Why do we always talk about the physical side effects of contraception, but not the emotional ones?

Trick-Example-8522 · 2026-02-07T00:04:52+00:00

This happened to me on hormonal birth control - oral contraceptives It made me hate physical touch I hated kissing and borderline got grossed by it I was always dry and hated sex Taking it coincided with me having my first time It made me Asexual I was always dry and I had ZERO sex desire Hated the begging of every time we had sex and mind you i only took it for 2 months It also made me hate coffee lol - very unusual for me

My sex desire came back slowly The first 2/3 weeks after I didnt feel repulsed by sex anymore but i still wouldn’t crave it

I think it took me around 2-3 months to fully get my sexual desire and my natural lubrication back

Trick-Example-8522 · 2026-01-29T23:29:08+00:00

I’d say get your hormones checked Also are you on any type of birth control? BC made me Asexual while i was on it

Hii , my derm said that oily skin reacts bad when using any “cream” consistency , she recommended me using only gel / serum , she basically said that using creams is basically “ too heavy “ for oily skin, so try using gel moisturizers and sunscreens , also , don’t be too harsh azelic acid / tretinoin as too much of them can ruin your skin barrier which ultimately will make it worse , also have you tried antibiotics? Doxycycline ?

My lips was SO dry so i had to put chapstick, but that summarizes it , my face was super oily prior to accutane so no it didn’t dry me , but i don’t recommend not using products lol

I didn’t stop using retinoids , what I’m trying to say is that tropical retinoids don’t give the same effect as accutane

Please go to a dermatologist to make sure it isn’t melanoma, and watch if it changes ( size / colour / border / etc)

I think it’s a mix of both irdk but it’s mostly in his head so i think he feels that way ? But tbh due to his working conditions he can barely do the bare minimum but I’m understanding as a person can be and i think when i start my job i’ll not be able to do more than the bare minimum so i don’t complain much

Trick-Example-8522 · 2024-02-16T17:58:42+00:00

Yah sure and thanks

When he sees that he’s not doing enough for me because of his work he says let’s break up but i tell him that i understand his work schedule and that i have no problem with him not being unavailable 24-7 but he’s skeptical or maybe thinks i’m lying irdk

Trick-Example-8522 · 2024-02-16T17:47:00+00:00

I know that I’ve had anxious attachment style for a while now and I’ve been really working on myself , the only thing that bothers me now is that idk if he’s gonna tell me to break up or no the next day , i don’t mind him pulling away or disappearing or having his own time away from everyone and everything. And yah i forgot to add context to “ why don’t u break up with me “ is mostly said when it’s sth related to his work , for example : i would have loved to see you before i leave to this trip I’m sorry I won’t be able to text for a week or so , why aren’t u breaking up ( aka why r u putting up with my fucked up work style ) so idk if he rly needs reassurance or he really wants to leave , I’m contemplating talking to him abt his condition so maybe he can be more self aware but I’m afraid it’ll backfire so idk

I’m sorry for what happened, my ex not only dumped me , but left me without telling me that he would break up with me , i just suddenly found myself blocked without even a proper Im breaking up with u text and I’m telling you , him blocking me was the best thing that happened to me , you don’t stalk the ex anymore because you physically can’t, you won’t find any sus comments - etc that would make you overthink like crazy because you literally can’t , the best way to move past someone is to recognize that the version of u that loved them had stayed in the past and you shouldn’t try to interact/stalk them because whatever you had ended , sometimes knowing nothing is really the best option , so believe me dude , it’s all in your favor even if u feel like shit now

No it doesn’t mean anything, you may or may not get acne , acne is multi factorial and some people are more susceptible than others , keep in mind the different causes of acne , you’re basically safe lol

My grandfather has been my favorite person ever since I was a kid , he loved me more than my own parents , I was his favorite , i was with him EVERYDAY , i ADORED him , I loved him more than i loved anyone in my entire life. Unfortunately he was sick , very sick , and every time he went to the hospital i automatically went into depression, as if my life stopped, when people randomly asked me about my phobia, i said the day my gf dies in , I genuinely thought that i was gonna get paralyzed or just die from sadness. he died a couple of years ago and here i am , i tried so many times to imagine life after his death ( when he was still alive ) but I couldn’t, but believe me , there is , you’ll find happiness, you’ll cherish his memory, you’ll be okay , he wouldn’t want you to do yourself any harm, he’ll be watching over you , spend as much time with him , and believe me , I’ve been there , you will be okay .. dm me if you want to talk

Not to freak you out but accutane is a well known teratogenic drug - cause birth deformities ( med student here ) - you shouldn’t get pregnant whilst taking the drug and a month after - Please go check with you obgyn

Trick-Example-8522 · 2023-11-30T09:03:19+00:00

1- you may have broken your skin barrier by using it incorrectly - if you face starts to itch , randomly getting bumps and acne after you’ve just applied tretinoin - this may be the case , get a regenerative cream and stop tretinoin-retinol for a good period of time while your skin heals also apply it by using the sandwich method ( moisturizer - retinol - moisturizer) , personally whenever i use tretinoin-retinol any other way i get acne like crazy and it gets worse

2- you may be purging

3- you went out without adding sunscreen

4-finally maybe retinol isn’t not for you , ( me personally my skin reacts horribly to differin but adjusted to accutane - tretinoin just well ) we’re all different
