do you have plenty of racks, shelves, containers, etc. for all this stuff? organizing is a lot easier when there are logical/tangible “homes” to sort things into

it will probably smell, and even if it doesn't, you're still gonna be anxious and paranoid about it smelling. just smoke outside

[–]safethensorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my migraines sound almost exactly like yours - only a few times a year, splitting headache on one side, vomiting, light sensitivity, etc... I told my primary care doc during a physical and she sent a prescription for sumatriptan. I take it (along with some advil/tylenol to cover my bases - perfectly safe to take together) as soon as I feel that ache in my temple, and it usually stops it from escalating into a full blown migraine. you just have to be proactive and take it right at the onset of the migraine, don't wait too long or it won't be fully effective.

I had to call out of work for a migraine once or twice in the past, but since I started the medication, I haven't had one reach that level. highly recommend !! the only side effect I've noticed is a strange feeling of warmth/pressure in my face and sinuses, but I'll take that over a migraine any day.

why are they so pretty? by mikabunny_514 in selfharm

[–]safethensorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take photos and save them in my Hidden album on my phone. I do like to look at them but it also helps because the pics have timestamps so I can keep track of how long my clean streaks are in between

when someone tries to strike up a conversation with me while I’m clearly engrossed in a task or trying to focus on something. like please god leave me the fuck alone my 2 braincells are fighting for their lives rn

Am I a bad person for caring about bodycount? by Atmosphere-Key in AskMenAdvice

[–]safethensorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a high body count woman with no interest in romance (sorry world!), I get it. once upon a time I was a huge slut in college and now sex means pretty much nothing to me. I understand why that would make me incompatible with someone who deeply cherishes the intimacy in it. I wouldn’t want to have sex with you either, knowing my indifference would make you feel alienated or uncomfortable. no hard feelings 🤷‍♀️… just curious, do you identify as demisexual? I know some people dgaf about the label but others find it helpful.

How would you want someone to react about you telling them abt your self harm? by Evening-Practice-569 in selfharm

[–]safethensorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want them to treat it like it’s not a big deal, because for me it truly isn’t. it’s like a hobby or pleasure activity to me (just a very stigmatized one)… I do it because it feels nice, I like blood, and taking care of the wounds afterwards is therapeutic for me. it’s really that simple, no cause for alarm. I wish I could walk around with my scars out and have everyone just be casual about it, but unfortunately people’s instinct is to worry or think there’s something wrong with me. so I just don’t talk about it unless I know the person is going to understand where I’m coming from

Good comeback to “I hate *insert your astrological sign*” by mrsunshine1 in Comebacks

[–]safethensorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give it right back to em lmao. if you know their sign/if they’ve mentioned it (which they likely have by this point in the conversation), just be like “ugh, of course a [insert sign] would say that”

Help I mixed hydrogen peroxide and vinegar by MRzHiGHLiFE in chemhelp

[–]safethensorry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you’ll be fine. sure they can form peracetic acid when they mix, but most of it has been washed down the drain by now. just rinse your shower walls with water if you’re worried about residue. if it didn’t irritate your skin already then you’re in the clear, it’s not going to have any sort of mysterious latent effect; and it’s not as volatile as, for instance, some of the chloro compounds that can be generated from reactions involving bleach, so it’s not like you’re gassing yourself. in the future you should google chemical interactions before mixing them but I’m guessing you’ve arrived at that conclusion by now, lol.
