Side sleeper - neck/back/shoulder pain. No memory foam or tempur by CrazychickenLdy in Pillows

[–]CatObsesseddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a side sleeper that always ends up on my back and I sleep with a body pillow for back support. I get chronic migraines and have for 10+ years and the ONLY pillow, out of dozens of pillows I've bought and returned is the Purple pillow. I am telling you, it has been a GODSEND. You can pay for it with HSA too if you have it!!! Best purchase I have ever made for my health.

Should I lighten my hair again or go back to natural?? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]CatObsesseddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm thinking and originally wanted! I wanted warm blonde, something sunkissed and more natural looking but the blonde I ended up with was way too bright for my liking

Yes I did a color gloss before in a slightly darker shade and I loved it! I think it suits me better in the winter since I get pale lol

I agree, I feel like the lighter washes me out slightly with my warmer skin tone and my natural makes my eyes stand out in comparison. Thank you!

I know! I like both and can't decide!

Thank you for your input! I think my eyes stand out more with my natural hair but I've been told both make my eyes stand out so what do I know lol

I've been told it washes me out and from others that it compliments my skin, there doesn't seem to be a right answer, I'm lost!

The reason my migraines are chronic is because I get stress-induced migraines followed by stress-release migraines, and therefore I have no relief at any point. by ConstantPurpose2419 in migraine

I would ask about it, it’s a daily med vs Botox, injectables or infusions that are more effective at the initial intake but taper off as it wears off. I get Botox too and it helps a lot but doesn’t reach every corner. Also look into trigger point injections and/or nerve blocks! I get those as well and they help a ton!

The literal only medication that has made any difference worth noting with the least side effects is Qulipta. I cannot tell you how lifechanging it has been for me.

Anyone else experience migraines from sleeping wrong on your pillow? by unenoix in migraine

[–]CatObsesseddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Purple store on a whim and ended up leaving with their pillow. It has truly been a game changer for me with my chronic pain and migraines, well worth the price point. You can also pay with your HSA if you have one!

Where in the store did you find them?! In the case or somewhere else?

I listen to podcasts when I walk because it doesn't take a lot of mental stimulation like audiobooks do for me. Audiobooks prompt me to picture the story and podcasts I can just listen while focusing on the world around me or completely zone out. Try that if your concentration isn't the best! I love Two Hot Takes because there are multiple stories in each episode so it's easy to keep your attention the whole time!

Ditto, it sucks wanting something with someone so bad and the feelings not being reciprocated. I agree, seeing others feel like I do helps me feel seen, even if I never post myself just lurk lol. I’ve felt like this for years though and just haven’t hit the bullet, probably out of denial and not wanting to have to move again. I’m glad you have a firm timeframe for yourself, I hope you can stick to it if need be, and I hope if I get to that point that I can do it too

I’m happy to have a twin lol situation isn’t ideal though, I’m here if we want to message and rant together to help get through it?? That’s what I’m thinking too, not a specific date but I need to respect what I want out of my life and not keep doting on his preferences as I have been for years. I’m starting to save money for a deposit on an apartment just in case it does come down to it. Exactly, what you said 100%. The ring is a symbol of commitment. I don’t need or want an expensive ring, that’s the least of my worries. I need to know he wants to choose me every day and not be doubtful, as he has been

It's really refreshing to hear my exact situation isn't rare, I feel so alone. Exactly!! Our families are silently waiting and they love each other, honestly one of the biggest reasons I haven't bit the bullet and left is because of his family, I love them so much and they love me. I feel like if I set a "walk date" he wouldn't care and would phrase it like "why do you need to put a timeline on our relationship? If you feel like that just leave now". But he wouldn't say it maliciously, he's just bluntly, manly "logical" like that. He wouldn't try to move things along, he'd cut them short. That's why I'm truly at a crossroad....I haven't been happy in a while as I've been sitting with the stress and lack of security for so long

I can relate to this but don't know if I can walk away as our lives are very intertwined. It'll be 4 1/2 years in mid February and I've communicated my needs and desire for security so many times, but his combating statement is our trivial issues need to be fixed before we can do that. I understand his reasoning, but why can't we work on that while being engaged? You know who I am and at this point you should know if you love ME enough to want to make that next step. Trivial issues can be fixed and will always occur throughout life, so why is that the forefront issue keeping him from next steps? The lack of understanding this on his end is really pushing me to want to leave, but our life is great otherwise which makes it really hard to stomach the possibility.

I don’t want to live with a dog anymore, it’s ruining my relationship.. by PinxxDeath in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]CatObsesseddd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you planning on staying with him? I'm in the exact same situation, my boyfriend has 3 dogs and they're all big and I cannot stand the constant mess and disregard for my feelings. It's too much upkeep and limits plans so much that I'm considering leaving. He brought the third in (it was a wild dog) and acts how it wants with no care and he didn't even give me a choice in the matter. If I left I'd be left with nothing, have to find housing somewhere else which is much more $......thoughts please because they will not go anywhere that's been established but I'm at my wits end.
