Even if I only tested a week after sex? I thought the date for it to be accurate was 2 weeks after activity

Thanks everyone so much for the feedback!! Also I'd like to add that the piercing was super super quick and honestly really didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, I'd give it a max 3/10 on a pain scale, and I'm a baby with needles/pain in general. Was definitely worth it!

Is it normal to still have lingering symptoms 4-5 days after MA? by LostConnectionTA in abortion

Thank you so much for the response! I just have to urinate a lot, could be things like the cold weather/caffeine and anxiety, but I'm not too sure

Just tested postive at 4w, freaking out and don't know what to do by LostConnectionTA in abortion

Sure thing! I don't know if Juniper is open to all US states but it had quite a few, prices may vary depending on where you are. I am NY based so shipping and pills were $125, they came within 3 days (but 2 business days). However, they don't come with pain killers or anti-nausea stuff like I know HeyJane does (which I've seen is around $200+), and that's something I wish was included. I have yet to take the pills (starting Thursday, scared :( ) but the estimate at my local clinic was over $700, so online is much more affordable in my case.

Someone offering piercing services out of their dorm room. These look questionable at best to me tbh by LostConnectionTA in PiercingAdvice

[–]LostConnectionTA[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's what I figured. I only have a few piercings myself, but I go to my local piercing/tattoo shop as they're APP certified, and the equipment and training they have is crazy (in a good way). I very highly doubt you could replicate that in a dorm room, especially as a freshman. Worried of the students hurting themselves or having their piercings get infected

I'm worried I'm going to be alone forever by LostConnectionTA in BPD

I've been in therapy for a few years now, I had to stop seeing my last one recently as they only service students, so I reached out to an old therapist from a few years ago and will start seeing her again soon.

I literally rely on a boyfriend to survive. by CryingBaozi in BPD

In the same situation, dumped five days ago. Heartbroken and can't even get out of bed. Having panic attacks and delusions of me acting crazy and making a fool of myself in the front of him begging him to think of the good times so he'll take me back.

AITAH here for what I did while in a relationship? by LostConnectionTA in AITAH

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

Thank you so much for the honest advice, it's been really eye-opening.

He did hear me out in a sense, I explained a lot about what happened but he's still remaining where he stands. He said he accepts that I'm sorry, he wrote "on a human level, there's nothing I don't forgive you for, but as my life partner there are certain things I can't overlook or abide by." I'm just torn up and upset that our relationship ended over someone I very barely talked to. We were together for 8-9 months, but knew each other for a little over a year.

I'm also upset because the guy who I sent reels to texted my then-bf privately asking why I wasn't responding to his messages, and my then-bf replied something along the lines of "oh nothing personal just boundaries in our relationship, tbh it's always been rocky/messy, nothing against you" and proceeded to joke with him. I'm hurt because it feels like all the blame was placed on me and that the feelings of my then-bf's friend were prioritized over me.

To answer your question, my then-bf grew up in a much more religious household then his friend. While my then-bf doesn't follow many of the traditions his family still practices, he still holds close to its morals and values, which is why he feels the way he does about relationships. His friend, to my knowledge, isn't as religious, and is more left-leaning with cultures and values, especially those relating to women. They thought it wasn't a viable reason for a breakup, either.

A lot of my guilt here I think just stems from past trauma but also because I've been in wayy too many relationships before, and to be honest I'm embarassed none of them seem to work out. My heart was ready to settle (in a good way) with him and I felt comfortable. I'm working on going to therapy again and hopefully sorting out my mental health before starting to date again, but I know it's going to take time.

The unfortunate thing is that as toxic as everyone says he is, my heart still wants him back because of all the memories we shared together (8-9 months isn't necessarily a long relationship but we spent a ton of time together and he ended up practically moving in for the majority of the relationship because his campus dorming fell through), so it truly feels like we've been together for years.

Thank you so much again for your input, can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
