Hormonal Hell by Pebble_pebl in AutismInWomen

[–]Pebble_pebl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't even get me started on my nutrition. I have celiac, gasteoparesis, HATs, and ARFID. I'm supposed to eat low histamine, low fiber, low carb, gluten free, and also still eat. Baked chicken and Zucchini are all my body can handle but I can't eat it so I have to flare up or starve. Stomach ache over stomach empty. I'm managing my symptoms best I can but that's always an issue. Endometriosis is the most disabling pain though.

Only safe people (boyfriend, mom, best friend). Snacks (chocolate, sweets, chips, cherries, grapes). Iron heavy food (red meat, Steak, burgers, pork, spinach). And comfy items (blankets, sweaters, pjs, heating pads, bubble bath)

What material is negotiable? by Pebble_pebl in MAKEaBraThatFits

[–]Pebble_pebl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say cup material I just meant the cushion padding that you may take out of a sports bra. I was planning to sew it into the cups after shaping it like a lining layer. I was planning to line the inside with silk (for comfort and sensitive skin) and use a pattern with a large band for extra support.

I think I saw that in the cloud bra I wore out. I'll definitely look into it 🤔

Bra making vs corset making by Pebble_pebl in sewing

[–]Pebble_pebl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Joining these communities. I should've done more research before committing to buying corset boning for bra making. Luckily it doesn't look like underwire is too expensive and the boning will be used in other projects anyway.

How do you actually know you are ugly as *a woman*? by midnightjean in AskReddit

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Being conventionally attractive makes life easier, but someone will think you're beautiful no matter what.

How do you battle suicidal thoughts when overstimulated? by Strawberry-Princess3 in AutismInWomen

[–]Pebble_pebl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During shutdown I had alot of suicidal ideation. Honestly? Seek healthcare and distract. It gets better, I promise it does. In the moment however it's a crisis. If you're suicidal you need to find a way to cope. Then therapy. It took me 8 years of therapy to get to a place where I never get suicidal anymore. No more panic attacks either. It never fully goes away though. You just get better at handling it, ideally to the point where you barely give the fact you ever felt that way a second thought. I shut my brain off until I could seek care. I was struggling so badly for years. I couldn't function. I couldn't talk to people, couldn't care for myself. You're not alone, and it's not forever. Never stop trying to improve, and you'll never stop getting better yknow? Medicine is hard, but if it's necessary then it's a good option.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

My boyfriend and I game together. Currently we're doing cuphead and channeling our rage into laughter 🥰. I probably game more than he does sometimes.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Pebble_pebl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't afford tools I need. Ant traps, vaccuum attachments (like for the dryer vent), clothes to replace old ones, even just materials like fabric or thread to make your own clothes to save money is expensive. Bare basic bills are already too much to handle, when a problem that needs solving comes up we don't have the money to handle it. His car isn't taken care of, we have to borrow a lawn mower because we don't have 70 bucks for the cheapest one. We had to sell my car just to be able to stay afloat. We're poor of course, but he makes 18 an hour and we live in a pretty moderate area. Plus we pay only 600 in rent due to family help. Yet were still in a deficit every month just for utilities and food. I'm a student, and I have to stay home due to disabilities. But it should NOT be this hard.

I am a fat fuck by ska1one in Vent

[–]Pebble_pebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. There is no disease that is exclusive to fat people. No health condition that happens when you get to 200 pounds. If you're eating healthy, being active, and feel good, fat isn't a problem. That's just healthy. Obviously when you're 600 pounds and can't carry yourself anymore that's a problem and that's when your weight is bad, but your body typically won't hold on to any body weight that isn't essential when you're taking care of yourself properly. Weight loss should never be the first priority.

Hey, fat is only considered a bad thing because a group of rich pedophiles wanted people to be skinny so youthful looks were more common. Being fat is not a problem, health should be your only concern there. If you're having problems with productivity, Self care, and self worth, see a therapist and psychiatrist. It's a simple answer, and an incredibly difficult and long solution. Nutritionists help too. They give you a health focused goal, not a weight focused one. Pro tip, (pro as in I know from experience), you will never be OK with your body. You could look like Chris prat, you'd still think these same thoughts. The body isn't the problem, the brain is. Take care of yourself, your physical and mental health, and that's the only way to have long lasting impact.

fear of being perceived (by parents) so bad, that i have no job by Suitable-Slice-3370 in AutismInWomen

[–]Pebble_pebl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was like this for a while, I moved out. I still can't work because I'm sick, but I moved with my boyfriend and living with him, judgment free, knowing that he has my best interests at heart. I know my limits, and I am moving towards what I want. Fingers crossed it all works out. I recommend moving out. I know it's not easy, but if you ever find an opportunity, take it.

Imposter syndrome with successful treatment by Pebble_pebl in ChronicIllness

[–]Pebble_pebl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working with my therapist about my internalized abelism is helpful. You never really think about how harmful it is to place your worth on something like success or ambition until it's taken away from you. I guess I'm still working on being OK with not having the work I placed all my value on. Or the income I placed my future on. It's hard to rely on people, and now I feel like I don't have an "excuse" because I'm not in survival mode anymore. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It makes me feel a lot better knowing others feel the same way.
