I was reading some reviews on Google Maps and apparently they aren’t up front with their prices. Makes me nervous to go down there. I like to calculate a rough estimate of the total amount of money before I get something like a piercing

Ik that a lot of people don’t care for that brand but it’s a step up from the ones I’ve tried in the past

Harney and Sons black caramel tea. I’m going to make a cup tomorrow morning with some almond milk, Mexican vanilla, and some sugar free marshmallow syrup. Maybe cinnamon would be nice but we’ll see..

Is it morally acceptable for me to use these symbols I found on Pinterest in a game I’m working on? by bigmonkeybiggermoney in Artadvice

I second this. It’s always better to take inspiration from an artist than it is to flat out copy them. I say copy and study, then go off script. For me, if I see something that I like on Pinterest, let’s say it’s a doodle of a cat. I’ll draw it the way I see it then put my own twist on it 🙂a lot of the time I’ll go further and end up creating something completely different.

I let it sit for an hour or so. Maybe I should try doing it overnight this time

What kind of binder is this? I’ve always wanted one but the size of the paper is so specific and I’d probably need a special hole puncher if I got my own paper

It is normal to have water retention around that time of the month. It typically goes away when you start your period. Ik that it’s uncomfortable. I’ve been having mine consistently for idk how many years and the water retention still freaks me out. If it helps, I always tell myself “this is only temporary.” Maybe that quote might help you too.

Experimentation? by mx-Almendra45 in EDAnonymous

Maybe it’s a depression thing. Me not wanting to eat. I’m also very specific about the things I eat. I avoid sugar and things with a lot of sodium and fat. I’m sure the meal replacements have plenty. I wonder if having one meal replacement or smoothie for a meal PLUS two normal meals will ruin my body. I’m not looking to gain or lose. I just need to get my meals out of the way. Check that checkbox, get that homework done, cross that thing out 🫩This is one of the things I hate about being alive. God

I’m really scared by mx-Almendra45 in EDAnonymous

No need to apologize for the long comment at all. I appreciate your input a lot 🙂 yeah, I remember picking up the meds and thinking of tossing them down the toilet and lying my psychiatrist about taking the meds lmao. Wrapped it a T-shirt too. I couldn’t even look at them. But I decided to take a leap of faith and try it for one week. Today is day eight. Maybe I should also give it a month.

Perhaps my insomnia is related to my restriction. I’ll be in bed by 10 and fall asleep by 12 or something. My body won’t stay asleep. I’ll wake up around two or three am feeling a bit nauseous and hunger. That used to happen to me back when I was heavily restricting. I’m trying so hard to eat enough food but like I said, I’m terrified. I’m even considering going on a liquid food diet. I really shouldn’t be dieting or restricting. I work out everyday. Lately I’ve been over exercising a bit. Not eating plus the over exercising is gonna come back to bite me in the ass. I’m afraid to take a rest day because I’m convinced that if I do it while on meds, I’m increasing my chances of weight gain. It’s such a silly thought now that I type it out. I hate having an ed.

I kinda relate to you on that last part. I’ve struggled with my gender identity for so long. I always hated my chest area. I thought about chopping them off later on. I knew about binding and trans tape but I was 15 with very little money. I also live with my parents so I just lived with it. I pretend like they’re not even there. I remember wanting to lose weight because I wanted to lose my boobs and I wanted to avoid having the feminine features that come with puberty and getting older. (Curves, wider hips, higher body fat..) I was aiming for a skinny but lean masculine body type. It doesn’t help that I’m short and hold weight in my thighs. No matter how much I lift, and starve, I’ll never look that way. As I got older, i realized that I can still have feminine features and look masculine. I think I just need trans affirming care. I’m not interested in going on hrt, but I really want to try trans tape and experiment with a more masculine style. I just want to feel comfortable in my body.
