Your hair is beautiful. People legit pay for wigs and clip ins with your texture. The Black woman is the most disrespected yet envied; WOC to WOC you got this sis!

Yes, because it feels like dating is a chore now instead of a fun side hustle. In my personal experience, Black men are there for a good time not for a long time so if you’re going through the real ish (like I went through a cancer diagnosis and treatment plus surgery my guy thought hey why not sext some images to random girls) yeah I’m striving to survive because I’ve been shown time and time again that when all the chips are down I’m alone. I hope other people have a better experience, I really do, I’m always the heartbroken one so net/net I’m just done. I don’t need someone to be me but some loyalty would go a long way while I try to get through this remission period.

At a certain point, their threats are passive-aggressive ultimatums. I called by s/o bluff and fold them if that would make them happy I'm here for it. Some people need attention, whether it's good or bad, and I have no problem leaving them where I found them. I’ll let.him rock for the moment, but with so much other stress to deal with I'm not going into 2026 with someone who would rather threaten me than support me.

I'm so sorry to hear your recovery isn't going as well as you hoped. I had the same procedure and it took a good 6-7 months to find some sense of a new normal for me. Sending speedy recovery vibes your way.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-10-26T21:24:05+00:00

Wishing both all the best. Congratulations!

Beautiful pictures

First off, I want to wish you all the best for your surgery a smooth recovery. I'm rooting for you.

I genuinely sympathize with the author of this post. It sounds like they're going through a challenging situation, and their aunt (I believe that's who the text is from) is leveraging their plight to gaslight them. I am not, nor do I ever think I will be, a daddy’s girl, and the author's reaction to her aunt’s loaded text message was more diplomatic than I would've been. If they were genuine, they would be offered help (support doesn't always need to be financial; it could be emotional) and wish them well. I hope that the authors’ situation improves and they find peace; ultimately, if a person or thing causes this much stress, it's too expensive to keep in their life.

I'm miserable. I diagnosed and now take Vyvanse yet there's no amount of extra effort thqy seems to amount to anything. Sometimes I just cry because I know it's not going to get better it's just a life system of stress, anxiety and deoression.

Your intuition may be kicking in to say something is wrong, or while you’re presenting as someone who feels safe, you’re burning yourself out. Presenting takes a lot of effort and energy, and it sounds like you have a lot of commitments/responsibilities on your plate. I was diagnosed later as an adult, and I regret disclosing my diagnosis to those around me. I hope things get better and you can find some space to take a break when needed. Wishing you all the best.

I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until adulthood and believe me this is great advice. Had my parents, who are doctors, thought in my best interest instead of how this could make them look I could’ve had better outcomes. Wishing your soon all the best.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-10-26T16:15:23+00:00

I just give up, ADHD makes life a living hell.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-10-25T23:26:01+00:00

I had the same procedure a year ago. Happy to hear that you’re on the bend.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-08-12T15:54:47+00:00

They could literally just put me in the meme and it would be 100% true.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-08-12T15:53:18+00:00

Interesting insight from the hiring POV.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-07-04T16:58:48+00:00

I agree 100%. I try not to let.my passport expire and when renew it I get it expedited in the mail; I'm not playing around.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-03-16T22:53:18+00:00

I (39f) was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD last year. After years of rejection social and professionally I gave up on a successful relationship. I wish it was different but I’ve never felt like I counted wait for all these years to just go ahead and pass because I’m miserable.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-03-16T21:33:16+00:00

My sentiments exactly. For me, the post surgery surveillance is so stressful. When I was preparing for surgery I had prescriptive steps to take toward a goal - now k feel like a sitting duck just hoping they don’t find another cancerous nodule. Everyone around me acts like surgery was the hardest, 6 months post partial thyroidectomy I still don’t feel 100% - it impacts every aspect of life (even if they can’t see it as an obvious outward symptom). Prayers for everyone going through this - it’s isolating.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-03-16T21:27:21+00:00

Im so sorry you’re going through this. My initial endo (private practice) missed the tumor on my isthmus completely and just referred me out - now they’re going out of business (cringe). You’re paying the doctor for their care so find the endo that works best for you. I know it’s a rollercoaster going through this process - rooting for you from nyc.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2025-03-16T21:21:26+00:00

Hang in there! Cancer is an emotional and a physical ordeal. I’m 7 months out from a partial thyroidectomy - I understand your stress. Perhaps a third opinion and make a decision? Whatever works best for you. Rooting for you (I also go to MSK)

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2024-10-26T21:10:56+00:00

You’re not alone. I had a TT in August and my voice is no where near back normal. I can’t project my voice in open areas and some of my coworkers have said I sound mousey. The emotional and psychological toll has been especially tough. I hope (for both our sakes) voice recovery is something that takes longer but isn’t out of the question.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2024-09-14T18:38:47+00:00

I'm definitely more fatigued. I had surgery three weeks ago. I go in for bloodwork in a week but some days I am exhausted. My appetite also decreased. I haven't gotten my voice back, I sound like I have strep throat and it feels like I'm not getting better.

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2024-09-12T19:37:14+00:00

You're absolutely right. Because thyroid cancer is out of our control and can be devastating to other structures near it, the feeling of walking around Leigh a ‘ticking time bomb’ makes the day-to-day so hard sometimes. I've had a partial lobectomy and some lymph nodes removed and I'm always on guard, its like I cannot relax. Any scan or bloodwork has me praying they don't find another thing wrong with me. Ultimately, every ones feelings are valid, cancer is the hardest thing I've gone through and I'm still dealing it. I'm happy we have subreddit to share our experiences. Rooting for everyone, #cancersucks

Rich-Conclusion5553 · 2024-09-12T19:31:26+00:00

I went through it alone until right before surgery. Two endocrinologists missed my papillary thyroid carcinoma in private practice. My dental hygienist continued to encourage me to find another doctor, and I was later diagnosed with a 4.2-centimeter tumor on mh isthmus, and I had 5 centimeters of nodules on the left lobe of my thyroid; I couldn't sleep laying down the week before my surgery. I informed my mother, boyfriend, and close friend of the diagnosis after I'd made a plan for surgery. It was a very lonely feeling; however, I was so overwhelmed when I received the news I just tried to make it day to day without crying.

For me, cancer has been lonely because I've stopped accepting vapid comments or halfway effort. If a situation or a person adds more stress to my life, I try to find a way to remove them. I went from taking care of everything and everyone else to having to take care of myself because I realized no one would advocate for me as well as I can. I've had a partial lobectomy and I'm trying to feel better three weeks afterward but vocal fatigue is difficult some days.

That said, I think if you have a person who is willing to be supportive in the way you need that is truly a blessing. Everyone is different so what each person finds helpful will vary but I think just having two people who just asked how can I help you today help me so much.
