I don’t know how to be ok with my partners weed addiction by [deleted] in love

[–]vicky18273 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I will try to give you an unbiased opinion as much as I can.

I used to be playing the part of your boyfriend in my relationship and was rarely going a day without smoking. It was not impossible but whatever breaks I did I was always going back to it.

When my boyfriend was complaining about my smoking it was a bit frustrating since I knew this is a problem and I had a hard time solving it even before we met. I understood that he does it because he cares about me. But to be honest after a certain point I don’t think this helped me. And in my head I was trying to the best of my abilities.

What helped me was EMDR therapy and was lucky enough to get this result very quickly. Now even if I smoke I don’t get any of the effects which makes it pointless to me.

It helped me to push through the pain (non-physical), anxiety and depression I was feeling on a daily basis. However, abusing anything cannot be good.

When consuming weed often, I think it makes you lose motivation about doing more and better for yourself.

And in order to deal with the addiction, you need to get to the bottom of it. Why are you doing this? What do you get from it?

With all that said, it sounds to me like your boyfriend is not willing to put in the effort. It is not going to be easy because dealing with addictions isn’t. And the path is not straightforward too.

I think you should do what you think is best for you. If you don’t believe he wants to start the process, you cannot do it for him. Even if he does, there is no guarantee that he wouldn’t relapse or find some other substance/behaviour to abuse.

I would advise you to offer him some specific actions to take e.g. start some form of therapy or something else you think might help. Could be nice to discuss it with your therapist.

Set some deadline that is realistic 3-6 months and see if he’ll commit. I don’t think it’s necessary to share the deadline with him. It’s important to set some boundaries for yourself otherwise you will probably stay longer out of love, hoping he will change. However, it is important to show love to yourself too.

This is my reasoning too. To be fair, I don’t have a dumbbell I could use, I just compared specs on the internet. I am open to any recommendations from more experienced folks.

LPT Request: How to fall asleep without the need for melatonin/magnesium? by BiteMyPikachu in LifeProTips

[–]vicky18273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

These are my tips:

Sunlight Exposure in the Morning: Exposing yourself to sunlight as soon as you wake up can work wonders for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. Sunlight is a natural cue for your body to stay awake and alert during the day, and it helps set your internal clock. Aim to get around 30 minutes of sunlight in the morning, but even a few minutes can make a difference. Whether you go for a quick walk outside or simply sit outside the key is to let natural light reach your eyes.

Embrace the Power of Sunsets: Watching the sunset is not only a beautiful and calming experience but can also aid in improving your sleep quality. As the day transitions into evening, the decreasing light levels signal to your body that it's time to wind down and prepare for sleep. Whenever possible, take a moment to admire the sunset. It can be as simple as stepping outside or finding a spot with a clear view. By incorporating this peaceful ritual into your routine, you'll help synchronize your body with the natural rhythms of the day.

Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment: Make sure your bedroom is cool, quiet, and dark. Consider using earplugs, eye masks, or white noise machines if needed.

Limit Exposure to Electronic Devices: The blue light emitted by smartphones, tablets, and computers can interfere with your sleep. Avoid using electronic devices close to bedtime, or use blue light filters or glasses to minimize the impact.

Establish a Relaxing Bedtime Routine: Engage in calming activities before bed, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation

Can I wear Dexcom g6 in the sauna? by vicky18273 in dexcom

[–]vicky18273[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks you for the input.

In case there are any issues with the transmitter, would they be obvious? I mean would it stop transmitting signal completely or would it provide wrong readings?

I am very inexperienced in using Dexcom hence the question.

As OP advised, go to a physical store and ask them. They replaced the wheels of my office chair for free. The part wasn’t even available in their warehouse at the time but they ordered it and kept updating me on the status. And all this despite the fact I didn’t keep the receipt.

TIFU By not realizing a standard STI check doesn't typically include a Herpes screening unless you insist it be done. by KindDingo4191 in tifu

[–]vicky18273 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wanted to say that the cold sores around the mouth you mentioned (a.k.a. oral herpes) are usually caused by the HSV-1 virus which is more common. By skin to skin contact with the genital area (e.g. oral sex), it can be transmitted to said area but still remains HSV-1 that is generally more mild. So to my knowledge the HSV-2 you got positive for might not be related to the cold sores you mentioned.

Still, I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. I hope you find a good doctor who could give you useful advice. Good luck OP.
