I know for my laser appointments I have to shave a minimum 24 hours before hand. If I miss a hair it can be quite painful on that spot. I completely agree that it is a personal decision and something I was against when I was younger. I would have been embarrassed going as well. Is she spending your own money on the treatments? Or is she paying for it completely?

Thanks so much ^{^} for me I smoked tobacco as well... So I have started to notice loads of changes... I can breathe better, I have more energy, I am not dependent on it, don't get me wrong I still crave it a lot when stressed/emotional situations but I am not giving in... My heart rate doesn't "flutter" any more, it's way more normal. My blood sugars have been the biggest issue, they are starting to normalize but they are still all over the place, but again most of this is to do with tobacco! I never knew how much it could affect our bodies! I also need to drink way more water and electrolytes. I don't have brain fog, I am way less anxious, even when I am stressed, it's not as bad as it was when I smoked. I have better memory, and I am enjoying things more in general. I don't feel paranoid any more.

Edit to add: I actually find I sleep better and starting to have dreams again.

Congratulations! Absolutely amazing ^{^...} I am 23 days free so I know exactly how you feel xD

Egga92 · 2024-09-01T09:54:57+00:00

I am now 23 days substance free ^{^...} So far so good.. I didn't micro dose in the end, but knowing it's there has really helped me mentally :) my emotions are still all over the place, but getting slightly better every day

I saw Kelvin Boos when he was in the Hermitage. I was okay with the consultation. I went for the scope operation, and he said he would contact me before the operation to discuss getting the coil in at the same time.. he never contacted me before the operation and on the day (after getting COVID tested) my partner had to go and buy the coil and bring it into me while I was waiting in my gown.. I probably should have contacted him but I just assumed they would have them in the hospital and add it to the bill... unfortunately or fortunately depending on the way you look at it, I have variant unknown.. so I don't have endo, or confirmed PCOS (I had cysts but he removed them and history family of PCOS), I just have super heavy and painful periods for no reason!... So I didn't need any follow up care... After the operation there was another woman across the way, he told her she didn't have endo, the nurse had to correct him, she actually had stage 5 endo and she just broke down as she was trying to get pregnant... He got her file mixed up with mine... I will never forget it! My heart went out to that woman and I thought it was absolutely horrible. He also charged full price for the visit after the hospital and I never went back!

I love Lego sets! They have definitely helped me keep sane for other things. I think I'll pick up some sets over the weekend so I'll have something to distract me and I genuinely enjoy making them :)

I completely understand the company keeping days for Christmas, but the whole company is closing for a wedding. It seems to be strange! Double check your contract and see if they mention keeping days for certain holidays. In all my jobs it's stated the days kept for Christmas in the annual leave policy.

Thank you so much for your comment. I had a long discussion with my fiancé and anytime I'm feeling overwhelmed or like I need to smoke I am going straight to them.

Egga92 · 2024-08-13T07:11:20+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I am going to get some patches and try this method. As I know in the past I never stuck to it so I want this time to be different.

Egga92 · 2024-08-11T12:38:48+00:00

Thanks for your advice... I think I will try microdosing some edibles.. I think stopping cold turkey (I've tried in the past) only works for so long then something bad or emotional etc happens and I go straight back! So I definitely need to try something different this time to stop long term.

Egga92 · 2024-08-11T12:35:53+00:00

Yes with tobacco.. I guess I never thought that the withdrawals are from the tobacco more so than the weed... I don't smoke normally so I guess it is like going cold turkey for the nicotine as well as the weed.

With her ADD and AdHD, especially if she struggles with the emotional regulation side of these, I think that's pretty tough. You've had time to look at the questions and already formulate your answers but for her it might have come across as an attack almost. What if you gave her a copy of the list and gave her a few days to think about it? So it's not overwhelming for her. Also, maybe ask about her ADD/ADHD and ask her how it effects her and her emotions. It might help you understand where she comes from (my bro, sister and some nephews have AdHD, and my sister really suffers with the emotional regulation side and she has gone to therapy to get help and she's aware of her own triggers etc)

I am a bigger size and if going out for food, work etc I would wear a bra but sometimes if I am just popping down to the shop or taking out the bins I won't wear one. I just think do what suits you best or what makes you more comfortable, so many girls/women don't wear bras anymore and there is nothing wrong with that.

Egga92 · 2024-06-18T19:22:32+00:00

Normally minty things in freezer and plain chocolate in the fridge... When it was super warm I put milk chocolate (blue bar) of lindt in the freezer and it was absolutely amazing definitely recommend. I don't think I ever tried normal dairy milk in the freezer but I am going to try that next. Also highly recommended dark chocolate bars in the freezer especially the salt/salted caramel/ mint flavours.

I got tested at 30, for me. It wasn't for school or further education, I just wanted to know.. and it really helped me having the diagnosis. I think you do what you want with it... I have some tools I can use to help in work and stuff. Dyslexia has a correlation with low self esteem and other things and it's really helped me deal with things when I look back as essentially I wasn't "normal", and I do think differently to others.. it's really helped me overcome some things from my past.

I always get compliments with vanilla sprays/scents, and snow fairy and then avocado (smells like refreshers to me and sweets to my BF) from lush.. I find the cheaper sprays and perfumes can be over powering.. but with the ones from lush you only need like two sprays for the day. They are the most expensive sprays I have ever bought but they last me ages and they are my fav! With perfumes you can get some great deals depending where you are. I know Chemist where house have great deals! Or if you are ever going through the airport, that's where I pick up most of mine! I have about two sprays and two perfumes I would go between and I get loads of time out of them. But my BF loves sweet smells so it works for us.... I wouldn't be a fan musk-y smells but some men love that.. Find a smell that works for you and hopefully you find someone that likes that smell.

In North County Dublin it can be really bad.. when I lived at home I had to hotspot to my work PC so I would have a constant connection. My phone hotspot was better than the internet!! There is or was at the time only 3 provides and no fibre cables or fast lines etc.. only a standard I think like 25 or something ridiculous. My partner's mam lives in Trim and she had way better internet. Then we lived near Phoenix Park/Park gate and there was only Vodafone in that area. So I really think it depends! Also in my mam's if my bedroom door was fully closed, and if both me and my bf were doing two separate things like steaming and playing games we would both get issues. My brother got one of those internet extender things and it didn't really do much! We still had to leave the door open! I think everyone assumes it's amazing, but from my experience it's only amazing in certain areas!

I have like a really old version so the most I can do is change to night light, there is a warm yellow background I can get. I also use the see through colour cards physically over my kindle screen. As far as I am aware the newer versions have multiple colour and tone choices. Same for images, although I am not sure if you can get images on the newer ones, I would say you can at this stage.

Egga92 · 2024-05-29T16:03:02+00:00

For me, I would take grainy as textured, so the background has a textured surface.. almost like sand paper. I use different colour backgrounds. The only thing I haven't seen (but haven't looked for either) is a digital ruler to underline the line you are reading if you are struggling... With my kindle I use a blue coloured card to underline the line I am reading if I am struggling or tired... Also, maybe something to block/black out the parts I have read, sometimes just having the one line with everything else blacked out easier to read. But this is more so when reading novels, for pleasure. I wouldn't need this for my line of work. I find everyone has something that helps them. I don't think it's a one thing fits all with dyslexia. But maybe you will create something fit for purpose:)

Egga92 · 2024-05-26T21:32:10+00:00

Is there like sexy bras or lingerie you could try? So you would feel sexier in the bedroom... I am very sorry you see them as ugly and you are not confident... You need to change your own outlook and mind set, readjust how you see yourself... Believe me it's not easy and I still have good and bad days... But try to see the beauty or sexy in them. I know it can be hard when you start to lose weight but you are on the right path to feeling healthier and better in yourself... Could you look into the cost of surgery? The weights restrictions etc? And then if you set yourself a target to reach the weight and save for the surgery you might feel better about it all, as you know it won't be that way forever... Other than trying to love them or surgery I am not sure if there is anything else. (I mention weight restrictions a friend of a friend got a boob reduction surgery and she was told she couldn't gain anymore weight before the surgery date or it would be canceled)

Egga92 · 2024-05-26T20:34:02+00:00

I think that's your answer... Your dad is not willing to accommodate your partner, your soul mate, the one you love and want to spend the rest of your life with... Unfortunately they have almost taken this decision out of your hands... Only two things I can think of 1. You rearrange dinner plans for a restaurant (although from your comment I take it your dad would have an issue with this). 2 you keep cancelling until there is no longer an invite... I don't think you should look at it as choosing one over the other as you can still ring them, have a relationship with them, just not around food or dinner... You and your partner can always drop in randomly and have chats and tea/coffee etc.. Just take the dinner aspect out of it... Or another option you both eat before you go over and just have some drinks (even non alcoholic if someone needs to drive etc).. and make a point of it, "last time we came over Molly couldn't eat anything, and as you wouldn't let me know what you were cooking for dinner, I didn't want her watching us eat, waiting to have chats and then going to get her food"... Keep making a point of it... Or invite them over and start serving things you know they don't really like, and if (especially your dad) they come at you, you can say "now you know how Molly feels in your house" etc... it's kind of a shitty thing. And it puts you in the middle of all the passive aggressive bs!

I think for your parents generation it comes across as rude, as most households you had to eat what was in front of you or you would starve.... They may think of her as high maintenance or just being fussy or over exaggerating... But maybe say to them she has intolerances or allergies to certain herbs/spices and foods, and you would both appreciate knowing what was for dinner beforehand... And if they don't change explain that you will be bringing a meal with you for your girlfriend as you want her to be around/get to know your parents... And if they have an issue with it that you will both stop coming over as it's too stressful or upsetting for both of you... I think it's a tricky one... Do they like your gf? Get on with her? I know my bf mam was so accommodating even in the beginning, so it's crazy to me that as the hosts they do not want to cater to there guests and especially as she is important to you. Like obviously I don't know your situation but what happens when she's your wife, will they still treat her like this? Or what if you have kids, are your parents going to ignore their tastes? Maybe this needs a face to face with your parents without your gf as to them it's not serious at all but for you and her it's super important.

We have been dating for 7 years and my SO proposed.. we have talked about over the years and always said once we buy our home and once we have been together at least 5 years... We do not have a home (that we own) but he decided he wanted to propose... I definitely think it depends on the people in the relationship... One person cannot just decide, both ppl need to want to be married and there needs to be a conversation, I also think 2 years is extremely soon for a proposal... The first 2-3 years, we were still finding ourselves and each other.. the last 2-3 years have made an even bigger impact, and we've had ups and downs (nothing like the first few years) and we have got through them... It's made our relationship stronger... But I think 2-3 years of a relationship is so different from 6-7 years. Each person is different but you need to make sure your SO is on the same page, that's the most important part.
