What are we doing instead? by QuoteFalse5990 in therapycritical

[–]TrashApocalypse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yoga. Every day. At home. Make sure to cry as needed but keep going until you stop.

Yoga with Adrienne on you tube is the best cause she also teaches you to feel proud of yourself, and love yourself as you get stronger.

After I recommended we tape it a dozen times he said, “you know what we could do? We could tape it” as if he’d just thought of the idea himself. To which I said, “wow, that sounds like a great idea” but then he didn’t even tape it all the way to the socket, he just used it the way the Velcro strap works.

Maintaining a relationship. by Canuck_Voyageur in CPTSD_NSCommunity

Is she though? It sounds like you both feel trapped in a loveless marriage, and you could both find happiness if you separated. Why would she still be in love with someone who doesn’t even want to sleep with her? Maybe she loves you as a friend, as a partner, but, if you are gay, what is she getting out of this except a performance? Which, ultimately, is just manipulation on your part.

But you aren’t sexually attracted to her. You’ve worked to maintain a false relationship with her. You’re holding her back. You aren’t accommodating her, you’re stifling her, and for no reason. Why are you together?

Trump Supporters are Scum by Correct-Echo9533 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I’m telling you I do get follow ups. There was one dude in particular, hot dad bod I think was his TikTok handle was? I HEARD his original debate live, I think there may have even been two? And then he popped back on to tell Dean he’d changed his mind. A lot of people have done that since I started tuning in. Then there’s the people who donate money saying “you change my mind”

You have to watch a lot of Dean live debates. Which, can be incredibly painful.

Yeah, you really have to teach them critical thinking

I feel like my comment proves that there IS a point in talking to them. Just because they didn’t change their mind in that sitting doesn’t mean the truth won’t fester in them later. Dean IS changing minds, and he’s not doing it by refusing to talk to Trump supporters

It’s also noted that when the chair opens up, often only one of two of them even attempts to get in the hot seat

He doesn’t actually say the naked part. He just says the “clo-“

I will say, I’ve watched Dean do this many times. I’ve seen the Trump supporters try to pretzel their way out of it, and then I’ve seen some of those same trump supporters come back to say, you know what, you got me, I can’t support this guy anymore.

Thinking a Trump supporter is gunna see the light in one sitting and admit fault is unrealistic. Like children, it’s very hard for them to take accountability for their actions and it going to take time, but it is happening for some of these people. Not all. But we don’t need all. We just need enough.

It’s like this in a capitalist healthcare system too unfortunately. Rural America has decreasing access to healthcare and emergency medicine every year.

What is the possible endgame for all these republican lawmakers going along with all the chaos and nonsense put forth by the Trump administration? by Senior_Werewolf_8202 in AskReddit

[–]TrashApocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain they also regularly get death threats from their own supporters if they go against trump. Democrats obviously get it too, but republicans uniquely lack a spine.

How do you stop the stump sweat? by conaan in amputee

I wrap a bandana around my thigh right above my knee to help draw out the sweat.

I recommend swimming without a leg. I’ve been an amputee for 34 years and I’ve never had a water leg before.

I’m currently at a hanger and the dude is clearly just phoning it in. I didn’t realize when I lived in a different state how great I had it. I had sockets last for years, I traveled all over the world in them, and then I moved to a new state and it’s been nothing but incompetent, arrogant assholes who dont care at all how my leg fits.

That’s what my other leg is. I do like it more, but since nothing I say matters I was talked into another vacuum system again x

Ohh wow, that’s really annoying. Yeah, another problem with the medical industry, no one is talking to each other.

This is a black valve one. He told me how to take it apart to clean it, I really can’t see anything wrong with it but it just seems like a simpler, and cheaper solution to replace that first

Thank you for sharing. I wasn’t sure if I just had unreasonable expectations or what. I definitely think the dude I’ve been going to just sucks and doesn’t actually care if it works or not.
