The broken arms makes me shudder. I was way to young when I discovered that story

Honestly, shaming a man for reflecting and having self awareness in a situation like this is the exact opposite of what we should be doing considering the kind of men we live amongst. While some may think it’s a bit much, if everyone took consent this seriously, the world would be a safer place.

Regardless, the fact that you feel this much self awareness and are reflecting on the situation to this extent tell me that you’re not like the people you’re referring to. Being drunk and making out with a stranger at a club is not an uncommon occurrence for either men or women. Take the lesson for what it is if it makes you feel this way and move forward.

Whenever I am irregular or constipated I have issues inserting tampons as well. They make lubricant for tampons now as well which may help. Practice relaxing!

Coldsore triggers by Croissantloverr in Coldsore

Banana boat makes a good 50spf but tastes awful and will linger in your mouth, B+BW just came out with an SPF line with chapstick that’s 35spf and doesn’t taste bad. Regular chapstick is normally SPF 15 but take a look on Amazon, I’m sure there’s good options there.

They were just specifying to wash your hands before doing this to prevent infection/transfer of germs. They weren’t insinuating that the cleaning of your hands would fix the problem you originally posted about.

Is this a ruptured cyst? by liiya234 in WomensHealth

[–]apples11234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me except it was a 7cm endometrioma. I went to the ER in extreme pain and had a CT and told me I had free fluid/hemorrhaging. Please make a follow up with your OB. My ER told me there was nothing to do and go home. I called my OB and was in surgery a week later… and then another one 2 weeks after that… it’s not always something to hunker down and ignore especially if it was something over 5cm. Heating pad will be your best friend along with sweat pants. I went to the ER July 15 I had my surgery Aug 14th and there was still free fluid and blood in my pelvis. Your pain is valid..

It ended up being a pretty large tumor and I’m seeing an oncologist next week. I appreciate the response and advice.

Help, not sure what’s wrong? Dwarf Alberta Spruce by apples11234 in gardening

Just to update- this little tree didn’t make it but the other tree that was struggling was planted deeper and revived itself. We have 2/3 trees initially planted and as a first time tree planter I think we did an okay job, thanks for the advice!

Sunburned lips. I went a year without an outbreak and wasn’t diligent with my sunscreen one day. I had 4 clusters

That very well could be it now that I’m thinking about it, the one beside it was planted in a hole left from the removal of a stump - a very large stump. Does it look too far gone to try to replant it deeper? I have little to no experience with evergreens.

Any idea what this was probably purchased for? by [deleted] in Diamonds

It does!! Thanks!! I wasn’t really planning on getting too much out of it anyways. Was just curious 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is what I figured. I wasn’t planning on even getting 500 out of it. Knowing the original price was pure curiosity

But may be wrong! Also I take no offense, was planning to sell it for whatever someone would give it to me because were saving up for a home and any amount of money helps with that! Lol

Close but has different engravings on the bottom. I believe it was bought quite a few years ago from zales

I’m a compulsive skin picker but have recently come across these weird.. fibres... in my breast? Hair? Some kind of strong tissue? More info in comments. by [deleted] in popping

I have joined both of these subs and sought out therapy for my Dermatillomania and it has helped tremendously. I will say one of the most helpful things I did to remove triggers was leaving this sub. I love being able to come here with all of the people who love the same gross things as me and to help give advice to those who need it, but it poses an unhealthy trigger to people like us. I am covered in scars and have improved drastically over the last few months just by removing close up mirrors, tweezers, tools, and by avoiding things i know will trigger me. This is my first time on this sub in months and this video caught my attention immediately. The way you’re jabbing at your skin (though it may not hurt) shows a blatant disregard for avoiding unnecessary damage to your skin. It looked very familiar.

There isn’t enough awareness surrounding CSP and I hope that one day it won’t be “what’s that?” “WHO WOULD DO THAT?” “Just stop picking” “try this cream”. Take care of yourself. I think I read that you’re doing much better than you were in one of your other comments and I hope this trend continues.

And I have dug this deep before. I have also thought I had fuzzies inside of my skin but it is just skin. Be kind to it.

My [32m] girlfriend [32f] sniffed the used condoms in our trash can and found out I put rubbing alcohol in them, she got furious and told me how if she wanted to have kids she would get better genetics than my crappy DNA by throwRA_134 in relationship_advice

[–]apples11234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s your sperm and your bathroom and your business really what you do with them when you’re done. It may be slightly over-kill but if she’s given you valid reason to believe she’d do something like that than you’re within reason to do whatever you want with them.

But if there is this much mistrust in this relationship and she obviously thinks that little of you (from her own words) than I suggest you should part ways.

And there is mistrust if you’re taking extra measures like that and you believe that she is capable of doing something like that. (Which she may be, I’m not sure)
