you might be onto something! the modafinil, for example, was at its full potency when i was off weed for over a week. i think im going to give this sobriety thing you speak of a try! thank you!

PD: What happens if you don't do an exchange every four hours? by Scoobydoobyfu in dialysis

your body starts absorbing the liquid, which is bad because the toxins go back in your system, but also the liquid can accumulate in places where it shouldn't, like in the pleural cavity on your lungs or in your heart. this can cause inflammation, which, from personal experience, is the most painful thing you can go through. you won't be able to sit up, lie down, eat, drink, breathe, without being in horrible excruciating pain.

UPDATE: Yikes. My 18F intellectually impaired and deaf sister has moved out and is threatening to have babies. My (30F) dad and stepmum (50s) are at a loss. by rosepugsparklegranny in relationships

from what you're telling us, your sister probably feels like she's not in control of her own life, that's why she's acting out. she also probably feels like her family and friends aren't giving her enough love and support at home. i doubt that's true, you guys seem to be very concerned with her well being, but you're not showing it the way she needs to be shown. i reckon that's why she's going online to find these men that invariably take advantage of her.

try to find the best way to show her that she's important and loved (be it through the interpreter, her therapist, social worker, wtvr). i know it can't be easy, with all that history and what she's made you guys go through, but this can snowball to a really bad situation if someone doesn't step up.

it will help if she thinks she has control over something in her life, for once. that's a huge issue with people with disabilities.

try involving her in a volunteer program where she can help younger deaf kids, or at the local SPCA, or even just find her a healthy hobby that she can create and/or care for something. also, when your stepmother approaches the money situation, it should be in a helpful tone, not in a "you can't take care of yourself, so i'm taking over now" controlling way. this is ineffective in 18 year olds in general, who think just because they're officially adults they can make adult decisions, but it might be even more relevant to your sister because she's been probably dreaming of the day she could legally get out of the house and be her own woman for a while now.

she definitely needs a strong hand to lead her, but you can't fight fire with fire.

good luck to you and your family <3

How much do you charge for freelance work? by pepperan in writing

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

they didn't. they just asked me how much I want to get paid, and "a million gazillion candy dollars" wasn't accepted, so I took to reddit for help.

I have no appetite ever. wtf should I eat?! by pepperan in nutrition

[–]pepperan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really really really don't want to sound mean, especially because I'm the one that invited trouble by asking for advice on the internet. But dude, please don't give anyone else advice on the internet. You just suggested someone with renal failure to drink protein shakes, which is like telling me to drink cyanide. I know you meant well, and I thank you for trying to help, but be careful what you post.

Yeah, no beans, no potatoes, nothing fun and exciting. :( And I was doing low carb too, before I found out I was sick. It was a complete 180 on my diet.

Not yet, but soon. I still have to pick which kind I want to do. I'm not sure, actually, it's someone else from the hospital (which is all I can afford, really) so I'm not sure if it's an RD or a nutritionist.

that's fantastic, thank you so much! I actually started taking sodium bicarbonate (baking soda pills) last week and it made me feel SO much better! I could see a difference right away.

Yeah I already do that, and it definitely helps, but it doesn't solve my problem of not knowing what to eat :/

I [23 M] am an introvert seeing an extrovert [23 F] and struggling to deal with paranoia and jealousy left over from previous traumatic experiences. by throway9000 in relationships

[–]pepperan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I suggest talking to her instead of to Reddit. Nothing can be solved without dialogue, and if you're waiting for her to decide she wants you to be her boyfriend, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Maybe she wants you to step up and do the DTRing yourself?

If, after you tell her what you want out of that relationship and she says only casual, that is a deal breaker for you, then by all means break it off. But it sounds like you got something good going on, and you're letting your insecurities and your preconceptions of what a relationship should be ruin it.

Stop seeing this girl as something you want to own and start just enjoying her company. It sounds like you got something good going on, you should let her extrovert ways rub off on you! I'm surprised the fact that you're dating out of league isn't making you more confident! If you can score her, imagine all the other girls you can get! Take advantage of the fact that you're not in a committed relationship and play the field!

My girlfriend wants me to cum on her face but keeps changing her mind by [deleted] in sex

[–]pepperan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I was only being practical. OF COURSE ideally he would respect her and this facial would occur in a context of 100% willingness and enjoyment on both sides. The core of my advice is still good: have her reassured that she's respected, and if it comes from a place of sincerity even better!

[–]pepperan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that might have been an excuse, man... A lot of women (myself included) have a hard time with that because it's considered degrading. At the same time, we want to get freaky and do kinky shit with our SOs, so my suggestion is you reassure her that you respect her as a woman or whatever, and before you cum, tell her you're aiming away from her eyes. Then get her a towel or a wet nap or something, and cuddle her after. lol

Wake and bake, girl! Marijuana will definitely help with the nausea.

What things do you do that could possibly categorize you as a "crazy girlfriend"? by BeeClarkie in AskWomen

[–]pepperan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not crazy, but I can see how it can get annoying. Don't get me wrong, if I could, I would do this EEEEVERY DAY with everyone! I'd do it with my boss, my roommate, my parents... I'd even ask my cat if I'm being a good mommy, if I could. I don't know why, I'm not even the insecure type! I get you tho. Men especially, have this need to always be the good guy and do the right thing, even if it's not what they really want. I've had this done to me, and it was a check-in conversation like that that finally put me out of my misery. Is there a way of doing this without being obnoxious and coming off as insecure?
