Isolated BDSM Blurts: Facehugger Fetish

Yeah, it was an overreaction, and violence is not the way we handle things in civil society, but Will Smith schooled Chris Rock, along with countless other thoughtless jerks, in a way that patient discussion never would. He did the world a solid.
 
First time the boyfriend's grandkids have been to his house since their grandma died. Made me feel good they enjoyed being here. Loved listening to stories about time spent with her. BF said this is one of the first times the kids have freely talked about her. I like being a part of this... healing??
 
I’ve been seeing some Twitter conversations about not liking it when people ask you to text when you get home to let the asker know you’re safe and others being astonished why someone would not like this because it shows they care about you.

I’m squarely in the camp of hating it. I see it as another thing I have to remember to do, because it’s not instinctual for me to let people know I got home. If it’s a D/s thing, then it’s fine, but if it’s just a friend asking it feels like a chore.

Not to mention how bad I feel when someone texts me they got home okay without me ever asking them to do that, which I’ve never done in my life. It makes me wonder if they expected me to ask and if I’m an asshole for not asking…

You're annoyed by people caring about you? C'mon Seela!:rose:

Yeah, it’s very annoying if caring is presented as hovering/weird obligation. Usually I do comply because I aim to please or whatever, but it still annoys me a stupid amount. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t talk with most of my friends on a daily basis. They might be dead on any given day when we’re not in contact and I’m fine with that scenario, I suppose, because I’m not in touch with them daily and who knows what they do on those days/nights we don’t talk. It feels so weird to be asked to let them know I’m alive one particular moment over any other other that we’re not in contact.

My male problem solver brain immediately went:
"Girl, install Tasker, make a GPS fence around your home and let it automatically message the persons who care."

Yeah, there’s an app for that.

I guess a not small part of why I don’t like it is that it’s none of my friends’ business where I go after I leave the bar or their house. They’re not my mom. Sometimes I end up in places and not all of my friends need to know all of my shenanigans. :)

I’d say tell them you appreciate them caring but think it is unnecessary and that it makes you feel boxed in or something like that.
 
Says she who followed you back to your hotel…😁
Ha! True! At least you didn’t ask me to text once I got into my room. 😂

But it was different, because I didn’t know the city. I might have gotten lost or something. And I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate the pretty but creepy hospital in night time enough if you hadn’t pointed it out.

It’s hard to find the shortcut on your own in the dark. I usually end up followin first time visitors at least part way.

Ah yes, the place where I still fight the ghosts in my dreams…
 
I nearly had a full-on panic attack at 3am today. Curled up in a cold sweat on the bathroom floor, whimpering. I'm quite familiar with depression, and with ongoing anxiety, but holy heck, this was something new and terrifying.

I've had a lot of change recently, and I don't have a great support system, but I've always just dealt with it, you know? But this incredible sense of having so much responsibility and not having anyone to fall back on was not just overwhelming, it was debilitating.

I'm trying to bounce back, but it's made me realize how fragile my foundation is because it's built on... just me. I mean, I've done a lot of personal growth, but I'm still on my own. I've got to do something about that.

The good news is, I'd already been planning to find a new therapist. Beyond that, I'm not sure. I need more to my life than just work and home, but there's not much opportunity around my small town for the things that interest me. I've got to come up with something, though. 🤔
 
Oh Honey! I'm so sorry you're having trouble adapting to all the new shite one has to worry about on their own. Just remember its a learning process and sometimes we have to do a few runs at some things to overcome them.

I've been there without support for a few years and so poor I burst into tears when a co-worker handed me a tiny folded $20 and told me to spend it on myself and not to pay a bill with it. It was like someone handing you $100 today. (Yes, I know I'm old, don't laugh.)

My point though is that even though you think you are alone, someone always sees and sometimes they give a hand because they know what its like. You never know what direction that may come from so don't close your eyes or your heart.

If you haven't, you need to write down your "survival plan" so you can see it in black and white that you have plans to make your life more comfortable if you have another attack. Do what you need to do to make yourself feel safe during those times.

You aren't truly alone. Ever. You have us, too.:heart:🧚‍♀️
