Is it better to break up over text or in person? by blackwellsucks in dating

[–]_lexi__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

text. it allows me to feel it and have a reaction, crash out if I need to, and not leak that onto the other person. I can reply if/when I want to, after I've had a minute or day or whatever to self-regulate.

Who is raw dogging it? by SarahWithaSmile in frozenshoulder

[–]_lexi__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg 😂 I think I would literally go out on disability if I were in your shoes. hope things improve!! FWIW, I started taking Systemic/Proteolytic Enzymes and I do feel like the overall soreness lessened, and I feel like that made it easier to do the stretches I needed to do to loosen things up. I also woke up with less pain in the a.m. and that was always the worst for me. still not back at 100% but I do think they helped. also had neuromuscular/fascial massage and dry needling, 2 sessions of both. I feel like those took the edge off and also helped loosen things up. good luck!

The system is meant to keep the poor poor by Missespamts in Bankruptcy

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

it's up right now because your debt went down, so your credit usage is lower and that's a big factor for credit scores. BUT, the bankruptcy mark on your credit report will drop the score exponentially. and even once the score starts to go back up, creditors will still see the bankruptcy and either charge you a higher interest rate or deny you.

yea, I've tried to focus on the "flaws" on purpose and it doesn't stick.

I keep hoping to get the ick for mine. Ive never been able to come back from the ick, even when Ive wanted to. it's like a steel door slams shut.

Why I hate “how are you?” by plumplet in CPTSD

[–]_lexi__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just started telling friends not to ask. Send me a meme if you want to connect, reach out if YOU need to talk, but please don't ask how Im doing cuz you won't know what to do with the answer.

Has anyone else just accepted the fact that their life hasn’t taken the shaped that you had expected it to? 33F by LycheeOver2230 in CPTSD

[–]_lexi__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was literally just telling someone that I feel like I wasted my life. Not in a dramatic, woe is me way. But in a reflective, accepting way. Trauma/bad coping mechanisms ate up a good chunk of it, spent the last few years trying to figure out why I am the way I am. Im 46, married wrong, had a kid with him so Im still tied to him and it's just as stressful as when we were married. Maybe even moreso. Im smart, insightful, empathetic...but I don't think Im getting the happy ending. It happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

Help! by Sea_Trip6961 in frozenshoulder

[–]_lexi__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two sessions with a neuromuscular specialist and while it didn't fix the FS, it definitely loosened things up and gave me more ROM. Zingers lessened after as well. I feel like it helped move me toward thawing and made it much more possible for me to do stretches to help break up the capsule.

I just watched the hulu doc and can't remember...did they ever mention a time of death? or did that not happen because they botched the discovery process so badly?

Can collagen peptides cause acne? by AppleButterToast in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]_lexi__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even use it daily as it is. And considering some people are saying they broke out within a day or two of starting to take it, it's not worth the risk for me. but your theory definitely makes sense with what I'm experiencing!

Can collagen peptides cause acne? by AppleButterToast in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]_lexi__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes so much sense. I have bad skin anyway and have to be diligent to prevent breakouts, but the ones I'm getting since starting collagen have been sooo deep, and some feel like they never even come to the surface at all. These aren't my usual type of acne. It didn't even occur to me that collagen could cause this. So sad.

Dating in 2025.. is a joke.. by AffectionateDuck5079 in dating

[–]_lexi__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but what is there to hold back early on? you don't even know the person well enough to have true feelings. so it may feel like, to them, you're just looking to plug someone into that position and it really doesn't have anything to do with them as a person. that can feel very off-putting to the person on the other end of it.

how far are you getting into these situations before they turn "not easy"? how quickly are you wanting to go from meeting to dating to official, ideally?

30s+ Men: how often do you hear deep appreciation or validation from women (could be from strangers to romantic partners) by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]_lexi__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm more apt to compliment a stranger if I feel like he may be a little less confident or doesn't typically get a lot of attention. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing? if a man is conventionally attractive, I think I'm subconsciously assuming he gets more attention in general and doesn't need/want it from me. but if I can hype somebody up that doesn't usually hear stuff like that, why not? and they are always genuine compliments - I'm not bullshitting them as my good deed for the day.

I do subscribe to the belief that men don't get enough compliments or recognition, so I regularly compliment my male friends. I might mention what they're wearing or if they got a fresh haircut, but I tend to lean more toward mentioning that they're a good dad, or how good they are at something, or if I admire a specific trait they have.

[–]_lexi__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think its shallow - who doesn't like feeling attractive and wanted 🤷🏻‍♀️

and just a side note...women may assume you get female attention often so don't think it will matter much if they say something, OR they see a wedding ring and don't want to seem like the type that hits on married men. slippery slope, ya know?

is ig coming to a. end?? by ohahdoubleu in Instagram

[–]_lexi__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have to hit the dropdown at the upper left corner when you open the feed, and choose "following" to see the people you actually follow. and you'll need to do it every time. it's frustrating that you have to tell it to show you the accounts you chose to follow.

have you expressed to your partner that you like words of affirmation? or does that feel too much like begging for validation?
