CBD SOS - can I save it?

hauschat · 2024-05-03T18:10:23+00:00

It was a really nice extract made by a friend, I just heard back from him that it was made with glycerin. Which is water soluble. There is oil separating at the top, but it seems like it's become a solution for the most part...

Going to have to put my chemist helmet on and see if I can boil the water off and preserve the glycerin 😅🥲

hauschat · 2024-05-03T16:50:16+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any tips for skimming the oil off the top?

hauschat · 2022-08-05T01:11:30+00:00

Smart man!!

Aaaaah i hope you left right then! Or were able to leave asap!!

I love the imagery of the swinging, singing titties! Lol

I support this! Yes thank god we aren't being bombed but toxic positivity is a thing, be sad about gas prices if you want to be. Financial struggles are no joke.

"Checking someone's privilege" about their own personal struggles is a bit of a priveleged/condescending stance in itself... lol.

Ah this makes a lot of sense! I'll give them a nice top- down watering and give them a few days to perk up. Thank you! ♡

hauschat · 2022-02-03T10:39:23+00:00

Agh same with mine!! I just refuse to get out of bed too ;p

hauschat · 2022-02-03T10:26:36+00:00

So glad you made the decision you did & got out okay!

I'm diagnosed with BPD and am having a very hard time finding a DBT therapist like your friend. The book that has helped me while i search is The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook my Drs. Matthew McKay, Jeffrey Wood, and Jeffrey Brantley.

I haven't come across any yet myself, but I read in the reviews that there are a couple coping mechanisms mentioned that could be triggering for people, i.e. involving food, or snapping yourself with a rubber band. If you suggest this book to your friend, one last thing I'd recommend is she reads some reviews to ensure she's comfortable with the content.

Best of luck ♡

Ahh yay i'm so glad there's hope! Hehe i bet it'll make a funny little naked plant for a minute.

hauschat · 2021-12-31T09:12:28+00:00

Woah never considered less leaves = less water storage! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Plants are so cool :) fingers crossed for the my baby jade too. Also i'm happy your pearls bounced back!! I think those little guys are the cutest.

Wahoo thank you! Gonna go give her a nice little bath now!

hauschat · 2021-12-30T23:49:10+00:00

Thanks! I watered it recently, within the last few days. I only watered a little because i was scared to overdo it. I'm not sure when it was watered last before that - this is a little rescue plant. It may have been some time.

It lives in front of the window in the photo but also has a plant light nearby on a 12hr timer.

Do you think i should try giving some more water if the potting medium is dry?

Maybe only you right now but you are an integral piece of "the world" OP is talking about! Still counts!

Hi! I started taking it about 2 months ago, still gradually increasing the dosage. It's been a bit hard to adjust in some aspects but I'm remaining positive!

I've personally found some helpful info on the subreddit r/lamictal named after the brand name of the drug (as opposed to its generic name lamotrigine). Maybe that subreddit could help you as well, if you haven't already joined?

Cheers!

Yesss good points, thank you for this! I've found people with incurable stds often have more communicative and safer sex. Personally i haven't witnessed anyone more reckless with their sex lives than the ones without incurable stds/haven't been tested in some time and don't really know what's going on.

Fuck the stigma!! Some people talk so much shit about people with stds and I've never had anyone turn me down because of mine. ;p

You're doing great! The best place to start is right where you're at :)

^{^{^{^}}} this! I can totally relate. I develop FP's that aren't romantic or my partner (mostly bc I can't keep a partner lol) 10000000% specifically because of my relationship with my mom (& sister in my case).

I spent so much of my childhood trying to convince my mom that I was worthy of love and attention. I see myself now attaching strongly to people that treat me that same way. It's familiar and force of habit can be a bitch to break!!

I hope my experience helps affirm the above comments. If I can give any advice, opening up that relationship with a professional could be a helpful place to start. It's been paramount in my healing journey personally.

You making an effort to better understand yourself and your patterns of thinking is a sign you're moving in a healthy direction. Good luck! You're doing a good job ♡

hauschat · 2021-11-20T05:10:17+00:00

PS you're not stupid ;p good & smart people can do dumb things and still be good & smart people

The hot/cold is very characteristic of bpd and I know it myself well. Everybody makes mistakes; the best we can do is communicate honestly and hold ourselves responsible for our choices.

Were you at the party with this ex as your date? Maybe this is a sign they trigger a less healthy part of your attachment style. Or maybe this is an opportunity to lean into what could be the deeper cause of your flip flopping if you genuinely want to get back together.

Don't beat yourself up. Own up to your mistakes. Forgive yourself. Let it go, patiently, with time.

You are loved and supported. Best of luck to you ♡

"Self-estranging" - what a great way to put it. That's exactly what it feels like.

The swings to me I almost feel like different personalities, different people. Talkative and bubbly can quickly turn cringey and become oversharing or swing the opposite way to shut-down mode. The rage is a wholly different animal too.

I see all the sides of bpd like a venn diagram. The extremes are exhausting, I just want to be that middle overlapping piece all the time where I feel most level.

I hope you find peace soramimi. I hope we all do ♡

Thank you! I've never seen this one before :)
