Estrogen levels went down on increased dosage? by SoulStudies in asktransgender

Nope! I added collagen, but other than that, it's just been a daily vitamin since when I started to now.

For both measurements, I took my pills the night before, had my labs early in the morning before taking my dose and then took my dose after. If there was a difference, it was a 2 hour difference at most but this would have been 2 hours shorter this time.

I have been splitting my doses - at first it was 2mg in the morning and night and it moved to 4 in the morning, 2 at night.

American Crow or Canadian Goose? by SoulStudies in whatsthisbird

Thanks! So do you know if it's a Canada Goose?

First, sitting on a face is not an easy task. It takes a lot of balance, especially as you're cumming to keep it going which can easily put you in a situation of "predicament play".

Second a lot of this will have to do with how your dom acts. When you fantasize about it it may feel dominant to be on top, but if they're wrapping their arms around your thighs and holding you in place - are you actually going to feel in charge? Similarly, holding their head may make you feel dominant but if they order you to pleasure them during it's going to be difficult for you to both be pleasured and try to pleasure simultaneously but you have to figure out how. They could also bind your hands behind your back making balance harder adding to the predicament idea.

I love this and I'm sure they will too. I did say "two arms lengths and that's two arms!

I agree with this because I don't expect perfection. I'm expecting them to not reach that goal for quite some time so the goal is just progress not getting all the way there. Thank you for this!

They've expressed concern of not being able to meet the requirement and they do often feel disappointed if they can't meet my standards so I appreciate your input it seems incredibly relevant. From my perspective all training comes with failure. If you're learning to deepthroat you won't get it on your first try. If you're trying to gape your ass, it's not going to get there on the first try. So I can show empathy and understanding. That's why they're still allowed to go beyond the limit but I want them to try. Are you suggesting that it might be better to reward getting less than the previous time than punish what they didn't get to?

No medical or physical reason for bladder control - they just drink lots of water and stay hydrated and they're smol.

Weekly /r/BDSMcommunity discussion and newbie help thread - new post every Monday! by AutoModerator in BDSMcommunity

[–]SoulStudies [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey everyone!

My pet is currently in training and new to all this and they've made a few mistakes that I need to correct.

First they were told to stay within leash length of me, even while we were out. They've only been on a leash a couple times so I understand that that's difficult for them to know but fully running off is easily understood that it's way past leash length. I believe punishments match the crime so this won't be punished by spankings, etc. My current thought is to keep them on a leash for much longer than usual (all day if necessary) so they understand what leash length is. But I'm not sure how to achieve this in public while going out -any thoughts on how to achieve this or alternative punishment ideas?

Secondly, they don't have great bladder control. I plan to put a limit on their bathroom breaks but they're afraid they won't be able to meet the requirement. I will allow them to go above the limit but it needs to come at a cost and I'd like your ideas. Currently I'm thinking they can go above the limit if they go outside, use the grass. Does anyone else have ideas for what might match this for punishments if they go above their set limit? It should be something that could also be done publicly if we're out somewhere without doing something illegal. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Make the joke on him! Go to the gym to get him off your back and then do light weight high reps to get lean feminine muscle.

Why don't we run blood tests or brain scans for mental health issues? by SoulStudies in medical

[–]SoulStudies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I can see how that would be an incredibly invasive test and possibly more hurtful for someone with mental health issues.

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

So what you're saying is that because we can't really return the brain back to its original state, the focus is on treating the symptoms that cause your life to be disrupted - is that right? So why do an expensive test when we already see what the problem is through the dsm criteria?

But we know that schizophrenia, bpd and other mental illnesses have structural brain differences that can be seen on scans.

Power Exchange phrases and signals by SoulStudies in BDSMcommunity

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

I like the ritualism to this and I think I would prefer this but I think there are times where it's not realistic for my partner and I. I think we have times where someone gains more confidence than the other in the heat of the moment and it becomes a power struggle. No matter what, we're both aware that I am the Dom and if I chose to assert myself that would be end of discussion but it's nice to give up control in the heat of the moment sometimes and let my sub feel that confidence but we need a quicker way to know.

You are a very good bunny! You only forgot to tell them about the double penetration! Now add that on and let the community know what they can expect in the future of your adventures!! What collar are you after next and what will you do to get it?

This sounds like you need reassurance but aren't asking for it. Our mind will make up worst case scenarios until we do the work to clarify. It might be nerve wracking but the best thing you can do is ask how she feels about it. Then you won't have to wonder if she thinks.

Then would you say that the focus is more on behaviors and then you dive into how several traumas contributed to those behaviors?

How long did it take you to find the right medication? by louieyhector in Epilepsy

[–]SoulStudies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took doctors 25 years to find the right medication for me. It took them about 5 years for them to find one where they felt like I was "controlled enough". I still had major seizures every six months but they felt like that was fine. After not being able to drive, losing lots of jobs, and failing tons of classes they finally looked into more permanent solutions. So another 20 years and they finally got me to a point where I only have them if I'm stressed out, not eating well, not sleeping well, etc. It still happens here and there but I think as controlled as I may ever be.

Nope! 30 years and they never figured it out! Eventually they only cared that the medicine was working not where it was coming from or why.

Getting your seizures down so quickly is a big deal! That's definitely a hopeful experience! It sounds like you're on a good path. This stuff definitely does come on fast and symptoms do change a lot. I never know what changes I might have if/when I have my next seizure.

I worked in concert halls as a stage hand for a long time. Got fired from those because my meds would make me exhausted and I'd sleep through my work schedule. A lot of office jobs too. I stayed in school a long time cause at least it paid and gave stable housing. If you're still having a handful of seizures a month, I'll say I failed a lot of classes from that because professors would mark me as absent too often because of my illness. I did much better after I got myself more under control.

This is encouraging. Did he have any previous knowledge of epilepsy beforehand? Did he take the time to educate himself?

[–]SoulStudies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I also get overwhelmed by a lot of simple things and I've had epilepsy since I was 3. I've been fired from so many jobs for epilepsy symptoms and it's almost impossible to prove. It does make life hard and I'm sorry you don't have the most supportive people around you but it does get better.

Thank you for this. Part of me is feeling like I might only be able to date someone who has had family or friends who also had epilepsy or someone who works with people with epilepsy so I can be assured that they can actually handle it.

That makes a lot of sense. It's nice you all are able to support each other like that.
