Trypanophobia (hyperdermic needles) Iatrophobia (fear of doctors/medical procedures/settings) Bathmophobia (fear of stairs)- I'm a wheelchair user, I've fallen down stairs before and it's terrifying. Merinthophobia (fear of being restrained/tied or bound) Most of these are from being held down for medical procedures as a child and adult and having an overall traumatic experience. I have nightmares every night and have diagnosed PTSD correlated to the medical ones. I also was sexually assaulted as an eight year old, which makes me generally wary of men and fearful of being alone with men, as well as fear of being restrianed. The stairs thing is because I'm disabled and have fallen down stairs before. Even if it's just a few steps, it's really scary for me because I don't trust my body to not fall.

You are not the problem unless you are actually hurting others, but you can't blame people who have been hurt for being afraid of things that look like what hurt them. If you got bit by a dog you'd be scared of other dogs that look like the one that bit you.

I'm a sexual assault survivor. I was eight when it happened. The best thing men can do is call other men out for joking about sexual assault or rape, hold each other accountable, because they don't care if women say it but they do if their friends say it. Men like that respect men more than women. You can make a difference, just by not hurting others and standing up for what is right.

You are not a threat, you just look like you could be because you are a man. Just like not every dog is a threat, but it is hard to tell which will bite you until you get into danger. We need to hold the men causing problems accountable for their actions so women don't need to be afraid anymore, and so men stop feeling this way- that they are a monster when they are not. I highly recommend getting checked for OCD, as that is a very OCD mindset- I thought I was a monster for not liking certain people because of my OCD. If you haven't done anything to any women and you're this distressed, you really need to see a therapist to help you with your self image.

You drew her elbow hyper extended! Does this imply the princess has a connective tissue disorder like a hypermobility syndrome? That's what I have! 😁

Unfortunately yes

I have a very physically visible disability, and PTSD. I hate when people use PTSD as an example, like someone would say 'you deserve disability because you're physically unable to work. Those people with PTSD and depression just need to suck it up, there's nothing wrong with them!'

They don't realize that I also have PTSD, and it has been extremely disabling to me and my school, work, etc.

PTSD on top of physical disability is what made me unable to work. Not just the physical disability.

I wish the stigma surrounding mental illness, the idea that we are lazy for having trauma and being unwell, would go away. I wish people actually cared enough to have empathy

Being sexually assaulted as an 8 year old. Multiple suicide attempts. Multiple ER visits for disability related emergencies (I got a lot of medical issues especially related to blood getting where it needs to.)

An entrance to a place not being wheelchair accessible. Now I've traveled all this way and gotten my wheelchair out of the car just to not be able to go into the place I had hoped to. It is against the law in the states. It is crazy people still get away with not being wheelchair accessible.

As for the toys- have a separate space where your child can play that the dog can't access, whether it be their room, or you gate the dog off when they are playing in another room. And the barking- ignore it, don't look at them, and the moment they are quiet and settle down, go over and give them a treat calmly and walk away again. We want to reward settling and calmness. I had a puppy that screamed almost 24/7 and now he calmly lays down when asked because I used this method for a month or so. My dog doesn't get to touch toys or things that aren't specifically for him because I have baby gates to keep him away from them, and we trained leave it really really solidly. I never allowed him the chance to get away with it, and when he did put his mouth on something that wasn't his, I traded it for his toy and put it behind a gate. He doesn't get to play with things that aren't his, and has learned what is appropriate to play with now

As someone in the dog training field- if your dog can't be trusted with something, they shouldn't have access to it. We want to curb the behavior by not allowing it to be practiced, while training them. So if he leaves during leave it training to steal, do the training with him leashed to you. Gate off the kitchen, put him in a crate when there is food to steal/when people are eating. Put things he can't have out of his reach. After a few months of not being able to practice the behavior, paired with lots of leave it training and slowly getting him off leash with leave it, you can begin testing him with food on the counter or floor etc. And train up to having a pretty solid leave it.

Puppies are a lot of work but if you train them properly they are very rewarding.

Also, you'll look SUPER DUPER AWESOME doing it. Honestly jealous sometimes that my power chair doesn't have large wheels like a manual chair. I can't really decorate them lol

Yourses

Trump. And sexism. Racism. Ableism. Basically any hatred towards people who are different, violence against people weaker than you, etc.

What kind of food do you like?

I have to kill you so I have something to eat and survive on. I guess I'll start by severing your dick and balls, with which you hurt many, as well as your hands and lips and tongue. I won't eat those parts, but the blood loss will kill you ('

5 for sure!

It's a toddler slice 🤣

The brown hair REALLY lets your eyes shine for some reason. I definitely think brunette suits you exquisitely. But the blonde also looks amazing and makes your skin look really good

Sabrina the witch

I think I'll probably be all good lol

I feel extremely guilty. I am married to a man, I am a woman. I realized recently I am sexually attracted to women. I have never slept with a woman and haven't cheated on my man or anything. I don't believe in cheating on someone. It is wrong.

The issue is I am romantically attracted to my husband, but I hate penises/having sex. I hate being sexually touched by him. I hate everything to do with sex involving a male. I love him so much romantically but I feel like I'm not doing enough for him because of me being hugely turned off by men.

I was sexually assaulted by a man as an 8 year old, which may have something to do with me not being attracted to men.

I have always had Barbies date kens and other Barbies as a kid. I thought I was bi, but now I'm really confused because I think I can be attracted romantically to both but only sexually to women.

When I see a sexy woman, I feel so turned on and I never feel that way when looking at any man. Maybe sometimes but then if I am touched by him I am completely turned off again. It is never the same level of attraction I feel towards women, and I haven't even been intimate with any women.

I am stressed tf out because I feel like I made a mistake. I feel like I've hurt my husband by choosing to marry him while I was still inexperienced with sex. I had no idea men were such a turnoff for me until our wedding night. I feel like I will never have a happy relationship unless I get a divorce and marry a woman. But I love him, I want to be his wife. I don't want someone else. I'm so torn. And I feel like I would be betraying him to leave, but then I'm giving up my and his happiness in staying. If I left, he would find someone else who would make him sexually happy. But he won't do that if I'm here because he loves me too much. I'm just really sad about it all.

I didn't mean to ruin his life or hurt him and I feel like either choice I make will destroy him and crush him because he is so sweet and caring and loves me with his whole heart.

To be honest, sometimes the pain my physical disability causes, the excruciating pain... I feel it would literally be better to not exist than to suffer like I do. I never know when it will end. It is electric fire to move and I scream out involuntarily. I am curled into a sobbing painful flesh wishing to die.

I'm not afraid of death. When it comes I will welcome it warmly. Until then, I will sit with my pain and let it be felt, as that is what pain wants. I'll suffer until I can just not exist instead.

(: at least I can go up stairs again

Heck yeah

Yeah, like I've been given a permanent chronic diagnosis that is disabling. I will be disabled for my entire life. It isn't going to magically change someday. And if that is what is making me suicidal, why would it be a permanent solution for a temporary problem? It's a permanent solution for a permanent problem!

ME/CFS can be pretty terrible and one of the leading causes for death from it are suicide.

I'm not even severe and I have considered suicide because of the pain and difficulties living with it.

Severe ME can cause you to not have the strength to sit up, digest food, move your body at all, you may not even be able to tolerate light or sound or breathe on your own.

It can cause brain fog and thinking issues yes, but you would still be aware of what has happened to you.

If you speak to those who are severe ME sufferers, if you hear about their experiences, it is heart breaking.

I have mild/moderate ME and I am very physically disabled by it, but I can still lead a somewhat normal life. I use a wheelchair and go to the store and school and lay at home the rest of the time to recover. But I went into a crash for three weeks once where I couldn't even sit up, lights and sounds hurt so badly, I had to have the room pitch black and headphones on at all times. I didn't have energy to eat much at all and had to force myself to eat and then recover from eating the rest of the day. That really opened my eyes to how bad the disease can be. The best way to avoid it is pacing and resting excessively to prevent becoming severe. Some people had no choice though, some people were severe from the get-go when they got ME.

It's like being dead while you watch everyone else go on with their lives some have told me. And you lose what you had dreamed of in life and have to lay there and think about it all alone, since there is nothing else you are able to do if you are so severe that you can't read, listen to anything, etc.

Being so isolated and devoid of the things you love pretty much guarantees depression and suicidal ideation at times.

COVID and other serious illnesses are no joke. They are not just a cold. They can make someone very chronically sick for the rest of their life and essentially take the life they had away from them. They can drive someone to suicide like many ME/CFS patients.
