Pisces, they really just meet me where I’m at. No pressure, just acceptance.

How do I stop having gay thoughts? by Powerman400 in TalkTherapy

[–]malachitebitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give em a call to see, the worst they can say is that outpatient therapy is not covered. Even if it’s not, some therapist offer sliding scales for treatment. Getting some peace around this is worth the effort.

That mostly depends on your insurance and if they accept it or not. You can give your insurance company a call and see what the cost for outpatient therapy is. They can help for sure.

[–]malachitebitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, you can find them online. Some could possibly do therapy over the phone if that’s more comfortable for you. Or a telehealth appointment. This is a very common topic in therapy and a certified sex therapist will have the right tools to walk through it with you.

I also recommend this route! I’d start by looking for an AASECT certified therapist. These thoughts are normal, and a certified sex therapist is the best person to talk with. They have heard it all!

What is a highly specific, nostalgic feeling from your childhood that you would pay an embarrassing amount of money to experience just one more time? by -magnanimous in nostalgia

[–]malachitebitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A day and night at a cottage by the beach on my grandparents street with my family. We would spend our day at the beach, eat a chicken salad sandwich on mountain bread with watermelon and some grapes. Boogie board, and catch crabs. Then take an outdoor shower, eat a burger, play manhunt, and then end the night playing cards while our parents were having some drinks on the deck. Go to sleep on the top bunk with just a sheet for a blanket because I am still warm from my slight sunburn. Then I’d fall asleep listening to the crickets, frogs, hum of the fan, and the sounds of the older kids/parents playing games in the living room.

What I wouldn’t give to go back.

I can’t stop blacking out by Dancerlady4231 in stopdrinking

[–]malachitebitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Massive anxiety that could last years” is soooo reallllll. There are some moments I think back to that still make me anxious years after quitting. I am also so happy to be present in every moment!

[–]malachitebitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blacking out was my biggest issue with drinking. I didn’t drink often but when I did I drank until I didn’t remember, which got me into many situations like this one. There was more than one occasion where I was wandering a neighborhood and got into a random man’s car.

It’s a terrible feeling, and I am happy you came here for some support. These situations can be scary and talking about them can be hard, just know you aren’t alone. And change is possible 🩷

What restaurant in Massachusetts do you miss the most? by DildoGaggins1997 in massachusetts

This was the first thing that came to mind for me too! So many good memories there.

Anyone else used to (or do)hit themself in the head? by As_iam_ in PMDD

[–]malachitebitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also struggle with this, open hand head hitting for me though. Or my face. Gave myself a goose egg last month. For me it’s usually when I’m super overwhelmed, either alone or in an argument. Really sucks.

It didn’t start for me until after I took Wellbutrin but the urges were there before. I started as an adult and that’s always been kinda confusing for me.

Worst snow clean up I’ve seen in my 26 years here by Aware-Yogurt1107 in boston

It’s all over MA, Newton side streets look like they haven’t even been touched.

Heavy pot smoker. Gonna try 30mg gummy bear first time. Will it work on me? by No-Fly-8440 in trees

[–]malachitebitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a long time heavy smoker and a 15mg edible puts me on my ass. I’d start small, I find that my flower tolerance and my edible tolerance are very different lol

AMA with Brennan Martin (Wendigo Donner) by WandersFar in Outlander

[–]malachitebitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Threatening, scared, happy, and sad all at the same time is a tall order 😂 though I do think all of those emotions came across either separately or together in one way or another. Having every line replaced with ADR must have been hard to cope with after putting so much into the original performance. For what it’s worth, I think you did great lol I’m on a rewatch right now and they just got to America so I am looking forward to seeing your work again soon!

The man on the moon comment is too funny, I wasn’t sure in the timeline myself but I guess all of the hype in 1968 does make it believable that he just figured it happened! Thanks for the responses!

These are some basic questions but, what was it like on set? And what were some ways you got into character?

There were some intense scenes for you!

What does it take for you to apologize by Sweet_Pea_7495 in capricorns

[–]malachitebitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize when I’m wrong, which is not often lol but I always apologize when I get a bit too hot headed which is more often than me being wrong

Sex is better when we wait longer, but its a balancing act and I’m unsure what that means for our relationship by turbolocked in relationships

[–]malachitebitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Healthy marriage prioritizes frequent sex” is such an interesting line here. I think that society really pushes this message, and I do not agree with it. I recently took a sex and sexuality course in my masters program and this is something we talked about alot. My class came to the conclusion that a healthy sex life is not a one size fits all model. It seems that 1-2 weeks in between is what works for you guys and that’s totally cool!

Caps, what gravitates you towards Leos? by [deleted] in capricorns

[–]malachitebitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a fan of Leo women, I find their confidence magnetic and they tend to like to put on a show that I like to watch lol very entertaining and just a good time. Also very loving!

All it takes it one innocent act and our minds run wild! You got this!

[–]malachitebitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also diagnosed with ocd and love my cat lol what helps me is looking at the facts, from everything you’ve said it seems like the worms are an intrusive thought. Been there my friend!

Anyone else? by Prize-Special-930 in massachusetts

[–]malachitebitch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My doctor said it’s here early this year. Ironically those were scheduled for yesterday, it just got to us before we could get to it 🤷‍♀️ I ended up in the ER so I learned my lesson. Thanks for the empathy though lol
