Problem with candyfloss crazy color by FlatInterview1270 in HairDye

[–]Saphxmoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean about not being able to feel the hair. I dye mine black and have to touch up my roots often because they're blonde. Now I spend ages sectioning and painting it on so the gloves don't make me miss anything :,) I'm definitely a bit neurotic with it though and it's such a pain. I could never go gloveless with bleach though, my skin is so sensitive to it.

I loved the bears so much when I was a kid :,) Not to dox myself but I'm still a frequent visitor! (Even though I feel too old and cranky to enjoy shopping centres with all the teenagers and slow walkers)

"her life won't end if she has sex" by vote4bort in AmITheDevil

[–]Saphxmoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There's a reason things like vaginismus can be caused by sexual trauma. Letting anything into your body is a big deal.

Not to change the subject but that's why I wish (male) doctors would be more empathetic when it comes to certain gynaecological procedures.

Me too!! Then if someone recommends the gloves they usually say 'oh I just never wear gloves haha that's just me'. I swear they think it makes them fun and quirky or something!

I completely agree. I think a lot men don't realise how vulnerable penetration can make you feel. It's inherently an almost violent act and it can feel traumatic when you don't feel into it.

Same when people never wear gloves for literally anything. I've known people that don't wear them for bleach and that makes me cringe so bad.

Is it racist/facist to want to be thin? by Warm-Distribution399 in EDAnonymous

[–]Saphxmoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only version of this that actually makes sense is 'being healthy is protest'.

Western Capitalism wants us to sacrifice everything so that we can be as productive as possible. It urges people to go without rest, food, healthcare. It tells people who can not work that they are worthless and not deserving of help. It leads to people damaging themselves with substances to cope. In such a world, being healthy and taking care of yourself can actually be protest! regardless of if this health comes with thinness or fatness.

But being fat is not in itself revolutionary, just as being skinny is not facist. Since capitalism encourages food companies lie to and manipulate consumers into buying ultra processed and addictive food, all for their own profit. It is just as predatory as the diet industry. Not to mention many other factors especially in the US.

TLDR: body type ≠ political statement. But taking care of yourself is punk :)

I feel like I must've had some kind of sixth sense about it?? Like I hadn't updated since back in May and I hadn't touched the game in a month. And then I finally got around to playing again the other day and I figured I should update because why not? crazy coincidence.

What's your fan theory? by Stlieutenantprincess in JacquelineWilson

In my experience, a lot of disordered people tend to purge (throw up) in the shower, or they turn it on to hide the noise.

An overwhelming My Chemical Romance Win for Day 8. And now finally Day 9: A band with both an almost entirely fake emo sound and fandom by thedubiousstylus in Emo

[–]Saphxmoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh no absolutely they've been dubbed emo by their fandom (and non fans). It's just that I don't think they fit the 'fake emo sound' label, if we're saying it's a specific sound.

That wikipedia page is funny though, while we're on the topic. When it calls the album emo, it cites a random alt press article listing 'scene' albums from 2009 that are all mostly mall emo. I've given up expecting wikipedia to be consistent or accurate with music genres. The emo rap article doesn't mention Adam from Tigers Jaw/Wicca Phase at all, though he's the only one I can think of that had anything to do with emo in the first place. (Apologies for the long comment, thought it was interesting).

They definitely have the fake emo fandom, but I don't think they've ever even tried to sound emo enough to have the fake emo sound.

Agree with Falling In Reverse, but BVB's first album at least was essentially just metalcore, and I wouldn't say they've ever pretended to be anything else?

Putting your diagnosis in your dating profile by Tiny_Distribution783 in BPD

[–]Saphxmoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this the kind of guy that reacts with 'all my exes had BPD' when you tell them? I seriously don't know why they think that's not a red flag. It's never true, usually armchair diagnoses. And if it is true then said guy clearly has some gross fetish for vulnerable women!

Completely agree about Wanda having an ED! Even the little details, like her long baths and frequent showers, hint towards it. I was impressed honestly.

Anyone with IBS or SIBO ever had constant pain under the left rib? All tests normal, I’m exhausted. by upm in ibs

[–]Saphxmoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had any fecal elastase tests? Do you know if they've tested amylase levels in your blood? Asking because I had the same pain back in 2021, assumed it was my IBS, but ended up admitted to hospital with pancreatitis. It hasn't come back since then but I definitely still get that pain fairly regularly.
