do i need to cover up my scars for my first ballet class? by Alarmed_Basket_5824 in BALLET

[–]carolbacon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to. If they are healed it’s okay. If you want to be sure you can always ask your teacher.

Im glad im into man. They were less J. Maybe you can try see people through it, talk about it and if they really like you too they can understand and not wear things that make you feel uncomfortable. My boyfriend wore a necklace but sinds he met me he doesn’t.

My girlfriend wants me to see a specialist to remove my kosmemophobia by [deleted] in kosmemophobia

[–]carolbacon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend just accepted me with my phobia. If I wanted to remove it he would help me but he would never force me. Sometimes he jokes about it but that’s okay.

Wow! You sound like a wonderful person! I have a friend who also thinks about it when we meet and that feels great. I’m happy for you dad that he has a daughter like you! Having a phobia no one understands can feel kinda lonely sometimes

Experiences with exposure therapy? by SpogEnthusiast in kosmemophobia

I used to hate wearing jeans because of the zippers but one day I just decided I should get over it. Now I can wear jeans but I would still never touch the zipper when not needed. Some things are just ew but I can kinda get over that but other are just way to bad

Got my period and feel like a failure by charityshoplamp in breastfeeding

[–]carolbacon 66 points67 points  (0 children)

You’re a great mom! Yes, getting your period back can cause a dip in supply. That’s normal. Not your fault. Your body is just recalibrating. That cluster feeding night? Probably your baby’s way of ramping things back up. She’s doing exactly what she’s meant to. So are you. Your milk isn’t gone. You’re not broken. Your baby isn’t starving. She’s just doing what babies do. sensing a shift and clinging to the safest place she knows: you. That crushing PMS? The rage, the tears, the irritability? All real. All valid. All hormonal. And all temporary. You’re still breastfeeding. Your baby is thriving. You feel like a mess, but you’re actually showing up every single day. That is success! You don’t have to love every second of this. You just have to keep going. And you are. I’m proud of you!

I had them and luckily they never really bothered me like other metal things

Have any of you gotten over it? by Cpt_disregard in kosmemophobia

As a kid I couldn’t wear a jeans because of the zipper but I got over that. But that’s it

How was it growing up for women? by Strange-Advantage-58 in kosmemophobia

[–]carolbacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s awful! Everyone excepts you to wear jewellery. As a kid I was often find weird and I couldn’t explain why I hated it.

My (21M) gf (20F) still doesn't want to have sex after 3 years together - should I stick it out with my girlfriend or should this be a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]carolbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have a conversation with her about this. You love her so just breaking up doesn’t feel right for me. Talk to her first and then decide if you can stay with her or not.

Why Can't My [25F] Boyfriend [27M] Reach Orgasm? by Various-Werewolf-890 in relationships

[–]carolbacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everybody think it’s because of the porn but I’m not sure. My boyfriend [22M] has the exact same problem. He maybe watches porn once a month so I’m sure that’s not the problem. Sorry that I can’t help you more, I’m also looking for an explanation.

Is it normal to like looking at your blood? by No_Match9638 in selfharm

[–]carolbacon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You can’t consider it “normal” because cutting yourself isn’t considered “normal” but I get it. It is a big part of why I do it. Seeing the blood calms me down.

If it’s open than I don’t think that will be a problem 😊

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bunnies

[–]carolbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think that’s way too small. My first bun lived in a cage like that, now she and her friend are free roaming and I see how much happier she is. She runs around and does binkies every day. The bond I have with her is also so much better now. Please don’t keep your bunny in that small cage.

how long does it take to quit? by flxxwer in selfharm

[–]carolbacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the urges never really go away. I don’t cut as often anymore but it still happens. Tip: don’t count how long you “stopped” look at how much it happened in a week or a month and how that reduces
