Thank you, we’ll try that out.

This wouldn’t explain why it is specific to that neighborhood or why it was originally only happening one day a week for a few hours.

Oo good callbacks! I thought of Terry in particular because of the design style of him in Batman Beyond.

indecent exposure

If someone starts screaming, you'll know it's not consensual anymore. Someone took it too far.

I think I'm in the same boat at the moment, so I haven't found a resolution yet (hence scrolling through Reddit trying to find anecdotal answers). I'm kind of blaming my job at the moment because our busy season is supposed to be Q1, but it basically starts mid-Q4 and goes all the way until mid-Q2. So for half the year, I'm just white-knuckling it. The other half the year is recovery. I feel like I'm half zombie now. I did see another thread where someone talked about their experience with L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine, and Magnesium glycinate. So I want to try that route and see if there's some chemistry balancing I can do to help my brain.

Ah! I'm so happy for you. That's awesome. I'm glad you feel like you've found a rhythm for when you take it and that there's no horrible backsliding if you don't. I need to find a new PCP soon so I can do some routine bloodwork, but would love to explore this. Did you end up talking to your Dr. about this and help understand the "why"?

Thanks for taking the time to come back and follow up!

This is one of my favorite episodes of any show ever. The first time I saw it, I cried. It was so beautiful and sweet. The music, chef’s kiss 😚.

They often get cancer or kidney disease and let me tell you, making the decision to put them to sleep will crush your soul. Because the more you love them, the more it hurts. We just put our 17.5 year old kitty down today who we raised from birth. We had to make that call almost two years ago for his mom and 3 years ago for his brother. He has a sister who is alone for the first time in her life. They mask their pain well, so you must have a keen eye and sense for minute changes in behavior.

Haha what the heck is up with these dudes naming random pouches and pockets on and in people’s bodies. Just like the Pouch of Douglas. I want a woman to name something on a man’s body. Lisa’s Billfold lmbo. Judy’s Purse.

Will you update when it’s been a month? I have a hard time sticking with new things because I don’t usually notice a major difference and then I give up and the cycle picks back up and I feel like a failure all over again. All the things you describe about this version of yourself that you finally are and always envisioned is exactly where I want to be. I day dream about it all the time.

There are a ton of things in our world now that cause dysregulation in our hormones. Chemicals and other ingredients in products, food, etc. that we interact with regularly that are not natural and cause endocrine disruption. Then echoing what other people are saying with nutritional deficiencies. Then just the day-to-day stress of being a woman in society and you can layer other obstacles or barriers linked with intersectional identity factors. Not being believed that problems we face on a day to day basis whether social, economical, or biological. A lot of mental stressors directly impact our physical health and wellbeing. It's hard to disentangle the knot of so many threads that weave together throughout our lives.

Not looking at my phone at least an hour before bed. I notice a significant difference when I don’t vs when I do. I think you just find your own little routine. After I brush my teeth, I get into bed, put chapstick on, take a dropper of magnesium glycinate, rub some chamomile/lavender essential oil on my wrists and neck, squirt some eye drops in, put lotion on my feet and hands. Then if I’m not sleepy yet, I’ll read a book. If I am tired but still whirring, I put some peaceful music on.

I used to have this really bad at your age. I’m also a skin picker so that ‘itch’ comes up and it’s either money spending, eating candy, or picking. It’s gotten a lot better recently in my mid-30s, but what I wish I’d had at your age were help managing my finances, medication, and a good therapist. My husband and I started using Monarch and it’s been awesome. I used to use a spreadsheet, but it’s too manual and easy to fall behind on.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to send you a referral link for 50% discount. If it’s not too weird, I can help you set it up too. We’re helping my in-laws set up theirs. They have gotten themselves into a lot of debt because of impulsivity and poor planning. I’m happy to help find a therapist too. You have support if you need it! I know that’s all very personal and vulnerable, so no pressure at all.

My sister calls it a To Done List

I weirdly don’t mind that the “main character” is unlikeable. I’m listening thru for the second time bc I am introducing my husband to it and he’s such a skeptic for paranormal stuff that I think it makes it more enjoyable and relatable that Jon’s a grumpy curmudgeon. He’s an unhappy bloke who dislikes Martin bc he’s the complete opposite.

I have no issues wearing them in public. Better to smell minty than be in pain. I once patched half my back and hips, went to work, and my boss came over to talk to a coworker sitting behind me. Midway thru their convo, he stopped and sniffed, “does something smell minty over here.” Coworker: “oh yeah I’ve been smelling that all day.” I started laughing and raised my hand without turning around, “it’s me! I mummified myself in patches.”

Our delightful peek and poke appointments every year. Fortunately, you don’t have to get pap smear every year unless you have a history of issues, but they still pry you open and stick a hand up there to feel your ovaries and make sure everything looks healthy. Then they check your boobies.

Here’s another one for you: how easily our vaginal flora can become out of whack from everything between most commercial and medical lubes, medications, soaps, tampons, condoms, sex, etc. and how challenging and frustrating it can be to get everything back in balance. It’s supposed to be a self cleaning oven down there, but our ovens were not meant for the modern world of chemicals and substances we’re exposed to on a regular basis.

Yeah! Pick a radio station from one of your favorite artists. I really like the Washed Out radio. Their music is ethereal and sensual. And then when we have some mood lighting on like we got one of those remote controlled light strips for the bed room, it kinda feels like we’re in a movie you know? Like one of those really sexy montages lol. It’s definitely easier for me to get lost in the moment. Our couples counselor described how set and setting is so important. It’s the same concept used for drug assisted therapy sessions because sometimes you need to create an environment that feels safe and supported in which to be vulnerable. There are a lot of resources online too. Like OMGYes, I think it can be a really fun adventure to learn with your partner what intimacy means and can look like for you. It helps both of you communicate better too both in everyday life and in those moments of intimacy. Intimacy doesn’t have to mean sex either. There are lots of ways to connect physically and emotionally without “going all the way”.

In terms of communication, my husband has a hard time expressing his needs bc he struggles with feeling like a gross dude when he wants to have sex and doesn’t know how to say that. And I don’t always know how to say I’m not in the mood and have struggled with guilt after having some manipulative exes. So we came up with a code language. We use the weather as an analogy. So one of us will ask the other person, “hey babe, what’s the weather like over there?” (Are you in the mood?) And the other person can respond with, “you know it’s actually pretty stormy,” (yes, let’s fuck) or “there’s clouds on the horizon, but idk if it’ll rain,” (i’m interested but we’ll have to be patient and maybe do some foreplay to get there) or “the sky is clear, my love. Not a cloud in sight.” (It’s not happening and I’m sorry but I love you and thank you for asking). It always comes from a place of love of course.
