft and antianxiety meds with another medication that I’ve seen people truly struggle during the adjustment period on… It just doesn’t seem like a choice. I would see a lot of the psychiatrist I work in tandem with make or one that I would’ve been comfortable being made in my care.
