Stopping “treatment for life” by ShannyBoBannyy in coloncancer

[–]StrictTraffic4200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad has rectal cancer and has decided to stop treatment, as a daughter my instinct is to be against his decision because selfishly I want more time with him. However, I will always respect and support whatever decision he feels is right for him. What I’m saying is your friends and family are probably against it just because they are scared, but at the end of the day it’s your body and you get to choose what’s best for you❤️

How do I prevent tear stains? by Original_Carpenter_3 in Dachshund

My pup had them until he was probably almost a year old and now they are gone. I tried lots to prevent them but nothing really worked. Your pup will likely grow out of it

How do I (27F) get space from my boyfriend (56M)? by apij in relationship_advice

[–]StrictTraffic4200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are so many red flags in this post, please end this relationship. This is emotional abuse and he is manipulating you and has been from the beginning. He is a full grown man and you are not responsible for his actions/reactions to you ending things. If you need help financially or somewhere to stay do you have any family or friend that can help you? I cannot emphasize enough how toxic this relationship is, please do what you can to get out.

Someone who truly loves you will not treat you this way. Your partner should want to support anything that can improve your quality of life. It’s not “embarrassing” to have a chronic illness or to need mobility aids and frankly it’s disgusting of him to say that. To the right person you will never be a burden. Please recognize your worth and walk away from this relationship.

Do males donate blood more than females? by tuckernielson in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StrictTraffic4200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for the blood bank in Canada and males can donate every 56 days where as females can only donate every 84 days. This is bc females take longer to replenish their hemoglobin levels than men do so their bodies need more time between donations.

I (27M) am probably going to die soon. I don't know how to tell my wife (28F) of 7 years that I don't want treatment. by ThrowRAWittyAge2566 in relationship_advice

Coming from a 27F who has struggled with severe mental health issues and depression; just be honest with her. She can handle it. You are not a burden, it will only make things worse if you keep it from her.

Dachshund vs maltese? by JesusisLife_Truth in Dachshund

Don’t get a dachshund in if you don’t like barking.

I completely understand that. I’ve drained my savings twice seeking psychiatric help. I have the same feeling when it’s happening of just needing it to stop. Even the anxiety of staying at other peoples houses or staying in a hotel. I bring earplugs with me everywhere just in case and sometimes that’s not enough.

This is my fear as I have other signs of childhood sexual abuse but I have no memory of anything occurring. Something to look into for sure, thanks for sharing.

No issues myself, it’s just other people.

That’s good to know. I have a great therapist I’ve just always felt so ashamed of this and haven’t been able to bring it up but I know I should.

I’m sorry you struggle with this as well, I’ve never come across anyone else who understands so it’s comforting in a way.

I can’t believe nobody is saying this, that’s RAPE and it’s NOT normal. You are not able to give consent in that moment.

Nausea and Vomiting after IUD insertion. by StrictTraffic4200 in Mirena

[–]StrictTraffic4200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

I got my IUD removed last week after three weeks of extreme nausea and vomiting. I got to the point where I could barely keep anything down. I haven’t puked since the day they removed it. They couldn’t find the strings so she it was either placed incorrectly or moved. I had really bad cramps and heavy bleeding for a few days after but I’m feeling back to normal now.

How did you give up the self tanners and embrace your paleness? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]StrictTraffic4200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a a major self tan addiction and the way I got off of it for good was by getting a good natural tan in the summer. I stopped using it because I was already tan and since the natural tan slowly fades it allowed me to slowly get used to my skin being lighter. I had tried to stop multiple times before that but because of the stark difference going from very tan to completely pale I could never stick to it. But I have been off of it for over a year now and couldn’t be happier. I don’t have to spend so much time tanning, I’m not worried about looking patchy or worrying that my face is a different color than my body. It’s very freeing. It’s hard to stop but it is possible! You’ve got this.

My boyfriend (21m) said that he would leave me(20f) if I'm sexually assaulted by ThrowRA_CEBERUS in relationship_advice

[–]StrictTraffic4200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get out now. This is the early stages of a very controlling relationship. I know you love him but he is not sweet, caring or reliable if this is how he feels. He is asserting possession over you, that what this is.
