    I almost just cut my thumb off for the second time since 2020 :( Doesn’t look like it needs stitches tho… back to what I was doing before!
    L
    Almost forgot that I have to be awake and on the road by 9am to be at an obedience training workshop 1hr30min away. Goodbye sleep. Lol

    Just realized I have reached 5000+ karma. That might sound insignificant but it means a lot to me. I am humbled. Never felt likeable irl!!!

    That means so much to me! I try to be supportive to everyone to the best of my abilities, and I really love all of you guys too! This is more of a support system than I have EVER had in real life!

    Seeing that my third highest karma score is "funny" makes me smile too because you guys are the first people who have ever understood my sense of humor lol.

    Congrats to you. This place does have caring people. And of course those trolls in the basement.

    One of those days where I have terrible self-esteem :( I gained more weight and I have an acne breakout :( I feel like crap!

    I would love to see a dermatologist, assess my skin, personally. But unless you have problems that leave you disfigured, you don't matter, on the nhs. It's not serious enough.

    Yeah, cortisol is a big one, and my early 20s were stress central. Testosterone another. And we women actually have that one too, and it's important for physical strength, muscle tone, bone mass, and being bothered to do things that can potentially pass on your DNA. Wrong kinds of fats, etc.

    I guess I'm spoilt because Australia has a very good Medicare system. The GP just refers you to the dermatologist and you pay a gap fee, it's part subsidised.

    Many of you know that Enzo (Pointer) has issues with kids. Well, today he played very nicely with a sweet little girl. Making great progress

    Thank you! I will absolutely take you up on that if/when I can get to Australia! Your kindness and friendship are always greatly appreciated :)

    By the way, I had to laugh the other week when I realised I'd recommended a body pillow or big teddy to snuggle up to at night, for anxiety and insomnia - and then I realised you probably snuggle up to your dogs! :)
    L
    Luca
    LOL! I do snuggle with them... more like they snuggle with (on top of) me!
    My pillows frequently get humped, or eaten xD

    I took a nap and had a dream that I had a sister. I rarely have good dreams but that was a good one. It felt very real!

    Same! I have no idea what’s happening. I would like to say God has something to do with the good dreams but I don’t really know.

    I have a dream I have a wife and daughter. It's nice but never possible in the real world.

    Sometimes I honestly don't want to stick around this forum. The contempt and vitriol towards people with mental health issues is appalling.

    I agree. They are open to all kinds of mischief!

    I like mischief, @maycontainthunder! :) Want to collaborate?

    @crewlucaa_, the majority of people here seem to be kind and helpful; don't let a few people put you off - I don't! ;)

    And if you were to go, it would swing the balance the wrong way. You are much appreciated here, by more than just yours truly! :)

    The mods move fast here and won't tolerate anything not polite and civil.

    Were you able to figure out how to view the stuff at generatorland? Clicking more than once, so you saw multiple results?

    Sometimes I just need to hang out in my bed and listen to music. It was a slow weekend businesswise so I'm just having a chill Monday.

    I took my dogs to the beach. I seriously wish I had been recording, because ENZO PEED AND POOPED ON A SAND CASTLE!! I never laughed so hard!

    Nope. A bunch of them went swimming, but that's fine because it was very warm out. The Pointer refuses to have anything to do with water.
    And yes, it was an abandoned sand castle. I know this is horrible but it would've been even funnier if a kid had just built it LOL
    Callistemon
    Callistemon
    Then you could have scooped up the poop and bought the kid an ice-cream in compensation for the temporary desecration of their beach temple. Just not chocolate soft-serve... ;)
    Callistemon
    Callistemon
    Sounds like you had fun though - all of you! :)

    (The ice-cream thing came from the old joke about the hospital announcement that due to a mix-up in urology, no apple juice was being served for lunch...)

    My emotions are out of control. Sorry for so much negativity, I’m not usually like this :( I know I have a hormone imbalance (estrogen)

    Lol!! That's not what I'm saying at all. Hormone imbalances can cause mood swings and changes in emotions.
    I'm also cranky because of the pelvic pain.

    I always to pills that had the lowest amount. I think l took estrogen only.

    You can always split them if you think the dose might be too high and you want to try it lower - just it may interfere with contraception but if that's not primarily what you're taking it for, then it's no biggie to use backup if contraception is required.

    I found out that the conservation land behind my house is used for rituals by a satanic cult. Not joking.

    Like I said, it might not be true. Idk if they would put a whole housing development in a place where that was a known issue. There is a lot of conflicting information online. But I’m only here temporarily anyways.
    L
    I don’t know what’s going on with my emotions lately. I should probably get some help. Might be because I’ve bottled things up for too long.

    I've been worrying about you a bit with the way you've described some of this. It's a lot. If you're in therapy, ask your therapist--definitely find some kind of help
    L
    Luca
    I see my therapist in a few days. I think I’ve just been bottling up emotions for too long and not talking about what’s actually bothering me. There are a lot of things that have happened lately in my life that are probably contributing to my distress.

    Girl- pm then. Or email. Just get it out. Sometimes we just got to talk to a neutral party.

    I know I should try to be less negative about myself, but I really don’t feel like I’m doing a good job of being anything besides annoying.

    But then, I'm sure that the conspiracy theorists / alternative facts people on this ND-specific forum aren't going to think I'm Ms Wonderful either (and that's fair enough, and vice versa).

    And likewise, I met people I'm still in touch with years later, on not specifically ND forums, and think it's going to be similar here...
    Callistemon

    I do think this is the most thematically interesting and diverse forum I've been on, and has a ton of people who give it a good atmosphere, and nobody I've come across I would describe as a troll (not all conspiracy theorists etc are trolls, and not all trolls are conspiracy theorists...)

    Callistemon, I found that standing out for being different was a cause for friction with some people on NT forums. On autistic forums difference is more accepted. People may disagree but disparage you much less just for being different.

    I tried to make some friends and they just ended up thinking I was weird, and all my jokes fell flat. I’m crying myself to sleep.I’m a loser
