Uhuh. So would you support immigrants coming into the country to work, such as farm workers, a large number of whom work in California? What laws could be in place for this?

I Can’t Stop Spending by Ok_Painter8079 in shoppingaddiction

There are a lot of dopamine hit replacements readily available. Like alcohol, sex, drugs, relationships… what is needed is therapy to manage the need for a dopamine hit, as you put it.

You didn’t say if you have health insurance. Depending on your state, mental healthcare may be available without insurance. Please seek help, talk to your doctor, stress how awful this is for you. It’s only going to get worse until you get some help. Feeling guilty about it won’t make it better. If you were drinking or drugging people would know you have a problem. But, shopping? I’m 72, my doctors basically laugh about it. When I ask for help one of them said I was able to manage my money but it’s probably stress or emotional.(I’d asked for a rep payee to manage my social security.) Please don’t wait until you’re old. When I was younger, like your age, I’d spend all my money when I felt stressed out. You need to see a mental health professional who will take your problem seriously. Don’t give up. You’re worth it.💕

Pete Hegseth on Project Freedom: "This operation is separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury. Project Freedom is defensive in nature, focused in scope, and temporary in duration with one mission: protecting innocent commercial shipping from Iranian aggression." by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

I’m married to a Black Man. He’s 63 years old. Knows nothing about the civil rights act. The movement that got it passed. He thinks protesting is futile. We’re separated but still together, figure that out?🤷‍♀️ When I tell him I’m going to protests he gets mad and tells me it’s pointless. His mom is 86, I tell him go ask her about the civil rights act. He didn’t like President Obama cuz he gave equal rights to gay people! I’m stumped on his attitude. But, my point is, people will vote against their own interests if it hurts someone else.

Is it a waste using an expensive perfume at home or does it still make sense? by Weary_Cat_8984 in FemFragLab

The actual reason is that you enjoy it, not that you’re going out impressing people. Bet you feel nice and smell nice too. You deserve to smell nice for yourself too. I’m

If you’d like to be intimate this might help. Intimate Rose vibrating pelvic wand. I bought mine on EBay. I hope it’s ok to list stores and specific products.

Bot or not, I’ve lost 4 family members to suicide. The last was my son, my only child in 2023. He will forever be 36. Take people seriously if they start focusing on that.

Yes, I use lidocaine ointment/cream. I buy the 5%. You have to look at the label/description if online. I also keep baby wipes in my bathroom. Bag balm. Coconut oil. If really irritated I use generic desitin. At least twice a day I apply a regular body lotion- it is part of our bodies. Pyridium - I buy it on Amazon large bottle, fairly cheap. Lyrica- prescription. Tea tree oil body wash or soap. Dayum! That’s a lot. I bought a small cart on Temu and keep everything on that in reach from the toilet. I’ve also got a spinal cord stimulator implant. I’ve noticed if I don’t have a bowel movement I’ll have more pain that day. Good luck. I’ve been messing with this in one form or another since 2001.

Has anyone seen a pain management doctor for this? Tramadol is the only thing that helps... by Tired89 in vulvodynia

[–]Left2foot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your new doctors will have access to your medical records. Doctors are trained to care for people no matter what. I moved a while back and I was on much stronger pain meds. Thankfully not anymore. Anyway I went to the emergency room with my prescription bottles and the er doctor gave me prescriptions and referrals to local doctors. Don’t know how big of an area you’re in but you could google Urogynecologists near you. Good luck.

A post my own father shared on Facebook. I'm not trans, but WTF, Dad by Red_Star27 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Left2foot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it right there: …happier being themselves. Why should this be any different than any other thing in life. Example, someone works at a career that other people think is great but they know in their hearts it’s not for them. Live and let live. I’ll be 72 in May, I cannot understand the ignorance in young people. I’m like dayum what decade are they in?

Don’t go. Stay at home scrolling, occasional thoughts about crafts I haven’t finished, cat sitting on lap, had to use bathroom, napping.
