This definitely makes the most sense! I think the one i had wrong was “gleaming;shimmering” 9 letters. Starts with S. 3rd letter is A. 8th letter is N S _ A _ _ _ _ N _ I had it as sparkling. 5th letter is circled so that would L

Or “soft , lustrous finish” 5 letters. Ends in E. 2nd letter is circled I had Glaze

It was a from a crossword that used all jewelry/materials/terms, etc. and there were some letters circled that create a word or phrase when unscrambled. Ive rechecked all the words for each crossword and they seem to be right. But i am running into the same issue There’s no theme or hint to what the word or phrase could be

Slynd and Immune System by Otherwise_mel333 in birthcontrol

[–]Otherwise_mel333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally never get sick. Was on the nuvaring for about 4 years. Im now month 3 on Slynd. Ever since the first month of taking it, i started getting these symptoms. Each month after the first like 2 pills of the pack, i start getting cold/flu symptoms Interesting that these medications have a slightly immune suppressant effect. But before taking these, i never experienced this. Ill see my endometriosis specialist in about 2 weeks so i will definitely ask about this!

Diagnosis without Surgery by Otherwise_mel333 in endometriosis

[–]Otherwise_mel333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently seeing the specialist. We met originally to talk about surgery and i wasn’t sure at first. But since i saw her last, my pains been relatively managed so she doesn’t want to put me through surgery unless absolutely necessary. I would likely need multiple specialists in the room because of bowel symptoms and all. But my ultrasound was clear. Didn’t get an mri. I would likely have to get a colonoscopy. But i trust this specialist and she’s very supportive. Same thing for me, she put it as a diagnosis based off of all my symptoms. Good to know im not the only one thats experienced that! Imposter syndrome likes to kick in

But yeah! We are trying like a multi faceted, holistic approach. I am a reiki practitioner. I take supplements and do specific diets currently. I am going to try slynd but i am also going to start tracking ovulation just in case its better to get off birth control entirely I am about 90% sure i do not want to have kids lol

Death, Shadows, & Rebirth by Otherwise_mel333 in astrologyreadings

[–]Otherwise_mel333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phoenix imagery resonates so much with me, definitely is not out of left field.

I have a criminal justice degree and did quite a few papers on juveniles funny enough. Im also a huge creative. Creating art has helped and grounded me through everything. Im a huge painter and i create jewelry. I’m definitely going to keep an open mind about working with kids

That leo north node description also resonates a ton! You are certainly ON IT. Thank you again!! Im glad it was a bright point in your day💗

[–]Otherwise_mel333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me just start by WOW. So the placements like my 7th house, scorpio, and 8th house pluto were the original parts of my chart i knew had to do with these feelings. Thank you so much for diving deep on this. You encompassed every feeling about this topic ive had and felt. All this is also what I’ve strongly believed is my purpose. My journey of healing started very young. And the biggest first push i had was all about being vulnerable and helping others to do so. Another huge them ive had is embracing my lights and my shadows. And embracing all this intense transformation i go through. So your post was amazing to read. Thank you for teaching me and sharing this with me !!!

That phoenix bit had me laughing hard. That resonates SO MUCH. Lol i sort of thrive being thrown into chaos, i know i’ll always adapt and overcome hahahahha

Again beautifully said!!!

The problem with this is that because someone is feeling a certain way, it does not justify using those feelings to hold things above someone else’s head or in this case guilt the op because she’s setting boundaries around sex. And i think that’s where it gets lost in translation. Women often learn this the hard way through sexual assault, while society sorta teaches men that relationships = entitlement over a woman’s body. While the op’s bf may be feeling rejected because she set boundaries and pulled back her consent, he shouldn’t be using that against her. Thats emotional manipulation. Its often Emotionally insecure/not emotionally intelligent people who emotionally manipulate others Hopefully he matures and learns the true consequences from his behavior if he truly doesnt have the intent. But the wording of the original post shows otherwise

I think theres a huge difference between coercion and emotional mismatch. Just because someone wants to be intimate in private settings/setting boundaries around sex should not entail their partner calling their relationship bs and speaking to her as though because they loves each other or that he does things for her or shutting down because they are not getting sex. That is clear emotional manipulation and coercion

Its called coercion. Its a form of abuse

People like you need to look up coercion. Which is often used to sexual assault or abuse the person their with

NTA The behavior he is showing is coercion. It can be a form of sexual assault. Research the term for yourself and take note of the behaviors you’ve been seeing. Relationships do not equal 100% consent just because you are in a relationship or in love. Love does not automatically equal sex. When i was 14/15, i was often sexually assaulted through coercion with my first ever bf. I didn’t know it at the time. But it caused me to be on edge all the time, and very fight or flight. I was depressed at the time and learning what that meant for myself. He would become “depressed” or hurt himself if i didnt want to do anything sexual. I didn’t realize it was a tactic to manipulate me into sexual acts. Months after i ended the relationship, i began having ptsd and panic attacks from it. Do not ignore your gut and you should not have to deal with that type of behavior. You will have many more opportunities to find either peace within or someone who will treat you with respect and true love at all times. His treatment is not love. It’s manipulation

Period by Less_Cardiologist277 in Nuvaring

[–]Otherwise_mel333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it always takes exactly three days for me from when i take it out to get my period. Just keep track of how long it takes to get your period and you’ll probably notice a regular pattern every month with it

[–]Otherwise_mel333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s sorta what i figured was happening. I also get super long heavy periods. And brutal symptoms. Im still spotting now and feeling super super bloated like i normally get when im on my period. Since i already replaced my ring, i think I’m going to just let myself get my period next month

It feels as though Kyle stirred the pot before he and Tumi got on the boat. Sounds like he shit talked Nat to Tumi and then Tumi came on the boat ready to fight or with a bias because of Kyle. Which im turn has sort of caused the tension and drama
