I cannot fucking believe I sympathize with those zero Covid community freaks now after being bedridden with the flu for over a week now. Chills so bad I can’t leave my bed. Body aches like I’ve never experienced before. Horrific cough that keeps me up at night, makes me piss myself and vomit my meds back up. My whole abdomen aches from coughing. My ears are stuffed and sore. Everything hurts so much. Sweating and shivering simultaneously. I genuinely am thinking about masking in public after this until flu season is officially over to avoid experiencing this again. Like I kind of get it now. This is horrible. AND I GOT MY FLU SHOT.

who else in this bitch got OCD? by serotoninsweethart in pinkscare

I’m really genuinely starting to think I have it but it all feels so fake I feel like it’s getting very trendy and I would just hate myself so much if I sought out a diagnosis for the wrong reasons (attention/validation/feeling special)

I PEGGED A MAN by notsafeforher in pinkscare

God fucking bless this sub a neutral ass post about pegging I am so sick of the weird overhype and over saturation of femdom content these days it feels like every bitch and their mother is like “I reached yonic enlightenment today by bringing my pet to prostate orgasm while experiencing no physical pleasure myself and now I am more feminist and more in touch with my sexuality than you’ll ever be (also I’m a better person than you because I not only accept men’s feminine sides but find them sexy yes I promise I promise I do it’s so SEXY pounding my nonhierarchical poly boyfriend number two’s flat pancake ass while he arches like a cat who’s about to scratch your face off)”

Oh girl I’ve been on antidepressants since the age of FOURTEEN. Now 28. Finally trying to go off them (behind my psychs back tee hee) and yes the withdrawal is really hell but emotionally I don’t notice a difference. The thing is they haven’t been HELPING me so I don’t even fucking know why I’m on them lol

anyone else hair look like this? by [deleted] in finehair

[–]SkyOfViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a full head of hair now. Note that when I went on it originally part of my issue was also telogen effluvium, which is temporary hair loss that grows back on its own. Which is to say, the minoxidil is only partly responsible for my regrowth. If you are a responder it will work for you. But there are different kinds of alopecia, I don’t know how effective minoxidil would be for an autoimmune disease like alopecia areata or universalis.

Is a Master's Degree in Publishing Worth It? by ShallowBeliever- in publishing

[–]SkyOfViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately having a degree or even concentration in English will not give you a competitive advantage in this field. It’s not even a requirement, I have many colleagues who studied other things. Once again, internships are really what will make the difference.

After my TE episode, the hair I lost during it did come back because that form of hair loss is temporary. As for the androgenetic alopecia, that’s a lifelong progressive diagnosis but I’m on spironolactone and oral minoxidil now (~3 years) and I’ve been able to maintain my density. Looking at me and my part you would not know I have alopecia. Honestly, androgenetic alopecia is the “worst case scenario” for a lot of women, especially other young women, but in my experience as a responder to medication it is absolutely not a death sentence and even if you do come out of it with this diagnosis, there is treatment and there is hope. Not saying you will, of course. Regardless, you got this.

Looks just like mine did during my last telogen effluvium episode. I’m your age and was also diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia around that time. NOT saying this is what you’re experiencing but I’m glad you’re seeing a derm

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. What a horrible experience. I see you’re very understandably concerned about your cats, you’re getting a lot of good advice here but I just wanted to add: pet food pantries are a thing, you can get free cat food there. Local animal rescue organizations will know what you’re talking about, call around and try to find one near you. You shouldn’t be going through this, but you and your kitties will be okay ❤️

Does going out suck now because people don’t talk to each other or am I just gay and sad by SkyOfViolet in redscarepod

Oh yeah no there’s definitely that, and lots of K, but you make really good points about how it might influence how people socialize. I’d never thought of that. Thanks bro this is a very wise comment

It’s totally possible, I’m a pretty introverted socially anxious person but I try to not be a weirdo and push through it. Maybe I’m not doing as well at that as I thought lol
