The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
Ah, the 60 yo senior charge nurse and the gay pharmacist can openly yap (in the middle of the ward corridor) about attending a strip show, but I talk about my dating life and end up in front of HR? How rude, is it because I'm brown?
Frankly, my dating life should get me in front of a psychiatrist instead. I went on a date with someone who described herself as an asexual lesbian (but had, most recently, dated a dude with a dick and tits) questioning her sexuality. Apparently she thought I might have answers. The main answer I got from that date was that I do not enjoy being choked, MMA style.*
The worst part? That was my idea. Not even for erotic reasons, I was just that bored and out of good ideas. Spent them at work, curing everyone but myself. This is not even the worst date I've been on, in fact, she's very hot and pleasant company, which is more than I can say about most straight women. I am clearly doing things very right or very wrong, but I am not qualified to tell. I'll probably see her again.
*She trains, but it's clear that I could have killed her if I wanted to. I told her that up front, sometime around the start of the date, and pointed at a convenient bridge nearby. She actually agreed, and still went for a walk with me through a rather deserted neighborhood. Queen shit.
Anecdata observation: being choked is an extremely common turn on for college educated, left-leaning western women. Probably as close to as popular as being spanked.
Oh I'm not quite ready to talk about everything else she's into. I wasn't kidding about her being a freak.
