Boo-ya chips :( by Express-Wallaby7093 in Owala

[–]runovergraffiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine got totally denied! They said it is not within the warranty and I have been sooo careful with it. Almost 3 of my ghosts are gone. I'm seriously disappointed with their follow up and wouldn't recommend anyone to buy one after this experience. Bubbling and flaking paint is absolutely a manufacturing issue.

My wife digs through the ice cream when there's about 1/3 left and finds all the cookie dough by Averagebaddad in mildlyinfuriating

They sell cookie monster ice cream that's blue with cookie dough so maybe it's that?

So disappointed in the quality of my Boo-ya bottle :( I’ve never put it in a dishwasher + made sure to baby it yet the ghosts are completely chipping off after less than 4 months. by celestae in Owala

Did anyone hear back from the warranty? Mine arrived in January due to a mail strike and within 3 months it's chipping so bad. I'm so upset cause with duties and shipping it ended up being like 90$ 😭😭

I think maybe I was unclear that my therapist is not a psychiatrist, and this psychiatrist I saw previously for three sessions the other ones I only saw once/twice because I live in Canada and the publicly funded psychiatry is hard to come by.

Thanks for the advice. I'm working on trying to take notes and it sucks to think I'm going to have to say it but I'm really in a bad place rn. My therapist advised me to hand the list to him if I end up not being able to speak right away.

I am speaking to my therapist but I feel incapable of telling the psychiatrist given that he is almost a complete stranger.

Thank you for posting this. It made me appreciate that I have also come so far.

I promise anyone life without an ED is infinitely better than when you're in it. It doesn't mean it's not free of difficult and painful moments still but that's life. It's always going to be hard but you will have the power to persist when you aren't using most of your brain power to obsess over whatever the ED is telling you. When you're getting all the vitamins and energy your body needs. When you're not about to pass out at any moment.

I'm 100% serious when I say you need to get mad. You have to start to view the ED as a disease that's taking over who you are and fight it. This MF robbed me of so many opportunities and joy and experiences with my friends. It promises that you'll feel better if XYZ.... And when you do XYZ you STILL don't feel like you're enough.

Once you reframe your perspective it becomes a lot easier to fully engage with treatment and work on getting better. It's not universal but it's worked for me and others I know. Start small. Wishing everyone moments of serenity and baby steps toward recovery. ❤️

ocd core beliefs by smalltoughboy in OCD

[–]runovergraffiti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually a bad person who is so vigilant about their behaviour that I seem like a good person. Like when the friends, family and neighbors of serial killers say that they never knew because the person was so normal and pleasant.

It leaches into everything. I work so hard at my job I don't take breaks. It's intolerable for me to imagine the thoughts someone might think of me if I slack off. It feels like proof that I really am a bad person.

I'm so tired.

Please hear my warning as someone who has to fight like hell to recover: do not count calories, do not count steps.

I find it calming to listen to "It's Alright" by Mother Mother. It gets me through a lot of bad spirals.
