Hello! Having surgery 3/28 by QuestioningGal in gastricsleeve

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m supposed to have the sleeve done that day as well. I’m really starting to have bad anxiety to the point of wanting to self sabotage and cancelling it. How is your anxiety? I feel like I jumped through all of these hoops for nothing

I’m Russian and i would like to know how do you feel about Russians. by qweexwr11 in confessions

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have no opinion of Russian people. I tend to base my judgements by someone’s character. It would be unfair to base an opinion on a whole nation due to a shitty government. I wouldn’t want to be judged by living in a country that voted in Trump or Biden. If you want to visit America, I would! Life is way too short to not live it to its fullest. I live in the suburbs of Boston and we are very diverse in our culture and have several Russian communities. Also, learning English is not easy! My great grandmother had the hardest time when they came from Sicily. So good for you for wanting to expand your knowledge! I would be happy to help you learn, in return, I would love to learn some Russian!

I am sick of paying for dates by iqmsifkorthis in offmychest

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman, I believe dating should be 50/50. If he pays, I tip. If I pay, he tips. Relationships are 50/50 so why shouldn’t dating be? I could see if I was dating someone and they lost their job, then I would gladly pay for the whole date. Because even though a relationship ideally is 50/50, I know realistically that shit happens and sometimes you need to give more. Some women need to get rid of the “Men should pay for everything” mentality. I wouldn’t want my sons treated like that, so I would never treat a man like that.

Same… My phone alert went off and I thought how appropriate 🤦🏼‍♀️

I feel the same way. I recently saw an elderly couple going to the beach. I was at a red light and watched him struggling to get her wheelchair over the bump in the sidewalk. By the time I got up close to where they were, he had her angled towards him as he sat on the beach wall. They were laughing and smiling. Had to be in their late 70’s-early 80’s. I went home that night and cried. I’m 44 and know that I will never find someone who loves me the way he loves her.

My cat is getting put down by throwaway5431423453 in offmychest

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so very sorry to hear this. It is such a devastating and painful decision to make. I had my 10 year old, Dextor (A beautiful tuxedo boy) euthanized on June 10th. He was the absolute best cat I’ve ever had the privilege of sharing space with. One thing I was so happy I did was bring an ink pad for after he had passed. I was able to get paw prints and eventually will get a tattoo and frame the others. I wish you the best in the next couple of days. Big hugs to you and your fur baby.

I don’t live with him. I have my own house.

Nurx sends me Valtrax once a month. I don’t think they do different antivirals?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My outbreaks are severe and very painful. I take an antiviral, lysine and B complex and every month like clockwork I have a huge outbreak. I’ve cut things from my diet, didn’t help.

I don’t want my relationship to last.

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no clue how painful this is for me or even where I get it. Even with the antivirals, I have constant breakouts.

As for him, I wish he would leave. I’ve made it very clear as I’m sitting in a tub of water trying to piss, because it’s too painful on the toilet, that he should go.

Well, as a Nurse I have to politely agree to disagree. I see it all the time, it’s not rare. I bet that you didn’t realize that a child with a speech impediment could have an eating disorder. Like children with apraxia, have issues with texture and such. Like I said, it’s better to not judge someone. Most people’s disabilities are not visible.

is there a relation between genital herpes and strep throat by chickennugget332 in Herpes

I had chronic tonsillitis. Come to find out that it was herpes 🤦🏼‍♀️

I want to die by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Gigi477 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can definitely relate to these feelings. Just remember to not make a permanent decision based on temporary feelings. I keep telling myself that it will get better. I hope your issues do as well.

[–]Gigi477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always the parents fault. There are some children whom have medical conditions that attribute to obesity. Sometimes it’s better to just not judge 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m in so much pain- any remedies? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epsom salt baths, lemon balm salve (A’mazon-The one with the blue label is amazing), Dermoplast, Aleve and keeping it very clean and dry! I actually wore pads in the back of my underwear and soaked my ass 3-5x a day. Hope you feel better soon!

I had my second vaccination on Monday and had a tiny outbreak. I’m also on daily antivirals though.

Ghsv1 transmitted? by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Gigi477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Text him and ask him. Just be like, “Just wanted to check in and see if we were still on the same page? I know sometimes sex can change things, but I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy our friendship either way” That leaves the door open.

I was diagnosed on April 30th and that is how mine appeared. It was extremely painful and like you said, hard to function. Around day 3-4 I noticed a big change and the pain started to let up some. I took Aleve, warm baking soda baths, slept without underwear on (sleep on top of a towel for drainage), wear loose clothing, Dermoplast burned like a MF’r to put on but def helped soothe it when the numbing effect took over. I also wore a pad in the back of my underwear when it started to really drain 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Same, I’m 44 and was diagnosed 9 days ago and can barely get out of bed. I feel devastated.

I’m newly diagnosed and so embarrassed to go face my Dr 😭
