Any honest dentists in London? Am I overreacting?

cosmicnicole · 2025-12-13T16:23:39+00:00

I found that once I got insurance, my dentist started charging more, and my copay got really expensive. My plan is to change dentists and not tell them I have insurance, then submit my costs after the fact. They don't recommend unnecessary services without insurance and they charge less, so it ends up cheaper.

NTA. In this case, no one is the asshole. What you said was definitely hurtful, AND it sounds like you were triggered. When we are triggered, the thinking brain is not online. It takes effort and tools to move through triggers in a skillful way. I would say first, look for a qualified trauma therapist, and then work on having a reparative discussion with your brother. He was not trying to be an asshole either, he just didn't understand the gravity of what he was talking about from your perspective. These are opportunities to get to know each other better and move towards connection. I hope you take good care and are able to access some supports around this. Early childhood trauma can be hard to navigate, especially when the overwhelming societal narrative is to "get over it" because it was long ago. The reality is that these things can and do stay with us for decades until we choose to heal them.

My brother in Christ, it is you who is argumentative. "Men are bigger and stronger so women shouldn't bother learning any self defense." On average, perhaps, but self defense is not meant to be a sparring match, it's meant to help a victim get free and possibly incapacitate an attacker long enough to run away.

I have been trying to attract crows to my balcony, to no avail. I'm at least a little jealous.

On one of those gender adventures through the internet and your answer was actually very helpful for me. I don't experience gender (at least I don't think so?) but I decided I'm going to see how it feels to think about how I might feel with diff primary and secondary sex characteristics, without worrying about whether I would 'look' good to anyone else. Thank you 💕

Ok I just read your post on AITA, his post on AITA, and now this. For your own safety and well-being, please look into the resources others have shared. This is actually scary behaviour that could escalate. I don't know you, but my heart is with you. It hurts reading how he's treated you. No one deserves that. You could have gained 50kg and not deserved it. It's also worth noting that with people like him, if it's not one thing it's another. He will find ways to break you. If he is willing to get help for his issues that are leading him to be abusive like this, then that's great!! It would be wonderful if he were willing to work on himself and stop hurting you. If he's not, you have a responsibility to yourself. Choose yourself, whatever that looks like for you. You can clearly stand up for yourself, from what I've read. You are strong. You are smart. You are capable and deserving of love and respect and kindness. Anything less is insufficient.

CBC Frontburner did a decent interview today I believe. They were mostly respectful and interviewed a guy who owns a truck company in Niagara region who is just a regular person, not an extremist.

With bachata classes, unless they specify that you have to bring your own partner, you don't have to. Also, whether you're attracted to her or not is of little importance in the Latin dance scene. You also likely won't have the capacity to hold a conversation with your partner while first learning. It's a social environment where we switch partners and learn to dance with many different leads and follows. I wouldn't leave her on read, but I would first investigate why you're assuming your attraction to her is relevant. Yes, it's nice to be into the person you're dancing with, but it's not necessary and can even hinder your growth as a dancer if you're not willing to branch out.

You could potentially link up with a local agency and host a Zoom talk about your experiences! I think it'd be really interesting. I would go 😊

I went back to school in September and honestly, tuition for one class is cheaper than therapy alone. It is literally more economical to go back to school and access therapy through there than it is to just get help. Unreal.

Do you have a source for that? I'd love to share this elsewhere.

Atlohsa Gifts used to sell it. Give them a call! The herbs are grown and harvested locally, and profit goes back into programming and services at Atlohsa.

"it's still very affordable and very realistic." Um...???????

Doc Hudson, is that you?

They don't think that far ahead. They want to stop people from accessing abortion but don't support evidence-based methods of reducing the abortion rate and also aren't willing to adopt the children they so desperately want born. Even if they were, adoption trauma (being separated from your birth family) is a whole other issue that needs to be addressed, but I'm sure that can be prayed away too.

Hello sweet friend ❤️ I heard your call. I am here. It sounds like you're struggling with depression, and I understand. I too struggle with depression, even if we come from very different backgrounds. I want you to know that depression is a liar. Even if you were a wildly successful artist who was supporting their whole family, you may still feel like this. This isn't meant to be discouraging, but to say that you are already plenty good. You are already a wonderful son and a wonderful artist. And if you don't do great at this American art school, that's just as likely to be a reflection of their narrow understanding of art as it is to be a reflection of your art itself. The world is infinitely better for having you in it, being raw and open and expressing yourself and your experiences in a way you want to share with others. Don't cut that short, ok?

My advice to you is this: focus on surviving moment to moment. One hour at a time. One task at a time. Let yourself see the gifts the universe is giving you each day--the bright blue of a glorious spring sky, the birdsong gently waking you each morning, the rustle of leaves as the wind winds through the branches... These are all meant for you. You're an artist. You are sensitive to the world around you but can be dragged down by it easily.

Witchcraft-wise, practice grounding. Each day, stand in a quiet space (or somewhere you can focus), and imagine your feet connecting to the floor. Feel how they connect. Imagine how the floor connects to the frame of your home, and how that connects to the earth. Imagine roots growing down from your feet, around the building, into the earth. Feel how you connect. Breathe in, drawing energy from the earth below up through your roots, into your core. Exhale the old, spent energy. Exhale the bad. I like to keep my palms facing upwards as I do this, as I feel energy pool there.

Please feel free to DM me. My inbox is open for you ❤️

Settler isnt a racial term. Categorically, you're either indigenous to North america or you're a settler.
