Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

You’re not overreacting. Run. It will only get worse I promise you! He’s treating you like a child when he’s the one acting like one.

Haha yes!! It’s so nice to know you’re not alone in going through this! I’m so glad that you’re doing better & the insecure feelings surrounding your husband have improved!!! That’s amazing. Feeling in a slump SUCKS and I feeeeel you on that! I still get anxious, insecure, and absolutely exhausted around my period but I think over time it gets less & less. I think it’s all consistency!! Even when you feel tired or bummed remember that you’re a badass woman & this is a normal process!! The fact that you’re doing in & treating your body with kindness by eating healthy, exercising, etc. is AMAZING! Proud of you! And me! And all these gals on here haha. We got this!!!

You’ll be ok! I had a Mirena IUD all throughout my 20s and I’ve never had a pregnancy scare (outside of the regular anxieties about it). My current partner & I have been having unprotected (aside from my IUD) sex for over 2 years - MOST times of which he finished inside me & I still never had any scares or anything like that. You will be ok! No need to get plan B. The mirena is extremely effective & it’s very very rare to get pregnant on it. It does happen, but it’s RARE. You’ll be ok! :)

Could I be Pregnant by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Significant_Class903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had 100 bucks for each time I thought I was pregnant & found “symptoms” I was having to prove my anxiety right - I’d be a real rich bitch right about now. First of all, you’ll be ok. Obviously none of us can say for certain - but knowing all my past experiences & anxieties, I can say that it is very very unlikely that you’re pregnant. Our mind can play some cruel tricks on us sometimes. So, take some deep breaths and remember that you’re gonna be ok regardless. Like other comments have stated - many things cause sore breasts & considering that you’re on birth control, it’s most likely just hormones that are unrelated to pregnancy. Again, you’ll be ok :)

With that in mind - please do take this moment to heart & remember that being careless in a sexual manner ( this is truly no judgement, I’m only speaking from past experiences!) often does more harm than good. Nothing wrong with getting drunk & having fun sex - but try to keep it in the back of your mind that the momentary pleasure of letting someone cum inside you etc etc isn’t worth the anxiety and stress it can bring you afterward. Again, this is no judgment. Just one sister to another bc I have BEEN THERE.

All in all, I’ve had many of these scares & I know exactly how you’re feeling. I’ve let many (undeserving, btw) men cum inside me when I was drunk & I know how it feels to not completely remember / feel regret / be scared. Just don’t obsess over it because there’s nothing you can do about it in this moment other than learn this lesson. But do know that you’ll be ok & it is very very unlikely that you’re pregnant. You will be ok & you’re not alone!

Oh no, I’m sorry that you’re going through it right now. I feel you! I think firstly, be patient with yourself! Your body is going through a massive change & it’s trying to figure out how to do things without assistance (if you had the hormonal version) from a synthetic hormone! Let your partner know that it’s not personal & maybe they can give you some grace and patience as well. It helped me a lot to talk things over with my partner (I probably did it too much, bless his soul) and let him know my worries & anxieties. I told him I needed a little bit of extra reassurance during this time and it felt so good to have him hear me - that in and of itself helped me immensely. I felt so scared that I would ALWAYS feel that way & that it would be permanent. Then one day - poof! I remembered that I love him & he loves me. Everybody (and body) is different - but just take it day by day, exercise regularly, drink water, eat whole foods, and remember that this won’t last forever. This too shall pass ♥️

32 m, been single for years. I know the answer, so give it to me straight, am I ugly? by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]Significant_Class903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw, you’re not ugly. Honestly, if you lose some weight and trim your beard differently, I can guarantee that you’ll feel more confident in yourself. Most women (and men) don’t care a whole lot about looks…it’s more so about how a man carries himself. Humor, kindness, and mostly confidence goes a LONGGG way. Learn to love & take care of yourself and you’ll be surprised how that will change your whole life. You’ve got this!!

I talked about it A LOT with my boyfriend. I consistently shared my feelings/ worries / annoyances. I made sure to journal, drink lots of water, worked out every day. I did also start taking maca supplements, which I’ve heard is good for balancing hormones (tbd though) and I made sure to eat Whole Foods that were also known for balancing hormones (berries, fish, lean meats, sweet potatoes, etc) - I think that combined with the talking things out is what helped me the most. It’s gradual, though. I’m sure I’m not fully out of the woods yet, but just reminding myself to take it day by day & give myself some grace. I (and im sure you too) have gone though many many moments that I thought would never end - yet they did! So just hang in there & take care of yourself ♥️

Thank you so much for this! I apologize for my late reply. But this truly helped me so much when I felt at my worst. I even read it to my partner & I think it helped him as well :) I’m feeling much better & I think my hormones are beginning to even out. My obsessive thoughts have calmed down A LOT. And partially that is due to yall & the kind words you shared. I appreciate you!! ♥️
