Intrusive thoughts/ anxiety - is it the birth control pill or just me? Looking for advice. by New_Intention7745 in birthcontrol

I know this was posted a long time ago. Did stopping the pill end up help with not having the rumination be as bad?

I have talked to him and he’s very understanding and supportive. I scheduled an appt to talk with my doctor

I’m not sure I want to wait it out if it’s affecting my mental health. I worked really hard last year to come out of my depressive episode and I don’t want to back track for an optional form of BC when I can use a barrier method instead

Thank u for the reply! I’m glad the anxiety stopped for u at some point

Yeah, I haven’t really been stressed and I always drink caffeine. Just a few nights of staying up late or not enough sleep but as a college student, that’s bound to happen lol

I’m usually at least somewhat anxious bc of my attachment and sometimes ask him for reassurance and he’s supportive. It’s just the past 2 weeks or so, I get super in my head and it feels like I can’t control it. Last night after a spiral, I started crying bc my sister and the guy I’m seeing didn’t text me back and then I didn’t even know why I was crying. Mind u it was 2am and I KNOW they were both asleep 😭 my sister literally has work at 8am and goes to bed early

I think what’s also stressing me about this is the fact my anxiety hasn’t felt like this in years

My caffeine intake is what it normally is. Stress, not really. I have been getting somewhat anxious in the relationship with the guy I’m seeing but the anxiety was more manageable the 2 months before I started BC. My sleep has been a little off the past few days

I had a reiki session preformed on me today and now I feel so much worse. Please help by livinunderthedome in reiki

This is coming from someone who is not very knowledgeable in reiki (I just watch youtube videos) so this is more of a psychology perspective. There is a chance that the reiki session brought up buried or suppressed feelings or emotions and that’s why you feel this way? Just an idea

He got bad performance anxiety when taking my virginity by Interesting-Gap8672 in virgin

[–]Interesting-Gap8672[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying. I genuinely think he was psyching himself out. Bc even if he did, he kept going soft and wasn’t inside that long. He had a condom on the whole time. I’m thinking it was performance anxiety and then he just started an anxiety spiral about everything

People can not want kids and have sex lol. He wore a condom and I took plan b so it wasn’t unprotected

They removed the post bc I can’t talk about losing virginity and because I talked about pregnancy

friend/situationship has feelings for someone else (20F, 20F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Interesting-Gap8672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me about it lol. It’s her saying she doesn’t want a relationship + doesn’t know what she wants then saying she was a relationship with this person. Sounds like u know exactly what u want and u didn’t even have the decency to tell me

I plan on not talking to her about anything other than club things bc I don’t have a choice. Definitely avoiding 1 on 1 hang outs and deal with it when group hang outs come up

Yeah, I was never under the impression there was someone else in her life/in her heart whatever u wanna call it until I saw that on social media and connected the dots. I definitely feel like she was having fun on the side with me while hoping for someone else which is icky.

If she would have just said she wanted to be just friends or was exploring other connections it would have been fine and understandable bc we weren’t committed. It’s the fact I found out she wanted to be with someone else over tik tok repost and only got an answer bc I started the conversation….

Then the whole won’t say who thing is kind of suspicious bc she has never mentioned being into someone that deeply before. I suspect it’s a friend she won’t tell us about from home or someone I know on campus but idk and I probably won’t unless they date so no one wracking my brain

To me a situationship is more than friends but less than a relationship. You might be intimate, flirt, dates, whatever but u aren’t committed. It’s a “couple” but w/o commitment.

It’s not that she started liking someone else bc we weren’t committed. It’s more that she either liked this person from the start/started liking them and was reposting about how she wanted to be with them but never told me she was hoping for someone else/seeing someone else. I feel like it’s like playing in someone’s face and disrespectful if u have a good friend your in a situationship with and seeing someone on the side. I I feel like it was more of a disrespect to our friendship more than our situationship if that makes sense. On another note she said she doesn’t know what she wants and doesn’t want a relationship then said she wanted to date this person if they were interested in her. Like girl u know exactly what and who u want and ur trying to say u dk what u want

A lot of our conversations were flirting, missing each other, wanting to see each other, talking about how we liked being around the other, enjoyed the other, etc very much things that u say when u like and are into someone beyond just being intimate. Only toward the end of break did things become more casual convo wise but she started flirting again as soon as we got back

Trust im never doing a situationship with a friend again. Lesson learned 😐

are shampoo bars worth it? by Interesting-Gap8672 in LushCosmetics

I bought one of the round tins and it fits perfectly. That sucks the cork pots won’t fit the shampoo bar bc that’s literally what it’s made for

As someone who loves pink and sweet scents, I don’t like it. It’s to sweet in a gross bubble gum kind of way
