2024.05.29 05:20 Moonberry-42 This first week sucks
 | I got my braces a week ago, and the pain sucks. I can’t eat still because my teeth refuse to stop hurting when I try to bite down (I have a bite guard). Ended up having to result to savagery to eat because I couldn’t eat my lunch. submitted by Moonberry-42 to braces [link] [comments] |
2024.05.29 05:19 Sassy-Angel Bisalp
I’m considering getting a bisalp at the same time as my vestibulectomy (which is being done to treat my Congenital Neuroproliferative Vestibulodynia) because I know I don’t want kids.
I’ve been on hormonal birth control before, and it made my pain worse.
With that in mind, I want to get a bisalp so I don’t have the fear of getting pregnant in the back of my mind each time I have sex, since then that fear would make me more tense and undo the work I’m doing with physical therapy to relax more.
I’m scared of how my hormones will be affected (if at all) if I get the bisalp.
Has anyone here had it and had success with their pain not getting worse?

2024.05.29 05:18 Scared_Fish_7069 Women who wear conventional make-up do it to look better, not to “enhance their features” or “be authentic”
For some context I’m a woman who’s not totally inclined to femininity nor masculinity. I have friends who wear makeup and don’t wear makeup and I don’t favor one above the other. I’m also not a native english speaker so I might butcher some grammar
Let me separate what I mean by conventional makeup vs unconventional makeup. Conventional makeup is the type of makeup that most women are wearing, for example natural, latina, baddie, douyin, and soft makeup. Unconventional makeup is the type of makeup that most women would NOT wear and only a small portion would wear. These women usually group together as a niche demographic and have makeup techniques that are niche to their demographic. For example, goth makeup and art makeup (making artwork above the eyes or drawing large abstract shapes or pictures on the cheeks).
The type of makeup I’m talking about is conventional makeup. The arguments I often hear most women say when defending makeup are a. Using it for authentic self-expression and b. To enhance their features. This is kind of conflicting to the whole activity of makeup because drawing eyeliner gives the illusion of having bigger eyes than their real eyes. Wearing mascara gives the illusion of having thicker lashes than their real lashes. Wearing lipstick gives the illusion of having plumpelightedarker color lips than their original. Their features aren’t enhanced, they become replaced by how the makeup looks on their faces. And instead of expressing their authentic selves, they’re hiding original features of their face. Wearing makeup will never give the ability to show their authentic selves and authentic face because it distorts their original face and features.
Here is where the term “authentic self” is debatable: its meaning. What do most women mean when they say “authentic selves”? Is it truly their authentic selves or the self/personality that they THINK they have? If it’s the latter, well, there’s no argument to be made here, because the very image that they’ve made about themselves is wrong. Like most people, men and women alike, they’re just living in delusion on how people come off to others and the self image that they’ve made about themselves.

2024.05.29 05:17 Warbly-Luxe I didn't realize how ableist my parents are until now...
[CW: talk of ableism and trauma]
——————————-
TL;DR: My dad said to my mom when I took out my new fidget toy after a fairly traumatic day: “he’s (not my preferred pronouns) just going into ‘Autistic Mode’”. He said that he would look into group homes tomorrow again because I “treat them like shit”. I shut down around them, and have been doing so for at least a week or more. I don’t have a job, freshly graduated from college as of December, and I have been struggling to get interviews. I have been using my university’s career services and got accepted into Vocational Rehab, but my parents keep threatening to kick me out of the house and be done with me.
——————————
For reference, I am highly confident I am Autistic and ADHD, but I have not been officially diagnosed. I have a referral and am in the process. My med manager is treating me with non-stimulants which work well and have increased executive function. I have also been exploring my being queer over the last few years, but only recently tried to explain to my parents in totality last November.
I knew they are queerphobic, and I knew that I annoy / upset them when I don’t talk and engage, and that when I talk it’s too much and not about the right thing. I just wanted to believe I was wrong. I wanted to believe I was reading into things because I’ve had so many past experiences where what I felt and what I thought turned out to be false. And they say they love me, and they love me so much that they hate to see me in pain, and so I wanted to believe that it’s true.
The last few days have been hard. My parents had family friends over (that have known me since I was a baby, and they have two adult children that didn’t come this round) for memorial day weekend from out of state. Since seeing the friends last, I have been doing a lot of self-discovery and further accepting the queer parts of myself. I hadn’t been planning to change my name, until by happenstance I found one online that I wanted to be mine due to it's simplicity and androgynous nature. But my parents (and my brother, though he has trans friends) have not been supportive. I just thought they raised me and gave me a name they picked out and so didn’t want to use a new one. It doesn’t make it better, but it’s something.
But they have made it clear in past conversations that it would be unfair for me to tell family friends and extended relatives. And so I spent all of last week before the weekend trying to debate whether I should tell the family friends that were coming over in a text message before they arrived. I tried to summon the courage, but I ended up not doing that. So when I first saw them, I shut down when their first words were “Hey,”. I decided that I would make myself scarce because I knew I would just keep shutting down and having trouble speaking with them. Literally, it would be the same as with my parents where either the words don’t come or I don’t have the energy to get them past my throat.
So, I tried to be polite when I saw them and just didn’t engage in extensive conversation. When they left, my dad told me I was rude and selfish, and that I need to write them a letter to apologize. I ended up sending them a text today to apologize (didn't explain everything), but I didn’t want to send a letter because I am tired of using my dead name, and I would need to sign it.
I have been trying to avoid my parents even though we live in the same house because I don’t have a job yet. I recently graduated from college in December, but I have not been able to get interviews. I have been making use of my university’s career services and made appointments with the head of engineering to make my resume more appealing in terms of software engineering. I graduated with Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on Computer Science, Creative Writing, and Linguistics. I just want a job right now, and computer jobs pay well. I am hoping to figure out something beneficial in Creative Writing later, maybe Ghost Writing or something that might pay better than that. I also got accepted to use Vocational Rehab, and so I have been working with them.
But, since I am avoiding my parents, they believe I am trying to make it clear that I hate them. They consistently say that I “treat them like shit” and I am “lazy and just want an easy life”. Today has been a hard day after all the turmoil over the last week, and so I have had very little energy. I thought I could be experiencing depression, but I know what that feels like and where it leads. I am not there yet. So, I think the best word to describe it is probably dejected. Like the people who are constantly in my life don’t want me. In the late afternoon, I decided I didn’t just want to sit up in my room anymore, so I drove down to my bookstore to browse, and then checked to see if I could refill my meds. I had about an hour where I started feeling happy and enjoying myself, especially being able to browse the books and look at the descriptions on the back and recording the ones I want to read for later.
When I got home for dinner so my parents didn’t get mad, it was like all that happiness disappeared the moment I saw them. I could not move my face even if I wanted to, to pretend like I was cheery and all right. We got dinner out, and then I sat down. The counselor I like seeing at career services is also an ADHDer. I saw her last week to go over more plans for jobs, and she showed me the various baskets of stim toys she keeps on her bookshelf to hand out to students. She gave me one that’s a tightly knit, long rectangle and has a small glass ball inside. You squeeze it and the ball moves back and forth.
I haven’t used stim toys much growing up because I thought I was supposed to bear all the frustration and anxiety. But I have been trying to treat myself kinder over the last few months. So, I’ve been taking that stim toy with me, and had it when I went to the bookstore. With dinner set up, my parents were trying to get me to interact and “be better”. Without thinking, I took out the stim toy. My dad said I was going into “Autistic Mode” and that they can’t do anything. He will look at group homes again tomorrow.
…
Up until that moment, I had doubts. I thought that they really were trying to accept me and it was just hard, especially with all the queerness and years of mental health management (since 2019 when I broke down). But over the last month or so, I’ve had various times where I needed to record my mental health history for intake and I started talking about my parents and how I am starting to recognize the gaslighting and emotional abuse.
I have also been trying hard to remember the good moments. But I can't remember a moment where I was showing signs I am clearly Autistic or ADHD, and that they genuinely enjoyed and loved it. Especially as I've gotten older. I remember them expecting me to get good grades in school from the beginning. If it wasn't "A"s they were upset, and if I failed a test they told me to study again and took me down to school to convince the teacher to let me test again. If I couldn't prove I knew the material and the teacher didn't let me retake it, then I was shunned on the way home.
I want so much to be wrong. I want so much for them to be right and that it's me who is abusing them like they say it is. I don't know why--I don't really feel any emotional love for them and I don't think I ever did, I just don't want them to suffer--but if I am the one who's hurting them then maybe I can change and stop. Maybe I can get better and show them love and be nice to them like they deserve. I wouldn't need to make a plan to estrange myself from them when I am on my feet to better take care of myself. I wish it was me.
I don't know why I am writing all of this. You all have your own problems and don't need to load on mine, and I am not going to pretend I have it the worst even just in my own city. I also feel manipulative, like I am only writing the bad parts and that I should try to remember and describe the good parts.
I just don't have anyone I can talk to right now. I have been out of therapy for a few months. I have been on wait lists for more experienced therapists dealing with gender-affirming care, since that has become a bigger problem. I have something scheduled for the middle of next month with a more general therapist and a referral to a specialized therapist as well.
But I just want to talk to someone who understands. I don't have that in my life. When doctors ask me if I have anyone I can just vent to or trust, I can't think of anyone. I have one friend, but since graduating we only meet up once a month. I can share a lot with her and she is supportive, but then I feel like that one meeting is filled with me trying to vent and seek therapy from her. I don't really want more social interaction, but I want to feel like someone sees me, the real me, and they actually like what they see.
I plan to call the suicide hotline tomorrow. Not because I am suicidal, but because I was told I don't need to be suicidal to call. I know my parents will hear me on the phone if I call tonight, and I don't really want to spend a long time writing out the words in a text to the text number to explain everything when the person on the other end might not be able to fully understand, and so they would just tell me what they think I need to hear. But I guess I'd get the same from the phone call.
I don't know how to wrap this up, and it sounds when I read this over like I am quite lucid and therefore being petty by putting this here. I am lucid, but it doesn't really help me feel better. I can't lie to myself anymore; I've been trying so hard to not lie to myself when I spot it. I am sorry for the long rambling and various tangents. I just want to put this somewhere where people might understand.

I saw her last week to go over more plans for jobs, and she showed me the various baskets of stim toys she keeps on her bookshelf to hand out to students. She gave me one that’s a tightly knit, long rectangle and has a small glass ball inside. You squeeze it and the ball moves back and forth.
I haven’t used stim toys much growing up because I thought I was supposed to bear all the frustration and anxiety. But I have been trying to treat myself kinder over the last few months. So, I’ve been taking that stim toy with me, and had it when I went to the bookstore. With dinner set up, my parents were trying to get me to interact and “be better”. Without thinking, I took out the stim toy. My dad said I was going into “Autistic Mode” and that they can’t do anything. He will look at group homes again tomorrow.
…
Up until that moment, I had doubts. I thought that they really were trying to accept me and it was just hard, especially with all the queerness and years of mental health management (since 2019 when I broke down). But over the last month or so, I’ve had various times where I needed to record my mental health history for intake and I started talking about my parents and how I am starting to recognize the gaslighting and emotional abuse.
I have also been trying hard to remember the good moments. But I can't remember a moment where I was showing signs I am clearly Autistic or ADHD, and that they genuinely enjoyed and loved it. Especially as I've gotten older. I remember them expecting me to get good grades in school from the beginning. If it wasn't "A"s they were upset, and if I failed a test they told me to study again and took me down to school to convince the teacher to let me test again. If I couldn't prove I knew the material and the teacher didn't let me retake it, then I was shunned on the way home.
I want so much to be wrong. I want so much for them to be right and that it's me who is abusing them like they say it is. I don't know why--I don't really feel any emotional love for them and I don't think I ever did, I just don't want them to suffer--but if I am the one who's hurting them then maybe I can change and stop. Maybe I can get better and show them love and be nice to them like they deserve. I wouldn't need to make a plan to estrange myself from them when I am on my feet to better take care of myself. I wish it was me.
I just don't have anyone I can talk to right now. I have been out of therapy for a few months. I have been on wait lists for more experienced therapists dealing with gender-affirming care, since that has become a bigger problem. I have something scheduled for the middle of next month with a more general therapist and a referral to a specialized therapist as well.
But I just want to talk to someone who understands. I don't have that in my life. When doctors ask me if I have anyone I can just vent to or trust, I can't think of anyone. I have one friend, but since graduating we only meet up once a month. I can share a lot with her and she is supportive, but then I feel like that one meeting is filled with me trying to vent and seek therapy from her. I don't really want more social interaction, but I want to feel like someone sees me, the real me, and they actually like what they see.
I plan to call the suicide hotline tomorrow. Not because I am suicidal, but because I was told I don't need to be suicidal to call. I know my parents will hear me on the phone if I call tonight, and I don't really want to spend a long time writing out the words in a text to the text number to explain everything when the person on the other end might not be able to fully understand, and so they would just tell me what they think I need to hear. But I guess I'd get the same from the phone call.
2024.05.29 05:16 random_user20099665 How do I tell my husband that he makes me feel like trash?
Me (18F) and my (19M) husband keep on having fights, at the beginning of our relationship, I opened up to him and I told him that I had really bad communication issues because of past relationships, he told me that was OK and that he would help me work through it. fast forward a few months later I have been communicating with him but the problem is that every single time I communicate with him it always backfires and I just regret ever communicating. For example, when something happens and he can tell that I’m not OK he will ask why and when I tell him he will tell me why I shouldn’t feel the way I’m feeling or how I’m wrong for feeling that way. I have told him before that it makes me feel extremely unheard and he told me that he would try and work on it. I also have a lot of communicating, anger,etc issues that I have been working on for a while, but anytime we get a fight he will always bring up how I need to work on myself and how he will divorce me if I don’t. So to try and work on myself, I started doing therapy, I listed down every single thing that I needed to work on and every day I would dwell on it, I would ask him how I could get better at those things , but yet we still get horrible fights, for another example we are doing long distance right now because he’s on a business trip and for about the past week him and I haven’t been talking a lot and that’s something that I can’t deal with but I understood because it was out of his control, and last night he wasn’t busy, but he decided to take that time to play games with his friends, which is OK but the thing is he was taking an hour at a time to text me back,after already hardly talking to me for a week , so I brought it up to him and I asked him multiple times if he could please just respond faster and then he got mad at me, telling me about how busy he’s been and how much has been going on, which I understand but he had the chance to talk to me and he didn’t take it. Anyways, me bringing up that I was feeling a little down because we hadn’t talked much recently caused a fight. and he said things like “I’m sorry I’m such horrible husband. “ and “Sorry I didn’t check my phone. “ to which I just responded “ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cause something I just really wanted to talk,” I didn’t think that I approached in a bad way, anyways soon after he ended up, just going to bed, I sat there thinking about how I felt horrible for just expressing myself and wondering if maybe keeping my mouth shut would fix Things. Anyways, the point of all this is that I am deeply in love with him and do not want a divorce, but a lot of the time he makes me feel very unheard, and he will lecture me about everything that I have to work on and then I feel like shit about myself for hurting him. I can’t continue feeling like a piece of trash, even though I’m trying my hardest. How do I tell him this without starting a fight?

2024.05.29 05:16 Environmental_Bee255 Questions From an Incoming Freshman
Hi everyone! I’m an incoming freshman (F17). I applied undecided into the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I have a few questions about Villanova. If anyone can answer even one of them it would be a huge help. Reddit seems to be the best forum regarding Nova I can find.
submitted by Environmental_Bee255 to villanova [link] [comments]
- CLAS: I know CLAS is gets a bit of a bad rep compared to the business school, engineering school, and nursing school. How significantly does a student feel that on campus?
- ASL: I want to take American Sign Language for my language requirement. I’ve taken Spanish from elementary school to junior year, and it’s always been my worst subject. I can’t take another year of it. Has anyone here taken the ASL course? How was the professor? How difficult is it? If I end up hating it- what is a language you recommend?
- Professors: Please give me any / all teacher recommendations - who to stay away from , who will give me an easy grade , who makes their class borderline impossible with workload and grading , etc.
- Mathematics requirement: I didn’t take any AP/IB classes (my high school doesn’t offer them) but I did take Calculus in my senior year and got a 98.78 in the class (I dropped from AB Calculus and am pretty good at Math). If you are in CLAS - what math did you take? I don’t really understand what some of the options are (discrete math for the social sciences, Mathematics of Fairness, Calculus 1 for Liberal Arts, Calculus 2 for Liberal Arts, Regular Calculus 1, Regular Calculus 2, Logic something or another). First of all if anyone could give me any insights on any of these that would be amazing. Secondly, what is the difference between Calculus for Liberal Arts versus just the normal Calculus? Also, is it worth it to try Calculus 2 even though I didn’t take the AP? Does it matter at all? If I decide to transfer out of Villanova will other colleges care if I take what sounds like bs math courses? What teachers should I try to get for any of these courses?
- Housing: I didn’t apply for Communitas, but I was reading a lot of posts and comments here that said you want to be in the South Campus as a freshmen. I’m also not in the honors program. Which are the best buildings for a freshman. I had to rank my choices in the Housing application and said Good Counsel, St. Katharine, St. Monica’s (I think). But I really didn’t have any information and am kind of scared. Any insights?
- Social Scene: I’m definitely not going to join a sorority. I’ve seen posts here from like the 2000s that say if you are a girl you won’t have trouble getting into parties. Is that still applicable? Also where do people get alc? I have a fake (or should in abt 2 weeks). Are there any go-to bars or convenience stores to bring drinks back to dorms.
- Advice: Any specific tips/recs for succeeding at Nova besides the generic make relationships with your teachers, go to office hours, study, read the syllabus, etc.?
2024.05.29 05:15 Relevant_Ruin_3147 Is it true that the word "Kangaroo" in the Australian Aboriginal language means "I don't understand"?
Hello, I’m 24 years old and recently I finally understood what had been happening to me all my life, what kind of sensations I experienced and why I didn’t understand much of what people do.
I recently found out that I have Asperger’s syndrome in its pronounced form, and honestly, at first I didn’t understand how my loved ones and those who surrounded me all my life simply didn’t notice this, but then I also learned about this, about masking.
I took a separate masking test, which I think showed a fairly high score, where I had to choose between true or false and there were statements such as:
-I watch my body language and facial expressions to appear relaxed.
-I will repeat phrases that I have heard from others, just as I heard them for the first time.
-In social situations, I feel like I am “performing” rather than being myself.
-In my social interactions, I use behaviors that I have learned from watching other people interact.
-I train my facial expressions and body language to make them look natural.
I noted exactly these questions because this is exactly what I did when I was among people, that is, almost always, I realized that NTs do not do this consciously and it happens naturally to them, I also do not understand human emotions and do not understand when they are shown others, they don't use the resources to do it the way I do it, after which I'm exhausted and need rest.
But now that it’s clear to me what’s wrong with me, I can’t appear in public and can’t leave the room for weeks, it seems to me that people look at me as if I’m naked in the middle of the street. It seems to me that I have lost the mask that I always wore and I don’t understand how to put this mask back on and at the same time I don’t understand whether I want to put it on again, because all the time I wore it I suffered and felt pain. But even without her, it seems to me that I will not be able to live normally.
I think that the word PAIN is more suitable to describe what I am experiencing than the word DISCOMFORT which means that something is wrong but it can be tolerated, in the case of the first word it means that you cannot tolerate it for a long time, which means that you need to stop do what you do. It seems to me that human language is not able to convey what autistic people experience; it seems to be completely unsuited to make another person different from you understand what you are experiencing.
Therefore, it seems to me that isolation is the best way out.

2024.05.29 05:15 This_Picture4038 Can’t stand my marriage
My husband and myself have been married about 7 years. Been through hell and back many times over. Honestly we have had more struggles than success until recently. Moved into a home that needs more work than it’s worth and I’m honestly depressed being inside the house. One of our children together is diagnosed with ADHD and autistic making it tough to be a SAHM without any help
My husband works constantly (because he chooses to stay over daily for OT) but before he started this job a year ago he hasn’t worked in about 4 years. Stayed at home. And even then he wouldn’t help out at all.
In my husband’s eyes he works all the time to provide and doesn’t need to do anything else. He sometimes does maintenance on the house that needs done but that happens every 3 months or so
Constantly, and it’s hitting me strong now because it’s summer all he does from sun up until sun down is play games on the computer or phone. That’s it. Doesn’t help with feedings, playing, bedtime etc.. And he wonders why at bedtime we don’t get to have personal time together. I honestly don’t have the energy between all of our kids (and we have a Brady bunch) and doing everything by myself every second of every day. Even days off of when he works.
Example today I got to sleep in 30 minutes or so after husband and kids woke. I woke up and husband already on computer playing games and all the kids haven’t ate breakfast yet. Asked for it as soon as I woke.
I’ve expressed my concerns but it always gets twisted back to it’s my fault he’s doing that or my fault he’s playing games so much. He even jokes and says “it’s all your fault” when something bad happens. It’s not funny.
I don’t think I want a divorce. Honestly I probably couldn’t survive financially and my family would be so disappointed. I know the love can probably return again but there’s none here now.
I don’t know if I’m looking for advice, similar stories to read or just venting… either way thanks for listening to an old woman vent lol
TL;DR Husband doesn’t do anything but sit and play games 24/7 when not at work. Takes lots of OT to stay away from home. Tired of doing everything with all our kids and special needs kid alone without any help at all.

2024.05.29 05:15 Idisliketheworld Someone please help me.
31 female, 5’7, 145 pounds. For the last two weeks I haven’t been able to eat. Every time I eat I get shortness of breath, trouble breathing through my nose, tight throat, trouble swallowing, heart palpitations like a real pounding heart with fast pace, chest pressure, chest pains, stomach pains. I’ve only been able to have an ensure plus 350 calories and a baby food 80 calories, that’s just in the last two days. The 10 days before that I haven’t eaten anything. I just need some advice, I’m afraid to eat because of the ton of symptoms I get.

2024.05.29 05:14 Intelligent_Cut_5728 killers shouldn’t be made to watch LF CS, except LF. Here’s why:
This has been asked for a long time; but to make the rush meta even slightly even - give us the same set up time as victims.
Just had a match as a cook on Family house; really wanted to see the new execution. Instead, by the time I got out of LF CS, they had already woke up grandpa, and when I went to lock the main door they had already opened it. How are we supposed to compete with this?
I understand family house being a pain, I do. But jeez. We shouldn’t be forced to watch it.

2024.05.29 05:14 kidbeancass AITAH for being cold to my friends who are trying to loose weight ?
I (29F) personally struggle with maintaining body weight. I know why, and I see a doctor for it. (It’s kidney disease.). But part of what I do is watching what I eat, and calorie counting. But not to loose weight but to keep it on and gain when I get low.
The problem is my friends in my “support” circle tend to minimize how I feel. I don’t openly complain. It’s usually “omg ur so small why count calories??” “If I was your size I’d eat what I want!!”
I often tell them im not trying to loose I’m trying to maintain.
I recently have gotten many many comments from my best friends (32F) (26F) like “are you sure you don’t have a eating disorder?” “I wish I had something like that to keep me thin!”
Like no, you don’t. But when it’s reversed, and people are loosing weight it’s “way to go champ!! You got this queen!!”
I try to be a good friend when they’re going through journeys of their own. I know I might not “get it” because I haven’t lived it, but I can try. I tell my friends I may not understand 100% the way you do., but I’ll support you, help you research, be your gym buddy just name it and I got you. I have done these things. But my friends who are working on themselves find it offensive so I’ve given up.
Recently my best friend wanted to start going back to the gym, and I told her I was gonna sit this one out, because frankly 1) what I’m doing for my health right now works and 2) I’m still mad about the constant comments about how they “wish they had something/were sick to get small.”
They said I was being unsupportive, and it was rude to rub my “skinny girl” privilege in their face.
What? I don’t have a privilege, I have a shorter life span and constant pain but ok
So? AITAH?

2024.05.29 05:14 PoetAcceptable5545 AITAH for not believing "Everything happens for a reason" and also for not believing in karma?
For years now I have not believed in either of these things. I feel like life and everything in it is just a big mistake and everything that happens is only by chance and is not designed to do anything for any reason. With that said I've also been hurt a lot by people over the years but I've noticed that hardly any of them suffer for their wrongdoings and they all seem to have good lives while I'm stuck with the trauma they've given me. This is why I also don't believe in karma. When I express hatred for these people everyone either tells me karma will get them or me and I'm officially fed up with being told that karma is real when I believe it isn't. Especially today because my parents shamed me for not believing in that stuff. I tried to ask them honestly why they would believe in stuff like that but they couldn't even provide a real answer

She was originally jet black with a tuft of white and some tan, but she's much lighter now. She carries the Merle gene—are we seeing that expressed, or could she be a wolf sable or just a light black and tan? Photos are in order from most recent back to the day we got her. Thanks in advance for your help! P.S. This sub helped us so much after losing our Pom Lady, I don’t know that we would have ever gotten Coco without this community. |
2024.05.29 05:13 not_too_lazy Confused about torquing my thru axle
I take the rear wheel on my bike on and off a lot for indoor training. My LBS told me to not go any tighter than a quarter-turn past resistance with the multitool to not damage the frame. This made sense since it was easy enough to replace flats with this light of a torque. But I recently read on my bike’s manual that I should torque it to 15Nm, which is quite a bit more than I can get to without my torque wrench. It also exceeds my LBS’s warning (which for me was really only like 7-8Nm) by a lot. I’m a bit confused about this, clearly 15Nm won’t damage anything if the manual says so but that might be a bit of a pain to undo roadside with a tiny multitool, and no way I’ll be able to retighten it that hard without a wrench if I got a flat. What’s the ideal situation here?

2024.05.29 05:13 integerpoet super-low-tech Ethernet problem
 | I have a length of Ethernet (Cat6, for what it’s worth) stapled onto the walls inside a closet. submitted by integerpoet to Network [link] [comments] This cable goes all over the place before arriving where it needs to go. It’s silly-stupid-complicated and I don‘t even want to think about how it got that way. It’s getting in the way of using the closet as a closet. I can’t move other things around in there without being super-careful. However, I don’t want to just rip the cable out with brute force because when it leaves the closet it goes a long distance under the house, and the other end in particular would be a pain to replace. Some of the staples are into exposed wooden studs, others are into some pine wall coverings, and the remainder are into sheet rock. All of them are tight against the cable and look sufficiently deep and sturdy that I don’t think it would be a great idea to try to do anything so simple as grab them with a pair of pliers and pull as I hard as I can. But I also don’t see a way to get some other tool in there and use leverage against the staple without stressing the cable excessively. I don’t want to find myself in a situation in which I must re-terminate the cable and then immediately slap a coupler on it. That would work, sure, but … yuck. Strategies? |
2024.05.29 05:13 SeaworthinessSuch720 Anyone struggling with overexplaining?
I'm a late diagnosed, but all my life I've been "misunderstood" that's how it feels, I even tried all my life to socialize which I can now as an adult and succesfully (kinda) but I remember certain part of my teenage years when every time I was introduced to a new group of people, later on the friend who introduced me, told me, "they didn´t like you, but they don't know why" and that happened a lot which makes sense now.
The new "bad" habit I picked up as an adult is overexplaining everything when I feel just a tiny threat of a misunderstanding, could be relationships or friendships, I feel I can never do short statements about explanations when there's conflict because I think I have to cover every possible misunderstanding and the other person is cool with me.
The other person often feels overwhelmed by such amount of explanation and probably they feel it's uncalled for, or they think I mean drama and I was told that I repeat the same point over and over, because if I feel misunderstood I try to explain and explain until I feel like I'm understood and nothing is ruinedbetween us, then the other person is not responding as I need and I repeat the cycle, I'm usually cut off but never too badly because when I do this I'm still very gentle and composed and understanding, but it has ruined a lot of things for me and I feel like a fool for not being able to contain it when I feel bad (I have trouble recognizing and handling emotions, so when I feel a little upset or sensitive I tend to do all of the above without much control)
Do you have any advice on how I can generally speak in a shorter way? I always feel like I need too much text to express myself properly and I'm feeling a really, really sad urge to mask this, because it's frustrating and I never mean any harm by overexplaining, I just want to be understood and understand the other person, but NT's or maybe other people see that as "drama" and it's sad and isolating sometimes, I always tell the person that I need the dumping or else I feel an overwhelming thing that would make me yap and yap nonstop too, some understand but it's still awkward af sometimes, I'm kind of frustrated and kinda feeling like betraying myself for having masking thoughts.

I always feel like I need too much text to express myself properly and I'm feeling a really, really sad urge to mask this, because it's frustrating and I never mean any harm by overexplaining, I just want to be understood and understand the other person, but NT's or maybe other people see that as "drama" and it's sad and isolating sometimes, I always tell the person that I need the dumping or else I feel an overwhelming thing that would make me yap and yap nonstop too, some understand but it's still awkward af sometimes, I'm kind of frustrated and kinda feeling like betraying myself for having masking thoughts.

YOu’ve watched all the strategy videos… Could one more class really make a difference? This is the exact frustration I went through when I was learning to trade. Sadly I lost money for years jumping from strategy to strategy. I didn’t realize I was stuck in a learning loop trying to find a strategy or gimmicky indicator that would make me profitable. I had to do something different. I had to break out of this trading trap to get where I wanted. It took years to do this and tons of mistakes losing me thousands, but I eventually made it. I want to save you the pain and frustration that I went through and give you the guidance that I wish I had when I was struggling to find consistent profitability https://courseshere.com/download/get-evolved-traders-my-trading-strategy-download/ |
2024.05.29 05:13 Different-Quote-9700 Numbness in leg
Hello, I’m a 24F I have scoliosis mildly, tight hips, a slightly shorter left leg. Recently I had such extreme low back pain and stiffness I went to the er, where they lightly fingered my back over the gown and gave me muscle relaxers and prednisone for 5 days. I’m on the 7th or 8th day now. I have minimal to no back pain, but my right leg feels like pins and needles, has decreased sensation from the butt to the toes. And tonight upon trying to walk up their stairs I learned I don’t have control of the front of my foot. I’m walking completely on the heel of my right foot, using the toes for balance isn’t happening naturally. When trying to place all of my weight on just the right foot while in the tiptoe position I loose ability and land on my heel instantly. I’m waiting for a referral to a local pcp but I lack health insurance so the likelihood of actually being seen anytime soon is slim. Does anyone have similar experiences and know what I can do. I can no longer walk normally, I feel like an arthritic 87 year old.

2024.05.29 05:13 DeadInternal Young Professionals with BPD
Wanted to write about my experience and to see if there was any other young professionals with BPD and what their romantic/social/professional lives look like.
I am in my 20s and had a pretty rough childhood(physical and mental abuse, grooming, divorces, etc) and some pretty rough examples of friendship growing up and some abusive relationships. I only learned about BPD this past year and it’s made me feel seen for one of the first times in my life.
For my professional and academic life, I was not the best student but I managed to get pretty lucky with my hobbies and landed an extremely good job out of college as a software engineer. I am pretty good at my job but due to my irrationality and tunnel vision with stuff with my personal life, I decided to basically intentionally implode my job and got myself fired. This was more or less against everyone’s advice and I’ve managed to somewhat recover from this by finding a new job a few months later thankfully.
For my social life, I have some pretty good friends but it’s honestly extremely difficult to maintain friendships. I think I’ve worked really hard to maintain my friends but I feel like I’m extremely unstable as a friend. My moods are super unpredictable and my triggers will completely shut me down sometimes. I think it’s hard because I don’t think I should expect my friends to all understand and fully empathize with how someone with BPD experiences things, but at the same time it’s super demoralizing. Especially with my more logical friends who recognize it’s an overreaction due to BPD, it’s not that I don’t recognize it’s an overreaction myself. It’s just that the experience feels so painful that I don’t know what else to do in the moment. It feels extremely invalidating when it’s just labeled as an overreaction without acknowledging how bad I felt in the moment.
Romantically I feel extremely detached, partially from previous experiences and partially because I’m scared to have people see who I am.
It feels extremely lonely despite objectively having a pretty nice life(career, friends, hobbies). Sometimes I just want to run away and disappear.
