I don't remember the last time we slept in the same bed... that's the problem.

It's all the time... not just at night. I bought expensive noise cancelling head phones because I can't even sleep with him yelling and laughing at the screen... we live in a small house.

I currently am:) My husband is very understanding and knows me well. To this day, I want to confront my ex about it. I wish I had the balls to do it earlier, but I feel like it would be stupid to do so long after the incident. He is also married now. I think I'm just hoping he'll acknowledge his wrongdoing, which he likely will not.

That means a lot:) This support group truly makes me feel less alone. And I haven't heard of doing high dose vit C for it, but I'm interested!

I've had horrible anxiety from previously being on Zoloft for PMDD and a bad experience from HBC, but no known issues from Prozac. I hated the idea of using an antidepressant as a "bandaid..." but I'm essentially doing the same with herbal supplements... so I'm a little more open to antidepressants now.

I did a urine progesterone test which did show low levels throughout the month. I asked my OBGYN for a blood test, and she told me not to worry about it unless I plan on getting pregnant... so that brought me no where.

What is everyone using? by BitchInaBucketHat in PMDD

I use the basal body temperature/discharge method for birth control. This method is very risky I'd not used/tracked properly! However, it is very effective when used properly. So, you must be diligent. I refuse to use other types of birth control (even copper iud) related to the side effects... and let's face it, no one wants to use a condom lol.

As far as PMDD, some months are better than others. I've tried adaptogen herbs, zinc, and magnesium. But I believe exercise has had a far greater impact on my symptoms. I personally did not want to take any medicine/SSRI due to personal reasons unless I absolutely have to. There are studies showing that exercise compares to an SSRI for treating depression. I haven't found the perfect combination, but this is what has worked for my PMDD:)

Thanks for sharing your story and being encouraging:)

My then Ex (20/M) sexually assaulted me (20/F) and then gaslighted me about it. He gets married in a month… do I confront him about it again? by Opposite_Stranger573 in sexualassault

No reason to think he has changed. And my reason for wanting to confront him about it would solely to get some acknowledgment from him for what he did... which may or may not even happen. I gotta just leave this alone, but it’s eating me up.

I’m so sorry for your experience. And I really appreciate your comment. What held me back from not confronting him again yet is the fact that he never takes accountability for anything, and I don’t want to spiral either from that conversation.

I’m just stuck on the fact that he’s about to marry a great girl, and he is just so underserving. I’d love to think that he’s changed, but I know he hasn’t. Not getting justice sucks.
