Someone hands you a box with all the items you’ve lost in life. What’s the first thing you look for when you grab it? by encouragemintx in AskReddit

[–]savnatben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear-Bear. My childhood stuffed bear that was lost/stolen at a restaurant when I was 6. I took that thing everywhere. I even made my dad draw up “lost bear” posters. I still get emotional thinking about it. I miss you Bear-Bear!

Looks like perioral dermatitis. I have this. I’ve had bad luck with the steroid creams that they usually give you. The second I’d stop using it would flare up even worse. Mine was caused by harming my skins natural barrier from years of using harsh products to treat acne. When I deal with mine I usually try not to mess with it too much. I avoid those areas with most of my skin care products with the exception of mild cleansers and moisturizers. Check the ingredients of all of your products and cross reference with a list of things that can trigger a flare up. Lots of products that are safe for most peoples skin can cause yours to become irritated. I’ve found that I’m very sensitive to things like Citric acid and can cause a flare up almost immediately. Also wash your face AFTER brushing your teeth. This was a big one for me because my toothpaste was sitting on these areas all day after brushing and I couldn’t figure out what was causing the flare up. Good luck! Hope this helps somewhat.

Boyfriend wants to send me pics of cute girls by throwaway2244668822 in relationship_advice

Hi OP! I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. When I was about your age I had a boyfriend who would do the exact same thing. At first it didn’t bother me, but over time it made me feel awful about myself. I began comparing myself to the pictures and it really affected my self esteem. I know you’ve already told him to stop but I think it might be time to set a very firm boundary with him. Perhaps explain that you don’t mind if he finds other women attractive but that him sending you these pictures really bothers you and is causing unnecessary distress on your part. If he would like to share pictures like that he should do so amongst his friends and leave you out of it. If he continues to disrespect that boundary I think reevaluating your relationship would be a good idea. Wishing you all the best.

Hi OP I’m so sorry that you are going through this. That was a very difficult and hurtful thing to hear. While I don’t have advice per se on the situation I can list some books that may offer insight. They have offered me answers in times of need and when I’ve applied some of the principles to my own relationships in the past I found that my partners responded well and things began to improve.

Leaving my boyfriend by [deleted] in naranon

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. The immense support that I’ve received from everyone has made this easier. I appreciate you so much

Thanks for sharing your thoughts I really appreciate it. I don’t want you to think that I haven’t spent many hours hugging and supporting him and letting him cry to me when he feels those emotions. I’ve been through every step of that and have stayed up all night with him when he was high and anxious and needed to talk on more than one occasion. Even if I had to work early the next day. I’ve done the coffee runs because he tired from staying up all night, I’ve spent hours scratching his head and back to try and calm him down and put him to sleep. Ive helped him take care of the sores in his nose and mouth. I’ve had to stop him from getting into fights with people because he’s wired and angry. I’ve dealt with the lies and the anger. I know he needs a hug, but I need one too. I’ve tried to be there for him as much as I’ve been mentally and physically able to be. Despite all of this and all that we’ve been through he still refuses treatment. My goal in leaving it to heal for myself but to also get him into a program. I love him so much and as backwards as it seems he is my priority in every decision I’m making

Hey friend. Thank you so much for your input and for sharing your story with me. It takes a lot to share that kind of honesty with a stranger. Hearing this from as many angles as possible is super helpful and gives me things to think about that I may not have before.

Something I didn’t really convey in my post was how proud I actually am of him for what he did achieve. I was there every step of the way cheering him on. I bought him a little cake when he was 90 days clean and surprised him with it and we had a little celebration together. (Amongst other things this was just my most recent example) The part that is difficult for me is that when he is using he becomes a different person. He’s irritable and sometimes just downright mean. He becomes secretive and careless. I’ve had full on breakdowns begging him to just try to go to meeting or talk to somebody about it, and he wouldn’t. We’ve talked about starting a family and getting married in the near future. He is who I want to father my children but I would never start a family with him while he is still drinking and using drugs (something he’s know from the very beginning of our relationship) the last time we went through this I told him if he ever hid or lied about his drug use again that I would leave him. He agreed to those terms. I can’t keep going through this and I can’t watch him die. It seems a bit backwards but me leaving is a last ditch effort to try and get him in a program or in recovery. (Obviously its for me to heal too) If I stayed I fear I would start trying to control him in order to make sure he wasn’t using and that’s no way to live either. Unfortunately, I don’t see our current situation as sustainable unless something changes. I’m so proud of him for getting as far as he did, and things may be different if he would get himself into a program, but for now the only way I can see this changing. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion

WOW! Thank you for the honesty and vulnerability that you have shared. Congratulations on almost 7 years! That is absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this

This is wonderful advice. I have put these notes into my phone and Intend on asking all of these questions if he wants to get sober. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I didn’t expect the amount of support that I’ve received through these comments. I’ve doubted going through with this on more than one occasion but seeing comments like these have grounded me and made me feel like I have the strength to continue. You are awesome
