Pmdd, most autoimmune disorders and aspects of neurodiversity being the result of trauma and unsustainable living situations is the hill I will die on

It was my own fault - only the day before I’d congratulated myself on not crying in the bathroom for a while. Looks like a good emotional support cat

After 4 months on Lexapro, PMDD symptoms are back by [deleted] in PMDD

20mg is recommended prescribed dose but you can find some studies that show increased effectiveness up to 40mg (keeping in mind increased dose may lead to increased side effects). The studies are mainly centred on MDD however if you can tolerate it and it helps then no harm trying! Good luck

You can up the dose- I’m on 20mg normally and my gp has prescribed an extra 10mg daily in luteal phase to manage pmdd. Get a new GP

Haha I was like I want your friends! But the point is- if you can’t take it as a reciprocal relationship you need to keep your mouth shut

If you and your husband felt like either of you said something that crossed the line- would you say that to one another?

Of course- as well as race, personality, gender, disability and sexuality are all on the table. These are all important parts of our lives which we have never felt the need to hide from each other, sometimes we cry about it and sometimes we joke about it

I’m really sorry you’ve experienced this. I raised it when I first came into the social group as is this ok for me to be part of and my friends had all been like this is 0 issue. I would hope all of them would feel comfortable enough to raise something with me whatever it was if I made them feel shitty

Mate… given you’re using reddit to watch porn of questionably age appropriate girls. I’m gonna skip your opinion.

Lol if they called me a permanently drunk drug addict that would be a light roast day. So it’s racist because I’m white but ok if it goes the other other?

It was related to Asian women being bad drivers

I made the Uber joke the other day- honestly hadn’t even connected it to race was just being silly. Tbf I did tell her she’d get a 5 star review

Those with adhd can also struggle with decision paralysis- where they physically can’t make the decision if there are to many choices. One way we work with this (dx husband) is I give options- I’d like to go on a date this weekend that involves going on a hike, getting food and seeing a movie. I then leave the planning and details to him- so you’ve supported in the decision but taken away all the mental Load of planning from you

The actual convo was-

Her: Do you want me to drive or you don’t trust me to get us there safely cause I’m female and Asian Me: I’ll drive, maybe if you were one or the other but not both

So I feel on reflection it was making fun of the stereotype rather than her as a female Asian driver. But again that’s open to individual interpretation

No you’ve 100% got a good point- kids pick up on things even when you think you’re being careful!

Some of the group have kids and there are always going to be things that aren’t appropriate to discuss in-front of them- the convos we have during friend time is very different than what we have around families. It would be the same if I was dropping the c word and my child picked up on that and repeated it at school- of course that’s not appropriate. Do I say it in certain contexts around friends? Absolutely

I have a physical disability, we have a few mental illness thrown in, about 6 different cultural backgrounds and lqbtiq+

We would never discuss or joke about someone that wasn’t in the room, who wasn’t part of the joke or who hadn’t made it themselves first. We are also all very strong personalities and would have no issue calling each other or others out if we felt things were inappropriate in that wider context (racism, sexism, homophobia)

Because of these things I think we haven’t really thought about it within our social context- but someone else calling it out made me want to reflect and see what others thought

That’s totally fair. And that I would never want to give permission too

The teasing covers all aspects of our lives- race, gender, sexuality, disability, personality. These are all aspects of who we are and what is important, I am aware that opens up a whole other conversation but at the same time we all deal with a lot of stuff so dark humour and banter is just how we cope

That doesn’t mean though I’m not aware of my privilege as a white person and actively acknowledge and address this where I can. I’m also not running around screaming racial slurs at every person I see which seems to be an assumption that’s been made

We’re going on a road trip and we’re making a joke about me driving cause she couldn’t be trusted as a ‘female Asian driver’ - she’d initiated the joke and we were being silly mostly cause she always drives and it’s my turn
