a lot of us will reblog this and think “wow i need to check on people” or “i need to make people feel loved” but 99% of us will end up not doing it because we are not used to doing it and it’ll be weird for us to start doing it out of nowhere
BUT everyone needs support, love and understanding. not because a person looks happy does it mean they no longer need help. lets all reach out to our loved ones by at least calling them hi or checking up on them. its not too late to make a good change. sure it might be weird in the beginning but trust me, they will see that you care and it will make not only their day but possibly also their life
and it can even change others to start checking on their loved ones
I apologize in advance if I hyperfocus on your blog and end up liking/reblogging 200 posts in a row like a dumbass lol.
this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price
TIL that the relationship I have with my partners is called an open equal triad. Finally I don’t have to explain it as “see I’m dating A and B, and A and B are dating! But A is also dating C, while B and I aren’t.” Thanks @thebibliosphere!
I’m a trypanophobic, meaning I am afraid of needles. My phobia has caused me to put off or completely avoid injections out of fear. However, recently I found something that helps immensely, the ShotBlocker, by Bionix.
From Bionix’s website,
’Bionix ShotBlocker® is an innovative device that instantly alleviates the pain and anxiety of needle injections. ShotBlocker® works through a novel application of the gate control theory of pain management. It is a plastic, C-shaped device with small bumps on its back. When pressed firmly against the skin at the injection site, ShotBlocker® saturates the sensory nerves and distracts the patient from pain signals caused by the needle poke. The device is both simple and easy to use, bringing comfort to users of all ages.’
The bumps aren’t sharp. Here’s a picture of my hand after I pressed the ShotBlocker to it:
Here’s a picture of the instructions that come with it:
My doctor had no problems administering the shot, and I felt no pain. I don’t mean that as in ‘just a small sting’, I mean that the needle felt just like one of the plastic nubs. Absolutely no pain at all. I was stunned.
Of course, it doesn’t get rid of the anxiety/dizziness/nausea that I get during injections. But with time, I think I’ll be able to train myself out of that.
You can buy them on Bionix’s website for 5.99 USD, I think I got mine from Amazon for a few cents less. They’re reusable and relatively inexpensive. I’d recommend them to anyone.
Hey y’all,
PSA:
I know you want people to support things but,
These “like if you don’t” and “reblog if you do” posts need to be stopped or the “Dont scroll past or your a bad person” or anything like it these are extremely extra mean to people with anxiety.These causes them to spiral and hate on themselves or this causes panic attacks.So these actually need to stop,in fact some of these are triggers to people.So stop and just make the post stating on the point and let people reblog on their own time and not your time.
Also some people support the quote being said but find them to be annoying so,please stop doing this.
These are actual guilt tripping posts and it’s really bad to do this.
I hope this can be a safe space for all who need it. (He/him. Spoonie. I’m over 18.)
