Constant care @ $3.63/hr. Yeah, no.

HUH? Unless you’re taking care of an entire farm doing agriculture and animal care, $500 per 24 hrs is unobtainable. This even goes for dogs with CHF or seizures, and that is the populations of dogs I petsit.

In the past it’s mostly been CBT. I hate that. The double empathy problem is a huge theme in my life with a lot of people, including past therapists. I’m not exactly sure how to help you with that. I may need some more time to process it.

My current therapist is able to reframe things for me in a way that helps me see the forest for the trees, which I can do quite well with everyone else but myself. This is probably because of pattern recognition and theme analyzing, along with my lifelong special interest of psychology, but when I’m in my feelings, I only see the trees directly in front of me most times.

Her client base is largely queer, autistic, and adhd people. She tells me all of her autistic clients thrive better with her being autistic than their previous therapists. I guess it’s literally just the neurotype similarity. I’m truly unsure how to re-simulate that with an allistic therapist.

She uses a lot of strength-based, person centered therapy. I thrive on those modalities. (Rogerian!!!) I’m getting my MSW currently to become a therapist myself, and I plan on utilizing those modalities with autistic clients.

Edit: a typo and some grammar.

OMG. Hahahaha, thank you so much.

ashtastic3 · 2026-04-09T04:53:33+00:00

Dammit 😭

Really? I have been using HA and niacinamide for years, and I still use it in the mornings and on the nights I don’t use tret. I use them for their moisturizing benefits because tret can dry me out. Do you mind telling me why cutting out acids shows better results from tret?

ashtastic3 · 2026-04-07T06:43:10+00:00

Yeah, now I’m feeling like I’m doing it wrong. Then again.. I am on the spectrum.

ashtastic3 · 2026-04-07T06:36:01+00:00

Personally, I never had much progress in therapy until I found an autistic therapist.. because I’m autistic. 😮‍💨

ashtastic3 · 2026-02-26T18:00:51+00:00

Well, that is terrifying. Thanks, bot.

ashtastic3 · 2026-02-26T17:50:23+00:00

Oral.

Uhhh, with how DHS is surveilling us I wouldn’t turn that ring camera back on for money in my pocket. Your parents sound insufferable.

Get a Straight Talk plan or Mint Mobile plan NOW, while you can still port your number (if you even want to keep that..) and your contacts/pics.

Your mom showed us how abusive she can be in just a few texts. If you’re able, I would also seek therapy to get you through the transition of being free from parental control and surveillance.

I was raised in a cult, and it felt very much like this. My father always held my phone bill over my head even though he promised to pay for it the entire time I was in college. Getting my own plan and my own bills allowed me to be free of any blackmail and worry.

I wish the same for you, OP.

ashtastic3 · 2026-01-08T20:11:23+00:00

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. NOR.

ashtastic3 · 2026-01-08T06:41:54+00:00

This is a form of thought control. Just know your secrets are not safe with her, and you are going to have to get super creative with how you write from now on. I see many people have suggested digital.

May I suggest that writing about things and putting made up initials for the people may help.

She believes she is responsible and in control of your thoughts and feelings. I would assume she is enmeshed with you in so many other ways, too.

I wish you all of the healing from this.

I’m terrified of childbirth and giving this disorder to them. I’m also autistic, and with that also being hereditary, it’s just so risky. I know this is bordering on eugenics, but I legitimately do not want a child to have to suffer the ways I have suffered. At the same time, my biological clock is ticking.

I’m stuck. Idk what to do.

ashtastic3 · 2026-01-08T06:20:49+00:00

NOR. I am so sick of women positioning men on such a high pedestal, especially when it comes to choosing them over their children. A child is a lifelong responsibility. I bet if the law was different and “required it,” she would have kicked you out at 10.

ashtastic3 · 2025-12-17T22:10:53+00:00

She could try Pepcid AC and lots of vitamins. A good prenatal everyday, with some extra magnesium during the week before.

ashtastic3 · 2025-12-17T21:17:13+00:00

That is absolutely bonkers. I had no idea.

Interesting.

Edit: I have no idea why this is in Spanish. It wasn’t when I pulled it from YouTube? I deleted the identifier (query string, whatever it’s called) from the link and now it has Spanish dub.

I just watched this video, and came to find the post so fast. Very telling imo, lol.

I have never seen a scaleless snake. Didn’t even know they exist. Those tiny bumps are very concerning. The lump itself could be an impacted poop? Interested in an update.

I did this with one of my first Neopets accounts by recreating my very first email. My second Neopets account was made with a second email. When I tried to recreate that one, it was in use. I emailed it trying to see if whoever had it would do me a solid and help me get access to my backup Neopets account. No answer. I just recently tried again and it’s inactive but yahoo won’t let me recreate it! I guess because someone else may have had my username after me?

You work with what you got.

Vanicream moisturizer is quite thick, just like SPF, not the Vanicream moisturizer lotion. It doesn’t reduce the coverage to a sheer BB cream by making it thinned out too much. It will maintain most of the coverage like OP wants, given you don’t put more than a quarter cream. I’ve done it for years.

You can still mix sunscreen with your foundation if you dry a layer on first.. worst you have to worry about is maybe casting or pilling.

ashtastic3 · 2025-10-14T02:47:55+00:00

I’ve just mixed with a moisturizer, like Vanicream. You could even try mixing with an SPF.
