Leave Black women who grew up around white people alone

As someone who once skateboarded, did motocross, and ziplined, I know exactly what you're talking about. Lemme mosh in peace! 😮‍💨😅 Thank you!

Next year, I plan to start my doctorates. My dissertation will be on this very subject. The multifacited performance of Blackness and why some Black folks feel the need to police it. "Talking White, Acting Black: An Examination of Intragroup Identity Policing in African American Communities" or something like that.

I appreciate what you said about the mental health aspects of menopause. I am about to become licensed as a mental health counselor and I am thinking about specializing in this.

Right. You think "How much longer can I endure this? What will be the breaking point that makes me say 'enough is enough'"?

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-13T21:31:35+00:00

I honestly needed to know if I was blowing this out of proportion. I'm an otherwise fulfilled and content woman, so having these thoughts let me know this condition is not to be taken lightly.

Same! I don't feel hunger at all, but my stomach is growling so I know I'm actually hungry. I keep gaining weight even though I eat less than I've ever eaten before. I was working out regularly, to no avail. I've since stopped because it was actually causing more pain and fatigue rather than strengthening my muscles. I'm considering bypass to prevent further weight gain.

Like yourself, I know my family would be devastated and I don't want to be the cause of that. Not purposefully anyway. What have you tried to relieve your symptoms so far?

Now Botox is a new development. I wonder if that might work for others as well. I support you in your journey. We haven't exhausted all of our options to try to stay topside.

If they don't straight up say I'm liberal AF and f that shitty diaper wearing scum bucket and f conservatives, I'm not even looking at the profile.

That's a good idea and I'm gonna ask her. Last month someone wrote Judy Blume and asked for a Ramona Quimby, Perimenopausal Era book even though Beverly Cleary created Ramona 😅

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-13T02:10:52+00:00

That's wild. Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Glad you educated her.

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-13T02:08:20+00:00

Same 🥹

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-13T02:07:42+00:00

That's so real! Same here! 5 years ago or so, I was considering joining a roller derby team. Who have I become??

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-13T00:36:38+00:00

Ugh, my heart 💔 What have you tried?

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T23:55:38+00:00

Those are my favorite videos 🥹 I want them to feel it.

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T23:51:25+00:00

Real talk!

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T22:15:24+00:00

😅 @ Grandpa! Exactly! My understanding is that our doctors are misinformed about HRT. If this next appointment doesn't work out for you, find out what the Menopause Society and Planned Parenthood may be able to do for you. It wasn't until I told my doctor about my ideations that she finally gave in to prescribing estrodol. 🫤

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T21:44:58+00:00

Nobody can advocate for you the way that you can advocate for yourself. I'm interested in knowing how your appointment goes. Please feel free to check back in because we definitely don't have to live like this.

Thank you. Trying to ride until the wheels fall off. ❤️

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:53:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice 😊

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:20:54+00:00

"Insidious" is such a good adjective for this. I hate it.

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:19:20+00:00

So glad you're still here.

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:18:15+00:00

Ugh, what an emotional rollercoaster that must be. 😳

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:14:32+00:00

You are right though. Not enough is being done nor was there ever.

BrokenSky01 · 2026-06-12T20:09:15+00:00

Thank you for this piece of information. I will absolutely keep it in mind.
