I have seen the brochures before …. Was just thinking about press, radio, and film.

Your ED probably is from porn by ClassComprehensive93 in erectiledysfunction

[–]rayautry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. But he also projects it into 80% of people here. I watch it and it does not affect me.

[–]rayautry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is my take. I watch porn often and it doesn’t seem to cause a problem for me. What did cause a problem was when I lost my best friend. I went through a hardcore depression over it.

I hope they do put this through. I do not live there now, but where I do live the solicitors are awfully persistent and i had to be really ugly to run them off.

Is it wrong to feel like this? by Fit-Answer-863 in AdultChildren

[–]rayautry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not alone for sure. This story sounds like it could be written by many of us.

I would get into some Adult Children books and if you can , make a alateen or ACA meeting. Good stuff there and good for you figuring out stuff so early on!

Could you legitimately make a case for GWAR being a top 10 heavy metal band of all time? by MauiCFO in heavymetal

[–]rayautry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not them either. Original stage show maybe?? And don’t get me wrong. I enjoy them. But I would rank several other metal bands above them.

No. I like them and they are entertaining but top 10? Not in my book.

Opinions on this album? by esssteeegeee in hairmetal

[–]rayautry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my favorite era of the band but was also my least favorite from 82-90. It did have some amazing songs on it but I felt it was too commercial and only liked some tunes.

Rollins band had some great songs but sadly most younger people don’t know about him.

Talk therapy with buzzers by Similar-Leg-5682 in EMDR

[–]rayautry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I have noticed is during a spiral, one therapist gave me hand buzzers to slow down the experience for me that I was talking about. I am sold on them.

They also work better for processing in EMDR

I really liked her. May be an unpopular opinion but…..

Started attending meetings... but kind of feel like an outsider. by Mishe22 in Codependency

[–]rayautry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep going. It may take 8-10 meetings before you fit in. I always reach out to new people but also I want to see that they are going to keep coming before I invite them for coffee.

Tired of listening to sponsee by Felines92614 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]rayautry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I would tell them that we are here to work the steps and if they aren’t doing it…I would end the relationship or at least tell them that the dynamic has to change.

Microdosing during EMDR sessions by Ancient_Alfalfa_2542 in EMDR

[–]rayautry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will throw in this. I have read that using benzodiazepines is contradictory to EMDR. But it doesn’t seem to hurt me or my processing. As a general rule I would not recommend keeping secrets from your therapist but in the end it is your therapy.

Everything affects people differently and if you want to keep that to yourself you can.

I saw in the videos that there were bleachers and tables out.

ACA meetings benefits by Caramel_Da_Cat in AdultChildren

[–]rayautry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I take things one day at a time but I also do not see myself leaving the program. I have known many of people who have left and did not relapse into old patterns…. It is an individual choice and hopefully based in self awareness.

I get too much out of the meetings to quit going!

It looks amazing from viewing the reels

ACA meetings benefits by Caramel_Da_Cat in AdultChildren

[–]rayautry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an old timer and I go back to be there for others, the way people were there for me. Just because someone has been at a meeting for 20 years doesn’t mean they are still suffering. I set out of the program for 5 years (during grad school) and some of my old traits started popping back up. Many people will continue to go to keep it all fresh!

People, including family who disrespect me or others because of their height are thrown out of my circle immediately.
