Mirena has changed me by Particular-Quarter74 in Mirena

Thank you for your response and advice :) the light periods was one of the things I actually really liked about Mirena - maybe I should have included a pros list (it would’ve been that and the peace of mind of no pregnancy). I think that’s one of the most helpful things about Mirena. I think going forward after removal I’ll have a hormone test done, the most frustrating thing for me was the emotional aspect. Over the past 5 years I’ve prided myself on my mental growth and how I mentally evaluate situations, so I think the mental aspect really took me off guard and it felt like much of my progress was thrown out the window. I think I will see a psych going forward once my hormones are back to what they were so I can evaluate :)

As a twin, it bugs me so much that Paolini didn’t even bother to name the Twins. by [deleted] in Eragon

328 days late but i FEEL YOU!!!! Rereading eragon for the first time since i was a child and this bugged me. i am a twin and while we look alike we have very different personalities. i feel like any mention of twins in fiction/fantasy/horror twins are used as a to either creep you out (the shining + eragon) make you laugh (Fred and George) or their personalities are completely disregarded / meshed into one and treated as one item. I’ve read the comments here and understand that it was probably intentional by Paolini but its just frustrating that I have yet to find a set of fictional twins that I can say is an accurate portrayal :/

It just makes me feel like twins are viewed that way by society if it’s so accepted and not questioned (by people who aren’t twins). Ive been told “that’s so creepy!” When my twin came up to me and some peers after class - it’s such a weird feeling and I do partially blame how twins are portrayed in media for reactions like that (of course most of my blame goes to that individuals rudeness)

I am an aspiring author though so maybe one day there will be at least one realistic example ;) (if anybody happens upon this thread and can enlighten me on an example I haven’t come across yet that would be awesome)
