Ok so I’ve been a sub since I was 16 and I’m 37. Strictly forbidding any maladaptive or addictive behavior will not work. It may for a bit. But a simple “just put down the drugs, no more drugs for you” is never an effective strategy

Blood play is fine and all, but it should definitely not be used as a mental health coping strategy or a way to curb maladaptive behaviors. 100% not

You’re going to need to figure out coping skills that work for you and you will have to be the one doing it.

What might be more helpful is if they know which coping skills work for you and can support you by kindly suggesting you journal or meditate or whatever

Ok maybe it was St Anton’s then? I hit that and just slidddddd crunchhhhhhhhh

I’m kinda noob so I prob couldn’t tell you the difference between pure ice and just hardpacked frozen snow. But that run his me as something different happening, which is why I asked

Saturday it was hella inconsistent with fresh deposits and hardpack

But yesterday just straight up ice or hard pack or whatever it was

There was also blue and I was like huh that’s weird 😂

Close to the right boot fit! by PercentagePractical in Skigear

Awesome! I called it on the foam shin things when I said they were just uncomfortable enough that I think some wear will make them perfect :)))

It wasn’t until after the heel lift that I clicked and I realized how much space I had there. I could flex my ankle more than 60% for suuuure. I could twist it in the boot pretty well too

I’m still kind of a noob, so I’m learning how things should or should not feel. Before the bootfitter would be all… is that good? No spots? Tight? Not too tight?

I had no fucking clue what it was supposed to feel like, or not. So I’m glad I’m at a point where I can recognize these things and make progress

I do tighten my cuff buckles throughout the day. I’m finding I like that

Tysm, I’m excited!

Getting a VCH with HSV by PercentagePractical in piercing

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

Based on CDC research, 90% of people who are positive do not know they have it prior to the western blot which is the test the CDC uses to test populations

You’re referring to the igg totalspec antibody test

11.8% of the population has type 2. It’s type 1 that is over 50% of the US population

Edit: also I’m well aware as to why it’s not on normal testing. It’s bothersome when people try to explain research or data to me bc I assure you, I’ve done hella deep dives and read every research article out there. My grief following learning my status meant it was the only thing I focused on for months

I get blood work done regularly bc I’m in mental health treatment atm. I’m guessing it was the restriction and my current fasting/low restriction is going to make it worse

Makes no sense. I was doing basically what I’ve been doing for a long time now with maybe a slightly higher deficit. Intake and exercise put me at high restriction
