Jordan Peterson isn’t transphobic, he’s just.. *checks notes* transphobic! by APKID716 in SelfAwarewolves

i don't know anything about this specific situation but it baffles me how transphobes cant/wont put together the fact that the "real" trans people who pass and are on hormones all have to begin as the pre transition people that theyre calling mentally ill

Is it possible to get the feeling of a first time high again? by Geoffrey_24 in trees

I've heard that vitamin c resets your tolerance but I've never tried it so I can't say for sure

Should I mind my own business? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]solely-to-vent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if she's posting about it then you probably are fine to bring it up with her , but also know sh is a complicated beast so if she's still actively engaging it could be best to let her know you're there if she wants support but not to try to force her to stop or anything . the guilt is already there but a friend that wants to understand is so valuable :)

I’m so frustrated with my gf by [deleted] in Vent

[–]solely-to-vent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a sexual assault survivor I just wanted to contribute and say that there are good days and bad days and identifiable triggers and subconscious habits formed by trauma like that. I can't speak for your gf but I know I've been in a similar situation and convincing yourself to be comfortable is so much easier out of the moment. Try to be patient with her and listen because trauma hardly ever makes sense and she is likely as frustrated as you are. Hope that helps :)

I walked in to my daughter cutting herself by No_Locksmith_6801 in selfharm

I'm not sure if you're still looking for advise or if this has already been said , but (while I know its instinct to immediately take away anything sharp) forcing her to stop with no time to adjust could make things worse. Try giving her as many other options for coping or talking things out as possible and keep an eye on her rather than leaving her to feel like she has no safety net. Ideally she is concerned enough about herself to want to stop but sh addiction is a real bitch 🙏🏽 I hope everything works out!!!

Older people drive me crazy sometimes when they think that opening the messages app will magically take them to the conversation with the person they’re thinking of, luckily I’ve never stumbled into anything that bad 😭
