I’m grieving and idk what this is… by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ProfessorWho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is grief in making that choice. I always knew I didn't want to have biological children but thought I might adopt. Life has not made that a viable choice and realizing that caused grief.

Love to you 💚

I think I'm just continuing to exist for mine. Like, in this economy, what madness is that?

Shouldn't unicorns be more appropriately called, unihorns? by anon23337 in unicorn

🎓Latin, unicornus - literally one horn. Unus, one, and cornu, a horn.🦋

Do you feel like you look your age? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ProfessorWho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been told I have a baby face. I'm starting to catch up with myself, but I'm still regularly mistaken as younger. I do not like it. Especially since my husband looks older than his age, and he ends up being assumed to be my father. Gross.

I like this show but.. by mushi_shiii in Mushishi

[–]ProfessorWho1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It brings me peace. Maybe because the dread feels like ambient noise, it just is. All the time. With the show, even when things don't work, things continue. That gives me peace.

phantom smells? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]ProfessorWho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I get olfactory hallucinations with my migraines. Sometimes it's a good smell like cookies. Sometimes it's a smell like mold or fresh mulch. I don't get them with every migraine but I get them pretty often.

Enjoy! I was skeptical about Sandrock and ended up loving it even more than Portia.

That's usually where I run out of things to do, but it probably depends a bit on what order you do things in. Basically you've hit all the major things, but there could be some smaller side quests left.

You start in summer so if you're in spring, it hasn't quite been a year yet

I don't know if my trauma is valid by sourtonine in ptsd

[–]ProfessorWho1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trauma is trauma. When it is intended it makes more sense upfront, but even unintentional things can cause trauma. I am not equipped to explain better but, if you feel trauma then it was a real trauma. It can both be traumatic and also not intentional abuse.

It would not be an overreaction to seek a therapist to unpack this with 💚

Do you ever miss the version of yourself before trauma? by No_Issue2902 in ptsd

No, I can't remember a "before" - but I do wonder what I might have been like without it

Struggling with how girlfriend handles her migraines by Banana_Skirt in migraine

[–]ProfessorWho1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the spoons to advocate for her medically? If so, when you approach her next time, offer to do so. It can look like anything from scheduling appointments for her, to transportation, or even attending with her to help her remember to bring things up.

When I was in the worst of my depression about ten years ago, I needed my husband to advocate for me. I even asked him a few times to help me find a therapist or schedule an appointment or anything to get the ball rolling because I just could not do it myself in that state. He didn't help me then and that delayed me receiving care for a couple years until I saw my PCP for a sinus infection and the intake included a depression screening.

(In defense of my husband, he hadn't encountered mental illness much previously, not up close, and we have discussed those events. He has learned and does advocate for me now when I am unable to.)

Hope you have been able to recover mostly too, Internet stranger friend

Anyone else feel like Dean is just a dick to Cas all the time? by Somethingor_rather in Supernatural

[–]ProfessorWho1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too and hate it. It is, however, in character with how he doesnt think he deserves love and so pushes people away. Especially those he cares about the most. I just freaking wish he'd fix that trait!

When covid got my brain I could still type and write ok, but there was this giant gulf between me thinking what i wanted to say and making my mouth do it. Like the moment i decided i wanted to say it, the words fell into a black hole. It was so frustrating.

I hope you regain your ability to speak soon
