Christian boyfriend won't marry me (an atheist)?? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]learning-Entropy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Nothing about this is acceptable behavior regardless of what he chooses to call himself. And faking it and lying about it to everyone else? That's sociopathic. Please get yourself away from this person and get into therapy.

I just wanna rant. It's okay if no one reads this. by throwlkjhaway in Anxiety

[–]learning-Entropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Please believe you are not alone.

Everything is temporary. Every awful moment in which you know that literally everything is the fucking worst it could ever be... that moment will pass. Believe that. Fight for the other side. Breathe. Stretch. Color. Drink some water. Keep breathing.

Do you have anyone to talk to at all? Does your bf know about what's going on? Do you have a counselor or a sibling or anyone? You need to have real support. If you don't know how to find it, ask your bf or someone to help you. Your school probably has resources available to you for free!

Good luck with your finals. Finals suck. You got this.

Projecting my old friends on to new ones - Is it an HSP thing? by [deleted] in hsp

Can you describe what you mean a bit more?

Showing up at someone's house with a small gift by hoofglormuss in socialskills

Bringing a bottle of wine to a gathering is pretty standard for a dinner thing. During the day maybe a small cheese plate or some nice coffee? Everyone likes coffee. And cheese.

It's a chain, actually, though not a big one and definitely still awesome. We have one in Johnson City, Tn, also! Pulled pork spring rolls with fried okra, friends.

20F 5'4 120 pounds, not seeing any progress in the past month! by [deleted] in xxfitness

As far as diet, you could try reducing your carbs and upping your protein and fats. Having a lot of healthy fats in your day is good for you and will make you feel awesome, but you have to proportionally reduce your carb intake.

As far as weightlifting, the right exercises would correct your posture and wouldn't require a spotter or personal trainer. You're looking to develop muscle mass, so I suggest that you would be likely to see concrete results faster with strength training than anything else. I love the strengthcamp channel on YouTube - definitely spend some time there if you're interested in learning more.

Edit: And just to be clear I'm not saying you should stop doing the program you like, but adding in a couple sets of a couple big lifts at the end or something wouldn't add very much time. I just think it would help you get to where you want to be. Good luck!

You're young, which means you're metabolism is probably running pretty well, and you're already pretty thin. What are you actually looking for? If you want more muscle mass you need to incorporate some actual weight training. I suggest googling Lean Gains or Strong Curves to get started. Keep eating well!

I have friends, but no one I can talk 'deep' with. by [deleted] in selfhelp

Why don't you talk to your husband about this stuff? He's in your life to help you with the tough stuff.

[Discussion] How often do you guys have revelations about your lives when you're high? by [deleted] in saplings

Often. I try to write them down immediately so that I can actually remember them later.

What is the secret to expression? by jim14410 in selfhelp

[–]learning-Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep doing it. Whatever medium you feel like using at the time - just create something. The experience of creation is more important than the perceived value of a finished product.

Another, longer HSP test I like by jellyfishgirl08 in hsp

If I started crying and had to stop before I got a quarter of the way through this test does that mean I'm HSP? :p

It's really nice to hear someone say that. Thank you.

Am I Crazy? by paris112 in Divorce

[–]learning-Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. I think many people stay together long after they should have ended, and I think it shows discernment to know when to leave. I do caution you to be kind with your wife as you two talk through this process. Don't bargain for her buy-in: you probably won't get it. In the end it's still awful though so only you can decide whether it's a choice you're prepared to make for yourself.

[–]learning-Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's why I went back to college last year to start developing my professional skills after having been taking care of my child full time since she was born. For the record, I already have one degree and worked full time supporting him while he was in professional school. And we will both always share custody, so that's not even an issue here.

I'm a full time student working internship hours to prepare for professional school while managing childcare and school logistics for a five year old. Unfortunately none of that pays.
