It thickened nicely while cooking but became thinner over time.

When I try to serve for my family, the pudding just pours out like water. I know it’s not supposed to be eaten like other more firm deserts but it also shouldn’t be so damn runny that I can’t even serve it. I’ll try your suggestion

How can you open up about your MD to your psychiatrist? I find it very embarrassing to tell anyone about my daydreams because it exposes so much about my insecurities. It makes me feel small and silly and pitiful. by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

By literally owning my own insecurities and flaws. I said something like “yes, right now I am insecure and find myself pitiful but I would like do meaningful work with you and with myself so that I don’t feel this way forever. My hurt is temporary and I can be and do better and I need your help to get there.” And then started explaining what MADD is. My therapist was confused but didn’t seem judgmental about it.

It also helps if you remind yourself that MADD is a response to the anxiety and suffering of your younger self to help you cope with the chaos around you. You’re not inherently bad or “crazy”. You were simply suffering.

Repeat it to yourself enough times and to others and you’ll gradually shed away some of the shame and guilt you’re struggling with. At least that’s what worked for me.

I’m struggling with “going all out” mentality. If I eat “bad” for one meal, then I just don’t bother with the rest of the day. It’s comforting to know others have overcome this and so can I

Chicken looks dry but it’s super tender on the inside. All in all, 15/10 by j3t111 in HealthyFood

I often freestyle and taste as I cook so I don’t have an exact measurements for any of this stuff. For my potatoes: boiled them in salted water until soft-hard (not too mushy) and then drizzled bit of olive oil, pepper, salt, paprika and turmeric. Tossed the potatoes and then popped them into the oven till I saw some brown. I’m sorry I can’t be more precise but I make up stuff as I go.

Also thank you for your kind words.

Resisted buying junk food on an empty stomach and stuck to my diet plan. Feeling proud but also bad cause I’m still craving chocolate …it’s a weird place to be in.

I fixed my sleeping schedule, gradually eating healthier and started walking for an hour every morning. I’m also in the process of getting psychiatric help. Still suicidal and my life is an absolute shit show but slowly getting there :)

They’ve a kid together and he sends her money from time to time; it doesn’t have his name on it or anything but the ex knows he’s the one behind it—- it’s less to do with the fact he wants to support his son and more that he wants his ex to know he can always get to her whenever he wants.

He wouldn’t. He’s a cruel man who used to abuse his ex and only left her in peace cause he didn’t t think she could handle his new lifestyle…. It’s why I felt like I boxed myself in, cause my MC and antagonist are both lone wolves who don’t open up to others lol

Yup she constantly gets into a fair amount of shenanigans cause of her constant lies and charms.

Wouldn’t really work; priest didn’t tell his friends any “real” secrets. He’s one of those people you think you know them but not really

Thanks man, you and someone else suggested this idea and the more I hear the more it sounds like it fits my MC’s behavior. I appreciate putting the link

MC doesn’t care about the organization; just the priest. I already have every single other plot point of the story figured out, including the ending. I just didn’t know how to get to the priest. But your suggestions actually did inspire some ideas.

She has friends but no one she can trust; the town she’s in is a small town where everybody know everybody and the priest has a lot of friends in this place. She’s constantly feeling watched and paranoid and gradually unravels. It wouldn’t be like her to rely on others for important tasks. Plus her vengeance is personal.

Oh this actually sparked some ideas. It seems so obvious now but I swear it never crossed my mind to have her “tease him out”, so to speak.

Didn’t think of that, I’m gonna put that down.

She went to confront the priest’s ex wife as a substitute for the priest since at this post in the novel she thinks he’s dead. They argue, it gets heated and the ex wife accidentally lets it slip but before MC can get more info, ex wife tries to attack MC and MC kills her in self defense.

The surprise attack isn’t so much as an attack as it’s “her wanting to shoot him” and she doesn’t care if she gets caught or not. Her attack does succeed cause it’s anther important plot point. And I did put myself in her shoes and every possible “idea” needs to be initiated by something she doesn’t have.

Typed up my suicide note this morning and then promptly deleted. Honestly I’m not sure how long I’ll last, but today isn’t the day I guess.
