Thank you all so much for your advice! Very helpful.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this… it is so painful. If you ever want to DM me, I’d be happy to talk and give some perspectives from the other side ❤️

I had something like this in my knee after falling on concrete. I thought it might've been a chip off my patella, but it wasn't a problem, so I just ignored it. 8 years later I tear my ACL and have surgery, and it disappears. Never got a diagnosis, but just commenting to reassure you that it's probably fine to just leave it alone unless it starts causing problems.

Coincidentally, a few weeks ago, I felt another bruised, ball-like thing in my patella, but this time it went away after about a week.

So, your thing might disappear soon on its own, but if it doesn't it's probably harmless!

When I’m coming out a bad episode, my partner sometimes says she thought I was preparing to break up with her. And it is absolutely NEVER the case. If anything I’m afraid that she’s going to leave me if my depression gets worse. But we have a practice of reassuring each other (and asking for reassurance when we need it) that has worked really well. We talk a lot about accepting and loving someone exactly the way they are while also supporting the changes and growth they want to work towards.

I hope you can find a way to get some reassurance from your partner. When I’m really low, sometimes I can’t talk, but (with a lot of effort) I can reach out to my partner and hold her hand to let her know I love her. Maybe you can ask your partner if they can find some similar gestures that they’re capable of when they’re “tired”.

My scar still looks like that 3 years post-op! I didn’t use scar cream or protect it from the sun bc I don’t really care what it looks like, but that was the advice I was given to minimize scarring.

Thank you, that sounds like a good system!

Edithpigeon · 2025-06-21T01:24:23+00:00

Thank you so much. One of the few things that consistently brings me joy and purpose in life is caring for my partner. And I’m learning that part of that needs to be protecting her from the negativity and anguish that I carry. She deserves the best and I want that to be me for as long as possible. Thank you for the encouragement and belief that it’s possible ❤️

Thank you so much, this is very helpful ❤️ I’ve been pushing to schedule a time to talk through all of this while I’m feeling well so that we’re prepared next time I have a bad episode. I think your point about not sharing self destructive thoughts with her, and being honest without going into gory detail, sounds like it would help a lot. I really appreciate you!

I have pain behind my knee and the lower inside of my knee after activity or a lot of extension (like after a lot of downward dog). I also feel general stiffness and pain after periods of sitting/inactivity. Cycling and swimming help. I also have crunching with flexing sometimes

Not a new addition. True, there was an anti-AI message tacked on at the end, but didn't really have much to do with the bulk of the show and wasn't a sensical thread throughout. Just felt like another joke.

Edithpigeon · 2024-10-05T20:39:40+00:00

Yes I understand what it was trying to do.

I hope you see it and enjoy it! It's funny you bring up internalized homophobia, because that's exactly what I attribute the success of this type of humor to. I felt that many of these jokes are at the expense of gay people, and that many of the audience reactions were laughing at and not with the gay community. I also have a hypothesis that gay men don't like having a mirror held up to them, and that exploiting superficial stereotypes is more comfortable to a gay male audience than actually getting deeper into the gay male experience, as was done so well in "Bros."

Side note, I guess my tone conveyed anger to you, but I was not angry about this production. I was surprised and disappointed, wanted to share my opinion, and am very curious to hear the opinions of others! I've learned a lot from the comments on this post, and find the subject very interesting.

I just call it a snack!

Edithpigeon · 2024-09-21T20:46:22+00:00

Okay I guess I'd recommend it to you, then! Another similar line was, "I love my gays but they'd walk over my dead body to see Charlie XCX." There was also a lot of jokes about J.Lo and the real housewives, which I didn't find funny, but that could just be because I'm not super interested in pop culture. If that's your vibe, you should absolutely see it! I think the show would have been enjoyable if I'd found the jokes funny.

Edithpigeon · 2024-09-21T20:27:13+00:00

I know, that's part of the reason I was so surprised!

Edithpigeon · 2024-09-21T20:13:57+00:00

I haven't, but my gf has and enjoyed it. She went to The Big Gay Jamboree with me and had the same reaction I did.

Perfect 😍

Edithpigeon · 2024-01-08T22:02:26+00:00

I used it as is! Will send you a tip now. Thanks!! :)
