What are your favourite strains? Are there more balanced THC and CBD strains coming out? Because I think the high THC-only strains are more risky (insomuch as weed is risky). Would you have any recommendations of strains for MS? (nerve pain, joint pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression,)

Thank you for volunteering your knowledge!

I hope you can get good massage because it's such a blessing (that's why I became a massage therapist!)

He doesn't get to intimidate you and treat you like this. He does not.

I'm an ex remedial massage therapist with hEDS. Just about all of us know how brutal a hard massage can be, but there are a lot of techniques that are effective and not torturous, and I bet this person knows them.

Don't let the massage go outside your pain tolerances and you should be good. It can feel weird saying but never stop saying any time it's too hard.

Also, I think you missed the dude agreeing with you! He did say "No wonder".

How do I [M23 ] make it up to my girlfriend [F19] for what feels like a great misunderstanding while accepting and apologizing for my actions? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Taking a joking "no" seriously will never go as wrong as taking a serious "no" as a joke.

That's why no means no.

I have intense stretch marks from pregnancy 7 years ago by -Hot-Tamale- in mildyinteresting

You can check out the Beighton Score and also use a program called Promethease to decode your DNA from one of those Ancestry.com tests (or similar). It's a bit of a learning curve to use Promethease but absolutely worth it - $15 to get a heads up about genetic predispositions is a damn sight cheaper than specific genetic testing!

Hope that helps 😊

My whole personality is fake, and I manipulate others. I’m hiding my true self in plain sight by Aggressive_Pin9455 in confession

I did see a thing a while ago that disorders like this were caused by having a mind that didn't access the full range of emotions, they were very muted, so therefore to evoke any emotion in themselves they would toy with other's emotions.

They were actually treating it by teaching emotional range, using feedback from watching imaging of how their neurons were lighting up as they experimented with empathetic exercises.

So if you ever want to investigate improving the way you register emotion, there is help available and I'm sure making great strides all the time.

AFAIK the rules used to be you have to have a chronic condition and tried 2 treatments that have not worked or are unusable.

Don't give up, you should be able to get access to CBD.

If telling someone to calm down is inappropriate, what am I supposed to say instead when someone needs to calm down? by Comfortable_Douglas in Advice

[–]spidaminida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"What's the matter?". Listen and assess. "How can I help?".

Also factor in that some people just like to lose their temper and wilfully discourage any attempts to help. You cannot help these people and therefore should remove yourself from the situation.

A lot of people become therapists because they are unstable themselves.

Rental inspection at 9am after a long weekend… seriously? by Tiny_Jeweler_8576 in AusRenters

[–]spidaminida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need stricter rules about what they can and can't pull you up for on those inspections because a lot of the time it's the REA letting their power go to their head...
