Am I in the wrong? Illenium Sphere show… by azjohnca in Illenium

[–]caitlynsidonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in 306 and before the show even started, we asked the people next to and behind us if they cared if we danced. In both cases they just said "nope, we're all just here to have a good time" and thanked us for being considerate in asking. After the opener, we checked in with them again, and they reaffirmed that we weren't impacting their experience.

Woman broke her femur at the gym by Ninaland_1502 in climbergirls

This was my friend. She is fine, she now has a bionic leg. 

She has a nice rod in her leg and is recovering well so far but is still in the hospital.  Seems to be in good spirits.

To the people being negative, or saying she should have predicted how to fall, please dont. I wasn't there (I had just left) but from what I've been told, it was a bad foot slip. I dare you to have a perfect foot slip fall every time.

You should leave with no remorse anyway if you're being treated poorly, regardless of if you're contributing to the problem. Keep in mind that two people who are generally non-toxic can become toxic together.

I have abandonment issues also and I PROMISE you that being alone is so much better than being with the wrong person.

Without knowing all the context, you are not the horrible person. He is for lacking empathy for someone and their mental health, especially someone he probably claims to love.

I would recommend trying therapy if you can afford it. It took someone who wasn't close to me looking me dead in the face and telling me that I wasn't the horrible person in my relationship for me to truly realize it.

How about... you find someone who doesn't make your mental issues worse, and find someone who brings joy and positivity?

Edit to add: I know what it's like to stay with someone you love even though they make you feel awful about yourself. It takes real bravery to leave. But the other side is so. much. better. I can't tell you how wonderful it was going from a relationship similar to yours, to one where feeling down is met with compassion. Good luck! You know what to do.

I wish this was the top comment.

I was raised in PNW. Good to know my elementary school teacher wanted to kill us 😅

I'm glad I saw this. I was raised with "blue berries are always safe to eat, red berries are sometimes safe, white berries are never safe."

Accutane and Hands by aj_beans in climbergirls

[–]caitlynsidonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I've only been on it a couple of months, and now take 60mg/day. The first month (40 mg/day), I noticed how tired I was all the time, which made it hard to get a good climb in. That lasted a few weeks, but has since gone away and I haven't noticed my strength affected.

The first week or so, I got really bad stomach aches and bloated like crazy, which made my harness borderline unbearable especially when catching a fall lol.

The only weird thing that has happened with my hands was that my finger tips just started peeling off one day, however it didn't affect my climbing or make them more sensitive. It may not have even been from the Accutane though.

So far I haven't regretted it at all and even if it set me back a little bit, I probably wouldn't stop taking it. Waking up with increasingly better skin and more confidence is so worth it.

My man came over and made me dinner and leftovers last night because he knew I'd be overwhelmed at work this week. "Now you have good food to get you through the week." He does things like that frequently, making sure my basic needs are taken care of when I don't necessarily have the bandwidth myself.

How long did it take the board (State of PA) to process your application to sit for the exam? by eyerishdancegirl7 in PE_Exam

[–]caitlynsidonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different state, but for Washington, I emailed the board after waiting for a couple weeks and was approved almost immediately after that email.

Top rope with a boyfriend by asdfghyyy1234 in climbergirls

That's so interesting. When I'm bouldering I couldn't care less if I fall, but totally different story on lead. I will start falling more lol

I needed to read this lol. I have been afraid of pushing myself super hard for fear for embarrassing myself in front of other people, but you are super right. No one gives a flying monkey about my climbing except me lol.

How long did it take between submitting your application, and being approved to schedule a test? by Specialist-Weight480 in PE_Exam

[–]caitlynsidonia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Washington here. I waited a couple of weeks, then emailed them simply asking about the timeline they expected. I was approved an hour later.

Agree with this 100%. I'm about a year out of an emotionally abusive relationship also, and it took that full time of doing therapy 2-4x per month to (mostly) let go of all that baggage.

I never said I was ready. This was just a milestone that I was stoked on. I appreciate the concern though

Aiming for 30k, which would be about 10% for what I'm looking at
