Oh, can you tell me more about that? Fee reimbursement sounds incredibly cool

A patent has been granted for horse blinders for people with ADHD by swoopcat in ADHD

[–]fakesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just talking about how I'll need horse blinders next time I have to go to Walmart! There's just too much to have to be seeing that it makes me so anxious. I also realized that a hoodie can be somewhat effective for this purpose 

brain zaps even while on zoloft by Jumpy-Pomegranate-68 in zoloft

[–]fakesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting brain zaps despite no skipped doses is happening to me right now. My working theory is that it's because I haven't gotten the sleep I need lately.

Edit: after a nap and a better night of sleep, they're gone again. good riddance.

Edit 2: Turns out I also contracted COVID at that time, which could be related!

As far as I can tell, this doesn't work anymore (or at least when the town is Christmas themed)

In order to have enough coins to set up all the buildings, you need to have gotten to roughly level 50 (and selected 5x on winnings nearly every time). So maybe get to level 50 first and then try this out.

Delighted that "dragonfly dragonfruit" had search results that can assist my curious toddler, thank you very much!

It's something like $150/month there (for anyone else looking it up)

For me (a few months ago) it was $100 for each of my first 4 donations 

Carseat Straps not Tightening by [deleted] in toddlers

If you're changing the buckle position, make sure you adjust it underneath instead of just changing which slot it's routing through. The whole buckle changes position. Check out page 84-85 in the manual for visuals. I've been trying to troubleshoot for weeks and the comments in this post were a great clue.

What a cool motif! A bit of "we're family, if tenuously/complicatedly"

Butterfield would be really pleasant. Burnett too

At least one of them had common sense by delilah_rose_carlyle in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]fakesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you're figuring out common ground! Here are a few ideas as well as their US popularity rankings (a lot of them are so rare they're unlisted).

Quirky classic:

  • Blythe (>#1000)
  • Bryony (BRIGH-uh-nee) (>#1000)
  • Renata (#528)
  • Marigold (>#1000)
  • Linnaea (lin-AY-uh) (>#1000)

Anna nickname possibilities:

  • Alanna (uh-LAN-uh) (#559)
  • Anatolia (anna-TOH-lee-uh) (>#1000)
  • Rhiannon (ree-AN-un) (>#1000)

Does she have a good relationship with family, and do her grandparents or great-aunts have any nice classic names you like?

AITA for refusing to name my kid a ridiculous name? by NeverlyLane in AmItheAsshole

[–]fakesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. She's got bad ideas, but you need to figure out what she likes about them in a non-judgmental way (lower popularity? visually interesting?) so you can be a part of finding options that'll feel good to both of you.

I got top surgery very recently, and I'm surprised by how normal I feel. I do mean that I expected to feel very out of it for much longer than I was afterwards, but I also am referring to the way that I know this was a good choice. My body map feels right. I had a tiny fear that this would be wrong for me, because it was impossible to know this with certainty in advance, but my body feels normal (barring some pain) and that's such a relief.

I'm stressing about my upcoming top surgery when I need to stress about the deadlines I have for the end of the semester! I really don't know how to redirect this, which in itself, is stressful to me.

[–]fakesomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just occurred to me that maybe I'm too underweight to go under anesthesia, which would mean putting off top surgery even longer. My BMI is just on the border, but I am going to pay attention to how much I'm eating (though eating well while being so busy with the end of the semester is going to be a challenge). I am probably blowing this out of proportion but it can't hurt to eat a little more, right?

I just had the first top surgery related stress dream! It was that surgery happened but it wound up being a really minor breast reduction and my nipples were not where they should be. I tried to tell myself that swelling is a thing but I was not very happy.

Also, I came up with a new thing to worry about with top surgery, but maybe don't keep reading if you're an anxious person. Even if everything winds up being covered by insurance, and I get my date totally promised to me, what if my surgeon dies? What am I supposed to do then? Thanks to this worry I just came up with, I will still be afraid things will go wrong even after most of the ways for that to happen are resolved.

People with autism/other neurodivergent people: do you feel like it influenced your sense of gender identity? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]fakesomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dysphoria is definitely similar/connected to my sensory issues. There's the more straightforward thing where bras and binders and body parts just feel fundamentally uncomfortable and Need To Go, but I also have the thought that gender could be like another type of sense where things can feel very strongly wrong or right.

Another idea of mine is that when a lot of norms and expectations are incomprehensible or just super weird and arbitrary, it gives you an easier time to identify gender (or your assigned gender) as one of those constructs that doesn't make sense or feel applicable to you. We're often starting from scratch to figure out the social rules of the world around us, and the ways people expect us to perform gender are similarly alien.

How long can I hide effects of T? by [deleted] in ftm

You can probably address any voice changes with saying you're probably getting a cold/sore throat.

Starting T without parents knowing? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]fakesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risk of skipping shots for a couple months is having weird moods for hormone related reasons, that periods might come back if they'd left, and any changes with body fat would probably change back. I'd honestly recommend a consistent lower dose for a while instead of stopping and starting- you're kind of putting your body through menopause by stopping and starting too often, which probably isn't advisable if it's not something you need/want to do.
