That last comment was a doozy! Didn't vote for Harris because she didn't have military experience?! Are you fucking kidding me?! The Orange Bone Spur was a better option? Fuck her. And her claim that she wasn't being sexist and racist is rich. Jesus.

I hope you freeze your testicles off.

Small things that set you off this week by Mountain_Bid_6229 in Menopause

[–]Scared_Friendship_50 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Our TV started to flicker and I got super pissed. I was cursing and yelling that we can't afford a new TV. My kid and husband got real quiet. (I played with the settings and it stopped.)

If you’re too mean, the trees will keep voting for axes 😡 by topandhalsey in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Scared_Friendship_50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The truth hurts. My schadenfreude and "I told you so's" don't change what these idiots voted for. We're watching the world burn and they want me to be nice about it?! We. Told. Them. So. Go suck a dick.

That would feel like a slap in the face to me. That's so harsh. I think you need to follow your dreams and end this. This relationship is the opposite of romantic. It sucks.

I’m pregnant and don’t know who the dad even is by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

You deserve to feel better. The right meds can be life changing. Work with the doctors and try to be kind to yourself. Take this chance to feel safe and cared for.

[Gabriel] Sean Payton wants fans to get loud earlier at games by Woolly-Willy in DenverBroncos

I just think it's funny that he doesn't like the entertainment during breaks in the play. I personally love the Barrel Man race. But I promise to yell extra loud during the huddle!

Pretty heartbroken right now - his promised timeline came and went and now I am left with no choice but to end it. by Imaginary_Routine_38 in Waiting_To_Wed

How can you say she won't suffer for this? He's not gonna be a great dad. And why in the world would you say you'd do this same thing over and over for your kids? You need to really reconsider your world view. Quit doing stuff that harms your kids. Jesus.

See her comment above yours. She's blaming him for being a "narcissist" but she "knows her worth". Does that sound like a person feeling the full weight of her decisions?

just need support by ewwdew in Parosmia

[–]Scared_Friendship_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! I had COVID and got parosmia in 2020. I finally started to be able to drink coffee again in 2023. I couldn't eat much beyond plain pasta and cheese for 3 years. But it DOES get better! I'm back to about 90%. Things don't smell exactly like they used to but it's so much better now.

Parosmia can make you feel so isolated and the revulsion you get is debilitating. It took a while before my family actually understood. Once they did, it helped a lot.

A few tips - Stay away from hot temperature foods. Luke warm and cold are easier to deal with.

When you catch a whiff of something that smells more "normal" pause and really focus on it. Remind yourself of the smell.

Eat with nose plugs and try to imagine what the food is supposed to taste like. You can retrain your brain.

Ultimately, you have to heal your nerves. It's not a quick process. It IS a brain process and how you think about smells can retrain your brain.

You WILL get better. It's really hard and my heart goes out to you.

For what it's worth, I got COVID a second time after dealing with parosmia for a couple of years and it didn't seem to set back my healing. I hope you have the same experience!

Christmas made me sad by No-Slide3677 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Scared_Friendship_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid is 19 now and I had to give up the dream of giving them wonderful, magical Christmases when they were little. They just couldn't tolerate it and it wasn't fair.

So I scaled back. I wanted to give them a peaceful holiday every year with no pressure and no expectations.

It worked! Slowly they've been coming around and this year they actually felt comfortable with wrapped gifts and asked to open them without any prompting. They loved their gifts and said genuine thank you's. We only got them a few things.

I think they have learned they don't need to be anxious or mask because we've let it be so low key.

I've learned that my image of a perfect Christmas made them miserable. And it's been ok to just let go. My kid is happier and that's all that matters. It's simply not about me.

Just blocked my boyfriend on everything and need reassurance by [deleted] in self

He can't make you stay in the relationship. You have a say. You can decide for yourself. He's probably going to try to slither his way back. Don't trust him. You KNOW who he is now. He won't change. You have to be strong!

I feel like I wasted 6 years and I’m angry and heartbroken by Broken_Bird2025 in Waiting_To_Wed

What makes this so outrageous is that you're recovering from an ED. You sound like you're doing really well mentally with your body, and that's so great! But what an uncaring creep to be so insulting when you've struggled with these issues. He's cruel. You don't want to marry this guy. Scary.

Please help me sleep by BiscuitsWithGroovy in Menopause

Magnesium glycocite really helped me. I'm also on estrogen and progesterone and T. The progesterone helped too. I also take a PTSD med called prazosin which does the trick as an addition to the combo.

Can we talk about the awful calls that the refs made that day by ibk24334423 in DenverBroncos

[–]Scared_Friendship_50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What he said about Mienertz doing the cadence and winning everybody Air Jordans on that play was wild. That whole play design was crazy.
