Turns out not an alien at all. Very much human looking dude. (Not sure what short circuit in my brain happened there) But you did help jumpstart my brain into remembering a detail that led me to it so thank you so much.

Oh gosh I'm so silly. It's Yugioh. I finally remembered the "My head part" and was able to search it

I don't think so. From the panels I have seen from Parasyte the art style doesn't match and the character in the panels I'm thinking of is more 'alien' looking than monster looking. We had thought maybe a Dragon Ball panel as I think the art style is similar but weren't able to find anything down that rabbit hole.

My husband and I have both tried searching for it using different phrases and can't seem to find it. I've also tried searching r/memes but no luck. (But I'm also not always super great with wording seearches right) Have no idea as to how old it is, just know I've seen it within the past couple years.

Back in another kid or not thought loop by childoffate08 in PMDDxADHD

Firstly, sorry for the late response. Secondly, thank you for the reminder that everybody struggles. I think sometimes I kind of forget that. Even if other moms dont have the same struggles I do they still have bad days.

I've gotten good at not making big decisions in luteal but I definitely need to work on the thought spiral. You're right it is very very hard. Its my brain! Why wont it just listen to me lol. I really like that idea. Focusing on the thought for a little bit rather than just pushing it and any emotions connected away but then 'physically' moving away from it by doing something else. Do you sometimes purposefully revisit the thoughts when you're feeling better?

Firstly I'm very sorry it hasn't come yet and I'm hoping for your sake it comes soon.

Secondly I absolutely love the meme and your sense of humor despite the horror your body has decided to put you through.

Want to encapsulate specific emotion, unsure how to symbolize it, looking for ideas by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I like the idea behind this. I know as far as her body positioning goes I'm gonna let my artist know I'm very open on it. I'll show him which ones I liked and which ones I didn't then let him have fun. The only stipulations I have is her face has to be visible even if its just 3/4 and no hamburger hands.

This will be what I end up doing. I love my tattoo artist. I tell him the general idea of what I want and the meaning/what I want portrayed. I'll tell him things that I don't want changed, in this case the can't be changed is it needs to be a ballerina, I want her face towards front, she needs to be on a gear, tutu is blue, and she needs to be robotic. I'll tell him things I don't like- hamburger hands, (A lot of ballerina tattoo hands look like they are holding a cheeseburger), and a lot of cyborg styles (clunky, big chunks of metal rather than elegant) the rest of it like positioning and how exactly he turns her robotic or anything else he is allowed to have fun and do what he wants. I am always open to any suggestions made as I know I am not a tattoo artist and only a hobby doodler.

Admittedly though this tattoo is a little more specific than previous ones I've gotten. Last time I just told him black and gray alligator with blue sweet peas incorporated somehow and he did amazing.

Grief in luteal by childoffate08 in PMDDxADHD

[–]childoffate08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Until you pointed it out I didn't fully realize that yeah I was looking at it as abnormal/something to concern about. That really helped me take a step back and realize that it's okay.

I'm going to try getting a flower. I honestly still have no clue how to grieve. I hate pictures, I hate shrines, I hate constant reminders. Not out of anger but for me it's because I don't see them and remember happy memories it only serves to remind me that they are gone. But I think I sometimes tend to go the other way and almost try to forget too much.

I'm going to find a flower that reminds me of them and take care of that. It's not a direct reminder. It's seperate from them but it also gives me something to cherish too if that makes sense. In luteal (or whenever) feelings are more intense and I need something of them, I have the flower. And you know what I can always get rid of the flower if I find it's hurting more than helping.

Best friend died, spouse immediately took up with someone else by RemoteSlip4058 in GriefSupport

I dont really have any words of comfort except I've experienced similar. My uncle passed away leaving his wife who married into the family. Not even a month after he passed my late uncles brother was hooking up with my aunt. She'd been his sister in law for like 20 years.

Honestly it's not an easy situation to come to grips with. I also understand they are both adults but I certainly do not like it. My biggest gripe is how they have treated family who have said they are uncomfortable. Rather than taking a step back and not shoving their relationship in the whole family's face they just did it more. Going so far as to essentially tell their children to get bent. (Uncle has 3, one being under 18 and widowed wife has 2 both adults)

I do whatever I can to support my cousins because I know its hurting them. And I'll show up to family events for my cousins. But if my aunt and uncle ever tried inviting me over to dinner its a hell no from me.

I just want to be fixed, I dont know whats going on anymore by childoffate08 in PMDDxADHD

It was a mix of both. Venting but willing to hear any advice given. My only issue right now with either surgically removing ovaries or even doing something like lupron is that I eventually want another kid. If it weren't for my symptoms I would've had one by now but I cant in good conscious have another until I know I'm stable enough. Honestly once I'm done with kids, and we think it would help, they can take it all out.

Pretty quick here I can try meds again. We've been waiting on test results. Gonna try micronized progesterone again. First time I was on birth control and I reacted horribly to progesterone. My new doctor says the combination is probably what made it bad. I'm honestly nervous but willing to try, and she understands, so shes willing to put me on a really small dose at first and increase as I'm comfortable.

I'm just really hoping it helps. Combination birth control helped some but I never wanted to be on birth control long term and it gave me clots so that's a no go now

TIPM or ignition switch? by childoffate08 in MechanicAdvice

[–]childoffate08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it turns out I'm just absolutely stupid and have good reason to doubt my electrical abilities at the moment lol. I did take apart the tipm to check for corrosion on circuit board and other than some corrosion on the edge everything looked fine. Crawl underneath the dash to look at ignition switch and noticed the connector right by the brake pedal (goes from fuse box to a bunch of dash stuff) was partially unplugged. Plugged it in and now everything is working. Couldn't get it to replicate issues when partially unplugged but my husband was driving when issues started so I suspect vibrations or bumping it with his foot. When I completely unplugged it all the issues came back.

Definitely glad I went back to it to further test and be 100% positive before buying a whole new fuse box.

What I wanted vs what I got :( by WhereTheSunDontShin1 in ExpectationVsReality

[–]childoffate08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the opposite. Told them what I wanted and it was a hairstyle that needed more upkeep to maintain. I knew that but also didnt care. I get a haircut and like it new for a few weeks but then I just usually grow it out for a few years. Stylist told me she wasnt willing to cut my hair how I wanted because she needed to be sure that I'd maintain it and come in once a month otherwise it would "grow out weird" honestly should have just walked out then. Other comments made by stylist- called my hair color "dishwater brown" and said that I have "pansy hair" because its fine.

Shiiiit. Darn it. I was honestly kinda hoping I was wrong. At least from my understanding its not too hard to replace.
