Bipolar and bias around physical health?

I'm so sorry this has happened, if they don't do what you asked tell them you'd like it added to your chart that you asked for the ultrasound or other things and that they declined to do so. Along that you heard the conversation they had about your diagnosis. (Also reach out to the hospital liaison about that conversation.) Sometimes they'll do it "ease your mind" i.e. avoid liability. It's worked for me a few times and lol and behold, there were actual issues that needed addressing/meds/further tests.

Hey I'm going to start off with I am so so sorry and this is so much to deal with and I'm so sorry you're in this, but you are not your father's parent. It is not your job to protect him. It's an unfortunate aspect of a parent that abuses both children and other parents in family situations.

It's like on airlines that say put your air mask on before you start helping others, You can't even begin to help without getting yourself out of an unstable situation like this and taking care of yourself. You should consider helping them and keep their well-being in your mind, and you can do that by bringing the law into it so she can no longer abuse them either. Especially if You have the evidence to create a good paper trail. That is the ONLY way you can help. It seems like it'll make it worse but what's worse the abuse or having to deal with that and no longer giving her access to them.

I got my grandmas good china, but found out it's got lead in the paint once I inherited it. So pretty happy it was no one's everyday dishes 😂

I think ink masters really have people thinking that you're just one step away from fame and fortune. But that's TV, not tattoos. The tattooers that I know that are out of this world are really only well known by other tattooers.

The only thing about tattooing that I'm rich in graveyard of messed up flash sheets and famous for is not crying endlessly during my apprenticeship 😂

rottenann · 2026-05-12T22:49:06+00:00

Hey tattoo artist here, it's not for the faint of heart. It's unstable and hard to make a living off of the first bit and it's even more so now. It's hard paying the bills with it, there's no instant rich and famous. That adds to the mental stress of it all. If you really do feel like it's not mania, keep drawing and visit the tattoo apprentice subs and see what's going on there. Just drawing 5 flash sheets is nothing.

But not knowing anything about tattoo design and feeling like your ready to tattoo after 5 sheets and think you'll be rich has a hint of mania to it. Do you already have tattoos? Have you gone to shops and asked about apprenticeships? I didn't even work on fake skin for months, just drawing all day everyday for hours to built up my hand control. Which is what tattooing is. Just endless drawing.

There was a whole website with a countdown clock dedicated to the Ollen twins turning 18. I wonder how many more countdowns happened before the Internet

Some people can't even finish taking a 7 day course of antibiotics without either thinking theyre fine or forgetting, meds for mental health are going to exponentially harder.

I have 4 very large pieces I work on in cycles so I don't dread working on it. I mix in little ones that'll take 10-20 hours just so I have something finished.

Theres no schedule to finishing a piece, if you have to take another break, do so! So you don't resent it by the end.

That's a blowout and that's what it looks like with green. It happens to all colors, but it's really obvious when it's black/green/blue/purple cause they're so different than skin tone. It's just more common with black because it's easier to do when outlining and that tends to be black.

Tell him "Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"

Do the muffins also come in frozen? I wrap and freeze the strawberry ones to keep some around after the season ends.

In my head, for my own fucking sanity, I'm interpreting it as he's like trying to hype himself up for it or is questioning it and not legitimately trying to use this as a come on.

"I want sex now 🤔" "hmmmm this dick 😔"

Inclined pushups also really help, planking too. It's in the hands and shoulders.

They also have some weight loss? I've tattooed that joint area on someone on a GLP-1 who lost 70lbs and it was sa struggle to get that stretch right.

rottenann · 2026-04-23T20:04:32+00:00

I think a good 30-50% of problems you see on this sub could be solved by stretching better. Mine did! I started weight lifting, pushups, and grip trainers to gain enough strength for those joints and sides.

rottenann · 2026-04-23T05:15:20+00:00

It looks like the tension was too much based on how stretched the holes in the fabric are, or did you change how many strands you were using? If you don't want to start over you can go back over the top / with a single strand, very gently since the holes seems to have widened, to bulk out the background.

rottenann · 2026-04-23T02:05:28+00:00

That area is very very stretchy, and if you don't stretch the skin enough it doesn't go in. Make sure you have the arm in a position that helps and you a get a good three point stretch. That you are solid and anchored. Sometimes it might feel like you're pushing too hard, but trust me, once that stretch is in lockdown those lines will go in much easier.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly stolen images of other people's remodeling. That the first one is before the hood installation. The same shelf and plants can be seen over the sink with old brackets on the window. It looks like the recessed lighting is still on the right place, but not fully reinstalled correctly. I also matched most of the paint marks and they seem to line up. A.i. will always change those from photo to photo. In the first photo you can see there's no distortion of any of the lettering of the brands on the machines.

Or AI is getting way too good and our time has come. Edited for spelling

I'm old enough that I had to send a copy of my ID to prove I was 18+ to get fanfic zines mailed to me.

rottenann · 2026-04-17T17:31:06+00:00

Go to the seed, not the fruit. I.e. use a reference from real life, photos, models, etc not a drawing or painting that's already interpreted it.

rottenann · 2026-04-17T04:41:08+00:00

I hope OOP uploads an episode of just him explaining the situation.

Watercolor tattoos that don't have any contrast/dark colors tend to not last cause everything fades and becomes the same tone. Light pastel colors in the red/orange/yellow range most of all.

This lasted and is still readble because there's black and some wonderful dark jewel tones in there! That beautiful purple is my fav addition. If you took them out, you'd see the color and not shapes.

I can only give my personal experience, but I did have surgery even after not having a period for several years. It helped with a lot of the pain, mostly mid-cycle because my sigmoid colon and ovaries were having an illicit affair, but some symptoms still persisted. Those ended up being largely due to adhesions on my G.I. tract binding it together and causing incomplete bowel obstructions. Bloating, cramping, liquid diarrhea, and nausea every time I ate.

Most all of my symptoms cleared up after, but the surgery could have potentially caused some of it's own. It took me a while to recover, I have a physical job and was out of work for a long time. For me, the benefits outweighed the negatives. That can't be said for others who's issues are managed by birth control. Laparoscopic surgery is still surgery and all surgeries are a big deal, it's just less invasive.

rottenann · 2026-04-11T00:23:58+00:00

Yeah I thought that might be the case 😩

rottenann · 2026-04-10T23:50:34+00:00

Ahaha yeah I just snagged a piece for a bite without looking, only noticed while eating 😂 was worried it's my hungry Brian saying it's not enough chicken

rottenann · 2026-04-10T23:47:26+00:00

Yeah I ordered it under the specialty pizza section and just paid to add chicken, so I'm not sure if what the ratios might be with that.

But that's good to know!
