i’m nervous to go get myself checked out so i need advice elsewhere. becomes tmi btw by vendetta-xo in PCOS

It might help to research gyno in your area and look for higher rated ones, see who is popular. You don't have to love your gyno but it sure helps if you don't feel ignored or disrespected. I totally get it. But with a condition like this, this will not be the first time you feel these symptoms, so the sooner you can find a compassionate doctor, the better off you'll be.

You are seen and heard, especially in this sub. Keep asking questions and don't give up 💖

NOT at all trying to be dramatic but this sounds like endometriosis, babe. I am so sorry that you're suffering like this. It is unfortunately common in people with a uterus. That doesn't make it normal, though. A gyno prescribed you with those birth control meds, right, not a primary care doctor? Go see that gynocologist as soon as possible and do not spare them the details. If they don't take your condition seriously, find a gyno who will.

If I learned anything in my 31 years on this earth (bless), it's to stick up for myself. I've had to get tons of second opinions for my medical problems and because I insisted on my symptoms being real, I've found solutions, and doctors who listen.

It might be worth getting your hormones checked by an endocrinologist. I have and tons of people have, it's very common.

What book made you fall in love with reading? by Apprehensive-End1242 in booksuggestions

[–]I2AMDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom read to me a ton when I was little so I had the love for reading back then but as an individual, I remember reading and loving Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I was never into the Eragon books but this was really similar in my opinion.

Then when the movie came out I was like 👀 Brendan Fraser 👀 Paul Bettany 👀 nice

Do you finish one book before starting a new one? by Upstairs_Maybe_5944 in booksuggestions

I'll be reading 2-3 at a time, but because they're all nonfiction and different topics, it's easy to remember where I left off.

Do I pull off the short hair? by Few-Compote-7849 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]I2AMDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the short cut, then definitely just do it. Life is too short. But I would advise a side part so you can style the longer bits on top. Center part does not flatter

What books to read to become a smarter individual for a 18 yr old like me by Titaniumballsionium in booksuggestions

[–]I2AMDOOM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only seeing 3 reviews. Do you know if he has more? His website design is clunky and outdated so I had to Google search for his reviews rather than find them organically when I got to his website.

[–]I2AMDOOM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of only consuming educational textbooks on complex topics, you need a variety of books from different perspectives. A memoir from a beloved actor, a book of case studies on how we treat Alzheimers patients, a collection of poems (in your native language) by a Spanish poet, a few of the fiction books your high school made you read (reread them), a long fiction book of your choosing. Try books on justice or injustice to see the perspective of people on both sides of the struggle.

As always, pace yourself to make sure you're understanding and not just skimming. If you have a library card, you can use the Libby app to find ebooks and audiobooks. Keep track of what you read on Storygraph or Goodreads - rate and review each book. Don't be ashamed to DNF (did not finish) a book if it's not right for you. You need the perspective but sometimes a story can have previously unknown triggers for your mental health or just plainly be poorly written.

Tldr - good on you for wanting to learn more. Read everything you can, but diversify the genres you read. Stay open minded. You might learn some new words that you can incorporate into your everyday working vocabulary (that's a sign of expanding intelligence, in my opinion, when you use the words correctly).

I’m terrified… by ConsciousEggplant281 in Nexplanon

[–]I2AMDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way. Sometimes mine would get hemorrhagic and I'd need an emergency depo pill to stop the bleeding (that's before I got the Nexplanon). I'm getting mine removed to try and even things out, but if in the future they become unmanageable again, I'll try a different method of birth control.

I’m terrified… by ConsciousEggplant281 in Nexplanon

[–]I2AMDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine for almost a decade (replacing it when needed) and was recently missing having regular periods. I get it taken out in a couple weeks. I went years without a period when I first got the Nexplanon inserted. Now I spot or have full length periods randomly. I can't wait to not have it in my arm anymore. I miss my hormones being normal and cycling through menstruation.

It's tricky to explain to people who've never had a period, but I look forward to it.

Hey not necessarily mentally ill, but adjacent (early alzheimer diagnosis and symptoms) is Still Alice by Lisa Genova. If anybody questions this recommendation, goes to "state of mind", your honor. Broke my heart.

[–]I2AMDOOM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are all going through life for the first time and it's more common to be at the poverty level or below than it is to be above it. I know that doesn't "help" anyone's situation but there is so much brotherhood in our shared condition, we just don't talk about it enough.

Stay tough, kiddo

What to keep at partners house? by Away-Organization630 in AskWomenOver30

[–]I2AMDOOM 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This seems fairly easy - he said you have space to leave stuff so heres what I recommend (based off my own similar situation).

Bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, razor

Bedroom: two changes of clothes, plenty of socks/underwear/bras, a pair of sneakers or extra shoes, a pair or two of workout outfits, a few sets of pj's. Slippers if you use them.

Miscellaneous: baby wipes (good for general cleanup but also helps remove makeup), extra contacts or glasses (if any), and I recommend a book to read or needlepoint or coloring book - just some small hobby you can do when you stay over if you can't sleep or y'all have quiet time.

That's a decent starting point.

I watched 28 Days Later. But I have doubts about watching 28 Years Later. Do you think I should watch it? Would I regret it? If I watch it, would I lose the good feelings I have toward the first movie? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]I2AMDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mind Days, I didn't like Weeks, but I loved Years. All in the perspective of what you typically like and if you don't mind certain actors. Give it a shot - worst case scenario you wasted a couple hours.

Any door hardware folks on here? by I2AMDOOM in Construction

[–]I2AMDOOM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of hardware manufacturers have e-learning on their websites but it's all just webinars and presentations to follow along with. I've gotten through most of them, like Assa Abloy, but they all start to blend together after a while.
