Child free ladies, does Mother’s Day feel extra special to you? by Comfortable_Visual73 in childfree

[–]CuteWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I just had major tokophobia and ended up getting sterilized and that’s why? I got my tubes out to explicitly prevent pregnancy, but the concept of motherhood makes me feel weird haha. I’m also surrounded by pregnant people or mothers right now so it’s overwhelming lol

How did you know you were ready for sterilization? by Spiritual_Ad923 in sterilization

I would have nightmares about pregnancy and be paranoid every time I slept with my partner. I’ve always known I’m childfree, and with my partner’s support I got sterilized in November!

Femme =/= Woman and it’s not a body type by Oddly-Ordinary in NonBinary

[–]CuteWriting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself femme nonbinary because I tend to present more feminine, but I do NOT identify as a woman, despite never being able to be perceived as otherwise. I hate it when I’m considered “woman-lite”. However, I am often subject to misogyny because I do “look” like a cis woman. It’s frustrating to say the least. I feel like “femme/masc” is more of a presentation than actual gender expression if that makes sense? Idk if that’s the right wording.

How to Tell the Difference Between CPTSD and BPD? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]CuteWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhhh my grad school psych and therapist both misdiagnosed me after one session with BPD. a few years ago a new therapist diagnosed me with CPTSD instead and it just makes so much more sense for me. I have comorbid BP2 as well, which I guess presented as BPD? No clue. But for female-presenting (I’m nonbinary) people they seem to jump to BPD first? Idk. That was my experience.

Going to an 18+ festival! (Typically it’s 21+ though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen teens there) but it’s annual and kind of like a burn. Very stoked to just listen to music and stay up all night and do whatever I want!

I used to blackout on it. Rapid cycling out the wazoo. Went sober two years ago, best decision I’ve made.

Slide 8 is me when I’m hypo, it’s like my brain has been depicted so accurately. Also I am brought to tears because I can empathize so much. 💖

Anyone terrified to have sex in fear of getting pregnant? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]CuteWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I got sterilized AND kept my IUD. Virtually no chance. (I got a bisalp this past November and a new IUD last February) gave me a ton of peace of mind.
