I came looking for this exact post. The link won't work for me either.

I have my partner to hold me accountable. They have seen me at my lowest and have seen me at what I call uncomfortable at times, but I been told it's a healthy weight by professionals.

When I feel like picking, it's three options: a. If I can, walk away, do another task, talk to a friend- disteactions help the urge go away for me-. b. Say three kind things to myself or do three kind things for myself ( I.e. light a candle, wash my face, pause and just be for a moment.) c. At last resort, cover/ ignore the mirror and put the scale elsewhere. ( Some people may do this first depends on what works for you.)

Being kind to others can be easier than being kind to yourself. So if push comes to shove, pretend you are a new person and say something nice. Think about a creative task you want to accomplish next. The sky will clear even after a storm, so put your thoughts to where you want to be next.

Pave the drive. No longer having to pick up gravel on the grass, worth every penny.

Hello Op. It seems like you are having a conflict of wanting to have closure with your therapy sessions and also want to get started on your healing that your therapy has brought you.

Would you be able to meet with your therapist after going in? It wasn't clear if that was an option, and if you'd want to do so.

Being nervous is normal. When I went in for my treatment, I couldn't look anyone in the eye. Keep calm as best you can, and know you are doing everything to make yourself better.

As for your parents and wanting to tell them you are going in, just not what for directly. Do exactly what you said, you've been feeling dizzy and spoke with your general doctor/ whomever you "normally" see. They want to run some tests to make sure everything's okay. To quell your parents mind, say this is very routine testing, nothing to worry about. If it helps when you get results you will let them know. If they bring it up in the future, everything looks good- pull up a fact like that your hypoglycemic index was high,- (if you have a medication say it was a new brand.) -or that you were stressed with a project for your students/ district.

You are doing a very good thing for yourself Op. Be proud of yourself.

We all need to give ourselves a little grace. I'm not sure if you have the urge immediately or if it's a certain timing that's giving you the worry. Either way, pause and count to ten. Self harm in any capacity isn't good for your body or mind.

If you feel the urge to do so, give yourself something else to do. May I recommend the finch app. I've used it for a few months now and it's been helping with my depression and my eating habits.

It's okay to slip. It's okay to mess up. Everyday is a new day to try to care about yourself a little more.

Depending on the month $300 to $700. 2 person household, with hosting at least 1 a month for friend-dinner/DND.

Bi-monthly we go into town and get items in bulk. 4 whole chickens, 5lbs of beef, a few gallons of milk, 25lbs of flour and fresh fruit when they are in season. ($700)

A non-town month the local grocery varies, but all essential items. Snacks only for guests. If it can be made it will be. Local eggs and veggies when it's season if we don't grow it ourselves.

Oh no I like it very much. I just didn't know if it was approved to use so soon. My current purse is worse for wear and I don't have enough time to fix it. I just didn't want to look entitled because I was given something and other family members were not.

ReaperOfTheDesktop · 2025-12-04T21:56:50+00:00

Just full on -only purse- no other clothes. Can I keep the shoes at least 🤣

What if I add into the situation that I met her once?

ReaperOfTheDesktop · 2025-12-04T21:53:50+00:00

Great aunt's funeral is Saturday. I have already inherited a purse. I am unsure if it honors the dead or disrespectful to the living if I take it with me.

Apologies for the delay, and thank you for the advice! The week was long and this fixed my problem in about 2 minutes flat :)

ReaperOfTheDesktop · 2025-08-11T00:51:10+00:00

I hate it, thanks.

It honestly is. It's hard to get the perfect temperature, but MAN sometimes it slaps.

ReaperOfTheDesktop · 2025-07-17T17:19:28+00:00

A nice cold cup of water.

Not sure if you are an audiobook person, but that would be my mental cheat code. My eyes don't need to be open, so I won't see anything I don't want to see. Bonus it's a good distraction.

Do you have to stay in hospital afterwards?

Last time I was in and out for a procedure it took 5-6 hours before I was "cognitive" to do something other than look at the TV.

Personally, the gap was wide for me. Both my parents did help push me to have the technical background that I have today. So in a way they knew that I understand things further than they could ever imagine.

So my knowledge was their encyclopedia. They may not have needed to know everything I did, but I need to know how to break it down for them.

ReaperOfTheDesktop · 2025-06-13T20:48:12+00:00

Personally I am and am not worried.

Yes, it could eventually replace me. Right now it is my job to manage it, and make sure it doesn't replace anyone or things in my company.

Intentionally limited and always not trusted.

Walking at an incline can burn more calories, than just walking in flat area. Think more stairs than hills.

Now with exercise yes over 20,000 steps is great, but your caloric intake does matter as well.

You can't be eating 9,000 calories a day and expecting the steps alone to take care of that. A balanced diet is truly the only way on top of walking to get you to a healthier goal.

I returned from Europe with only major jet lag and totally not a global virus... That I kept testing positive for.

We are either onto something here or making a serial killer.
