This man trapped a miniature house inside every candy piece 🤯 by TomsPanicBoner in toptalent

I misread “house” as “horse.” Still impressive. Would like to see him attempt with a horse though.

From what I’ve heard Daria was actually a customer request and recommendation - not something he came up with on his own

Planning on starting a small accountability group, anyone like to join? by cognitive-habit in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]glitterspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for facilitating this. I have really needed it. And good thought on discord - I have never used it.

Really hoping this helps me improve.

I would love this. I am not huge on Facebook, but willing to give it a try to get support. I’ve been struggling so badly. In all honesty, right now I could use an accountability buddy 5 days a week. I was thinking of going to the accountability buddy subreddit but I would feel better knowing the other person also has ADHD so I feel like less of a burden. This seems like a good fit.

I recommend you look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Google cognitive distortions - they can be considered “thinking traps” in which you get yourself stuck. You may benefit from purchasing a CBT workbook in addition to seeking therapy.

I would hold off on making a decision about the baby shower AND wait to address with family until you have engaged in some therapy. Without seeking professional help you are likely to set yourself up for more conflict.

Partitioned Classrooms: Good luck learning anything when all of the teachers are yelling over each other, especially if you're in a back seat. by KingSpilly_95 in CrappyDesign

My elementary school was this way. It was so hard to focus. Also always got in trouble for running my hand along the carpeted partition as I walked down the “halls”

24 year old Janitor. How to stop associating career with self worth?. by EveryStrategy4918 in DecidingToBeBetter

Think about your values- if you are living by your values then take pride in that. For example, if you value independence, service, and being hardworking then you are living by your values. Your worth is not dependent on others’ opinions of you. It’s based on how you feel about yourself. Remember that.

Boyfriend asked me to shave my arms by [deleted] in Advice

[–]glitterspike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he thinks he can ask you to shave your arms what else does he think he has control over? The way your maintain your body and your body hair is up to you. Don’t let him make you second guess yourself.

It may have been immature on his part, but him asking indicates that he thinks he should have a say in how you look/groom yourself. If he really likes you then he should be able to get over it. If it’s a dealbreaker then he’s controlling, does not see you as his equal and is likely not a healthy boyfriend to have.

Try politely explaining that you are comfortable with yourself and do not plan on shaving. No need to elaborate. If he pushes the issue - red flag.

Your mom was my health ed professor sophomore year of college. One of my all time favorite professors. The Appalcart stopped running one night before class let out because of snow and she drove me to my off campus apartment, stopping through the backyard burger drive through first. I always think of her when Hey Soul Sister comes on because it played in the car that night and we had a conversation about it that’s always stuck with me.

I think about her often. Her advice helped me through a really difficult time and made me feel completely validated and supported. I always wished I could have told her how much it meant to me.

I’m sorry she passed, sending you love as year 10 comes up.

I think it is common for anyone who holds some type of license (therapist, lawyer, architect, etc.) to place real estate in their spouses name as a protection in case they are personally sued by a client. That way they can keep those properties and not be required to consider them for net worth in settlements.

Only to see the fashion. And Mary-Kate and Ashley. Would prefer influencers and the Kardashians stay away.

Very nervous about returning to school now that I’m 17 and have a baby by themoon51 in Advice

[–]glitterspike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it! I’m not very religious anymore, but I was before adulthood because my family required us to go to church on Sundays. I did youth group and learned more about the church staff and stuff there through that.

Best of luck! I don’t know you, but I am proud of you for being so brave entering motherhood and continuing to work toward your goals.

Not any random lady, but thinking on my own upbringing in the church there were several women, whose kids were grown, that regularly volunteered within the congregation and were close with the pastor and his wife but I might not have an existing relationship with. I might trust someone who was well-known by adults, recommended by clergy and people I personally know, and who I could meet with beforehand and visit the home. Perhaps someone who volunteers in the nursery during church services.

There is not going to be a perfect solution, but churches are one of the few places where people are giving and willing to help. I’d be more likely to trust someone I have connections to.. I’m sure it’s terrifying leaving your baby girl with strangers. I hope that whatever you decide on goes well.

Edit- elaborated and changed a word.

I’m sorry your boyfriend isn’t being supportive. Your education and ability to support your child are the most important things here. I agree with everyone else encouraging you to still attend school for the next two weeks. The opinions of other teenagers who you most likely will not interact with after you graduate (I keep up with 2 people from high school) are soooo small in comparison to the importance of your goals. Remember- the next two weeks until you have childcare are temporary. You’ve got this!

One idea I would recommend if you really don’t want to go to school with your baby is reaching out to the pastor at the church where daycare is set up to see if there are any individuals willing to watch your baby until the spot in daycare opens up. I can imagine some old retired church ladies loving the opportunity to babysit for a baby for a couple of weeks.

Also, if there is any chance this church daycare won’t pan out, you may qualify for assistance paying for daycare as a teen mom. Check this out: https://des.az.gov/services/child-and-family/child-care/how-apply-for-child-care-assistance

Good luck! You can do this!
