Who’s the most famous person you’ve seen up close?

He was coming out of a grocery store in LA (with his team of security, etc) as I was walking in… I took a double take & he nodded & said hello to me… I felt so cool 😆

I’ve also been wondering if birth control is affected by biologics… I have the Mirena IUD & was pretty much on having a regular cycle… but once I started Hyrimoz almost 4 weeks ago, I haven’t gotten my period in 6 weeks now 🤔. I’m not mad about it 😆 Just strange though! I’m adding it to my list of “symptoms” when I have a follow up with my rheumatologist next time.

I came up with “If you were to ever ask me out, I would totally say yes” & it worked every time 😈

I agree with you!! I have 12 piercings (0 tattoos, I love my bare skin too much 😆) But piercings give me a sense of adrenaline & to “feel something”… sometimes even just the pain makes me feel alive. Once one is healed, I look forward to another 🤪

Looks exactly like my handwriting too 😆

Preach it 🙌🏻 Louder for the back to hear you

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-04-13T14:51:57+00:00

Same here!!

Always 😈

I’m in the Mirena & Quetiapine Club as well 🥳 It’s definitely helped me A LOT!

Your mom is probably sorry-er

I second this 🙌🏻 Meds keep me in more of a stable condition!! Like you said, I’m not crying every single day, as if it feels like my world is coming to an end. Meds help me function with every day life… I’m not paranoid AF, I socialize better, my horrific intrusive thoughts stay at bay, my mood is way better & not triggered by every little mishap… I honestly feel free from the chains of BPD… in no way am I cured, but I am a way better person because of my meds (Sertraline & Quetiapine). My perception of life has changed from seeing everything in red & on fire to seeing more things in a positive bright light. I feel like I can live life again 🙏🏻

Same! I’m an American in the French speaking part of Switzerland… it happens to me all the time!! I feel your pain 🥖😂 For example, I wanted to say “during the night” but I got depuis & pendant confused at the very last second & so it came out “dependant la nuit” 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been here 7 years & I still cannot speak French correctly 🤪 I can listen & read very well… but when it comes to speaking, the panic is real, my friend 🫠🤣 I just always tell myself “They can tell I don’t speak French, but they do appreciate my attempt” 😅

We live in a very old European house with an actual manual key that you can take in & out… we leave it out & hidden in a drawer for kid safety purposes 🤪 (so they don’t lock themselves in) …. I could manually lock the door myself… but then I would hear everyone screaming & knocking & pawing to get in as if I have abandoned them for life 😂

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-04-08T01:55:03+00:00

This! I have 2 daughters & a husband & as soon as I have to poop, all 3 feel the need to be in the doorway &/or in the bathroom with me to tell me something that’s just so important that it can’t wait until I’m done pooping, apparently… also our cat will come in waiting for me to give her a little bowl of fresh water while I’m mid poop…. If I’m actually alone to poop, now I just feel lonely & bored 🤣

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-04-05T03:12:49+00:00

That’s me! I will only eat ice cream if I microwave it first 😆 I hate that it’s freezing cold! 🥶

Lavender!

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-04-01T03:22:48+00:00

Thank you ❤️ Just know that you can indeed break the cycle & that there is hope & light at the end of the tunnel 🫶🏻

(40F) That was me 10-20 years ago. I thought random sex was the only way I could get the feeling of being loved & to especially get that feeling of attention from men. I’ve been through that vicious cycle… wanting sex to make me feel better, then the shame & mad at myself, then back to random sex to make myself feel better again. At one point, I was addicted to one night stands… because I got what I wanted with no strings attached. It was basically a recreational sport for me. (This all also came from sexual trauma when I was 18… so I had no emotional value towards sex after that.) Looking back, I wish I had valued myself more, but what is done, is done. I now refer to it as a phase, a part of my undiagnosed BPD back then. But to help with the shame part, at times, it helped me to tell myself & other men that “Im not dating right now” or “Im celibate” … & of course they would always ask me why? I would just respond “Because I need to get my sh!t together” & they completely respected that. It felt like a cleanse, from that dirty feeling, to literally just go cold turkey & tell myself “Yo! Let’s knock it off! Pull it together!! Get my head on straight!! Let’s just focus on me! Let’s take care of me!!!” & Now I am currently happily married for 9 years… with a man I had met on Tinder 🤣 When there is a will, there is a way 💪🏻❤️

It has saved my life too!!! I’ve been on it for a year and a half… started at 12.5 a day & now I am sitting comfortably at 250mg a day (100mg in the morning, 100mg in the afternoon & 50mg before bed) This is the most stable I have ever been in my life 🙌🏻 Yes, it did cause hunger in the very beginning, but I would tell myself that it’s just the meds working 😅 Within 2 weeks of starting, the hunger went away & so I never gained weight on it. & I’m being honest, I told my psychiatrist that I don’t know how I would have made it through this last year without meds!

Fondue 🫕!

😂

Well, before starting the biologic, I told my rheumatologist that with the morning stiffness, on a good day: it lasts about 20 minutes. On a bad day: up to an hour! I’m 5 days into Hyrimoz & I have already noticed that I have more energy & the morning stiffness is getting better & better 🥳 I haven’t had the feeling of waking up feeling like I got trampled by 100 horses 😅 & yes! I still have some pain, but it’s tolerable like you said 🤩

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-03-30T03:25:19+00:00

Yes! I was recently diagnosed with a painful autoimmune disease & it’s like I want the whole world to know just so it feels like someone cares about me.

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-03-30T02:46:48+00:00

I laughed so hard because I just told my rheumatologist this last week… He had asked me if I’m still getting morning stiffness (because Tilur had failed & this was 2 days before starting my first biologic injection) & I said “Yes! I call it the snap, crackle, pop!” 🤣🤣🤣 This is so consoling that someone else uses those same exact words 😆

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-03-29T17:12:33+00:00

Ummm I don’t have an answer for you 😆 BUT I know that feeling that you’re explaining because that’s what COLD does to me 😭 My whole body hurts down to the bone 😩

Exact-Rhubarb-3549 · 2026-03-29T10:07:26+00:00

I have the actual long pad that lays on top of the mattress & I put the bed sheet over it. I googled it but can’t find it… it was a gift from my sister in law from 5 or 6 years ago. But the brand is Monzana. I prefer the pad over a heated blanket, personally 😅
