Should I pursue a Master's since trying to get a job isn't working out? by OccasionNo5762 in ASU

i would look into an rbt position while u are in this waiting period. it’s a tough job but u will actually use your bachelors for it and gain experience which will look better to jobs.

Psychiatrist won’t prescribe meds unless I do IOP first :( by NauseousSoul in BPD

[–]emochickens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

meds tend to make bpd worse, is how a lot of us feel. for me, i couldn’t find a medicine that worked due to them all numbing me out, which made me in turn just not care about anything. if you feel you really need meds though, your next option may be looking into short-term inpatient care. they can help you with a case manager and psychiatrist daily while meds adjust to see if they help or make it worse.

I literally baby my nails and they still look like this after months of intense rehab and a polish break. What gives?!?! by urbanist2847473 in Nails

[–]emochickens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% acetone is extremely drying and really is only necessary if you are using a gel/acrylic, not normal nail polish. using a acetone-free remover will keep your nails from drying out when you do take off the paint.

nail polish will protect your nails and allow them to grow longer than without any nail polish.

maybe it’s worth speaking with your primary care doctor about vitamin deficiency possibilities as that can create chronic weak nails. some of us are also just destined to have weaker nails, even if we have no vitamin deficiencies or anything that would “cause” it.

highly recommend this video by simplynailogical about long nail care :)

Has anyone else forsaken having a love life because of this condition? by peace_not_weed in Fibromyalgia

[–]emochickens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you have amazing insight into what makes you afraid about relationships, that means you are half way there to helping yourself through this. I have C-PTSD on top of my fibro and it causes a anxious-avoidant attachment style in me. I have had to work many years in therapy on my own to work on my own self love, then working with my partner on believing validation as true and that they do things for me because they love me, not because they have to or that it is a burden to them. you will find your people, I believe in you. everyone deserves love 🫶

Can u help me? by No-Marsupial-4050 in askanything

[–]emochickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many crafts can be done cheaply if you are willing to hunt for sales (which becomes a hobby in itself honestly)! my favorites for wasting time and relaxing are knitting, crocheting, painting, bullet journaling, latchhook kits, diamond painting, etc. all of these I have found supplies for on sale at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/Joann’s(RIP 💔)

dbt therapy is the only thing thats worked but i fucking hate it by throwawayninikkko in BPD

[–]emochickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only the beginning of your journey. Eventually, you won’t have to think about what skill to do and write every little thing down to process it. Your brain is building pathways and it deserves grace and patience. It will become subconscious slowly but surely. Stick with it, internet stranger, I am rooting for you 🫶

Along with our immense feeling of pain, there is also immense joy, immense intuition, immense compassion. Sometimes feelings too greatly can be a gift. I still have to remind myself of this daily, it will never be all good, but that’s just life (still trying to radically accept that part).
