AIO for deleting my Snapchat after finding out my brother was tracking me?

I found out that my brother was using the location feature in Snapchat to watch where I am when I'm not home. He had in the past months made comments about knowing when I was driving through certain areas and "watching me drive". The last straw was when I was hanging out with a friend and he sent me a message asking why I was at the location I was. After figuring out he had used my location on the Snapchat map and a bit creeped out that he was keeping track of where I was, I turned my location off in Snapchat.

He then started asking to see my phone randomly after I had turned off the permissions. When I asked why he needed my phone or what he was going to do he would pretend like he didn't remember why he wanted it. He's a computer guy and pretty tech savvy, so I usually have him help me if I have phone issues. I let him use the phone yesterday for a second to fix an issue I had. As soon as I got my phone back, I looked at my Snapchat. He had turned my location back on.

Again, yesterday, I left my phone in the other room because I'm a forgetful ADHD and asked him to grab it for me because he was in there. After he grabbed and handed it out back to me, I checked my Snapchat app again. Location was back on. I deleted my Snapchat. Am I overreacting?

Therapist made me cry (in a good way) and now I feel super vulnerable. Should I bring that up too?

First, I appreciate my therapist. I've been seeing her for about 4 years and she has been nothing but supportive and awesome. Yesterday I brought up my fear of rejection and how the more I respect and get to know someone, the bigger the fear of disappointing them and failure increases and I realized that was starting to include her, which was making it more difficult to disclose things to her.

She told me nothing I could tell her would make her disappointed in me, which felt good to hear aloud but made me really emotional. We talked about a few things after that I had been having difficulty bringing up and the session overall went really well. The only problem is I felt really vulnerable after all that and kind of still do, while thinking about our session. Is this vulnerability something I should bring up with her?

Is this grounds for my therapist to recommemd inpatient?

I plan on bringing up some SI and SH urges and behaviors in therapy tomorrow. I have googled ways to obtain certain resources regarding the SI urges but don't have a definitive plan. While my therapist doesn't tend to overreact, would this be grounds for her to recommend a grippy sock vacation?

Would a therapist be concerned about this?

I plan on bringing up my SI tomorrow in therapy and have been googling ways to obtain certain things related to this ideation but don't have a definite plan. My T isn't one to overreact, but would this be grounds for a place with grippy socks? I'm just worried about bringing it up.

Would a therapist refer out for this or is it something we can work through?

I've come to realize that my therapist has almost become someone that I'm afraid to tell things to. Not because of our relationship, but because I've come to realize that the more I build a connection with someone and come to trust and respect them, the more I become afraid of them becoming disappointed in me and I fear their rejection. Is this something that would come across as rude to bring up or make my therapist want to refer me out?

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Overstimulation sucks

I feel so stupid. I was waiting for my brother to get done with an appointment because I was his ride. He got in the car and started yelling at the top of his lungs about his appointment. I shut down and started shaking and crying even though it wasn't directed toward me. overreacted and feel so dumb. Now it feels like my nervous system is on overdrive and I can hardly even bring myself to talk.

How do people explain gluten sensitivity at restaurants?

Hello all. I figured out this year that I have a gluten sensitivity. Bloating, trapped painful gas, cramping, vomiting, brain fog, migraines the whole nine yards from a half a slice of gluten laden bread. I have been gluten free for about 3 months but have a vast knowledge of it due to a past friendship with a severe celiac.

My question, is what is the etiquette for when restaurants ask if the gluten free request is allergy or preference?

I had a celiac test a few years ago (which may not have been accurate for lack of eating gluten in the prior months before the test) which came back negative. Because of this, I usually say, it's not an allergy, but will make me sick. What is the proper response to this question? Thanks to anyone who answers!

Will version 1 of asthma rabbit ever come back?

I like the design for v1 so much better than v2 and in the description it says it won't come back for a long time. Will I probably be just endlessly waiting? Haven't had much luck finding a resale and would rather support Plushie dreadfuls directly, too, if possible.

Will my therapist report bringing up ideas of wanting to self harm?

*Tagged NSFW for sensitive content*

I want to make it clear that I have not and do not have plans for current self harm, but, have wants and urges to.

I have cut in the past, but have not done so in over 12 years. I have recently been getting urges to want to do so again, and want to bring this up to my therapist, mostly at why I'm feeling these urges, however, I am worried if this is something she would report? TIA for any replies.

Is asking your therapist for more frequent sessions rude?

​

Hi all. I have AuDHD so, my apologies if any of this is unclear.

TLDR-- is asking your therapist for more frequent sessions because I currently have so much going on that I always feel like I never get to everything I want to talk about, in any way considered rude (also how would that affect my insurance) towards the therapist? I currently see my therapist twice a month TIA for any replies!

The longer story--

I've been seeing my therapist for about 5 years twice a month. I've been wanting to ask to see her more frequently for some time because I always feel rushed every session to talk through everything that has happened in two weeks. They are usually important things, too (without going into too much detail, I have many health problems, so, for example: in the past two weeks I've been in the ER, need to talk about toxic home life, update my therapist about legal and other health issues etc) and getting to all that in 45 or 50 minutes often just doesn't happen.

I'm A) concerned my insurance would reject the extra sessions (Medicaid), and B) don't want my asking for more sessions to be considered rude or overbearing towards my therapist. Any insight from an actual therapist would be awesome, but any replies welcome. TIA to any who reply
