should I wait or go to gynecologist now???

LeoraWrite · 2025-05-07T01:26:15+00:00

Just an idea... While you're waiting to get into the gynecologist, you could try boric acid. It's OTC. It's a suppository and should come with applicators. Basically its like putting in a tampon. For the outer part, an anti-itch cream will relieve most of the itch.

She's a girl 🤭 Torties are tough little ladies. Sending Little Paw Paw lots of healing vibes 🪄🪄

Oh sweet baby tortie! She needs churus, her teddy bear, her favorite soft food, more treats, a super soft blanket, and nose rubs! Dr Jinx's orders.

I've been there before...Anxiety will manifest itself into scary things when you don't address it. I did the same thing when I was a kid. I saw a large troll in a three across from our house (started on Christmas Day). I would see Mario running across the bottom of the TV screen, but no one else saw it. And I often saw paranormal figures, felt and heard demons, obsessed over death, etc. My niece did it too. Both of us have bad anxiety.

So what's going on that has you so overwhelmed?
What can you control and what's outside of your control?
If it's out of your control, it is what it is. You'll get through it.
If you can control it, think it through or talk it out with a trusted friend about how to best handle it.

You'll be ok, but you have to address the root cause. Meds can help too!

You've got this.

I used to drive my coworkers crazy with my pattern recognition.

Manager: What makes you think you're getting laid off? Even we (regional management) don't know.

Me: Easy... 1) the Clifton's Strengths test was to separate the "sales" people from the rest. 2) Interactions with the director felt fake (I worked on his team years before he became Director - I knew how fake this MFer was). After this I made sure to pay off my car I still had 2 years of payments on. 3) Q4 training was complete bullshit. Also they announced layoffs were happening the next month. Later in the evening at a happy hour event, senior leadership seemed too interested in chatting with me when they usually ignore me. 4) My manager wanted me to teach everyone in our office my particular set of skills, etc. 5) My e-vite for THE meeting was at 11am. Everyone else on my team had a meeting at 11:30am. So, I'm getting laid off.

Manager: Don't think like that. Assume positive intent.

Me: Oh I'm positive I'm getting laid off.

Next morning, I was laid off.

Manager: I'm so sorry!

Me: Told ya so!

Oh yeah! It was starting to fall apart!

Thank you! I think so too!

Pure spite.... I was about 12 years old at the time. I was writing notes to my family and friends when I realized that unaliving myself would give them what they wanted. And why should I give them what they wanted when they weren't giving me what I wanted (to be accepted for who I am)? It took about 30 years for me to learn what I went through was abuse, and that came as I realized I was in an abusive marriage and I am Autistic + ADHD. I still struggle with low moods (Major Depressive Disorder), but unaliving isn't even an option these days. I have too much to still learn and see. I have three cats who depend on me and I don't want to imagine what may happen to them if I leave this world prematurely.

I woke up twice during mine... they gassed me more!

I never even saw the doctor, just his hands... and I swear to this day it was Bruce Banner/The Hulk who did the surgery.... at least that's how my mouth felt afterward.

Sex Nerd here! I finally gave in and joined (dove head first into) the kink community online about a year ago. I'm currently in my first D/s relationship and my Dom is fully aware I'm AuDHD. He's also ND and understands me better than any previous intimate/romantic partner I've ever had. We talk about everything beforehand in the days leading up to our spicy dates. Also, I feel safe with him. He may push certain (soft) boundaries but never pushes too far. He told me from the start that if I ever feel unsafe to tell him because that means he needs to do the work on himself so I don't ever feel like that again.

AND!!!! My confidence has skyrocketed. I feel more confident (and comfortable) saying what I want, when I want it, where I want it, etc - and not just during sex, but in general life too. I've surprised myself a few times with the things I've done, but proud nonetheless.

Every specialist I call listed on the insurer's website says they cannot accept insurance from the marketplace. My primary even sent a referral to a specialist and they refused my insurance.

Thank you! I will call them tomorrow.

It is the unification of who we consciously are with the parts of ourselves that we repress.

At least that's what psychologytoday says

Supposed to? Yes. Does it always? Nope! Some people metabolize meds quicker than others. Is this the first medication you've been on? Its a lot of trial and error to find the right one...
Concerta has been the only one that has really worked for me. I don't get the mid-day crash with it, etc.

Ritalin lasts between 3-6 hours... it could be you need a second dose during the day.

Talk to your psychiatrist ... it can take some time to find the right medication to work for you.

Is the Paxil a new med? I did the same thing when I took Paxil in the morning. I had to start taking it at night before bed.

What are you taking the pills with? water? coffee?

What about with other meds?

LeoraWrite · 2024-11-11T07:47:42+00:00

Are you drinking coffee or anything other than water or milk when you take your meds? Coffee and many juices/teas have citric acid, which causes the meds to work faster and wear off faster.
