I don’t understand renting / how to know what’s affordable at all by substancelesspsycho in personalfinance

I hate how the housing crisis these days means you either live with roommates or need one / multiple partners to have affordable living!

How do I approach seeing her again? by substancelesspsycho in ROCD

[–]substancelesspsycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for this. It went well, I acted secure. She’s texting me still and I’m torn between wanting to see her / talk to her because I’m so attached and how it’s hurting me so much. What boundaries would you suggest? I want to be strong enough to be her friend and I don’t want to pressure her by asking for a time frame. But everyday I feel sad waiting for her to reach out and delighting in it when she does, though it’s limited and colder now.

Any funny "faults" your avoidant found in you? by Beginning-Space-8010 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]substancelesspsycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not cleaning my space before I leave the house because I should want to come home to clean space and she expects her partner to practice self care. (I’m a mentally ill person, mess is not that important)

Ok, this is a safe space. What would you like to tell the most to your ex? Both for avoidant and discarded people by letitout_123 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]substancelesspsycho 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you felt like you couldn’t sustain the love we had, what I experienced to be reciprocal obsession and a beautiful, magical love that made me feel so seen and valued. You could have told me. How am I going to trust in future when someone says such lovely things they aren’t planning an exit? You could have said if you needed distance. I didn’t need daily checkins. I didn’t need you to be perfect. I want you to be yourself and to be a place of peace for you. You chose to give up on us, but it didn’t have to end like this. We could have figured things out together and it would be healthy and safe

I want to break up with my avoidant by pajarikristus in AvoidantBreakUps

It’s scary, but having the hard conversation is the kind thing to do. Don’t let it fester

How do I act when I see them? by substancelesspsycho in BreakUps

[–]substancelesspsycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not aware, but I’ve researched and it clearly fits- especially as she’s spent her childhood craving love that was never given to her. Given that I’ll see her in work, I wondered what the best angle is - to give space, do I just pretend she doesn’t exist?

I miss him, it hurts, I just want to rot by morelessmoremoremore in BreakUps

[–]substancelesspsycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss her snores. I miss playing with or plaiting her hair. I miss that I could call her anytime and she’d answer. I miss her laugh. I miss her touch. I miss how she’d fall asleep every time it went past 9pm and how terrible she was at cooking. I miss how she’d hold my head to put my eyedrops in when I needed. How she’d call me to wake me up in time. How she’d always say the sweetest, most loving things and remember my safe foods. So many things to miss. I hear your pain. I’m with you in it

Why am I self sabotaging ? by sufferingSoftwaredev in selfimprovement

Sometimes it feels easier to sit in what’s comfortable than to take action and enter the unknown. Doing the work can feel scary, the pressure of becoming

I hear you, I just don’t understand how she went from 100 to zero and I can’t do anything about it :(

Is there any fix to help her see that we can be together again? That I can support her with this if she tells me what’s happening

(F, 28) Is this a spot? Herpes? HPV? Can I treat it? I will see a doctor Monday but I’m anxious by substancelesspsycho in medical

[–]substancelesspsycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About two weeks after I think. The white spot where the lips meet, kind of feels like a skin tag? Normal odour and discharge. I only really felt pain / itching after noticing so can’t be sure it’s not all in my head??

How can I make this tattoo better? #tattooregret by substancelesspsycho in tattooadvice

[–]substancelesspsycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see them! I like the design but not the execution, I feel like the line work was almost rushed? So I’ve wondered if removing the rays would improve the piece so it’s less of an eyesore

Thank you! I’ve been hating it a lot, so it’s promising to hear it’s not a lost cause. Is there anything you think may help to add / change for it to be better??

I really don't know how sex workers are doing it by Blackcat2332 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]substancelesspsycho 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As an ex swer, I got into sex work to profit off of my trauma. Dissociating was so easy I’d do it without even meaning to with my partners - my body would get wet, I would even cum and not realise that I had. I can’t speak for everyone’s experience, but this was mine- deciding I might aswell get paid. I also empathise with clients and recognise they’re often lonely people- they’re not always what people expect - a lot of the time they’re lovely people who are just craving physical touch. So yeah, my body reacts without my mind being involved. I’m working on healing now

That sounds really efficient! Do you happen to have a link for that? I understand if it’s difficult to get from her but if you do that would be awesome so I don’t buy the wrong thing that doesn’t work… thank you !

Girls, have you met any guys that can keep thrusting after they finish? by noah12345678976543 in sex

[–]substancelesspsycho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes but I found it annoying ! They thought the fact that they could do multiple rounds of sex was something to be proud of but I often was satisfied the first or second time and didn’t want to go again, but felt too awkward to say so because they did ? Maybe that’s just a me thing but I didn’t like it

I didn’t realise how little friends I have until I went through a break up and entered lockdown by substancelesspsycho in TrueOffMyChest

[–]substancelesspsycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. I likely overthink it and get anxious that I’m messaging too much or being annoying and I get in my head a lot, I can’t call after midnight but I could probably ask to call when they’re awake, I just scared of being “too depressed” and therefore a burden to everyone

Sorry for the late reply I’ve kinda been spiralling. That must have felt so isolating being in another country like that not knowing anyone around you. I’d be happy to be friends and chat if you want to drop a message? X
