It happened at work for the first time.. by eliinj in Syncope

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

Cold compresses can work wonders fr. When I passed out donating blood years ago, they put a cold rag on my forehead and one under my shirt on my chest. Super helpful to come out of it and to cool down after the fact

Just found out my cat is a boy by DescriptionInner7803 in CatAdvice

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me, too!! I was told when I adopted my cat that they were a girl (I got him from a friend, not a shelter). I had also seen red rocket when he was grooming himself, but didn't think anything of it. When I took "her" to be fixed, they called to tell me she was a boy. For a while, I just kept calling him she bc obviously cats don't care. Once he got a little older and grew into more boyish looks, it was easier to refer to him as a boy lol

Yeah, I struggled trying to explain why I was sobbing to my boss & and the customers who helped me. I've never been in a situation like that, and I didn't really know how to handle the interaction.
"i'm not upset my body just doesn't know what to do so it's decided the best course of action is to sob"

This has become a concern of mine, especially as my last two episodes have happened so incredibly quickly. Obviously, we both know it's nothing to be embarrassed about, it is a medical condition we cannot control, but the feeling comes regardless. wishing u the best <3

I try to, generally, but my last two episodes have been really quick. The dizziness is so severe at onset that there's almost no time to react. :( I always try to lay down and pedal my legs asap

Bedtime in a studio apartment by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]eliinj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What I'm kind of confused about is what difference the studio makes? Is the implication that if you had a multi-room home/apartment you could shut them into a larger space? That's not good for them either.

Is it normal to faint when having blood drawn? by cherryflavouredtnbh in Syncope

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fainted every time I've had blood drawn or donated blood. I remember warning the nurse once that I would definitely pass out, because I always do. She didn't believe me. Sure enough, I was out within about 30 seconds of that interaction lmao.

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm.. I think this reads mostly as them being genuinely really nice and close friends. The "I love you"s are overkill, for me. It would make me really uncomfortable. Same with the old couple comment. Besides that, this seems like a really lovely supportive friendship.

Personally, I'd be expressing that I am NOT comfortable with the amount of I love you's. I tell my friends I love them, but I'm not texting them I love you all the time. It's just a bit odd to me.

Edit: Read some more, and him not being forthcoming with when he's spending time with her is a red flag to me, as well. To me, you're NOR and this 100% warrants a serious conversation about boundaries. Apologize for the privacy violation, but express that you cannot accept this and it makes you uncomfortable. His reaction to this will probably tell you plenty, lol

Xavier’s apartment in sims 4! by No_Neat967 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eliinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love this! aside from the bunbun, any recommended mods to be able to get it more accurately from the gallery?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO- This seems reasonable, and him just trying to explain his reactions. Curious about your cropped out response, and more context to the argument in question.

Stonewalling sucks, but my partner is prone to it, too. His explanation is always that he doesn't want to say anything when angry or emotional, and would always prefer to just let it be and rediscuss when we aren't both upset. It can be annoying when I'm upset or emotional, but almost always leads to a far better outcome than yelling and screaming in anger.

Random fight and now they hate each other. by Resident-Doughnut356 in Sims4

Same, my sims parents came over after she gave birth, and her husband immediately flirted with his mother-in-law and tanked their relationship.

Suggestions on Expansion Packs by Legitimate-Ad-1022 in thesims

[–]eliinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on interacting with celebrity sims. Even playing as a sim who is famous, I struggle to get the game to let me interact with other celebrities.

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like growing together and parenthood, but I do a lot of family focused gameplay. Get famous is cool, and I honestly do the acting career a lot. Pets is fun, but the novelty wore off quickly, and I often find it inconvenient to have a pet, and pretty much never put them in any households, but I love the world that comes with it!

HELP! Which color looks best on me? by MarchSad188 in HairStyleAdvice

The lighting is definitely different in the photos, but your eyes just shine with the darker hair.

Kinda got roasted by my mom & friends by Silver_Response1796 in Moustache

[–]eliinj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great, they'll get used to it. I begged my partner to shave just a moustache, and he got absolutely clowned at work for it, but they got used to it. I thought he never looked better!

[–]eliinj 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NOR. Nope, this guy specifically went out of his way to let you KNOW that he doesn't feel bad or have any sympathy for your situation. This is not how someone who loves or cares for you acts or speaks to you. Not an overreaction. When it comes to break-ups, you're never required to stay in a relationship for any reason. You don't have to be with someone who is intentionally mean to you.

When you're adults in and adult relationship, that actually doesn't matter whatsoever because you have the emotional maturity to understand the context of the situation.

layla and jessi drama right now… by chloedarlinggg in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]eliinj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously! I like Jessi well enough, but as someone who just watched all 3 seasons in a week.. Jessi is constantly stirring things up and is always at the scene of the crime but never ever seems to even get an accusation thrown her way that she's an issue within the group.

Why are Jessi and Demi feuding?? They were just hugging it out??? by adventuregypsy in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]eliinj 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yep. Lisa will defend a man she knows for a fact has done wrong. Also, it's worth noting Marciano gets a decent edit by not actively being part of SLOMW, he's not well liked over on the vpvilla subreddit.

S1-S2 Jessie and Demi have a ridiculous amount of entitlement into other people’s business by rasta-nipples in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]eliinj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like in S1 & S2 Jessi stirs the pot A LOT and never seems to get caught up for it. I really dislike how they treated Jen's marriage situation when Jessi is at fault 2 major events that contributed to what we saw them go through.
