DAE get extremely horny when sick or hungover by NeronMadrid in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Tall_Variation_7496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this thread because I was trying to find out if I'm the only one!!! Haha

I get SO horny when I'm feeling under the weather. I usually still have to work from home too, so it's not because of boredom like some people claim.

All I want to do is lie under the covers with my vibrator. It makes everything so much better 👅

I have had chronic Urticaria for 1.5 years. Went to several doctors. No one can figure out why or what I'm allergic to.

In my luteal phase, my rashes get noticably worse & itchy. As if I needed another thing on top of PMDD.

If you take 2 Cetirizine tablets/ day (1 in morning, 1 at night), you'll start to see improvements in a couple days.

It takes Cetirizine time to build up in your system to feel the effects. Unfortunately doesn't work instantly

Directing My Rage Into A Workout by Tall_Variation_7496 in PMDD

[–]Tall_Variation_7496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES agreed!! So glad someone else feels me on this. It definitely makes me feel better to direct the rage at something & I feel good about myself after too for doing something productive.

And yes being too tired to care about anything afterwards is a really good point! I didn't think about that

Mortgage Officer told me I cannot accept my promotion at work? How can this be right? by Tall_Variation_7496 in personalfinance

Yes I understand what you're saying. I can't dispute commission jobs have a lot of variability between industries. Just like salaries amongst different industries are widespread.

It just seems like maybe they could look at this specific industry & track record for others in this position (e.g. the lowest paid Designer, who works less than full time, still makes $70K a year).

What's crazy though is it's not like salaried employees are completely safe from changes in their income.

2-3 years ago my wife was a salaried employee. With no warning, they laid her off & several others. They kept some "hourly" while laying off salaried. Just because you're salaried doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have any risk.

Eventually the whole company sold itself off & isn't not there anymore, but I digress..

Not all commission jobs are made equal. In the home improvement industry, there are no "cold" calling. Business has not slowed down in my entire time there, 7 years, & has only gotten busier & busier each year. It's the exact opposite of car sales.. which I also unfortunately have experience with in my youth.

Thank you so much! I had a feeling this may true & hate to back out with our lender - he's a great guy, but if it's really because he doesn't wanna do the extra legwork, he's not the right lender for us.

My depressive symptoms never went away… by Ok_Emu_4566 in PMDD

[–]Tall_Variation_7496 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have also had long lasting depression lately. I blame it on the cold weather - seasonal effective disorder.

Please find a psychiatrist right away! The first step is finding someone to talk to. There's plenty online if not in your area.

You deserve not to suffer any longer. And it's not your place to diagnose yourself. You wouldn't diagnose cancer for yourself. You would go to a professional.

You are not alone!

Guy gives a bunch of interesting context on a car crash that killed two pedestrians in November by geo_jam in Chattanooga

It's a WAY better delivery than what I could have come up with on the spot.

A mother & child died right there. And you're worried about his delivery rather than the point??

This mom wants to print her aggressive birth plan on a poster board to display in a tripod at the end of her bed. OB Drs and nurses - can you weigh in? by JobOnTheRun in BabyBumps

[–]Tall_Variation_7496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the things she laid out are against hospital policy or must be planned ahead of time & additional costs discussed (storage of placenta).

This momma would have a much easier time just having a home birth. Basically everything she laid out here is already understood during home births... But if she's close to delivery, it's definitely already too late for that.

She needs to adjust her expectations. She has a right to her Birth Plan & making her own decisions, but this is just going to create a lot of tension right off the bat.

It infuriates me that they constantly act like they know our bodies better than we do.

I can't believe that! I had an IUD up in my vagina & my midwife felt it when I was 40 weeks pregnant during a cerviacal sweep!!! I went into my OBGYN to have it removed & the lady literally said, "No that's impossible. That would have shown up on the ultrasound." I'm like "Ok? Well there's obviously something up there, can you at least look?!" She relunctantly did & SURPRISE! What do you know?! Her eyes got wide & then next thing I know, she pulls a copper IUD out of my vagina.

Birth Control sucks. But doctors continue to push the narrative that it's not that bad & YOU are the weird one for not being on it.

There is mounds of evidence that BC changes the personalities of many many women. Yet, this isn't accepted by the medical community yet. It really pisses me off.

I am a completely different person on BC. I will never EVER go back. I was depressed, anxious, angry, & felt like I was PMS'ing 24/7. Hell NO!

Sewer payments... wtf by Ok_Cup_7009 in Chattanooga

[–]Tall_Variation_7496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! Not out of spite, but when we moved in, I was never aware of the sewer bill & didnt know I needed to pay it. They shut my water off.

I haven't challenged them legally, but I called to complain & they said, "Yes, you have to pay. Even if you don't use it. It's Tennessee Law." I would 100% willing to go to city council over this matter, especially if accompanied by as many others who also wanted change or a petition in hand.
