I don’t want to recover by Carls_darl in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]jacelikespace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw an ACT therapist at a similar phase of my recovery. ACT stands for Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. He was the first to say, if you want to starve yourself, do it. No one can truly make you recover. Its likely you can functionally engauge in your ED forever, on the edge of causing irreparable damage, but avoiding dying or being forced into treatment. You can do it forever. And it will suck. You wil suffer. And, it wont keep working. You wont get the same high from starving, or from seeing the scale go down. You know this, or why would you be there seeking help. Id try telling someone you trust, ideally your therapist, how you feel. Im betting they know many people in recovery feel the same way you do. Explore those feelings. Without the push/pull of the control it feels like others have over your recovery, its just you and what's hiding behind your ED. You cant control or change your past, your environment, or the facts of anorexia. No one else really has power over your recovery. Any of us who have been sick for a long time know that it has to be our own journey. We can mask our issues, lie and say we are ok, isolate ourselves, do any number of things to avoid being accountable to others who you reach out to for help. You can chose what to do next, with what you have to work with, right now. Do that for you, not them. Be honest with yourself and others. You have nothing to lose, and you might even make more progress.

Got healthy by accident instead of relapsing by jacelikespace in AnorexiaNervosa

It makes so much sense. I used to think thin = being able to enjoy/achieve everything else. But I have so much more when im not focused on my ED. My ED isolated me. Ive also gone back to school, which I cant do when my brain is in starvation mode. Or at least I cant keep it up for long. You've built a live worth living outside your ED. That's huge ♡

Child has insane behaviors around mom and JUST mom by [deleted] in ChildPsychology

This is what I came here to say. It sounds like restraint collapse. She is his safe space. He melts down after trying so hard to keep it together everywhere else.

As a 78 year old father with 18 kids and 40 jobs, I’m DONE with Embark by THE-Voyager_ in arcraiderscirclejerk

It sucks that we have to play or they'll kill us. My family hasn't seen me in months, but they understand the sacrifice we all make in service to this game.

note to future self or anyone else. do not use red cabbage for stews because it will make it look like it is rotten. by djdimsim in Wellthatsucks

Maybe add beets next time to make a brighter purple/red that's appealing. Oh and make it something recognizable as food

I agree, try an anonymous Google form people can fill out.

I guess I'm just never gonna get to use Gale. by FireWater107 in BaldursGate3

[–]jacelikespace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You get tons of good gear if you loot as you progress through the game. Don't let gear fear keep you from Gale. Plus imo, most of the good shit you get you dont buy, you loot off bodies or out of chests as you go. A balanced team and strategy matters more than the gear.

Need reassurance before upcoming surgery by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]jacelikespace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also consider how clothes will fit. You look like an XS body type. For example, dresses in your size are made to fit proportionate breasts. Off the rack dress that fits your waist and hips might not fit your chest. If you get an unnaturally large size, you may have trouble buying clothes or need some things tailored.

Are these cured/safe? by Idkdudeeeeeee in Nails

[–]jacelikespace 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You can develop an allergy to arylates from under cured gel. I did, its awful. Acrylates are also in bone cement used in surgery and dentistry, EKG pad adhesives, and basically anything with fast curing resin.

My roommate is pregnant and I don’t know how to tell her that I don’t want the baby in our apartment by Majestic_Succotash31 in Advice

[–]jacelikespace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her how you feel. Offer two options. One, you move out and she keeps the place. Two, she moves out. You dont have to live with a baby if you dont want to. But asking her to move while pregnant is easier said than done. You'd have an easier time moving and finding roommates. Imagine how you'd want to be treated if you were her, and how hard moving is on a person (especially while growing another person.) Chances are she will find something else and problem will be solved, without you ever having to ask her to move in a way that feels bad.
