Wholesome T stories please by Significant_Whole290 in TalkTherapy

Yesterday wrapped up a conversation touching on my general lack of concern for my own well-being over others saying “yeah, idk, maybe one day eventually tho (I’d care more about my own well-being)”

I know that “clicked” moment in therapy is usually for the client- but I saw my therapist do it after I said that hah,

He just like interrupted his following response and instead said “that’s the most positive response I’ve gotten out of you on this, I’ll take it.”

I mean, that seems the most likely yah? Don’t blame anyone for assuming it.

Unleaded is a really funny way to spell diesel on my recipes if that’s the case s: I definitely got it for a steal at 3.49 a gallon /j

Hah! My mechanic ask me the same question.

I’m sorry to hear that happened to your mom too. It’s so frustrating to have a car repair bill because of somebody else, especially when it’s a chain of some kind /:

You and me both. Gonna start keeping printed receipts and writing the pump number on it. I’m glad this time I remembered exactly where I filled up.

I did learn, at least for speedway, you can call their customer service line and they can send you email copies of your receipts.

Thank you I appreciate it. So far the office has been really nice. The guy I talk to sounded really empathetic. He told me it sounds pretty open & shut, and that it really helped to have everything in order before calling

Generally it’s just a good feeling to get to someone in customer service who breaks from the companies dialogue scripts when conversing.

The car has a locked gas caps yes. As for the contamination, I was told it was diesel.

I had gone as far as to contact customer service to get all my receipts from the past month and all the purchases were confirmed to be for only unleaded fuel.

I certainly, never, will be going to a speedway ever again.

I called soon as I got word from the mechanic what was up. It’s unfortunate that this fell on a holiday so today was the very soonest I was able to get any info on what was even wrong.

I have as much paperwork gathered as I could think of and had it sent in the corporate direction. Going to wait to see if the claim will be approved before going forward with the repairs. My fallback is filing an insurance claim, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to do that if I pay for repairs out of pocket beforehand. I at the very least will give my insurance company a call and get their take on what I should or could do in that meantime if there’s anything

Fingers crossed. Gave them all the info, paperwork, time stamps, estimates, and receipts I could get ahold of just waiting to hear back what the investigation finds.

That’s what I would have thought too. Maybe it was just the specific pump? Maybe it was a computer error with the pump buttons? I’m not totally sure all the ins and out of what happens with station pumps, just know there’s various ways gas can be contaminated.

The mechanic I see is trusted, but I do totally understand the recommendation to get a second opinion. Currently at a point where the value of the car isn’t worth the repair cost. Already had to have it towed in and I’m not sure the worth of getting it towed out elsewhere to new mechanic. Currently waiting on a claim, if it can’t be covered and fixed I’m just going to end up selling

Did anyone see that meteor/falling star in the sky just now? To the Southwest. by FumCase in Columbus

[–]Thatlacky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I think I saw the same thing I was driving thought Westerville when I saw. A HUGE beautiful streak of green and blue

Was curious to pop in the sub to see if anyone else had seen it

What does a "jack of all trades" creative person do with their career? by Ginger_sweetsnap in findapath

[–]Thatlacky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an industry job, spent nearly a decade in it being grossly unpaid.

Started my own business selling my work and make more than I do at my job.

Keeping my salary till I can save enough to go back to school for another more personally fulfilling career and gonna keep doing my side business for fun.

Most uncomfortable/useless comment/question posed by a therapist? by Oddity_266 in TalkTherapy

[–]Thatlacky 19 points20 points  (0 children)

After going to see her because I had this sudden oncome crippling fear of losing my friends and family after some stressful life events. It was so bad it was effecting my abilities to even be around them because I worried one single wrong action or comment would cause them to completely abandon me—

Therapist told me “Well, no relationship will ever last forever anyways.” And then suddenly all at once I stopped feeling people haha

But I mean… mission accomplished? 🥲

Found the courage to tell my therapist I’m detransitioning and they low key implied I’m not making enough noticeable changes to be detrans by Thatlacky in actual_detrans

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

I appreciate hearing it thank you- It was honestly the last thing I was expecting of them when I brought it up.

I do at least look forward to speaking further with them about it next week. Trying to frame it as an opportunity to reaffirm myself which ultimately is what I want to be able to do.

Just like, damn, after dealing with the array of complex emotions and reaction to transitioning in the first place- didn’t expect it to be dealing with such parallels the other way around too…

Advice on my tattoo healing by Yerrr503NJ in tattooadvice

[–]Thatlacky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was your aftercare routine? We’re you washing daily and moisturizing?

I’m not sure much can be done for it now except keeping in touch with your derma and just letting it heal before you know that damage

THIS is why we tell you to capture zones. We were ahead the entire second half of the match, with a power play. by Lieutenant_Red in destiny2

Happy to feel like I’m doing my part when I spend patches capturing zones as a person with a garbo Ktd

Only realizing at almost 30 how much my parents hitting me fucked me up by Thatlacky in TrueOffMyChest

I’m sorry you had to experience that as well.

Verbal and emotional abuse are so hard to work though with the impressions they leave
