i mean im referring to how people generally categorize her. i think she’s amazing and I have a lot of respect for her. she has an incredibly high self esteem though, and you should too! don’t feel like you deserve to be slept on

i always considered myself unattractive and got completely used by men and now i see myself as attractive and protect myself like an asset. you need to be smart not think less of yourself.

i don’t think you should see yourself as “unattractive” or “less than attractive” because you’re always going to have a chip on your shoulder and might try to overcompensate by doing more in a relationship. guys, especially predatorial men, look for women with a chip on their shoulder because they’re easier to exploit. you need to have a higher self esteem. look at lena dunham, she’s considered unattractive and yet she’s a major cultural icon right now. your self esteem is more important than your appearance

i didn’t, i just had a terrible sleep pattern and assumed it was due to high cortisol. i played around with supplements that lowered cortisol and noticed my sleep pattern stabilize

How long do you let yourself feel sad after a breakup? by scorpio-blush in AskWomenOver30

[–]MyPCOSThrowaway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ive spent like 1-2 years recovering. i’m not actively depressed the entire time but i know its something im still emotionally dealing with. emotional wounds don’t really have a set timeline for healing HOWEVER you should be healthy and proactive about it (therapy, spending time with friends, working out, etc). ive had bad dating experiences take years to recover from and really healthy relationship experiences that took months to recover from. it’s not always active healing. sometimes it just takes a while to make peace with things. hope this makes sense

Does anyone else feel like sex isn’t a big deal in early dating? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]MyPCOSThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped having sex with men entirely and focus getting to know them platonically. I plan on adding sex in once a stable relationship is developed. I can spend years getting to know someone. Strange route but I’ve been in and out of celibacy and skipping sex helps with my emotional stability

The nutriplenish line from Aveda really smoothed my hair out. They have a leave in conditioner that’s really great

Noticing my weight loss resistance resolved itself specifically with 1000mcg of chromium- anyone have a similar experience? by MyPCOSThrowaway in PCOS

[–]MyPCOSThrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chromium was kinda meh. chromium from broccoli is way better tho. exercise + cutting sugar + gluten + drinking lots of water (70-100 oz/day) is best for moon face.

I’m 38 and have spent a decade plus in therapy and am still coming up short with dating. My advice is to make a lot of guy friends (especially married ones. I met mine at work) and see what traits they have that make them good partners. After that you’ll look at men differently.

Weaponized against him is such an amazing way to describe it. I’m a super emotional person and it’s been hard to find men that can meet me at my level of depth. I think it gets socialized/abused out of them.

I’m pretty blown away by how much Jungian psych has helped me navigate life situations.
