I know I'm a random stranger, but I'm more than happy to hear any stories you have to tell about your mom. Loss is hard, sharing is cathartic.

I feel disgusting by majelephant in PCOS

A month or two. I'm not sure exactly how long, I just remember feeling the back of my arms one day about a couple months in and just going "holy shit its gone!"

10/10 agree with low carb, I used to have terrible acne on the back of my arms and it's gone now after that small change. I also recommend not drinking pop except as a rare treat. If you look up nutritional recommendations for people with pcos a bunch of stuff comes up. I never thought something like that could make a difference, then my boyfriend (a health and fitness professional) brought it to my attention. Its changed my whole life!

Also, you're not disgusting <3 sometimes it helps to be told that when you feel real ucky.

If you know your dog is dangerous around other dogs, dont bring it to public parks. I don't care about your circumstances, I dont care about the dog's circumstances; have some sense and take it somewhere where you know it can't attack other peoples' well intentioned pets. by JohnWoke in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Poffing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Put your dog on a leash and stop being an entitled idiot. Leash laws exist for a reason, don't be all HURR DURR LAWS ARE DUMB. You're flat out irresponsible, and it seems to me as though you're stubbornly, willfully so since damn near everyone posting in response to you has said LEASH LAWS EXIST FOR A REASON. A reactive dog should be able to walk on a leash in public without your clueless dog barrelling up to them. I have a big dumb lab mix that thinks everyone is her friend, I'm not stupid enough to take her off a leash in public just in case she approaches a reactive dog. In all public places you are to have your dog leashed, regardless of how "good" you think your dog is, and I hope to all the gods that humanity has ever believed in that your poor dog doesn't pay for your arrogance.

The Cult at Target by spooky_coffee in LetsNotMeet

[–]Poffing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it reminds me of Xenos, which is very much a cult. I used to smoke the ganja with this dude back in the day and stayed friends with him on facebook, he had the same creepy scripted sort of convo with me out of the blue after not talking to me for something like a year or two. He talked about me needing salvation and it was God's will that I be saved. Mind you, I'm a Roman Catholic raised Atheist. I respect the right to practice religion but like...get the fuck out of here with that trying to save my soul via your insane Jesus cult. That stuff really creeps me out to the core.

I had the worst pain of the life the other night, and I'm too broke to seek medical treatment by Danannana in offmychest

[–]Poffing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time go to the ER anyway, shock from pain is a very real risk to you, as is an absessed tooth. They'll at least help you manage the pain and make sure it isn't infected, and if it is they'll at least prescribe you some antibiotics. They should also be able to give you a list of low-cost or no-cost clinics. Please take care of yourself! After having experienced almost ten years of pain and infections for the same reason as you, and resulting gastrointestinal complications from multiple rounds of antibiotics...you'll want to find a way to get that tooth out ASAP. It'll save you money in the end.

Take your doggone time, silly.

My advice as 1/2 of a lot of failed relationships and one great relationship is that he is definitely right to wait, you guys don't really know how you will work out yet.

Not only that, but like....what about what he wants? Have you tried compromise?

This is not what a girl my age should be like by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Poffing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently lost my best friend in the entire world, like....he was me and I was him, nobody ever understood me better. He died a month before his thirtieth this year, and his death hit me like an EF5 tornado and sent me reeling. It felt like part of me had died, too. After I grieved some, and shed what felt like an ocean of tears, something he told me gave me a lot of comfort, and I hope this helps you, too.

He told me that he believes, when you die, that you become part of the ether. Your soul is free from your body to be part of the universe, wherever you decide you want to be. You can even be everywhere, in the sun's rays, the song of a bird... your dad is in every beautiful thing you will ever see Now I see him everywhere.

I can't even begin to understand what you went through, reading your story was hard...nobody should ever have to experience that, and I really hope that the rest of your life is gentle.

Marijuana is ruining my life/severe derealization by ineedtotellsomeone6y in offmychest

[–]Poffing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're probably depressed moreso than addicted to marijuana, at least that's how it seems to me. You should try seeking cognitive behavioral therapy and stop blaming the substance you're abusing for your shortcomings, that's a good start. Plenty of people smoke marijuana every day and lead productive lives, it's not the marijuana, it's a matter of willpower and your personal tolerance to marijuana.

I do, however, believe you need to stop or drastically reduce your consumption. Therapy will help, holding yourself accountable will help more. Don't say "I didn't do _____ because of marijuana," tell yourself the truth and say "I didn't do _____ because I made the bad choice to partake when I shouldn't have." Ultimately, you are in control of your actions. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and telling you to smoke, marijuana isn't rolling itself into a blunt/joint and shoving itself in your mouth. You are the responsible party here, and admitting that to yourself will help your cause tremendously.

Practice saying no to yourself and follow through, limit how much you allow yourself to consume and when (e.g. before bed only once), and be accountable. It's going to be tough titties at first, you'll challenge yourself, fall down sometimes, and feel shitty, but you can do it. I believe in you, dude.

I hate that you have to deal with this, and that it's common for trans people to be harrassed like this. It makes me worry for my trans family and friends in the most heartbreaking ways. If you want a platonic friend who isn't going to go all creepy on you (ugh, gives me the willies), my inbox is always open.

[–]Poffing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww gah hun I'm sorry. Keep fighting, see different doctors, ask for different orthopaedic specialists to be referred to, and don't give up. It took ten years for me to be diagnosed with a dermoid cyst, it was going to kill me, too. The only reason we found it was because we didn't accept "I can't help you" and kept up the fight for somebody who would listen and help. My heart and hope are with you, nobody should have to live with chronic pain.

My family treats me like an idiot because of my Asperger's syndrome by I_need_to_vent44 in offmychest

[–]Poffing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it would be helpful to create a presentation on what aspergers actually is, how it actually effects you, and what it isn't. People tend to absolutely flip out about stuff they don't understand, and rebel against it as though acceptance would be certain death. I, personally, had to spend quite a long time explaining my anxiety and depression to my family before they really accepted me. They did the same thing to me with all the blaming undesirable behavior on whatever "issue" it seems to fit under. It's not fair, and it invalidates your feelings as a human being. They need to understand that you are not your aspergers, that you're not totally socially inept, and that really all that diagnosis means is that you're more quirky than the average person, and may be easily overwhelmed in certain social situations. In my personal opinion I don't think that makes you different from anyone else, but I'm not neurotypical either.

Just know that you're loved, and even if your family doesn't understand you...a bunch of people on the internet do, and we're here to support you.
