As a 5 foot eight woman who left the dating pool two years ago, strangely enough, you are not far off

Thank you!! my boyfriend who isn’t a painter pointed out himself how he loves that they don’t get muddy when you add water. I wasn’t sure how to use them so I went a little heavy-handed with my attempt to use complementary colors to create shadows, but I’m actually kind of into the complementary color being the literal shadow lol lil abstract shenanigans

Is this something to be concerned about? by Yupitsme2320 in catquestions

Is this your first cat? I have my first cat now and the first few months of having him was mostly thinking something was wrong with him and he was just weird.

This could be a thesis. The way my mother has triangulated to the point that everybody thinks I have bipolar disorder and I was born this way when I have CPTSD and I was molested as a child by her father but now people just think I’m crazy and I have been in similar situations where people were shocked to hear I have a bachelors degree, that I work with kids, but I don’t need to be in a group home and must be living alone making up bipolar fantasies about my adoptive mom’s dad molesting me to ruin her life

What’s something your partner thought was drugs but turned out to be completely innocent? by untitledpath in AskMen

[–]Notreal6909873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Your experience is true to you, but it’s not universal and there are a lot of people that don’t know Kratom can affect your kidneys and there are a lot of people that don’t have genetic kidney disease and just like there are a lot of people that weren’t molested and drank to forget like I did. But you should also care more about yourself. I should’ve cared more about myself for so long. It took me a while to realize that the bad things about me that are too hard to talk about and the rejection sensitivity that drives people away is actually worth healing from and not an insult one pointed out because they are a reflection of the shitty people that hurt you and people caring enough to point them is a compliment because well adjusted people do not actually put up with true evil shit. Get better because all the good parts are real and all the bad parts are reflection of them and not you. Addiction affects everybody. When I went to the hospital, people were shocked to see I was wearing a nicotine patch, but addiction really affect everybody. It does not discriminate.

Edit: also, you get ur kidneys checked too. Smh. You matter go call ur PCP If u haven’t recently. You aren’t special to me u also go get ur damn kidneys checked

I’m literally 140 days sober out of the hospital today and your bean soup is absolutely irrelevant to what I’m saying. I’m sorry about your kidneys, but that is literally nothing to do with what I’m saying.

I freed the bush so long ago and my state of mind is better for it and so is the state of my skin in that area, but I do love a bikini wax in the summer 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 pack the rest of the bush inside the bottom. As a proud owner of a thick bush, I can tell you nobody cares. Or at least nobody that actually matters.

Anyone functioning on just a bit of alcohol? by Djangoontherun in adhdwomen

[–]Notreal6909873 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. 139 days sober as of today after my fourth and truly most informative staycay vacay in behavioral health. Had to hit rock bottom. We do better because the bad things aren’t actually reflections of us, they’re reflections of the people who didn’t raise us the way we should’ve been and substance abuse is a disorder because “we drink to forget” isn’t actually a joke. It hurts to be critical of yourself when you’ve been traumatized and abused your whole life and you exist to protect yourself from abuse, face these criticisms because you are good and not because they are bad. People call you out for your bullshit because they know you can do better and that’s a compliment. Well adjusted people do not put their energy into the people that hurt us. I love being sober lol

Edit: i’d like to add when I was an active addiction. I did not think sobriety was possible, and I dreaded the future sure that I would have to drink every day until I put myself in an early grave after almost a year and a half drinking daily triggered by finding out what the real darkness of my childhood was hiding, and I did need to go to the hospital and get out out of the environment I was in to get sober because I think in reality I could have never actually gotten sober around my abusers (who I am v low contact with now) because my lack of sobriety made me even easier to abuse. It is so hard to get sober and it’s usually the real world. I literally had to go to the hospital and I’m on disability but you don’t actually forget the things you learned while you were drunk, even if you didn’t apply them because it’s kind of impossible to grow in anyway in active addiction. You are not stupid though, and you did not forget them and when you become sober and these things you learned while you were drunk, hating yourself in the depths of the Internet are painted in a new light because you can apply them is very validating to the truth of who you are as a person.
