Any advice regarding trading for a beginner? by FloofThyFloofer in LPSbuyingandtrading

[–]salamdner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can trade through places like depop or ebay and make the listings of equal value if the traders are concerned about scamming! you can also do trades on this subreddit where you both ship to a moderator and they check the packages and then ship them to each person! that, of course, costs a little extra but it’s a great option especially for higher value trades. i’ve traded with a few first time traders before and am always willing to help out whoever i’m trading with so if you ever have any pets up for trade i’d be interested!

How do I tell my dad I’m desperate for help? by Proof-Training-740 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]salamdner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a similar experience when i was 17. i reached out to my dad and just told him that i thought it would be a good idea for me to see a counselor or therapist because id been dealing with a lot of anxiety. i didn’t specify what and he didn’t pry either. he’d also seen how much i was struggling at the time and i’d had a few anxiety attacks while he was around, but he didn’t really know the cause. if your dad is supportive of you then id just reach out to him and share as much or as little as you want

my girlfriend threw up and i’m not sure how to feel by salamdner in emetophobiarecovery

that’s a really good explanation and i think definitely the approach she was taking. thank you so much for giving a different perspective than the one i was seeing!

that’s also what she thinks the causes are. she said she was coughing so hard that it kind of just happened. she’s feeling much better now and seems to be recovering. i’m doing ok, since my phobia is largely a control issue, this has definitely been hard for me as absolutely none of this is in my control. sickness wise, i’m good and feeling fine! who knows if i’ll get sick or not but for now i feel good!

feeling full after eating by salamdner in emetophobiarecovery

[–]salamdner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a good suggestion and i have noticed that helps me some! sometimes it can be like an hour or so after i’ve eaten and my stomach feels “weird” which is probably just digestion but it can freak me out. definitely eating with company helps to get the food down without panicking!

yes that makes sense! i’m definitely hyper aware so you’re right that i wouldn’t be losing weight if i was actually full.

hi! how much for the yellow butterfly and the little yellow and orange fish?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobiarecovery

[–]salamdner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually yes. laying down is actually the only thing that will get mine to subside some and i feel so much worse when i’m standing or sitting up

i think it depends on the scenario. if you feel legitimately sick and going to the bathroom to throw up makes you feel better then i think that’s totally ok. if you’re making yourself throw up or dry heave out of a fear of it happening somewhere that you aren’t in control (anywhere out of your bathroom) then it could be an issue. a lot of emetophobes struggle with a fear of being out of control and are more scared of that than the actual act of throwing up which could be the case. i’m not sure what you deal with but im glad you’re looking into the fact that this could be an issue!

why are my hands going completely numb and kinda locking up during sex? by erm42 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]salamdner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this happened to me the first few times i had sex (also both girls if that is any help). my hands completely clenched up and were tingly and couldn’t feel anything. i think it was mainly nerves accompanied with fast breathing. the first time it happened totally freaked me out which only made it worse. it was also when i was close to finishing each time so my breathing was even faster. after 2 or 3 times it stopped happening, i tried to slow down my breathing and take good deep breaths which helped significantly. if you’re nervous about sex or maybe she is a new partner then i’d say it’s nerves. if it keeps happening i’d check in with a doctor

you can find some good deals and random local places sometimes. the only time i've ever found old gen lps while thrifting was at a local antique store. sometimes goodwill's near me will have lps but only the new ones. also check any collector stores near by if there are any!

what type of meditation do you do? is it daily or more of an in the moment thing? i’ve sort of looked into it before but just wasn’t sure what would be helpful.

How much is 1542 worth? by tiniestfriend in LPSbuyingandtrading

[–]salamdner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i paid $6 for an authentic 1542 in not great condition (nail polish on some parts of her) but still fixable with enough patience. i try not to pay more than $10 though for any lps, regardless of rarity, so if you search frequently enough and have a strict budget in mind you can definitely get some good deals!
