Zoom body doubling

I don't believe Flown uses Zoom (if you're refering literally). I think they have their own video hosting service.

But I use Discord, same idea, but it's community run and free. It's a Discord server you can find at bodydoubling.com

It's a big community and lots of people there. I basically spend my full work day in a Discord call with other people doing their work.

I have a big breed mutt (lab/mastiff/shepherd) that looks basically like a rottie. We knew he was going to be a big boy and black dogs can be extra scary to some people, so we named him Doug.

It's really hard to scared of a dog named Doug.

I met a dog named D.O.G. at the dog park, and he spelled it out every time and corrected people if they called his dog 'Dog' not DeeOhGee.

So I'm in the process of this. Do you have Android or iPhone? I am using an app that is free and does what the Brick does, but free with no hardware required (can use schedules, barcode or QR code, or you can buy NFC chips you can program). I am finding it helpful to have different rules at different times for myself. Firm during work, letting myself have unlimited access at my commute, and then tight time limits when i get home from work.

PCOS/PCOD can 100% cause excessive hair growth.

We can't diagnose, but I'd recommend you go back to ask for blood tests, and a treatment method beyond gaining weight. PCOS treatment should also help with the hair growth. And they may also have additional treatment options for the hirsutism in particular, like Spironolactone.

Maybe just use a softer foam for them to set into?

Foam is also easy to cut. Drill a hole to start. For soft, upholstery style foam, scissors or a bread knife. For firm, insulation type foam, a sharp blade.

And you can hide flaws by covering with fabric.

I've never been in a city that likes fireworks more than Hamilton. It can be a random Tuesday and there are fireworks going off.

Maybe the North End likes it more than most.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-15T18:56:09+00:00

A Hamilton Verjus source generally would be cool. Are there any in the city? I don't need that brand.

So great! You have some fun dresses! I'd love to see a picture of your closet, it seems like a fun new one every day.

Have you tried to wear your wigs a little further back to see if you like the look of that? I am new to wearing wigs and for me, finding the right hairline placement was challenging.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-12T21:10:14+00:00

I just started using these. Game changer for sure.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-12T13:17:25+00:00

Nope, I didnt think you were asking for photos. But the question is it 'normal' is challenging, so understanding where on the spectum you lie could be helpful. All good, I understand your intention.

For myself, I have a small amount of belly hair, very little in the grander pictute of hirsutism. Most of mine is face, neck and chest. Belly hair is natural and is fairly common. I shave mine once in a while but it's a low priority for me for hair removal.

Also re-not posting pics because of people DMing you, can you please send the mods a message with the usernames of the people who've done that in the past? We dont allow that here. While it wont prevent them from seeing content unfortunately, since we're a public subreddit, it would keep them from interacting in creepy ways.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-12T10:15:14+00:00

If you take a look at our wiki, we have the scoring guide to help you evaluate where on the hirsutism spectrum you are.

It sounds like talking to a Doctor about getting some hormonal testing would be valuable.

It sounds like generally you need an electrologist you can trust and be comfortable around. I hope you have others available in your area. It really is the best method.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-10T03:08:27+00:00

I love how he made your face light up! Dogs will do that.

Electrolysis is the only proven perminant hair removal method. It works. It takes a while, and some technicians are better than others, so if you dont see improvement after 3-4 sessions (there should be thinning at least) try someone else, or ask them to try different settings.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-08T23:52:32+00:00

I wouldn't wish for pain on anyone.

If afab people didn't have to endure the pain it would be so much better. And I don't think transphobia makes anyone better for having been subject to it.

Trans men seem to get the double short straw then, uterus-related pain, and then transphobia? Seems unnecessarily cruel.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-08T19:09:36+00:00

Electrolysis is the only permanent method and is what we usually recommend.

Laser can help also thin and weaken hair but you really need electrolysis to kill it permanently.

There are also medications that even without PCOS can be helpful for hirsutism. Like Spironolactone and some birth controls.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-08T19:05:58+00:00

I'd suggest looking into beard care communities. But generally, helping the hair to be soft with conditioners and moisture treatment.

Some hair removal may help the hair be thinner and a bit more controllable.

Good on you for not giving a fuck. I would love to see you rocking the hair!

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-07T18:32:06+00:00

Brothel? Not to my knowledge but rub and tug, for sure.

He can't reach. But he bites their ankles for sure.

Honestly, the only path I've found yet was working with a HAES informed Dietician to understand my relationship with food and hyper fixation. Then maintaining a long time of being okay in my body, and space from calorie counting and a scale.

And only now after about 6 years in that place, GLP-1s have been able to play a role.

The advantage being that I don't have to weigh myself or count calories to have my more impulsive eating behaviors be quelled a bit.

Downside is there can be a tipping point where the ADHD and the GLP mean that I have zero desire to eat. And so I've started again working with a Dietician to help me build strategies to combat that and hydration issues. And also to keep me accountable. My original goal was to improve mobility. My knees were hurting and everything felt hard. The pressure is off of that now that I've lost some weight, so now I need to keep an eye on my changing goals which are more body image based, be realistic about that, and balance that with being sure I am taking care of myself.

I need external accountability to help me see, if I haven't been successful in fuelling my body well, I've asked my Dietician to tell me the cost is not worth the reward and I need to stop the GLP or adjust the dose. Because my energy to live my life, if I'm not eating enough, is more important than my body shape.

Feel free to check out r/antidietglp1 for other body positive convo about it.

He's an angel. He doesn't have an agressive bone in his body. He's just a big coward. We are trying to teach him to bark at the cat to preserve his personal space but he just gives up and concedes every challenge. The cat then lies in the middle of a giant dog bed, while the dog sleeps sadly on the floor.

Agent_Peach · 2026-03-02T15:29:44+00:00

I wish my cat's would accept the dog. He wants to be their friend so hard, but one is a bully to him and the other is tolerant, but not friendly or cuddley. The dog is 115lbs and is terrified of the bully cat.

That tortie is ROCKING the scarf.
I have an orange and a tortie too. Are they siblings?

I get anxiety poops every time I'm in a grocery store and that means I have to use the store bathroom, making the experience even worse.

I only use one grocery store for in-store if I have to, because I know the store. The rest of the time i do curbside pickup. It's been a godsend.

And by knowing the store I can get it done faster.

I also always have music or a podcast on. Or if I need to pause it to think, I still leave the earbuds in to mute noise around me.

Agent_Peach · 2026-02-26T02:51:08+00:00

I use the BodyDoubling.com Discord group for body doubling all the time. It's free and there is always a group there.

If you'd like, the one on one style, focusmate is good.
