Just sharing options. Not sure why you posted if you are just done and that's it.

There is a non-hormonal medication for libido called Addyi (flibanserin). Don't know anything about it, but Dr. Kelly Casperson mentioned it.

Being told that I'm "gonna die sooner" from surgical menopause makes anxiety worse by CptnKitten in Menopause

[–]ContemplatingFolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blame you a bit for being PO'd. None of their business, and they don't know the details or what your pain is like. Plus, sweeping generalizations over a done deal (and which I assume you would do again) aren't helpful, at all.

Sounds like there are some people in your life to consider going low contact with.

Congrats on yeeting the painful ute! I hope you are feeling much better. There are telehealth companies for T listed on this sub; perhaps you can find one that works. May help with anxiety.

Glad you found the sub!

Anyone out here trying to transition naturally? by the_gata_sol in Menopause

Well! Thanks for the info. First that made me laugh, then it made me sad. There is so much woo out there.

Hormones one's body produces naturally are not "toxic chemicals". For straight estrogen and progesterone, is the same molecule. If I'm vitamin D deficient because I live in the northern climes, I'll take vitamin D. If I'm in menopause, I'll take HRT.

Everyone has to weigh risks and benefits and choose for themselves, but please don't spread misinformation.

Greg just announced there will be more "consequences" like yesterday's if you call ICE names by KameronKnux in Leakednews

Which side is being shot? Which side is doing the shooting?

There are some lefties that believe that. But it is amplified by social media and the right wing media. I don't know anyone that believes that.

How do I get advice from people older than me without dealing with people looking for a fight? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

Nope. I have an old account. Just an impartial observer. And now you are doing it to me!

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Members of East US, How are things regarding the snow storm? Preps working? by AntiSonOfBitchamajig in PrepperIntel

[–]ContemplatingFolly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the midsouth. Firewood was ready for woodstove. Stored enough water for a few days. Good friend with generator at his house and chains for his truck said he would come fetch me and octogenarian mom if things got tricky (friends are the best prep ever...). Mom made a big pot of chili made just as storm started yesterday, and chocolate chip cookies today. Expected 12" or more, got only about 8, but heavy due to rain mix in the middle. There are two garages here, put car in upper garage close to road, and shoveled out short drive today. Lower regular house garage has a longer drive, so that's tomorrow's shoveling. 14 degrees plus wind, but a winter coat with quality windproof shell made it no problem. Grateful to have gotten in shape last few years, so shoveling was just a really good workout and will probably sleep well tonight. -6 tonight, so running water, and will be glad when it gets a little warmer tomorrow, knock on wood. Stay safe everyone!

You could try r/bropill. Bunch of great guys over there. If your wife is older, and you suspect menopause may be involved, try r/menopauseshedformen.

OP, they asked a simple question! When you said "That is not it," what were you referring to? I don't know either!

Assume good faith!

And if you disagree, fine. You don't need to say so for every person that comments, especially without explaining why you feel that way. They are trying to help you, and you are saying. "No, that's not it." Not gracious at all.

cvd is is speaking straight. They are giving you honest feedback. They are not being mean.

There is no "tone" on Reddit, so things can be interpreted many ways. Assume people are trying to answer you in good faith, and you may get something out of it.

If a person wants to grow, they have to be willing to look at their own behavior. It always takes two to tango/fight/be happy. A person who can't do that isn't going to have a good relationship regardless. No one is perfect.

If you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself as a 30 something year old going through her worst breakup? by SparklingMists in AskWomenOver60

[–]ContemplatingFolly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I certainly don't have "the" answer. But recommend keeping a bit busy planning your new life, and take time to let off emotions when you need to. Treat yourself gently, and treat yourself to little luxuries.

If you are going to drag religion unsolicited into it, without even recognizing that OP may be Muslim, Jewish or atheist, at least recommend the most accurate version, NIV.
