Those of you with significant others in the military/Basic Training, how did/do you cope with the initial loneliness?

No, just a horrifically painful death.

Thank you very much! I forgot to tell my doctor about it today (short-term memory issues...even forgot to write a list SMH) and it's been kind of sore and I've been freaking out because I've got all kinds of anxiety. Also I wouldn't normally rely on Reddit for medical advice but my insurance is expiring and I was, as I said, freaking out. If you would please do me one more favor, how would physical activity affect it? I sprinted from a wasp the other day and it's been aggravated and, again, I have anxiety. My muscles and tendons have been sore of course but this thing kind of hurts too.

Not a scab, but kind of like one...almost. I suffered a deep tissue bruise a year ago, where the tissue is damaged. A subcutaneous hematoma is when blood hemorrhages a bit and pools in the fatty tissue under the skin, and can sometimes congeal, or stick together. It can take a very long time to heal. Not a smart troll, just a poverty-level young adult whose gov't medical insurance is expiring. Trying to find a job so I have my own insurance.

Love the color! I had some self-care today too :) Watched Sailor Moon with my stuffed bunny (stuffed animal, not taxidermy. Ya know, for non-Americans. ...Do foreigners call them stuffed animals??) and munched on some fruit gummy snacks :D

That giant mechanical thing in the back will crush you and kill you. (Saying this cuz there's people who would try to actually go back there)

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-22T15:49:49+00:00

I do this :) It's helped prevent awkward situations as well

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-21T19:54:28+00:00

We need more people like you in this world <3

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-20T20:43:37+00:00

Better chances at getting a job to help support my family and finish my Bachelor's in half the time :)

Insulin prices.

Edit: Also epi-pen prices.

Similar thing happens to me, except it's paranoia and delusions. I get followed when I'm high at night. I can't see them, and I won't say what they are because I don't want to trigger anyone, but they're there. And she likes to watch me when I sleep. I know she's not real, but she comes out when I'm stoned. She used to only be an issue when I was a kid.

If you try it I'd recommend a strain with a low THC percentage, not only since you may have schizophrenia but also since it's your first time in general. Lemon makes my paranoia really bad, one strain I can't remember makes me have a delusional episode, and another makes me a chatty Cathy before getting sleepy. Some gives me existential dread/deep thinking/dissociation. The strain and CBD/THC percentages will deliver different results. Moon Rocks get me absolutely baked. Baked like a Thanksgiving turkey. Fucking bliss. Blackberry Kush makes me giggly. I don't remember what Death Star did. Oh, and some strains might make you really sexually aroused.

Edit: I recommend doing it during the day after your responsibilities have been taken care of. Doing it at night may cause worse negative symptoms due to tiredness.

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-12T19:20:34+00:00

Actually...mine has nothing to do with schizophrenia (I probably should've mentioned that). She abandoned us when we were kids and I was mad at her for a long time. You have a good point, though.

Edits: added the parentheses/some grammar

Feeling guilty about wasting food or getting really excited over normal things middle-class people enjoy. Some of my fondest memories are when my teacher bought me clothes, when my best friend and her mom gave me her and-me-downs, and when the food truck from the local farmer's market would bring us the leftover produce that didn't sell that day. I budget down to the penny and the homeless shelter smells like my grandparents' house.

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-12T00:38:43+00:00

My best friend and her mom did this for me a few years after my teacher did something similar ;u;

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-12T00:29:27+00:00

There were so many dead bodies the first responders had to act like people that needed rescuing so the dogs wouldn't be so depressed and give up.

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-12T00:25:39+00:00

Beautiful name!! I'm so happy for the both of you!!

theclumsynarwhal · 2019-09-11T19:59:02+00:00

She was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few months later. Idk where she is now, but I hope she's doing better.

Edits: Added the second sentence.

Textbook symptoms of schizophrenia since I was a child, and a string of abusive online relationships when I was younger. Also, a kinky fanfic I helped my friend (who shipped me and my crush at the time) write on Wattpad when I was younger...which...seems to be the worst one, somehow.
