The title is a bit oversimplified because it's a title. As far as I can tell, it seems like only one or a small number of parts want to do the work required to make friends. And this part is really desperate for friendships and loves reaching out and talking to people. Both people I know, like family, and also strangers on bumblebff. But the problem is, she'll show up for one or two days and then disappear for a while. She could be gone for up to a month. But she starts these conversations and then my anxious parts want nothing to do with them. The new messages and ongoing conversations with new people make my anxious parts literally sick. And they hate it and it makes them retreat more... B

So almost 2 years ago I moved very far away from home and I felt grounded for the first time ever. I felt like I could finally access SELF and this new "me" I labeled something like "[location] [my name]". Well we just moved again to a very different place and I truly feel like I left "that me" in that location... I know I'm dissociated and probably blended, but I truly feel like she's still there, far away, waiting for me to come back. I don't feel like she's part of me anymore. And now I feel completely different than I've ever felt before. I feel like a different person and she's a stranger to me. I feel completely lost and confused and have no idea who I am. I spend my days just trying t

I recently discovered that a study Melaleuca is claiming on their website does not exist.

The claim:

"In a third-party, double-blind study, Exceed Tooth Polishes went up against leading national brands like Colgate® TotalSF—with harsh and synthetic ingredients—and Tom’s of Maine Whole Care® Toothpaste—the leading natural toothpaste brand. Among consumers who prefer natural products, Exceed Tooth Polishes blew away the competition! Study participants hands down prefe

I'm in the limbo between diagnosis and treatment right now and I desperately need advice on things I can do to lower my pressure at home. I don't have any medication right now. I've had one of the most stressful weeks of my life and I haven't been able to get any good sleep. I normally don't have any visual symptoms or headaches but for the past couple days I've been experiencing a slight headache, visual blurriness, seeing spots, sensitivity to light, and I just feel like my eyes are swollen. This is causing panic attacks because I'm afraid I'm going to suddenly and irreversibly go blind. Please tell me ANYTHING I can do at home to lower my pressure. I'm desperate. I already messaged my d

I want to see a hematologist because I desperately need treatment. I've needed it for years and doctors have been severely neglecting me. I'm trying to take healthcare into my own hands but I'm feeling helpless. The only hematologists near me are oncologists first and foremost. I'm afraid they won't be able to treat me since it seems like they ONLY do cancer. They're literally at a cancer center only for cancer patients... Please give me any guidance you can, it's been a rough day and I need to make some progress or I'm going to freak out.

I have beta thalassemia minor and so does my mom. We both experience basically being "poisoned" by iron-rich foods. We're not on iron supplements because our doctors said it would be dangerous for us to take them so we both take folic acid. When we have "too much" iron we experience basically all the symptoms of food poisoning for 12-24 hours. It happens every single time we eat something with lots of iron in it if we don't restrict ourselves. I'm talking 5oz of steak is too much and will have me literally vomiting... I can only have 2oz as my max. My mom can't eat an entire serving of arugula. Liver? I'm literally in the hospital.(joking, but seriously we get very very sick)

I'm just looking for more information, especially from people with complex trauma as there seems to be a lot of warnings on using it for trauma? (Even though it's literally in the name)

I honestly feel perfectly fine. I think I "shut down" in some way, but I feel pretty good. I don't feel dissociated. I don't feel much of anything, but I'm also not numb... I'm just... Neutral. I keep moving and doing things and I'm not even really intending to or trying to do anything, it just happens. It feels like an autopilot is controlling my body. But it's just silent in my head and in my emotions. Just radio silence... It's really not bad, but it's strange.

The breakdown was me grieving in a way that I haven't felt in a very long time and it was too overwhelming, but everything's fine now and I had support during the breakdown. After the breakdown I smoked some weed, used my alpha-s

I asked if I could abstain from watching it and was told that I literally couldn't. I was not allowed to leave the room and I didn't have the option to not be in class. How is it legal to force children to see real deaths?

Actually it's every single time I sleep. Literally. I'm not exaggerating even a tiny bit. For 11 straight years, I have not had one single night's sleep or nap where I did not have a nightmare.

I thought this was normal since nightmares are a main symptom of PTSD, but it seems like even the people here who suffer from nightmares don't have them EVERY time they sleep. I want to know if I'm the only one. Is this normal? Does this indicate I have severe PTSD? Could this be an indicator of something?

I've been actively working on it in therapy for over 4 years and I have already tried every prescription medication available and for varying reasons, I cannot take any of them. The only thing t

My favorite cookie is the peanut butter cookie from Fuddruckers and I hate all "normal" peanut butter cookies. The one I'm looking for is soft and thin with peanut butter chips. I don't like the crumbly/sandy ones that you press down with a fork and they keep their shape after baking. I want it to spread out on the baking sheet a bit like a gooey chocolate chip cookie.

I've googled looking for dupes but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm not an experienced baker so I'm probably not searching for it right. Any help would be appreciated!
