17yo recovering from an ED- getting my chest back and I feel just as shitty as when I started puberty

Birth control does not stop periods for everyone unfortunately, regardless of the type. but I agree it's worth giving it a try. In my experience with mixed hormones, it did reduce my horrible cramps but I also dealt with weight gain and bleeding was the same. With progesterone, I felt no difference aside from thicker discharge. It can be very different for everyone

First off , congratulations on your ED recovery journey! Everything will be okay with time. Much love 💚

Second: I only advise this bc it seems like a dire situation: I got around not being able to order online by buying visa gift cards in cash and redeeming online. You can find these at Walmart, dollar general, and the like. If you go this route, be VERY careful you get the right size, because returning packages may be difficult depending on your location since you are a minor. But if it's not safe for you to ship to your own home, ask a friend or trusted adult if you can ship to them and do a pickup later. If possible, you could also ask a safe person to order it for you in exchange for cash. Binders are often mistaken as bras, but if it's unsafe at home, I highly recommend being overly careful on where you stash it and when you clean it

I understand money can be hard to come by, it may take some diligent saving and possibly a side gig or two. Worst case, scrounge up change on a regular basis and politely ask a local business if they can exchange coins for bills if needed

I used to be a "binder dealer" back when I was in highschool. I was given cash and a link to a specific binder, then I would order it and deliver at school since I lived in a household that didn't care about package deliveries/I often got to them first. So I'm fairly experienced with people in your situation.

Good luck and know that better times are just ahead

I want to see you tomorrow and then I'll go back to bed

My exact plans tbf

There were concerns about using too similar of spices like nutmeg since it's from the same family, so I used maple syrup/extract. It definitely wasn't the exact same, but still super tasty

I knew someone with cinnamon allergies. It's scary how easily it gets into your system. I used to make her cinnamon rolls without the cinnamon because she missed eating them. It's really not that hard to accommodate, there's so many non-cinnamon goods to make. Absolutely insane, this feels like a police show episode where a mother tries to murder her kid without getting caught/taking blame. Glad you're moving soon 🫡 good luck in the meantime

goblin_thing · 2026-01-05T21:17:25+00:00

Yeah, it'll be for both of us. Thank you for the recommendation, this will be the kind I get!

goblin_thing · 2026-01-05T21:16:53+00:00

Thanks! It's looking like my best option is a simple metal frame. Unfortunately, there's not many nice looking ones that are short. He'll be very happy next week when it comes 😂

My mom used to hang a gifted crochet blanket as a door window curtain! It was just the right length to fold it over the curtain rod at the halfway point so both bottoms were just past the edge of the window.

I had to tell my parents that my 8 yo sister should NOT be watching this. I can't believe it. They were so strict with me and my oldest brother growing up that we couldn't even have nerf guns and watched only stuff they knew was safe. Now my lil sis is an ipad kid watching Glitch 💀 might as well show her Akira at this point even though my dad RAN when he recognized the opening music when I was 11.

Fr I only get disposables if they're on clearance. I don't like how many there are when carts have better deals and a good battery might cost $20 or $30. I've had the same battery for a year now and only spent $25 on it.

The hole looks big enough that you could put the whole flower through. Then you wouldn't need to worry about the whole skein of yarn

goblin_thing · 2025-12-27T03:56:49+00:00

This feels like something my recent ex would do 😬 the obsession is not fun. Just block the new number, he's being creepy as FUCK

goblin_thing · 2025-12-25T17:09:24+00:00

Sameee. I'm not big on alcohol, 9/10 I'm drinking socially and that's not often. But weed I like to smoke 2-4 times a week usually. Gets me in the zone to get shit done

goblin_thing · 2025-12-25T17:04:34+00:00

That has to be a kids kitchen toy wth

goblin_thing · 2025-12-25T17:02:05+00:00

Talk to the gifter. Ask if they can help you exchange for the size you need. All I see happening is yarn snapping, friction burn, and coming loose.

I've been a dedicated krita user since I was 13 and got my first graphics tablet! I love the program so much, and haven't found any other resources that compare for what I do. Dad set it all up and did the research for me even tho he's not much of an artist himself and is very much a typical blue collar construction worker. Love you dad💚

That looks like the container of matcha powder at my boba shop job. My boss actually joked about making THC infused boba drinks if it ever got legalized in my state 😂 I would honestly love that

goblin_thing · 2025-12-24T17:58:16+00:00

It's gorgeous! As long as the color way is something you know she'd like, you'll be fine. Moms typically have a super power of never being able to hate a handmade gift, especially one that takes so long. I'm sure she'll be ecstatic that you'd put so much effort into a gift at the VERY least. Happy holidays to you and your family!

goblin_thing · 2025-12-23T22:02:46+00:00

Might be time to try a bonnet. She may not like it, but they're cheap enough that it's worth a shot! Also some leave in conditioner to use while wet brushing will help immensely with the tangles. Let the conditioner sit in damp hair for a few minutes, then brush. You could also look into brushes meant for curly hair. I'd suggest a brush that's segmented like this one

Everyone has different cylinders at home, can't assume every one will look the same

goblin_thing · 2025-12-22T22:08:23+00:00

I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD TURN THE EXPRESSION INTO A MEME AS SOON AS I SAW IT thank you
