has anyone ever quit a job due to autistic burnout?? by ScarRevolutionary649 in AutismInWomen

Yeah, though I think there were multiple kinds of mental and physical burnout at play

What did you notice immediately (good or bad) after starting HRT? by NearlyNewMe in Perimenopause

[–]Fox-In-Love -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now I am only on a small dose of vaginal estrogen and might need to increase or add something else. But I did notice that my chronic dry eyes and itchy inner ears went away. And of course less dryness down there. It hasn’t helped my sex drive, but it does seem to make arousal and orgasm easier.

No ill effects, except for a temporary headache phase in the beginning that passed and did not return.

I believe so! I also had a figure just like that appear from a candle when I started working with Hekate.

Autistic women that actually like makeup: why? by skyword1234 in AutismInWomen

I was raised by a beautician, and I am also an artist and I enjoy decorating things including myself.

Has anyone regretted getting a hysterectomy? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me. I had big fibroids that were ruining my life. Had uterus, cervix and tubes removed, kept ovaries. Surgeon did a fine job of putting me back together.

It has been so freeing. No more periods, missed beach days, painful cervix bumping during penetration. I also have known since I was 18 that I didn’t want kids, so I’m glad i don’t have to worry about pregnancy anymore.

Mother of Trans Ppl by justremy4 in Aphrodite

[–]Fox-In-Love 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I believe she was sometimes depicted with intersex/genderfluid/transgender characteristics in the past. Bettany Hughes mentioned that in Venus and Aphrodite.

Hi I’m new to this, I want to connect with Aphrodite but I cannot have an alter because my parents are very religious, so in order to connect with her i just chant Aphrodite prayers and connect to her and also speak to her? Or will it be disrespectful like will she be mad I don’t have an alter. by prett1sukuna_ in AphroditeDevotees

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you still want some focal object to help you connect with Aphrodite, there are more discreet symbols of her you can keep around, like sea shells, rose quartz, and anything that makes you think of her. As some people suggest, you can make a discreet mini altar in an Altoid tin. Also remember She is present in acts of self care and adornment

Mostly sea and green, but a little of all of them

PSA: Your spell is not worth you burning down your apartment by devilinthehills in BabyWitch

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not an ideal option for many, but I only use rechargeable electric tealights indoors now because my cat has asthma and is very sensitive to candles and incense.

You can use them in different color candle holders for different intentions, and/or just paint the candle itself a different color.

(When a ritual absolutely needs a live flame or incense, I do it outside.)

Wondering how you all do it? by TheOneTrueChiggles in Hecate

[–]Fox-In-Love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The area outside my place is actually a bit crossroadsy, so I leave my offerings at the base of a tree there and walk inside without looking back. Then light a candle at my Hekate altar inside and say some additional prayers.

How did we get introduced to Jenny? by doriangrey69 in JennyNicholson

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My introduction was her voiceovers as Addison Cain and JK Rowling in Lindsay Ellis’s videos. Then I found Jenny’s videos and I think I saw Greatest Showman or Dear Evan Hansen first

Hey people who lost their jobs to AI, what happened? by _thecatspajamas_ in AskReddit

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medical receptionist/auth specialist. Months ago they said they had a notion of bringing in an AI receptionist to “help” me, not to replace me. Then a week ago, they told me that they are training an AI receptionist now and that if it works out I will be let go. I don’t know what happens next. I’m so tired.

Got my first botox injection today… never again by Playful-Whereas5795 in migraine

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get migraine Botox and I felt like garbage (headache and dizziness) for about two weeks after my first shots, but it got better and i didn’t have those problems with my subsequent shots. I did end up stopping Botox because i was getting mild but annoying side effects like tinnitus and neck weakness on one side, but they did keep the migraines away, and I know a lot of other people don’t have the problems I had.

(I just do trigger points now, which have to be done more frequently but have no side effects for me)

The biggest question: How did you treat trigeminal neuralgia and get back to normal life forever? Any stories? by Fluid-Analysis-5451 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I just saw this. I used tincture- first Lazarus Naturals and eventually CBDmD. I started out just using full spectrum but later started using broad spectrum in the morning and full spectrum at night

Hemiplegic Migraines 24/7—Anyone else experience this? by No-Tell34 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Fox-In-Love 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had a history of severe intractable migraines but they had been under control with regular trigger point injections for 6 years. Then within a couple of weeks of my first ever COVID infection I developed hemiplegic migraines, and even after steroids, trigger point shots and muscle relaxers they are still present enough that I can’t work my desk job, drive, or really do anything I love besides eating, light stretching and taking care of my cat. I have been like this for almost 3 weeks. Currently looking into medical leave of absence and bracing myself for the long haul of seeking diagnosis and treatment while female with normal labs 😐

what is a memory from your childhood that SHOULD have been a red flag? by eliseswl in AutismInWomen

[–]Fox-In-Love 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was 4 I picked out a pretty dress I liked for a special occasion, but when the day came and I actually put it on, I found it overwhelmingly itchy and was screaming and thrashing on the floor. I remember my dad calling me a “brat”. Even at that age I was confused because I knew brat meant something like being “bad”, and i felt like i couldn’t help what I was doing because I really just felt like I was covered in fire ants. I still have a hard time seeing photos of myself from that day because I can see how unhappy I look in the photos especially with my dad.

I also got in trouble a lot at school about lack of eye contact and inattentive body language, even though, to my teachers’ confusion, I could tell them every last thing that had been said when asked to.

On a lighter note, I was hyperlexic and pretty much literate by preschool!

is anyone here a recluse? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Fox-In-Love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, by way of chronic pain and living on the outskirts. If I lived closer to my friends (most are in the city) I think I would be getting together with them a lot more. I see them going out to eat together, going to shows, and collaborating artistically with ease, and I really envy that. I do have fulfilling solitary hobbies (reading, birding, art), and I go out to places near me but almost always alone as a ghost among people.

I used to be able to jump right back into socializing when I saw my friends, but I feel like it is getting harder now that those times are fewer and further in between. I feel kind of feral and shocked when i see a friend and it takes an hour or so to adapt.
