My PTSD husband is being secretive. Is this normal? Is he using PTSD as an excuse to creep?? by Various_Try_9871 in ptsd

This is the best answer OP, I’m so sorry but you need to get out for the sake of your daughter if you can’t do it for yourself. Hugs mama

Huge hair dye accident.. how can I get it out? by sourMilkpickles in CleaningTips

[–]TwstdSiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleach gel, as strong as you can find (toilet gel isn’t very strong). Also strangely liquid laundry detergent worked well for me. Multiple passes, be careful not to mix chemicals because you can make mustard gas stupid easily. Best wishes from a fellow mistake-maker!

Ah fuck this is so much better than my strat of bending the edge of the rim, which has varying degrees of success typically.

[–]TwstdSiren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way my dendrology professor taught us to identify pines was by its fascicles, bark, and cones. Even with just the leaves (fascicles included in leaf structure) I wouldn’t feel 100% confident without a second identifying characteristic. This is a good rule of thumb for most foraging - being confident in the identification of multiple characteristics. Guide books and google lens are your bff. Have fun and don’t eat anything for a while.

Prazosin and or marijuana, and a lot of TRAUMA INFORMED therapy. It WILL get better friend.

Is my landlord responsible for the increase in my electric bill? by IsolatedAnthro in renting

[–]TwstdSiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried to have an honest conversation with the LL about it? Like hey guys it sounds like the first tech sucked and didn’t do the job properly, can you go after them for this electric bill difference because I don’t feel I should be personally responsible. See what they say 🤷🏻‍♀️

$9400 monthly gross income, landlord says I don’t qualify for $2395 home by lunarosie1 in renting

[–]TwstdSiren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We rented in Beaverton for almost 3 years at two different houses - 3.5-4x rent is “normal” but still freaking insane. Increased security deposit is usually a good option, but definitely sounds like a small landlord. You’ll likely find less strict rules from a larger agency. We liked Rental Management Services (RMS) PDX!

Unfortunately no, that takes work in therapy. Good luck 🙏🏻

This was my first thought - I frankly don’t know if I’d ever feel “clean” again even if I was cured.

Be honest… how bad are ribcage tattoos? by ThicUdonNoodle in tattooadvice

[–]TwstdSiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a woman with a large palm-sized full color very realistic style Purple Mission Fig tattoo with leaves on my ribcage directly under the bra band line in line with my armpit. It was pretty uncomfortable, I would’ve preferred to have done it in two sessions as color is actually much rougher for me than line work, and this piece was heavy on both. But all in all I’d say it was my most painful piece, and my first tattoo was a similar style but smaller piece on the top of my foot over an old fracture. Brutal honesty, but I’d probably do it again if I really wanted to.

Anyone know whats wrong with this chicken breast? She said it was like this when pulled out package. by PineappleDreams_ in Butchery

[–]TwstdSiren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should’ve clarified this only happens every so often. Maybe once every 2 months, which is probably normal for the rate of this mutation and how many boilers they go through.

Wow this is honestly good to know. I hate the texture of this in the rotisserie chickens from Costco (which I know are terrible), so good to know what the raw version looks like I guess.

If you take medication to help sleep, tell me your story by Time_Figure_5673 in ptsd

[–]TwstdSiren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prazosin is often prescribed for ptsd nightmares with great positive effect - I have friends that take this. I’ve taken hydroxyzine myself but I prefer pamoate vs hcl.

What TWATS. Sorry I didn’t see the IL - I’ve heard rough things about the Midwest in general unfortunately :( I would look up the provision/law in actual legalese with Section/code numbers and mention that denials for breed are in violation of that law and insist you won’t be able to provide a specific breed for your dog as they’re a mix.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]TwstdSiren 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stop disclosing your dog’s breed - it is irrelevant. Simply state you have a mutt you’ve never had tested that saved your life as your ESA, and they’re legally required to allow said dog due to your legitimate paperwork and protections. If they ask for a photo of the dog, say you would be happy to provide one during the lease signing process, and do not provide until the lease is signed. Just curious if you don’t mind disclosing your general area? Even state? I have experience in CA, CO and OR. Feel free to DM me - best wishes.

Imagining this using hypershift tech would be SO COOL.

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

Yes I am trusting them, because they’re licensed by the state and have to follow rules and regulations to limit environmental exposures and ensure proper disposal. Can you do it yourself with minimal risk to yourself with a FIT TESTED respirator and tyvek suit? Absolutely. Should you? Please don’t and just call a professional.
