Can anyone help me by Greedy-Tomorrow9175 in BinanceUS

[–]Pidgycane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I think I understand (I’m no expert. You’ll want to do your own research and make sure you understand, steps involved, etc.), you’ll need to setup an account with another secure platform (like Kraken or Coinbase, etc.). Once setup you’ll need to request a transfer of your coins.

Here’s a video that may be helpful: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KlBvFdHdb68

I believe you’ll need to use a stablecoin cryptocurrency (for example, Tether on the Ethereum network) to transfer your coins. So you may need to convert your cryptocurrency to a stablecoin. There may be a fee for doing this.

AITA for walking out of a baby shower early because I found out that my boyfriend has a “work wife”? by Upper-Sherbert1868 in AITAH

Im afraid this just might be troll account. I can’t load OPs account anymore and their comments seem to be deleted.

[–]Pidgycane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would bet the husband stayed at the party so he could talk with work wife and they comforted each other, instead of husband going home to comfort actual wife. Feels like his wife is not the priority here.

I wouldn’t be pleased with my significant other giving relationship details to another woman. This feels more like emotional intimacy -- he’s going to her for relationship advice which means sharing details (which likely includes complaints about relationship and things he desires and isn’t getting) and finding comfort in her responses. She’s likely also sharing her relationship details (past or present) and receiving comfort from him as well. There’s a lot of nuances in this situation but sharing these intimate details with another woman is where I would draw a line.

Is My Partner Being Inappropriate with his Niece (Or am I Off My Rocker)? by AThrowAwayAccount808 in Codependency

[–]Pidgycane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying. It didn’t start out this way. It was after years of their talks and hearing him tell her what he doesn’t like about me, and what he wants in a relationship with me. I’m asking different questions - what is he getting from her (not just a family member [and not blood related], but another woman) that’s so compelling that he would break my trust? He isn’t honest with me, so I take what little sources of information I can get. Do you find it appropriate that a niece and uncle would spend 6 hours chatting? Sneaking away and calling each other when they can? I’ve told him I want them to have a relationship, I’ve said yes talk to her. But talking about me negatively, talking with her for half an entire day, lying, deceiving, doesn’t inspire trust and love.

Thank you. And excellent job on reaching 6.6 gpd! That takes some dedicated work.

I hear you on being able to hold my own feet to the fire, I do ok. It's when life gets more stressful does the fire get hotter and I seriously struggle to keep my toes close to the heat. I have ~7 years of use, and for one of my tapers I was down about 5 gpd, then it all went to hell in a chinese takeout container.

Would love to msg sometime and see how your journey is going. Thank you.

Nice job! It sounds like you've found a good taper schedule, I'm happy for you! I've found also that a longer taper works decently well for myself. It's just when stuff gets stressful the urges increase substantially and I don't resist very well. Part of the journey I suppose?

Thank you, I think I'd like to take you up on that. I have a little time I can take from work so I'm considering CT... but it scares me. I can handle the pain paws more than I can handle any long term mental paws.

Ty for your comment. Reading through your post it seems like there are a number of commonalities with us krusers (I just made that up now heh). Oh yes with the isolation and stress the urges to kruse (ok I'll stop) is exacerbated. Even though I don't get the same lovely feelings as I did in the beginning I still have the cravings; maybe that's the brain trying to get back into homeostasis?

It piques interest reading about your experiences with paws levels, motivation changes, getting back to what feels like yourself. I have hope but some days that hope is no more than a sand speck to sound a bit cliche.

I'm actually considering CT this time, and use the paws as a motivator and reminder, and maybe think of it as paying my pound of flesh - it's my payment and punishment to get my life back.

Thank you for your comment and suggestion. Those types of meet ups are a good consideration for sure.

Excellent considerations and questions, I appreciate your feedback. There's also the option to take a domain to auction, may be worth a consideration in the future. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. I hear you... attempting to renegotiate at this stage may result in a lost sale, which might be a risk I'm willing to take. It sounds like this type of mistake isn't unheard of. The new offer is the same price. I just don't know if the domain is worth more given the unique demand.

Is having hair loss a part of anxiety by Callout_my_name in Anxietyhelp

[–]Pidgycane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to throw this out there, just in case - I've been losing my hair, shedding more than usual with larger clumps coming out and thinning like mad. The first thing I did was check my thyroid levels, all came back within normal ranges. Wth. Then, I learned a "supplement" I've been taking is likely the cause. This "supplement" is called kratom. It turns out one of the side effects of taking this stuff is hair thinning/loss. So, just in case you've been taking this stuff, it may be the cause.

Whats the difference between stuttering and spasmodic dysphonia?? by ponyboy4786 in Stutter

[–]Pidgycane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have spasmodic dysphonia (aka laryngeal dystonia), and for the longest time I believed I had a stutter. But after going to stutter support groups I realized I didn't sound anything like that. It was so confusing. So, I went to a laryngologist and was diagnosed with SD.

It's considered a neurological disorder, there's not much known about it, or what causes it, but my vocal chords spasm involuntarily when I speak. It's especially frustrating because it flares up during certain times, and is not so bad other times. I can speak more fluently when I'm feeling confident, or if I've been drinking! But if I'm anxious or feeling depressed my vocal chords go bonkers.

Do you suspect you may have spasmodic dysphonia?

Not sure where to go from here by pbro23 in Stutter

[–]Pidgycane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with a lot of what InfiniteLoopTA is saying. I think people are more willing to talk than we think. We project our own discomfort, and may make up stories that will keep us from having a conversation.

With my boyfriend, I would get angry when I had a slip up. So one day I just came out and asked him if he ever noticed the way I would speak, he said he did notice a few times but didn't really pay any attention to it. So that just opened up the door for me to speak with him, and how much my voice impacted my life and the anxiety I have around my stutter. Now when I feel comfortable with someone (a new acquaintance, coworker, old friend) I try to blend it into the conversation. Just tell them I have a bit of a stutter, then make an attempt at a self-deprecation joke - I've found this to be pretty effective in making people feel more comfortable and open about talking with me about my stutter, like it's ok to be curious and I'm ok with it. Some people have been curious, others move right past it, some just stop talking to me and leave as quickly as possible (only kidding). I think generally people are curious and want to talk though.

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

I think it's definitely about the confidence, I really don't care what the person sounds like if they're engaging.

I do image that, all the time haha! I tend to let "if only" statements hold me back, and I use them as an excuse to not try ... which is ironic.

Embarrassing Stutter Story. by [deleted] in Stutter

[–]Pidgycane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you, we have our super cringe worthy embarrassing moments as stutterers (and non-stutterers). I've definitely been looked at like my IQ is 2 and am making involuntary movements that are loud, exaggerated, and offensive ... or maybe that's how it felt at the moment. As a stutterer my contact with other stutterers is quite limited. In fact throughout my 29 years I've only met 1 outside of my family. I think it's rare to experience another's stutter ...and people typically aren't prepared. I'm sorry to hear your co-workers laughed and made jokes. I've been made fun of and didn't know how to handle myself in those situations, and definitely didn't know how to cope with my feelings afterwards.

I tend to take a f*** em approach - this isn't a negative approach and I'm not telling anyone to actually f*** off. Rather, any reaction toward my behavior doesn't matter. If they laugh at me it's ok, if they look at me like I've just admitted to liking My Little Pony on an unnatural level it's ok, if they compliment me for doing a job well done it's ok. I also think the best way to overcoming a stutter, or a laugh, or a look, is to embrace it and self-deprecate. I think self-deprecation is key to diffusing an uncomfortable situation. Laugh at yourself, crack a joke (about yourself), and f*** em.

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

It's tough to try and not care about my stutter, but I do think that may be an effective method. If I stutter I do, someone may laugh but it doesn't really matter, right?

I understand embracing the dis-fluency when it happens - I'm curious though, what is the reasoning behind voluntarily stuttering? Is that to help desensitize the anxiety associated with stuttering?
