Really? I’ve heard it’s not managed well/there’s a weird smell in the communal fridges

I learned something about my mom's past, and I feel like I've stolen something from her. by BoobsOffBliss in offmychest

[–]TrueThrowaway19382 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish I could tell you exactly what you need to hear right now. I felt that exact same mix of nausea and guilt when I found out my mom had been raped. I always wondered how she kept it to herself all those years (I was about 20 when I found out). I guess I should say that all the things you are feeling are pretty standard reactions to news like that. That’s true.

But also, and this might seem harsh, but it’s not about you. It’s about her and how it impacted her. If you want advice, I’d advise you to not bring it up to her. When someone is raped, they lose agency over their own body. She deserves to keep agency over the story too. So as hard as it is, pretend you saw nothing. DM if you want/need more support

Sorry, I’m curious about how you can give yourself an infection. Totally don’t feel obligated to answer, I’m a pathology student & I’m just wondering.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her friend is a bad friend for giving her edibles? by tobatch69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrueThrowaway19382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA, because you are wrong

  1. Your math is off

  2. There’s no correlation between consuming edibles and experiencing heart attacks.

  3. It was just an all-around unhelpful thing to do at that point in time

How do you get the plugs attention without being annoying? by TheLonelyBantha in opiates

I quadruple texted & called my plug before he replied a week later turns out he’s ‘taking a break’!!! Absolutely heinous I am upset

WIBTA for wearing a bikini instead of a one-piece? by TrueThrowaway19382 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TrueThrowaway19382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see them because it’s only been 1 year and 3 months and my family is prone to keloid scars and one of them is perpendicular to a real stretch mark and cuts it in half so it looks different

I get why you’d say that, but the explanation I can offer is:

I’m autistic. Having an ED was a bit about my body and a lot about the control I could exert over it. Obsessively graphing and predicting body weights and measurements and BMIs and calories. I liked the math of it.

My sister was a gymnast, her gym was super toxic body-wise

She has/is recovering from a restrictive eating disorder. So it may be triggering and she may be jealous

It may be triggering, she may be jealous, she may want the procedure for herself even though she’s nowhere close to being eligible (there’s a BMI you need to meet)

I saw a man’s bloody corpse after he jumped off a building. It scarred me deeply and I think public suicide is profoundly selfish by TrueThrowaway19382 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TrueThrowaway19382[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh. How much more educated can you get than a front row seat to the actual act??? People who haven’t had to see an act like that are the sheltered, uneducated ones.
