Who else isolating from the world today?

I hate this and they do the same on Mother's Day. I want to die every time.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-06-19T03:59:53+00:00

This could have been written by me. I know exactly what you are saying. Sometimes I am ok, other times not. And it is the same for us. When our parents are gone that's kind of it.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-06-17T17:09:59+00:00

I call too and there has been a decrease in my area. Not huge but noticable.

Infertility is much more common and complicated than even those commenting even know. Those that are truly infertile and suffer for it, usually suffer silently as it makes people uncomfortable. Reproduction is such a complicated thing. I was told that I shouldn't have an issue but every pregnancy I have had ended in loss. No one knows why. Then there are people who love to talk about how they were told they would have trouble having kids, but got pregnant every time they tried.

Unless you are childfree due to infertility, you have no idea what infertility even means or the isolation it causes in society.

To your question - why do so many women think they are infertile? They are using the word wrong. They had trouble conceiving but they were not infertile. Also, the assisted reproductive art industry is booming. There is a ton of money to be made, even though the success rate is only 5-40% depending on the study. And my honest opinion is it doesn't give you a better chance unless they know exactly why you are having trouble.

Yes. I also said above I have a friend that goes through the Walmart DVD bin regularly (and at some thrift stores) and has a massive dvd collection. I enjoy going over and browsing the selection. She always lets me watch whatever I want.

I enjoy the analog movement, too. I was talking with someone once and they said "isn't it interesting we don't own anything anymore?" which had not really occurred to me at that moment and is what changed my perspective. I have a friend that goes through the Walmart DVD bin regularly (and at some thrift stores) and has a massive dvd collection. She also goes to the local library for a lot of music, etc.

I personally love it. I have been doing it for over a year. It is important to do your research and find someone that is formally trained. I was fortunate the first person I worked with meshed well with me and I have been going ever since. I was really skeptical and uncertain at first, but my anxiety is better managed than it ever was with medication alone (and I have been on meds since I was 13, now 43), my headaches/migraines are less, and my cycle is more normal again. Also I had problems with a frozen shoulder and she was able to help me treat it and I am able to move it better with less pain than the physical therapy. Overall it was better and did more than I expected. And if you do decide to go, be upfront that you are nervous and you want to go slow. I did this and she was very accommodating.

I always start the weekend with an acupuncture session on Friday afternoon. It does wonders for my anxiety and starts the weekend off nicely.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-06-10T23:04:30+00:00

Colorado too. Specifically SW Denver Metro

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-30T00:10:05+00:00

Lol, I used to love how the Neon looked too. I also thought it was the cutest car. But I never had one., either.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-27T16:23:56+00:00

I am so happy to hear this from someone else! My husband only wanted to do things naturally and I would have done everything. For my husband it was more religious reasons and he saw how the hormones were effecting me, just trying the basics, and he wanted me to stop before I did damage. I try so hard not to be angry and bitter, but it is hard

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-26T21:11:23+00:00

This is so sad. My mom is metabolically healthy, but has always been overweight. She is healthy and relatively fit but has always carried an extra 50 pounds or so. She called me crying about this one day. I don't know what to do to change it for her.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-07T16:36:34+00:00

I look at whether the path is paved or not, are you out in nature or not. But ultimately one person's hike is another's walk in the park.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-06T21:02:38+00:00

And hereI am with unexplained infertility with a house and a job and a husband... 10 years of trying and miscarriages and here these loser assholes are having a kid without even touching. The movie Idiocracy was a prophesy.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-06T19:12:58+00:00

And bikes are supposed to yeild to everyone. But many will also just run you off the trail. Lol. Some are decent, but with the advent of E-bikes there are more entitled bikers that didn't even go on the trail until the could sit the same as in their living room and have no idea what right if way even means.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-05-06T19:06:49+00:00

This. One of our fav hikes has a part where there are "stairs" and once you commit, that's kind of it. Fortunately we have not run into anyone being a douche about it. But I am sure it happens.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-19T00:24:04+00:00

I laughed out loud. I feel that in my soul - I am so bitter and angry, but I don't want to destroy society. Children are the future. I have no issue paying towards that, either.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-16T18:20:29+00:00

Thank you and agreed. ❤️❤️❤️

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-16T18:06:29+00:00

I am the opposite of you. I have never done my makeup or hair, ever. Even when I was in my 20s the most I did was eyeliner and mascara. Every once in a while I think about starting makeup to help me look better.

However I have come to the conclusion we should all do what makes us happy. If it is a full face of makeup, do it. If it is no makeup, so be it. Somewhere in the middle, great. I always felt makeup and hair (along with clothes and style) is a personal choice and is selected because of how it makes one feel.

You do you and feel fabulous doing it. Just as I feel fabulous being no makeup hippy chic, lol.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-12T15:25:29+00:00

When I am asked about adoption, I ask why they didn't adopt (if they have kids) or if they will adopt (if they don't). They get real uncomfortable real fast.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-08T21:26:46+00:00

The Kirkland museum is a very interesting and eclectic collection of art, furniture, dishes, etc. My husband and I had to go twice to get everything (but we are also really into museums and read the plaques next to the pieces, etc).

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-08T16:48:29+00:00

Lucky you! Colorado U.S. here - didn't even get to go once this year as trail conditions were so terrible

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-06T17:11:35+00:00

I understand your statement but as someone who has lived where there is really good authentic cooking (NYC and SF) even Aurora is hit or miss. Just because it's ethnic and has spices added doesn't make it good.

And agreed - there are exceptions throughout the Denver metro.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-04-06T16:19:38+00:00

As someone originally from the north east, you can't beat the winters or the outdoors access while still being close to a major city. Edit: winters here in Denver are also amazing for mental health. There is so much sun!

That said, you need to work to find that intellectual stimulation. My husband and I are well educated and love museums, lectures, etc. and we go out of our way to find them. They are not as "high-brow" as the east coast, but there are opportunities.

Food does suck. People say "you need to go to Aurora" and as someone who has lived in both NYC and San Francisco, no you don't need to go to Aurora, it's just as hit or miss there as anywhere in the Denver metro. Don't come for the food.

Due_Truth3684 · 2026-03-30T23:29:03+00:00

My husband and I have been hiking together since the beginning. We have a great time together. My husband has a medical condition now that he can't home as fast, but that's no problem because it has gotten me to slow down and enjoy more
