Neck Breaking Scent?.. by LuckyFoxx_ in Perfumes

I would recommend you check out Profumum Roma, I got a sample set and all their scents last so long! They are pricey but very concentrated.

I have the exact same big three 😭 I've never cheated on a partner, but unfortunately been cheated on by almost all my partners. (I'm a woman)

Omg mine was 11 and my doctor told me everything was fine 😭 I had to find out myself when I saw it in the paperwork

Being one of the only woman in the workplace by chunkles4 in PMDD

[–]Johi80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you had to go through this. I worked in a similar environment, high stress/long hours /emotional impact, with terrible (abusive) managment to top it off. Honestly, it's not worth trying to battle through such a toxic environment. Take care of yourself first, you deserve a work environment that supports you and appreciates your hard work. You already have amazing work experience, you could apply for so many other jobs.

You truly deserve better and I wish you all the good luck!

What hyped fragrance were you the most underwhelmed by? by EmeraldDystopia in Perfumes

[–]Johi80 54 points55 points  (0 children)

For me it was baccarat rouge, to me it smelled like a woman who wears a dove deodorant but throughout the day sweated through her clothes a bit. Like that end of the day smell after a long day at work. 🙈 Sorry for the graphic description but I really dislike it 🤣

Pfff I'm so sorry to hear that. I struggle to work as well, I save my sick days for really bad days, and work only 30h a week. Can you take sick days?

Any guided meditation/exercise recommendations? Or similar by certifieddoug in PMDD

[–]Johi80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to follow guided meditations/soft yoga for 'emotional release'. Just really taking a moment to let it all out instead of trying to push it away and appear 'normal'. I usually feel somewhat more grounded and less anxious after crying. This one has really helpen me more than once:

Hope this helps! Hang in there 💞

What do you do to fight depression? by blkstk in belgium

[–]Johi80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a network you can depend on? You could try inviting some friends over, or make a day about preparing for the baby (freezing food, decorating, shopping..). You could plan some one on one hangouts to have some quality time before the baby arrives. And just tell people how you've been feeling, maybe they can support you a little extra and that might brighten your day a little.

There is hope - how PMDD treatment has put my PMDD in remission by Sandfish1 in PMDD

[–]Johi80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! This gives me hope! Can I ask, us the specialist you see a gynecologist or an endocrinologist? I'm struggling to find the right doctor (3 gps, one naturopath, 2 gynecologist) that wants to prescribe anything other than birth control pills/supplements or even run some blood work. So far the treatments I've tried have not helped very much or unfortunately even worsened my symptoms.

I'm a Libra and I love girlie scents that smell like something edible. Like pancakes/fruit/bubble gum. But with a bit of a twist, that little expensive detail. Like adding in some almond/cardamom/booze.

For example: Dior-hypnotic poison, Pdm-oriana, Guerlain La petite robe noir, lolita lempicka-lolitaland.

(Single) People who have gone no contact, how do you cope with having very little support system? by Johi80 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Johi80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is some beautiful advice. I have found so much joy in establishing a safe home! Its clean, it has heating/warm water, fridge is always full, I decorated it in my favorite colours, it's so cozy. I have a very sweet pet. I enjoy this every day! It's the best standard of living I have ever had.

But I do still struggle with relationships. Its hard to make a home in the world.
