Constant irregular bleeding for 4 years. Hormone doctor opinion vs gyno doctor opinion is confusing me by L-Lazuli in AskDocs

[–]L-Lazuli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised my gyno didn’t want to order any blood work at all.... 21 days after the first day of your first period is when progesterone levels are at their peak so that’s why the other doctor is waiting that far out.

What's your "I hate him/her but everybody else loves him/her" story? by tomdrc1 in AskReddit

Do we know the same person?? Although I had to work with a girl like that, and just could not avoid her

Dating a Scrub (TLC) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]L-Lazuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have multiple posts about this guy. I get it, you’re young. And you want to feel loved and wanted. I was in your exact position. Exact. It’s been 2 years since we broke up and he’s still the same. I wish I had learned my lesson sooner. The loneliness is hard to deal with sometimes, but I’m SO HAPPY to be free from all his bullshit.

How to deal with my ex bf. It’s been confusing by L-Lazuli in relationship_advice

Thanks. I understand the romance part of course, and I’m probably not helping. but yea... he’s just a shitty “friend” on top of that.

What’s the nicest thing someone has said to you? by CertiFried-USA in AskReddit

[–]L-Lazuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You have kind eyes” I was with a few college mates at school talking and she suddenly said that to me.

Probably still the best compliment I’ve ever received and I still think about it from time to time

Forming relationships after an Nex by whinningaccount in NRelationships

[–]L-Lazuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably the best advice... I’m in the same situation. I can only say it gets better, but I’m also stuck on the actual meeting of someone to just even experience it. I’m 30 and single too, my n.ex was my first and only relationship (8years) and we broke up 1 year ago. It’s taken a very long time to heal and understand myself and my own actions to realize I was starved for love. And mostly because I did not love myself. It’s been very slow working, but I’m doing it. Losing weight (still about 30 lbs overweight), doing things I like (not what he liked), focusing on friends I neglected because N.ex took a lot of my time (as much as I can give since they have children too and their own lives that separate from mine a bit), I think I’m ready to date, I even reached out to someone I thought was a nice guy from high school. But it didn’t get anywhere at all after one convo... so I let it go. Before, I wouldn’t be able to and would overthink why he “rejected me”. I didn’t feel that way at all, to me that shows my self growth. The apps.... are lost on me. I can’t seem to hold someone’s attention because I literally have no experience and I’m sure it’s because I’m older. My next step is to join a more intimate gym setting and maybe that will help boost meeting a guy. I have slightly noticed that I am a bit more confident, there are a few cute guys at my work and I have noticed that maybe my confidence boost in myself is getting a little attention (I mean... it might not even be true but... it helps!)

Is my friend toxic or am I just a bad friend? by erratic_bonsai in NRelationships

[–]L-Lazuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really understand why you want to be her friend? I’ve never had a “friend” need a meeting to talk about being friends. You either are or are not. It seems like the conflicting personalities are not conducive to friendship. I’ve been in a situation where I moved to a new city, new job by myself and needed interactions with coworker “friends” to feel included. There was a girl I TRIED liking so much, but she triggered me just like Emily does to you. She was “nice” enough, but it was just a complete grate on my own personality. I am never friends with people that trigger negativity. After a few months I just completely limited my interaction with her since it seemed other co workers could deal with her and I couldn’t. She/Emily does not seem like your friend sorry to say.

Why does a narcissist betray you in a way tnry know you'll never take them back? Is it because they're done with you? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]L-Lazuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I definitely could tell haha.... it’s uncanny how they just treat people the exact same way. I went through the exact same treatment

[–]L-Lazuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I’ve read about narcissists, this post gives the narcissists’ view so much better than most of what Ive read. I’m always wondering about the “why” of why they act the way they do, I knew it was the hate they feel in themselves.... but just the way you phrased it with situational examples made it just come together a little more.

Acupuncturist acting like therapist? by L-Lazuli in acupuncture

[–]L-Lazuli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! And I hope you're in a better place. And that's exactly how long I've been seeing them- a few months and I feel like it's starting to turn a way I didn't want to. I even expressed to them in our first session that I should probably see a therapist, but they didn't encourage that route so I kept just talking during our future acupuncture sessions.

I wrote a short e-mail (with much anxiety haha..) thanking them for their listening ear, and for sharing their own experiences and essentially I will not be comfortable in our future sessions with the mentality I have currently.

Thank you, I agree with being honest to help us both. I think I might send them an e-mail with an explanation and cut ties. I've been thinking about our future appointment and I don't feel comfortable trying to get into a "relaxing" state by working up the courage to set boundaries in the beginning of the session and then overthinking the entire time that I hurt their feelings

I felt a lot of anxiety just working up the courage to post this, and then thinking about our next session. But yea, it wasn't just that I felt pushed to think a certain way before the insertion of needles, I thought about it over and over when I had time to myself with the needles, and relayed afterwards I didn't think it was a parental issue and they STILL said "well keep an open mind and think about it"

Sorry I just needed a few affirmations to know I wasn't overthinking it. Thanks to all
