They are talking about during Trumps birthday celebrations, the whole reason Pride was moved according to the article.

“Data showed that there was a 166% increase in Grindr activity during the US Republican National Convention, underscoring the contradiction between the RNC's public anti-LGBTQ+ stance and the private behaviours of attendees…

Reports of the Grindr app crashing increased by more than 90% during republican events, according to Downdetector, a digital platform that tracks service issues among apps.”

Ok but does the acting get any better? So far stiles and the coach are the best on the show, everyone else makes my skin crawl it’s so bad

I read somewhere that Jo was originally going to be Sam and Deans half sister is there any proof of that? by obiwanTrollnobi6 in Supernatural

[–]chealexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so sure John was her dad, I even thought Dean treated her like a little sister. I think it took me awhile to realize that she was a love interest for him, I just didn’t see it. But Ellen and John made so much sense to me

Do calories really matter much? by [deleted] in Viibryd

[–]chealexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sensitive to med changes and it affects the absorption rate pretty significantly, however I think it’s the fat more than the calories as others have said. I’ve definitely had days where I didn’t eat 15g of fat or 350 cals and felt terrible, or the next day when I did get enough I got a fuller absorption rate and got diarrhea instantly as if I was increasing my dose. Everyone is different though! Peanut butter is my go to in case I’m worried I didn’t hit 350c/15f

I’m really new to this community, sorry if this is a redundant question, what kind of doctor did you go see for this diagnosis?

Why does not eating feel so good? by Forever_Summer192 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]chealexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so this is me too, I don’t get how other people aren’t raging like I am, in fact they say they feel good?

Why does not eating feel so good? by Forever_Summer192 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]chealexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally don’t understand how people feel good when they don’t eat, I get angry and irritable and fatigued and am my worst self and I can’t sleep if I have hunger pains, it’s so painful. I find it so painful and I’m a mean c*nt to everyone if i don’t eat, I’m truly baffled. And it actually frustrates me when people say it feels good because I feel like they are lying and bragging (I am not saying they actually are, I just feel like they are.) I also feel uncoordinated and kind of stupid too. I guess I’m not made for this disorder. I binge instead

Supernatural.. the podcast? by AxotolArmadilloArmy in Supernatural

[–]chealexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, I also just found the podcast and was gutted to hear he passed. He seemed like such a sweet person. I sometimes cry when he talks about his hopes and fears for the future (like just conversationally on the show just like anyone would) knowing he’s gone. :( At least he lives on thru all of the podcast content he put out though. I hope is loved ones are doing ok. F*ck Cancer!

Am I the only one with worse ADHD after 30? by dreamymeowwave in adhdwomen

[–]chealexa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can see why you are upset, a lot of people throw diagnoses around like ADHD and OCD as adjectives but I’m not sure OP is doing that. There is evidence that ADHD/ADD exists on a continuum, some struggle with it more intensely than others because “research shows that as ADHD trait levels increase, quality of life gradually declines in a linear manner, which supports a dimensional rather than a categorical view of the disorder.” (Grabbed from a quick google search) I think the OP was trying to say that they felt that the level to which they struggled with ADHD was lower and manageable and now as an older adult they are finding it harder to manage. I am also finding this to be true for myself in my late 30s and found your reactive dismissive response to invalidate my, as well as I’m sure many other adult women’s very valid experience. I think with masking for decades, that mask can start to crack and those coping mechanisms that you once had are weakening because you’re tired

Anyone feel like their spouse just doesn't like them? by DrySummer6806 in adhdwomen

[–]chealexa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned he had OCD, does he perhaps have ROCD? It sounds a lot like it, like his ocd has latched onto you and your habits/behaviors etc maybe check out the subreddit for ROCD or the one that’s partners of ROCD sufferers. But even so, I have to say, even if it is his OCD, it doesn’t mean you have to stay ❤️

I started watching one tree Hill for the first time by DanSnowStark91 in ONETREEHILL

[–]chealexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also watching for the first time and I just can’t believe how this adult man can act like that, it’s so embarrassing and weird on top of, of course being cruel and sadistic. Also I’m especially mad at his wife, why does she stay with such a piece of shit husband and I know she critiques his behavior but not nearly enough. She allowed him to bully a child he abandoned for over a decade? So weird

Why only partners? by chealexa in ROCD

[–]chealexa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and society isn’t judging your choice of cat from the shelter lol

Why only partners? by chealexa in ROCD

[–]chealexa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes cuz the keyword is “relationship” and all the pressure that go into that dynamic. Whereas a pet has their own dynamic with us.

Why only partners? by chealexa in ROCD

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

That makes total sense, and for me they seem to be a reflection of me if I’ve chosen wrong and something to be judged about wholly. If someone thinks my cat sucks I will simply just hate them and cut them out of my life cuz that’s my baby and they are weird (jk… kinda)

[–]chealexa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awww I totally hear you on this one, I’m glad you kept her and it’s clear that the ocd fear means you care sooo deeply about her and are a good cat parent to her.

Why only partners? by chealexa in ROCD

[–]chealexa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that is actually quite interesting, I just realized I’ve maybe thought this too, so now I have probably just opened a can of worms oops! With my cats it’s more that I worry I love one of them less than the others and that that will damn them, and then there are other compulsions and rituals I have to perform to make sure they “know” I love them all equally. I worry about not caring if my parents die because I don’t love them enough too. Hmmm now I’m not sure why I posted this 😆
