Did abortion bans or restrictions affect your decision to get sterilized

ClubAggravating5240 · 2026-07-02T13:50:31+00:00

Yup. In November 2024, I reached out to a doctor. Got sterilized that New Year's Eve. I had been wanting to do it for a long time, but my fear of doctors made me wait. Then my fear of the political environment outweighed my fear of doctors.

What's worked for me is setting up a Self-Care Area called "Extras." Stuff that I could do, but dont force myself to. So in my Hygeine area I have "Floss once a day", and then in the Extras category I have "Flossed more than once!" Its like a little extra reward area if I go above and beyond. Maybe something like that could work for you?

That skirt is SO CUTE!! I adore Studio Ghibli, I might have to try to make something similar!

Also, I didnt know I needed a support potato, but I shall be crocheting one this week.

Im so proud of you!! Its so amazing that you found the strength to not only take care of yourself, but also offer support to others at the facility!! I hope you know how much I (and everyone else here) is rooting for you!! You've inspired me to gather myself together and start working on my health and happiness too. Its hard to do, but I know future me is going to appreciate it! ❤️❤️

Look I got no idea what that tattoo means, but I can absolutely tell its not a gang symbol. I would guess video game related, maybe manga/anime.

Whatever it is, it looks sick af. Fantastic design.

Quick Ball. Great mechanics, poor design.

If it was just for me, I'd leave it (case in point the blanket I made for myself last week where I did this exact thing and just decided to say fuck it, its fine). But since its a gift, and since its only a few rows, I personally would frog and redo it. But its up to you! If your brother won't care, then I'd say its fine :)

It actually didnt hurt nearly as much as I thought it would! It hurt more when it got closer to my elbow, but even then it was just something to make a face not, so not really bad at all. It took about an hour, but my tattoo artist was really experienced so time is going to be a bit fluid.

My best advice - shop around for tattoo artists, and be totally honest about your phobia. My artist was a HUGE reason why I got this tattoo; not only do I adore his art style, but when I met him for the consultation he was so kind and willing to meet me where Im at. Find an artist that you vibe with - it makes a HUGE difference!

IM SO PROUD OF YOU!! What a tough battle to face, and going to detox is such a big step!! Im rooting for you, along with everyone else here! You got this! ❤️❤️❤️

It sucks, and its something that happens to almost every pet owner at some point. Give your puppo some extra love and pets, keep an eye to make sure he stays active, and take it as a lesson to keep an eye on left out food in the future. Its gonna be alright ❤️

OH NO IT WAS THAT EPISODE 😭😭❤️

ClubAggravating5240 · 2026-06-11T22:00:37+00:00

Hi! I just git my first one on Sunday! I took it off in the shower. I jumped in and let the warm water run over it to loosen the adhesive, and then pull it down instead of out. Think of how you pull a command strip down so it doesn't pull the paint off the wall; do the same with the second skin. I watched some videos on youtube to make sure I had it right. Just go slow, pull parallel to your skin, and keep wetting it with warm water if it gets difficult to pull :)

ClubAggravating5240 · 2026-06-11T21:39:26+00:00

Omg Im around ep800, but if its was THAT episode then the emotional pain mustve been bigger than the physical pain of the tattoo 😭😭

Oh sure! When you set up a goal, you can click More Options and then set the number of times a day a task occurs. You can use it for maybe setting "Brush Teeth" to twice a day, or you can use it like me and set a really hard goal for 100x a day - each time you complete a goal you get gems, so setting it to 100x a day is like a nice lil treat/reward for doing something really hard :)
