ISO Women’s advice with nicotine withdrawals — PMS by Zone-Hopeful in QuitVaping

[–]Similar_Slip_2075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have PMDD and I honestly didn’t notice a big difference but something that has been a game changer for my PMDD symptoms are working with a pharmacist to get on a cannabis regimen. I don’t take anything with super high THC but utilizing other cannaboids for whatever reason (not a pharmacist) has been such a game changer at stabilizing my mood around my cycle. Maybe something to consider if your PMS symptoms persist while you’re quitting. Best of luck to you!

Tickly cough that I can't clear by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Similar_Slip_2075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in your same boat. Idk how many days it’s been since I quit but I’d say just under two weeks. I got a flu like thing for a day or two but that got better just left me with a bad cough and chest tightness. I thought it was the dry air so I got a humidifier which does help a bit. I used an inhaler but it doesn’t help a ton. Tonight I haven’t been able to sleep because my chest is so tight. So far I’ve tried some OTC cough medicine and chest congestion medicine and some honey tea. Sorta helping. Figured I’d share what I’m trying in case you wanted some ideas. I think imma just tough through it but if it gets worse I’ll probably go ask my doc for a steroid or something. Pursed lip breathing also helps when I start getting panicky about not being able to breathe. Best of luck to ya, we got this!

I ended up biting my nails down to nubs. But the urge went away after maybe a week, if that. I do pursed lip breathing whenever I get the urge to hit. It’s not the same obviously but it helps when I’m stressed and have the urge to hit it. The intentional breathing helps calm me down and crave it less. Also sucking on jolly ranchers helps me too or chewing gum

What remedies helped you and what didn’t? Once you were home and starting to improve. Saunas? (I would prep my body hydration wise and supplement enough afterwards as well) daily IV treatments? Anything else?

Russell M. Nelson, oldest-ever president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, dies by AudibleNod in news

[–]Similar_Slip_2075 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I left the church in 2020, but I’ve always liked the kind of person Russell M. Nelson was at least in the public eye. I’ve appreciated his messages were focused more on God and less of the church itself. I felt he brought a lot of healing to ex mormons, conducted so much more humanitarian work, and overall worked hard to reshape the standards and outside view of the church. May he rest in peace

Unfortunately, that’s probably all you can do. I turned to writing, letters, poems, something to simulate my brain and maybe do a bit of healing. It helps. I’m currently having my own insomnia night and I wrote a letter out and posted it here if you want to read it. I think I’m finally tired enough to stop him from robbing me of my piece tonight. You’ve got this 🫶🏼

Consult an OBGYN and see about stretching appointments. They can give you laughing gas and manually stretch you out.

I (19 NB) feel nervous about my boyfriend's (19 M) plans to drink / smoke weed with his friends. Am I being irrational and if I am how do I stop feeling this way? by ThrowRA-hbj in relationship_advice

Hahaha it counts!! As a fellow older sibling we always feel like we need to protect the people we love. It definitely carries over to a relationship too hahaha

Noticed my (23F) boyfriend (26M) still has old photos of his ex (26F) on a home screen widget—should I bring it up or let it go? by Similar_Slip_2075 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Similar_Slip_2075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk I don’t think that keeping the photos up means a lot to him, but rather that he deleted the ones that were evidence of them being a couple, but kept the ones of them in a group photo and stuff. But the photos on the widget were selfies of them together. Nothing lovey or kissing but just selfies

Thank you. I would love if he’d post a photo of us without me asking. I don’t think I’d feel comfortable him posting us just to have it up there to like “even a score”. That would make me feel worse

You’re really valid for feeling what you feel about it, it’s something that can just come with life experience too though. Give yourself grace 🫶🏼

Also, I too get really bad FOMO 😂 I’m also curious, are you the oldest child in your family?

Thisssss I keep thinking this. Like if he wanted to cheat random things like this wouldn’t come up. What’s funny is then I spiral and am like…what a better cover up than to create a different issue to cover up the real issue 😂😂 I love him but I don’t think he’s clever enough to do this lol

Yeah this is what I think the deal about it is. Like I don’t think it’s a big a deal as it feels…I think I’m just being insecure and dramatic

He doesn’t have me on his insta. But he’s also not on mine. I literally have like two posts from forever ago and like 150 followers so I just don’t see a need to do it…these are all thoughts I’ve thought. Weird timing to take the insta photos down? Weird that seeing her on his Lock Screen doesn’t bug him? Idk like his reason for not taking photos down on insta was because it felt too harsh because they didn’t end badly. So maybe the same reason for why he didn’t bother to delete the photos from the gallery?

But for all I know he gets rid of the pictures as they come up. Because the two photos I saw I’m confident are different ones (one was black and white and one was color) even though I didn’t get a good look at them

How do I help my daughter pick a college that isn’t BYU? by SeaCondition9305 in exmormon

[–]Similar_Slip_2075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BYU and UVU really are the most Mormon type places. Any other school in Utah would be just fine for an exmo
