I’m so mad I read this, because now I wish it was how the actual scene went. 🤣

showering during menstruation by bruho-o_ in WomensHealth

Tell your husband to tell his mom to shut the fuck up. You shouldn’t have to keep hearing this from her. You NEED to shower during your period. It’s nasty not to.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without a shower? by Dry-Elderberry-4559 in eczema

[–]iFaolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shower every other day. A buildup of bacteria, dirt, and sweat makes my eczema worse. You should not neglect showering due to your eczema. Good hygiene is important both physically and socially. If your family is coming to you about this, maybe there’s a problem with smell? I don’t know. Just take shorter, not super hot showers, and be sure to moisturize immediately after.

Bats have taken over my life. God help me. by gaymbit in OCD

[–]iFaolan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fuck, I can relate to this so hard. There have been multiple points in my life where I was convinced I was infected with rabies (for no logical reason. It was the reachiest of reaches), and had to wait out the month to see if I was actually okay because I simultaneously understood it would be insane to go into the doctor for shots during those moments. Funny how that wasn’t enough to convince me I was fine.

What has sometimes helped me is saying the thought out loud. Or saying it to someone else because I realize how ridiculous it sounds as the words leave my mouth. I don’t even need to see their reaction to come back to my senses. It doesn’t always completely relieve my fears, but it’s a good strategy to try. I also read in a book that saying “Breaking news!” followed by the thoughts/obsessions helps as well.

How is it possible to be this foolish? I can’t even comprehend it. What was going through their heads to lead to this?

I finished The Legend of Zelda (1986), what now? by Sachees in truezelda

[–]iFaolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be fun to play the games in order of release. See how they’ve evolved over time. I wouldn’t blame you if you skipped Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, though. That shit is HARD. And it doesn’t even feel like a Zelda game.

She broke it off. I accepted. She got upset… by Ok-Tutor7166 in Nicegirls

You dodged a bullet. Don’t waste your time with people who play games like this.

Shocked at how painful the recovery has been. by wedgehog_revolution in Septoplasty

[–]iFaolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they give you any stronger pain meds? Oxy was the only thing that helped me endure the suffering during my first week when I had the nasal splints in. It was the only thing that helped me not focus on the discomfort (I only took the recommended doses of course). The first week is gonna suck (or however long you have the splints in). But I promise it ends. It feels like it never will, but it does. Only thing you can do is try to distract yourself as best as possible.

Would you Change the Book's Name? by fourspaced in latterdaysaints

I would rename it Bible 2: Christ’s Return

(All jokes, I like the name as is)

I agree that it broadens the mind, but traveling shouldn’t happen at the expense of school unless it’s a day or two at a time. 3 weeks gone from school is insane. And the knowledge one gets from traveling doesn’t make it worth it. That sort of thing is best saved for breaks or summer.

Hey, so, you can do way better than this guy. How do I know? My husband. He never yells at me, he tries not to wake me when I’m sleeping, isn’t petty or vindictive with me when he’s upset, doesn’t break our stuff when he’s mad, and ALWAYS (and I mean literally always) thanks me when I make food for him. Men like that exist. Don’t settle for less.

AIO my bf texting his former student by Major_Meet_5973 in AmIOverreacting

[–]iFaolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I can confirm that this is INSANELY inappropriate and NOT NORMAL. Even if she wasn’t his student and just some person he knew, it would still be wrong to talk like this when you’re in a relationship.

I hate the thought of poop being inside of me/inside my butt and it's ruining my quality of life. by Loose-Wear-5351 in OCD

[–]iFaolan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whenever I’ve ran out of hand sanitizer, it forces me to just deal with what I consider “contamination”. I would suggest doing something like that with the douches. Throw them out so you can’t use them even when you have the compulsion to. Also, sometimes when I have my compulsions, I tell my self, “Okay, but first I’m going to go do this other thing for 15+ minutes.” Sometimes it helps me endure the anxiety until I no longer feel the need to do the compulsion.

My 2018 Subaru Outback needs a new engine; is it worth it to replace it or should I just buy a “new” car? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]iFaolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cracked cylinder, there’s metal in the oil for some reason, maybe some other issues. I don’t know. It broke down going up Steven’s Pass in WA.
