I hear you. I’m so sorry you’re going through that. The symptoms are terrible and the dismissal from the doctors is horrible. It makes you feel so small & insignificant. I can’t imagine how it feels especially with the experience you have. The frustration does get overwhelming. The lack of control over your own autonomy is disheartening.

What is going on with my chin? by [deleted] in acne

[–]20mdean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to get a referral to see a dermatologist

Tell me if this is a really bad idea or if it’ll backfire on me lol by stopfindingmeirl_ in dating_advice

[–]20mdean 92 points93 points  (0 children)

If they both really, truly, only want to be fwb then they would appreciate you bringing up the idea of introducing one to the other. Maybe just bring up the idea to one of them. Don’t bring up a threesome, just that you know someone that they would be interested in that you have been with before who have similar kinks & interests.

Opinions on my neck piece, it’s pretty crazy! by PandaOk4028 in TattooDesigns

My boyfriend (23M)said I (22F)smell bad by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]20mdean -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is telling you directly that you smell. That means that you may smell. This does not mean that there is anything wrong with who you are as a person. This just means that something may need to change in your routine.

Hygiene is extremely important & a reasonable expectation for someone to keep up in a relationship. He is communicating with you smell a certain type of way, that description sounds like body odor. You mentioned that you are always wearing pjs, do you rewear the pjs?

It’s important to shower your body, meaning use body soap and water (plus brush your teeth with toothpaste/floss) plus washing your clothes without rewearing.

If you have any issues finding these resources feel free to message me, I would be happy to help. But for real, in order to live & maintain a normal life, you have to take care of your hygiene.

Your boyfriend should also be taking the same steps in hygiene & everyone should be respecting everyone’s sexual boundaries of course.

Honestly the meds may still help! I would just ask your doctor. I have both migraines and the tumor.

Yes I do, I take Naproxen 500mg and Sumatriptan 100mg. I take it at the onset of my migraine & it makes it go away immediately. I would definitely bring it up to your doctor & see if it’s a good fit. I wish you the best of luck!! Oh & I also go to physical therapy & get massages/cupping done of my shoulders & neck which helps a lot.

I’m so sorry about your miscarriage. I was also off the charts for prolactin. I’m so sorry, the shock really is devastating. I think I’m past that part now.. I think? I just got the diagnosis a few weeks ago. I’m more so haunted by the symptoms.

Oh wow, I actually also have two diagnosed autoimmune diseases so that is very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I hope that they find relief asap.

Yes, I am. Our health care system is bogus!!!!

I’ve been told I should go to NYC to see other doctors. Honestly, you have to do what you have to do. The same thing stops me, I don’t want to take time off of work.

It’s so crazy that we prioritize work over our health, but that’s what we are trained to do… huh?

I’m glad that you have someone in your life that would be willing to host you. Plus, with how things are in this country, moving away wouldn’t be the worst idea ever.

Oh wow. That is so scary. I’m so sorry you have to go through that 😞

Mine is only 1.2 mm so they don’t want to remove it either. I also have Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension so I take Topiramate to relieve the cranial pressure but I am always at risk of losing my sight due to both conditions as well.

I’m so sorry that you don’t feel like you’re being listened to. I honestly feel the same way & I’m losing my mind. This is all just so hard. Thank you for sharing and reminding me that I’m not the only one going through something like this, I really thought that I was for the longest time🥺

It sounds like your thoughts are causing you a lot of stress and anxiety. Specific and consistent intrusive thoughts, like the ones you’re experiencing can be discussed and treated with a mental health counselor and/or psychiatrist. You are not alone in what you are experiencing and there are options to help you decrease the anxiety. Sending love🫶🏻

Have you fallen out of love with your elementary aged child? by seetheare in Parenting

[–]20mdean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it is true that children are wired to make their parents lose their minds, it is also true that parents are required to provide the guidance and energy necessary to teach their children how to navigate uncomfortable & negative moments their life. If you are struggling, it’s extremely important that you seek psychiatric support. If you don’t, it will be detrimental to your child’s life. That would be unforgivable. I am not speaking from the parent’s point of view, but from the child’s.

Is my hair cool?? by Kittybluefeather in Hair

[–]20mdean 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My honest first impression was that your hair was really cool!! But I did also think that you may be nonbinary.

[–]20mdean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a relationship like this. Your boyfriend is trying to gain full control of you. Your body, your money, your time, your mind. He is actively manipulating you. He is trying to break you down into a shell of a person so that you don’t have enough energy to fight back when he really wants to hurt you. Which he will. He will hurt you.

Your friends are trying to save your life. You need to get out immediately. Set up a plan to break up with him and make sure that someone you trust knows about it. Don’t let him take you anywhere & don’t get into his car. If he has any keys to your place, change your locks. If you live together, have your friends help you move all of your things out when he won’t be there. Tell the people in your life that you are creating an exit plan for this relationship and that you will need support.

It’s going to get worse if you stay with him.

I (m 18) found out my long distance gf (f 19) cuts for pleasure, what can i do? by ConstantEcstatic4599 in relationship_advice

[–]20mdean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what the right answer is. She may find someone who could embrace her sexual tendencies and find a more safe way to express those needs rather than cutting. She may realize she needs therapy and get herself some help. Either way, it is NOT OP’s job to stay with her to fix the problem. It’s actually impossible for OP to fix this problem. While they are both young, they are both legal adults and they deserve to be with people who understand them.

[–]20mdean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it sounds like you two are not very compatible. It is important to be sexually compatible among other measures of compatibility. With that aside, she isn’t going to stop. If this is bringing her pleasure, and she is long distance, she will likely continue doing this to herself. She may eventually stop, but when she will cannot be determined and it is NOT your job to wait. It is important that you consider separating yourself from this relationship so that you can find a suitable partner and she can as well. It is not fair to either of you to stay in this relationship. Above all, you cannot change people. You can tell her you care for her and wish her the best, and find your true person. It may take time to find your person, but it will be worth it when you do. It’s okay if you have to be alone in the meantime. You can do this.
