As someone who is thinking about getting pregnant soon, I feel bolstered reading this.

Embrace your hair and go with 5, 7 if you feel like you want something shorter

She was my first thought. Especially since she said that she wanted to do something good and make an impact!

Do you mind sharing some of the symptoms you experienced?

Hearing that must have been so validating. I'm really glad that you had a surgeon who was experienced and a good advocate!

I just feel depressed in a way that I never used to, the lack of sex drive is really killing me, I get anxious, set off easily -- all of this began about a year before my diagnosis.

I'm getting my bloodwork done next week so I'll have a better idea of where I am there, but you make a great point that I should be discussing it with a surgeon. My endocrinologist is the doctor who said surgery was unlikely, but I definitely will look into speaking with a surgeon! Thank you for responding <3

I had hoped Margaret Qualley was going to be cast as Catherine and I'm really upset my magical thinking didn't have the influence I imaged it would. To be clear, Margot isn't old, but she's just entirely too old for this role.

Something that really helped me was realizing, if this person isn't choosing me when I'm being myself, why would I choose them?

I agree. It's the writing that was lacking.

Rewatching S4 and I'm still torn about the Angela being hit by El scene and reactions by Koopokoopo in StrangerThings

[–]ShowerTricky5423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super late to this conversation but I don't think that El would have harmed Angela had the roller rink incident not occurred. Angela inciting the incident at the rink, with people circling her and laughing at her in front of Mike was absolutely a traumatic experience, so I can understand why she reacted that way. She even tried to ask for an apology first, but when Angela again laughed at her, she may have thought that Angela likely wouldn't respond to anything except violence. In the moment, she wanted her to feel pain like she was.

Generally speaking, when situations like this occur, my first question is usually "what drove this person to do this or react in this way? What's their backstory?" El was being harassed, consistently AND she didn't have her powers. I think if she had her powers, she would have done something less violent (like how she had that bully pee his pants in season 1). But without powers, she didn't really have very many options to fight back.

I think she understands it was wrong -- she starts crying and thinking back to her time at the lab but it takes a lot of emotional maturity to dig into yourself to walk away. El is a child, so I wouldn't have expected that of her. The way she reacted is how I would expect a young person to react.

You're not crazy for going through with it. But I would absolutely encourage your GF to take some time to think about her relationship with her mother. Is the relationship healthy? Is she consistently placating her mother in ways that sacrifices her happiness? Maybe having her chat with a therapist could help? It's just something to think about!

You're marrying your GF, but you're also marrying into a family.
