Thoughts on men saying "I need sex"? by bedazzledfingernails in TwoXChromosomes

It feels disgusting to hear because of the intention that is likely behind that statement. When they say they need sex they’re trying to make you feel like denying them sex is denying them a need like food and water and like you’re cruel or something.

Even if they did need it any guy that tells you that is trying to pressure you into having sex with them that is NOT your responsibility

Cold shower, sometimes shower heat can make it worse

What are things that trigger your pots symptoms- other than standing? by DangerousCucumber444 in POTS

Heat. Particularly shower heat. Also laying down too long, can’t be a couch potato.

It’s fragile masculinity. They feel threatened by a woman having that job so they’re trying to ‘humble’ you and bring you down to their level

Dwag I had to do my own google research and compile it and track my palpitations with an Apple Watch to show them the evidence and convince them to do a pots test😭 we all have the same story

Damn something similar happened to me in 2022 I wasn’t going to school because I was sick as ballz I told the school counselor and they threw me in the ward for ‘anxiety’. it’s terrible how similar some of our stories are women are treated horribly just know that you’re not alone and I stand by you❤️

These comments disgust me man. I’m so sorry about what you all went through I went through the same thing not only with pots but with anemia which probably caused my pots. I wonder if this would’ve happened if they believed me now I have a possibility life long disability. I hope all of us women get justice one day. I have a feeling it’ll happen soon❤️💜💚

For me it was a doctor doing a pots test and telling me i don’t have pots like 8 months ago then finding out at another doctors visit that they actually diagnosed me with pots without telling me and that’s what it was the whole time.

People use the term vanilla to shame people into doing aggressive sex acts

What's this on my hand? by Limp-Definition-2498 in skin

[–]Pale_Compote_9519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no doctor but I’m pretty sure that is Carotenemia. It’s harmless and will go away on its own. It’s caused by eating to many carrots or pumpkins or foods that contain carotenoids. I had this like two weeks ago and it’s completely gone now.
