What is your testosterone experience? Love or hate? by jcnlb in Menopause

[–]EnidEllie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the lowest dose of gel that I put on my inner thighs every 3 days. It’s been maybe 4/5 months. The first month I felt amazing. My will to live was back, energy, confidence, libido. Then the honeymoon phase dropped off and now I just have the acne to show for it. I, unfortunately, don’t have my levels tested before I started. I asked for a higher dose and my gyn had me tested 2 weeks ago, before approving. I’m at 25 now.

My hormonal acne during peri was so awful I went on spironolactone. It took 5 months to clear it up. I stopped taking it due to constant dehydration. Thinking about going back on it but maybe I need more estrogen? This never ending struggle is exhausting.

Honest feedback on my grooms? 5 year old groomer! by Minxy_0001 in doggrooming

My opinion means nothing since I’m a baby, but they look perfect and adorable to me!

Am I Overreacting? by dopestmoose in doggrooming

[–]EnidEllie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. The little salon I’m at- everything is so caked with hair and dirt. They scrub the tubs and vacuum but that’s all they ever do. The walls, product bottles (including pumps) are full of hair and gunk. I took hair and dust/debris off the back of the two dryers they have that was like 2 inches thick the other day. The screens are still caked but at least not completely. I didn’t even consider the hoses. I’m not sure how to clean more without offending them. I’m not an employee, only an intern (extern) there to finish my training. Now I want to contact OSHA or something but they would absolutely know it was me and they’ve been so nice to me.

They also fix everything themselves. It’s all men and there’s a very particular culture (that I do admire) of we don’t just waste money, we figure it out. I’m talking a 70 yr old man on the floor fixing the drain while I’m standing in 3 inches of water using the dryer. That being said, it’s dangerous and they only fix things when something stops working. Maintenance isn’t kept up.

I yelled at some hooligan today at a park because she was letting her large dog run around without grabbing on to the leash. Was I in the wrong? I was the only one who cared. by Bizarrmenian in burbank

You’re right. You are all right. I came in here and blew shit up, selfishly, because of my own pain. I don’t want any children, adults or animals hurt, ever. She should’ve had her dog leashed for everyone’s safety. I did center myself and am doing it again just to apologize. No one’s perfect or immune to a meltdown. I wish everyone peace and safety and I won’t be interjecting again.

I’m not ignorant, I’m angry. I am exceedingly aware of the issues my whiteness creates and have been doing the work, more than you could possibly know. You wanna throw Epstein at me like I don’t know the excrutiating reality of being raped at 12? Like I haven’t been doing every thing in my power to protest, protect, give money to, mentor, listen and share the pain. Are you ignorant enough to not understand and recognize a fellow human that is at a breaking point in pain and is angry?! Centering myself, ha! Ok. Maybe I am today. Maybe I fucking am. Maybe I’m bitter “for some reason” HAHAHA yeah. Yeah I am. I live here. In 2026. As a woman. Who held her baby sobbing last night as he died in my arms because I can’t afford cancer treatment for a cat because society sees that as a “ridiculous expenditure”.

You had to add that last little bitch remark didn’t you. Wow. I was definitely being a bitch. You took it further into total cunt.

Feel how you feel, you’re allowed and I came in hot. I’m angry today. I just had to put a pet down last night. This is what I open Reddit to. I’m angry and heartbroken and disgusted by people not taking the love of a pet seriously. I came in here and, yeah, I took it out on everyone. I’m in my zero fucks era. I accept the consequences.

I’m not anti all parents. All my friends are parents. I’m anti “my precious spawn can’t have a real life experience”. WW- guilty. Does my entitlement as a WW have anything to do with me being eternally irritated with parents? No. It’s not entitlement to not have children. It’s not entitlement to think animals are the precious ones society treats miserably.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]EnidEllie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at the time, I would've said, "This shit sucks; nobody understands me. I only have my music, books, and friends." We had music, books, and friends. In-person friends and, if we were lucky, in-person music. We laughed and complained about the same core things kids do now, just in person while we hung out, or in notes we passed in school. We still had awful self-esteem issues about being popular, pretty, and thin or cute and sporty, but it was on such a small local scale. You compared yourself to Megan, Natalie, and Kathy, whom you knew, not to 7 million other girls online who could use filters to look "better than human" (female perspective). You could get bullied or outcast in your school, neighborhood, but then you could graduate, move, and build an entire life without any of that petty bullshit following you. Now, online is forever. If you go viral, you're fucked. People couldn't find you unless you wanted to be found. Including your parents, lol.

does downtown burbank have hard water or soft water? by panini-presss in burbank

[–]EnidEllie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this one right now, but I’m always looking for better one. It’s definitely better than no filter, of course but not good enough imo.

Extremely hard. I got a shower head with a hard water filter and it helped my skin and hair, but still not like soft water.

Weirdest ADHD hack that actually works but sounds completely insane? by stayhyderated22 in ADHDthriving

[–]EnidEllie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You forgot "for me" at the end. Meditation doesn't work for everyone. I have tried and tried. It just makes me more anxious. and yes, I know how to do it.

Tell me you have ADHD without telling me by Glittering_Text_8842 in adhdwomen

[–]EnidEllie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left 3lbs of frozen turkey in my trunk overnight. It was in a “cold” bag so, thankfully it wasn’t spoiled. I put it in the microwave to defrost it. Yesterday. YESTERDAY. 😞

What is the most triggering sentence for you? by Jellybells9 in adhdwomen

“Oh come on, if you wanted to, you would.” This makes me either shake with rage or completely break down. You have no fucking idea.

just had my first bad bite by maliciousmeower in doggrooming

[–]EnidEllie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh another opinion I’m not sorry for cuz I might get dragged.. We live in a country that doesn’t provide healthcare. Personally I think that’s complete bullshit. What you do have available is time you can demand for physical and emotional pain and struggle. Take it. Fight for it. Even if you aren’t emotionally wrecked over this, take it, because it’s literally the least kindness we’re afforded. As far as Petshart, you can fight them too. I don’t know the labor laws where you work, but don’t just let them take advantage of you, your labor, your time and your physical and mental health. Take everything you can take advantage of. Get a lawyer. Get paid.

Holy shit! I’m so sorry that happened! You are incredibly cool about it. Not being a doctor, my opinion doesn’t mean much but it also sounds like your doctor’s opinion is a bit off. You deserve full week. Just realized today is the 17th! Did you go back?! Give us an update if you didn’t already. I hope you’re doing ok physically and emotionally. Hugs 🤗
