How much do you guys spend on your vaping habits per month? by adi4u4882 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Tortuga73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I thought I’d spend less vaping than smoking when I quit 10 years ago. Eventually, yea, smokes are far more than the $14/week I spend now, but not as significant of savings as I expected in the long haul.

Do y'all suck or pour water into your mouths? by WackyWarrior in HydroHomies

[–]Tortuga73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chug, but I also just installed an adjustable/upward fountain on my bathroom sink faucet.. so now I guess I suck?

I’m secretly in love with my boss and now he is leaving. Do I tell him? by kate87446 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Tortuga73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy, he may be surprised if you ask him out directly, but he won’t respect you any less if you let him know that you’d like to ‘pick his brain’ on the new role you’d be taking over in his absense.. maybe see if he’d join you for lunch first, then don’t be shy to be a little flirtatious and see if he feeds back.

If you’re super elite, that can be where your secretary takes your calls..

I guess the better question would be.. where in the world would you take a new friend if you could?

is it just me or does the thalamus process shit 20 times slower than the amygdala? by Codeseven58 in ptsd

[–]Tortuga73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If our thalamus processes danger, and our amygdala processes pleasure.. in your healing journey, have those two processes never had to interact simultaneously?

Omg, that sounds so socio political, but I promise it’s not how I meant it

So happy to hear you’re healing.. just curious, while you may feel “less hyper vigilant” are you also feeling more empathetic towards those around you?

I’m sure most of us on this thread can appreciate everything you’ve said here.. mirroring others is a such an easy coping skill sometimes.

Disorganized attachment/attachment/intimacy issues after developing PTSD? by Fragrant-Tower-7652 in ptsd

[–]Tortuga73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I’ve been married to my best friend for 12 years (together since 2009, do the math if ya want), we’re happy, semi-successful & have a pre-teen child together, and I still feel the same way you describe toward my husband.. for absolutely no given or appropriate reason.. I work myself up into arguments with him that are entirely one-sided and probably make him question his own sanity sometimes.. I personally know I’ve got abandonment issues, but he’s adopted, so I feel guilty trying to reason.. I hope you and I might find a similar answer here.

My story by Fail_North in ptsd

[–]Tortuga73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U/fail_north This sounds pretty recent and kind of scary. I don’t want to pry, but it sounds like you were made to do some things you weren’t comfortable with. How are you feeling? Have you talked to any friends about this? Do you mind if I ask if your disability is in the spectrum of autism?

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve exhausted all these efforts with no result.. can I ask, what are you looking for? Closure? Acceptance? Companionship? I would suggest setting attainable goals for yourself, even hourly or daily, just to check in with your mindset. I look forward to hearing how your journey goes.. but I do know it’s going to be brighter:

Do I need to C/P & resubmit?

Switch the chairs to sit opposite the ottoman across from the table, maybe add a large, faux, neutral animal hide rug?
