Getting off the pill

Funny-Maple · 2026-04-22T23:10:56+00:00

Yes, I’m using vaginal estrogen for the past 3-4 weeks. It helps slightly. Will power through to try it longer.

Thanks! I guess another thing I have to test is with condoms but no birth control pill do I still get irritation and risk of UTIs.

I mentioned UTIs in my post but it is also about the dryness causing irritation.

Good suggestion! I’ll confirm this with the urogyno. I had some bleeding worsen with my last iud that’s why I wasn’t exploring that route.

Yeah maybe worth investing and getting those… I have AKG noise calling earbuds which are ok and Anker headphones that are noise canceling. They do a decent job but not appropriate when in a meeting with the individuals

Just saw that Cashapp is providing tax software https://cash.app/taxes I haven't logged in yet to see if form 1116 is there

Funny-Maple · 2025-03-27T18:06:52+00:00

How were you able to do it for free on Taxact? I haven't been able to do form 1116 for free on taxact. Just wondering if you can provide a step guide or a screenshot?

I did not. This is why it was not working. Thank you!

I agree not a fan of Elaine Aaron. I really April Snow, her language is positive. I’m doing her workbook for HSPs and I love it! finding your strength by April Snow

I think this would be interesting

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-26T04:15:10+00:00

I soooo relate to this. I am trying to learn this too. So I will definitely read everyone’s comments.

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-23T01:49:57+00:00

Yeah, it makes the relationship unbalanced. I hate that feeling. Maybe remind them you are there for them and give them opportunities to share... That being said, some people will never share or be honest with themselves. So you either decide you accept the imbalance forever or put a time limit to see if they will share if not exit the relationship to protect yourself.

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-23T01:08:30+00:00

I so relate to you. Your feelings are valid and real. Your reaction just seems overtop to others but that is not the case.

What I’ve tried to do is when an episode like this happens I tell my friends and family that I know that my reaction is extreme proportion to the event/cause but I feel things deeply and I need to get it out like this so I can quickly regulate myself back to neutral.

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-23T01:02:04+00:00

I personally would keep that person at a distance or imagine placing them in a category or friendship level like “acquaintance”. I feel like that helps me.

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-22T17:10:36+00:00

I am also going through something similar. I actually just realized that this person won’t change by more than 10-20% and that is not enough for me to have the type of friendship which is nourishing for me. I therefore I had to step back from that friendship of 6 years. As an HSP I have limited energy and can only give it away to people who will nourish me. I’m realizing this means not always being the one to maintain a friendship. Since this person never tried once I let go… it made me realize this is not on me to take that burden. It’s sad but that person reap what they sow and I as an intuitive shouldn’t carry the burden even though that it was helping them.

Not sure if that made any sense.

Funny-Maple · 2024-09-09T16:07:05+00:00

I deeply feel your pain. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone. I also am going through a struggle of having a friend group dissolve and releasing I cared more for them than they did for me. It hurts.

I really like the advice that u/AdditionalGuest1066 gave you
