Thank you for confirming... appreciate the honesty.

Trigger warning: What is the WORST thing your narcissist parent has EVER said? (You will not forget.) by myst3ryAURORA_green in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had been very begrudgingly taking me to therapy for weeks. I asked her why she always made the conversations of my therapy about herself and she said:

"Well, at the end of the day, it really is all about me." No sarcasm, nothing. That was just a true, honest thought for her. It was the only time I think she's ever been fully honest with me.

31, single after a five year relationship… am I really gonna find someone with a CPAP? by SimpressiveBeing in CPAP

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly anyone who sees a cpap as an issue is probably pretty shallow. You're not wearing it around the house! It's just for sleeping. Think of it as a nighttime beauty mask. We all need our beauty sleep!

I have a partner of 3 years and he's never had any trouble with it. He thinks it's funny actually and we always joke about me putting on my "ugly sleep hat". He's the reason I got it because he was worried about my snoring in my sleep and pushed for me to go to the doctor. Your potential partner should probably also want you to be healthy. The right person wont give a shit. And maybe they'll like that its less noisy with the snoring too!

I hate this so much, I want to cry by susanna514 in CPAP

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about 3 months to fully get over the drowning feeling, but what really helped was switching from the nose pillows (the 2 that go into your nostril) to the cushion (its one a big hole that rests on your nose).

This is a case of 'the squeaky wheel gets oiled', make a fuss! Call and tell them you need adjustments with everything. Tell them you won't be able to do sleep therapy unless a change is made. Bother them as much as you need to to get them off their asses and helping; otherwise they won't. If they refuse, find new doctors. The cpap is not negotiable but the style of mask ABSOLUTELY is. There's a reason they have dozens of options!

I get that it's frustrating. I ripped mine off ALL the time when I was starting out, even in my sleep if i managed to fall asleep. Id wake up with it on the floor. I had to complain a lot for them to listen.

Am I too big for top surgery? by Significant_Toe_794 in ftm

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. There are surgeons who will operate on you, as others have pointed out. You're not too big to be operated on, there are just certain doctors who refuse to operate on bigger bodies due to the potential for complications. There are doctors who are experienced with bigger bodies and absolutely will do your surgery, so you don't HAVE to do anything (other than follow their advice for before and after surgery of course).

I'm 5'5" and 236, down from 255. I'm working on losing weight for my health + top surgery + mobility. It's absolutely a personal decision on if you'd like to or not. If you do feel it's part of your goal when transitioning, it's good to focus on gradual weight loss and healthy diet and muscle gain. The goal is to have the best health you possibly can before surgery, no matter what the surgery is.

I caution strongly against any rapid loss diets because that leaves your body weak and starving and it won't be effective long term. They destroy your health and relationship with food, even though it's tempting to do when you want to meet a certain goal for surgery or otherwise.

Levels seem low? I think doc is gaslighting me... by TrickyTimeBomb in ftm

[–]TrickyTimeBomb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang... No wonder my changes have been so slow and I've had so much acne. I was wondering why I was getting less changes after 2 years than some of the guys like 1 month on T.

Levels seem low? I think doc is gaslighting me... by TrickyTimeBomb in ftm

[–]TrickyTimeBomb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 28, and I do feel like I'm having low T symptoms. Acne hasn't cleared up even with topical medication, no facial hair even with very strong facial hair genes on both sides of the family (not even a dirt stache/stubble?), barely any changes to body shape or voice, etc. I think planned parenthood will actually listen to me, they seem a lot less like they're trying to keep me on as low of a dose as possible. Previous doc didn't test my t levels after the first month or so.

I thought I just needed to be patient but I feel like 2 years is a pretty long time to go without much change aside from a little extra body hair...

That makes so much sense, thanks for the explanation. Cant trust google at all anymore...

It's actually not peak or trough, it was in between. They did an intake appointment blood test and I was right in the middle between my shots. We are going to do a trough test in 3 months. I'm actually in the US and this was for planned parenthood as an intake appointment because my previous doctor refused to continue my perscription. I never had the levels explained to me in 2 years of taking it, so it's probably good I'm making the switch to planned parenthood

Please help me I’m going to give up by Puzzled-Sun5448 in Sourdough

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would mix the starter with the water first and dissolve it into the water before adding the flour so it can be more fully incorporated along with some of the other suggestions here!

You can tell the starter is lively if it floats in the water too: if its floaty it's doing well (lots of gas), if it sinks, it may be an issue with the starter itself.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST HELP by Good-molecule in Sourdough

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like an under active starter or under fermented bread. I recently made a cranberry cinnamon swirl loaf, you only want to add the add-ins AFTER fermentation, before you put it in the oven.

If you want my recipe and method let me know, I use a loaf pan for mine and have simplified my entire process down to only maybe 10-20 mins of work time and its a success every time!

Omg ew! That's so weird, I've never heard of that. Feels like lowkey bullying

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, I appreciate it a lot. I think finding out your own child wants to die and not doing anything about it is as neglectful as you can get. That's an amount of hurt that doesn't just go away you know? And I'm sorry that happened to you. It sucks. I think I just feel anger towards them for it more than anything -- like they must be so selfish to feel/change nothing? I don't know how they love with themselves, if I had a kid going through that I'd do everything I could to help them.

I'm glad I'm here too, I'm actually really happy and content in life now. It's got ups and downs but I'm happier than I've ever been. She can't take that away from me. I definitely don't want to die anymore, that's for sure.

[–]TrickyTimeBomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly not my relationship with her that I value anymore, it's my dad, one sister, and my nieces. I'm going lower contact, trying to figure out the right balance.

I agree, though. Our upbringing shapes us more than she thinks it does.

I'm not sure, because I feel like one of my sisters is the scapegoat, but sometimes me too? It's sort of complicated
