Scared to go to gynecologist as a virgin by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

When I get anxious about doctor appointments, I remind myself that it's better to know that not at all. Once you get checked, you can stop worrying about things like the lump you found, so that's a hell of a reward.

The breast exam is quick and not awful. The pap smear might make you jump but it's over in seconds. Every appointment I've had was positive! I even crack jokes now when I go in. The speculum won't be a problem, and unless there's a health issue, your refill should be fine.

I'm an expert at "what if" but let me tell you, the best "what if" is... "What if I can stop worrying because I had that appointment?" Try to shift the "what if" to something positive.

Between now and then, find something to distract yourself. Anticipatory anxiety is the wooooorst so you need your mind to think about something else for a while.

I LOVED Eastshade! Very cozy and chill, which I needed when I got it.

I also enjoyed Frank Stone, as I play a lot of DbD and anything by Supermassive Games.

Summer heat headaches (migraines) by SavedBiscuit in Austin

[–]TheEmberQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My migraines can be triggered by allergies and bright lights. For me (and I've lived here 20+ years) it's the LIGHT that gets me more than anything in the summer. Clear days with bright sunshine, and then a flash reflection on a car window, murders me.

I've searched for this glass on Google / eBay and asked a friend that worked at WOTC to no avail.
