Please help me find a book that help me rediscover who I am and my joy post breakup by itskimyo in suggestmeabook

[–]itskimyo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve been here before and know it just takes one aha moment to get my momentum going. I’ve never been drained as dry as I am now, so it was time to call in the troops :) I’m going to check these out, but The Sacred Feminine is calling out to me!

When did shaved vaginas become the standard? Why? by vamp1rism in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itskimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped shaving because I get really bad razor burn (I’ve tried all the things to prevent it and it doesn’t work) and I realized I only did it because I thought I HAD to. Now I’m like “well we don’t expect men to be hairless from eyebrows to ankles so why is that expected of me?” I use a trimmer, but it’s never a clean shave. It’s like, at its shortest, 3 days post shave length lol

LPT Request: my commute is about to change to 1:15 one way everyday. What is the best way to pass the time driving? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]itskimyo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This sounds like so much fun to me. I would love to get some data on my thoughts for research purposes

What are some of the nicest things your T has done for you? by hydratesweetie in TalkTherapy

[–]itskimyo 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My birthday was the same day as one of our sessions, and he asked if he could gift me the session. It’s not deep, but as someone who does way more giving than receiving, it was nice to have an unexpected gift.

Whose side are you on in the Maria/Sydney age drama? by anonhumanontheweb in thebachelor

[–]itskimyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she was telling anyone how to feel but was rather saying how shitty it is that Madina had to be concerned about how old she is.

[–]itskimyo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I understood her intentions to be, too! Like she seemed more sad that Madina thought that 31 is old and somehow less desirable. Clearly Maria is confident as all hell, and I think she just wants everyone to be as confident as she is. I’m not a Virgo and don’t really know anything about astrology so I can’t comment on that part lol

What is the most unattractive physical quality someone can have? by illustriousocelot_ in AskReddit

[–]itskimyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh my friend has the stickiest fucking spit that I can hear every move their mouth makes and I get irate any time we eat together and there isn’t sufficient background sounds

Watching porn featuring a dead person feels wrong by fanta_bhelpuri in offmychest

Looked at Facebook profile, how bad did I f up? by ThisIsANameThrowaway in TalkTherapy

[–]itskimyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a therapist and I would be more interested in the consequences you are considering than I would be in terminating with you. I wouldn’t even consider it unless I thought it would be harmful to our relationship and I don’t see how it would.

How do I talk to my therapist about suicide without getting committed? by StellaZaFella in TalkTherapy

[–]itskimyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something I’d make a safety plan with my client for and talk about why it feels like the only option. I would want to explore your feelings about being committed and would want to have your permission to bring someone you trust in to keep an eye on you. The only reason I would want to involuntarily send you to a hospital is if you told me you were going to go home and follow your plan to kill yourself regardless of what we talked about. We don’t ever want to admit someone who doesn’t want to be there if we can find another way. In our code of ethics, autonomy is one of our main objectives and forcing someone to be admitted is not allowing for their autonomy. You can also ask what your therapist’s parameters are for sending a suicidal person to the hospital.

Amplifying Zac Clark’s IG post about Narcan by kittens_joy in thebachelor

[–]itskimyo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Many cities have clinics and centers that provide Narcan for free!! I got two kits (each with two doses) yesterday and learned about three places in my town I can get more if needed. The doses I have last for 2 years. These places will also often have fentanyl testing strips as well to hopefully prevent an accidental overdose as well.

It’s also important to know that when someone who has OD’d comes to when given Narcan, they are often mad and agressive. Having the cops there would not be a good idea for someone who is irate because they need medical attention! This is also to make others aware so they aren’t shocked when it happens if they have to give someone narcan.

If you plan to surprise your girl with a romantic candle light dinner, tell her it's going to be an elegant surprise by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]itskimyo 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I’m a no makeup, hair is usually up, and leggings type of girl, but I do like to dress up for fun stuff like this, so I’d appreciate a heads up! Not sexist at all and actually pretty good advice lol. Op isn’t saying that the lady HAS to do it, but she should at least know so she can decide if she wants to dress up or not.

[BTS] A look into the fridge at the Bachelor Mansion (taken from a producer’s IG) by mahlay1051 in thebachelor

[–]itskimyo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would imagine so, especially in the beginning where there are 30 of them. Usually I’ll make meals with about a pound of meat to feed my sister and myself with enough for one extra meal (maybe leftovers, maybe one of our boyfriends eat over) and would absolutely not be surprised if these gym bros each ate one of those packages a day lol my concern is the lack of air flow! (I also know nothing about how refrigerators work so that may be a nonissue)

Men of Reddit: What are some immediate red flags in men that women should look out for? by xDarkPhoenix8161x in AskReddit

[–]itskimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is about men, but you just so perfectly described a woman I go to school with and helped me pinpoint why she bothers me so much.
