I love him so much.

Holy shit that goes hard.

Call me GG

Yes I have it and also have been working inpatient psych for 10 years. Sociopathy is no longer used because that constellation of symptoms got worked into the cluster b PDs along with psychopathy’s closest modern analogue–antisocial. As I said, it’s also more reflective of the overall understanding of those presentations over time as psychology / psychiatry have evolved, including an understanding of how to treat them. It’s always been very important to me to understand where we’ve come from to better know where we’re going.

The official linguistic term is “The Euphemism Treadmill” and refers to things like retarded->special needs->intellectually disabled and sociopathy->borderline personality disorder->emotionally unstable personality disorder (although the latter is also somewhat reflective of advancement / evolution in our understanding of the disorder).

Yeah whether or not the existing power structures around it are just humans are very much “nesting” animals.

I go HARD and despite my mother’s best efforts I’m really not sure about the girl thing. More research is needed.

I mean according to half the commenters I’m not so

All the WOCN I interact with say emollient (such as Vaseline) is fine but covering traps bacteria.

From all my experiences with putting in for and subsequently reading the results of wound care consults, these are the basic rules for most everyday wounds (not deeper than the first two layers of skin and not bigger than a playing card on your arms / legs / torso and not bigger than a coin on your hands feet face or genitals)

1. Soap and water
2. Open to air (no coverings) unless it’s something that’s gonna touch a lot of gross stuff like your feet. If you have to cover it to keep stuff out of it make sure you’re also taking time to let it air out (such as by putting your foot up). You can put a thin layer of Vaseline over it.
3. Keep your hands off it.

my mother once asked my sister if it was because a boy scout leader sexually assaulted her

my parents are such an odd combination of progressive conservativism / conservative progressivism. The only thing they’re firmly opposed to is the center left.

That plus a microdose of beet juice is a common way to fake the color aspect of diluting your urine drug test.

I wanna know why Anubis isn’t thicc.

Edit:

Fucking better not. All my experiences with other women have been terrible. I probably am gay, but more because I might turn out to be a dude.

Also there are muscular twinks. Tbh most “twinks” in media have abs. They don’t have bulging muscle, but they’re almost always depicted with lean muscle. Because body shaming.

The biggest problem is I need a wider variation of characters, and especially female characters. The ragecomics, wojaks, and pepes are rather skewed towards the masc end and I need just about equal numbers especially for the courts.

I really wanna make a wojak tarot deck but I’m struggling to find enough characters. I’ll get it eventually though.

Fun fact: the FDA regulates most supplements (including melatonin) as food, not drugs. That means there are standards for what’s in them, but it’s mostly that they can’t just outright lie about the ingredients. There are nowhere near the same standards of testing for efficacy / safety, and they don’t even have to be the exact chemical structure (which makes sense for something like powdered ginger root that might vary slightly between batches / growers). Supplements can be super helpful but you really need to do your own research or get advice from a doctor experienced in holistic medicine (a lot of primary care / general practitioners / family medicine doctors are picking up on this but it’s definitely not universal).

Also pair with behavioral cues! Pick a stimulus for each sense that you only use while trying to sleep! Examples:

• Sight: dark obvs but you might try an orange night light if you need low light for mobility / safety or PTSD / night terror related reasons.

• Sound: I use a thunderstorm but other white noise mixes are also great.

• Touch: heavy blanket

• Smell: detergent, or a different air freshener than you use in the rest of the house.

• Taste: cup of chamomile before bed.

Avoid phone / TV while in bed unless the TV / YouTube is your sound cue in which case turn down the brightness / red shift it and play something boring / familiar like a sitcom you watched a lot of as a kid or a steamer you’ve seen a lot of.

Avoid most activities in general in bed except sleeping and fucking and possibly one mindless repetitive task like knitting or an easy untimed puzzle game. If you need an activity to wind down, learn to be mindful of your physiological sleepiness symptoms (mine is eyelid heaviness) and the second you feel it put your activity down immediately and lay your head on your pillow with your eyes closed.

It is very important that if you use medication to sleep you do. not. get in the habit of fighting them. If you let them make you sleep instead of using them to compliment a full behavioral sleep plan, you are going to wind up on ridiculous doses of medications that doctors are gonna get shitty with you about prescribing. Save yourself the trouble and make yourself a sleep plan. And if you have little kids that can’t regulate their sleep this is a great time to enforce (and model!) healthy sleep habits.

This will likely take about two weeks to kick in but once it does you are gonna have some of the best sleep of your life.

And to back this commenter up I have a lot of patients say melatonin gives them nightmares. Most of them have tried taking >10mg. That is waaay too much and melatonin is well known to do that in high doses. Buy the lowest strength melatonin you can and like this person says maybe even get a pill cutter and split them.
