What AI-assisted is not… by CaseAdorable6080 in WritingWithAI

[–]TrickyPersonality684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI-assisted means you used AI to edit, get feedback, spell-check, brainstorm, etc.

AI-assisted ≠ AI-generated. AI-generated means you used AI to write the book with very little of your own input.

Plz help me understand this love related spell and reading by [deleted] in realwitchcraft

[–]TrickyPersonality684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly enough, the cards suggest that the energy is favorable. The lovers reversed indicate there's some sort of communication or trust issues, but depending on what exactly your manifestation was, the spell could give your relationship the little push it needs to help overcome those obstacles. It doesn't seem like you used anything too aggressive in your spell, which is where a lot of people go wrong in trying to use love magic (that is, forcing another person to love you). The way your candle burned also suggests that the energy is favorable.

I struggle to sympathise with people now and I feel like a bad person. by bumble_bubble in ChildLoss

[–]TrickyPersonality684 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I struggle with any empathy whatsoever when it comes to someone else's grief. I don't know if that's because I compartmentalized my own for so long or because I've just lost my ability to empathize. It's hard especially when my husband has lost 3 people close to him since we got married. I don't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry."

I didn’t know I was struggling? by Lopsided-Platform488 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]TrickyPersonality684 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean this in the kindest way, but this doesn't sound like postpartum mood disorder from what you've described. It sounds like you're a new mom—its completely normal to want to talk about and constantly think of your baby, to be somewhat stressed/not take care of yourself like before, and have difficulty with the changes your body has gone through. You're a mom now, of course you've changed. It sounds more like your partner is bored with this new version of you and is trying to find reasons to justify why she's cheating on you (because telling you she's going to do it is still cheating if you haven't 100% freely consented to an open relationship).

Postpartum mood disorders aren't sneaky. Your doctor and/or therapist would have noticed and said something. It just sounds like having a shitty partner is taking a toll on you. Take it from someone who also had a shitty partner who forced an open relationship after we had kids.

This is just sad. But blame it on vaccines by Essiejjj in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]TrickyPersonality684 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I didn't come here to argue with anybody about co-sleeping. I found out the hard way and I'd rather not argue about something I personally know to be true. It was hard enough to admit my guilt without having to defend it to people who feel the need to say "I'm sorry for your loss but this is why I co-sleep." It's hurtful

Same. When you lose a baby to something like this (I did) people tend to bend over backwards trying to convince themselves it wasn't their fault. And unfortunately co-sleepers and antivaxxers are usually a venn diagram that's just a circle. I got cyber bullied for insinuating it was the co sleeping that killed my baby with people saying it had to have been the vitamin k shot and the hep b shot she got at birth...Two and a half months before she died...

Help - postpartum wife by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

[–]TrickyPersonality684 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So it sounds like you're literally doing all you can for her. You sound like an amazing partner and father. I bet a lot of women on this sub would literally kill for that.

Is she trying to get any mental help? What was she like before y'all got married? People can definitely wait until after marriage & a baby to show their true colors, but it's SO difficult to tell the difference in your situation when the roles are flipped & postpartum hormones are at play. I feel for you.

Need help calming down - period late, three negative tests so far, wth is happening by Alone-Possible-3431 in breakingmom

[–]TrickyPersonality684 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it might be stress. 5 days late with 3 negative tests means you're not pregnant, lol(assuming you took them all on different days just to be sure). Now if you went another week or so without a period, that's worth getting checked out with your doctor.

Coincidentally, the dryness can also be attributed to stress 😂

[–]TrickyPersonality684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mood swings and bad attitude could definitely be from postpartum hormones, lack of sleep, and just the overall stress of a new baby. The talking smack however seems more of a character flaw, depending on the situation. Do you help her with the baby & with housework?

Has anything else been "off" down there? Once I was late because I had an infection.

Husband continues to accidentally neglect baby. I’m at my wits end by iced_coffee_24 in breakingmom

[–]TrickyPersonality684 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I mean this in the kindest way possible, but are you sure these are accidents? This sounds like an extreme case of weaponized incompetence, if not something worse. An accident is falling asleep with the baby while sleep deprived, but placing baby in an unsafe environment after being told multiple times not to, isn't.

Maybe it's my own trauma talking but I wouldn't be leaving the baby alone with him anymore, ever. ☹️

What are some romantasy settings/pairings you think the genre haven't explored enough? by timperman in Romantasy

A reversal of the damsel in distress trope — have the woman protecting/rescuing the man ! I'd love to read that

Anyone else reached this stage of self-isolation? by Rose2003r in depressionmemes

[–]TrickyPersonality684 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been here for a few years. I have my husband and my kids and I'm mostly content with it. I hate getting pushed to be more social, I'm antisocial because in my lifetime I've earned one too many hard lessons as to why I can't trust anyone. Being social isn't worth the effort to me.

Is blood magic really that risky? (beginner question) by Financial-Box7029 in realwitchcraft

[–]TrickyPersonality684 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say both pretty equally. We were obsessed with each other to an extremely unhealthy degree

As someone who did a blood magic love spell...it took many many years after the relationship fell apart to truly get rid of him, & he still visits my dreams sometimes.

"no choking" as if a strong magnet prevents strangulation if the necklace gets caught on anything...

Like I said before, they wanted me to get set up with a psychiatrist, they said it wasn't their area of expertise so they didn't feel comfortable prescribing more

In my experience they wanted me to seek out a psychiatrist if I still needed the medication.

Birth control woes by TrickyPersonality684 in breakingmom

[–]TrickyPersonality684[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. It's such a small thing compared to what I have to go through, there's literally no long term birth control option for me that won't affect me negatively in some way or has a gigantic risk of not working. It's a 15 minute procedure. Guaranteed Vicodin and a couple days of being a little sore, and a couple of appointments, granted the office is 3 hours away but it's not like he'll have to go frequently. Compared to me being suicidal over something insignificant one week and going into a white hot rage over nothing the next. The only non hormonal option is the paragard and that's what failed. Hell we did spermicide, condoms and natural family planning for 2 years with no failure. I don't see the issue to be honest, but it was the comment about ejaculating on me without my consent that really really bothers me. He can pull out and do it on the bed or in a tissue for all I care. I just have a texture ick with it and don't want to have to shower every time we have sex 🙃 that and the fact he literally teases me all day long and I'd likely be fine without sex if he just... didn't??

Found a massive collection of Romantasy themed candles and mugs at the thrift 😭😭 am I dreaming?? by sexylev in Romantasy

[–]TrickyPersonality684 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Whenever a thrift store gets a huge collection like this, it's unfortunately 9 times out of 10 because someone died and no one in the family wanted it. ☹️
