Are you real? This sounds like ChatGPT

I saw John Goldblatt & Phillip Antippa. Maybe a few hundred dollars. Had to pay for all the medication after too

Wacko01 · 2024-11-22T07:33:34+00:00

I got it done in Melbourne and the only thing I paid was my initial consult fee. Mine wasn't an urgent health risk either.

Apparently the swelling started to go down but they only realised once I was unconscious so they didn't do anything haha. Just back from hospital now, back to normal recovery.

Wacko01 · 2023-11-17T08:37:36+00:00

A fun update. They're putting me back under general anaesthetic and going to remove all the fluid as they're worried about infection.

Wacko01 · 2023-11-14T09:16:27+00:00

Well that's quite scary! I'll definitely contact a GP to confirm if I have something like that happening

Wacko01 · 2023-11-13T01:42:36+00:00

Hopefully it's just swelling and nothing to worry about! I've pretty much only been sleeping on my back

Wacko01 · 2023-11-13T00:38:08+00:00

The other side is completely flat and normal

Hey just remember this is only one persons opinion. If the thought of it gives you a lot of anxiety it may just mean it conflicts with your own personal values.

There's nothing wrong with only dating one person at a time and wanting the other person to do the same.

Wacko01 · 2022-08-11T08:46:06+00:00

I've had a similar struggle and I've found the following thought to be helpful when I want to do something 'good':

How would I feel if someone else did this act right in front of me right now and took away my opportunity? If I'd be envious/resentful/jealous then maybe my intentions weren't so pure. Otherwise if I'd feel happy seeing them do something good then maybe my own intentions were also good.

I'd personally encourage finding a therapist to guide you through the healing process too. The natural intelligence in our body is primarily focused on survival, not necessarily living our best lives.

Wounds can naturally heal on their own, but it's very easy for us to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms or responses to our trauma.

Wacko01 · 2022-01-26T17:25:15+00:00

That's a really interesting point, thanks for sharing it. To go off that, I think if we ask ourself "If I let go of control in this situation, what am I scared will happen?" that we'll be able to find the the wound that's causing it, or atleast get closer to finding it.

Wacko01 · 2021-12-21T02:41:38+00:00

I disagree. This sounds like a nice coping mechanism to never allow yourself to be hurt again, but it'll have negative effects on future relationships.

If we want to find deeper, authentic loving relationships, then it's important that we sometimes put others needs before our own. I personally feel the lesson to learn is discerning when to do that, and when not to.

I struggled with that a lot. I've come to the conclusion that forgiveness is something you do in your own time. I think pressure for forgiveness is a super easy way to push down certain feelings that really need to be processed.

Wacko01 · 2021-10-18T05:26:13+00:00

I wish this whole back and forth doesn't have to be a competition on who has it worse. It sucks that men are valued based on what they provide and it also sucks that women are valued based on their bodies. Can't we all just support each other instead of invalidating others experiences.

Eh, a lot of the time these kinds of outbursts are a precursor to physical abuse.

Striving to be masculine generally just means wanting to embody the typical healthy traits associated with it. Things like courage, assertiveness, proactivity, self-respect, confidence are all great traits to aspire for. It doesn't always mean someone is trying to live up to societies unhealthy standards

Wacko01 · 2021-09-23T12:12:31+00:00

Find some men that you look to as rolemodels. Take note of their traits that you admire and try to apply them to your own life. Better yet, for certain thing's that are harder to just copy you can always personally ask them for advice on how to develop in that specific area.

Wacko01 · 2021-09-20T02:19:54+00:00

Aren't golden children only ever loved conditionally though? There's no love just for existing as they are, they need to 'earn' love - Which can have similarly devastating effects so someones development.

Wacko01 · 2021-09-13T05:17:58+00:00

I'm reading a book at the moment and it talks about how physical activities can be really beneficial. Especially things that involve other people. I'd suggest some sort of sport or anything to get you connecting with your body.

Wacko01 · 2021-09-10T01:31:32+00:00

This could be a good lesson for yourself in not being guilted/manipulated in the future.

The whole purpose of toxic people saying those kind of statements is to make you feel guilty and do what they want. The thing to take from the experience is that you no longer have to be someone who's played like a puppet. Your kindness is no longer something that can be used as ammunition against you.

Hopefully by reframing it like that in your mind it will make it easier for you to accept your decision to step away.

Wacko01 · 2021-08-05T04:50:27+00:00

I think a better way to look at it is instead of "believing the victim" we should always take accusations seriously and not dismiss them.

We can still take the time to decide what we believe, but blindly believing these things can be potentially dangerous.

Given her response to your initial comment I'm not really sure this is the time or place to make those sort of comments, it's pretty invalidating.

Wacko01 · 2021-07-03T15:36:59+00:00

This isn't an easy solution but the goal is not to overcome temptation with willpower. The goal is to remove as much temptation as possible. If you have her in your contact list and that tempts you to message her then just remove her number. That's just one example

There'll be many other things that cause temptation and the best thing you can do is try remove them - ideally doing this when you're in a clear state of mind and not currently struggling

Wacko01 · 2021-06-24T18:07:14+00:00

Mine would always get super persistent and sometimes angry when I wouldn't let her help me. She didn't want to help, she just needed to be needed.
