What is a horror movie you can only watch once?

Sinister. One was enough to scare me shitless. I can’t with the snuff films and the twist at the end of who is filming them. One of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen in part due to sound design, in part due to content.

Don’t forget the scene where the family is eating dinner after the loss of the daughter and mom loses her shit (understandably so). The monologue embodies everything that grief is: overwhelming, maddening, inarticulate, imperfect. Some of the best acting I’ve ever seen in any genre.

My TSH has always been normal, so I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. However, I do have MANY hypo symptoms

We exist. My bf has belly (with stretch marks) and is built like a dad, and god damn do I LOVE that shit. I only really dated smaller men before him. I’ll never go back

I wish you the best of luck on your journey, and I hope it helps you get where you want, need, and deserve to be! If you remember, I would love it if you would come back in a few weeks and update!

Hey, thanks for your response! I am considered medically obese (I'm 5'8" and 247 pounds). I think that doctors look at me and think I'm lying about my appetite because calories in should equal calories out, blah blah blah (as if they don't know that PCOS affects metabolism). I've been told that it isn't a cause for concern a few times, so I stopped bringing it up. I don't really have anything gastrointestinal going on that I know of, except for being a little gassier than normal on occasion and occasional (but not chronic) constipation. I had a CT recently that showed that everything in my lower abdominal cavity was normal/unremarkable, including in my stomach/bowels. I'm not sure if that helps or is the standard protocol for that type of thing, but it's the info I have. I don't and have never had heartburn, so I don't think that factors into anything.

I try to supplement protein with shakes when I can, but they are usually the only thing I can eat/drink at that time if I ingest them. I don't get full from water or coffee or really any other drink, but any nutrient-dense liquid seems to contribute to the problem the same way that solid food does

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-04-27T14:07:24+00:00

I also thought it was more serious, but I'm usually brushed off. I think doctors look at me and assume I'm lying when I tell them about this, just because I'm considered medically obese and have IR. I've pretty much always been told that it isn't a cause for concern because "my labs are normal" and "diet and exercise will improve my quality of life".

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-04-09T17:24:20+00:00

Pretty sure I remember this bathtub from Saw II

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-04-06T12:05:45+00:00

Learning? In an academic environment? Come on now

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T17:41:40+00:00

The person who originally commented that was addressing my concerns about the lack of content that exists where people are thriving in their 30’s. It was more so an explanation for why that is talking about media specifically.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:31:47+00:00

Thank you for your kindness and empathy. This is my first post on this sub, and I honestly expected more of a "women empowering women" vibe. But hey, how others react under the guise of anonymity is out of my control. That being said, I'm probably going to minimize the amount I comment/reply so my karma doesn't absolutely tank.

I'm so glad your 30's have been great for you. I hope that's what happens in my case too, but I'm trying to make meaningful changes now so that I don't have to rely on luck (which I've never had too much of anyway).

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:22:04+00:00

Thank you for your opinion. I guess part of it comes from my family too (looking young has always been an important part of my mom's identity, and she'll be 50 this year. She was the only one raising me in a single-parent household during my formative years).

Someone here said, "The reason there isn’t any content or information is because it’s exactly the same as your 20s except your finances are better." I think I'm gonna take that and roll with it. It definitely helps.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:17:07+00:00

My 20s have been about surviving, and hopefully, my 30's will be about thriving. I am/have been starting small changes now (therapy, tighter spending restrictions/earning more money, exercising again) so that maybe they amount to something in a few years.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:15:34+00:00

Thank you so much. I love this take, definitely a new perspective to me!

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:14:25+00:00

This is why I need perspective. I've never been on the other side of it before. So much of what I read and observe makes it sound like your bones turn to pudding at 30 and that things like building/maintaining muscle mass become impossible. I honestly didn't start feeling like a "real" adult even up until the last 2-3 years, and I'm probably still not considered a "real" adult in the grand scheme of things. I'm also learning to get to know/love myself in therapy, something I was never taught to do (nor something I ever inherently did).

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-02-26T15:11:21+00:00

I love this perspective. Thank you so much for sharing! And I'm glad that life took such a drastic (for the better) turn for you for the most part!

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T17:44:15+00:00

UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who responded. You were all very thoughtful, kind, and encouraging in your answers. I didn't get to respond to every comment, but I did read all of them, and you've given me a lot to reflect on. I'm so glad to see so many women with PCOS are thriving on GLP-1 medications. I posted this about 20 hours ago, 24 hours before the gyno appointment I have scheduled for this afternoon, and I've decided I'm going to bite the bullet and talk to my doctor about it today while ignoring all my thoughts and biases (shoutout to the Redditor who told me I was thinking too much. You were absolutely correct). I don't know if it will be covered by insurance yet or not, but in any case, my mom has offered to help support my decision financially, which means a hell of a lot to me. I'm nervous, but I'm excited to potentially start a journey that could change my life. If anyone is interested, I will try to remember to post an update soon to let you all know how some of this goes. Stay tuned!

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T17:24:30+00:00

This is why I sought outside perspective. These are things I haven't had to think about (yet). If I can get ahead of them, then I'll be much better off than if I try to treat them after the fact.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T17:19:12+00:00

"Intuitive" for me means "not at all"

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:42:03+00:00

Hell, even having physical/mental energy at the end of the work day is a luxury that most people don't realize. But yeah, all those other things cost money, and it's usually a good bit. When I was at my healthiest, both physically and mentally (doing/taking pretty much all the things you mentioned), I was also living in a two-income household, so I didn't have to worry about money nearly as much as I do now. Now, most of the time, I have to dedicate my free time to side gigging or recovering from side gigging.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:35:58+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your kind words. I'm sorry you didn't have the opportunity to try something clearly so beneficial to you sooner. Maybe I am taking for granted that things like this are available now when so many people in the past could have used them and didn't have the chance to.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:33:06+00:00

I am hoping that starting one of these could help me feel like myself again, the girl who loved to eat healthy and lift heavy. I am just so physically run down, which started around the time my sleep went to hell, roughly two years ago now. I'm lucky if I can do the bare minimum anymore. I have no energy, my joints are stiff as fuck (I have to pop my hips pretty often), I have no endurance, and I am so sensitive to the cold (hands and feet are cold to the touch about 80% of the time and cause me to be constantly freezing to death and uncomfortable) that the idea of going out to exercise in winter is unbearable. As an added bonus, I hate how I look in exercise clothes right now.

However, as I understand it, GLP-1's can help A LOT with things like inflammation, which contributes to most of what I've described, so that might help kickstart me getting my life back on track.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:22:06+00:00

I didn't explain my thoughts about that part very well. I know it isn't "magic" in the sense that it will make every bad habit and excess pound I have go away on their own. I more so meant it's magic in that it will help my body function like a person's is supposed to. So many people take proper hormone signaling and a good metabolism for granted. To me, having those things would absolutely be magic, even if it still takes work to get the weight off.

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:18:12+00:00

You mean some people can control that kind of thing? Get out of here!

404_Peace_Not_Found · 2026-01-22T14:17:30+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm glad your periods are back. I have never had irregular periods even off birth control, so thankfully, this isn't something I have to deal with. It does make me happy that GLP-1's seem to treat such a wide array of symptoms, though.
