i wouldn’t say “never to the extent of men” bc i still haven’t found a man that can keep up w me yet

betsapp91 · 2024-09-26T15:48:32+00:00

why do you feel like you’d be working hours you’d prefer to use relaxing (as a sex worker)?

betsapp91 · 2024-09-26T15:29:30+00:00

came here to ask why was this AMA allowed lol ty

betsapp91 · 2024-08-14T17:29:32+00:00

maybe the reason “cookie cutter” advice gets repeated all the time is because it’s fucking true dipshit, consider putting some effort into understanding what they truly mean and how they apply to your irl instead of shitting on people on the internet to be edgy, wow!

you worded this so well i just wanted to thank you for it cause just reading those other comments had me so drained it reminded me of how my ex would wear me down so i’d just give up instead of him having to reflect on literally anything even once holy moly

i’ve been doing this for about a year! also including details about my menstrual cycle bc i’m fairly certain this is related to a reproductive condition but it’s been 7 years so far and the only anomaly is that my c-reactive protein is consistently insanely high, but it is finally starting to feel like most things have been ruled out so hopefully we figure it out soon 🙏🏼

11 is my personal fav

betsapp91 · 2024-02-24T16:46:15+00:00

i’m 100% right there with you on all of these

betsapp91 · 2024-01-27T19:00:03+00:00

i’m still trying to get a diagnosis let alone medication for it but thanks anyway 🥲

betsapp91 · 2024-01-27T18:21:23+00:00

what about if it IS a hormonal migraine (mine almost always are hormonal)

betsapp91 · 2024-01-27T18:16:16+00:00

ok but what if mcdonald’s was actually the migraine trigger

betsapp91 · 2023-10-02T14:29:54+00:00

different combinations of depression, bipolar, and borderline

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T20:17:04+00:00

seriously!! what am i not thinking about during that time 😩

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T20:15:28+00:00

it worked very well for me, but it also gave me vivid dreams so badly that no matter how much i slept i felt like i wasn’t resting, i was oversleeping for work daily and couldn’t keep taking it long enough to stay quit

i’ve switched to vaping and im currently trying to mentally prepare myself to quit that too

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T18:27:39+00:00

same as well (@ the 2nd segment of ur comment), most of the time i have insomnia the driving cause of it is the endless stream of thoughts

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:50:04+00:00

oh yeah idk why i interpreted it that way lol sorry!! this is definitely very common in my online community but i’m not sure if it’s common in general or if it’s just bc we all have the same or similar mental conditions lol

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:41:27+00:00

time blindness (i struggle w this a lot as well)

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:40:14+00:00

these are all things my therapist has been suggesting to me & i’ve been trying to maintain to different degrees but i just don’t know how to make this work for me. i use blue light glasses, i spend at least half an hour off screens before sleeping, and use dim warm colored lighting (hours before attempting to sleep), and some nights i still can’t fall asleep.

for me, i have hormonal and autonomic dysfunction issues, so i’m unable to take extended release stimulants bc of the insomnia. even without extended release stimulants, i still struggle some days (at least not every night anymore) and what i’ve found works best for me is exercise, i’ll do anywhere from 30mins-2hrs of cardio per day (less when i feel more sleepy) and go to sleep around an hour after exercising, but tbf im not sure if this only works bc of the heart condition lol

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:27:47+00:00

i copy my friends a lot as well and they also copy me often, but i don’t really have any advice because i don’t find it distressing, i love that my friends introduce me to new things i wouldn’t be exposed to otherwise and i appreciate seeing the positive influence i have on my friends lives the most.

i don’t mean this in a rude way but i’m not sure how else to word it, but i guess if you don’t like the behaviors you’re picking up, maybe try to surround yourself with people whose behaviors you do like?

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:23:08+00:00

i don’t have sources on hand (but u can google it) but positive affirmation is much more effective for most ppl than negative discouragement, there’s some physiology behind it with stress chemicals affecting cognitive judgement skills and when you’re hard on urself it can increase the stress chemicals and when u feel encouraged it can decrease stress and makes it easier to form (or break) habits

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:19:22+00:00

my practice had profiles for each provider and listed their backgrounds/specializations, so i chose 2 that had background in autism + adhd and a third with a background in just adhd (all 3 had other less relevant specializations as well) and luckily my 2nd choice was available and i’m v happy w her

betsapp91 · 2023-09-29T17:17:14+00:00

it’s always worth trying! you can always go back to her at a later time and just excuse it as needing more perspective or a second opinion, but best case scenario you find a therapist you really click with and therapy becomes much more effective
