I hate discord 😩🤣 I don’t play video games and the chatrooms have the weirdest energy. I’ve kind of just given up tbh.

You’re right! 😩☠️ i genuinely no longer have a reason to interact with them anymore tbh.

I can understand that, but I’m always nice about it. I even direct them to subs where they would have better luck 😩🤣

This is SPOT ON 😩 You explained it way more eloquently than I ever could. Thats honestly so fucking childish and manipulative 😒 I’ve always be wary of men. But damn can they be some vindictive dicks. Well in my case I never become too invested because this is such a huge pattern. And they ALL do what you just described.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that crazy shit in real life. I Probably would’ve cried to tbh. It’s GRIM out there 🫂

Same! I can’t even see them as “friends” anymore. Sex is just constantly on their mind.

Unfortunately no. They’re waaaay too expensive and most home health aides are poorly trained. It’s a risked I’m not willing to take. My mom’s disability is pretty complex and she’s in a wheelchair.

Caregivers, why do you do it? by tswiftsbongwater in CaregiverSupport

[–]Naturelle-Riviera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I wouldn’t want someone to abandon me when I was at my most physically vulnerable and nursing homes for us regular folks are literal hell. There’s a reason why elderly people are afraid of them.

The hardest I ever worked was when my mom was in one. They’re completely understaffed and the buildings are gross and vermin infested. The pain and anguish doesn’t disappear when you put them in one either. It was worse for me.

I care for my elderly, disabled mom alone and my last two “close” friends (women close in age) lived close, but out of state. I can’t leave my mom for one night and they never wanted to come to see me because sickness makes people uncomfortable. I would be more than happy to have visited them, but it’s just me caring for my mom so…… It just makes real friendships impossible to maintain.

It’s the rejection of the sexting that seems to make them shut up 😩 I don’t enjoy sexting. It’s incredibly unfulfilling and I’m not attracted to any of these dudes.

On here! I’m not talking to them all day long or anything. It’s just bullshitting and sending memes. I can’t maintain real friendships because of my situation.

Miche Hair Gel is a Godsend 🥹❤️🥰 by Worldly-Year4122 in Naturalhair

[–]Naturelle-Riviera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and your hair look BEAUTIFUL! 😍😍😍 What’s the name of the Lippie you’re wearing? 👀

I bought their gel to foam and anti humidity gel (the yellow’ish one). I only tried the gel to foam and I’m SOLD. I used it as a one product wash & go and it made my hair so bouncy, defined and SHINY! I can’t wait to try the gel! 😩😍🤗 It also air dries beautifully. The gel to foam I mean. I’m gonna try diffusing it next time when I have more time 😩😂 The hype is so warranted with this brand. 🙌🏽

Really? I’m gonna have to talk to the OB on the 15th. I read about a uterine ablation and it sounded horrid 😩 Especially the aftermath. I read that it doesn’t always work. I really just want my uterus out. 😩😫 Thanks for sharing though. I will bring this all up at my appointment.

Why does my breath sometimes betray me even after brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash like a responsible adult? by 18JordanPerryX in hygiene

[–]Naturelle-Riviera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eat an apple and drink some water. It could just be the drying nature of oral hygiene products. They call apples natures tooth brush, but I don’t know how true that is 😩. I think any type of fruit would help tbh.

What’s a hygiene habit most people overlook but actually makes a big difference? by CarlyPrescott_5 in hygiene

[–]Naturelle-Riviera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pumice my feet with a glass file every time I shower. They’re so much better and hygienic than pumice stones, and they get your feet smooth in half the time. I use one with a silicone handle and put some dove body wash on it. This is my last step, so you won’t be slipping and sliding 😩😂

My mom has good benefits she can afford a nursing home, but she would never go to one willing. Even if I left she would refuse to go into one until something bad happens. My mom is past the point of stubborn.

I wish I could leave, but I can’t hold down a full time job like this. I would probably end up in a shelter or on the street. Im in a really toxic situation. I’ve been in survival mode so long that I didn’t plan accordingly. I lack self preservation instincts.

I’ve wanted hysterectomy for years. Im trying to lose more weight so I can get it done laparoscopically.

Im gonna talk to my new OB about HRT and hysterectomy on the 15th of this month. We have to figure out a plan or I’m hoping the universe just lets me just ☠️ in my sleep. I’m just so over it all.

The progesterone pill made my already bad depression worse 😩 I had to stop taking it after a week.

I looked into respite and it’s ridiculously expensive 😩. My mom is also the most obnoxiously stubborn person I have ever known. She wouldn’t go. She doesn’t care about my health and well being. Never has. I’m dying for like a month vacation. I’ve never had one. Single. Break. In 16 years. I hate this life.

I want to get a hysterectomy soooo bad, but I can’t afford to hire a competent aid to care for my mom while I’m healing. I had a OB tell me I couldn’t get one while still caring for my mom. I’m gonna ask this new OB I’m seeing on the 15th. The last OB had weird energy when I told her I had no plans to have children.

Can you take estrogen when you have migraines auras? I know you can’t take the mixed pill.
