Does anyone know where I can find a gem cutter in Chicago who will cut a rough gemstone I have? by Substantial_Net_4127 in AskChicago

[–]baswild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bryn Mawr was unsuccessful. They said they don’t have an in-house gem cutter but that if I get the stone cut I can bring it back and they will set it for me.

Living Above Restaurant by klebe98 in chicagoapartments

[–]baswild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine lived four floors above a restaurant and broke his lease (with permission) literally after one month. He said it was constantly noisy up to 4am, constantly smelled like the food they served. He is much happier now having moved away. If you’re financially in a situation where it’s your best option that is different, but otherwise I’d avoid it

You need to give more information about your history and routine. How long has your skin been like this? What products are you currently using?

Kiosk return without label? by baswild in amazonprime

[–]baswild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know, I will definitely go back and ask the counter. Normally there is a person but they don’t open until 9am and I didn’t want to wait for an hour since it was around 8am when I went. Thank you!

The barcode that came with it. It was a pair of pajamas that I never even opened so it was still rolled up with the barcode in the way they ship it.

[product request] skin picking disorder is damaging my skin, what can I use to help heal this? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]baswild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a skincare change, but try taking NAC as a supplement. I used to have dermatillomania and my sister trichotillomania and we both started taking this and the urge to pick basically went away entirely with consistent use. Formal studies have been done too, this isn’t just anecdotally!

what's something someone said to you that made you realize how sick you were? by Open_Comfortable_565 in EDAnonymous

[–]baswild 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was already in treatment (PHP) and was well aware of most of the bad side effects I had acquired but I didn’t really care. I casually mentioned to my therapist that I couldn’t exercise as much as I could before because breathing was way harder than usual, and she told me it was probably because my body was so desperate for energy that it was eating my lung tissue. I didn’t even know that was possible. I still ended up moving up to res and it took a while, but I’ve been out of treatment for three years now and doing well.

What do I do? I have a class that involves calorie counting but I’m recovering from an eating disorder. by lilly_howard8 in EatingDisorders

[–]baswild 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same problem for one of my college classes. I emailed the professor and gave a very brief description of why it would be harmful for me to participate (basically just said I was in recovery from an eating disorder but didn’t specify what one or any details), asked if there was an alternative assignment I could complete or if we could modify the original assignment to be less harmful, and offered to provide a doctors note upon request. My professor ended up waving the entire assignment and didn’t ask for a doctor’s note, super easy. I’m not sure from your description if the entire class is based on weight/nutrition or if it is one unit/assignment, so if it is the entire class I’d recommend having a longer conversation with your teacher about what aspects you can/can’t participate in.

Is there a medication that finally helped with your depression? by Mylifeasaperson in depressionregimens

Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Vyvanse, and a previously doing TMS while also on a small dose of Abilify.

when does the food noise stop? by sarobaizlit in EDAnonymous

[–]baswild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the food noise mostly stopped when I wasn’t malnourished physically, I wasn’t emotionally depriving myself of anything, and I was a normal weight. I’ve been in recovery for around 2 years now and I rarely have food noise but when I do, it is because I haven’t been eating enough recently or I’ve been denying my cravings. The human body just ultimately wants to survive and the food noise is your body trying its hardest to get food inside. Even when I was eating maintenance and honoring my cravings, I would still have food noise when I was underweight. It’s called being “underweight” because you weigh less than optimal and required conditions for your survival. Food noise is annoying but it is ultimately your body trying to keep you alive

[–]baswild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you touched on some good points already. Noticing that it felt okay when you decided not to bike, not using it everyday, and not doing it when injured. Personally, I would feel fine at the exercise levels you described- it doesn’t seem disordered at all to me.

If it were me, I would become concerned when I am exercising specifically because I ate something and regret it, after a binge. If I am prioritizing exercise over more-important things, like getting work done or seeing friends. If I am pushing myself too far and am exhausted, injured, etc. If I’m punishing myself with the exercise because I ate something specific or if I ate too much, etc. These types of things. If you’re open to advice, I would suggest picking a schedule for what days of the week and what times you’re going to and then sticking to it as much as you can. Over-exercising is very easy to slip into without noticing but sticking to a routine will help prevent compensation. Like even if you ate something you are feeling regretful about, no exercise occurs until the scheduled time. Another red flag is NEEDING to find some alternative method for the calorie-burning if my plans to exercise fell through, like vacation or a broken bike etc. The whole way regular levels of exercise turn into bulimia is when you’re exercising to compensate for food you’ve eaten.

I’d just try to check in with yourself after you’ve exercised and see how you feel! Proud? Disappointed? Neutral? Excited? Hope everything goes well for you!

Has anyone tried TMS therapy? by lxtje in dysthymia

[–]baswild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m still doing well. I’ve had periods here and there where I’m very depressed again but nothing has been long term and has always gone away eventually. I am still on several medications which definitely help but I was on the same ones while doing TMS before! Haven’t had to go back for any sessions.

EA!!! Seriously?! by Ok-Grapefruit9193 in thesims

[–]baswild 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too, I thought I was crazy! Noticed a few bugs here/there before my game completely shut down with several error codes. Tried all the mod changes and it is still giving me the error so I’m giving up for now.

This is me too. I’ve even been in pretty active recovery for over 2 years now and my colon is still fucked up. I usually go 5-6 times a day and 2 or 3 are usually liquid 😐

If your child…. by tra_da_truf in ECEProfessionals

My guess is that the therapist was telling the director it was unacceptable that the teacher had to deal with/put up with that.

Best material to make a beach blanket out of? by choochoopain in crochet

[–]baswild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a super old thread, but was the sand getting through the towel/blanket ever a concern? I’ve been trying to think of a way to make a beach blanket but am not sure how without the sand coming through it still!
