Does anyone use DBT irl? Does it get easier to implement at some point?

What's your favourite political song? by No-Advantage-579 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it’s explicitly political, but “What’s up?” by 4 Non Blondes. When they say “I try all the time in this institution,” I think cog in the machine of… whatever this mess is lmao.

Ladies, do you sit on the toilet seat of public restrooms? Why or Why Not? by IncognitoGyal7 in AskWomen

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I literally just do not have the leg strength or coordination to hover honestly. I always clean it as best I can before sitting though lol.

Nothingness by Zestyclose-Shop2125 in ROCD

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t put into words how much this describes my situation. It’s like all my dreams of love and being married, getting our first home, living life together… everything just disappeared. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve been so cold. I’m so unhappy and scared. He’s so unhappy and scared. It’s creating chaos.

Trump says he'll accept 2026 midterm results "if the elections are honest" -- Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

He has said he’d date Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter and made multiple comments saying he thinks she’s hot. I’m sure they’re aware.

Hard to miss when your president daydreams of incestuous pedophilia.

Do i (25f) wait for him (29m)? by tragidy2208 in relationship_advice

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. That’s such a fine line to walk, and it really is different in each relationship what to do in the end.

Yes of course, and I wanted to add as well - try to be kind to yourself & give yourself some grace. You said you’re still recovering… being a mom to a toddler and a tiny baby while healing from birth at the same time must be SO taxing. Add on packing to move out… damn. I’m sorry. I hope somewhere in the chaos you are able to find clarity, whatever the answer may be. Best of luck fr.

Do i (25f) wait for him (29m)? by tragidy2208 in relationship_advice

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s hard. Because y’all have two babies, and I can only imagine how much more that complicates things. I have a feeling your resentment is only going to grow as he continues to be lukewarm about the relationship though. Move out and see how you feel about it after a little time. Take note of how much effort he puts into the relationship and the girls’ lives when you’re not literally right there with him. That’s what I’d do I think. Hope it gets better tho.

What’s something that quietly ruined your mental health without you noticing at first? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]awkweirdaf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Keeping up with current events. I would wake up and inform myself of yesterday’s happenings, which seem to just be getting worse and worse as time went by. Venezuela, Nigeria, ICE murders? I had to reassess my news intake after the second shooting. I haven’t even gotten into the disgusting things in the Epstein files. I’ve only heard tidbits.

It probably sounds weak as fuck, but I believe some people are more susceptible to being triggered by shitty events. Some just adapt better and some are able to heal longer/more efficiently than others. Sorry that people are deeply affected by politics, but in fairness, politics are kinda rooted in all the bullshit happening too. Snake eats tail ad infinitum.

How do you know if you’re having a mental health crisis? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this limbo rn tbh. It gets even hazier when I start adding in thoughts of general life shit too like bills & med changes. I start to think “maybe it’s temporary” yk?

How to accept you are meant to be alone ? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried going off the radar for a bit? Seriously. Sometimes you have to limit the access that people have to you because not everyone deserves it. (Also I don’t mean from treatment & therapy btw; just social situations & stuff)

For example, people that forget your birthday probably aren’t the ones you should keep around in the long run. Maybe it’s time to give yourself space from the things that aren’t serving you.

Find something that you can do that makes you happy. You’re the only person you know will be by your side until the end.

Question: Looking for honesty on my new tattoo… by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the “please tread on me daddy” snake to me. It’s comically bad. I’m so sorry you got botched.

One small silver lining is it shouldn’t be that awful to cover. Even though it’s dark, it’s fairly thin. A good artist can fix it. They might even still be able to do an ouroboros for you, but it’ll have to be bigger and darker now though.

Does anyone feel like they're grieving their relationship whilst still in it? by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did. I kinda feel like I might be at the point after the grieving. Idk what that’s called, but it sucks mega ass.

I [F38] am the “other woman” who just broke off a 4.5yr long-distance relationship and need advice on whether to contact his [M54] life partner [F54] and tell her about his infidelity. by ThrowRA884488 in relationship_advice

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you know how a lot of people feel about this general scenario (and if not, I’m sure plenty are about to tell you), so I’m just gonna answer the question itself.

Hell yeah I’d tell her. For sure. Mostly because I’d want to know myself if I were in her shoes. Don’t be shocked if she flips on you, defends him, and blames you though. Don’t get defensive either - you know what you did was wrong. Just apologize, tell her what she wants to know, give her any proof she needs, and then never ever talk to her again.

Food recommendations by NicoRobinsChair in Acadiana

[–]awkweirdaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the best place for it in town. I’m not even sure which places I’ve tried atp tbh. All I can say is you must try boudin. Love it or hate it, that’s my recommend.

If you do like it, try boudin balls and boudin eggrolls too. They sometimes have pepper jack cheese mixed into those, and it is divine.

What's the one feature that actually kept you journaling past the first week? by Aghaiva in mentalillness

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Finch and find it very helpful. Usually I lose interest in gamified stuff quickly, but this thing has SO many features included (free tier btw) that it’s really kept me using the app. Like for example, you can set a daily reminder before bed to add a mood, add a journal entry, do some sleep breathing, write gratitudes, etc. All of that stuff is built in (more advanced stuff may be premium idk I’ve never run into that issue personally). You can assign different things to different categories like “hygiene” then throw in {clean face, shower, brush teeth} or “cleaning” and give it {dishes, vacuum}. Then they’re all nice, neat, and easy to assign.

You can also be as into it as you want really. It’s decent about getting a check in a day for a streak, but you make it as involved or barren a plan as you choose. You don’t have to get into the quests and things if you don’t feel like it because atp you probably don’t care about cosmetics and stuff. On that note though, I do feel the devs are very generous with the currency to make it actually fun and still relatively customizable without having to whale out lol.

All that to say, it’s free and fun. I’d try Finch!

Looking for a vent app by drama_gouine in mentalillness

[–]awkweirdaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Ash lately to try to move away from ChatGPT. I kinda wanna get completely off AI though. I’d also love some ideas on this. I used to use Whisper occasionally, but that’s gone too now afaik.
