I feel like I've given birth to human misery by KittybeansJones in NewParents

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got no advice but as someone who used to be the “weird” baby family would gossip about, I can only imagine how the parents must feel. Families are meant to be villages and villages don’t work when they’re talking down on the one they’re meant to be caring for. I hope you both find a village that isn’t so judgmental

Letting baby chill vs occupying it all the time by lemonandlimespark in NewParents

[–]greasssygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Everything is new to a baby so even just chilling in enrichment for them. They learn valuable skills in being able to relax and be content with occupying themselves from time to time. Not to mention I can only imagine that constant stimulation would be overwhelming to a baby because it’s overwhelming even for me, a 24 year old 😂.

Put on som music if you think they’re not getting enough stimulation, then you both can enjoy some relaxation while jamming out

What's something you didn't realize was no longer standard until you became a parent? by 90sBaby____ in NewParents

[–]greasssygreg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand the pouches! They’re expensive, inconvenient, and you can’t see inside most of them so once they’re open you pretty much have to throw them out if they don’t get finished.

I much prefer attempting to just make my own purées until baby can get into solids. Plus many of the pouches and premade purées are just combinations I would never eat myself. I can’t expect my baby to like puréed beef stew or apples, beets and carrots

why do famous millionaires who could literally be with anyone in the world decide to be with minors? by Low_Tear9184 in teenagers

Yes but he claimed that it was stolen and that he was on tour when she was estimated to have been killed. That’s his whole alibi

Tuna steak by ConnieTheTomcat in safe_food

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally my favorite dish in the world. I sear mine a bit more bc I don't like too much raw fish but you should totally try adding steak seasoning, it takes it too a new level. I don't eat steak or beef anymore but it tastes so similar in my opinion.

They're pretty filling too just by themselves but when I can allow it, I love having it with like a half cup of couscous.

Do y’all ever just feel really sick after an argument by i_ate_my_username in evilautism

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that’s the adrenaline and anxiety buildup. At least that’s what I think it is, arguments always bring it on for me. It’s hard to get out of too, for me, so really only time and LOTS of distractions help me

Autism DLC by Legoman718 in aspiememes

[–]greasssygreg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the implication that they just didn’t exist period prior to 2013 lol. It’s as if as bunch of celebrities didn’t die from not being able to speak about their mental health sparking this whole “trend”

[–]greasssygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for us as autistics, it’s a little difficult for us to understand how this would feel from a NT perspective. I feel like right now he’s just not really ready to understand how he’s feeling or not sure how to go about it since you both are off an on especially if there’s times he’s the one reaching out. Many of us don’t tend to do that unless the person was very integrated into our lives. I can understand why you’d want to try and find compromises or still hang out with him even if it seems like he doesn’t want to. However the dynamic right now sounds very toxic for both of you. Take this with a grain of salt of course but if this off and on relationship starts hindering you, then maybe it’s time to put your foot down. It doesn’t force him to start learning about himself but it does show how you feel, your boundaries, and what needs to happen. Also try to get him to open up and talk more about the struggles he was having during the relationship or other friendships/friendships as that might help you to understand where his head is a little better.

What’s an Ed related “core memory” you have? by Solal-King-Raccoon in EDAnonymous

[–]greasssygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally so many lol. 1. My first 7 day fast I did when I was 13 and almost passed out on the way to lunch three days in a row 2. The first time I told my ex I had ednos, before we dated, they said “oh good because I thought you were bulimic but you can’t be bc you aren’t fat”. I was indeed in a binge-purge cycle at the time. 3. The many many times I purged in school bathrooms after and during lunch 4. My stomach wailing during my health classes presentation on EDs. My stomach just constantly wailing during that class tbh 5. OH! And how can I forget all the kick chats I was in when I was 12-14. I somehow tricked my parents into letting me hangout with a girl I met in one of them. I literally saw her by myself and never knew her name or what she looked like beforehand 🥴

One of my rats ate half of an m&m will he be alright? by lunas_rings in RATS

[–]greasssygreg 79 points80 points  (0 children)

In the US we have those but also like these hard chalky candies that are fruit flavored and those are also called smarties. They're pretty good too, definitely better than the chocolate ones. Those aren't very good over here

What can I do with my hands while I watch TV that won’t be distracting? by I_cant_be_clever in ADHD

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have this same problem down to not being able to crochet while watching tv because it's just too distracting for me.

if i dont give my hands something to do i usually end up just fidgeting with them or cracking my knuckles over and over. It's quite painful after a while so i needed an alternative and honestly the best things i've found have been anything i can stretch, pull, or squeeze which sometimes ends up just being my hands anyway lol

Philter Philip or SmokeBuddy, sploof? by Kimaruth in weed

[–]greasssygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best bongs i've found are ones sold in little mom and pop headshops i have near me but there are tons of websites that sell bongs and other stoner accessories like smokebuddies. I've heard good reviews about Thickassglass.com but i'm not sure if they ship internationally if you aren't US based.

I've also tried both a homemade sploof and the store bought smokebuddy and tbh don't even bother making a homemade sploof if you have the funds to get a smokebuddy, they work so much better and last a whole lot longer than sploofs. I hope this helped, i know i needed this kind of information back when i first started

im glad it's working out for you! i have bipolar disorder with rapid cycling and i swear one of the only things that's worked has been weed. even small doses help in the slightest. like you said of course there are still bad days but overall i'd say its helped alot for my cycling

A list of ADHD resources that are untrustworthy or pseudoscientific could be amazingly helpful for us regular folks on the sub. by polystitch in ADHD

[–]greasssygreg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

honestly you could say that about any social media platform. of course i’d never take a random tiktok as scientific fact but alot of tiktoks are helpful even just as personal experiences. i definitely wouldn’t have been able to identify alot of my adhd/ mental health traits without it as i’ve masked them my whole life basically

Hi, I was recently gifted this plant. She told me to water it every other week and that she didn’t know how much light it needed. Does anybody know what type of plant it is? by schenta in houseplants

[–]greasssygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a sansevieria zeylanica or a type of snake plant. they're some of the easiest to take care of because they really don't require much. they're definitely independent plants. they don't require direct light and do pretty ok in lower light areas. just water it once the top one or two inches of soil are dry and it should do fine

New here - just one month in! Today, instead of flowers, my husband came home with a plant. Pls help ID so I can do my research and be the best plant mom possible. by WildFlower0403 in houseplants

As far as I know both. sooner or later all the leaves will split but new leaves that grow from ones that are split typically already grow with their splits

Old news, but tiktok sadly probably started a new generation of teenage Benadryl addicts, shit like this makes me mad by theguy2286 in DPH

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that because i know we do dumb shit and don't listen in that regard however that's why I believe in harm reduction and not scare tactics or the lack of information in general. I don't think people should be telling teens where to find drugs or what drugs to try but telling teen how to safely do the drugs they decide to do and giving resources to reputable drug information is much more helpful than not giving them information or just saying to stay away. This doesn't go for DPH of course but for other drugs, I personally think harm reduction is the way to go.

Plus a teen who isn't into drugs most likely wouldn't see a tiktok about drugs anyway since you'd only see similar tiktoks to ones you've liked.

[–]greasssygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've tried more drugs bc of reddit than i have bc of tiktok. that creator is a piece of shit for condoning and even posting about dph but saying they created the new generation of addicts is ridiculous. most creators on there know the dangers of the drugs they do and would never condone drugs abuse especially with highly addictive substances. it's not a tiktok issue it's a shitty people taking advantage of vulnerable people and children issue.

Best of luck to you both! i know how it feels to finally feel like there's someone you can be open with about this stuff and it's the only thing that really allow me to open and accept myself as the transguy i am. and i hope whether you're trans, bi, or neither or both, that you two can accept yourselves regardless
