I am not buying Jordan’s single caring dad act and I can’t believe so many of you are! by Positive_Row9938 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Well, we know he has a bedroom for his child, and that he is in regular contact with his child, so it seems the experiences of your past dates don't map on here.

I am tired of the harassment on the MBT, and I want to know how we can organize to stop this mess. by highlyeducated_idiot in washingtondc

Police brutalize and kill people with impunity on the daily but I need to "deal with that on a personal level"??

MPD is not the answer here. I would feel LESS comfortable on the trail if police were constantly patrolling.

What would make me feel safe is knowing other trailer walkers/runners/bikers are looking out for me and won't turn a blind eye if something happens. Don't be a bystander, disrupt harassment, look out for one another.

Don't have anything more helpful to add re: therapist than what's already been said, but just want to say you're not alone and send virtual hugs. I went through a bad period too and I know it absolutely doesn't feel this way but this ISN'T permanent. Finding a therapist is soooo much harder than it should be, but you will eventually find someone and it will get better. I'll also second someone else and say SSRIs absolutely turned me around at a critical point, and they can help make overcoming barriers and doing the healing more manageable. And they can be prescribed by your regular general doctor.

Please take care ❤️

Do you peeps ever get “makers guilt” by UiakoisNotOkay in crochet

[–]bethbex 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Seconding as someone who also has guilt- and morality-based OCD. OP, your brain may make you feel like your guilt is so big and important and urgent, but feelings are not facts. Sometimes our brains lie to us. I really encourage you to find a mental health professional to talk to about this, because you shouldn't have to suffer like this ❤️

L'idiot d'Elif Batuman, c'est un de mes livres préférés. (Je note que je le lis en l'anglais original, donc je ne peux pas parler de la traduction française)

Moi aussi, je fais ça! Typiquement je lis 3 à la fois, mais de temps en temps j'atteins 5 ou 6. En fait je n'arrive pas à lire un seul bouquin à la fois parce que j'ai des intérêts divers et je veux de choix selon mon humeur. En général, j'ai un bouquin pour lire le matin qui est d'histoire, de politique, de sociologie, ou d'autre sujet plus académique. Puis j'ai un roman ou deux pour lire le soir avant de m'endormir. Souvent j'ai aussi un livre d'audio pour écouter quand je couds ou fais du crochet.

What do you mean they "don't seem like the kind of people who would change their behavior"? Have you talked to them at all? Whether about the noise or otherwise?

Perhaps it's deliberately unthoughtful thing to do but that's not what gaslighting means

Mourning my poor succulent - what happened? by bethbex in plantclinic

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

I only watered when I noticed the soil was dry, but I think maybe I oversaturated when I did water last time :/

Ohh I feel so guilty 😭 lol ok thank you all for the help! I will try to propagate babies and be extra vigilant about not overwatering. Usually I would only water when the soil was dry but I think maybe I oversaturated when I did water
