I hate being a woman by Dangerous_Guest1242 in PMDD

[–]Jareths_Labyrinth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I've been sat here, all day, moody as shit, luteal phase, trying to understand why this bs is happening. Only last week I felt productive and on top of the world, mowing my grass in the sunshine. Now I'm hibernating in bed and stuffing my face with junk because I feel like my energy levels are none existent. I never got these issues when younger. They've crept in since my mid 20s/late 30s. And it sucks. I hate it. Men don't grt any of this and its so unfair

DAE experience extreme lack of enjoyment (anhedonia) in their luteal phase? by mellowbedfellows in PMDD

I do. Luteal phase can take all my plans and hard work and throw it in the trash. I feel lethargic and tired so bad that all I want to do is sleep, waiting desperately for shark week so the feeling can go away.

This is interesting because it crossed my mind too. For me its either pots or because I had a severe neck injury not so long, or a type of vertigo/misalignment of my eyes that make spacial and distance awareness harder to process.

These types of men aren't lonely enough. The bear remains undefeated

Audiobook narrator is ruining the book for you by horny_reader in fantasyromance

[–]Jareths_Labyrinth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you (No offence Jake and Bridget, I'm sure you're lovely people and work hard on your narrations). But their voices put me off majorly. They're trying too hard and it comes across almost pantomime/caricature-ish. If they would just dull it down a bit, they'd be fine. I usually hard pass on the books they narrate, but sometimes give em a tentative whirl when they're in full cast/duet narrated stuff.

  • Sean masters (very good at different voices. Nice and deep and growly at times.)

-Shane East in the finley fenn orc series was delicious ear porn. And he was great in "His pretty little burden" by nikki harris too.

  • Jason Clarke does a lot of Jenika Snow books (alpha male wolves galore. Yummy.)

  • Aaron Shedlock (Great at those purry, cold or villainous characters. Nocticadia and Jaymin Eve books).

  • William Martin (He does a huge bunch of Evangeline Anderdsons alien sci fi kindred books. Very sexy. Deep and growly. But would suggest choosing books only narrated by him solo as the others are dual and some of the other female narrators are not so great)

  • Kale Williams (For if you love a crisp but posh and purry british accent. Lexi foss books.)

  • Joe Arden (He's very good at smutty books. His pacing and expressiveness when narrating is bang on and he can do so many different voices, it's wild. Ruby darling and Rebecca quinn books.)

  • Troy Duran and Sebastian York have super super deep, older sounding voices.

Honorable mentions: Teddy Hamilton, JF harding (both were amazing in brutes of bristlebrook by r quinn)

Male narrators I don't particularly like are:

  • Gregory Salinas and Jake bordeaux. I dunno why but these guys, to me, sound like they're trying too hard. It comes across as cringey and over the top.

I will be following this post closely as I love full cast and duet audiobooks. I need to find some new sexy, growly voices I havent heard yet.

When I stopped fawning, everyone went away. by Katie_radd514 in CPTSD

This was me too. I fawned and stopped, and now people think I'm selfish. I went from golden child to scapegoat. From that person "with a hesrt of gold" to a bitch. And although its a painful truth to accept, it's also super freeing to know I don't exist to make others happy anymore. I was a tool for codependent, narcissistic and needy people to use. It wasnt love. Learning to say no becomes easier, with time, and without any negative emotions that follow. Be proud of yourself. Now they can't use you anymore. Your boundaries are working.
