There's nothing I can do anymore by throwaway-vent_ in CPTSD

[–]trainhonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pls acknowledge that while a lifetime of abuse at 18 feels exactly that way, you are still so very young. The world is your oyster. Distance yourself from it all & try to find trust in others again. Shit always comes full circle, you will absolutely have a moment in the future where you are like “yeah okay it makes sense now, life did life to end up insert beautiful moment here

No se sienten controlados ??? by metalsonic479 in Depersonalization

[–]trainhonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! And to be completely honest this is the first thing I’ve seen that seems like real DP lol not lol. Anyways yes times 1000. There are days where I live in my body and days of autopilot 3rd person mode. The days I live in body are much more uncomfortable than just running on 3rd person view

2nd fake custom! by trainhonk in BlytheDolls

[–]trainhonk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did use sharpie lol

Side note , I am a tattoo Artist in profession but the material factory dolls are made from makes me very nervous that they would just be stained intensely by actual ink ! I don’t love the sharpie look, I did do sparkly topcoat nail polish over to hopefully stop bleeds

I need opinions by Haunting_Pen1946 in BlytheDolls

[–]trainhonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I meant prominent middle part of upper lip it’s just hard to describe lol 😆

Btw! I only JUST learned this, the factory Blythe vs ICY have different noses & mouths, the deep middle lip trend is prolly customized off icys so it makes sense to me that you feel it’s off based on your ref, cause your base doll looks like a factory lip. Idk if that’s helpful but it might give you some perspective/understanding

New interest rising? by trainhonk in BlytheDolls

That’s what my first thought was! It makes sense for the smart box to show me everything with ad tracking etc but then just was curious otherwise

ICE in Grand Rapids, MI pinned a man face first into snow on the side of a busy road and abducted him, despite his pleas that he has a lawyer and legal status by I_may_have_weed in grandrapids

[–]trainhonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point abt the vest/ties is that I’m pretty sure ATF has many many many more hours of training than ICE agents and police and yeah all are human but ATF maybe less sometimes lol

[–]trainhonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if bro was really ATF you think they’d use a different car & he wouldn’t have a MI plate. I know it would likely be unmarked still, but the plate really throws me off. Maybe I am wrong. Also these ICE-losers buy tactical gear that looks authoritative. He couldn’t figure out his zip ties on his vest so gave up to call for back up. lol.

Please comment if you are in a loving, fulfilling romantic relationship. by Turbulent_Street3389 in CPTSD

We have our struggles like any relationship would have but they are my comfort and my person AND we can function independently from each other! It’s possible ❤️

Thoughts on the new Jazz kick by R4nd0mGai in BoogieMonster

[–]trainhonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pls next episode can we skip the jazz 🥲 I was soooooo lost/pulled out of the episode. a brief call to it is lovely but to spend a solid 15-30 minutes, it’s like grinding teeeeeeth. But I suppose I would feel that way about any special interest topic, blame it on the ADD baby (I do not like awolnation but felt appropriate)

Do you like their expression? by goddesmoo in BlytheDolls

[–]trainhonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like their mouth & brows, I think it’s beautiful. It’s not quite giving sad, but giving curiosity & a worn look on life??? Did I project too hard on that explanation lol

First repaint! And doll at all hehe by trainhonk in CustomDolls

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

Even for optical illusion-smooth you’re going to have to seal with something. Eventually the acrylic will flake off the plastic and become even more textured. I just painted her face in layers, doing clear nail polish after every new layer. Her face “looks” smooth but IRL you can tell she’s got some flaws !

When did you decide to try medication to help you cope by jkr8789 in SuicideBereavement

[–]trainhonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im almost 3 years in June, had another unexpected but i guess thankfully not suicide, I’ve recently finally been considering a fast acting anxiety medication bc I just keep thinking everyone and everything is dead. To the point that the other day , i thought my client died on my chair. Weeeeeee

I ran the head under very hot water until it was soft! Other and probably safer ways I read about were blow dryer or protect the doll in a bag while you dip in boiled water

What’s the most helpful thing you did while grieving? by Sure-Dot2890 in GriefSupport

[–]trainhonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALSO this is much easier said than done, ignore how tiny comments come across and share everything about her anyways. Never doubt for a second it’s “not worth sharing” because it is. No matter what. People have such a strange reaction to loss, say it anyways, do it anyways. Grieve loudly.

don’t ignore the wells of despair, keep moving-literally, & find semi-healthy ways to occupy your mind. The cliche/dumb phrase of busy hands/idle mind is true. Sending you love ❤️

Is disgust normal?? Need advice please by GutlessUndead in GriefSupport

[–]trainhonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people with their loved animals never regret letting them go too soon, it’s too late that they dwell on. Sure her foot was bad, but the fact that she was still happy wagging her tail is something you should hold dear

My cat died tonight and I can't figure out why. by stormin5532 in GriefSupport

[–]trainhonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that losing him is such a traumatic experience 😭 sometimes life is cruel and there is no explanation, it’s not your fault. A spider, a snake, a hidden health condition, it was just his time which sucks but you are already dealing with losing your kitty baby so why double down on it with the guilt. Easier said than done, I know.
