Reply to comment by Belnak in LPT: When buying/renting a home with a partner/friend, create a unique email account for that home and forward emails to your individual emails by theonlybuster
This seems like a security risk, sending emails that have your physical address as the email address.

Reply to comment by DroolingSlothCarpet in LPT: If you're going to a therapist you trust, plan what to talk with them by GaraBlacktail
It’s impossible to know if you’d trust them until after you’ve actually seen them.

I wouldn't even mention Takeda to anyone who isn't working at a very high end restaurant or an absolute knife geek lol. His work is immaculate but hard to find and well over double what I've spent on most of the knives in my roll lol

This is pretty good LPT mainly because of the fact that some people have issues using the “reply all” button rather than just the “reply” one.

Be kind and nonjudgmental. Have you done any research on self harm? Do you understand why the majority of people do it? Do some research. Keywords would be "Self-Harm in Adults/Teens" (I don't know how old you guys are, so use whichever applies).
Realize that his self-harm has nothing to do with you. If you bring it up, be prepared for him to react negatively. If you are kind, he should come around after he realizes that this isn't an attack.
If you talk to him let him know that you love him no matter what and that you want to support him. Make it clear that you are not angry or upset, and that you understand that this is both a coping mechanism and an actual addiction (self-harm such as cutting releases endorphins, the body starts to crave that in times of stress).
You should never take away one coping method without replacing it with something else. Urge him to seak mental health treatment. If he will open up, ask him what kinds of feelings trigger the need to self-harm. If it's anxiety, look into the 5-4-3-2-1 method. Different triggers are going to require different types of coping mechanisms.
I can not stress to you strongly enough that they should go to a mental health professional. They are obviously suffering in some way, and the right person can help to heal that. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right therapist/psychologist/etc., but it's absolutely worth it.
Good luck OP, reach out if you have any questions.

It’s more egalitarian but if you’re only looking out for yourself I guess advice that benefits everyone isn’t for you

That’s the proper way to do it but you’d be surprised how often this isn’t the case

Oh I do this all the time. Then make sure to say ok minutes over and pass your notes and pen to the right or left

As long as you are gentle and sincere I don’t see why it would be inappropriate for you to ask him about that except for it being a new relationship. If you’ve noticed then I think it’s means to bring it up, but I really have no advice of what to say. I hope things can be better for you and him soon

I always give a slight pause when taking a handful of meds or supplements. Pro Tip: swish them around in your mouth with some water before trying to swallow them so they don't stick together in your throat by trusting saliva alone.

Never happened in any meeting I attended that this would be suggested - woman taking notes. There was always a designated person or a rotation between everyone.
