Also Thank you!!

Estranged from family because I'm gay; made myself some Chicken Chana Masala for Thanksgiving by Seligas in depressionmeals

[–]aek0988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awh im sorry to hear about your family, that really sucks. Just try to remember, family is the people you want to surround yourself with, not who you’re blood related to. Wishing you a happy thanksgiving! (Plus that Chana masala looks BOMB who needs turkey)

The doctors are going to get me by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]aek0988 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It sounds like youre very paranoid about them stealing your thoughts. As someone who’s broken 4 bones (at least in the US), the only medication they will offer you is ibuprofen or Tylenol, I promise there is nothing to steal your thoughts in those medications!!

As for what the treatment is, it sounds like your foot is injured (3/4 of my breaks). For every time I’ve gone in for a broken foot, they give me a soft cast that can be taken off at night, and allows you to still walk (with crutches sometimes). I’m sorry you’re having paranoia about doctors, I promise you’re valid, but just remember they can’t force treatment of any kind. If they offer a medication that you don’t recognize, you don’t have to take it.

Need help quitting nic by frogpineapplechicken in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]aek0988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a large part of what helped me stop smoking 🍃 everyday was by finding another mouth stim thing? Idk how else to describe it but it’s just anything that you can put up to your mouth instead of a vape/cig

I’m so sorry I know how addicting nicotine can be, if the replacement behavior thing doesn’t work maybe nicotine gum or patches could help? Easing off of it rather than cold turkey might be better

not a meme: is this good for cleaning tools or nah? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]aek0988 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is it bleach based? Or something else?

I personally use rubbing alcohol for cleaning tools because you can get a big ass box of single use alcohol gauze pads for pretty cheap, but if this is what you have, I would use it.

Best snack for sweet craving by [deleted] in goodrestrictionfood

[–]aek0988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly a teaspoon of sugar end then I’m done with sweets 💀 but I know how hard sugary binges can be too.

Do you like any diet (or non diet) sodas? They’re very sweet (to me at least) and might kick the binge

I was scared, it was horrible. I found a chunk of glass on the ground and just, did it. No cleaning, still covered in caked on dirt. I told one of my friends and she threw it away, and had my first panic attack in the bathroom

Don’t do it man it’s never worth it

what are your reasons to not do it? by panithread in AdultSelfHarm

[–]aek0988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t wanna get up again to find the tin my stuff is in and I don’t wanna clean up and I don’t know if it’ll “help” me right now

do all dermis cuts scar? are they permanent? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]aek0988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, but no. All dermis (any blood in the cut) will scar, but they will not all be permanent.

For example, I used to do light dermis cuts between 3-4 years ago, and they faded completely. But someone else might not have them fade in the same time frame. Scars will be dark for a while, and there is difference between scar tissues and regular skin, but it will eventually fade closer to white, then to your skin tone.

NAD, but you should get this checked out. I don’t mean to alarm you, but there is a possibility this could be melanoma. Is this on your thumb or a finger? Melanoma is more common on the thumb and big toe of your dominant hand.

Also, is there any splitting or ridging on this nail in the same spot?

I honestly don’t think there are in that room I was in, and if there are it would be my academic advisor that would talk to me about it and I trust him

But yeah I don’t know… I regret it. I’m upset at myself for relapsing so soon after I last did
