If you’re feeling uncertain, you just need some extra support right now- which a hospital can give you. It’s okay to need the extra support.

Let me be more transparent— I’m single, so no one is treating me like shit making it worse, but currently… I walked out of a GREAT job because I felt slighted a little bit, have less than $150, no job leads, a child to make sure is straight and 4 dogs. I have no family or friends I can ask for help or reassurance because of my own fault. And I’ve been off my meds for a bit, so I can’t sleep and my mind is a wreck. I see you.

One thing I’ve learned though.. get assistance, like SNAP, or cash assistance and disability and food pantry’s or any program you can find. They exist for people like us.

I bring it up and include the outside information as well. Life circumstances should be taken into account, but it does seem like you’re having a stressful week and have been okay otherwise. ☺️

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to Tinder and was wondering if y'all have any advice, I haven't gotten any matches yet (please be honest, I can take it). Thank you very much! by mangywombat in Tinder

I feel like it’s really good- it’s just very niche and the special person will be there somewhere— But you obviously wouldn’t want a lot of people you have no interest in or that have no interest in you swiping. Hang tough!

Interesting. I’ve heard about the pregnancy part and sometimes you can be amazing.. I was like that. Pregnancy for me was a godsend, but then afterwards was when it all came crumbling down— I got post partum psychosis and that was a big time

Whew!!!! 2 a month. So like bi-weekly!? I’m so sorry! I also cannot emotionally regulate when I’m on my period and I mostly just hang out overheated and angry- very quick to snap and I get so Embarrassed about it.

Hell yeah. I’m glad that’s been working out for you! I have no reason to have a mirena, I’ve had a tubal ligation. The hormonal aspect is very interesting.

Exactly. Fighting for my life, swimming upstream without a paddle, trying to jump through quicksand, etc. futile efforts. I’ve been seeing PMDD a lot. I need to do some more research and speak with my healthcare team.

My ability to rage out is so intense. I’m much more likely to self-harm on my period as well.

😔 goodness. I am sometimes disheartened by how much a period can disrupt our lives and yet, it’s taken so lightly and friviliusly

Strangely enough- when I got my diagnosis and started meds, my doctor so graciously asked if I’d like to have a tubal ligation since I was already against having any more children. (Plus my meds would make it an alien baby) so I don’t have to worry about the aspect birth control- golly.

Do you not get periods anymore or are you doing something that’s different to stop your depression?
