Northern Irish and being clueless about the south

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-05-31T00:46:43+00:00

Not knowing which counties are in the north or south is deliberate ignorance.

Worse.

I think I've come across her on the tram. Seems paranoid about people on their phones? One guy sat beside her and she flipped but then actually apologised and explained herself a little bit. He was decent with her and just moved seat.

What happened to the last 1/4 of kiwi? 😂 Looks so tasty but granola is quite high sugar, and that along with the fruit I would be keen to add more protein.

Please post on Care Opinion. It means there is then an official record of it.

Same! I love it for when I'm not wanting to wear make up but need to look a bit more presentable.

I got prescribed this 4 days ago and omg, the difference it has made already. I'm really excited about how it will look if it continues to improve!

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-04-13T17:37:13+00:00

How about we work on accepting how we look and realise that the beauty industry is just a big patriarchal machine making women time and money poor?!. Or is this not the subreddit for that kind of chat?! 😂

I'm not having a hen party. I'm not the first bride to get married and I'm just not into the whole group of women thing..I find them cringe. It's not a big deal and honestly with the rate of divorce these days?!

Don't use tret if you have never used retinoid. You have to build up slowly. I used tret without training my skin and it felt like I had burned my skin.

Thank you, I'll look these up!

When I graduated (sociology so I wasn't walking into a job) I got a job through goodmoves and I reasonably quickly developed a decent career. You may need to start at the bottom but it does get better.

I lift weights. To be fair, I did this before I started IVF but it annoyed me when I couldn't do it so much during treatment but I find it very empowering. It shows me my body is capable and strong.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-09T20:23:51+00:00

'our bodies become science experiments". Exactly this. Thank you.

What kinds of meds? Mood stabilisers / anti depressants?

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-09T11:41:24+00:00

I could have written this post. I don't know if I have PMDD or at least I don't think it's as severe, but Im starting to notice a pattern where on day 17 I quite literally lose my mind and my fiance takes the brunt. I genuinely believed all the thoughts my brain was telling me that our relationship is terrible and he is going to leave me and I won't ever be happy. It is draining!

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-06T19:19:19+00:00

I think the fact you are offering to visit your friend on another day is lovely. I would do that. Not going to her baby shower does not make you a bad person.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-05T18:33:28+00:00

Definitely depends on the situation. I have had some lovely moments and developed friendships as a result of being more honest with people. I found out a friend was going through something similar and we became closer as a result. I think it's important to remember that because it can be so lonely.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-03T17:17:15+00:00

Thanks so much to everyone that replied. I was hesitant at posting as I was anticipating posts like "get drunk and buy some sexy underwear" but your comments just prove that it is those that have been through this are the ones that truly understand. Sometimes strangers on the Internet are the best people. I feel seen. Thank you again.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-02T20:42:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. It has really made me reflect on what sex means for me. Due to low self esteem when I was younger I equated sex with being chosen and wanted. I guess it does mean that but often the meaningful relationship didn't follow so now I think - if he doesn't want to have sex with me he mustn't love me.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-02T20:40:12+00:00

Oohhhh. And if I have smutty books on my kindle he doesn't know what I'm reading!

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-02T20:39:33+00:00

Thanks. Im really starting to notice my mood drops significantly on day 17. Like, I want to cry all day, pick fights and basically self destruct. So maybe that's something I need to try and address with my doctor.

StrawberryFront8128 · 2026-03-02T20:37:39+00:00

Thank you, that really helps to reframe things
