  • Actually, it is how bones work for many species. When you are born, the ends of your bones are not yet "ossified" and are mostly made of cartilage. So they will not show up on x-ray.

    Picture obviously can still be fake, but that actually is mostly how bones work for fetuses or infants of many species.

  • I guess it depends on how much extra they are really paying. Added up, all these items will cost a fair bit. If you pay someone to do this, it's not just about the items, but about the time it takes for them to go out and acquire these items and then set this all up. I have a really hard time believing they are offering a reasonable price for all of this to be honest. I hope I'm wrong.

  • Thank you. I have personally become too much for some of the people in my life that I'm closest to. Hurts a lot right now.

  • Confusing. It happened to me too. I'm just using a standard mobile browser and no VPN or anything.

  • Any of you tried DBT before? What did you think? Any thoughts on possible "victim-blaming" with it? (Sorry, I ramble.)

    Jump

  • My post is a bit long winded lol sorry. I stated in it that my new therapist seems to be going with DBT for me. So yes I'll obviously be talking to them about it haha but I wanted to know people's experience with it. It seems like CBT is a bit more common.

  • Like, if someone treats me poorly, why can't I defend myself? Why do I have to let them do what they want to me and just sit with it?

    Maybe a more extreme example, but there was a period of time where a younger sibling kept trying to record and spy on me naked. One day I fought back and got in trouble. My parents didn't seem to rectify their behavior. Why wasn't I allowed to fight back?

    Or in now terms, my supervisor had been routinely terrible to me. I filed a formal complaint and she has been better to me, but it made all of my coworkers extremely upset with me and ruined my relationship with them. Why wasn't I allowed to do that?

    DBT seems to be in the mindset of letting your abuser be your abuser. Or in scenarios less extreme, it seems to be in the mindset of being a pushover and not allowing your needs to ever be met.

    It tells you that you are always wrong to react (just as people on my life have always chastised me for) because you can't change them. But you have to somehow not respond to repeated abuse from them.

    So idk I guess I just don't get it.

  • Yeah I was wondering if it was a photoshop, myself. So it's really only possible for this pic to be a chimera or a photoshop, yeah? You're saying this can't be a tortie?

  • Mother started acting nice after I cut my cords with her

    Jump

  • I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Do you actually have the means to move out? I always really love to encourage people to do so if they are in an unfortunate environment. It will do so much for your mental health.

    I was in a radically different scenario, but my anxiety was in constant overdrive when I briefly lived with some roommates. Not their fault, just my own.

    Anyway, when I moved out from my roommate scenario, it was like a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders and I was so much more content in my own safe space.

    Obviously my scenario was different than yours, but the common denominator is an environment that is bad for your mental health.

    If you're able to move out, it will be easier to either cut the cord entirely or have a more meaningful relationship with your mom.

  • Well you're the one out here downvoting me when we are both on the same page so I don't understand what your problem is.

  • These adult Lego sets already have wild prices. But when an IP is involved, they are trying to charge so much for it because some people are absolutely rabid for Star Wars. Some of the die hard fans will unfortunately buy this at ludicrous pricing like that.

    Jump

  • Did I say the price was reasonable lmao??? No. I just said it is marketed to adults, so it isn't kids being "priced out" of a toy like the above user stated.

  • Things are getting so out of hand that kids can’t even play with toys anymore.

    I understand what you're getting at, but these lines of Lego toys are specifically designed as being "for adults". So the price tag is not for a children's toy. Once Lego found out that they can charge a shitton more money to make sets for adults, they started doing so.

  • I knew it!

  • Wow I feel this a lot. It's an anxiety thing? I never feel physically anxious when this happens but it's basically a lifelong thing. Tried an SSRI for a bit didn't notice much I don't think (hard for me to tell), and I was still having significant periodic emotionally charged "episodes". So my NP is having me taper of my SSRI and onto lamotrigine. I'm hoping it will help even though it's not specifically for anxiety and even though I do not have bipolar disorder.

  • It's true

    Jump

  • Or you end up thinking that but then you go through a period of struggle and the people who you thought supported you grow frustrated and tired of it and it pushes them away. Mourning the loss of the type of relationship I had with my best friend. And it's all my fault for being too much.

  • Thank you. People in my life always seem to disagree. It's hard when there isn't external validation.
