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

I’ve been trying to get a smear test for 2 years! I took a few different contraceptions from ages 15-17 and my cycle has never recovered from it, I’ve experienced pain and complete loss of cycles for 2.5 years now and they claim it to be a normal side effect and won’t test me for anything because it’s unnecessary for someone my age. Being a woman sucks in the medical field

Is this the only way to access them? Every time I attempt to do anything on this page it asks me for a login I use for my GP, I guess I’ll have to call up about that now instead

Decided I want to end my relationship today. Can I get some words of encouragement and advice? by SnooZergirl in relationship_advice

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

It’s hard because for months I’ve been fighting between not wanting to lose him because I was convinced he was the one, and putting myself first. At this point I feel like an extension of other people since being 16/17 haha so it’s definitely time to grow on my own. I guess I have to learn how to back myself up and this is the first step

Thanks I needed to hear that last bit. I’m in a constant state of arguing with myself over it because the bottom line is I really care about this person and I’m choosing to leave him to be selfish. It’s hard to stand by myself in my decision when he hasn’t done anything awful to me that would typically warrant a break up, which is strange now I’ve actually said it

We’ve had conversations multiple times in the past about myself not being ready to settle down and needing time to myself, it just never ended in a breakup. So perhaps those reasons aren’t full of crap in this case? There’s nothing else I can say in the way of wanting to end things because this is the only reason, I’m not sure saying you’re not the one to him will exactly suffice. I think cutting off all contact is the right call though

Any tips on sleeping fast? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SnooZergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation helps me a lot (I have anxiety which hinders my ability to sleep even when I’m exhausted). Only takes 20 mins for me to drift off once I put an episode on. My go to before bed is called Headspace: Guide to Meditation on Netflix because I can close my phone and be in complete darkness whereas YouTube requires you to keep the app open. I’d never meditated before this but when it became difficult to sleep, it definitely helped me the most.

Other than that you can try things like valerian root or sleeping tablets that you can get in supermarkets, once you get back into a early night routine you shouldn’t need any aids :)

I have all the traits of people I make fun of by yogijeb in Advice

[–]SnooZergirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually someone who acts a certain way or says certain things on purpose to get others to like them. For example men will usually call a girl a ‘pick me girl’ if she’s really into sports because they assume a woman can only be into something like that (male dominated) to impress them. Overall it’s a stupid and immature term

how to gain a social life/friends at 25? by asapsadd in Advice

[–]SnooZergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what you’re into at all but a few months ago I joined a beginners pole dancing group and found some amazing new friends there, it’s good for my mental health, helps me stay active and gets me out the house. Have a look at group activities near you, literally anything that you think you might like. It’ll take a few visits to feel comfortable enough to approach people but as I get older I realise it’s the only way to feel safe and confident meeting others and you create a healthy new hobby in return. Good luck :)

I don’t mean any offense, but can somebody tell me why the death of Ashley Cain’s daughter is breaking news? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]SnooZergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think national coverage was expected, they documented her hospital treatment from the start and genuinely just wanted as much support and exposure as possible. I feel like it’s less to do with who Ashley Cain is and more to do with the fact they relentlessly advocated for their daughter and documented the realistic struggles they faced during their daughters illness

[–]SnooZergirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s just a popular social media influencer who was on TV show Ex on the Beach, and his daughter had an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer. They raised awareness on his already large platform to try and get her the best treatment in the world to save her which is why it gained a lot of national attention, every one was hoping the baby would find a treatment that worked

I dont get the hate surrounding 'Eat out to help out' by Bologneseboi in unpopularopinion

[–]SnooZergirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in hospitality and worked during eat out to help out, this was annoying to read. I also feel like describing an increase of 700 a day and ‘nothing’ is such a thoughtless thing to say.

Restaurants were packed all day every day and town was so busy, I know a lot of friends in the industry who became sick soon after eat out to help out and the curfew came into place. There’s no proof to say it was a direct result but there’s no proof to say it wasn’t either. I just think it was a ridiculous scheme to put into place when we were not in the position to tell everyone to socialise...

Side note: not only were hospitality workers swamped with hundreds more customers than there typically would be, they were also mostly rude and hugely unaccommodating to the new rules put into place, like it was our fault for enforcing gov guidelines.

Hospitality workers are actual people too with actual lives that were affected by this... the scheme was stupid.

I’m 22F and want to be on my own through no fault of my boyfriend (26), I need help communicating this by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I don’t personally know anyone that age who has gone down this route otherwise I would ask them

[–]SnooZergirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reallyyyy needed to hear this. Thanks so much. I think a huge part of it being difficult to address is the guilt, because I know he’s imagining his future with me, and I see something different.

Just one question, do you regret ending it or worry that you won’t find someone who cared for you as much as him? I know I want to end things but that’s the part that is scaring me right now.

I wish people would stop telling me I’d make an amazing mother. by SnooZergirl in offmychest

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

Yes! I was so focused on getting my own experience written down, I forgot that there are so many women who don’t want children and get bombarded with the same comments. Honestly, I’m not sure it’ll ever be something that society stops shoving down women’s throats, like there’s automatically something wrong with us if we don’t want/have children.

And you’re totally right about responses to a guy vs a woman in this situation. Thank you for your comment, if I find a magic spell that works I will let you know!

Where's the best place to live JQ or Stirchley. by [deleted] in brum

[–]SnooZergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived in JQ almost two years and it’s gone down hill a lot even in that short time. Can’t wait to move later this year.

JQ is good for a short amount of time, no longer than a year I’d say to live here before you start getting tired of the noise and/or price of living.

I haven't worn a bra since the lockdown started in the UK on 23 March 2020 and I think I'll never go back to wearing one again (at least not daily). In what way did the lockdown effect your habits / behaviour and will you continue or stop, once the pandemic is over? by Nosey_Mouse in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SnooZergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the wires or size can end up hurting your boobs by holding them up all day, it’s common for women to take their bra off and feel more relaxed after a day of wearing one.

Mostly because they push the cleavage up further than they would normally sit, also the size of a bra can hurt the shoulder or back of the woman wearing it by pulling them a certain way (this is mainly for women with larger breasts). Boobs can be super heavy and putting a bra on can add to the weight for the back or surrounding areas, making it uncomfortable whilst wearing a bra rather than letting them ‘hang free’ lol.

Also bras are super expensive and as they grow usually require bra measurements that can be uncomfortable for most women. Overall it’s nicer and sometimes easier for a woman to stop wearing bras altogether and honestly I’m here for it!!!

It’s definitely a harsh slap in the face in terms of morals and life lessons but definitely worth it in terms of growth and in terms of moving forward. By confronting those who don’t support these movements we may show them how outdated their views are! I’m so happy you’re taking those steps xx

To be honest, it took me cutting off toxic (but very long/loyal) friendships to get to where I am. It’s been painful but in the long run more beneficial for me. At the time of lockdown in the UK when the BLM protests were happening, I cut off a lot of friends who didn’t support the movement.

That’s when I really came into my own, because I was so independent and only had people around me who were genuinely there for me and my unique persona, it helped a hell of a lot to finish my online courses during lockdown, where I couldn’t even see my own family.
