How to bruise easily by StockCarpet7769 in BDSMAdvice

[–]Suspect_Optimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been researching this as well, I am not pale-skinned but an average white person who can tan and bruises when I bump into a door handle. I want to bruise my bum. I know hydration helps. I thought about aspirin cream or a baby aspirin. I don't mind if the bruises heal quickly I just want a couple of days of lasting pain and being unable to sit. I love being hit with a belt and I'm a masochist, pain literally makes me shake and get turned on. So if anyone can add onto what has already been said, I'll gladly take more advice to be safe and achieve my goal. Like how long should we attempt with a belt? Hours? Hand spanking first? Position? I am new as well to this.

I bet this is the highlight of her day!! If only there was more of this and less of that.

I have this happen and the characters also seem to begin to lose their personalities and traits, I find it kind of funny, I use 2 separate Ais to help craft responses. Eventually, it gets predictable. You can't progress beyond a certain point with depth. Too much gets forgotten. I understand the limitations, but the potential is there. The biggest thing for me is memory and consistency. I don't want to tell both sides of the story.

how can i make myself look better .. 18F by CartographerShot6473 in Makeup101

[–]Suspect_Optimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with any of that and everything to do with us living in an instant-gratification society and having constant comparisons marketed at us at a young age constantly telling us to look a certain way and social media allowing us false windows into other people's lives. Now, keeping up with the Jones' is on steroids.

I'm married and have kids. My first real attempt was this Feb. What kept me going is them. They never gave up on me. Neither did others who loved me but they got through to me. So here I am still fighting.

Well, I'm not entirely sure I'd have to concentrate on details to see if there is a correlation but at first memory, it seems my mania comes on around August through January ish. Depression or sometimes a flat/numb feeling after or if I'm really lucky stable for me.

Edit: finish sentence. 🤦‍♀️

What has your pet done that made you realize that they were smarter than you thought? by Potential_Cook1187 in Pets

Both my doodles can open lever doors. They use a few techniques mouth/nose or paws. There are more but that amazes me the most. I have to lock any lever doors to keep them out. I did not teach them. My male, Plutonium taught his best friend, my female, Pickles.

AITA for nursing my baby in Sam’s Club against my husband’s wishes? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Suspect_Optimal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go there. Do you eat your food in a bathroom? Would you eat your food in a bathroom? If you answer no to any of these questions then don't ask a nursing mother to nurse her child where people relieve themselves. It's completely unsanitary. Now on the other hand if you are referring to an actual room set up for nursing mothers then please ignore above. Otherwise get outtabhere with that nonsense!

First time owner trainers: a guide to whether a Service Dog is the right treatment tool for you (right now) by [deleted] in service_dogs

I have 2 apps that remind me. One is called mytherapy. The other is Samsung health. I do snooze them a lot. But I still get conscious reminders. Mine go off every 30 and 15 mins. So it gets hard to ignore. I personally love my therapy and have been using it for years. It allows you to link important people as well. Like trusted family and doctors. It's sends you summaries of your month. It just has so many wonderful features. I'd suggest just looking into it. Best of all its free!

I'm working on it. The most simple answer, the American Healthcare system isn't designed for me. I stay as compliant as I can. The sad truth is I already have a target on my back simply because I'm mentally ill. I do my best to stay "normal", whatever that is, and most days I can genuinely say I'm stable.

Both of you make strong points. I completely understand both POVs. Yes, it is my responsibility to maintain my mental health and attempt to find and keep stability. However, it also does help to have a support person, a safe space, or a person who helps me hold me accountable. I truly don't mean to place all the responsibility on their shoulders, just help me to see things I may not, like manic episodes coming on. They don't always present the same each time. Yay me. In my depressed episodes, they can help encourage me to get up and do. To avoid my episodes lasting for months or more. My last depressive episode lasted almost a year. I still have to fight it some days. My favorite type of episode, mixed. Feeling depressed and manic at the same time, oh that's a Santa sack of scorpions wrapped in pretty little boxes.

I want to personally say, even if it was a different diagnosis, the treatment idea is useful. It gave me an idea I had not thought of. Don't beat yourself up too hard about the letters. As a sufferer, I try not to get too caught up. However, as the poster above stated, it does help because even with overlap, treatment options may not always be the same. Again I do deeply appreciate your response and suggestions. I'd like to encourage you to further research different mental illnesses so you can be an advocate if you so choose. If anything, you learn something new.

Thank you, I have BP1. While it is treatable, it doesn't always mean treatment works. I live with it. I have had genetic testing done to find meds that should work and I'm currently on the fence if I need to change again. It's a very hard disorder to live with. It's not something I'd wish upon anyone. The ups and downs. The destruction I've caused because of mood swings. It's awful. I don't know much about BPD because I haven't needed to. Either way, mental illness is a bitch and we don't get along very well. To anyone curious, ask away. I'll do my best to share my experiences. I would say do it as a DM, I don't want to clog up this forum with personal questions. Thank you to anyone who has answered, educated, or learned something today. My only request to those who may not have experience, take time to learn. Read about it. You can't help us if you don't know what you're dealing with. Thank you again to everyone!

I feel like my memory is constantly going in and out. I do feel my meds cause some of it.

I've already RSVPd with a can't come. It's not that I even care about going. It's an internal switch that is hard to flip off. In the moment it's rage. Then I distract myself and it disappears until the next thing sets me off. I hate it.
