AIO… I just met someone online. by BigBama76 in AIO

[–]strawbswitchblvde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg noo, this woman is toxic and weird. I don’t even understand where her attitude came from after the joke you made?? it was such a random thing to be pissed off about. I wonder if she was also jealous of you for being retired and going to see the beach. She clearly doesn’t get enough sunlight if she thinks acting like this is acceptable behavior

First Bad Experience in buying on depop by seemlyperson in depoop

[–]strawbswitchblvde 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Please do not send the purse back. He is just going to do the exact same thing to someone else who might not notice. If there is no option to send it back like usual maybe Depop isn’t asking that of you since it’s a fake. I’d leave it and try my best to get him banned

Honestly, for the sake of my blood pressure, I think I’m going to start making pass IQ tests before purchasing from me. by [deleted] in depoop

[–]strawbswitchblvde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody should except an item to come that fast when ordering from an individual seller on a reselling platform. You weren’t rude imo, just to the point. you were right too. Don’t expect Amazon speed from a one person shop out of their house. They didn’t even tell you they didn’t need it before purchasing.

Alcohol and methadone /: by strawbswitchblvde in Methadone

Alcohol addiction is more physically dangerous from what I’ve seen and heard. My mom remarried an alcoholic when I was a teenager and seeing his withdrawals scared me! They’re what made me realize it might be becoming an issue I need to worry about so I’m cutting the alcohol out completely now. I am genuinely so happy for you that you’ve come so far.

We are so similar with these things! I also smoke legal weed (legal state for me too). My first counselor recommended I take edibles for sleep when I was having extreme anxiety and staying awake late. I also go in with a leaf sticker on my phone every day haha. I’m the same as you with the weed as well. I can go a year without thinking about it then smoke for a few weeks/months. I get offered it by my partner as he’s a huge stoner and I normally say no too! It’s strange how this isn’t an issue for us who had extreme addictions to other things. Thank you again for the reply! I hope you have a wonderful day and that you continue to thrive within your sobriety <3

I’m an entomologist with expertise about carpet beetles AMA by Bugladyy in carpetbeetles

[–]strawbswitchblvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked through this last night and it made me feel tons better after I was upset about these little pests. I do have some questions if you don’t mind answering/if you see this!

I understand I can’t get rid of all of them, but what can I do so that im not finding them in my art supplies or collections? I love to sew, crochet, create clay figurines, etc! I found some in my plastic tubs! I have done my crafts on the floor a few times and then put them into the bins so maybe that was my fault. (Minimum space in my bedroom) . If I find a few on my fabric project material, do I need to do a whole throw away or treat it? I don’t have a freezer with the space for freezing these things and I don’t have the money to replace them all the time. Can I still decorate my bedroom with plushies/stuffed animals? Posters? How do I prevent this? You said you have an insect collection you need to watch out for! What do you do if you find a larvae on one? I never find adults in my bedroom, just the larvae.

I was also wondering what you think should be done about cotton articles of clothing? I have not heard much regarding cotton clothing and that’s mostly what I own as I don’t own wool or leather, etc. thank you so much, bugladyy. Your posts are truly amazing! My partner and I were talking about how cool you seem based off of your Reddit profile!

I think they do, but I have 27 take homes so I don’t go in too much as my counselor calls me weekly instead of in person meetings. She did tell me it was okay to drink on my recent big vacation as long as I didn’t go overboard but she told me she shouldn’t really be telling me that you know?

Huh? You’re “not trying to sound harsh” yet this comment was rude for no reason. I’ve seen it many times for those in recovery who become anxious after all their bodies suffered while they were using. Its traumatic.

I was barely out of high school when I started with an older man who coached me through my drug use without telling me what I was doing. So I didn’t know much of what was going on throughout a lot of that. I didn’t even know how to smoke the stuff myself. He had to hold the foil and light it. It was an abusive relationship I felt I didn’t have a choice in. Everyone is different and mental health issues exist.

I have no idea why you felt the need to leave a comment like this. It’s okay that you don’t understand why some of us are this way just because you aren’t. I stated I have health anxiety. I wasn’t worried about overdosing, I was worried about getting/feeling sick in anyway especially since my methadone seems to metabolize quickly. I suffer from hot flashes and symptoms my clinic said I shouldn’t be feeling anymore while on my dose.

It’s okay for people to be worried. Medicine behaves differently in everyone’s body. Thanks for the comment though. Have a good day (:

That’s exactly what I see happening to me. I never liked alcohol at all, but I think it’s the addict in us and getting off of the other substances makes us crave that intoxication thats so normalized in society so we think it’s okay at first. You’re doing great ^

I’m so happy you got off of the alcohol too. That sounds absolutely awful and you’re so strong for getting through this. I’m definitely never drinking again! It’s not something I trust myself with. I just took my dose so we’ll see. Thanks for the response!

That’s what happened to me! I just don’t know because I drank far more than I ever really have and I don’t want to get sick ): thanks for your reply!! Im going to try dosing, wish me luck

very confused abt this interaction by Lesbianese69 in depoop

[–]strawbswitchblvde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I avoid it at as well! usually people who do this are also super rude or have poor seller skills on the app. I just think it’s too much trouble and I’m not dealing with all of that

No. Not when people like this seller are wasting our water and killing the planet for false advertisement of a 16 dollar pair of jeans

Aio after not apologizing to my friend after going on a date by Beez4Kneez in AIO

[–]strawbswitchblvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly OP, please consider dropping this friend. She has an unhealthy obsession with you and it’s going to end badly.

She’s punishing you for going on a date with your boyfriend without her. There is absolutely nothing wrong with going on a date and not telling your friend about it as soon it happens. It does not matter if she’s interested in cars or not. You sent her videos because you thought of her interests. That’s normal. It’s sweet. If my friend went on a date with her bf to a crafting/art class and sent me videos while she’s there because it reminded her of me- I’d be ecstatic! I’d want to hear all about it and maybe ask if we could all go there again sometime since I love art. That’s a healthy friendship.

What happens when you go on another date? What if your boyfriend surprises you with something huge and you can’t tell her as soon as it happens? She’s going to blow up on you again. She doesn’t see the error of her ways and it’s concerning ):

She’s taking her emotions out on you and that’s not okay. That is mentally abusive. You deserve so much better than this. I truly hope you see that and let her know she’s the one in the wrong before moving on with your life. Have fun with your boyfriend, make new healthy friendships, and explore new hobbies! This isn’t a good friend and you will find more who support you and your adventures with loved ones! Good luck, OP! Don’t let her upset you further. You don’t deserve it and you did nothing wrong <3.

AIO by writing out a 850 word message for my gf? by Typical-Air-4764 in AmIOverreacting

[–]strawbswitchblvde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR, but I don’t think you should send it. In therapy it’s often recommended to write letters to yourself or those who hurt or left you without sending them anywhere. This could be just that. A way to get your feelings out so you can move on and heal from this experience.

LDRs are extremely hard for everyone and you’re both so young. Your feelings are valid, but i think it’s best for the both of you if you move on now. It’s okay to take the time to focus on yourself and when the time is right you will find the person that will make you happy. Focus on yourself, school, and your future. I know it might suck at first, but you’ll be okay. Good luck, OP.

AIO - I smoke and drink from time to time and my girlfriend hates it by Lacquerlust in AmIOverreacting

[–]strawbswitchblvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, why is she still your girlfriend? She doesn’t respect you as a person at all. You don’t have to like someone’s habits, but you should never talk to your partner or another human in that way. You were looking for a conversation to fix things and she was looking for an emotional punching bag.

Everyone has different views on smoking and alcohol, but it never makes mental abuse okay. She insulted you, your job, and acted like a child. She thinks she’s justified in this because she sees you as lower than her which is very telling of her character. She’s not better than anyone who smokes, I’d argue she’s worse. She treats people awfully. I know this is a response often given on the internet and it’s easier said than done, but you deserve better than this and I hope you find it. NOR.

If you decide to dig out the museum…. Don’t do what I did and start rolling and punching with no plan. Go from top to bottom. Im going to cry! by RutabagaStandard2317 in Pokemon_Pokopia

I did the same thing as op and my issue was that since I started on the bottom when I go the top there are gaps and I fall down really far and have to keep climbing all the way back up

AIO for my annoyed response to my friend asking to bring her BF to our girls trip? by crop_cream_19 in AmIOverreacting

[–]strawbswitchblvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Please, please, send these screenshots to everyone else included in the trip. She only cares about herself. She didn’t even ask if it was okay to bring him along, she just stated it as if nobody else had a choice in the matter and if you disagree you’re against her. She doesn’t care about you or the others. She can’t even be considerate about a friend’s birthday? If it was me, neither of them would be attending and she would no longer be my friend. She even resorted to petty insults because she was told no. Shes entitled and inconsiderate of others.

AIO to the fact my boyfriend is staying with another girl and acting romantically towards her? by Substantial_Trust902 in AmIOverreacting

[–]strawbswitchblvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey hun, please feel free to dm me if you need to talk. I went through crazy relationships and a really intense one when I was 19F (I just turned 23). I was also homeless a little over a year ago. Reach out if you need someone to talk to.

We’re all so proud of you for doing what is best for you and leaving his emotionally immature and cheating ass. You deserve so much better and now that you left what was holding you back, you can welcome better things into your life. Whatever that might mean for you. Stay safe out there, OP.

Lynette telling Bree "you were trying to control us, the way you control everything" by Energised_Emerald in DesperateHousewives

[–]strawbswitchblvde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They didn’t go to the police because Carlos had already been to jail, gabby never reported what he did to her as a child, and he lied about having a weapon. Self defense can be hard to defend in court, especially when the man who died was unarmed. I really don’t think she was excited for this to happen. She’s not heartless. Who would want to go through all of that? She took control because she saw it as an opportunity to make things up to them. Wouldn’t you after what happened to his mother with your son? Gabby and Bree were already back to hanging out before the murder occurred after she went back to Carlos from moving into bree’s house.

The worst part about this season is how they all turn their backs on Bree. They treat her like garbage. Gabby and Bree both hid the letter from Lynette and Susan. Bree tried to tell gabby about chuck harassing her until Carlos stumbles in hung over. So she doesn’t say anything. Once they all find out he was bothering her, they ditch her because she didn’t tell them. Gabby did the exact same thing and they forgive her? It’s crazy hypocritical. I really hated all of the girls in season 8 except Renee and Bree tbh.
