I have neck muscle strain/neck cracking tics and have decided to get a massage to help the pain I get from it. Should I get a deep tissue or trigger point therapy massage?

I’m not really sure if I even have tics but ive been having this problem and don’t know which sub to go on. For a few years ive been tensing my neck muscles in a pulse like way because of the comfort my body gets from it and occasionally do it while cracking my neck. Recently it’s been getting more frequent and is leaving my neck sore and painful. Do I go to a massage place to get rid of the pain? A doctor? I’m sorry like I said I’m not diagnosed and not even sure if it’s tics at all but would like to know what anyone whose experienced stuff like this has done to help themselves

This is probably a really stupid question but it’s my first job ever and I’m overthinking it. To recap I got a very nice first job at a restaurant with very nice managers. Both times I came in for an interview/paperwork I just went to the front cashier area since the building was closed or empty but on the 2nd meeting I went through the cashier area to the kitchen for more work. my first days on Saturday during peak dinner rush so most likely when I go to the cash register they’ll be a line and I’ll be in uniform so it’ll look very odd for a worker to be waiting in line but I feel presumptuous if i decided to just go behind the counter right away while everyone’s busy working. Do I cut the line off to the side and ask for the ok to head inside? Or just go in the kitchen though I’m not really sure where inside the kitchen I should be

Ive recently got a job as a cashier some days and others dishwasher. I’ve never been a dishwasher and heard it’s easier while on edibles, etc. for anyone who’s been on stuff while working a shift as a dishwasher is this true?

Basically set in like a uni or office, somewhere were you can work with a bunch of people. Mc is need/keeps to themselves and slowly gets close to ml. In doing to ml’s friends also get an interest in mc and start hanging out with him after finding out mc is actually a cool/talented person and ask ml where he’s been hiding him. This makes ml jealous for some reason and he tries to subtly hangout with mc privately so his friends don’t gawk at him. Please lmk if there’s any bls like this!

When I was 7 to 12 I was always suicidal, I would write a list of all the reasons I should do it and shrivel it up and throw it out almost everyday for a while hoping the number would go down but it never did, mainly because my reasons were things I couldn’t change. My parents had me at 15/18 and I rarely saw them because they were always working to provide for me. I hated them for a long time because I never had them and hated myself even more for feeling that way knowing they did it to make my life better even though I was the reason their lives are wasted, this spiral worsened my suicidal thoughts. It was always supposed to be a sort of apology gift for them. Over the past 5 years (I’m 17 now) I haven’t been suicidal but I always believed I should’ve killed myself when I was suicidal even though I wouldn’t now. Mainly because if I had done it then my parents Would’ve still had a chance to live their lives without the weight of their accidental child, unfortunately that window of hope has probably closed already and my death would now probably do more harm then good as I help care for my little sister. In a way I might be alive still because of her but maybe not for her. Anyways this is probably a dumb question but does that make me still suicidal or not?

So when I first started I was only doing cat scratches for a few months everyday. It would be swollen and red the first few days but then turn into thin brownish lines. This was always good enough for me and was helpful when I told myself it wasnt sh since I wasn’t bleeding. I then stopped to show myself it was controllable when I started feeling dependent on it and I relapsed after almost a year in April, it was the same cat scratches with my razor. I stopped for a few weeks till it turned into that brown line color and since I had already relapsed I decided it would be fine if it did it all in one spot I could cover and I ended up accidentally hitting Styro in a streak about 4 inches long bc I just kept cutting the same spot a few times over . When the blood started coming out I had the biggest Bruh moment of my life, no pain, no disgust(I get weezy around blood), and no opinion on it at all. This whole time I’ve been sh hitting Styro felt like this huge achievement but also sign that your getting worse in a way? It was just really confusing because I kinda just stared at it come out without any thought and then quickly cleaned it up and put a bandaid before anyone saw. Is this normal?

I’m almost finished with MCD s1 and I feel like I still get characters names confused so i was wondering if anyone who’s into listing stuff would be able to make a list of characters from MCD s1 with their name, who they are, and relevant relationships with others 😅 (ie. betrothed/siblings/crushes). Ik it’s a lot to ask but it would help a lot, thankq!! <3

So i decided to watch MCD for the first time ever a few months ago and kinda took a 2 month break😅. I’m rewatching it from where I left off but there’s some question I have that I’m too lazy to search for the specific episode where it’s mentioned

#1- what happened to the king of Mateli/brightport and why has nothing happened yet to the kings of scaleswind/Ókanisis?

#2- what was the significance of Sasha making the crazy cat lady’s cat giant? Was it just a piece to connect the plot of finding levins mom to the other subplots or was it some attempt to ruin her journey?

#3- who the heck is Gene?? I lowk have zero memory of him being mentioned at all and only have seen him twice in cut scenes in the nether with Sasha 😭

So I always cut on my left forearm(most obvious Ik but my favorite) and my moms noticed twice but with a few months gap in between. She asked me about it both times and I gave her two different lies. I wonder if she’ll find out because all these instances are coincidentally on the same location so I wanted to hear if this has happened for other people and if so should I start randomizing my cuts? Maybe even changing methods

Ive been sh for a while and I love analyzing my relationship with it as it gets very complicated and contradicting at times, ig it helps me try to wrap my head around myself but every time I think I understand my sh I do a complete 180. I really wish I could have someone who understands me while not being bias bc they sh themselves and while not being someone I know as I wouldn’t want to make them upset. So I was thinking of getting a therapist but I would need to ask my parents(they know even know I sh so that wouldn’t work), and while the therapist can listen and give good feedback to try and polish my analysis, it’s inevitably going to switch to them trying to tell me not to sh which is something that gets me super mad(Ik that’s a bad way to feel/think) idek why it just gets me frustrated at the thought of someone trying to sympathize for me and try to get me to quit, so it’s gotten to the point were I want to tell my parents just so I can get a therapist but not to get help if that makes sense?? Like I don’t want my parents to know but if they have to it’s fine and I don’t want the therapist to try and treat me and my mind keeps going through the same cycle of “(thinking about my sh views)➡️wow that’s different then last time I wonder____➡️I wish someone could hear me out and give their opinion➡️maybe a therapist, but I haven’t told anyone, how would I get a therapist??➡️maybe I should tell my parents and ask them to get me one, people are always saying you should tell someone if your sh➡️oh wait they’d try to make me stop sh guess I shouldn’t tell anyone

And it’s like my family will probably find out as people have been seeing them and asking, and scars that keep reappearing will cause suspicion and my excuses will stop working so I feel like it’s better to tell them on my own accord rather than them finding out so I can get therapy but lowk idek if they believe in therapy 🤷

idk if it’s because I do it for comfort in general but something about it gives me the biggest, overwhelming, “I am loved” high in the world, like I’d genuinely start crying of happiness cause I’m like wow my razor really loves me. Ik it kinda sounds weird since sh is seen to be used for negative results but I love it sm and idk if I’m the only one

Ik this questions been asked a million times but I relapsed after my scars had almost completely faded. This whole week is going to be 90 degrees and ive been wearing short sleeves. Tomorrow is supposed to be super hot like above 90s so I’m so freaking screwed and Ik my moms not gonna let me wear a long sleeve or she’s gonna keep asking me why I’m wearing it and I don’t think I wanna tell her yet what can I do?? It’s lots of small, red, between cat stratches&styro, all over my left forearm and I’m freaking out

So ive been dealing with sh for a few years (f17). I only do cat scratches and they stay only for about 2-3 months till they’ve completely recovered. I do cat scratches because it makes me feel like I’m self harming the “right” and “controllable” way since the only valid claims I got to not cut were that you’ll grow a tolerance which I thought was crazy and knew I would never do that.anyways in order to prove to myself it was “controllable” I started to stop cutting for about a year then relapsing with more cat scratches and stopping for another month until today. For the past month it’s been a really hard battle to keep clean, lots of back and forth mentally but I still never gave in. I relapsed today because I was bored. Stupid Ik. Anyways the point is that today when I relapsed it was so weird. I was crying because I didn’t want to break my streak and felt like I was out of control. I started comforting myself and after a few minutes I was ready(wtf why would I just stop if I didn’t want to??), I cut one line a few times since it was going to be hot out and one deep line is less suspicious then multiple cat scratches. I finally broke my “only cat scratches rule” and only realized when the blood started running. The weird thing is that I didn’t feel anything and Ik that sounds super emo but I was just like aw I broke my streak for this? It sucks and now I’m feeling kinda nervous because I think I am actually growing a tolerance to it but Ik I can’t cut because the next few days are going to be super hot out so now I’m just thinking about the whole situation
