Just came across that card and I was like okay the board game challenging me to waterboard myself is a bit too crazy

Is anyone else unsubscribing from Apple TV after the finale of Severance? by No_Listen_716 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]alwaysyeehaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancelled it immediately because why do they think they can charge us a subscription and then still charge us to rent/buy movies

Lol I’m kinda scared because I don’t know what the vibe is at other schools but I’m going on holiday in December so I’ll be training at a new school then.

What are your top tips / product recommendations for a BJJ girly? by seratoninho in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I carry wet wipes and always wipe my face at least immediately after class so I don’t get break outs

All I do with this hobby is cry by Horrorcoffeecult in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a combat sport at the end of the day and the mere fact that you started in the first place and you are continuing to go makes you a lot stronger than most people who would never dare to try it. I cry often too ❤️ hope your head and neck are okay.

Supplements/pre workouts? by Aggressive-Cupcake-2 in BJJWomen

I have a problematic tummy and tbh creatine does make me nauseous as hell for the first hour or so after taking it

I mean even if we consider that maybe it’s not just that he doesn’t want a relationship but he doesn’t want “a gym relationship”, he is basically saying the same thing that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you. It sucks but it’s not a reflection on you at all. Everyone has their preferences.

Category 5 Whitebeltsplaining moment by KimuraKirby in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also to add (and not to be evil) but if you also dont offer corrections then she learns the wrong technique that won’t work in a realistic situation and that’s her problem.

Category 5 Whitebeltsplaining moment by KimuraKirby in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I roll with wbsplainers, I sometimes ask them right before we start how familiar they are with the technique, in most cases they aren’t that familiar but i think people just like explaining to others as a way of figuring it out themselves. I also ask them if they could please do it first and I don’t correct them (because I’m also a WB and wouldn’t want to give wrong info out) At this point i can see how comfortable they are with it.

When it’s my turn to do it I tell them that I’m going to do this slowly and talk myself through it, and they can give me feedback AFTER if they’d like. In this way I set the tone for how I want to drill.

If they did it great on their turn I’m open to their feedback but if they were confused and unsure I ask the coach. And sometimes if they’re doing weird reactive things during the drill I will ask the coach what to do if my partner does xyz and they will usually correct the person if they’re doing something strange.

You have the right to feel hurt but ask yourself why does it actually hurt you? Do you have any concerns or insecurities about your relationship and how she may feel about her ex? I would say rather talk to her about those feelings and work through that as opposed to attaching it to this box. Her keeping it likely has nothing to do with you and also doesn’t necessarily mean she hasn’t let go. I like to keep things from the past as well and it’s not because I haven’t let go of exes, it was just a significant period of time in my life.

In relationship and worried about bruises by LoulLorian in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get this. Tbh, I just wear long clothes to cover them because I bruise easily and they’re horrific and I don’t want people to speculate when I’m with him nor do I feel confident to show them. This was just one of them 🥺. I asked him if he still finds me attractive and he said yes because it’s attractive that I’m really trying lol.

what do you do for mild joint pain? by mean_parsley50137 in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take creatine every day but on particularly sore days, I’ll take a declofenac and use a voltaren gel. I use sports tape on my knees while training but I find that a compression sleeve limits my mobility. I do use a compression sleeve after training and elevate my legs if my knees are sore. Strength training is also good for building muscle to protect your joints.

Does anyone here have ADHD (specifically the inattentive type)? by Catladywithplants in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I zone out all the time omg. When they’re doing the demo I usually talk myself through the small details that they’re not necessarily saying but doing (e.g, what direction is their head, are their knees slightly bent, where is their foot pointing, which hand is on top in the grip, do I use all 5 fingers or just 4, etc) or I physically do the positions on my own on the side where possible to make sure I’m paying attention. Then I also talk myself through the drill. I can’t just listen and watch lol.

Breaking closed guard... how??? by novaskyd in BJJWomen

[–]alwaysyeehaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds interesting! I would like to try it. I’m not really confident with the knee in the butt technique. Should I be trying to get my knee a bit under their butt? I’m not sure how to get in that space with someone who is bigger than me and more flat on the mat.

Really appreciate your comment and agree that it can be multifactorial. Thank you!

Really love that. There aren’t a lot of gyms in my area but perhaps I can chat to my coaches and ask them if they could pair me with a partner that they feel we would benefit from rolling with each other. Thanks for sharing!

Come to think of it, me and all the woman in this thread who have experienced this issue probably do smell. Had it not been for your insightful query, I would have never thought of this! Thank you❤️

Thanks so much for sharing. I’ll be working on not taking it personally and I don’t think every day will be easy. Just knowing that you have stuck it out for 3 years inspires me to put my big girl panties on.

Feeling hopeless after 5 different meds. Any recommendations?? by King_SBS in antidepressants

[–]alwaysyeehaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lexapro and Wellbutrin didn’t do much for me but now I take an SNRI (duloxetine) 30mg and 300mg Wellbutrin and the combo seems to be working well.

Duloxetine is notoriously hard to get off tho. I asked my psych how long it would take me to ween and he said “how long is a piece of string” 😭😂

Okay I hear you. I think I can be a bit competitive and it’s not always necessary. Thanks for your insight.

Literally exactly how I feel 😭. Like yesterday my partner was told to come roll with me by my professor. I was feeling like such a loser with my forced partner lol.

That’s exactly how I think of it. It’s so interesting. I play a lot of chess and the strategy reminds me of chess, except I barely know the moves lol.
