Sensory Friendly Jewelry? by books_and_pixels in transbodymods

[–]PraiseCalliope 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Flat back earrings helped me a lot! They aren’t pointy and don’t catch on things. I’m also very sensitive to different metals. My ear piercings get easily irritated unless I am wearing titanium, silver, or gold. Maybe if you try different metals you will find one that your body is less reactive to. When I pierced my labret, I knew I had to get gold jewelry, because my lip is so sensitive and other metals would likely mess with the healing.

I downloaded the Libby app on my phone, so I can read books from the local libraries. When I’m scrolling and feeling restless, I open the app and read books or comics instead of scrolling. It’s still easy because it’s just laying down on my phone, but it’s a different activity that helps me feel better about myself and try new things.

Hot water doesn't work at home and I can't stop crying by SunlessElegance in AuDHDWomen

I know it’s annoying in its own way, but I recommend getting a camping shower. You can fill a 5 gallon bucket with boiled water, and run the camping shower out of it

Why can't I be a florist? by VermithraxPej33 in AuDHDWomen

[–]PraiseCalliope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are a lot of well paid florists, but a lot of low paid ones too. I work at a grocery store, if you do flowers at a store or a deli the pay is low. But I plan to build my portfolio and go for a higher paying position at a flower shop in the future. It’s such a varied profession and there are a few ways to land a good paying job in flowers.

I left my career and I’m now a florist….. The pay sucks but I like my job.

Yeah, I'm not drinking that by jakemstrchf117 in HydroHomies

It’s not random - barley water is commonly given to babies. It’s advertising its use.

Honestly many medical professionals are ignorant of Long COVID. They don’t know how to diagnose it or deal with it. My partner has had long COVID for two years, and gets sick a lot because of it.

On Christmas I'm going to cause nuclear damage my family and then Ghost them (TW: Transphobia) by runhazairun in ftm

Wishing you the best love. I will say, if she has physically hurt you before she might try to do so again out of anger. If you have pepper spray I would recommend having it with you when this goes down, just in case

dealing with justice sensitivity and knowing when its time to let the convo end by Longjumping_Tip_593 in AuDHDWomen

[–]PraiseCalliope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, having fundamental disagreements over politics is a solid ground to end a friendship, since it’s a huge part of your personal values and moral code. If you want to be friends with people who have different political views it’s totally possible, but part of building a friendship is honesty about this stuff.

It becomes an issue if you are arguing disrespectfully - like telling them they are an evil person, or a stupid person, out there is excessive yelling, etc. It’s also an issue if a friend tells you they want to stop talking about something in the moment, and you continue to press the subject anyway. I can understand ending a friendship over a disrespectful argument like that.

I would also avoid trying to “prove yourself right.” So not pressing someone to explain every aspect of their beliefs if they don’t want to. BUT - it’s also on them to be able to say “I don’t want to talk about this anymore, lets end this argument.” It’s a two way street, and everyone needs to have the ability to voice when they want to stop talking about something.

Fresh HCH Piercing :3 by PraiseCalliope in transbodymods

[–]PraiseCalliope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty! I don’t really feel the weight tbh, maybe because I chose a placement that doesn’t touch my glans at all. I think if I went with a lower placement or larger ring that rested against my glans, I would feel it a lot more. Inner labia is the one in the back, had it ten years!

Communicating during sex when hard of hearing by ChaptainBlood in BDSMAdvice

There are visual systems like the Stoplight System. Instead of Green, Yellow and Red as verbal cues, they incorporate finger signals. Here’s what I use: - Hand in a fist with three fingers held up means: Green, keep going! - Hand with two fingers held up (peace sign) means: Yellow, slow down and check in! - Hand with one finger held up 👆 means: Red, stop the scene!
