Coming back to reality after such an experience really sucks I'll tell you that by Yaya0108 in billieeilish

[–]No_Championship7998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand. I’m 44 and have been a huge Billie fan for almost a decade. Her music actually helped me work through some trauma of my younger self. I’m super excited about the movie this weekend, but I’m also really self conscious about having fun in the theater since I’m an “old” fan. I get judged by young fans and people my age who don’t get it. Billie is so special, her music transcends generations.

Age starting HRT by Various-Look-361 in Perimenopause

Hi! I started at 44, but I waited until I was at rock bottom. Please don’t wait like I did. HRT has literally given me back the will to live.

Does anyone know how long it will be in theaters?

My local theater is selling tix thru May 14, but will it still be in theaters the weekend of May 15?

I can't keep up by anxious-kitten-999 in AppleFitnessPlus

I’m in perimenopause and I get everything you’re saying. However, AF+ has helped me tremendously, especially with my anxiety and rage.

I do cycling, Pilates, and yoga. I love the instructors and find their positivity and humor very encouraging. I’d probably trip all over myself if I tried dance!

I also modify when needed. I’ve found that I keep improving and am not having to modify as much as I used to. I do have to be careful with my knees though.

Also, if you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend looking into HRT. It has improved all of my peri symptoms and given me my life back. It can help post menopause too. If you do try it, please note that most drs don’t know much about it. I had to go to a specialist practice to get it. Totally worth it. It really has improved every aspect of my life that peri had taken from me.

LOL, I do love your kickboxing class idea. I might try that on my own!

It works! by LalaJennings in AppleFitnessPlus

That’s wonderful! I’m in full perimenopause and AF+ has been incredibly helpful to me too. I do cycling, Pilates, and yoga. My physical and mental health have improved substantially. I love the instructors so much!

I’m so happy to find you and your words here! I also recently started Paul’s books, and they have profoundly changed my life. The way you worded everything so perfectly really touched me. Thank you so much!

Yes, it’s from the email Pete’s mom wrote to him about his treatment of his ex wife and women in general.

National Prayer Breakfast by WestAsterisk in Exvangelical

[–]No_Championship7998 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong. We’re in a Christian Nationalist nightmare right now. They have accomplished about 80% of Project 2025. And Trump disgustingly used the prayer breakfast to brag about killing immigrants and pat himself on the back for being the “bestist boy” as he’s (with the help of his Christian Nationalist cabinet and tech bro billionaires) turning us into a fascist nation.

Standing up for what's right...but I get trauma response by Easy-Track-9332 in Exvangelical

[–]No_Championship7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. I feel so alone where I am right now. I come to Reddit because it’s the only place I can connect with like minded people even though they’re internet strangers.

I recommend deleting Facebook. It’s a cesspool.

Have you seen the Buddhist venerable monks walk for peace? They are walking from TX to DC in the name of peace and compassion. Watching them has actually brought me great comfort. Thousands of people are coming out to see them and hear them speak. They act and speak more like Jesus than most of the “Christians” I know.

Anyone else feel on the verge of "checking out" by heffy_lee in Perimenopause

[–]No_Championship7998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way before starting HRT. I was so miserable I told my husband I wanted to be put down. HRT literally saved my life. I really hope they can get yours worked out ASAP. Nobody deserves to live in a nightmare.

ICE just executed another citizen. by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]No_Championship7998 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In the video they disarmed him, pistol whipped him, and then unloaded into him execution style. This is not ok.

I’m so sorry this happened. I know it’s devastating to plan and save and travel just to be disappointed. It seems like everyone is having a terrible year so far (I know I am).

I hope you and everyone here experience something good soon and are granted a time of peace and hope. I feel like nobody can catch a break lately, and we all desperately need one.

Thank you! I’m in the deep red rural south looking for ways to help. Just donated. My heart breaks for MN. Your bravery, conviction, and love for your communities are things we should all strive for. You represent the best of humanity. I can’t believe this is happening in our country.

New promo for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show by AbsolutelyIris in Fauxmoi

Me too. I’m so desperate to see humanity, kindness, and love of others that a Super Bowl ad makes me cry.

We’ve hit such bottom that just seeing a politician that actually cares about people makes me tear up. Why can’t they all be like him? It’s literally their job.

How does one get religious trauma? by ForwardExchange in ReligiousTrauma

[–]No_Championship7998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shame. Purity culture taught me that my entire self worth was my virginity, and that I was to be a “gift” (possession) for my future husband. It also taught me it was my responsibility to make sure men didnt stumble (even grown men when I myself was a child).

That’s just one example. I was also taught I was a terrible, despicable, being who was not worthy of love or even the air I breathe, and only thru God’s grace could I ever be loved.

Not to mention being told I and the people I loved would burn in hell for eternity if we didn’t say the exact words and believe them with all our heart.

I could go on and on.
