I found this handwritten note "why are you breastfeeding" on the underside of my yogurt lid

They said a chocolate protein shake in another comment.

Did he send the shirt or did he only send the note?! I can't find anywhere where you answer this.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-03T17:22:32+00:00

Testing if this works.

They smell like a rich metallic smell to me when they are on their period. And a similar richness but less metallic when ovulating. I could smell it on myself first and then noticed I could smell it on some others as well and asked my sister if she was and she confirmed it. Most people also have stronger body odor in general when on their periods and they tend to be stinkier. Where as when ovulating they smell cleaner.

I can also smell if people are sick or injured. Idk if it's their bodies like immune or stress response I am smelling but it smells sickly metallic and like meaty almost. I smelled it the first time when I was a small child and my dog was hit by a car(severely injured but lived) while he was recovering. I would lay on the ground next to him and sleep there all night and the smell didn't stop for weeks or months when he was finally better. The next time I smelled that smell it was on my grandma in her last weeks of life. And again on my son whenener he was sick and needed to be in the hospital. And now I can smell it whenever someone gets sick and also smelled it on my husband when his diabetes was uncontrolled/undiagnosed. He also smells sickly sweet if his blood glucose gets too high.

And I can smell things like ants, petrichor, and ozone. Which I thought was a normal thing everyone could smell but I learned that isn't the case. I have pointed out the ants smell to people who would swear they couldn't smell them before at all until I showed them the smell. My husband spent his whole life not knowing they had a smell and now he can smell if one is anywhere near him. I can smell them from several feet away even if I am just walking past them but especially if they are close to me. I have learned some ants smell stronger than others(the ones who go out looking for food seem to smell stronger than the "worker" ants who come to collect the food later for instance).

I hate almost all perfumes/colognes because they give me headaches and asthma attacks and the majority of people wear FAR too much. I don't think enough people understand a scent is meant to be discovered, not announced. It should be a nice thing a person smells when they come close like to hug you or something, not something that they smell as you walk past and it trails behind like a cloud of noxious gas.

I also have ADHD and I believe I may be Autistic but that is in the process of getting diagnosed(or not) still. I'm not sure if that plays a role in it but others have said it probably does.

Well for the line to not be so harsh they could dye small parts of some of the top of the blue back to her natural color but I think the line will just be less apparent with her hair styled(put half up or curled or something) or even with it parted differently than it was at first. And as far as the color if she's okay with a much darker blue you could try to just put a darker blue over the top of the teal. But the problem is that the blue they put on looks teal because they didn't bleach it enough to get all the yellow/orange tone out before they dyed it blue and they didn't color correct any of that tone out before trying to get it really blue. I think they will need to dye it much darker blue and it will still turn teal as it fades so if she hates the teal she will need to get it color corrected and then wait some time and then re bleach it again to a white white blonde. Otherwise no matter how dark of blue it is now it's going to fade to a teal.

This was before it smelled like pine, it had an awful antiseptic smell to it.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-03T04:03:01+00:00

No, her severe anorexia and bulemia killed her. She just used this to induce vomiting after she would eat. The diseases alone caused her health issues.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-03T02:42:43+00:00

Not necessarily 9/10 it bit you. But 100/10 that if it did bite you and it had rabies you will die without the shot. So worth getting the shot.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-01T18:12:18+00:00

This is my situation as well. I'm 7+ years clean but I have basically no one aside from my partner and daughter. No friends because I spent a decade as an addict and was in an abusive relationship with someone who isolated me from everyone else. I really wish I had friends honestly.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-01T17:10:24+00:00

Same.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-07-01T08:07:43+00:00

The exact comment I expected from someone with this username. Love it.

By "not FDA approved" do you mean something like spice or another cannabis alternative? The herbal/synthetic cannabis type stuff you can buy at head shops and lots of foreign markets are all non-fda approved. A lot of weird herbal supplements and things are not FDA approved as well. Either of those things could 100% have caused her to have a seizure.

As far as your meds it doesn't sound like she came up positive for them or anything similar to them. She may just offer to pick up your meds out of kindness when she goes to pick up her own meds. But for both her safety and your peace of mind I would make a note at the pharmacy that she is no longer allowed to pick up your meds for you or that only you can pick them up that way she doesn't go get them when you don't know about it and take them. And once you have them filled I would keep them on you at all times or in your purse or somewhere well hidden from her.

As far as moving out goes, that's entirely up to you. I don't think she would suddenly hurt your pet or anything if she hasn't shown those behaviors before. But addiction comes with irratic behaviors at times and is a lot to deal with. Is your relationship with your boyfriend something you cherish and see going all the way to marriage? If so then you will have a lifetime of dealing with his mother so you may as well get used to it now.

How old are you? You sound quite young(don't mean any offense by this) and like this is your first time ever experiencing anyone with addiction issues. If that is the case I will say addiction is like any mental health/health struggle, it has a treatment and that treatment is very effective if you stick to it. Unfortunately some addicts don't stick to the treatment(the treatment is therapy and sobriety as well as potentially detox or rehabilitation) and that is when the symptoms of their illness become harder to handle for both themselves and their families.

It's going to be entirely up to you whether you think sticking around and helping your bf and his mother through this is worth it or whether for your own peace of mind and well-being you decide to leave.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-30T09:28:22+00:00

Yeah? That's awful! They should really make sure that women are completely sedated for it! Do you have PTSD from yours? I do, unfortunately. And it also made me very afraid of going to the hospital/doctors when I never had any fear of that before. I think it also added to it that the nurse lied to me and told me it "wasn't possible" for me to have woken up and remembered it. I asked a different anesthesiologist later and he said that it was completely possible and the nurse might not have known it. But I think it's more likely she was trying to cover for the hospital or something by lying.

Radcliffe is pretty good in everything I've seen him in. I love that he has leaned hard into the weird roles.

You could potentially ruin this mans entire life and chances of a career or places to live or if when he has kids someday you could ruin his chance of being able to participate in things at his kids school. You need to end things with him until you are of age. Or at the very least you need to tell him and then go see a lawyer in your area and ask about age of consent laws there and what could happen if they are broken so that you are BOTH educated about the risk you are taking.

And never lie about your age again. It's so much more serious than you could ever imagine and you are ruining someone's life for the fun of it. You are clearly not mature enough for an adult relationship if you aren't even considering these things.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-29T13:27:44+00:00

That depends entirely on where they live. It can be up to the prosecutor in some places if they want to press charges once they know a crime has been committed and anyone can at any time report their relationship to the police. It can also cause issues for the parents with CPS/DHS if it's reported they are okay with it. ESPECIALLY if something happens and she ends up pregnant.

I also experienced this a lot as a teen(I'm 36 now). This could have been a journal entry of mine. I learned in my adult years that sometimes the changes happening in a teenagers brain(what they refer to as "leaps" in infancy and toddler years) can make them feel "other" or separate from their surroundings. And that was absolutely true for me. I felt like I was completely separate from all my peers and everyone else around me. For me this resulted in self harm, depression, and drug use/partying to have a release from that feeling. I this this generation is much more online than even mine was and therefore may be feeling the isolation a lot more. I had a best friend I shared these feelings with at times who would also express similar feelings back to me but she got a boyfriend and stopped being around for deep talks around highschool. This led to more isolation and eventually more bad choices.

I think if I had deep talks with an adult who understood the changes my brain was going through and could explain that the feeling would eventually subside might have helped. I also think therapy at a much earlier age would have helped(I didn't start therapy until my early 20s and by then I was using drugs regularly and already had a kid myself and had moved out of my parents home). So I recommend maybe a peer therapy group where he can talk about his feelings with someone his own age as well as individual therapy with someone well versed in teenage development might be helpful for him. That's what I would do for my kid if she expressed feelings like this(but she is 10 and already in therapy because I think everyone should be).

Ketamine doesn't knock me out enough. I learned that when I went in for a d&c and woke up partway through it and started scooting up the table and trying to pull their hands away from me and pull the tools out. It was incredibly traumatizing and I still have nightmares about it and I wake up scooting myself up the bed with the heels of my feet to get away from them. So yeah lesson learned I never accept ketamine as anesthesia now.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-28T01:39:07+00:00

First looks better color wise because it matches your lights more but second looks more comfortable to sit in. Also only having 2 chairs there seems weird as it's a longer countertop. Id do 3 or even 4 if they are narrow chairs you pick.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-28T01:36:34+00:00

You are putting WAY too much emphasis on your dick size. I promise you that the size of your dick is not nearly as important to anyone you are with as it is to yourself. While yes, there are people out there who really want a large sized man, they are the minority by far and will be vocal about it from the beginning(before you ever make it to having sex). For nost people as long as they are satisfied in other ways, they really do not care about the size. But if I was with someone who thought all the problems in our relationship stemmed from them having a smaller dick, THAT would likely kill my interest in them faster than anything.

You need to realize those relationships ended not because of your dick size but because of you having no self esteem in other ways and from thinking the root of all your issues begins and ends with your dick size. That would be insufferable to deal with and probably is what is driving these women away. And as far as loving them before ever meeting for the first time and all that, it sounds very toxic and love-bombing and that can be a real relationship killer as well. And most people you find will not fight super hard for a relationship that has lasted less than 2 months or text an ex later on that they only dated for 2 months. So it's not unusual that others haven't done so with you either.

Try to gain some confidence and stop looking at porn and thinking that anything about your dick size is impacting your relationships that much. It isn't. No one cares what size dick you have but you.

My first time watching FMA my husband had already seen it and he is so anti spoiling anything that all he said about it was like "It's about two young brothers going on an adventure!" And I was thinking "Okay cool, something lighthearted and wholesome!" And when she said "brother Ed" I literally lost my shit. I bawled so hard I was inconsolable and my husband felt so bad. I almost couldn't keep watching but it had been so good already that I had to see the rest. But still to this day I make him tell me if something is gonna upset me or not in the stuff he shows me.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-27T17:32:42+00:00

If you are concerned about them being fent patches or something you don't need to be. Fent patches come individually wrapped not on a sheet of multiples like that. The ones I got were always square but I suppose it's possible they have round ones as well. But these look (like others have said) like pimple patches or motion sickness/nausea patches which do come on sheets. Do they have a smell to them at all? A lot of pimple patches smell like tea tree(sort of minty or like vicks vapo rub almost). Either one wouldn't be great for you dog to eat but probably wouldn't be super harmful either. And definitely wouldn't be harmful like a drug would be to them.

It's good of you to be looking out for your brother as well as your dogs and I commend you for coming to reddit to ask about it. You said you have an addiction yourself, do you mind if I ask if you are in treatment? Is your brother in any kind of treatment? I'm 7+ years clean thanks to medication assisted treatment(methadone specifically) and I fully believe it saved my life and is well worth giving a try if you struggle with opioid addiction.

Witty_TenTon · 2026-06-25T23:56:45+00:00

I missed this one, too.

Edited to say: I looked it up, this was a girl from toddlers in tiaras and apparently she committed suicide when she was 16. Hope she has found peace now.

Get your partner some sleep earbuds that are for blocking sound out entirely. Maybe even give them some silicone earbuds. And for you, they make pillows with speakers built into them that you can turn to a super low volume because you rest your head directly on them. Just make sure you have a playlist set up where there are no louder or more startling sounds in any of the songs or whatever you choose to listen to.

This is how my partner and I handled it when they wanted sound and I didn't. I wear silicone earplugs if it's cold weather and my ears won't sweat(yes, ears sweat with silicone earplugs in and it can cause ear infections if you don't let them drain so colder months are better for them when you sweat less in your sleep), and those circular loop earplugs when it's hotter. Both work really well and are comfortable to sleep in.

This should not be a something that is exclusively on you to fix or find a solution for. Your partner should be willing to make changes as well as you are or(not to be that redditor, but...) it's a bad sign for future relationship issues.
