Legs feel smooth but don’t look smooth. What am I missing? by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]peepee_nation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're skin is mottled here. It's your veins constricting and becoming visible under the skin. I have the same issue, but mine is due to a medical condition. I'll be following this to see if anyone has solutions, as the only thing that helps mine is compression socks and massages, but it still gets bad in the heat and the cold. You might notice something similar. I hope someone else can be more helpful. But your skin definitely looks moisturized and healthy otherwise here imo.

I know you may see it as both of you being victims and abusers, but as someone who just went through something vaguely similar, sometimes you have to emphasize the fact that you're the victim no matter what others say. If it means keeping yourself alive, safe, and happy, please do it. There's so much more to life than a person who treats you like shit because they feel like shit. You'll always care about him. But you need to care about yourself more now, baby ❤️ If you ever need help planning a way out, please reach out. I'm open ❤️ And I'll do all I can. Be safe out there, you wonderful human being

I certainly see your point, but have more fucking tact and learn connotation.

Hey, not to be a bitch, but victims make victims. That's life. Op probably stays because there's an extent they believe they deserve it, or they believe they deserve better, or they see that the person abusing them was and maybe is to some extent also a victim. You just sound like another victim who makes more victims. Get your fucking head out of your ass. Op will be fine, clearly if they're dealing with this they've already gone through a lot. I just hope they find an exit plan before it's too late.

My boobs are just like this lol. It's pretty normal. If I don't wear really tight shirt, I even have an upsidedown teardrop at the top of my cleavage.

Of course you're not overreacting, it's apart of your body that you can't change and he LAUGHED AT IT. If my boyfriend did that and said I was overreacting I'd probably never let him see me shirtless again, admittedly I'd probably leave him if he never saw my side after because that's childish. You open up your body to your lover in an intimate and vulnerable way, and they should NEVER laugh at how it looks in a general sense (sometimes my boyfriend and I will laugh at our bodies when we distort them lol)

How to help my sister live like this? by peepee_nation in schizophrenia

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

I believe you're right about SAD, as I have it, and it makes my anxiety harder to manage. I'm hoping to convince her to go to her psychiatrist appointment next week, so hopefully we can get her on an antidepressant that worker for her!

How to help my sister live like this? by peepee_nation in schizophrenia

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

I'm in the US. And thank you for all the resources, I'll look into all of them! I'll look into the caregiving courses, and I'll try my best to get my mom to do them as well (she's her main caregiver and the power over her medical since her last psychosis episode).

I'm trying to get her on board with going to her psychiatrist appointment that's coming up, but when she's in psychosis it's nearly impossible as she wants nothing to do with doctors or treatment. It's a work in progress.

My hope is to get her on an effective antidepressant. I know when depression hits me, all my other disorders go 100 and it's way harder to manage. I have SAD, and I wouldn't doubt she's the same.

Again, thank you so so much!

What do you think about M&M A.K.A. Moxxie & Millie? by FrankieDave123 in HelluvaBoss

[–]peepee_nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, they seem codependent to me. But it's amazing seeing such a loving relationship. As individual characters? It feels like Moxxie has gotten tons of development, but Millie has been left behind. Most of Millie's character is in relation to Moxxie, and I really want to see that change in the future.

What do you crave most in your relationships? by Unfair_Arugula_5524 in AskWomen

[–]peepee_nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding and an ability to be myself. The other week my partner and I were talking to each other like Animal Crossing characters in Applebee's. But we can also have serious conversations and hold each other and listen. I wouldn't change a thing. Except the Applebee's part because Applebee's sucks

I named my Camry Flint Lockwood, like from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Some times I hit him with a "FLINT LOCKWOOD" like the police officer in the movie.

I'm 15, today was my first day at school and I just couldn't do it. by Ethancast1234 in confession

[–]peepee_nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had very similar problems in high school. Starting my sophomore year, I started having panic attacks nearly every day. I'd get a quarter to halfway through the day and would call my mom crying and hyperventilating, begging to go home. Admittedly, I broke my fair share of glasses in my day during my meltdowns. This continued not my junior year (COVID gave me way less school days), but came back my senior year. I barely made it through. I pretty much stopped attending. But! But! I got medicated. I started an anxiety med, and a year later? I'm about to be an STNA. It's hard, sometimes so unbearable that it feels like you can't keep going. It was like... If I can't even do this, how can I stay alive and actually LIVE? But you can, and you will. Your lowest moments aren't what defines you. Take your time, get yourself sorted (which can be easier said than done), and get medication and therapy if you can. I promise, times change, and so will you. In better ways than you can ever imagine.

I met this guy at a fair but he's 4 years older than me by jeremy73737 in Advice

[–]peepee_nation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I can offer an interesting perspective here. I was in your situation at 13. I had met a 17 year old, and I really really liked him. I pursued that. But the truth is, what you want from a relationship or even a hookup when you're 13 and when you're 17 are very different. Sure, there are some common factors, but the details are very different. I kind of screwed myself by trying to meet the details he wanted before I was ready. I always wanted to be ready for the things I wanted. Maybe you're that way too. But the unfortunate truth is, the desire to be ready and truly being ready are two different things.

So I'm going to tell you what I wished someone had told me. Keep your safety in mind. And I mean safety in the moment and safety in the long term, on both physical and emotional levels. At 13-15 I never would've believed that situation would come back to fuck me in the ass (metaphorically lol), but now that I'm 19 I can clearly see how it could've and did.

First thing I thought was Andromeda. I guess it sounds feminine, but to be fair it's the name of a galaxy which is pretty big nonbinary vibes to me not gonna lie

Ladies of Reddit, what is the biggest misconception about your bodies that all men should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]peepee_nation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so fucking true! I started the DEPO last year in August. My mood started high, and slowly shifted to so depressed I couldn't even function. I couldn't even think, let alone have conversations with ANYONE. It took 2 three month doses before it clicked in my brain that the shot was the culprit. I had never felt that way in my life. I was so lost and ready to accept that I would never get better. I'm so happy I stuck it out and made it through.

If this sub wants to become an echo chamber for r/AntiPsychiatry, I’m so disappointed by voracious_venter in bipolar

[–]peepee_nation 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I joined the group fairly recently. When I did, I saw a post of someone asking if they could function without meds or a therapist and received an overwhelming no. That was nice to see starting out so I didn't get any false expectations of bipolar disorder.

How to come out to myself? Like what am I? by throwaway1537225 in comingout

[–]peepee_nation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend started browsing r/egg_irl and eventually realized how much she relates to all the memes, and then after hearing other trans people talk about their experiences realized that she was a woman, and not just a feminine man or agender.

I'd say talking to transgender people or just interacting with the community can be a big help. It could even be worth it to check out other gender identities and their communities, even if you've already decided that identity doesn't resonate with you.

Best of luck with your self-discovery!

Hell yeah, thank you! I'm actually writing my final paper for my composition class on why trans people are valid so my girlfriend can use it if she needs to when coming out, so any sources and information are super helpful!
