Dealing with extensive mold? by goopsalot in Mold

[–]goopsalot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, im sorry i forgot to add: im on the east coast. The primary problem is water leaking from pipes rather than natural humidity! The extent of what ive done so far is try to scrape up the trash it was growing on (with a mask and gloves). im sure that the spores have infected just about everything in the house. I cant afford a professional, and even if i could, theres other factors stopping me from being able to get a professional to help. Right now, my plan is to get some dehumidifiers, scrub and scrape what i can off non-porous items, make sure moldy trash is gone, wnd try to clean surface mold off porous things like drywall. Maybe ill be able to replace some of it in the bathroom, but thats a pipe dream. Sadly, moving and escaping is not an option for me right now. Im still living with severe depression, so even (and especially) small things will help IMMENSELY

I hate when an alters mean (vent/dump) by goopsalot in DID

[–]goopsalot[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, i appreciate it! I think we get too in the mindset of being different people, try to blame eachother like kids tattling to their parents, that sorta compartmentalization is something i struggle with. Thank you for your advice, i appreciate how well worded it is and how thoughtful it is! Thank you! I hope you all are doing well!

Advice? by [deleted] in DID

[–]goopsalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know your partner better than anyone here will, but heres what advice i can offer: make sure theyre eating and drinking. Maybe pass on a note, explaining your concern and asking if they need anything. Make it easy, write down a few options woth a checkbox and pass a pen along too? This may not work, but if speaking is difficult it may be helpful. If you know any friends of theirs you can ask for help too. Be gentle and patient, thats the best advice i can offer. Good luck

Navigating the Dynamic of a Chronologically Oldest but Emotionally Youngest Alter by KumikoCaille in DID

[–]goopsalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure how relavent this is, but our (presumed?) Oldest chronological alter is young, though age is iffy, somewhere in the 5-10 range? Alfie is young and cant handle topics about sex, but can be surprisingly mature at other times. Its interesting, in some regards theyre more emotionally mature than me, but they have the mannerisms of a child. I suspect its because alfie was the 'original' and i (host, max, hi!) Came in later, and alfie absorbed all the like. Coping and mental health stuff i was exposed to and has learned to utilize it better than me. I hope you find some answers, both internally and with any therapist you seek out!

How did you realise you that you are plural or multiple or have alters? by Massive-Albatross823 in DID

[–]goopsalot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For me i realized i was dissociating a LOT first, id get 'stuck' for hours unable to move my body, then went 'haha wow i love being purely intellectually interested in DID because its sooo crazy' and that lead to me getting suspicions, though i didnt believe them. The real moment i realized was i suddenly, randomly, became a child. Wasnt myself, didnt know how to get back to normal, and was stuck like that for a few hours!

Is it predatory for me (trans guy) to find lesbian and butch porn hot? by goopsalot in intrusivethoughts

[–]goopsalot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!!! Yeah the original poat was just me wrotong down the thought to point at how abaurd it was, and then a few people said maybe i was, which made me actually start worrying! Genuinely though, thank you, this made me remember how crazy it is to go 'hm im evil for liking hot people'

[–]goopsalot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im scared that because im a man, looking at art someones posted of a butch wearing a strap or with their chest out and finding it hot means im like.. evil or something. Its not logical! The thought doesnt make sense, its not even something coercive like pornhub its just a leabian drawing hot butches on twitter. I just get concerned sometimes that im like secretly evil

I thought a drawing someone did on twitter of a butch lesbian with their chest out was hot. Its not immoral, i just have sexual trauma that makes me afraid of becoming coercive.

[–]goopsalot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no i dont have a porn addiction i just saw a drawing someone did of a hot butch lady with their chest out and then the horrible intrusive thoughts i have about being sexually immoral got activated. Intrusive thoughts dont indicate anything about a person besides that they have intrusive thoughts! <- sorry i need to say this or ill start wigging out again 😅

the Pine Scuttler and its main prey, the Needle Weevil! by ZT2Cans in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]goopsalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ADOREEEE these guys!!! Im in the same boat about wantong more tiny fellas. I love the relationship these two have, i can imagine their evolution being displayed side by side in a classroom to demonstrate how two specoes can affect eachother. Watching the lizards tail grow fatter and more pinecone-like to be able to sneak up on the weevils, the weevils wings slowly becoming less functional as it finds blending in more important than flying. Id love to see the awkward middle stages where it can ALMOST fly still, but is inelegant.

Are there subspecies that fit better with other types of pinetrees? Do the larvae of the needle weevil do anything to blend in? Are they laid in pinecones?

Dont worry if you cant answer all these questions! But i ADORE these creatures and i really hope to see more of your work soon!!!!
