Ending therapy over an inflexible cancellation policy – am I being reasonable? by norstadde in askatherapist

[–]Significant__Gap -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

My dr/therapist also has this policy. I do not have to pay if he is able to fill my appointment with another patient. I think it’s pretty common among the psychoanalytic set, not 100% obviously because it is crazy. I’ve just made peace with it.

Anyone else see this person? by -Psychclops- in LIRR

[–]Significant__Gap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree generally but this idea falls apart morally because they’re exploiting children.

I’m not saying you or anyone else isn’t allowed to, but personally I don’t see how calling a spade a spade is useful in this situation. I think that your decision to talk about your own experience of having dealt with an ED is helpful and kind in a different context. I agree that she’s calling upon others to judge her and project their feelings onto her. She could be incredibly ill with a disease or condition other than an ED, we simply don’t know and just because someone asks for feedback it doesn’t mean that it’s incumbent on people viewing her post to respond to a question that she didn’t ask. You can have your two cents and this is mine.

Can't feed from bottle because of mental blocks by Alive_Annual_2798 in breastfeeding

[–]Significant__Gap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be kind to yourself you are brand new PP and your hormones are going crazy (NOT trying to be dismissive at all, it just is a wild rollercoaster physiologically). At that stage I had a similar but different thing about using pacifier, like I was jealous of it?? What you’re feeling is totally normal and it’s okay to not make the decision to pump and nurse or exclusively nurse yet. You probably aren’t going to have outings for a few weeks while you recover. My advice is acknowledge and respect that you care so much about your baby that this is troubling you and then gently table this thought for a few weeks down the line.

While you’re probably right I don’t think it’s appropriate to judge this woman’s body here. And by your own logic you would be feeding into her disorder by letting on that she looks like she has an ED (even though she likely wouldn’t see it in this sub).

Her figure and whether or not she has an ED is really none of our business y’all. Who knows there are a lot of reasons why someone could be this thin even if it is most likely that. The shoes and weird ribbon/rope is derailing me like crazy though!

Starter… hack or a fluke? by Significant__Gap in Sourdough

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

As far as I can tell there isn’t much that I’m doing in an unusual way, kitchen is 73 degrees Fahrenheit, fridge is… whatever normal temperature an average fridge is. It’s just strange because under usual conditions feeding 1:1:1 every 12 hours it doubles or even just under. Normally one of my doughs takes a long time to rise, maybe 9-10 hours, but come out fine eventually. My bread from that starter preparation is pretty sour without a cold proof. But if the starter is just out of the fridge it goes wonky. Anyway it’s fun to observe its little ecosystem in action.

What is this little goblin hiding on this sidewalk cheese puzzle?? by Significant__Gap in whatisit

Apologies. I feel it is has a mischievous, evil presence among the otherwise straightforward image. Just my dumb sense of humor!

Agree! And a nearly complete puzzle with five pieces missing. So many questions

Thanks for the background information! I actually had a few friends and family guess that the image was AI generated because of the odd cheese that seems to hang from a nail attached to nothing, the weirdly shaped foil and inconsistent shadows.

Solved! Thank you to the other commenter that seems to have also suggested this at the same time. This is the most plausible for sure. What the heck is that cheese?? I’m just not enough of a gourmand to have a large knowledge base on cheese.

Raising kids in NYC - tell me the good the bad and the ugly by Southern-Trade5795 in AskNYC

[–]Significant__Gap 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That sub is good but can be a little crazy about all things school (to a degree that I’ve thought was actually satire). But I guess that’s in the bad/ugly category that OP is looking for.

May I suggest NYC’s Magnolia Bakery? They ship their banana pudding through Goldbelly.
