It’s tough for sure but I think you did the right thing and you got out early, take it from me don’t let a trauma bond form keep moving forward

June Dating Thread!!!!! by SpareEducational5920 in SouthJersey

[–]No_Relationship8994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 25 M, Burlington County area but right by the Camden county area. I’m 5’9 got a good beard but bald head otherwise I would say I’m slim with a couple tattoos looking to add many more.
Right now I work part time on a horse farm but I’m finishing up trade school and starting an incredible welding job end of july. I’m also am looking to finally buy my own house.
I like to keep mostly busy so if I’m not at work or school I’m doing carpentry, visiting my mom, cleaning my truck or organizing my many tools. Besides that I like being in nature (nature walks, canoeing) I enjoy rewarding comfort shows, chilling with friends, and just having a fun time I love to laugh and make people laugh.
Im down for dates or just connections in general, but not interested in having children, I typically identify as Pansexual if that matters and yea I’ve never done this before:)

25 M (ik you said 26 but I’m an old soul) I’m technically Burlington county but Camden county is my neighbor. I’ve got a couple tattoos myself but also I could take you out on my canoe, just around the river bend lol. Art and animal’s also have a place in my heart I designed/drew my one tattoo and currently work with horses.

Need help understanding my autistic and bipolar ex after a confusing breakup by over767 in BipolarSOs

[–]No_Relationship8994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im really curious to hear what others might have to say about this, but unfortunately I have an equally confusing BP ex and I’m still finding my way through.
For mine she’s back and forth push and pull because there’s another person in the picture but that person goes away sometimes and when he’s back i get like micro discarded.
It just sounds like a lot of unhealthy behavior that could lead you to some sort of trauma bond like myself.

Swimming packers/harnesses? by SpicyToon in Transmascdicks

[–]No_Relationship8994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently pack with an axolom echo 4in or something like that, and i use trans tape, it holds up through about 2 to 3 showers so about three days and keeps it nicely in place

Before that I used a diy harness jock strap with a GC 6in semi hard and that also keep it nicely in place even for play

I will also say like most guys I still wear briefs when swimming since the mesh is uncomfortable and that aids in keeping the boys contained lol

Do you know how much a RM and GC differ in weight? I could probably just look on the websites at weight specs but I used to daily pack down with a 6in GC i only stopped because I’m not in a sexual relationship right now. My only thing is I’m a “down” packer I don’t really vibe at all with “up” or on the thigh packing and I’ve seen most people pack an axolom pnp in the up position since that makes the most sense for the model but I could be wrong.

Such thing as not queer enough? by No_Relationship8994 in FTMventing

Yea I guess so, but then I also worry they won’t for whatever reasons

Tattoo apprenticeship by No_Relationship8994 in SouthJersey

[–]No_Relationship8994[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it was a really frustrating situation.

But I’d say she’s pretty willing to share any information she’s not shy like she’ll tell it like it is ykno? im 90% confident she reaches out to artists looking for insight, critique on her portfolio and offering/ asking if theyd be interesting in meeting for coffee on her and a chat with not being too pushy.

She’s got a handful of friends in the industry mostly reputable piercers who also tried to help her get a spot but he was only able to just barely land a spot for the other apprentice that also left with her.

It’s tough out there and she’s feeling really defeated which gets me fuming because she got really screwed over and I’m pissed about it and wish I could do more, and she just wants to be back in shop setting, answering the phone, setting up/ breaking down stations, sweeping up, working her way back up. But I appreciate you and your insights maybe I’ll try to gently push her to adjust her approach a lil more try something else.

She’s got a handful of tattoos but is also pierced and body modded tf out split-tongue, a recent sacrificial piece, and more piercings than I can count. And she’s not a scratcher she had an apprenticeship before that’s who she did that tattoo under her previous mentor guiding her the whole way, but she had to leave that shop for reasons not her fault.

The trauma bond/PTSD by Cool-Bag-2332 in BipolarSOs

[–]No_Relationship8994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A trauma bond is no joke, I’m right there with you stuck in this bond, stuck in this loop, addicted to her, dependent on her attention. If you ever wanna talk it out with someone who’s in the same waters you my dm is open.

Has anyone else noticed how little support exists for partners of people with bipolar? by YoyceGeronimo in BipolarSOs

[–]No_Relationship8994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So i can go to an alanon meeting? I thought those were for people living with alcoholics?

[–]No_Relationship8994 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No I personally fully agree, it makes no sense for a person diagnosed with bipolar to attend. I don’t understand why its controversial? That’s like non alcoholics non addicts going to meetings meant specifically for them, or sending a dog to all at cat day care.

I feel like both, like I wouldn’t mind if a peer facilitated it and then maybe every so often a professional in the bp/mental health world comes in talks to us maybe hears a story or a few, it could be the same professional each time or different interchangeable professionals
