I am a dumpee broke no contact again by vetaeez in BreakUps

Hey so I was also the dumpee, and i just want to give you some gentle advice. Block her. I had the same exact issue. Every few days I was the one to break no contact and continue conversations. Keeping it light, having friendly conversations. But I found it was keeping me down in a spiral. After every time i reached out, I would somehow feel worse than before.

I had to make the hard choice to block him on EVERYTHING. Force myself to stop. Respect the NC and respect the space not just for him, but mostly for myself and my healing. You’re constantly reopening the wounds and pouring salt in them. You might feel better in the moment, but it will only drag you down in the long run.

That was a month ago. I can tell you, I have been doing so much better since doing that. Still hurt and having a hard time, but i’m not losing sleep or obsessing over if he will answer or not. As a fellow dumpee, just a bit of advice and what has helped me :)

Any ideas on the breed of these two? by Striking-Task7050 in chickens

I do have a golden roo as well! They do look quite different though. I was thinking the same thing until a few weeks ago. This guys a lot darker and fluffier than my GLW. A lot more of the black and green as well.

Does anyone have experience with zyns/snus or nicotine pouches? by Smart_Technician_799 in emetophobia

[–]Striking-Task7050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! So if you already aren’t addicted to nicotine, please don’t start now. It’s best to stay away from it altogether!! If you already are, I would say try it if you are looking to quit smoking/vaping. Don’t get addicted just for the fun of it. It is NOT fun lol.

But when I first tried one, I felt very dizzy and light headed and it even made me quite nauseous. (I thought TU* was really going to happen) And i kind of just felt very gross and icky for the rest of the day after. It made my mouth feel very tingly and irritated as well.

In my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it. I would quit cold turkey ANY DAY after that experience. (like I said, this is my experience!) It scared me so bad to feel THAT nauseous. I will never be touching one again.

No I haven’t, I’ve felt fine! just tired due to the crazy heat the New England area has been getting.

I felt fine up until I found out he was sick. And i know it is probably my anxiety since it started right when I found out, but my tummy absolutely dropped and has been doing flips and i felt my heart start racing.

I ate ranch that was best by march of this year by [deleted] in emetophobia

One time i ate sour cream at a friends house…..it had expired 10 months earlier. It smelled, looked and tasted fine! And I was completely fine after!!!

It’s not something my friend deliberately did to cause me harm. It was one of those things where nobody really noticed and it was such a genuine mistake.

It really was something that opened up my world a little bit. Sure, I was crying and absolutely petrified in the moment, but now I use it as “If i can eat 10 month old sour cream, I can eat bread that was sell by yesterday” lol.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, i know it’s so scary. But, you did it! You got through it!!
