So…how likely would Leander do that thing Zeus did, and trap you in his consciousness forever because he won’t let you go?

#for context…#zeus tricked his wife metis into turning into a fly and swallowed her so she’s trapped in his head forever #and I don’t know if it’s the most messed up thing the king of gods did but it’s gotta be at least one of them #closed off from the world forever only existing as a pretty voice to lend counsel and advice to your lover from time to time #he marries hera after that too #…oh shit this gives off Seaspring vibes actually #the whole…trapped in your lover’s subconsciousness part #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved leander #greek mythology #ramblings #leander x mc #mc x leander #leander x reader #reader x leander

I made the first step. I called a counseling office in my area. I don’t have an appointment yet but they’re going to call me back by the end of the week.

I’m scared, but I’m going to be okay.

Hey guys, I've got some genuine questions for the furry community to help a client and I'm hoping y'all can get this where it needs to go

So a teenage client disclosed to me that they consider themselves a therian or not entirely human. I asked them if there is a particular animal or being that they identify with, and they said wolves.

As someone who isn't a part of this community, I'm hoping y'all can point me towards some resources. Particularly for common terminology (I didn't know what a therian was until they explained) and any considerations I should make to ensure they know that they are welcome and accepted with me. Also open to learning about misconceptions and anything else you wish your therapist would know ahead of time :)

Thank you in advance!! <3

Hi Bildad. I know this isn't at all what your Tumblr is for, but I don't have anyone IRL to talk to about this, and my husband reads AITA. If you want to just leave this in your inbox unanswered, that is ok.

Today during an argument, my husband told me that he has not been attracted to me since we got married (20 years ago!) Around that time I started on antidepressants and they caused me to gain some weight and then I gained some more weight. Currently I am 5'6" and 190lbs.

He has hinted at this a couple times over the course of our marriage and frequently turns me down for sex (one time we went a whole year without any sexual activity). He said that he has never been completely honest about this before because it would hurt my "fragile ego" and send me into an "emotional spiral".

When we were first married, he was in good shape, but about ten years ago, he started putting on weight, too. He is currently 6'0" and 260lbs. He says that he knows that it's not fair, but he's just being honest about how he feels.

Currently I'm considering getting bariatric surgery, vs trying to do my best to diet and exercise while working full time and raising three kids with him, vs calling it quits and trying to find someone who likes my body the way it is. I have a fairly high sex drive and I'm feeling very frustrated.

Again, sorry for venting here. Not something I'd be willing to admit to family or friends but just needed to get it off my chest and this seems like a safe space.

Hi, anon. Sorry you're going through this.

Now, to paraphrase AITA (and r/relationship_advice, and r/relationships) You don't have a weight problem. You have a husband problem.

It shouldn't take a midwife to know that bodies change after giving birth and it seems you've done that three times. And that's not even getting into the normal weight gain that comes with aging. Nobody looks the same as they looked 20 years ago (well, unless you're an immortal being--which I am definitely not by the way, 100% totally human shoemaker obstetrician right here)

Your husband knows this. He's aged and gained weight, too. And not to get all Freudian, but I'm betting his criticisms of you are actually projection of how he feels about himself. (Especially the "fragile ego" and "emotional spiral" part. Such classic projection it might as well be an old silent film.)

He probably didn't mean what he said about not being attracted to you for your entire twenty-year marriage, if you two were arguing when he said it. It was just something he knew he could say to hurt you in the moment.

That's not an excuse, by the way. Every relationship is gonna have fights (don't ask me how I know), but you shouldn't be fighting dirty against the person you love. Fuck nasty, sure. But not fight dirty.

Speaking of which, sex drives often wax and wane over the course of lifetimes, and relationships, and a group of two's respective shifts don't always line up. Still, if there's an ongoing mismatch then the couple should do their best to figure out a compromise that works for both of them.

Is your husband doing this?

Is he doing half the childcare so you have the free time to exercise?And relax, too, because you won't have the energy to exercise if you're too tired from work and childcare.

Is he doing half the grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking so your whole family can eat a healthy diet?

Is he trying to get back into shape and lose weight himself?

And finally, the hard (pun intended) one--is he cutting back on "pornography!" (to quote Sandalphon) so he can direct the majority of his sexual energy towards you? Has he checked with a doctor about his testosterone levels? Blood flow?

You don't have to tell me, but the answers to these questions might tell you whether your husband is putting enough effort into your marriage to make it worth saving, versus calling it quits and finding someone who will appreciate your body the way it is--and there are many people who will (just ask @mrazfellco about my obsession with his belly and thick thighs)

But the most important person who needs to appreciate your body the way it is isn't your husband or a hypothetical post-divorce boyfriend. The most important person who needs to appreciate your body is you.

And so you need to do whatever it is that will make you feel good about yourself. That might be diet and exercise. That might be bariatric surgery. That might just be losing 260 pounds of husband.

But whatever it is, it needs to be for you.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to you, and have an ox rib (platonic)

Doctrine?

I hope the following will help us identify things that do and do not change over time. I think if members would stick to this, we would have fewer problems honestly. I'll use the Word of Wisdom for my list below, but you can add anything here and it will work well:

Doctrine (pure truth that never changes and can be applied to all God’s children at any time in the history of the world) - * Example: "Our earthly, mortal bodies are an important part of God's eternal plan for us."*

Principle (a good value derived directly from Doctrine that does not contain a specific practice) - Example: "We should take care of our mortal bodies and treat them with respect"

Policy (a specific practice required by the church as part of the regular order of behaviors) - Example: "No coffee, tea or tobacco, and this is required for a temple recommend."

Counsel (a specific set of recommendations and guidelines, often derived from Principle but not something the church has implemented as required Policy) - Example: The rest of the Word of Wisdom

This was life-changing for me, and I hope it does some good for you as you listen to counsel from church leaders speaking about the doctrine of God - and also about principles and practices that are important to them.

“Choosing yourself won’t result in losing the right people. If choosing yourself (setting a boundary/engaging in self-care) results in losing them, question their motivation for being in your life. Why does protecting yourself hurt them? What do they gain from your self-neglect?”

I need some advice

Does anyone have any advice on how to ask for a school counselor?

I’m going though a bit, and I’ve been too scared to ask for one for a long time, but it’s gotten too much to not talk about so I want to get a school counselor.

Anyone who has one or has asked before, do you have any tips? Is it better to ask directly at school or maybe email my head teacher?

Thanks to anyone who might have advice, don’t be afraid to tell me <33

(Put the wof tags so it could reach more people)

Hope you’re all well and I’m always here if anyone wants to vent or anything ❤️

Genuine question cause I don't know what to do. I'm currently pursuing a computer science associates, and so far I've hated it. I've had two mental breakdowns specifically in relation to my calculus classes (a pretty bad one for the Calculus 1 final, and about a two week-long extended one leading up to the Calculus 2 final). My therapist believes that I should change my major, and for a long time the one that seemed the most appealing was something related to psychology. The idea of being a therapist sounds really nice in theory. My parents on the other hand believe that it's a terrible idea, they think that being a psychologist/counselor/therapist, especially if I decide to go through with transition, (they're not supportive of me being trans) will make me poor. I can't do math well, I feel as though I have undiagnosed ADHD or something similar. I feel so lost and don't know what to do. Any advice or experience being a psychologist or therapist, especially one who is queer would be greatly appreciated, cause I'm receiving two very different perspectives on whether or not it would enable me to live well.
