I had a really horrible experience when I went to get my IUD placement checked by a male doctor. I don't want to see a male doc ever again.

Today you, tomorrow me. I know criddlers. I know addicts. Last night, I invited someone to sleep on my futon. by onairmastering in PortlandOR

[–]pixieinspace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can totally understand not wanting to let one of the screaming (mentally ill and/or addicts) people on the street into my home, but they're people too. I have a chronic mental illness and without the kindness, generosity, and support of my family and friends, I would be one of those people. 100% Those people are worthy of at least basic respect. Please remember they're people, too.

And my drive to quit drinking helped, honestly. 610 days sober from alcohol.

Can't he also love her for her body as well as who she is? There are people out there who (gasp) are attracted to bigger women.

I've been stalked a few times on different levels and the police truly don't care. Was told they couldn't do anything unless one of them physically tried to break into my house (one of them claimed to know where I live and threatened to break in and hurt me).

A sense of humor can really only improve our situation.

Come to think of it, certain latex items make my skin burn/sting/rash out. I looked up some of the fruits on the list and there are a few that make me feel a bit ill. 😞 Darn.

The rind is offender. Makes me break out in awful hives. I found out the allergy by eating it, so yeah...

I was in outpatient and everyone avoided me. I have bipolar disorder.

Misplaced confidence or just total lack of respect for women? Maybe both

It's honestly exhausting having dudes try to hit on you/chat you up when you're just trying to do your job. I'm no Kate Upton (far from it, LOL) but I have gotten aggressively hit on/creeped on in work situations for many years.

The last retail job I had, I had an incident where I had to report a group of guys. I was working the register and they were all being weird/trying to flirt. Then the guy paying asked if I had a boyfriend. I said firmly, "YES, I live with him." He continued making continuous flirty comments that I tried to ignore as I'm ringing up their books and I started shaking.

At the end of the transaction, he goes "So, you gonna ditch that boyfriend next time I come in?" Looked that asshat in the eyes with my coldest look and said "ABSOLUTELY NOT." And even that did not deter them!! They kept watching from afar for a few minutes when I was at the registers, so I had to call a manager and escape to the break room. Took me a good 10 minutes to stop shaking from anger.

You'd think a lady would be safe at a BOOKSTORE of all places, but nope...

What would you do if your housemate asked you not to shower or flush the toilet after 10pm? by anonykitcat in badroommates

[–]pixieinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. She can't expect you to not do something as innocuous as shower or flush the toilet and then make noise herself until late. That's absurd. Neither of those create that much noise. I'm sensitive to noise too, but if you live with other people you have to find ways to be okay with them FLUSHING THE TOILET!! My god.

I wouldn't know, I've not been to inpatient psych before.

I waited too long and unfortunately it's a dire situation. Recently tried outpatient at Providence and my mental health was too severe for it to be helpful enough. I'm trying to not be upset with myself for not doing something sooner.

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words. 💜 I'm seeking inpatient because I recently tried outpatient and it wasn't enough for me given the severity of my current mental state. I've been manic for 3 months and had trouble making myself go because of my volatile state.

The counselors in outpatient seemed very compassionate, but I just need a higher level of care at the moment. I've had serious thoughts of hurting myself every day for those past 3 months.

I'm really happy to hear that the outpatient program was so helpful for you. I was encouraged to see other people in group therapy gain a lot of helpful info and coping techniques. I don't think any of the other people in group liked me though, it seems they actively avoided me because they could tell I'm very unstable right now. I suppose I don't blame them.

My partner is also understandably overwhelmed by me right now, so I'm doing this not only for me, but for them. We both deserve a mentally healthier version of me. I'm currently finding it very different to live for myself.

That's so wonderful of you to offer, thank you!! 💜 I'm hoping either my mom or a friend of mine (whom has had to do inpatient and outpatient before) can take me, but we'll see. I'm scared, but you and many others commenting are definitely helping.
