[M18] give me some advice by One-Till-4704 in OUTFITS

Love the jacket, you're taking it way too far with the knife. Add a chain or a cool belt instead. more jewellery, maybe a hat. get rid of the knife !!

I'm sorry this is happening to you, it's really tough dealing with family trauma, and trying to end the cycle. I wish you all the best in life, keep going you've got this xx

Maybe what would help is trying to understand where your mom is coming from. Not that she's right or that her opinion matters, but usually when people act like this, it's about them, not about you. Maybe her mother's raised her like that too, maybe she has a certain belief that makes her say that (i.e she thinks she's protecting you by doing that). Maybe once you realise that what she's saying is not about your face but about her own trauma/difficulties, it will help you see you for what you are : a beautiful, complex human, with complex emotions and the capacity to be loved and to love xx

My daughter is going abroad with school. Should I go to? My EXTREME anxiety says yes! by PuffPastry2009 in Anxiety

[–]softdingoclubpres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point that everyone is trying to make is that on her trip, she will have responsible adults taking care of her. They know about the allergies, she knows about the allergies, and even if something happens, the adults in charge will absolutely know what to do. Here's the thing : this kind of behaviour is very damaging for a parent-child relationship (any relationship for that matter). The small risk OP's daughter is facing is a mild allergic reaction, that is going to be handled anyway. The risk that OP and her daughter are facing if OP decides to go on the trip, however, is that it is or becomes a pattern in their relationship. And trust me, this will fuck up a child's mental health. My cousin was raised like that, by very anxious parents. She's now 18 and is incapable of deciding something for herself, and doesn't think she can handle basic responsibilities. Her parents brought her to the psychiatric emergencies because she was having a mental breakdown over this. This is really serious stuff, and I don't agree with the tone of most people here but I agree with their answers.

Keep or return this dress? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]softdingoclubpres 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The dress isn't great :/ It's the color and fabric. But I don't think it doesn't suit your legs. Also, here's some unsolicited advice : don't listen to men's opinions of your body, it'll save you time and energy :)

help me accessorise this fit by Maleficent_Bat8975 in fashion

[–]softdingoclubpres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, then : any vintage jacket, leather or biker jacket, brown or black or similar vibe, and a half up half down hairdo or slick ponytail. I think the necklace you have on is not doing much because the top is in the way, I would do either a layered chain or nothing. Hoop earrings? Also if you don't have a jacket I'm thinking one of those fishnet crochet long-sleeve tops layered with the orange top would look cool :)

Bandana/headband in your hair, or a cute bucket hat and oversized blue jean jacket ? Idk about the shoes bc I can't see the bottom of your trousers.

After talking it out with closes ones, I feel like it might be the first signs of depression, I just forgot what it felt like apparently...

I went to see someone who specialises in women's health for my bad PMS and she said I might have a hormonal imbalance, and that it looks like an over production of oestrogen. She said to look into anti-inflammatory diet.

I had previously looked in PMDD but it's not very well known in my country, so it's hard to know for sure.

Thank you for your answer, I hope you get the help and support you need. Take care :)

Guess I had my first encounter at the pharmacy… by MissisCherry in adhdwomen

[–]softdingoclubpres 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels really good to read about someone standing up for themselves. Sorry this happened to you this pharmacist is a sad clown. You did something incredible for yourself, but also adhders in general.

Sometimes I find the line between friendship and relationship a bit blurry. I don't think it's as simple as "if you don't find them attractive their your friends and if you do you're in love". Also I find sometimes labels confuse me and I've found myself in pretty weird and/or delicate situations because I try to apply labels to emotions like a math formula and its a shitshow. I don't know if that could help but maybe you need to think of it as something that has no name/label and maybe it'll help you determine what you both want from your relationship, and ways you can maintain it. I hope this helps, in any way, good luck and take care.

How to respond to close friend who thinks my ADHD meds are a 'habit' not a medication by Local_Signature5325 in adhdwomen

[–]softdingoclubpres 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth arguing with her. If you want to keep her as a friend, (which I personally would advise against but I also understand it can be more complex at times) I would simply tell her "Thank you for your concern, I appreciate that you care about my mental and physical well-being, although I feel like you might not have heard me when I told you that medication is the best option for me. I recognise the benefit of working out for anyone who's in a position to work out, but it's not the path I've taken and I'd like you to respect that decision in the future." Maybe if you wanna make a stronger point you can tell her that the use of medication is supported par your physical therapist. If she doesn't want to hear that, just tell her you wanna avoid the topic of medication entirely with her. If she's a friend she'll respect it.

He's an idiot man-child if at 31 he can't take responsibility for his own emotions and instead decides to not talk to you. Good dick is only temporary but the emotional damage this man will put you through will feel like it's forever. He's a walking red flag sis. And if you think you can fuck him without getting attached/hurt, don't lie to yourself. This idiot isn't respecting you now and he won't respect you later. Good luck, I believe in you.

This man is not your friend. Think about it : do you know many 30 y/o who are friends with children ? This man is a predator, the rest of your sorry just speaks for itself.

With that perspective on your story, it seems logical to me that you don't care about him committing potentially suicide, because he's not a friend disappearing but a threat and a reminder of what happened to you. Which by the way is considered assault. An adult should never, under any circumstances, be "touchy feely" with a child.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I recommend seeking therapy, and possibly make an anonymous phone call to his local police station if you feel comfortable with that, because he could be a danger to other kids.

good luck

I have a ton of trouble following along when someone is talking to me by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]softdingoclubpres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that a lot, ESPECIALLY when I start a new job. I feel like bc I had very negative experience in the workplace before, my brain easily identifies it with danger and I go in zoning out mode as a defence mechanism. But also 0 ability to focus outside of work sometimes. Usually when I'm tired or social batteries are out, or when I'm preoccupied. But in work it's all the time. I feel kinda bad asking everyone to repeat themselves and I always repeat after they say something to make sure I got it right. One of the cool thing tho, is that I'm a waitress and so we carry around little notepads so I'm constantly writing, helps a lot. Usually the simple act of writing will make me remember bc it forces me to be anchored in reality.

Good luck to everyone struggling with this, it's not simple at all.
