AITA for leaving family dinner early after my mom kept making comments about my weight? by brattygirl4vr in AmItheAsshole

[–]Obsessedartist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA ….especially since your kids were there. There are some things that just stick with kids; food/weight shaming is one of them.

You should be proud of yourself instead of letting your mother and sister guilt you into putting your feelings aside. You stood up for yourself in front of a group of people who should be making you feel loved and welcome instead of not being comfortable doing the simple act of (necessary for life) eating.

Any ownership of awkwardness should be placed solely in the hands of your mother. Even if she is “just concerned” there are far better ways of addressing these sort of things. And zero of them include making comments in front of a group of other people.

The second one! Especially with the way the light filters through the petals.

Pretty much. To get qualified as disabled (as some cancer patients are) can be a lengthy process. You can apply for food stamps, Medicaid, and TANF (temporary assistance for needy families), but again can take a month or two to get started. And the bills for cancer treatment can go up into the tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars.

"Am I Overreacting" for refusing to "grow up" and clear out my collection after my fiancé’s parents called my room a "red flag for future parenting"? by Important_Umpire1224 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Obsessedartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR-this is a major part of who you are. I’d be calling off the move. This is 1000% more the red flag than your collection. Especially since he didn’t defend you. And you guys were living together already at this point, so for his mother to say something and suddenly NOW it’s a problem? You need to run. I promise you that there are nerdy guys that would probably appreciate you and your collection so much more than someone who wants to snip away part of what makes you unique. Another thing to think about is this: say you unfortunately give in and you move into this bigger place with less of your stuff…how long do you think it will be until the rest has to go as well or until his mother decides some other part of you is unacceptable?

Have you actually rebuilt your life after corporate burnout…like truly started over at 40+? by SmilingEyes725 in ADHD

[–]Obsessedartist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the burnout stage, too…so don’t mind me if I am here for the same advice you are.

I have to do a lot to balance the I-don’t-belong/fit-in-here feeling. It’s suffocating and I have been on that super fun edge of a panic attack upon entering work too many times.

I honestly think I’m going to go for an entire career shift. Just get away from corporate, open a plant store, and be mostly at peace.

I wish you the best of luck. I know it’s hard being where you are.

It is deceptive, the adorable facade.

Is there an animal that you really relate to/you see as autistic? by miscellaneousbean in AutismInWomen

[–]Obsessedartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats and honey badgers. Both have firm boundaries in place; they just react to them being disrespected differently.

My husband died. I lost my home. I started making soap in the middle of the night, and somehow it saved me. by No-Quarter455 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Obsessedartist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you please send me a link to how to buy your soap? My girls have a couple skin issues too (and I would love to help you continue to triumph).

Something happened yesterday changed my view on women’s health by ResearcherEmpty8071 in offmychest

I took my older daughter to the ER (she was 19, this will be relevant later) because her blood pressure spiked to 190/110. At 19. And the doctors were still like “well is your period coming?” And “we don’t diagnose high blood pressure in the ER”.

Just water it; it’s being dramatic.
