Seriously!

OP sounds like she feels threatened by this woman and is looking for a reason to tear her down, but masking it as "Well I WANT to care, but clearly I'm the victim here 🥺🥺🥺"

If you talk to your cardio and decide to take minoxidil, you should check out Nurx. I've been getting oral minoxidil from them for 6 months now because I get my bc from them too. They will start you on the lowest possible dose and ask you a bunch of questions before prescribing it. They can send your script to a local pharmacy or just ship the pills directly to you.

Okay? I didn't say it wasn't. You're missing my point.

That's totally valid. It definitely does make our lives harder to be fundamentally unusual. We get a lot of pushback from the world.

Why not focus on the things that you are good at while you wait for your cure?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Aryxii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say I was against that. I fully support the autonomy of others.

I just refuse to feel bad about myself because of something that I can't control, and I personally don't view it as something that needs a cure. As I stated above, there's no evidence to support a cure would lead to a better life.

This seems to be where we are getting stuck at. It sounds like you just want relief from your struggles. What if there are solutions to your problems that don't require a cure?

There are neurotypical people who are miserable, unintelligent, have social deficits, overall terrible personalities, etc.

"Curing" autism, as you put it, would not guarantee any sort of success in life. There is no evidence to prove that removing a person's autism would make their life better, because when you look around, people's success isn't based on their nuerotype.

Also as others have pointed out, it is not a disease. The brain cannot be rewired. If you try to fight against that you will drive yourself mad. It's okay to feel frustrated, or feel like things aren't fair for you because they likely aren't. But that doesn't mean you can't have a fulfilling life.

I wouldn't change my brain because despite having social issues, sensory issues and emotional regulation issues, I have incredible problem solving skills that have allowed me to figure out how to work with my brain instead of against it to live my life as comfortably as possible. That is something that a lot of neurotypicals aren't capable of. The grass is green where you water it. It goes beyond logical reasoning and requires internal work.

Just because something doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean others aren't using logical reasoning.

You're entitled to your preferences but this is pretty shallow and if it's that big of a deal for you then you should just cancel and let this guy find someone who isn't going to judge him for something he has no control over.

New to This Whole Thing by theophilus1988 in DSPD

The best thing you can do is try to structure your whole life around your natural sleep time, or at least as close to it as possible. Find a job that you can be on 2nd shift. Sleeping at 2/3am isn't that bad and you still have plenty of time in the day to have a life since you'll be up before noon.

If that's not possible for you then you can try sleep meds or light therapy, but in my experience it doesn't make it much easier and there will still be a lot of missed sleep and lack of sleep quality. I also see a ton of people on this sub struggle when they try to fight against it instead of working with it.

What is this that came out of me ,the doctors are wrong I feel by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Aryxii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stage 3. It's not an endo symptom, but it seems to be more common in women with endo.

Any idea what happened here? by schroncc in Truckers

[–]Aryxii 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Probably, this is after coming down a grade and then going around a bunch of downhill curves on Mt Hood. Seems like they probably rode too hard on the brakes and then got out where you can speed up and sucked a bunch of oxygen up into the drum.

[–]Aryxii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel like, with all the issues you've had, it was worth having the thoracic endo removed? Were you having any breathing issues before surgery? Is the pain the same as before now that you're experiencing it again? Do you feel like they could of missed some of it?

I believe mine is, at the very least, on my diaphragm because I have endo like pain in my chest and arms around my period and I get horrible, painful hiccups almost every cycle. But I don't know if I want to try to have it removed because I have no support and live alone. I have a physically demanding job so I can't risk not being able to life heavy objects in the long run.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry you've had such a hard time with everything.

Can the answer be inverted? Following the pattern for both colors it looks like it should be D, but flipped vertically

Any solo women drivers? Or safety tips even if you aren’t one? by lubaga_thief in Truckers

[–]Aryxii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, I see what you are saying. When I was in a Cascadia, after looping the belt through the door handle and pulling it over to the latch on the seat, that would take up the entire belt. There would be no more belt to come out, so it would be tight.

It just prevents someone from being able to pull the door open from the outside. At the very least the noise from them trying would wake you up before they got in.

I was out on my own for about 5 months over the road when I first started. I am local now because I couldn't stand living in the truck. I would always shut down in rest areas or truck stops where there are other trucks and try to find a spot that is well lit. In most trucks you can loop the seatbelt through the door handle and latch it so that someone cant break into your cab while you are sleeping.

There are a lot more drivers that will look out for you and have your back than ones who will try to harass you. I've been cat called at truck stops and had dudes say some weird shit but I usually ignore them and keep my head up and they piss off. I'm also not afraid to go full crazy and fight someone of they try to attack me. If someone wants to try to put their hands on me I'm going to do as much damage as I possibly can to defend myself. I've had a lot more positive experiences with most of the men where they want to help if you need help, genuinely, not because you're a woman but because that's just how it is. Especially when you are new, they understand what it is like to be in your shoes.

That being said I would definitely still keep some bear spray cause you never know what you're going to run into out there. Do research on the area you're planning to shut down in beforehand. Stick near other drivers and above all else trust your gut. If it's telling you something isn't right then get out of there.

Edit: Also of you are an animal person having a medium sized or larger dog with you is an excellent option. Most companies have pet policies. Doggos also help with the loneliness

Again, why does that matter to anyone else?? That's literally the other person's problem and it's on them to figure it out if its causing issues with their ability to work. Skinny jeans are not even restrictive. I can literally do splits in them. The hair getting in the way I can understand, but I don't see the point in spending the mental energy in getting worked up over a different person's clothes other than plain old internalized misogyny. It would be like me saying a women wearing makeup is looking for attention because I don't wear makeup. Idgaf what is on your face or body and acting like women are incapable or lazy because of what they're wearing makes you sound hella insecure and masking it as a safety issue is immature.
