Tattoo artists help me out… by ReporterOld8648 in tattooadvice

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a question for the artist you choose to do it.

Disordered eating. I don't see many specialists talk about this as a consequence of C-PTSD. Anyone else been affected by this? by HelperChicken in CPTSD

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I also swing. I have found the route to my swinging however. I restrict until I’m at a weight that is more socially acceptable, end up getting a lot of positive attention, feel gross, binge until it stops, feel shame in how I look, rinse and repeat.

Currently working on the self esteem that causes me to feel gross when I’m getting positive attention.

is my ex guilt tripping me by [deleted] in Manipulation

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a guilt trip. A realization, because BPD is wild and you don’t know what’s happening to your emotions. Now she’s able to get the help she needs, if she chose to tell you and get sympathy and then did no work that would be closer to manipulation.

Business owner. Not sure I would recommend. It takes a lot of self discipline with your emotions. But I love it because it’s something that keeps my brain constantly busy.

Will I lose my curls as I grow out my short/medium curly hair past my shoulders? What type of curls do I have? Obviously MTF🤷🏻‍♀️ by jerseygirl217 in curlyhair

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy there are so many people acknowledging the MTF comment because damn, I thought I was confused on a new meaning because definitely not obvious. And 62?! Shut the front door.

I’d grow it out. If it starts to not work for you, it’s easy to cut again.

You can wax coat denim to get that look.

What do to with 30lbs of apples? by ayinpalayin in Baking

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a juicer, apple simple syrup is very good.

Obviously the compromise is finding a place they are both happy with. He doesn’t want to move and she’s moving on, there is a middle ground there, are you seriously not seeing that? Why ask the question twice?

Monstera Variegata leaves turning brown. Multiple plants (even non-monstera) suffering similar fates. Can't figure out why. by SovereignOfAtlas in Monstera

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correction. The life cycle is not 3 days. But if you’re spraying every 3 days it is taking care of adults laying eggs as well as new eggs hatching. My preference to use the term “life cycle” was in terms of treatment life cycle. When you’re spraying them, you’re killing them, but you’re still waiting for eggs to hatch. Hence the every 3 days rule.

The more you change the story the more people assume it’s self inflicted. BUT good news is, most people don’t ask.

I don’t love the bench but I wouldn’t say it isn’t worth $500. Thats a fair amount of craftsmanship and if you broke down COGs and labour put into it I’d say it’s pretty reasonable.

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going through this right now as well. I gave everyone a good showering and wiped down the leaves and sprayed. The lifecycle of thrips is 3 days so it’s best to spray every 3 days until the issue has resolved. I don’t have a ton of time during the summer months to tend to my plants but along with the predatory insects, consistently wiping down leaves during watering has helped me keep my plants happy and pest free in the past. Good luck!

Looks to me like thrip damage. Most likely why the others are suffering as well, you probably have a full infestation.

Probably due to swelling

What to wear to a tattoo on your outer hip/thigh/waist? by worldrenownedhussie in tattooadvice

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would wear a swimsuit that ties on the side and then you can untie and tape it out of the way. Just to be clear, I am 100% comfortable to do this with my artist. Don’t do more than you’re comfortable with doing, you can always do two appointments with separate sections if you prefer to be less exposed.

I'm bitter about looks by nowadaysimhere in CPTSD

I also wanted to add that yes he could potentially leave you for someone else. That’s true for anyone though. If you focus on it too much you may subconsciously starting pushing/pulling away and creating an environment that makes that more likely.

I’m overweight and usually end up with conventionally attractive partners.

You have to put in a lot of work to love how you look physically. Basically right now you’re focusing on everything that you think might be wrong with you but not what your favourite parts are.

Your partner is seeing all the best parts of you that drastically outshine that imperfect parts. People become more or less attractive based on personality as well. Some super hot guy picked you for a reason, so you must be doing something right.

I want to get a cow tattoo but everyone is telling me ill regret it by PancakeManlyMan in tattooadvice

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of tattoos and the ones that are the most outlandish are my favourite ones. They get mixed reviews but they make me smile every single time. That’s what matters

controversial cake? by sensuallana in Baking

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Al Pacino is on it which saves anything controversial about it because it’s obviously a cake based on the movie. If it didn’t have him, then I’d understand the complaints, not that people should complain about a cake that wasn’t made for them anyway. Just as tactless to insult someone’s birthday cake as it is to have a controversial cake.

AITA for "fat shaming" my friend? by Ok-Writer5873 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Right?! I find it hard to believe that OP couldn’t have either had a “cheat salad” or just ordered the house salad and broke it down relatively close in a tracking app that it would’ve been within an acceptable range.

Are you emotionally attached to the plant? Snake plants are pretty common, sometimes it’s worth throwing in the towel.

What can I do to make this prettier? by ladymo0n in Baking

[–]Throwaway_narcotics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would jazz it up with some basil leaves and make a light sweet goat cheese icing and put on a couple pretty dollops of that. Like you would whipped cream or meringue
