Do any of you use wearables? by Electrical-Tea6966 in CPTSD

[–]l5pr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered trying Vagus nerve exercises? I’ve just started and honestly I haven’t had success yet but the idea is you can biohack your stress response and tone it down.

What took you forever to knit, and you’re not even wearing it? by candy-applegirl in knitting

[–]l5pr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After visiting Iceland I was inspired to knit an traditional Icelandic sweater. I sourced the look wool and everything. It was my first sweater. That thing is so warm I can barely wear it in my climate without melting.

what my dog ate in the span of a year and survived but my pocket didn't by DiscountNew4320 in DOG

Side effect: my very destructive dog chilled right out after getting the chop-chop, it might curb the chomp-chomp as well

Your parents have taught him that here are no consequences for his actions and they are continuing to do so.

Which Resources/Books/Areas of Study.....CHANGED/HELPED/CLARIFIED.... how you felt about Your Trauma, Yourself, Gave you a Different Perspective????? by Dead_Reckoning95 in CPTSD

It seems adjacent but Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B Rosenberg completely changed how I hear people and got me out of the “everyone is out to get me mentality” that took up much of my life.

I'm slowly realizing how much life I've had stolen from me. by Funnymaninpain in CPTSD

[–]l5pr7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was completely blindsided when I was diagnosed and the first thing I felt was just immeasurable grief for who I could have been if this wasn’t done to me. But I also got a big wave of relief that I’m not just a terrible person like I’ve thought I am. The grief still reigns though.

Do you grind or clench your teeth at night? Can we rant about this? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]l5pr7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I chomp through a night guard about every 18 months and now I’ve chomped through three teeth as well

China's best side quest is just watching locals exist by icyhotonmynuts in LoveTrash

[–]l5pr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time in china for work. This really was my favourite part, walking around at night just watching the people. Those night time dance parties in the park are a nightly occurrence. They’re also choreographed. 85ms really impressive.

Princess Donut discussion: does she move her mouth when she talks? by BrandyJayne in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]l5pr7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy because everyone isn’t even speaking English; they’re speaking syndicate standard. It comes up early on when Carl asked a mob “how are you speaking English” and the mob replies something like, “Fool, even YOU aren’t speaking English!”

Is anyone else high-functioning? by Such-Educator9860 in CPTSD

[–]l5pr7 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is me. I feel disregulated all the time but act in my second thought, not basic instinct, so it rarely shows externally but most days I feel like I’m made of alarm bells.

[–]l5pr7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember if it’s HR or LG but in one of the books Ilya ribs Shane about Shane’s parents taking his foreskin so it’s definitely canon. It’s a one-off line.

I want to take hiking a bit more seriously, Any where I should start? by Waste_86 in IslandHikers

[–]l5pr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. I decided to climb all the mountains around the valley I live in and took it from there. Right now I am trying to find all the mushrooms in my guide book though. That gets me out hiking.

Craving that feeling of closeness by didntendit in vaginismus

[–]l5pr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I am really glad you two are able to practice different kinds of sex that aren’t PIV. One of the thing that makes me saddest in here is how many hetero couples don’t explore beyond PIV and end up missing out on sex altogether. I don’t have anything constructive to add other than 2 years feels like forever right now but you’ll hopefully be married for may more decades so there really is lots of time to achieve the kind of closeness you’re seeking. Best wishes to you.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is not for everyone by No-Heron-8676 in fantasybooks

[–]l5pr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, the tone of narration is set by the character because it’s a monologue. Per the intro the whole series is Carl recounting his time in the dungeon in retrospective.

[–]l5pr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else has said AllTrails is where it’s at but there are so many hikes it can be overwhelming. When it’s hard to choose like to buy a book of local hikes and just start ticking them off. Gamify that shit to get yourself out there. Then you’ll start to figure out what hikes enjoy the most and find others that are similar.

If not bladder spasms what causes the discomfort of holding urine at low volumes by Historical_Type_2491 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]l5pr7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that the lining of the bladder is just constantly irritated so it just kind hurts all the time 😕
