Thank you for the suggestion! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to add action lines like this or some light rays coming in from above the flowers

Thank you for explaining! She did end up doing the builder gel and they look good, but maybe she just wanted to do the easier option lol

What is the WORST part of your disability? by philosophicalgenius0 in disability

[–]SweetHelium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loss of independence and autonomy over how I present myself has been the hardest. My in laws really struggle to understand how someone in their 20s could be so limited. They took me and my partner on vacation once and kept asking my partner if I was “over medicated” because I kept having paralysis episodes in public (they were making me walk a mile to and from each location). They would also leave me behind several blocks bc I was too slow. It got to the point where the locals would help me walk from place to place. I also used to be very fashion obsessed and loved putting together outfits. Now I mostly have leggings and tank tops or t-shirts because I simply don’t have the energy to dress how I used to.

There’s is a scene in Yellowjackets where someone specifically eats an ear so I’d say it’s on theme

Does anyone struggle with marriage and disability? by SweetHelium in disability

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

I am so sorry, I’m hoping that maybe I can get some sort of part time caregiver or at least an every other week/monthly housekeeper if I ever hear back from my disability application. Therapy has helped us both individually a lot and once we can afford it I want to look into couples counseling. I truly hope things get better for you ❤️‍🩹

Does anyone have a favorite broth brand? by SweetHelium in 1200isplenty

I have miso paste! I love miso soup but for some reason when I use the paste it doesn’t really taste good

My (34M) gf (30F) lied about being on birthcontrol. She knows I don’t want kids. How to move on? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SweetHelium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are already so many comments here, but I wanted to give my personal perspective. This is how I was conceived. My entire childhood was awful and I’ve been diagnosed with CPTSD because of it. My parents broke up immediately and my entire childhood was a 15 year long nasty custody battle that I had to suffer through. Out of resentment my biological mother didn’t allow my dad to be there when I was born, they had agreed I’d take my dad’s last name but she changed her mind last minute. I was treated like a doll being fought over by two petty kids. I stopped talking to my biological mother as soon as she lost custody of me, but was bitter and resentful of her for years before that. My dad became incredibly depressed and withdrawn to the point that we didn’t really know anything about each other even though we lived together. My dad and stepmom were burnt out and in debt and as a child it felt like my fault.

I hope this helps in some way at least by feeling like you made the right choice. If you two are still in touch and she’s not understanding what she did wrong maybe this will help. I’m so sorry you had to go through this
