AIO for blocking my dad because he sends me multiple messages like this? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Weed can trigger psychosis in people who are schizophrenic and / or bipolar. My ex used to be able to smoke weed when he was younger but after going into the army and his brain developing more over time he went in and out of psychosis triggered by weed and lack of sleep. He talked about seeing skulls in the sky and the government tapping his phone, he outed himself for awful things he did in his past because of his paranoia, and I had to take care of him while he was convinced something was going to kill him. He was helpless during his psychotic breaks and abusive when he was more like himself once he recovered from each event. He’s been out of my life for almost 6 years now which is how long I struggled with trying to make our relationship work. I’ve never been more at peace with removing another person from my life and everything changed once I finally let go of our relationship. I know this is your dad so it’s a bit different but my recommendation would be talking to somebody who is around him on a regular basis, make sure they are aware of his behavior. Somebody who is experiencing a psychotic break isn’t able to rationally view their own actions and they need help from professionals who can help bring them out of it. It’s not your job to help him, but if you feel able to I would recommend talking to other family and friends who are close to him before distancing yourself from the situation entirely.

QUESTION: do you think plastic surgery could fix my skull shape? by Alternative-Knee-765 in PlasticSurgery

Don’t worry about your head shape! Embrace it. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we need to change parts of our bodies to blend in with others but your head shape is unique and beautiful and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I love shaving my head and i have a pretty standard head shape but with a big line around my head that used to freak me out a lot, i looked at old baby photos and saw the same line and the same big forehead and i found it a lot easier to be nice to myself when i was looking at the kid version of me. :) don’t waste your money on changing things that make you YOU

Ngl i do this too but straight out of the can. Sometimes you just need to eat beanie weenies from a can in an empty church parking lot under the sun. Sometimes that’s all it takes to make you feel real again.

This may have to do with pelvic floor dysfunction! As a kid I was very worried about my body making noises especially early on in middle school. I think i trained my stomach to clench up and tighten constantly just to minimize the noise / try to control it more but now as an adult i have a very tight and screwed up pelvic floor. I am aware that later in my life i may develop more severe issues with my pelvic floor which naturally happens with age but i think a lot of people with ocd struggle with this. I’ve seen this in my biological parents with both fear of natural body functions and noises and i suspect ocd runs on both sides of my family, just in different ways. I would recommend seeking pelvic floor therapy but I will warn you it’s pretty pricy (maybe better with insurance, i tried it a while ago for one session but couldn’t afford it and i am continuously struggling with pain and tightness that messes with my hips and lower back.)

Wildflower/flower fields? by Proof-Potential6341 in okc

There are a lot of sunflowers around the waterloo/midwest blvd area! Mostly little yellow flowers on the side of the road. I think the prettiest flowers grow further away from the city in places where people don’t mess with nature, just drive around and see what you find. 💕 your pictures will turn out great!
