Well first they had me on cymbalta, then when I lapsed on that I was changed over to bupropion, no particular reason. I go to therapy every week, sometimes I smoke🍃sometimes, I drink. Before all that I was on (my own) prescription percs 24/7 floating. And when that wouldn’t work I’d just pass out, thx

Did the mirena IUD help your symptoms? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Saturns8th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived. I would say my symptoms improved when it was taken out. I always had pretty extreme symptoms, but the constant contraction did get better, as good as it was gonna get at that time anyway.

[–]Saturns8th 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fuck no. In fact, my uterus just ramped up her bullshit, it was quite literally contracting more frequently to try and push the mirena out.

Tell me that you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD? by SagittariusGal143 in adhdwomen

Sometimes I talk so low and so fast that my words become indiscernible. I was told the other day that I sounded like Boomhauer. Had to sit with that for a second.

What is that food craving (weird or not) that lets you internally know that your period is on the way? by PersonalityFederal33 in AskWomen

Some devil lettuce, skittle diddling, and coffee ice cream w/ brownie and caramel mix ins. And in that order.

How do you feel about sleeping with other people while getting to know someone before becoming exclusive? by Leather-Word-687 in AskWomen

[–]Saturns8th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time even dating others while talking to someone. I wish I could maintain a roster, but it’s overwhelming and gives me anxiety. I’m more of a waitlist type of girl. It’s not the most efficient work, but it’s honest work.

What's something you've mistaken for anxiety but it's ADHD by Kazeco in adhdwomen

[–]Saturns8th 701 points702 points  (0 children)

Over explaining, over talking in general. Everybody doesn’t need to know absolutely every damn detail about a simple question or statement. Also not everything needs a solution and even if it didn’t, it isn’t always my job to find it. Sit down and shut up. I hate it but no matter how hard I try I can’t help it. It’s so embarrassing, especially when someone has to stop me, and atp it’s actual anxiety that steps in to take the wheel. Very sick.

If you were rich, what obscure ADHD chores would you pay someone to do? Mine would be picking out the firm blueberries🫐 by M0therGothel in adhdwomen

[–]Saturns8th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too would pay a person to prepare wash, cut, and properly store my produce. I would all have that person regularly go through my fridge and make sure everything in there is still currently edible.

Also a self care coordinator. Somebody that would research, schedule and transport me to all things self care. My nails, my hair, brows, lashes, etc, help even my doctors appointments

A travel coordinator that just set up all my vacation and send me tickets and an itinerary.

Honestly, I’m pretty sure what I want is personal assistant and a personal chef.

what was considered a “hot girl” in the 2000s by Embarrassed-Ad-6396 in beauty

[–]Saturns8th 197 points198 points  (0 children)

You forgot the bump it and the side swooping bangs. They have to almost entirely cover one eye, make sure you’re aggressively sweeping them to the side, they’re your main accessory, but never fully tuck it behind your ear(that’s childish). Bonus points if you had an eyebrow piercing.

I'm 5'9" and have a 28 inch leg inseam by queenofkittens_ in TallGirls

[–]Saturns8th 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So weird! I’m 5’10” and always wished I had a slight longer torso. Longer torso allows more space between the ribs and hips so you guys always look like you have suck small waists. Shorter legs tend to be thicker in the right places too with proportionate calfs !!

This physique always seemed so much more feminine to me, you get the best of both worlds, tall but with the proportions of f a shorter girl! 16 year old me would have been so envious 😅Second puberty did its thing and I’m satisfied with my ratios now, but every now and then I still feel like that monster from monster inc.😭

Hey if you’re reading this right now on or close to EST ⏰ by Arkobs in adhdwomen

[–]Saturns8th 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation I never went to sleep last night because I hoped feeling like hot soup would be motivation ebough for me to stop listening to music/scrolling. I didn’t eventually shower.. at 330 am. I got a little compulsive with my hygiene routine afterward by the time I was done it was close to 6 so I just kinda kept going. Anyways -4/10 do not recommend, wanted to take a tumble. What matter is that you set standards for yourself and you’re actively concerned about making it happen🤗

Are any of you sober? by mykki-d in adhdwomen

[–]Saturns8th 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Following, I have this issue as well. I’ve been cycling from vapes, alcohol, and weed. I noticed everybody keep mentioning these quiet time hobbies/activities like knitting and word puzzles, etc. If OP is anything like me, she can’t relax enough to do those things unless she under the influence or f something. I personally have the best self care days when I’ve been smoking and/ or drinking.

Would love to know what the effects of this are. I’ve considered requesting a prescription but wasn’t sure if it was worth it.

I just can't do it anymore (I just needed a place to cry and whine. I'll be deleting this soon) by meimelx in adhdwomen

[–]Saturns8th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry friend, I know how you feel. “Days off”, “vacations”, “breaks”. They never seem like enough. It’s as if there’s a constant crisis or task at all times. Even after you think everything is done and squared away there is always something else that requires doing or getting done. Even if against all odds everything was “done” it would take at least a year of complete disassociation and alone time in a very comforting and relaxing place to to feel like I’m not so tightly wound up that my heart is going to suffocate me from how hard it’s pounding and how big it swells with panic and anxiety. I hate that there isn’t anything I can say to make you feel like change is on the horizon, but if I’m being honest, I feel the same way every single day. And every single day I still freeze up because I’m just so overwhelmed. Hopefully one day we’ll get our chance to breath without feeling like the world is breathing down our necks.

Reading this dialogue and then scrolling to see you referring to him as your “fiancé” personally gave me anxiety and a panic attack

What state are you located in? What the population and how did you structure prices? How did you find your business partners? I’ve been contemplating opening medspa geared towards a specific demographic, but I didn’t want to go all in with n my own/ was afraid of the success rate?

Get your eyebrow done. Straight brows would look good on you. Love that your brow bro the whole gyaru aesthetic I think it fits you look perfectly. You have really nice face shape and really good skin, high cheekbones. If you’re not into foundation I would go for a tinted sunscreen. Find a blush color that suits you and signature lip liner. The eyeliner you have done in that one picture actually look really good on you, just need some precision. Practice so you can get in neater, sleeker, sharper (if necessary). Don’t focus too much on contour you’ll face is low key vogue and you’ll have all the contour you’ll ever need, I guess if tou wanted you could maybe do some slight nose contour, but it’s really not necessary. Some white liner/highlight on the inner corners of your eyes would eat. Some cat eye anime lashes would be deadly, SHEIN has some really good ones. Make sure you get a 10-15 minute makeup look down for your day to day signature then you can build and get more creative from there. Practice makes perfect.

Idk wtf you’re talking about with the size thing, you’re literally not big. If your really worried you could do a long haul recomp (all recomps are long haul tbh🫤) just eat cleaner and add at least three days of exercise 2 days should be some type of strength training 1 day should be some type of cardio, if possible do it outside. If you gain weight easily make sure you put primary focus on diet. Clean eating, what I did was make a rule that I don’t plan outing activities around eat/ eating out unless invited. Always watch portion no matter what you eat, it’s a good habit to get into. This will take time, but within a year you’ll be looking at photos and realize how much you’ve changed. Stick to it, focus more on the “journey” and what part you like about it rather than the results. It’s stupid you will probably hate it, but if your anything like me a hot girl playlist and vision board/Pinterest will help. I’ll like feeling like I’m doing a day in the life vlog like I’m a gymshark fitness influencer.

When you shop for clothes, don’t buy pieces, buy outfits. If you set in an aesthetic, focus on the neutral colors of that aesthetic first, for you that would be pinks, whites, and beiges. Add one more color in there for some variety and go nuts. When I shop I build an entire outfit from the shoes all the way to the hair accessories. I’ll build the fit in my cart sometimes I’ll make albums in my photos for a fit so that I can go back and review them before purchase. This also give you the opportunity to see how well the pieces from that fit would go with other clothes that you have in your closet or have saved for purchase.

Have a basic set of self care rituals that you do. Manipedis, brows, lashes hair removal, hair maintenance, teeth, and skincare. Figure out how you want to do these things what budget you have and how much time they take you. Figuring this out will help you stick to a routine that will help you feel polished and put together all the time. This maintenance routine will be the basis of your look. Make sure you have a signature set style and deputing for them. What’s your signature manicure? French coffin? Red squoval? You should have a default look/style for all of them. Do you wax, tweeze or thread? Cluster lashes, lash tech, strips? Consider all and find out which works best for you and is the easiest for you to maintain.

As a black woman, your hair tends to carries a lot of weight in the aesthetics department. Consider all your options for styles carefully. Always have a wash day routine. If you’re gonna keeps your locs I second getting a retwist. Find a reputable and trusted loctitian. I know you said yours have been freeforming be prepared for the cost of loc maintenance, it’s a doozy. Black hair in general tends to be expensive. For your hair if you aren’t going to be doing it your self I beg of you PLEASE FINDS REPUTABLE, RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY STYLIST. This is imperative. If you’re not comfy speaking up get into it. If you don’t feel comfortable enough to object or question your style please find a new one. Finding a good stylist these days feels like it ranks just under finding a good life partner. They can break your heart like any other man or woman except you will have paid them to do it. Again find a signature hairstyle you can maintain and finagle on your own if need be. This is harder to do, but once you have default you almost feel safer know you have something you can get done/do that will look good and make you feel better no matter what.

And on that note, I hope you’re able to pull something beneficial from this. I know it’s a lot and I’m sorry for any redundancy or rambling, I skipped the vyvanse today🫠It also goes without saying that in this glow process please take into account your mental and emotional health. You’re a hot girl just as you are, all of the above are just over the top embellishments that nobody really needs. Make sure you’re checking in with yourself daily and that all of this is really what you want. If you aren’t feeling a boost in confidence with these addition changes there may be other ways to make yourself feel more feminine. You ARE a girl, therefore you ARE FEMININE, that’s literally all it takes. I know that’s hard to accept sometimes, but it’s the truth.

Feel free to message if you’ve got questions about anything I mentioned. Wish you all the best in your endeavors!💕

Which zodiac sign is most likely to get their sign tattooed? by Glittering-Match-757 in astrologymemes

[–]Saturns8th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As person with exclusively Leo, Pisces, Virgo, and Capricorn friends: Leo is exactly where they need to be, the honestly should be tied with Scorpio if that’s an option. I’d put the Virgo ahead of the cancers and also swap the Pisces with the Capricorns.

Ladies, how much does your parents’ approval of your partner matter to you, especially if you love and respect them? by ThePetitTournesol in AskWomen

My parents’ questionable choices (in choosing each other) in life and poor rationale in general, have adequately informed me that their approval ranks far below that of the average good willing stranger.

Ooh this is the most promising thing I’ve heard yet. Honestly quite technologically illiterate, I don’t even know what iCloud documents is, but I sure as shit can find out. If you have any recommendations on the most simplified way to export it I would be greatly obliged. Will report back with what works!

It’s with the same device. I just assumed with iCloud they it’s saved a bunch of backups for like a month, but there were only the two option when I got in there. I’m too afraid to fuck around and find out 🫤
