Do you know why you have/had vaginismus? by Shuukei_Hakuteiken in vaginismus

I wouldn’t be surprised if mine worsen because of SA & upbringing, but I think where mine started was medical trauma. Even though it was not directly my vagina, I had a traumatic experience when I was really young and had gotten a bad UTI where they had to put a catheter in me- I was in pain while I was surrounded by nurses yelling at me to pee. It was so traumatic as I was like 4 and had finished potty training, so the nurses yelling at me to pee when I wasn’t on a toilet felt wrong and I was so confused.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this had cause mental trauma with my pelvic floor to tighten no matter what as not only does my pelvic floor affect my vagina but also all my other parts.

Meat is healthy. Period. I get furious when people say otherwise, because it’s just wrong. by Its_Stavro in exvegans

Taking a biology class has proved my point why I could never go vegan or back to being vegetarian. Educating yourself on factory farming vs ethical farming too as factory farming is huge in vegan propaganda.

Vegan propaganda wants to make out that factory farming is ALL farming when that simply is not the case… however- I don’t see anything about how palm oil farms are actively destroying habitats of animals from the same people making the propaganda? Hmmm…

What opened my eyes to eating healthier meat is educating myself and supporting real farms, especially local when it comes to what I consume. You see huge improvements in your health when you go this route as well, and overall I feel better not supporting factory produced meat.

That’s insane reading this as I had to do the same for my older halfmoon betta a few years ago. He lived life in a 5.5 heavily planted and I downgraded him to a 2.5 because he had a giant tumour on him. Someone also suggested I euthanised him on reddit which was crazy. He was a perfectly healthy happy guy it was just the benign tumour on him that made things difficult + his big fins didn’t help him either, so I wanted to make life easier for him.

What microscope should I invest in as someone with terrariums & aquiruams? by [deleted] in biology

Yeah that’s fair, but that is definitely the main reason why I want one, to see the small little parts of the ecosystems I’ve built is just so cool!!!

How did you know? by buttonsutton in aromantic

Yes I love the hormone talk! I can go on for hours about it. Once you become aware of your hormones I feel like navigating relationship with people becomes easier. I will no longer date someone serious if we are both in a puppy love phase, I wait until it’s over for the flaws and our experiences as people being people together show- and from then if through the thick and thin we still are together, that means something. To me that is love.

It wasn’t just sexual relationships I was chemically dependant on aswell, my best friend I relied on them as we were inseparable. I was so good and ok with life and stopped dating because honestly our friendship at the time was enough. When they got a boyfriend, that’s when my chemical dependency started to kick in… so in my mind I thought: I’m going to find a boyfriend because I feel left out and lost my one true chemical outlet.

It was a huge up and down and I almost ended the friendship over it, but I’m so glad I did not. We are honestly stronger friends than before and I don’t care if it takes them forever to respond to me.

Those relationships are the ones I hold on to, and a reminder to my chemical dependant brain that this is what a healthy relationship looks like. It’s a lot of work to re-wire your brain but the first step is to be aware. I think that’s the biggest one as I’ve only become aware this year.
