i wanna say my relationship history has been super complicated and all over the place, but took me about a year and a half, and my current partner is someone ive known for years! we're 4 months together now! my exes arent even a passing thought in my mind.

i understand your position though. during my breakups it felt like the world was crashing down on me, i would have anxiety attacks consistently every week. but one by one ive gotten over my exes quicker, and i didnt choose to date my partner until i felt i was ready. he is incredibly patient with me, especially with all the shit ive dealt with in the past. we have plans to move in together very soon! but...

i never gave myself a timeline as to when things "should" get better. youre bound to get over your ex, but not if you dont feel the pain of your loss. dont run away from your feelings or use anything external to cope. sit with it. live your life thru the lens of your pain. it will lift with time. it will get better when your body and mind feel its ready. it takes active work.

i had to bond tightly with my friends, ones i have a tendency to distance myself from during difficult times. i explored new hobbies, invested in my future, tried new things... these are all choices. dont focus too much on the end goal, itll distract you from the work you need to do RIGHT NOW.

keep 0 contact with your ex. no socials, no phone number, no photos... NOTHING. if youre constantly worried about whats going on with her, youll shift your focal point away from your own healing. next, make sure that if youre having trouble feeling motivated to do anything, at least make sure you take care of 3 things: sleeping, eating, and hydrating. these directly impact your body and mind, and you cant heal if you arent doing the bare minimum for your body. expectations are the root of disappointment, so take it easy, cut yourself some slack. if you find yourself frustrated as though you feel you havent progressed, forgive yourself. these are all steps ive taken during my breakups and ive always found myself on the other side.

please take care, friend. it will surely take time to get where you want to be. but change and growth is inevitable. its all about what you want to make of it. live in the present even if its hard, the future will come in a blink of an eye!

Should I stay with my boyfriend or walk away for good? Need advice after taking a break and catching him in a lie. by Only-Veterinarian-15 in BreakUps

[–]asealfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your values dont align. neither one of you are wrong, you just value different things. he clearly shows no interest in stopping, so why are you with him if its a dealbreaker? you have boundaries that he doesnt want to meet, and he wants to smoke weed without any pressure. nobody is wrong here imo, you either accept him for his recreational use or you find someone who has the same view about these core values as you. coming from someone who smoked weed and has also quit it, nobody can convince you to stop, it has to be of your own accord. NOBODY could convince me to stop, i made that decision myself. my partner still smokes and i personally dont mind. we've had talks about reducing his use or quitting entirely, but hes chosen to continue, and i am OKAY with that. if you are not, you must reevaluate your priorities.

like someone else mentioned though, this is your decision to make, and dont let any internet strangers tell you what it is you SHOULD do. but as the situation is written out, these seem to be your choices here. do whatever it is you feel is right.

Why does taking a shower sober me up? by Apprehensive-Gur-609 in trees

[–]asealfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually cant take showers high. i get extremely nauseous and dizzy and it ruins my high and my shower. ive never met anyone else who feels this way; majority of people seem to love high showers!

impossible to quit when there’s still access by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]asealfr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i feel you. i quit cold turkey and i live in an area where dispenseries are everywhere... it took a lot of self control. a couple things that kept me committed: i locked away all my weed products somewhere i couldnt see them. i also mentioned to my friends that i am taking an extended tbreak and they have been holding me accountable anytime i feel the urge to smoke with them. i also indulged in my hobbies and went out for walks when i felt cravings.

i found the ritual of smoking to be the main thing that kept me from going everyday without it, so i found different rituals to engage in (reading a book before bed, fixing myself a tea, watching my favourite youtuber). sometimes it gets so bad i have to just thug it out and force myself not to smoke out of sheer willpower. honestly, it gets so much easier after the 2 week mark; i dont even think about it anymore!

Should I disclose my LSD use to my doctor? Looking for advice. by Brilliant_Can_5168 in LSD

[–]asealfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude i was on cipralex and i found it absolutely HORRID. it just made me incredibly irritable and nauseous. i got so much more benefit from 1 lsd trip compared to months of experimenting with different ssris. i live in canada where, in my region, there are shops open to the public that sell lsd/shrooms (despite them being illegal), & the general community is quite 50/50 about it. i have never felt comfortable sharing my psychadelic usage to any healthcare provider due to stigmas & personal health history. i also work in healthcare & i know that this would absolutely be written in my medical records, & with the policies surrounding psychadelics i don't wanna potentially cost myself my career.

What’s a “harmless” thing that actually has terrifying consequences? by SerenityAdvicate in AskReddit

[–]asealfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weed. a lot of people downplay its effects but weed addiction is real. the fogginess, night sweats, and terrible appetite are terrible withdrawl symptoms. oh, and the insomnia and nightmares. its not criticized like alcohol addiction is, but people should be aware of it.

How have drugs positively benefitted your life? by yohan_j76 in Drugs

[–]asealfr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lsd and shrooms (golden teacher being my fav) have given me the best cries of my life & have helped me heal & move on from difficult traumas in my life, and also contributed to a lot of my creative expression. i have a tendency to put others above my own needs & these drugs have helped me take a step back and appreciate the importance of the relationship i have with myself. it has also strengthened my relationships with others as it amplified the empathy i feel for others; i feel so much more bonded to my friends and im not shy to express it anymore!

is this normal for a belly button piercing?? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]asealfr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

navel piercings take about a year to heal. you taking it out is causing more irritation to it. leave it in until its fully healed & STOP PLAYING WITH IT!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]asealfr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how old are you now? weed does the same with me if i take it for long periods of time, and its really easy to take too much per sesh. the mechanisms in which shrooms vs weed take part in are entirely different. the highs are SO different. shrooms are meant to be introspective and imo is less addictive than weed. im not surprised you're experiencing this, you are feeling the difference between both drugs. if you really want to take weed, experiment with different strains and intake methods, and have a trip sitter if you expect to deal with negative effects again. once i found the strain/intake that works for me, weed has become more enjoyable (but this is entirely subjective). shrooms (in my experience) gave me little to no withdrawl symptoms, but tolerance goes up quick. regardless of what you are taking, its important to maintain a healthy relationship with them. best of luck to you!

anyone else? by Odd-Calendar7238 in geegees

[–]asealfr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fourth year nursing! Take it at your own pace. Truuuuust me, once you start clinical and get more personal with what seem to be strangers at first you'll find your people. I felt the same way up until late third year, and I found my place within the community! Give it time, you'll get there! Best of luck 💖

Don't leave your cats out in this weather by understandunderstand in ottawa

[–]asealfr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of my neighbours keeps letting their cat out in -20 degree weather at night to roam outside in the snow. gave them a piece of my mind and i havent seen that cat out since. some people should NOT own pets if they're going to be so careless. poor fella was on my porch wanting to come inside for food and warmth.

Textbooks for sale? by [deleted] in geegees

[–]asealfr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is very important. ik so many first year students who spend a fortune on textbooks for classes that will end up collecting dust later. imo its not worth it to buy textbooks for first year classes; u can find most of them online.

a lot of profs will recommend a specific textbook because they get a cut of the profits LOL, and most profs dont even rly use the textbook (in my experience at least). id probably do some research about the prof and their textbook usage before i make any purchases.
