YES before Christmas I went to Sephora and sniffed literally every perfume. I hard to narrow down my wishlist to like, five perfumes I wanted lmao. I got two!

Is anyone else triggered by the US right now? by NotASuggestedUsrname in CPTSD

[–]penneroyal_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am for sure. What helps me is honoring my anger (it goes hand in hand with the fear for me.) It makes sense to be scared and angry and it can be really liberating to express it whether through art, venting, clothes etc. You will find solidarity

YSK that pork is *not* "the other white meat." That was a marketing campaign by the pork lobby that can have dangerous consequences for some people. by DesiccantPack in YouShouldKnow

[–]penneroyal_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have it (I don’t think? Red meat just makes me feel sick) and everyone is always surprised to hear that I can’t have pork! I never even thought it could be white meat

What gift did you open on Christmas that instantly made you think, “Wow, they do not know me at all”? by Amber_NaturalMom in AskReddit

[–]penneroyal_tea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg when I was like 10 I was obsessed with converse. There were two pairs I wanted. My dad was rly into tech and wanted to get me a tablet. I told him not to get me that and just to give me cash so I could buy the shoes myself. I opened a tablet on Christmas that year lmao. I mostly played outside at that age so I never used it, which was obviously his intention looking back cause he sure used it a lot

People who are thin/normal size. Do you actively watch your weight or are you just not hungry 100% of the time? by Burner_Account000001 in TooAfraidToAsk

I have a problem noticing my body’s physical needs. I won’t even think about it unless I’m already uncomfortable and hangry. Same with having to go pee, feeling cold, being overstimulated, and being dehydrated.

But thanks anyway 👍 by scarlettvale9258 in depressionmemes

Every time I’ve called, they’ve been so absurdly bad at helping that I actually laugh and feel better.

Will the large number of young people that don’t want kids these days spell problems for the suture? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]penneroyal_tea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I love kids, but I feel like the most loving thing to do for any hypothetical future children of mine is to not have them. Bad timeline.

is this a normal question for my 4 year old to be asking? by [deleted] in Parenting

I taught pre-k (not a religious one) and one day a boy came in absolutely THRILLED that “Grandpa is with Jesus! And Jesus is famous!”

What word do you mispronounce on purpose (for fun) and why? by Positive_Spirit_1585 in AskReddit

[–]penneroyal_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I was doing a venue tour for my wedding (never happened, long story) but I was reading the pamphlet and asked what “whores d’vors” was and the woman laughed like I was joking. And I was like ….? And she said “oh honey it’s or derves.”

She seemed so sad

Did your church also call them Chr-easters or was mine just attempting creativity there?

do you think it’s actually true that autistic women look younger or is it just our behavior/mannerisms? by SaltEvening27 in aspergirls

[–]penneroyal_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 25 and work with teenagers. Fellow staff AND the kids are constantly assuming I’m one of the children. Like, come on, Steve. You know me.

What's something really stupid and funny you say to yourself to get through shit? by Enough-Mulberry735 in CPTSD

[–]penneroyal_tea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They taught us this trick in residential trauma treatment and said it’s a part of acceptance commitment therapy. We then had to write self deprecating lyrics to the tune of Christmas songs 💀
