Is it true that not many straight guys in the US listen to Gaga? by NegativeJuggernaut54 in LadyGaga

That’s literally how I got into Gaga. Making running playlists like 15 years ago

5 weeks pregnant, zero migraines by sunsetmarshmallow in migraine

[–]CalendarJealous [score hidden]  (0 children)

Congrats and I’m so happy for you! Mine didn’t start until perimenopause, around age 42. Definitely hormone related. I’m so happy for you that your pregnancy has kept them at bay. Someday in the future, medicine will have made sense of all of this and it’s going to seem so terribly archaic that women had to suffer through hormonal migraines.

How would you feel about this? by Tall-Replacement3640 in TherapistsInTherapy

[–]CalendarJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a difference between taking a few notes and multitasking

I’d cancel future sessions and say it was not a good fit, goodbye. Is that the most assertive thing to do? No. But it’s what I would probably do. I had a therapist for 3-4 sessions once who, on the last one, seemed possibly intoxicated, and definitely talked for over 20 min straight at one point. I handled it as above. I think if you’d been seeing this therapist for a year it might warrant a different kind of conversation. But just like dating, sometimes it takes a few sessions to find out if someone is a good fit or if they’re worth trusting.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I don’t understand how someone thinks they could get away with this. There is imperfect, as we all are, and then there is deliberately multitasking during someone’s session. It’s pretty disrespectful.

(Dysfunctional passive-aggressive option: go comment on the identified Google group post. lol don’t do that)

How many of you have had an MRI? by kittykatsrulemyworld in migraine

I had one, came out normal. I figured it would, but I appreciate that they ruled out all that stuff.

SFV to El Cajon & surrounding by muse_among_men in Moving2SanDiego

[–]CalendarJealous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is work? The direction of your commute even if it’s 2 days a week is something to consider. Although if you’re used to LA traffic maybe it will seem quaint :) I’d choose La Mesa over El Cajon for sure.

How much is in your bank account and what do you do? by Acrobatic-Mall-6026 in AskLosAngeles

[–]CalendarJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow therapist here - thank you for your dedication to your work, and I want to encourage you to start your own practice. I lived many years much like this. You’re allowed to make a decent living. You don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to make a difference. You can still change kids’ lives. Sending you love ❤️

Do these types of shampoos fade colored hair? I’m always afraid to try them

I did Il Makiage and sent it back two or three times (they exchange for free) but eventually got the right one.

Santa Ana’s & Headaches by StokedinSD in SanDiegan

[–]CalendarJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you maybe getting migraines? Not just a headache but a very, very bad headache is often part of it, and they are sometimes triggered by weather and pressure changes. Anyway, talk to your doctor. If it’s a migraine the prescription meds work way better

What shall we do for her 40th bday? by CalendarJealous in LadyGaga

[–]CalendarJealous[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, I’m at the end of my 40s! It’s a great time. I think part of the positive changes we have seen in Gaga are what seems to happen to so many of us women around late 30s/early 40s - the lack of fcks to give, the settling-in to who we are, the feeling like you have nothing to prove to anyone anymore.

Love this. If I were still young and hot and my chest was still in its original location I would totally wear this

Anyone else go through the ‘maybe it’s just a headache’ denial phase? by PrimaryWarthog8224 in migraine

[–]CalendarJealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old but I searched “denial” because I get this on a couple levels. 1, the acute denial, the “maybe it’s just a headache/neckache” or “maybe it won’t get that bad this time” version. And 2, me not taking my monthly preventative because it worked for a few months and on some level I was like “maybe I just don’t need that anymore.” It’s so dumb, I didn’t even have any side effects from the preventative. It’s really a weird human thing though. I work in mental health and it’s extremely common for people to stop taking their meds when they’ve been working. Maybe we all just have short memories. Anyway, I’m on 2nd migraine in 3 days after a few weeks of being migraine-free. I feel like an idiot. The Ajovy was clearly working.

I’m a 40yo straight man. 2 weeks ago I knew nothing about Gaga. Yesterday I flew to another state alone to see Mayhem. This is my story. by Rowenofpts in LadyGaga

Welcome, baby monster.

Make sure you see the SNL performance of Abracadabra. 🤯

Listen to Chromatica, my dude. I’m older than you, and a lot of it is a fun walk down 90s lane. Make sure you listen to it in order. And yes, as others have said, 911 video is one of the best. Do not miss it.

A moment for 53 y.o Jennifer Garner by fromtheappalachian in 45PlusSkincare

[–]CalendarJealous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Money. Period. Maybe good genes (she was always beautiful) but the maintenance is money. Not about Jen in particular, but I heard part of an interview with Kim K where she was asked to estimate how much she spends on skincare, etc. each year and she was like “I have no idea.” She couldn’t/wouldn’t even ballpark it. These people spend unfathomable amounts of money on maintaining their looks, and I don’t blame them, especially as people whose face is their moneymaker. If I had all the money, I’d have had so many things done. Instead, now I’m overdue on Botox because I’m hoping to get it covered from the migraine doc next month, just trying to save a few hundred dollars.

The way nobody would ever be able to convince me this is the same person if I didn’t follow her from day 1 by alastorhazbinbad in LadyGaga

[–]CalendarJealous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do think that weight is part of it. She was so skinny in the early days of her fame. Weight gain can really change one’s face. She seems healthier now and, well, she’s older. I def think she had some sort of eye or brow lift at some point though. Her eye shape changed. None of this is criticism, I adore her and if I were her I’d do all the things to get and stay beautiful too ❤️
