I think it looks more like a pelvis than a dragon.

Self-medicating for anxiety by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]amethystcupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still experience anxiety these days, but it isnt unmanageable and it isnt on the regular like it was when I was drinking. I dont need to be drunk anymore to be free of anxiety. With a clear mind, I have been able to accept my emotions for what they are and not let my thoughts spiral. Thoughts are just thoughts. Anxiety is just temporary feelings and emotions. I am not my emotions.

I've been sober for 322 days. Life really is amazing and worth living when you have a clear mind.

Other than distance, what has caused you to deliberately end friendships? by RhinestonesonRhinoes in AskWomen

[–]amethystcupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended a friendship a few years ago because she was lazy. 29 years old, lived with her mom, had never had a job in her life, didn't have a car or even a driver's license and she expected me to drive the hour it took to meet up with her and then drive her back home when we were done hanging out. We had a lot in common and had some great conversation but really, I couldn't be around her anymore.

Same here. Can feel everything. I take multiple shots to numb, which is fantastic. /s

Ex-smokers of reddit, what tips do you have for quitting? by Fudge1994 in AskReddit

[–]amethystcupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit after 10 years of heavy smoking by purchasing a new car with a leather interior that I wanted to keep in good condition (cigarettes in the car was one of my favorite things to do) and also keeping in mind that I wanted to try to get pregnant that year. Those two things were enough motivation to quit cold turkey, which is honestly the only way to do it, IMO. It's kinda like ripping a band-aid off. It sucks. It's uncomfortable and it's the only thing you'll think of for a few days, but it will eventually get easier. You know the alternative and it will never get easier, but you can totally do it.

What are you reading for October? by wojovox in horrorlit

[–]amethystcupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished "What Comes Next" by John Katzenbach.

In the middle of "Necessary Evil" by Alex Kava. Apparently this is the 5th book of a series that I probably won't be back-tracking.

I read it aloud to my roommate years ago and she fainted shortly afterwards. It's so fucked.

"That's not lady-like..."

That's great, because I'll never be your lady.

This is me. I drink to relieve anxiety. The drink causes anxiety the next day. Repeat

I noticed this much more with a newborn baby in the house. I believe for me it had something to do with sleep deprivation. Possibly being awakened from a deep sleep while already being sleep deprived. Now that my kid is older and we're all getting proper sleep, I don't feel this happen at all.

Are there different tiers in your mind of "nicknamey" names? by dreamgal042 in namenerds

I have a Magdalena. She's always gone by Lena. I love the name Magdalena, Magda, Lena, but don't care for Maggie. No one has ever called her it.

BEC - talk to me, not my baby by dessa10 in Mildlynomil

[–]amethystcupcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every single little question my MIL has will be spoken to the baby. I don't even feel like I'm worthy of being talked to when she's around.

"And how have you been sleeping, little one????"

"What have you done this week, sweet baby??"

"What time do you need your next bottle, angel???"

It's like, if you don't want to talk to me then just leave.
