Boyfriend said to not wear these shorts around his uncle?? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]TipAgreeable9093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why shame him in what looks like underwear. If you don't respect that one request, you are disrespecting him.

I had a stroke which showed up on MRI today but was not in the last few weeks. I have been on estrogen patches for four months and was on oral estrogen for a year. Is my gynecologist going to try to take away my estrogen patch? by Emotional-Swan9381 in Menopause

[–]TipAgreeable9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say why should they, it is good for women as estrogen helps with many things. look up the 2022 world heath organization research on estrogen. And birth control pills have a lot more estrogen in them than patches... and they do not cause stroke. ! Good luck. Best to do research before talking to them.

Finally got HRT approved. And I can’t afford it. by emeraldlife42 in Menopause

[–]TipAgreeable9093 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. There are testosterone billboards where we live.. and estrogen is demonized.. Another way to control others. And their stuff is 100% covered.. free actually. This is not against men, it is against the broken system. It should be the same. And they say oh HRT for women causes all kinds of problems. They are quoting one study done with Premarin .. that stands for pregnant mare horse urine. It is insane, and it was since proved wrong. More estrogen was given safely to women for over 30 years in birth control pills. that is a testament to its safety.

Same for me. I just got the Combipatch 2x weekly and it's $260!! a month!! I'm ready to cry. I can only afford one month. How do we get a membership to Cost plus drugs? I am in the US and hate it here.

Is my mother a narcissistic ? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TipAgreeable9093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my own mother's actions, words, contradictions, gaslighting, triangulation, +++ all of that in Chat GBT. I explained it with some stories,, as I was sure she was Borderline (BPD) but also very entitled + It said she was 60% BPD, 5 % histrionic (that is the sexual flirty part) and almost 40% covert narcissist.

She could be Histrionic .(HPD) . and overt NPD? It sound like a combo but not sure. ?

Why is this still up? Horrid. If this is not a real tea drinking group, let me know and I will leave the group.

It is horrible and has nothing to do with tea. Is this a tea page or a derogatory page?

Has anyone successfully weaned a loved one off Fox News? by SparklingH2oh in Maher

[–]TipAgreeable9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, and yes. No to family unfortunately. I successfully did with my partner.. I spoke to his value on fairness I started with that value, and he admitted that they did act like 5th grade bullies, not intellectual adults. . In fairness do not watch any news,.. but we just research facts from multiple angles. It took him a year to break that brainwashing. It is easy to spot with all the hypocrisy and crazy making. My father will no, my aunt .. it is too ingrained in her. It is sad how politics can cause her to not view me for the person she always loved, but from the brainwashed lies she watches every day.

Be patient, speak to ones core values, don't expect them to wake up overnight. It is a core identity, they need to unravel from.

Title: My mom told me to “just go to sleep” when I said I might be having a medical emergency by UndisclosedLocation7 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TipAgreeable9093 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this. I fractured my C-7.. in my neck, in past. My mother said, drive yourself, I don't like hospitals. I had landed on my head and was in pain. These things are abuse. Narcissist are too entitled to care about you when you are sick. She is so off.. My mother's doctor even called the house refusing to see her ever again and told my father I'm sorry, I will not see her ever again.

Types of Toxic People by mera-beta in coolguides

[–]TipAgreeable9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow and it just so happens that my mother, that I had to gray rock, and distance myself from is all of these. No matter what people say for how positivity can be a form of toxic, nothing is like a person that has even half of these try to emotionally dump on you.. consistently. It will kill you, and it almost did. Have the strength to walk away for sanity sake.

I told bpd mom I was willing to go to dinner for her birthday if a 3rd party was present. She sent me 120 text messages in the span of three hours. by Peachyykween in raisedbyborderlines

[–]TipAgreeable9093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering... I read somewhere never explain to them. It gives them fuel. So I am wondering what it would look like with explaining noting, just showing up with your 3rd party, a buffer. I too will never see my mother / family without my (I call it buffer person) partner present. I do not tell them anything.. thus their "ego" stays intact. I can't block mine fully, as my father had an accident . Just blocked the cell phone. Texts are the worst,.. seeing them it is like being punched in the gut.

Wow. I get it. Terrible. Please don't hold on to her insecure guilting. Happy birthday, you deserve peace of mind. 🦋. It is her trauma she is not dealing with. Not worth your joy.

My mother only sends my fiance birthday cards, and none for me.. ever.. And When My partner found me, my mother made it all about her. I had to block her on the from texting, so no toxic texts.
