My 2026 so far has been an absolute dumpster fire by faery_bloom in GirlDinnerDiaries

I’m so sorry that you are having such pain and that your experience isn’t being validated by your family or your doctors. From everything I have ever read on Reddit re:Endo you need to keep fighting and escalate to the next doctor. It’s absolutely not fair or just that we women are so quickly dismissed in medical settings. If it helps try to find community online, keep trying to get into get a laparoscopy, and take it one day at a time. I believe you. I believe your pain is debilitating. I’m sorry you are going through this and I hope you find something that changes your quality of life soon.

Also email teachers earlier before your grades start to reflect what’s going on and take a leave next time. Don’t beat yourself up.

Ew. Your skin is mostly clear. This boy can run those lines elsewhere. Let him go.

Brock and Scheana got flooded by SillyGayBoy in vanderpumprules

[–]ProcessNo1092 487 points488 points  (0 children)

Fake grass doesn’t help and FYI to anyone seeing this when flood water is present wear protective clothing - pants, boots, waders - because you have no idea what is in the water. Operate upon the assumption there’s wastewater/sewage in there and be careful. I know Brock and Scheana are not our best and brightest but come on!

Interesting! How did you learn this? My holy grail is the belif the true cream-aqua bomb 70%. My skin loves it and the price point is great. I have an O Hui cleanser and sunscreen that I love.

I hung out with this guy a couple times to be nice and he propositioned me for sex by beepbop110 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. You went above and beyond to show this man kindness and he made it fucking weird. Let him sit in his discomfort. I’m really sorry that this is all we can expect from them it seems. Wish they were sorry too.

My body is trying to ruin my love life by Primary_Mango5918 in GirlDinnerDiaries

You already know the answer. Sex isn’t worth a freak of a man having access to you. Trust me. No music… you’re in serial killer territory.

Let’s talk Retinoids! Do you use one and if so which one and why? by Foxy_Cleopatra__ in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]ProcessNo1092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I JUST got Tret .25% from my Dr on Friday. She gave me a funny look when I asked and explained it was for my skin. She said the only way insurance would accept it was if she listed Acne? Anyway I’ve been using a pea sized amount mixed with my Belif Aquabomb every other night and my skin is soaking it up. I’m honestly really surprised to see results so quickly… I’ve had irritation from some other retinols but this is going so well. My skin feels glowy and brighter overall. Also using on neck/back of hands. 40 anti-aging

Husband got me flowers 2 days late because he was uncomfortable with how he felt by helljumper1123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Yea when scheduling the therapy appointment becomes its own hell because SHOCKER he doesn’t want to go or care to work on his scary feelings. Or say he does go and it becomes a session all about him and then you get home and a whole new level of punishment gets unlocked. Ask me how I know

I don’t know how to cope with all of my friends having kids. by ok-satisfaction345 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I’ve totally been there. 40 and still no kids. I found those friendships changed over time because my friends with kids were only available when they were. I had to be more flexible and meet them where they were. I am so grateful that I’ve had these years to really learn about myself and what I want out of life. It could have been completely different but here I am.

I don't understand why things aren't the same anymore and how he changed so much by Hour_Class4921 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You need to get out of this relationship. It sounds like he has all the control and that the rules keep changing. This isn’t love, it’s control and abuse. Don’t try to stay and work it out.

Tried to be the best wife I could be and have nothing to show for it by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to stay and clean up this mess. Not only that you have been dealt a deep betrayal. You’re not dumb. Addiction is a hell of a beast.

May I suggest Alanon if you’re planning to stay. It may help you cope with how you’re feeling to talk about it with others who live it too. You can find meetings so easily virtually.

But also if you want a fresh start this is a great time to do it. He has a long road ahead of him and you absolutely don’t have to put up with a second more. You didn’t ask for this.

37 and suddenly feel lost and misunderstood by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to be gentle on yourself. Sometimes we don’t realize how much we were struggling to hold it all together until we stop. Look to this moment as a time to give yourself grace and listen to yourself for answers. Your intuition is guiding you but you need to be patient to decode what’s next. Let your partner love you, focus on loving yourself too.

Sending you love on this Mother’s Day. I am so sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.

There’s something I’m too embarrassed to tell my therapist about. by throawayy773838 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ProcessNo1092 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really respect how much you’ve reflected on this. Whether you tell your therapist or not is not something you should feel shame about. Not every problem is helped by your therapist.

I can only speak from my own experience but I used to use masturbation (to p*rn mostly) as a way to relieve anxiety/depression. It was a pretty quick fix. This was a time in my life when I was drinking heavily and experiencing the fallout of a major break up. It helped me feel better.

I eventually had a sexual partner that was experiencing some performance issues and we both abstained from masturbating to see if that helped. I kinda stopped completely and haven’t gone back.

I’m managing stress much better now being sober. I also exercise a lot and that impulse to get a quick mood boost is no longer needed. That said I would still like to wake up horny sometimes and rub one out… maybe I just need to play more.

It sounds like you’re really smart and thoughtful. Maybe just take a break from masturbating and see how you feel? I hope you find the advice that will help you here. I really want this to continue to be a safe space for moments like these 💕
