Re: IT HAPPENED TO ME: "Molly" Torpedoed My Life Overnight And I'm Still Recovering 6 Months Later

Who actually gets together and plans a night of drinking? Drugs may not be your bag, hell they sure aren't mine. They give me such bad anxiety and hangoverish horrors I gave up everything years ago. However I don't pass judgement or make distinctions between people's particular flavors of lets get a little fkd up. Im not attacking anyone personally here, just super bugs me when people who are chugging beers all weekend or posting "I'd die without my wine" memes trash talk people who smoke weed or do recreational drugs.

Stop preaching the facts of the world based on personal stories of people you know and your own opinions. You're very out of touch with the majority of American's reality.

I wonder if it also helps with hair loss?

I've had 3 in the last 15 years and they totally worsen my periods. My cramps are hardcore and I bleed for a long time. But for me it's still better than what hormones do to me. I absolutely believe it made your periods unbearable and while it may not do that to every woman, it is real and not uncommon.

I can't take hormonal birth control in any form. I
am childfree by choice and am too terrified of getting pregnant to have faith in condoms alone. I have a copper IUD, have had 3 over the last 15 years. Yes they make my already brutal periods worse. I bleed for 7-10 days. Personally, for me, I'd rather deal with the physical pain of the IUD than the emotional/mental pain of hormones. Having said all that, I was also raised in a fundamental born-again Christian environment. That shit can mess you up. I remember being taught about how god can read your mind and knows every thought you have, so when I hit puberty and began having sexual fantasies, I would panic in shame for simply THINKING about kissing a boy. I've had a lot of trouble with orgasms and I know it has much to do with the subconscious bullshit of my childhood about sex and sin. I am however able to make myself climax without guilt, at least I've got that going for me. My advice to the author, while I understand isn't being asked for, would be to find a non-hormonal form of bc you can have faith in, look into some sort of therapy about the damage religion has done to you, and explore masterbation.

Re: Think Having a Panic Attack Is Terrible? Try Having One 9,000 Miles from Home - by S. Sahi

I didn't see the title as competitive at all. My reaction was "fuck yes that MUST be a nightmare". I've battled panic disorder w/ agoraphobia for several years. The author was simply saying for her, panic attacks away from her comfort zone are worse. Which is very common, and part of the progression of the disorder. She did a good job describing the internal monologue that illustrates the anxious mind going off the rails.

My boyfriend and I started dating in high school. I was 15. I'm now 37 and we are still together. Neither one of us cares if we get married. Not because we are stupid or stuck, but because we are happy.

Re: Trigger Warnings Censor and Harm Survivors, And It's Time to Stop Using Them - by m.nicole.r.wildhood

Ffs. Trigger warnings are not 'harming' survivors. This whole piece is judgmental to trauma victims who may not be at the place in their recovery to face their triggers. What IS harmful? The attitude of "You are a trauma survivor, you aren't deficient, don't let anyone treat you as such, get over it! I did!"

Re: The Government Doesn’t Believe That I Have a Disability - by Tracey Lloyd

After my panic disorder and depression rendered me unemployable, I began my ss battle. It has been 6 years. For my first hearing, my psychiatrist voluntarily accompanied me to advocate, as well as my attorney. The judge disregarded my own treating physician's testimony and used the court appointed mental health expert's opinion in his unfavorable decision. The appeals council sent my case back to the judge, citing all his errors and was instructed to conduct the hearing again. A second unfavorable decision was rendered. I'm on my last appeal. I understand how hard and maddening the process is. If it wasn't for the encouragement of everyone in my life who believes so strongly in this, I would've thrown in the towel a long time ago. It's too stressful, too hard. I wish you the best of luck.

Rosa,
I relate to your feeling it's exclusive here. I've been here a while, I've yet to fit in anywhere. I'm too old for some, too shy for others, too unhip for the rest. Of course I'm not big on sharing much, because my mind is too jumbled to type insightful, coherent posts, so I can't expect to connect with many. I must say it's interesting, you appear to have a great niche here from what I observe. I always enjoy your posts and wish I had a closer connection to people here like you seem to have. No matter who we are, we are all entitled to feel uncomfortable from time to time. I thought a different perspective might shed some light.

I know we don't know each other but I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to let my dog Patsy go 3 years ago. She was only 10, she had some horrible issue with her joints and eventually she just couldn't get up anymore. Like Emma, Patsy had been with me thru everything, giving me nothing but love. The pain is awful, it never really goes away but it does get easier. I wish you eventual comfort and peace.
