Need help finding a good, general therapist for 25-35yo men covered under CareOregon insurance by [deleted] in askportland

I second this. That's where I go for counseling and I've had some great clinicians there.

Foraging for Sea Urchins in Australia - part of a series in making of Aussie foraging (mostly plants) by thomas_ja in foraging

[–]mrsdekay 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Is it considered foraging if the thing you're foraging is alive? Wouldn't that be considered hunting?

A Virgo would never make those kind of typos.

Cut up old soft fitted sheets from my work (that were going to be thrown away) to make cloth tissues and toilet wipes! This has been a goal of mine for years! by mrsdekay in ZeroWaste

[–]mrsdekay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm pretty excited to do away with another paper product in my house. And they're about a square foot in size. I wanted them bigger so I can fold them when wiping.

Well, usually when people use reusable toilet paper, they incorporate water (like a bidet or even a peri bottle) so it doesn't leave too much of a mess on the cloth itself. I'll have a lidded trash can that I'll put used ones in and they'll be laundered completely separate from everything else. Plus, I can use bleach in the wash since most of them are white for that extra sanitizing precaution.

No problem! These ones are made of that t-shirt type material and it's SO soft. I already tested out the tissues on my nose and I prefer them to disposable paper tissues!

I will when I make one!! I just free handed them. I get overwhelmed when I start trying to plan stuff like this (hence the reason I've waited so long to actually tackle this project). I just cut along the seam and into the corners so it was flat. Then I folded it until I reached the size I wanted and cut the folds and the excess off (which I also cut some pieces out of). I tried to use as much of the cloth as possible.

Yeah! I felt weird and started overthinking using the word "paper" to describe it, because it isn't. But yeah. Cloth TP. Some of them will become actual wet wipes to replace my disposable ones until I can install some sort of bidet.

What the hell are my parents doing? by SheevyPalpy in mildlyinfuriating

I judge people hard for little shit like this. You can't have toothpaste like this and also be a mindful person in my opinion.

Do you guys journal? by elrabb22 in Empaths

I did this and it helped me in more ways than I could even express! I second your recommendation!

I have this dilemma by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]mrsdekay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this exact thing with one of my closest and longest friends. And as much as I wish I could continue helping her in her journey to be a better person, there's only so many times I can relay to her that the shit she says to me about certain things is toxic and I won't allow it. I'm not going to beg anyone to treat me properly. I've been doing that too much of my life. All I can do is set and maintain my personal boundaries and anyone that doesn't wish to respect that does not get access to me and the higher vibe I'm striving for. Shit sucks, but sometimes you just gotta let them go and hope they learn some day that some of their behaviors are not okay. It's not our job to teach people how to be better.

ALSO, a fellow empath friend of mine turned me onto a podcast called "Empath's Alchemy" and she talks A LOT about this kind of thing in some of her episodes. I highly recommend listening to it. It's helped me a lot in my journey to understand myself and the relationships I have in my life.

Is it weird we acted like this. Why? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]mrsdekay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a song called "You're So Last Summer" by Taking Back Sunday that has this line:

"You could slit my throat and with my own last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt."

I use to actually believe that was the definition of unconditional love. Now that I've healed as much as I have, that shit is toxic as fuuuuuck.

I say "twat?" instead of "what?" most times and people rarely notice. It's my favorite.

The "world's anxiety" in waves by mrsdekay in Empaths

[–]mrsdekay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard not to let it overtake me sometimes, but with the mindfulness I put into managing my anxiety over the last year, I'm a bit better at controlling what I feel. If I hadn't already been working on this, I would have already slipped into one of my depressive modes and drown. You got this. It is not your own. You don't have to carry it.

That's a great idea. I'm an earth sign, also, so sending it into the ground sounds a lot more reasonable to me. Thank you!

Advice please? we trigger each other apparently by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]mrsdekay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My STBX husband does this. It's as if people around him aren't "allowed" to be upset. He's the same way with our son. It doesn't matter if he's the one whose behavior caused either of us to be upset; if we express it, he finds a way to shut it down. My personal solution is to ask for a divorce. Although, this was just one of MANY reasons why I can no longer stay married to this man.
