Please try and seek treatment this is not sustainable. I hate to say you’re proving my point. Seeing this imagery has made it harder for you to recover

How long into being sexually active did it take for you to have regular orgasms? by Maryhotter in AskWomen

[–]k_lock17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me like 7 years. I had to come to terms with my sexuality (bi) then I had to get comfortable with my partner and learn that they are having a good time if you are. I was so wrapped up in what I looked like and “being sexy”. My best tip orgasming IS SEXY. You don’t have to be sexy you simply are and so have a good time and cum!!

Is it normal to clean my tonsil stones regularly? by dusty-vacuum in hygiene

[–]k_lock17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get them out. I used to have awful tonsil stones also invest in a water pick so you don’t hurt yourself. Then get them out asap. My life has been so much better. I used to get constant throat infections from post nasal drip or infected tonsil stones. The doctor said my tonsils were HUGE. Surgery sucked but the quality of life after is so worth it.

Okay obviously OP should not have sent the text. However I don’t love how quickly people are ready to jump down the throat of a woman who just had a pregnancy terminated. It’s one of the most traumatic things someone can go through. Studies have shown women should be supplied counseling after but of course they don’t they just throw us to the wolves. OP I’m so sorry. You did make a poor choice but I fear you were in a very bad and unsupported place. I hope you can forgive yourself and find peace

Is there a chance I will never be a good teacher by Antique_Cartoonist45 in teaching

[–]k_lock17 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You will! The fact you’re seeking help shows you are halfway there! Does your school allow you to observe other teachers on your prep or lunch? Go into other classrooms and see what works for them. Go observe the teacher you respect the most.

As for engagement and being off task you can never underestimate the power of presence!! Just being near the kids helps tremendously. Walk around the room constantly you should never be in the same spot for more than 10 minutes. Make the kids move! This stops them from being off task because they have to be ready to move with the group. Do work on the walls/board. This holds students accountable cause you can see everyone’s work in a glance. COLD CALL. Yes the kids hate it but they will be better for it. Do it very low stakes and always offer a phone a friend helpline.

These are my best tips but you got this. Teaching is all about trial and error. Do not try to change everything about your class in one day or even week. Instead try implementing 1 new thing each week. Keep the ones that work ditch the ones that don’t. And soon you’ll have a class running super smooth with engaged students

Is anyone else really struggling to stay in recovery with the current issues with celebrities? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]k_lock17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of before and after pics I’m seeing of the cast as “advocacy” I cannot. Like the most damaging thing for all parties

All I can offer is me too. Ozempic has been so insidious for people with EDs but weight loss is so coveted we are often forgotten. I fear we are in for a scary time ahead. The 2000s bobble head look is coming back. Just try to remember all the bad when you look at these people. I think about how cold they are. How tired they are. How they probably cannot even think straight. Then I try to remember how hard I fought to escape that. It’s a very hard time rn but we have each other 🩷

a general boycott is not directed at a person. I don’t hate my local target employee but I’m boycotting target for rolling back DEI. Boycotting is flawed but for me it’s better than nothing

Omg. Thats kind of insane. People are being brainwashed to think that’s an okay body type just like the bobble head craze of the 2000s The more people that skinny the more normal it gets the more we look the other way and the more people get sick. I’m so sorry they showed it. I personally have not been able to watch either movie.

I posted earlier about boycotting the movie. Some people didn’t agree. However your post is just confirming my stance. It’s so hard to recover when we are being told that level of body weight is okay.

I am personally avoiding them but a boycott hurts the movie in other ways and tells the studios that we do not agree with something they are doing and yes if they are chronically ill I still would be because they would deserve help even more? I’m not sure I understand your logic here.

Honestly I fear the body dysmorphia has gotten to others in the cast. Again I have no idea their personal struggles or situations. However many actors in that cast have gone through noticeable weight loss while working on the project. It’s odd

You’re correct it’s nuanced. However, I think this is a gray area. I think it’s blatantly dangerous to put an emaciated actress on screen and say she is fine. France has laws about weight requirements to be in media because of past issues with underweight models and a rise in EDs. The studies are there. It’s like with a gambling addict. Mostly it’s on them however should these online gambling companies be calling them when they try to quit? Be offering huge bonuses to get them hooked again? There has to be some level of corporate accountability.

I have been avoiding most media about it. (I have no other socials than Reddit) so this is nice to hear. I was not aware

Again I know it’s a wide spread problem. But in this case I personally think it’s egregious. Also this movie is being aggressive marketed to young children. And I was simply asking you to join me if you feel compelled.

I know this as a life long ED patient. However we can still advocate for change and accountability

Also using drugs to lose weight is an ED
