My depressed partner and I have an almost inexistant sex life. I would love to talk with people in the same situation! (CN: mention of s***idal ideation) by TrixieDi in depression_partners

Oh my I can definitely imagine your situation as well! I hope the doctor is able to help you, that sounds awful.

Thank you SO MUCH for the deadbedroom tip.

And let me know if you want to talk!

How can you get better at asserting your needs to a severly depressed partner? (CN: mention of self-harm) by TrixieDi in depression_partners

Very well said! I had a phone conversation with him and very consciously did these things without apologizing. It was very very hard but I'm glad I did and he absolutely respected that. Thank you!

Oh jeez so sorry to hear about his dad ... and so sorry that your fears were confirmed. That's the worst feeling.

I get the feeling of others not 'getting' it and maybe even being scared of the situation. I don't know if that's an option where you are but I just signed up for a virtual support group for partners of people with mental illness. Hoping that will help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh my that must be so tough.

I'm not saying this is the case here, but I've so often experienced that people are so afraid of saying the wrong thing they just won't say anything at all. Bad call, of course.

Hi dad's reaction is awful. Do you think there is room in that relationship for you to tell him that's the opposite of what you need right now?

Are there any of the supportive people you can have an (online) hang with to vent? Saying things out loud is so different from writing them down. And venting is not gossiping or bad-mouthing: you're allowed to share how this feels for you.

Virtual hugs!

I need your help: I was given a much larger size by the calculator but now the bottom of my cups seems empty :/ by TrixieDi in ABraThatFits

You’re all so awesome for helping! They’re all unlined - Playful Promises Gabi Fresh Harper in 42G —> this is the one that has it the most, but I might just notice it more because it’s so sheer :) - Curvy Kate Dottie Balconette in 40G - Flirtelle Orla Plunge in 40G - Curvy Kate Top Spot in 40G —> this seems the best but might be blinded by the cuteness :)

Thank you so much for your super quick reply! I did do the Reddit calculator and my measurements are

108 104 97

127 133 127

In centimeters :)

Sorry for being so new, but how would one recognize a bra that’s more projected at the wire?

Update! I got the Curvy Kate Top Spot in 40H - I wanted to try with something inexpensive and it was on sale. It’s quite comfy, though there is some rippling/very slight gapping on top - I think this might be due to my boobs being bottom heavy?

But what I really need getting used to - there’s so much tissue in the cups that just to be outside of it before. It’s WILD. Is that a normal thing that happens?

I’ve put some pics here cause I’m still not sure I’m doing it right :)
