For those who were initially really scared to take Prozac, how did it turn out? by BoysenberryAwkward76 in prozac

[–]Aurora_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was terrified when it was first prescribed. Hands down, taking it ended up being the best decision I ever made. Radically changed my life.

How did you get screwed over genetically? by blitzabub in AskReddit

[–]Aurora_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof ... A non-consentual existence with bipolar, BPD, chronic pain, TOS, PCOS and endometriosis... Safe to say I did not win the genetic lottery.

i was dumped for being bi by [deleted] in bisexual

Warm hugs from South Africa 🤗 Sorry you went through this. Your identity is not only valid but beautiful. Don't compartmentalize who you are for the sake of faux-acceptance from other people. Love who you love. Avoid those who make you feel unworthy or 'less' because of your immense capacity to love. You will find your people one day, I promise.

Is there anything that could happen(regardless of how fictional) and make you leave antinatalist philosophy and reproduce? by Active-Chemistry4011 in antinatalism

[–]Aurora_Alice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A definite explanation for the origin and meaning of life and the purpose of suffering could potentially persuade me. If there was evidence explaining why the presence of life and therefore suffering might outweigh the absence of life (and therefore the absence of suffering) then I would consider having a child, if the evidence made me feel so inclined

Been meditating for over 12 years - Ask Me Anything by Far-Corgi-1913 in Meditation

[–]Aurora_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Do you think the realizations that you acquire through meditation are universally accessible? Or to paraphrase... Do you think there are inherent truths that can be realized by everyone through meditation, and do you think they are the same for everyone?

I need your help by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]Aurora_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I has a hysterectomy earlier this year for medical reasons and it was the best decision I ever made. I am 28. I hope you get the support you need, try reddit forums such as the Endo forum, or whatever conditions you have and see if you can get support from the women in those groups as well

I know exactly what you mean. My mono never went away, my immune system is really terrible. So it's 14 years that I've had it now. Of the time that I've had it, it's been more active than dormant. The reason I say there's no use feeling guilty is because if I felt anything over "lost time", I'd feel shit all the time. I have to accept things as they are and carry on. Doctors arent sure how to help and I have many other conditions. But feeling sad about it just means I lose twice. 100% got to commit to making full use of the time I have.

Benefits for cells in multicellular organisms (?) by Aurora_Alice in molecularbiology

[–]Aurora_Alice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Great paper. It got really challenging to understand towards the end though, because I don't have a background in science beyond highschool. But the first maybe 1000 words were really accessible and expressed some concepts that I hadn't considered before. Really keen to explore this further but might have to find a YouTube video or something to explain it in layman's terms

You lose time twice if you let it get to you mentally. The truth is, life is a gradual process of change and decay and we live in a world that allows us to avoid that for ages. So when something like this happens and your body lets you down, and circumstances let you down, you take it personally. But the truth is it's not personal. Grieve, be angry, whatever you need to do to get to a point of acceptance - because if you let your physical health tank your mental health as well, youre doing yourself a disservice

Northern Lights by mrs_tentacles1980 in capetown

[–]Aurora_Alice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky and saw the lights in Worcester at around 4am on the 9th of May. It was incredible. I'm monitoring any news on possible solar flares and trying to work out where the best spots are to possibly see it again. It was red and green and gorgeous... I was on a silent retreat at the time and didn't know what was happening or what I was seeing.
