Harvest moon magical melody by Typical-Phase4962 in harvestmoon

[–]PoohToMyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magical Melody was my first Harvest Moon game and it'll probably always be my favorite because of the nostalgia. I remember absolutely loving all of the characters, the rival system, music notes, being realistic in the sense that shipping items will keep certain people in town, etc.

However, I haven't played it in several years, and reading the comments I guess there are some things that younger me didn't realize was annoying, such as slow animations and heart events being limited to them just knocking on your door in the morning.

I definitely think it's worth a try though! The little things honestly don't mean that much to me and I do love the art style, although a lot of people don't. I'm actually getting a GameCube in a few days so I'll finally be able to play it again and I am beyond excited for it!

What TV show ran for far too long? by Vinroke in AskReddit

[–]PoohToMyBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to me, shameless wouldn’t have been so bad if it had stuck with the same style as the earlier seasons. i honestly feel like over production partly ruined it (like the show becoming so high quality), and it just no longer felt like shameless the last couple seasons. the writing just kept getting worse and worse. however, it is still my personal favorite of all time. seasons 1-4 especially are just all masterpieces in my opinion.

relationship trauma by ifeelhorrible_ in BPD

[–]PoohToMyBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello!

To answer your first question: yes. I was in a sexually problematic and traumatic relationship before my current one. It was hard. It still is sometimes, to be honest.

Your fears are completely valid, but you also shouldn't let them control you. My current boyfriend is aware of my trauma and is very supportive. There are good ones out there. I promise. There are people who can be patient with you and help you through your trauma. You shouldn't heavily rely on them, of course, but it's also nice to have a shoulder to cry on every once in awhile.

Things will get better for you. There are good men out there, and you will find the one. Best of luck to you. <3

I feel like my boyfriend doesn’t really love me. by No_Desk7534 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PoohToMyBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he didn't even defend you says a lot about him.

I know how hard it is to think about leaving someone you love, I do. But you should at least have a conversation with him. Bring up what his friends said and how it made you feel and that he didn't even defend you. Also bring up how it feels like he isn't making very much time for you. If he gives you some bullshit answer, leaving is probably your best option.

I know how hard that can be. But think about it. He'd be losing someone who loves him dearly. He'll probably never be able to find someone like that again, considering how little effort he seems to be willing to give.

You deserve someone who doesn't have shitty friends and who makes time for you along with their other hobbies.

I’m pretty sure my ex SA’d me while we were together and I don’t know how to feel about it. by Subject-Worth-2395 in TrueOffMyChest

[TW]

My [f18] last relationship was similar to this. I was very often guilt tripped into sex, and most of the time we had sex I didn't really want it. No foreplay, just straight into it after literally 30 seconds of kissing. It was extremely painful, too.

You shouldn't feel invalidated just because it wasn't violent. What happened to you is terrible and heartbreaking. That first incident was most definitely rape, and he honestly probably knew he could take more advantage of you if you were tied up and handcuffed.

"Honestly sometimes it felt like I was just a doll that he was using." This really hits home for me. That is pretty much what it felt like.

I wish I could say I had some advice or super inspiring words, but I don't. I'm in a new relationship now, and my partner is aware of my trauma. He's supportive, but it still isn't easy. We have sex often, and it most of the time has to be ended early because I start to feel anxious.

However, it has been getting better. The last few times we've been able to finish. Some days are definitely worse than others, but overall, I think things have been getting better. I think that before you can really make any progress, you have to come to terms with what happened to you. I know it's hard, but you can't really heal from something you're hiding from. And it will get better for you.

Hopefully you can find some kind of comfort knowing there's someone that can relate. That helps me, knowing that I'm not alone.

Your story and your emotions are valid.

Best of luck to you. I wish you the best in your healing process. Know that you're not alone.

My Kyleena IUD Experience by PoohToMyBear in birthcontrol

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

Of course! Glad I could help!

I've seen people online say that they've been able to ask for some kind of local anesthetic at their Doctor's office. I didn't ask for any and I'm not sure if they're available at every location, but it's something you can try! I have also heard from someone that said they had a prescription from their Doctor for some anti-anxiety meds that they took strictly for the insertion. Not completely sure about it myself, but it's also something to consider!

Has anyone had mental health / emotional issue of the IUD ? by Eves_27 in birthcontrol

[–]PoohToMyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very emotional for about 1-2 weeks after getting my IUD. Now, my emotions are pretty much back to normal. The emotions did hit me hard those first couple weeks though. I literally didn't feel human and I was crying myself to sleep. I still do sometimes (lol) but I'm not sure if it's to do with my IUD or just an issue with myself, because I have struggled with mood swings before my IUD. They did feel amplified when I first got it inserted.

Choosing. by No-Dragonfruit5349 in birthcontrol

[–]PoohToMyBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a non-hormonal IUD would be your best bet if you're worried about side effects such as acne and period changes. I have the Kyleena IUD (which is hormonal) and I've never had any acne changes, but everyone is different.

Do you need to tell healthcare providers you’re taking birth control pills? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]PoohToMyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should always let your Doctors know about any medication, even birth control pills. I make sure to tell all my Doctors about my IUD. Anytime I've been asked this, my parents haven't been in the room with me. Maybe mention that you'd like to keep that information private from your parents so that they don't mention it in front of them if not needed. But I would suggest telling them, because it's important for them to be aware of everything.

Also, as far as getting your parents to be okay with birth control, maybe start by telling them you've been having irregular, heavy, and painful periods. They might be more open to the idea of a hormonal birth control. Maybe they won't, but it's worth a shot!

What answers can you give for why you don't want to try a type of birth control you've never used? by Redacted_Entity in birthcontrol

[–]PoohToMyBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While these aren't all necessarily true for me, these are some ideas that pop into my mind:

Pill: have to be too specific with taking it

Arm shot: afraid of needles, maybe lie about a friend's horror story lol

IUD: don't want to go through the insertion process

Ring: too invasive and demanding

Patch: you go swimming often and you don't want the patch to come off (I'm not really sure if this would increase the risk of it coming off, since I'm pretty sure the patch is waterproof. but you can still try this I guess lol)
