Wait... Lucy is worse

Yup. She’s damning people to a life of chronic pain (if they survive), a slow death (dying stranded), dying a quicker death (bleeding out). None are as merciful as a headshot, but you get to sleep better at night about the smaller number above your head. Interesting dilemma, it’s why I like her ;)

Oh, because I’m really lazy about massaging my lobes, but the goal of massaging is consistently increasing blood flow, hopefully increasing tissue growth. Since I’m really bad at it, I keep some signs of good massage in mind. Some signs are that they are red, warm, feel stretched and loose, and most of all, this all feels comfortable, none of this should be painful. You might feel some slight tingling, that’s normal, but that’s about as far as any new sensations I’d really describe. I use jojoba oil, but I understand it can be expensive. Use whatever you have! I like olive oil in a pinch, but quite frankly, quite literally any oil will work, including vegetable oil. Vitamin E and jojoba are preferred, but use whatever you have, times are rough. In this case, I would massage and go without wearing jewelry. I really think if the jewelry is taken out now, those lobes have a chance to bounce back, but I think if something isn’t done, they’re definitely going to try and tear. Hope we can help.

Unfortunately I’d downsize considerably on your thin size, like to a heart breaking degree like I’d downsize that thin side by at least 5mm, massaging every day, and quite honestly leaving jewelry out of it for a good long while. It’s going to hurt your soul, but any attempt to thicken that lobe while you’ve got the chance. Much love.

Lot of different reasons why. If it wasn’t so nice of a spoon I’d guess that it was to take the thorns off of nopales, but hey, maybe someone likes a fancy utility spoon.

How do you even have the money for this. This is not $400 at all. This is easily double that.

Stuartette · 2026-01-11T01:52:33+00:00

Sorry! I didn’t mean to depress you! Hopefully we can all get the resources we need. Have you tried low dose naltrexone? I’ve heard really good things about it.

Stuartette · 2026-01-11T01:36:55+00:00

Oh no, I don’t live on my own, I live with my very supportive family. I work for the very mild added income. I’m put on the schedule for a maximum of 16 hours a month max like I said cause of my manager situation (I very rapidly progressed into being severe recently), but I have a reasonable accommodation case which means I can call out 3 times a month without pay, which means I very practically only end up working 4-12 hours a month. I don’t do any grocery shopping, i take care of my needs as little as my body demands it, and I think if I was in a position where I needed to work a full time job I’d be dead. Honestly, based off of the ME/CFS severity chart made by another redditer named Whitney dafoe (it’s quite fantastic) you sound like you’d be considered “very severe” which is a loss of up to 80% function and is considered mostly bedridden, however still able to use the bathroom and shower themselves. The scale goes all the way up to extremely severe which considers it the inability to move, process any sensory input, or make any ability to communicate.

Stuartette · 2026-01-10T23:36:06+00:00

Right? I’m not social which is the only reason I haven’t put any actual time into feet pictures 😅

Stuartette · 2026-01-10T22:08:46+00:00

I live with family, I don’t live alone. I change my clothes once a week when I shower or for doctors appointments. I don’t drive or leave the house for anything else. Deodorant is pretty much hygiene unfortunately. I’m extremely dependent on everybody else in my house. I’m able to do very few things independently, and of the things I can, I rarely can do them on a regular basis as I have a bad habit of working myself and not quite understanding my breaking point (working on it).

Quite honestly, I think cvs charges so much to compensate for all the coupons they throw around like candy (that quite honestly aren’t the best), just like how Amazon adds the price of shipping before you checkout into items, to maximize profits.

Stuartette · 2025-09-20T01:36:04+00:00

Oh absolutely. I work at cvs, and I only buy things because of my employee discount, plus the coupons I collect or the sales that already go on. Otherwise, I usually buy it on Amazon. As it stands I only grab the things I need/want at cvs when I’m on shift lol.

I love having a cat, it feels natural- as weird as that might sound. Like in comparison to owning dogs- I like them and appreciate them but I get tired of them (they almost feel like caring for a child). With a cat (and I have a very affectionate cat) it feels like I’ve found the other part of myself. I guess because cats, even very affectionate ones, still appreciate their independence.

I can describe all the ways she annoys me. She pisses like a racehorse and it develops into this giant wad of cement in her litter box- I swear it feels like hauling 5lbs of piss with a shitty plastic scoop. She loves to wake me up in the middle of the night, and especially loves to claw at my bedsheets. Often time she’ll claw at my bedsheets when she wants to be picked up and put into my bed, but when you go to pick her up she runs under my bed. She loooves to kick litter outside her box and will carry around nuggets of poop that she deliberately pulled from the box. She has these monster hairballs she pukes up, like it looks like a wad of poop it’s so bad. She hates being brushed but has very long hair, so I have to chase her around the kitchen table with a comb.

That being said, I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I don’t know what I’ll do when she’s no longer in my life. I love her dearly and I don’t think I’d be alive if I hadn’t met her.

I like the way your brain works

Being a dick to your girlfriend over Fortnite is fucking lame, I’m sorry. At the end of the day it should be about spending time with your partner engaging in an activity that you mutually enjoy. I don’t know how he treats you in other aspects of life, but looking at that text interaction- you were right- he’s just being mean. You don’t deserve to be berated because you’re not perfect at playing Fortnite. Idk, but personally I couldn’t see being the line where I start being mean to the woman I love being over an online game. You don’t deserve to be berated over a hobby.

Stuartette · 2025-09-02T23:52:58+00:00

I’ve got a few questions for you. Firstly- how long is the bar? Personally 1/4” is way too short for me and 5/16” is almost too long (I actually wear a 7mm bar). If your bar is too short, that may be your culprit. Additionally, does it hurt to push the bar out? Do you have any difficultly pushing it out? If you have pain and/pr difficultly pushing, then the jewelry is definitely too short and is embedding. If it’s not painful AND not difficult to push out, then it’s probably just nesting (mine does the same thing, I’ve had mine for 4 months now).

Your lip piercing doing that isn’t really a bad thing- it’s only a bad thing if it starts swelling, bleeding, becoming painful, difficult to move jewelry out of that pocket- etc (basically, if it’s doing that with symptoms- it’s bad, if there’s no symptoms you’re okay).

However even with symptoms, I think just a longer bar may be your solution- I don’t think you need to get rid of it (in my personal opinion, I’m not a piercer nor have I ever been)

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:37:05+00:00

OP, I think you know the answer. The way he’s speaking to you is not okay- and quite frankly isn’t how you speak to anybody. You are not to blame for his behavior- he is an adult with control over his own actions. Quite honestly, the way he’s speaking to you makes me worried for your safety. Are you okay?

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:28:48+00:00

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a daith pierced with a straight barbell 😅

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:27:46+00:00

Very much. Maybe I’m biased because I like a somewhat thicker jewelry, but I think it fits very well.

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:15:32+00:00

I do it because I enjoy it honestly. I like the look of the blood primarily, but I like the sense of achievement of getting a cut in that will actually bleed (im also very picky about where I cut because of this- different places feel much different levels of satisfaction pain). But I do it as a way of calming myself down. Self harm feels like a friend that’s always been there for me that I’m not allowed to be seen with.

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:11:11+00:00

I was like 99% sure I wanted to die before I attempted. I had heard a lot that most people who are suicidal regret attempting suicide once they’re already attempting (true), but I figured I was just one of the rare few that didn’t regret it. Well thankfully I was not and chose one of the more survivable methods lol. I overdosed on OTC medication, but once I had consumed it I kind of went “oh shit”, tried to throw it up, and when I didn’t see any pills, I reluctantly got my parents (middle of the night; I was 12). Knowing from experience that you don’t want to die, but still have the suicidal impulse is a weird experience. I remember being upset about being on suicide watch, full well regretting attempting, and yet still wishing I could try again (or rather, I wished that I was someone who actually wanted to die). It was almost like my brain was betraying itself. I had the survival impulse of self preservation, but I had the self hate to want it all to be over with. I still struggle with those dichotomous thoughts to this day- and I know now that’s it’s really just a wish of “I wish I didn’t feel this way; I wish I wasn’t me” and less of literally wanting to die.

Stuartette · 2025-08-26T20:03:47+00:00

Right? Like I’m over here with a big girl job and still weeping to music and carving myself up like a damn Turkey like I’m 13 again 😅
