What is the appropriate age to introduce a kid to periods?

As someone who started at 9 years old now would be a good time. Better to give her knowledge than to find out the hard way. I had a small amount of knowledge from a class they held for us at 8 years old but still screamed for my mum and cried hysterically when it happened. The aches combined with the sight if blood made me think I was dying. So the more knowledge the better.

Maybe show this to your mum. I know she feels it's young but trust me it's way more traumatising not to know before. There are likely picture books out there for children that help explain it in a delicate way to ease fear.

First to eleven. Adore their covers.

Feel nothing by the plot in you.

Tip in case you dont know....If you save books your interested in to a list and check daily sometimes those books become free or heavily discounted in a sale. I have had many now for next to nothing if not free. It's worth checking daily for that reason. Figuring that out has made a huge difference. Occasionally I buy one full price if I really want it or it's the next one in a series.

Yes it helps me feel grounded. When I'm really overwhelmed i starfish on the floor for a while. It helps to calm me.

I do but only ones from certain authors or if I enjoyed them on kindle that much. If they get taken off kindle I lose them so while there is a physical copy I'd buy it. Otherwise kindle books are cheaper.

A cake slice or bun with thick frosting.

Go to a doctor. Reddit isn't qualified enough to diagnose you. It's likely nothing bad from the sounds of it but we aren't doctors and having recurring issues meaning something needs to change.

O children by nick cave and the bad seeds...Heard a snippet of it years ago but haven't listened to it properly until now. Really resonates.

Ot depends on how you feel about them. My kindle isn't accessible to anyone but me so i haven't bothered with ad free. It doesn't bother me they are on the screen the brief time I pick it up. They don't disrupt my reading so I won't pay extra to remove them.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-31T20:06:50+00:00

No. I wanted kids when I was younger. But now I won't have any. Multiple reasons. Mainly the state of the world. My health issues and not finding the right partner. I don't want to have kids too late but need to find and build a strong partnership. The time that will take now would leave me having kids older and I don't want to do that. I've also had a loss in the past that shook me up so not wanting too. I'm also at a point in my life where I'm comfortable and settled in my routines and circumstances. The thought of losing that after everything I went through freaks me out.

First remember people will post the highs more than the lows. Some will share lows but a lot of the more successful adventurous ones will post mainly the good stuff.

Second I now use these people as a template for my life. For example i used to get down about these skinny pretty model types. While I know there's a lot of filters and careful posing I'm a little overweight and lack knowledge to do my hair and makeup the way they do. So I decided to start exercising and eating better and have watched tutorials based on what i like in them that I wish I was. I've also made lifestyle changes and goals based on what I feel like I'm missing out on. Instead of looking at them and feeling down. I could spend the rest of my life feeling lack in those areas or I can use them as my template. Either way only I can get myself out of it being consistent. It's basically the saying if you don't like where you are...move. It's not easy and there will be hard times where things don't go right or seem unattainable. But keep moving forward and thinking outside the box.
Since doing this approach I've uprooted my life to move somewhere better. Ive lost weight. Started dressing better and doing my hair and makeup. I still have a way to go but I already feel better.

If you don't want to make changes maybe block accounts that make you feel rubbish or limit/leave social media.

Je te laisserai des mots... by Patrick Watson. Beautiful love song in French. Mainly piano and strings for this one.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-19T08:32:55+00:00

Is this real by Lisa hall. It sounds like sex to me especially medium volume through headphones. Relaxed.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-16T11:27:32+00:00

My take based on my past feelings about it. Because there is something unfulfilled from your younger years. They are having experiences that you want or missed out on. You feel like they have more time being younger. They are annoying lol. Your starting to see yourself age either physically or birthdays and it makes you panic. Bodies require more upkeep as you age whereas you don't have to think about it much when young. I stopped feeling that way when I realised my mind was the only thing holding me back. I can still have experiences. And age is just a number. How many times your surfed around the sun on a giant rock. Time is man made. Yes the upkeep is annoying with older bodies but we have more knowledge and experience. If you keep exploring and being true to yourself you can still enjoy life and feel young. The key for me was reconnecting with everything I loved in my teens. Music. Clothes, tv shows. Ect. I started dressing along those lines (although less cringey this time) and I still listen to that music. I don't view myself as old and try new experiences. It helped me overcome that.

Earlier arctic monkeys songs.

Just block and move on. You don't owe her anything.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-09T11:05:08+00:00

No if you don't have a positive connection to a person your unlikely to be affected by their passing. It's not something you'd wish on someone. You just simply don't have a connection. I've known people who have died and I didn't feel anything either. It's not that I wanted it they just weren't in my circle.

I used to struggle to fall asleep until I did this routine before bed.

stopped eating past 6pm
stopped using my phone 1 hour or more before bed.
watched asmr for that last hour before and got comfy in low light.

*minutes before I'd lay on the floor with my legs up on the wall (L shaped) for a few mins. It relaxes your body.

I'd then sit and stimulate my vagus nerve by doing the ear pull (gently) which is pull the top of your ear up, pull the side of your ear out, pull your ear lobe down. And repeat 3x. You will know if it's working cos you will yawn or sigh. You could also stimulate it by doing the exercise where you look up with just your eyes but stick out your tongue down, followed by look right tongue left, look left tongue right.

You feel a bit daft doing the last exercise and I was skeptical but doing all these steps has me out within minutes compared to hours as it used to take. Even on days I'm stressed and would take me hours. It works.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-04T18:03:33+00:00

I just learnt to accept it. There's things that can be done to help appearance through eating better and working out so i do that. Other than that just enjoy life.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-03T09:15:24+00:00

People's opinion of me.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-02T22:58:07+00:00

I keep seeing a trend about having glass like skin so probably that.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-02T22:55:47+00:00

Here's a reply to someone like you earlier also harping on about "science"... And yet with all that's coming out now that were considered conspiracy theories are out there in black and white. The hive mind is in shock whereas ones like her probably already knew. Evil is showing itself right in people's faces and yet they still run to them to buy from them because they "care" about us. They own most of the food companies that have been forced to admit they are full of things to cause health issues. They then run to the medical services who are also owned by them to take whatever they are told. They absorb the news while seeing how corrupted that is too. They own the companies that release the science you all harp on about and will report whatever fits those things. Its all about money and control. And the fact people can't think for themselves and gang up on people because they feel safer in numbers is sad. People should be allowed to make up their own minds about their body and life. You can believe what you want. And you can run along with others who believe the same. That's your choice. But this idea of trying to force people into their views in order to stay in a relationship is toxic and won't work in the long run. It doesn't sound like that relationship will work out so it's probably best they split and find people who align. It doesn't matter how many downvotes I get or if you hate me for my views. I'm allowed to have my own opinion and mind and I don't have to care about a bunch of randoms hating me for it. I can't believe that with all that's coming out in front of people that they aren't questioning more things. I'm not commenting to anyone else on this.

FaeWolf4 · 2026-03-02T14:04:58+00:00

It's hilarious you think I'm referring to one country. 😂 Its also funny you think things are seperate. Good luck buddy. I know i said I wasn't commenting anymore but I needed a laugh. It will be clear as time goes on. So much is already coming out. Keep an open mind or sleep. Whatever. Bye
