Ballshroom guy, it will never get better if you scratch it, that's not just a saying. And unless you buy the expensive single treatment tinea creams, you need to apply it twice a day after washing the area for weeks or even months, and persist for a week after symptoms end. And you need to be very regular about washing your sheets and underwear. Jock itch cream is specifically designed for the tinea that inhabits your 'nads, so don't cheap out and buy the foot stuff like I did before Iearnt better. Ask your doctor for a cortisone cream to mix with the tinea cream amd speed the healing. Be fully honest with your GP about your addictive scratching history. You will have weakened the skin, likely meaning it'll take longer to treat.

Please go to therapy and tell your therapist what happened to you. Actually just recite that whole email to the therapist. If you're not fully honest about everything, you won't be able to get help in the way you need it.

Get a semicolon tattoo.

Solice Kirsk posted:Get a semicolon tattoo. I thought semicolon tattoos were for suicide? The 'anon' specifically said she doesn't want to end her own life. And I can sympathize with her. I didn't have as bad a childhood as her, but I still can't think about letting people in (psychs included) without having severe anxiety and shame. I wonder if thats her experience as well... e: assuming, ofc, if it isn't someone just making it up to 'troll' in some wierd way...

It was explained to me in this thread that it was for depressed people that choose not to commit suicide. I'd say she fits that bill. Plus, even a lovely tattoo makes you 100% cooler. Maybe it will give her confidence. Maybe it will act as an ice breaker to start conversations with people. Maybe it will signal to others that know what it symbolizes and she can start slowly building trust with those people. It wasn't a 100% flippant remark.

If I got home early from work to find my wife cheating on me, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be going out to dinner with her a few hours later. I guess you need to be really used to being cheated on for that?

quote:I'm also really turned on by the idea of thin women getting fat. I guess because the people I see that gain a huge amount of weight were already pretty fat to begin with, so a sexy thin woman getting really fat is exciting to me. I'll trawl the internet, looking for the Holy Grail of weight gain, an anorexic woman under a hundred pounds that gains so much weight she eventually tops out at over 300 lbs, particularly if it was in a very short timeframe like under a year. Same person who posted the one about having been molested before: quote:Yeah, the watermelon person is right. I'm ashamed of it. I feel like a horrible person for it, even though logically it wasn't my fault. I was diagnosed with borderline, too, and that therapy I don't like at all. I'm just generally a broken person, and I genuinely don't think I can be helped. Meds don't work, therapy doesn't work, and the fact that I have no support structure whatsoever doesn't help matters either.

Sadgoon: I would really recommend therapy and being totally honest during it. You said that during previous attempts at therapy you never brought the abuse up, and that means you weren't being treated properly. I mean, think about it this way: the worst thing that happens is it doesn't help you and we're back to square one, but there's a very real possibility that it can do you a ton of good and change your life. Note that this will not happen quickly. It'll probably take years of therapy and hard work on your part, but if you're serious about recovering I believe you CAN do it!

Yeah, how dare people want to do something to let other depressed people know that they are not alone and other people have gone through that as well. They should all be ashamed and just isolate themselves away from the normal people so the normal people don't have to be reminded that there are hurting depressed people out there.

The idea of getting a tattoo to make sure everybody knows you didn't kill yourself seems attention-seeky out of context, but I'm personally of a mind that dangerously-depressed people who have literally survived a brush with suicide have the right to be a little self-indulgent if it helps them feel better Like, you're criticizing people with severe, dangerous mental illness for doing something that seems a little immature to make themselves feel better. That's missing the point a little bit.

I've known plenty of folks with mental illness, and plenty of people that didn't kill themselves. I've been through some pretty dark poo poo too, and don't sport a bandwagon tattoo. I agree with the confessor in that anyone I've met with the semicolon tattoo has been an insufferable attention whore. If I'm missing the point then I'm ok with that.

Considering what else people get tattoos of typically, a semi-colon is very far from the bottom of the list of lovely tattoos. I guess you could call it attention-seeking, but you could say that about pretty much every tattoo in a highly visible part of your body. You wouldn't have gotten it there if you didn't want to talk about/be asked about it. So they like talking about how they overcame their mental illness instead of how much they love mom, or how they totally identify with some random chinese letters - whats the big deal?

From what I've heard of it it's not for attention seeking from people who haven't had to go through it, it's to let people are struggling know that they're not alone. Like, I don't get why people think everything has to be about them. Just because a person gets a semicolon tattoo, it doesn't mean they give a poo poo about your attention or want it. Like I said, it's not about you.

I can imagine that ideally that's the case. I'm afraid I just haven't seen it used that way in practice. It's not the tattoo I have a problem with. It's not even the message it could maybe send if worn by someone who isn't an attention whore. It's my (and the anonymous confessor's) experience of the type of person who gets the tattoo, and them being insufferable. That's where my problem is. Maybe I'm not seeing the semi-colon tattoo on the people that wear it and aren't attention whores because they aren't attention whores? I'm not suggesting causality, but I do find a strong correlation.

Molested goon,quote:"you are just a manipulative person, and don't want to get better" This might be the most honest thing you've written. The reason people block you is because you are doing something that drives them away. You probably don't know what that is and are not doing it intentionally, but your judgement is not to be trusted here. Like others have said, therapy where you don't lie to your counselor is a start. When you decide to truly work on yourself, you will find that others are comfortable with you.

Bit of a dry spell lately, but we've got a live one herequote:I broke up with my ex around a year ago, after 2+ years of dating. It was a pretty amiable split as far as these things go. She moved out of the house (I owned it before we dated) back to her parents and took all her stuff with her. We knew we would still run into each other on occasion, and were okay with that. We also both moved on and started dating other people after a few months. All seemed well, until about 2 months ago: Alternate theory: your ex is being targeted by the Origami Killer

My ex-wife did something similar. We had been separated for a few months and I had gotten a new place. She insisted that she come over and look at my boxes because I may have had something of hers so I stupidly said yes. She comes over and we talk a bit. The conversion ends with her saying that she knows its her fault for our break up (cheating) and is there anyway to get back together. I politely inform her that we have started proceedings and that I think its best we continue. She storms out and calls me 15 minutes later on her cell. I can tell by the noise she's driving and she crying asking me if I still love her, to which I reply "its not the same" and I encourage her to pull over before she kills someone. She just hung up and that was the last time I saw her other than our court date for the divorce. I later heard through mutual friends that she got in to therapy for a few years and got her heard straight. So basically, don't feel bad. When people want attention they usually do negative things because that's easier than doing something positive. Hopefully this incident gets her the help she needs and allows her to continue on with her life.

After many years of blundering my way into more complicated jobs than I deserve to have, I have learned that being good at your job and appearing to be good at your job are functionally (nearly) identical; it's why "fake it till you make it" usually works. As long as you're not doing anything critical like doctoring (or anything where people's lives depend on you) then who gives a poo poo? Run with that fucker as long as you can, and as long as you're charming and personable you'll most likely never have to worry about it.
