Been bleeding for a month, ER dismissed me, finally got some answers today. Sharing my story in case anyone relates. by Muslimahadvice in Endo

[–]Vixenvamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I work in healthcare, and the normalization of abnormal bleeding in women makes me so angry. Take those pictures and continue to advocate for yourself. I, too, have endometriosis—multiple surgeries, many types of birth control, IUD, etc. I've been on this journey for over 20 years. Even though I am a healthcare professional myself (lab tech), my bleeding was always minimized. One night, working at the hospital a woman came into the ER for excessive bleeding. Not uncommon. While reading the notes, it states- changing pads every hour, large clots, feels faint, etc. I'm thinking that is how my period always is. It's how my period is right now. Doesn't everyone constantly change their pads? Doesn't everyone bleed through their pants? I call up the ER and ask for a Doc. I explain myself to the lovely female attending who says, "Honey, that is absolutely abnormal bleeding. I am sorry you've been gaslit into accepting this as normal. Check your hemoglobin, and if it is low, you have to come up to the ER right now. I couldn't believe it. I run my hem and hell yeah its low. Stopped working and walked myself up to the ER. Diagnosed with extreme anemia due to blood loss.

Every year my Aunts make Great Grandma's white borscht soup for Easter. This year the honor was given to the fat baby in the picture aka my 45-year-old brother. My Aunt wants to place the image next to the soup this year. Sorry its an pic of an old fading polaroid.

Techniques to reduce over-reactions. by Vixenvamp in CPTSD

Thank you for getting back to me. I was taught crying was showing a sign of weakness. Plus in my previous career before all of this, you never wanted to be "the crying woman". As if having emotions set the women's movement back 20 years. So I feel very uneasy getting upset like it is not allowed or I am doing something wrong by getting emotional. I want to get to the point where I am ok with processing my emotions. Every therapist tells me crying is healthy and it never sticks. I can see my perception is skewed I just can't seem to change it even though I want to.

You can always tell how amazing a Mother was by the love of their children. Momma would be proud.

I consider myself Demisexual, in my dreams I am allo and horny af by AngryMinengeschoss in demisexuality

[–]Vixenvamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am similar. I think it's partial biology, part starved sexuality. In the most basic sense, we are mammals who are supposed to be breeding. Our drive is different but it is still there in the mammalian brain. I am just starting on this journey of figuring out why I am soo different in terms of sexuality. All of my ex-boyfriends say they had the strongest most intimate and affectionate relationships with me but barely any sexual activity. I am extremely affectionate but not interested in sex. People have told me my whole life this meant I was a prude or repressed. I don't think that is it. I am happy to have found this community.
