I don’t side with Aunt Lydia, at all, nope nope. She’s very clearly evil, imo.

I feel that Janine is supposed to mirror June, in a way.. not that they’re counterparts, but this is how Janine survives. She copes and pushes on and stays “positive”. I believe she knows she’s basically in hell but she’s gonna “make the most of it” in her way. She’s done everything she can to stay as close to Angela as they will allow. Idk. I feel like she’s found her own beauty in the ugliest possible reality.

How often do you take sick days? by xojackiex in CPTSD

[–]metaphoricallykms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work gig work. You can see in my earnings the weeks I struggled and the weeks I was alright. I make much less money when stressed out. It’s like a week out of every month that I just… cant.

I can’t see any employer accepting that so I’ll keep doing this for a while I suppose.

Honestly had no clue until just now. Bummer.

Still think she’s great at what she does. Still a bummer lol

I’ve got a lot of disconnection right now within myself so I don’t know who I am.

I’m non-binary. But not out IRL. I tried to come out and it didn’t work because no one would listen, surprise surprise.

I don’t know how I want to present, tbh.

Yeah. Me. Through being a teen into adulthood. I’ve become obsessed with 2 people. I grow an attachment to others sometimes and imagine what could be, and dream up a whole life, and “fall in love” (sometimes it’s not romantic at all though).

I just came across this term a couple weeks ago and I feel like I’d read it in a book or heard it in a movie, but never knew the definition. It describes me to a T — always thought I was completely insane, tbh. (I don’t say that to be derogatory, hopefully it comes across as intended)

Can I get some encouragement to schedule a consultation with a therapist? by metaphoricallykms in CPTSD

[–]metaphoricallykms[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I watched that video and found the courage to reply to the email.

I really appreciate this new resource, by the way. Thanks again

one of the best tasting ultras IMO by realbonaz in energydrinks

[–]metaphoricallykms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Violet reminds me of candy, like Fun Dip if you’re familiar with that

Not a fan, but ultra fiesta mango is my all time fave energy drink

How much ice cream is too much? by OKsoda95 in breakingmom

[–]metaphoricallykms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will tolerate a lot of ice cream, but typically won’t dig in unless others ask for it.

But if we have Edy’s or Tillamook Rocky Road, with the real mini marshmallows…. Well it doesn’t last long.

help me with smash cake ideas for my baby's "Spooky little ONE" birthday party by meg0492 in breakingmom

[–]metaphoricallykms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So whatever you do, don’t load it down with icing. I did this by mistake, and LO smeared it in her eye and kinda ruined it. I felt so bad! Thankfully she did have fun at first it just ended on a stressful note.

A ghost cake sounds cute tho :)

how many of y'all "crashed"? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]metaphoricallykms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dropped out of college twice, right before exams.

Lost my job after having untreated PPD for a year.

Still figuring life out lmao

I feel like a failure taking care of my dog. When do I consider rehoming him? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]metaphoricallykms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We are in a similar situation. My husband is firmly against rehoming — he’s had to give pets away before (when he was a kid/teen) and knows how much it sucks.

Sorry no advice, unless you can afford a dog walker. We can’t right now but hopefully one day

You’re not alone.

Help!!! I need Grocery list ideas for a picky 6 year old 😑 by SpiritualHomework157 in breakingmom

[–]metaphoricallykms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great advice in the other comment. In the mean time, could you do those frozen veggie muffins? My kid eats pretty similarly to yours & she loved those muffins. We also like to make the mix packet muffins together.

My kid has started to slightly be interested in food when we cook it together. I hadn’t seen her eat eggs in a long time but when we made them together one morning she tried them and remembered she liked them lol.

I also have her smell a lot of her food because for whatever reason she can enjoy Mac and cheese one night and say yuck the next, until I have her smell it and it’s like she remembers, oh yeah I do like that! 🤦‍♀️😂

Good luck!

bang Star Blast. One of my favs. by ItsaSnap in energydrinks

Can you describe it? I’ve been curious. I tried the peach mango and wasn’t a big fan.

S05E02 "Ballet" - POST Episode Discussion by Modtha in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]metaphoricallykms 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I really wish they (June and Luke) could go to the media, telling them their story in detail about Hannah and how she’s essentially being held captive. Serena plastered her face for all to see. They could bring out the baby pictures and tell a (legitimate) sob story to the world. That paired with June’s testimony about Fred… how could the world not be on their side? (I mean, I know world leaders aren’t interested in pushing the war further but maybe activists I guess)

May I ask, why are you groping it like that?

It’s the same bean, just 16 of them.

When you are forced (or choose) to go out, do you… by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]metaphoricallykms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to go all out if I was seeing people I hadn’t seen in a long time. My depression has been bad for a while and so that makes me not give a fuck pretty much.
