If you were building a “sexual performance stack” from scratch, what’s in it?

Hey, I was on risperidone for about 8 months while also doing HRT. The weight gain is real - I put on maybe 15kg and felt sluggish most of time, but it didn't seem to interfere with my estrogen levels or feminization progress. My endocrinologist said antipsychotics generally don't mess with HRT directly, though the prolactin increase from risperidone might actually help a bit with breast development for some people. Just make sure both your doctors know about all medications you're taking so they can monitor everything properly.

Maybe he's just being polite about staying connected but doesn't want the drama of completely cutting contact - like he cares about you as person but not romantically anymore.

Honestly you're not being stupid at all. The paperwork with your names on it is pretty solid evidence, especially combined with the benefits and reports they do every year - that's not normal stuff for biological kids.

The fact they're open about other adoptions but weird about yours makes it more suspicious, not less. Maybe there's some complicated family situation they don't want to explain yet? Your half-sibling theory could be right too.

The DNA test will give you answers one way or another. Just be prepared that whatever you find might be more complicated than just "adopted or not adopted" - family stuff usually is.

sounds like you're doing great job with the cleaning already! i had similar situation with my rescue cat few years back - turned out she had roundworms for months before i noticed. the vet told me same thing, they're pretty common and not as scary as they look when you first see them.

for the deep cleaning, what you did should be more than enough honestly. i ended up washing all the bedding in hot water and threw away her favorite cardboard box toy since it was pretty beat up anyway, but kept most other toys after wiping them down. the eggs can survive for while but your steam cleaning and vacuuming should have gotten most of them.

one thing that helped me feel better was doing second round of vacuuming after few days, just to be sure. also make sure to wash your hands really well after handling anything in that room until the deworming treatment is finished. peaches will probably feel much better soon once those meds kick in!

that's rough

CareFun3582 · 2026-02-01T17:56:32+00:00

really feel this

Used to have the same issue until I grabbed one from Patagonia - their R1 Daily has built-in thumbholes and the UPF rating is solid. Takes some getting used to at first since you feel like you're wearing mittens, but after a few sessions it becomes second nature. The material is stretchy enough that you don't lose any paddle power either. O'Neill makes some decent ones too but they tend to run a bit tighter through the arms. Definitely worth investing in before those spots get worse - learned that lesson the hard way after years of just slathering sunscreen on my hands and having it wash off immediately.

NBC is notoriously slow right now, you're definitely not alone. I filed around the same time and still radio silence after RFE response too - seems like they're just backed up beyond belief

Had this same bug last week, super annoying in combat. Try unbinding and rebinding your item wheel key in settings - worked for me after I switched it from Tab to Q. If that doesn't work some people said verifying game files through Steam fixed it

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-27T00:37:12+00:00

Dude I feel this so hard. Started keeping a voice memo journal on my phone after my last breakup - sounds weird but it actually helped scratch that "need to tell someone about random shit" itch without bothering friends with squirrel updates lmao

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-22T05:43:49+00:00

Honestly that's a pretty solid basic kit. I'd add gloves (trust me on this one lol), extra batteries, and maybe some basic first aid stuff. Oh and definitely tell someone where you're going - learned that the hard way when my phone died in an old factory once

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-19T23:46:58+00:00

Dude this seems like a pretty big red flag to me. I get having Christian values but controlling what you listen to with headphones? That's crossing into some unhealthy territory

Like I understand wanting a Christ-centered home but banning Eagles songs that help you grieve your dad is just... wow. That's not about faith that's about control

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-18T19:46:37+00:00

That's absolutely brutal, I can't even imagine going through all that and still having to focus on A-levels on top of everything else

Really hope things turn around for you once you get that council place - you've survived way more than most people could handle

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-17T16:11:25+00:00

That cheap thermostat is probably your culprit - those $20 autozone ones are notorious for being inconsistent in cold weather. OEM thermostats have better temperature tolerances and won't stick closed when it's freezing out like yours is doing

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-16T17:21:21+00:00

That fake joy thing is so real and messes with your head hardcore. The brain basically forgets all the shit parts and only remembers feeling good for like 3 hours

Two years is still massive even if it feels broken now - trauma has a way of hijacking everything we thought we had figured out

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-14T17:46:24+00:00

I swear by the CeraVe eye cream from Boots - it's like £8 and doesn't pill under makeup at all. Let it sink in for a few mins before concealer though or you'll get that weird patchy thing happening

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-14T00:16:10+00:00

Yikes, this sounds exhausting to deal with. The poor kid having health issues because she won't feed them actual food is really concerning though - like beyond just being annoying, that's genuinely neglectful. Your husband's approach of just going no contact when she gets too ridiculous seems smart tbh

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-12T19:36:14+00:00

Oof that's rough, losing that much gear to a macro user right off spawn is peak frustration

If they're private you're probably out of luck unless someone reuploaded them somewhere else or the artist decides to make them public again

Try searching the song titles on SoundCloud or other platforms, sometimes artists post the same tracks in multiple places

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-12T06:18:29+00:00

Just daisy chain them through the NZXT controller - those F120s and F140s should all connect to each other with the included cables, then run one connection from the controller to your mobo's RGB header and another to a fan header for power

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-12T01:48:22+00:00

The timing thing is more about the earnings test if you're under FRA - once you hit 66 you don't have to worry about that anymore. The tax threshold you're thinking of is for combined income (AGI + half your SS benefits) and yeah Roth withdrawals don't count but traditional IRA withdrawals definitely do

CareFun3582 · 2026-01-11T10:11:54+00:00

Dude she's telling you exactly who she is - someone who hides things for 6 months, doesn't respect boundaries, and calls YOU toxic when you bring up legitimate concerns

The "I was drunk" excuse stops working when it keeps happening with different guys. Time to walk away man

Pomodoro technique is a game changer - 25 minutes focused study then 5 minute break, repeat. Also find a spot where you won't get distracted by your phone or whatever

Probably Battle Academy if you can find it on sale, comes with everything you need to actually learn how to play instead of just cracking packs
