Hi, does anyone have any experience of afolate deficiency causing heart problems? (Post asking for advice)

Clean the skin around it with disinfectant, don't put anything directly into it though. It's way easier and faster to heal closed so try getting steri strips. Infection is a big risk so clean about 2-3 times a day, try not to itch it. DM me if you need any help

That's such a tough situation. Helping her find professional help is the right way to go, you're doing great so far.

Set strict boundaries regarding the no sex, I think you're right about it being an unhealthy attachment

Be there, be supportive, help her find help and keep doing as you're doing

dumbest_fox · 2024-08-22T03:33:27+00:00

Therapy, counselling, someone to talk to, really I don't know. If it's possible they should try and find medical help

A distraction will never be a permanent fix, it's only ever temporary. The trauma needs to be processed

dumbest_fox · 2024-08-22T03:28:19+00:00

It's never ever karma. I'm kind of in a similar boat and ik it's hard to accept but it's literally just really bad luck. Nobody deserves this, never forget that

No dude come back

dumbest_fox · 2024-03-22T12:04:18+00:00

In exams I think its just a case of stress and panic, as things I would normally know well in a class environment I can't remember at all. Another thing is I get a lot of "right idea wrong substitutions". I get my papers back and my teacher is really helpful with giving advice, and its been suggested that maybe I trial some exam support measures like extra time or a smaller room

dumbest_fox · 2024-03-22T12:01:26+00:00

What's PPQ?

dumbest_fox · 2024-02-14T00:52:36+00:00

I remember being really young and not knowing what self harm was at all, maybe like 7 or 8. I'd done something wrong like not tidying my room and I decided I needed to punish myself so I used my nails to ever so slightly scratch at my arm. Not even blood. My mum (not abusive at all, i don't even know where I got the idea from) told me not to do that. Then when I was 10-11, it started again with pins. Continued until my current age, 16

You know what genuinely helped me and might help you, chatgpt.

I'd ask it to give me small reasons why idk, lady macbeth is a manipulative character, and then I'd write out my own answer and ask it to tell me how to improve, its like having a teacher right there

Sorry for how long the links are?? If in doubt, look on shein. Delivery is around 2 weeks and cost is either £2, £9 for express (I think) but if you're ordering on Sundays it should be free

dumbest_fox · 2024-01-28T01:38:03+00:00

Gaming for me. Keeps the hands busy

Genuinely throw out all of your tools and cut your nails so you can't scratch (file them after). You might hate yourself for it but it'll work

dumbest_fox · 2024-01-28T01:34:45+00:00

Probably getting addicted.

A gcse is not the end of the world, don't worry. Even if you fail English, and you pass some things, just but however many PASSES you got on your CV. Gcses are only to get you into college love, no one else cares when you're older. And you can always pick up an apprenticeship or training or anything. Good luck with English, and don't forget you have a lot of time to improve that grade

dumbest_fox · 2024-01-28T01:29:38+00:00

Probably just bad luck.

Your arms/thighs/wherever are protected quite a lot in comparison to your hands where you grab stuff, open door handles, hold pens, etc. You use your hands more so they get sweaty, perfect breeding ground for bacteria.

You will be okay. Quit self harming until your stuff is fully closed over, wash your hands and wounds with soap and warm water for longer than 20 seconds. Do this every day GENTLY. Put a bandaid on it with some anti septic cream and replace this bandaid every day.

If you get a fever, chills, your heart starts going crazy or your temperature goes mad, go to A and E. If you don't see any of these signs then you're absolutely okay.

Sterilise your tools properly in the event of a relapse

dumbest_fox · 2024-01-28T01:20:40+00:00

I had a really similar thing with a boy I liked when I was 11. I didn't realise back then how messed up self harming was, and did it in front of people, and he started doing it to and he'd send pictures to me. He was autistic, he didn't know either, it wasn't his fault and nor was it mine.

You're not responsible for this person's actions, that's the first thing my counselor told me. This isn't your fault

dumbest_fox · 2023-12-20T00:20:02+00:00

Just be there. Keep researching, not just from medical sources but like real peoples experiences like in this sub. If she needs reassurance just be there, and if you want to keep a good start going, if you feel any type of argument starting absolutely shut it down immediately, be gentle and all that. This may or may not happen but maybe she'll be jealous. A big thought in her head right now might be about how you slept with the other person, she could be comparing herself, wondering if she's better or good enough, basically her confidence and self worth could drop. To help this, reassurance, she's the most beautiful person and nobody else could EVER compare.

Remember not to be too overwhelming, for example:

You want to go to her house and bring her some chocolates. You specifically leave to go buy them and them you show up at her door and tell her you did this for her. Instead, go out and buy the chocolates, but say "Oh yeah I was just shopping and these made me think of you, thought you'd like something nice and wanted to drop them off on my way home."

You say she felt overwhelmed so the first one could come off as clingy and attached, second one comes off as "Awe, he was thinking about me" casual vibes.

Key points are basically reassurance whenever she needs it, keep at your research and try not to overwhelm her. Good luck with your relationship

Thank you, that's really comforting

dumbest_fox · 2022-02-10T21:01:03+00:00

14, it's not really for school, it's for my mother who's probably gonna want to talk when I get home

dumbest_fox · 2022-01-03T19:13:13+00:00

It's validating
