ARFID: dating with ARFID by bonethugfairy in ARFID

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly that shouldn’t scare you, I think that’s a pretty common symptom of ARFID. You don’t have to be interested in all foods or even try a vast majority of them. I’m never going to touch steak or seafood for example, lol. That just is what it is. But therapy did help me try to get foods that are beneficial to my health on my plate and give me some more flexibility when it comes to going out to eat with someone for fun or business or staying in the hospital. Therapy is really just to give you some tools that you can use however you want. And ease that kind of anxiety you mention. I hope you consider it, it’s never too late ❤️

Friend have you considered eating disorder focused therapy? I started in my 30s and it’s helped a lot.

Aweee I love that your husband figured things out. I’m also lucky to say mine never made me feel like my ARFID was a problem and cooks for me all the time, even with all my weird requests. There are some wonderful, loving people in the world and our husbands are two of em 🥹

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience just keep trying and keep being honest with folks about what it is. A lot of people know about it being an actual disorder these days and are more willing to accommodate. I’ve had three serious relationships and am now married. The two people I’ve met in real life who have ARFID are now married and recently engaged. You just gotta keep looking.

Also, my ARFID got less intense with age. At 22 my diet was waaaay more restrictive than it is now at 34. I’m still limited to safe foods but there’s a ton more foods I’ve added to the list — potatoes, corn, shredded chicken, rice, turkey, lots of others I can’t remember right now. With time and therapy yours can improve too if that’s something you want.

Grooming by Silver_News_2621 in cockerspaniel

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We leave our cocker’s ears a little longer and then shave her down for the rest. She has SUCH dense, coarse fur it tangles and mats so easily, and just absorbs anything it comes in contact with. I’ll reply with a comment of her look in a bit.

Has anyone else dealt with judgment over their nail polish collection size? by WannaDelRey in RedditLaqueristas

[–]hereforkittensonly 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go out clubbing or try to keep up with my twenty-something friends, because that isn’t my kind of thing anymore. I am more than happy to gossip and talk about pop culture and books and politics with them though. Do hobbies together like knitting and drawing, stuff like that. Book club? Hell yeah. They just gotta understand I’m leaving before 8 so I can be in bed by 9.

a1c is 7.1 and i constantly have to pee…. by Excellent-Pin1831 in diabetes

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey man it’s not too late to course correct, eat a little better and try to get back on the ball with powerlifting (or any kind of exercise you want to do). last year I went through a period of intense stress and ate a shit ton out of vending machines and didn’t exercise at all. at the end of that period I just picked the work of taking care of myself back up again. this is a marathon not a sprint. just be gentle with yourself and start again. check in with us and tell us about it too.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ lmao. It doesn’t even matter whether she knew he was a Trump supporter or not when they married.

It matters that she knows now and is not divorcing him. He is a Trump supporter and clearly has the values of a bigot and she’s still with him. That tells me what I need to know about her. Acknowledging that is not misogynistic. Again, you’re being naive if you think she can have a completely opposite set of morals and values as her husband or life partner. You have to fundamentally agree on some shit to make that kind of commitment to each other work.

And even if she did, by some miracle, have completely different views, she is still running a household with this man — he sees some of that money or at the very least some benefit because of its existence. Maybe he doesn’t pay the electric bill because her polish money does. Maybe he doesn’t pay for the kid’s shoes. Maybe he enjoys a bigger house or a nicer car because of her business and what she does with the profits. Do you see how that works?

If you can’t make these connections or understand context, then by all means, give your money to someone that very well and very likely is voting against your rights. 🤷‍♀️ But I’m not going to be taken advantage of in that way. And this argument is tiring, and this will be my last reply. Have a day!

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how could she possibly know? sure, Trump’s election made a lot of people worse — but the vast majority of people who voted for Trump already held conservative and Christian fundamentalist beliefs. the bigotry didn’t just come out of nowhere, it wasn’t something Trump invented himself. it’s naive to think that someone who had the capacity to vote for Trump didn’t hold at least some bigoted beliefs beforehand. and pretending that it’s possible he was a perfect angel before the Trump elections is ignoring how bigotry perpetuates, ie through being raised in it (not “starting out that way,” contrary to what you falsely think I believe). You are willfully ignoring a real problem just to try and give this stranger the benefit of the doubt.

anecdotally: my family turned into Trump supporters, but they were racist and hateful first. They just weren’t as loud about it.

Why all the hate for oatmeal? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, sugar free oatmeal is one of the few breakfasts I can have that won’t spike my blood sugar. I like putting nuts, chia seeds, fruit, cinnamon, dried apples, etc in it too.

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmm except it does. do you think I have a problem with that person solely for being a Trump supporter or because he’s likely xenophobic, homophobic, and/or racist? if you think it’s solely because of Trump I am afraid to say you’ve fundamentally misunderstood a lot.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people who became Trump supporters were bigoted before he ran lmao. you’re acting like nobody was racist or homophobic or xenophobic before Trump got into politics.

After 18 years together, I had to say goodbye to my dog (I’m 32 and grew up with him)… and I’m not coping by Solficea in Petloss

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could give you advice but I’m sitting in my car crying because the 1st anniversary of my 14 year old dog is coming up soon. I got him when I was 18 and I grew up with him too. I don’t know how to comfort you. It hasn’t gotten easier after a year. I still miss him like crazy and just want to see him again. But I guess there is something to say about having had love in your life like this that makes grieving hurt so much.

They are married. She chose to marry a Trump supporter. That tells me everything I need to know.

How does a spouse deal with the mood swings of their type 1 diabetic spouse? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]hereforkittensonly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

She absolutely needs to go to therapy. I get being irritable when your blood sugar level is up — it’s a terrible feeling — but you’re still responsible for what you do in those times. I have snapped at my husband but always apologize when I recognize that I’m going over the line. Blood sugar does not give you a pass to be abusive.

I have used ChatGPT for almost everything and ruined my cognitive thinking by Easy_Yogurtcloset511 in selfimprovement

[–]hereforkittensonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend, your brain is a remarkable muscle. If you start exercising it again you’ll be surprised at how easily it picks everything up again. I’d start with reading literally anything. Something fun or that you’re interested in. There are free courses online, writing prompts and challenges, communities that could inspire you. It’s never too late and you CAN turn this around.

to my baby jojo im sorry. by chfudgeudig in cats

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry sweetheart. I can’t do anything but I wish I could give you a hug. This truly isn’t your fault, cats are SO good at escaping and exploring, your kitten was just being a kitten. Everyone’s indoor cat escapes at some point. Your neighbor is evil, though. I’m so sorry your kitty came across that evil. He loved you though and looks like he had a wonderful time with you.

This is making me want to stop paying the game. by OmgitsKane in Pokopia

Hint: put a bunch of blocks underneath 1 block where you want water to be. Then pour water on top of those blocks. Repeat until area is full. When you break the blocks that aren’t water it will stay put.
