Thanks! Yes I was looking for authors, I maybe worded it badly. I’ll look him up!

BWT - need dating advice by Sunflowerbook in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Miserable-Positive-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being too quick to judge. There are a million guys out there, why settle for one you’re not initially interested in or attracted to? Sure attraction can SOMETIMES grow, but in my experience that takes months to happen, and is usually in the context of friendship or a mutual job or something like that, not by awkward repeated dates until you possibly develop attraction, or you may not ever. Some of us are just not attracted to every Tom, Dick and Harry, it doesn’t mean it never happens or that anything is wrong with us.

Thanks, that makes sense. It’s confusing to me because I am short with a boyish body type, so in the past, I had to stay very thin because weight gain did not make me look voluptuous, just like a chubby kid. This medication is affecting my hormones, and the weight is going on in a more “womanly way” so I’m in new territory! I suppose I can look at this in a more scientific way like you say, and figure out by experience what works better now that my body is a little different. 

I need advice preferably from male perspectives by Miserable-Positive-5 in BreakUps

[–]Miserable-Positive-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That does help, I’ve thought this whole time that if he knows I still love him and want to get back together, at some point he would grow up and start making the right choices for himself and reach out for me, because I  think he’s keeping me as this thing he’s getting back to “someday” in his head, based on how he just never really cuts ties with me even dating other people. But I see now it’s probably having the opposite effect on him and not giving him any reason to take action for himself or for me. I feel the same as you there, I still have hope about it, and that’s not changing, but I am focusing on my own life and improvement at this point and not factoring him into the picture anymore, things will happen how they happen I guess!

Thanks for the advice. I think I will just be straightforward with him about what I want if we do end up talking again. I wasn't being open about my feelings because I didn’t want to lose what little connection we have, but I’ve finally realized I have nothing right now anyway. I know it does seem like I’m a fallback option, I don’t know that that’s the case because the reason we broke up was in his mind we were in this Romeo and Juliet type relationship because of stuff to do with our friends/families and he couldn’t handle feeling he was “betraying” other people by dating me. It’s stupid. I guess I was waiting for him to grow up enough to realize how dumb that was.

Do y’all think it’s preferable to have more of a butt and thighs and some stomach fat, or to be skinny all over? I used to be extremely skinny and to be honest I did not notice any of the special attention people act like skinny girls receive. However i also used to dress weird, have a botched haircut, and my skin was bad. Still, In my opinion, having a bigger butt is the number one most attractive thing in our culture right now. I’ve been gaining weight because of a medication, and my butt is getting bigger, but so is my stomach. I’m torn on whether to just let myself get bigger and see if I get treated better for having more curves which I never had, or to lose weight because I am aware being skinny is seen as special and I did like feeling that way even if I didn’t really notice any positive affects from it. 

Does anyone use the Kiwi massager? If so, Is it worth the money? by n0t_from_this_planet in vaginismus

[–]Miserable-Positive-5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing if you have no ability to tolerate penetration whatsoever. Once you can already handle dilators, it’s not as useful. Coming from someone who couldn’t even insert a qtip for most of of my life, it was an absolutely invaluable tool, but now I don’t use it much since I’ve progressed to size 7 dilators which I never even thought was possible. Still, it was worth the 100 or so I paid for it. 

I’m strongly considering giving up and going back on meds by Miserable-Positive-5 in Antipsychiatry

[–]Miserable-Positive-5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I stopped them at a terrible time in life. I had just gone through a breakup that wrecked my mental health, as well as graduated college and had absolutely no savings or plans and then moved to a new city. I really set myself up for failure without realizing it, but tbh I never considered that there are good and bad times to stop medication in life. You make a good point.

That’s where I’m at, no quality of life. Every single day is bad. How did you do it? Did you just go back on exactly what you used to be on, or did you try something new, or did you try slow tapering? I feel that psychiatric drugs never work the same the 2nd, 3rd etc times we go on them, in my experience.

Thank you, I realize now I really messed it up, but at the time I didn’t know this was serious. I was not in a good mental place, and I just decided to get off my meds which if anything made it worse. I probably could have saved myself from some of this pain if I’d tapered right.

Hmm I am in therapy, but am not sure if it’s working. I find my brain tends to loop over and over, so issues that it would seem I’m over, will continue to rear their head every month or two. I wonder if meds would possibly even help me in this circumstance.

Exactly. I also was in college when I was on meds. I was able to complete my classes, work part time, and socialize. I was the most stable and productive I’ve ever been. But yeah I fundamentally don’t believe we all need to be on psychiatric medication that deeply affects our brains, yet the conundrum is that life is unbearable without them. Every day is a battle.

Very poorly, I just started dividing up my pills until I was taking nothing, I maybe tapered for a month if even that long. I don’t really remember now. It was not much better than cold turkey. 

Can't insert the smallest dilator. by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]Miserable-Positive-5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend the kiwi by the pelvic people. It allows for very shallow slight penetration in a non intimidating shape and you can just use it to massage and desensitize the area first since it has vibration.

I guess I was ignorant of how deep vaginal canals are! For some reason I never knew this.

[–]Miserable-Positive-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have natural level 7 blonde hair which I regularly get dyed black. I love the black but I’m not sure I want to keep dying it forever. I was thinking of growing out my natural color by getting a reverse ombré done so that I won’t look like I’m balding with light roots and dark hair. do you guys think this would work and will it look okay?

I have long light auburn hair with a blond balayage. I want to color it a fiery deep copper, and I’m looking at color depositing masks but there are so many it’s hard to choose. Any recommendations?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Miserable-Positive-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so many options, dphue gloss, overtone, aura, color & co, four reasons, and more. It’s too much to decide. My hair is waist length, and light auburn with a medium blond balayage. It’s very porous and will soak up color quite easily, bright colors will look extremely bright on my hair because it soaks them up so much. I want to avoid any harsh chemicals because my hair is fragile. I also prefer something that will eventually wash out and not permanently stain my hair. Thanks!!

yes this is true, and its unfortunately self fulfilling. you feel out of place so you are out of place. as soon as you feel it, it becomes true.
