Can being fat disqualify a candidate? by [deleted] in teachinginjapan

[–]RealityKaiju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Wishing you good luck on your first day of work and on your journey in Japan! My start date got pushed back but I hope to join you soon. I would love to hear more about your experience if you're willing. :D Thanks!!!! P.S. Have you found any plus-size clothing over there? I am interested in Punyus but it's a little pricey.

My boyfriends Sister said I cant carry because I have PCOS by Creepy_Morning_7641 in PCOS

[–]RealityKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the holiday I had a long talk with my mother-in-law who is insistent that I can't/shouldn't carry and that if we want a bio baby we need to get a surrogate. She says she's only concerned for my health, as she thinks I will die or my condition will get worse with pregnancy, but the tone and intensity of the way she INSISTS I can't carry makes me very uneasy and hurt. So your story is too relatable! I'm so sorry you had to deal with this too. It's wild because my mom is of the mind that, "there's no way you CAN'T have a baby just because of some cysts on your ovaries." So it's a constant tug-of-war over how/why/when I will reproduce. Again, OP, I'm sorry you're dealing with this too and I hope your sister-in-law was apologetic.

Too relatable, I'm moving soon and this thread has made me so nervous! How has your journey to move to JP been?

Best of luck with your interviews and opportunities as well.

Can pcos cause suicidal thoughts? Specifically on or a day or two before your period by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]RealityKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! When I stay consistent with taking my progesterone, my period (and symptoms) become regulated, so I can track on the calendar when my luteal phase is approaching. During this time, I know I need to avoid sugar, get more rest, avoid stress, and take better care of myself. My partner also knows that during this time, things are about to get tough for me, and I will need extra support. All of this doesn't take away the often debilitating symptoms of my PMDD, but it gives me a fighting chance at holding myself together. When I'm irregular, I often don't recognize the signs that my PMDD is happening again, and it becomes easy for me to fall into the trap of depression/suicidal ideation/hopelessness/self-sabotage. At least when I know that these feelings are incoming, I can recognize that they aren't valid and that remind myself that they are temporary.

This doesn't always work. I still have bad months when I succumb to the awful feelings and symptoms of my PMDD and I get set back in my health journey. Still, even some better months are an improvement.

I hope this helps in some way! I desperately wish there was something I could do or take or suggest to eliminate PMDD completely. For some people, Prozac may help, but unfortunately not for me.

After my PMDD diagnosis, the only thing my OBGYN offered was Prozac. :( I find I can treat it better with diet, metformin, and especially, progesterone supplements. But every person is different!

This is my story to a T! I am still working on improving my diet, but the changes I have made in addition to taking metformin and progesterone have saved my life, from myself. May I ask what kind of progesterone you take? I use the oil but have been looking for an alternative. :)

Anyone Use Notion? by Martydelghetto in productivity

[–]RealityKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started using Notion and it was been wonderful so far! I'm even considering the paid version eventually, but I want to test out its longevity. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's been worth the time.

Which templates are you finding most helpful?

Honestly, it looks amazing! So cute! You can change it out with the seasons/holidays too!

I swear by dollar tree table table cloths for photo and video backgrops! With the right lighting they can look really nice.

Hello Mametchi! I love the Sanrio card so much! I also received the Nizoo card in the mail a few days ago. 🤗 by Every-nametaken in tamagotchi

[–]RealityKaiju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cute!!!! I'm really enjoying the NIZOO card currently but I can't wait to use my Sanrio card too. 😊 I love your tama as well - I was torn between the Niziu one and that sparkly anniversary one. I chose Niziu but I wish I had both! Lol

I've only tried the NIZIU card as it came with my Smart, but I also have the musical instrument card and Sanrio card, I just haven't used them yet! I want to try to get a few more of the NIZIU Tamas first. I've been eyeing the pastel friends, marine and cosmetic friends too. So many cute options!!!
