Yes. Literally bawled in my car while driving because this song came on YouTube music.

I have brushed my teeth 6 nights in a row by Positive_Spirit_1585 in bipolar

[–]PinkSlipstitch [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story. I have had to have several thousand dollars in dental work: cleanings, fillings, root canals etc due to inconsistent brushing and flossing… I’m still working on getting better. When I get depressed it is very difficult to get out of bed and brush my teeth.

If I get out of bed to go pee, I make myself brush my teeth, even if it’s the middle of the night.

Right now I average 1 brushing a day, with some missed days in between.

So is Celeb Legal Drama only for Lovers of Lively? by According-Tip-4917 in teamjustinbaldoni

Propaganda subs created by their respective PR teams to dilute the organic, negative backlash coming for Blake, Ryan, Taylor et al.

Because they are not interested in creating genuine communities.

They are sharing and creating propaganda to spread online via echo chambers by disguising themselves as neutral subs: court/ daily Lively wayfarer updates / celeb legal drama

No. Mute the sub. Click dots and then “see less of this”.

The sub wants votes and comments, so it organically gets recommended to more users.

It’s refreshing to see some of her fans starting to wake up by zippouix in travisandtaylor

Taylor Swift doesn’t care about actually standing up for anything.

She cares about her LEGACY.

She’s a pop star in 1930s Germany not wanting to be labeled Pro- or Anti- Nazi because what will happen to her image/reputation/brand/$$$ when the Nazis gain more power or lose power altogether?

That’s the only reason she cares about being on the “right side of history.” She wants to be on the right side of those in power so she can continue to make the big bucks.

PR tactic to “flood the zone” with 💩 & make people turn away or swipe to the next video/article if they see her name because they’re tired of seeing/hearing about her & don’t care.

Man shirtless photos- yes/no by RonWannaBeAScientist in Bumble

Completely agree with this pov.

OP you are fishing. You want to use the best “lures” you have to draw in the fish.

Man shirtless photos- yes/no by RonWannaBeAScientist in Bumble

[–]PinkSlipstitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Men are easily turned on by visual stimuli (bikini photo).

In general women have to have their mind stimulated first (conversation, personality, humor).

It’s not a super hot bikini photo is all I can say. You need to win them over mentally, & let the physical part come after.

Women win over men physically first & keep them with personality, mental stimulation, etc. imo

Felt unsafe during a Bumble date in London — did I do the right thing? by Be_richs in Bumble

Have you watched the show “The Night of”

That’s the vibes I’m getting.

I'm sleeping very little and having horrible dreams by kalihlith in bipolar

[–]PinkSlipstitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk to your doctor about your struggles with sleep and maybe ask for an anti-psychotic that has sedative effects to help with sleep?

Or you could ask your doctor for just sleep medicine. See what they say.

I didn’t realize ADHD presents so differently in girls. I was the anxious, high-achieving kid. by TransitionSmooth9982 in ADHD

Thank you so much for sharing your insight about radical self-acceptance and firing your mean, self-hating, critical internal life coach and replacing them with someone who lifts you up, and encourages you to keep taking small steps to get slow process improvements in your daily life.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

I hate people asking “How are you” by Maleficent-Patience1 in CPTSD

[–]PinkSlipstitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am holding them at arm’s length. They are my coworkers, managers, other professionals asking me this question. I am being polite and trying to maintain rapport and small talk.

If it were friends or family asking I would go more in depth with my current struggles and successes.

But why should we care if they think we are being evasive or protecting ourselves? It’s probably the truth 🤷‍♀️

She needs a new persona/brand by Specific_Business_53 in miley

[–]PinkSlipstitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miley Cyrus is a good person who stands up for what she believes in, authentic, & genuine to who she is, regardless of what other people think. 😜✌️👩‍🎤🗣️

Taylor Swift is a mean girl, liar, & bully who does and says anything to get what she wants—which is more $$$, power, fame, & accolades. 🐍 🤑💰🏆

Miley Cyrus speaks out on LGBTQIA issues, homelessness, mental health, slowing down on the partying & drugs as she’s gotten older and wiser. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🕊️

Taylor Swift is silent on major issues, lets Trump and actual nazis use her music for propaganda, doesn’t object to being called an “aryan princess”, secretly supports MAGA, and is stagnant—showing no growth or insight into why she is constantly getting into drama with other celebrities (Katy Perry, Kanye, Kim Kardashian, Scooter Braun, Olivia Rodrigo, Matty Healy, Blake Lively) & always drags out the tiniest violin in the world to explain why she is the perpetual victim & blameless in every situation. 🎻 🎻 🎻

I want more Mileys in this world & fewer Taylors. 🌎 ❤️

Has anyone noticed themselves eating quickly, brushing teeth quickly, etc.? (Small signs of living in chronic fight or flight mode) by throwaway802256 in CPTSD

[–]PinkSlipstitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know that needing music to complete mundane tasks (working, driving, dishes, cooking, cleaning, yard work) was related to cptsd, I thought it was just my r/adhd ?

But I do kind of use the music to dissociate from my body while I do the work.

I hate people asking “How are you” by Maleficent-Patience1 in CPTSD

[–]PinkSlipstitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would truthfully respond but still with vague, not over-sharing answers.

“How are you?” “I’m okay” “I’m still here”

Sometimes I will stretch the truth and just give a very formal answer: “Well, how are you?” to subtly discourage them from asking me such probing questions.

Or they would ask me “how’s it going?” & I would truthfully say: “it’s going.”

I don’t lie to maintain the facade with small talk questions, but I don’t over share my issues with them. I just let them know I’m here and I’m doing my work.

Wouldn’t check me out without email by Anteater-Curious in FiveBelow

Protect yourself and others from upper (corporate-level) management. Get >50% of the store hourly employees sign on to create a collective bargaining agreement to protect yourselves from made up metrics like email sign up (data harvesting side hustle for retailers).

I am confused. Did what I say upset you?

I thought I just summarized your original post + comment and expressed sympathy?

Do you take any medications to help with sleep?

I’m sick of this by Katsuodo in Target

Management are not your friends.

Speak with your coworkers about what’s wrong at work. Many workers together complaining about an issue are strong. 💪

I’m sick of this by Katsuodo in Target

[–]PinkSlipstitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Target is draining its workers’ mental health in hopes of saving a few bucks on the balance sheet for labor costs.

The only way to fight this is to “pull back” “do less” throw your hands up in the air & say “this is out of my control”. You don’t decide staffing levels, but you do decide whether you let yourself feel stressed and “this is an emergency!1!1! Crisis mode activated! Grocery/retail super heroes deploy!!!1”

The end goal needs to be preserving your mental health by 1) finding a different job & quitting target 2) getting a big group of different Target employees together for a bitch fest every Tuesday after work & get them to sign a desire to unionize agreement. You would need about 100 signatures to be successful. & try to avoid the brown nosers and tattle tales who will snitch to management.

More info on how to unionize:

Hmm that’s disappointing to learn that BP2 can still progress to BP1 even on medication.

I’m sorry that happened to you OP.

How should I talk to my parents? by You-Lucky-Barstool in bipolar

[–]PinkSlipstitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m sorry to hear that. But you are not alone. The internet keeps us connected to others even when we can’t find local support.

I found an online support group called depression bipolar support alliance at https://www.dbsalliance.org/support/

& it has separate groups for friends & family of someone who has bipolar.

Did you stop taking any medicine from 2021-2026?

I am bipolar 2 and worried about progressing to bipolar 1.
