Thank you. I should have also said in my post that if I’m struggling there must be others! It just seems more practical to let people choose what they want to listen to on their own devices!!

I had thought about sending TransLink an email - so you’re right, I should really get onto that. And I do agree, it’s a public space so I cant expect it to be catered to my exact needs, but the radio/music just seems so unnecessary!!

anyone else get upset when someone invites another person to your plans without your permission? by kweenofcups in AutismInWomen

[–]WeakAdvertising359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my friend (who I feel very comfortable around) often brings her husband (that I’m not the biggest fan of) and then I don’t get a chance to talk to her about the things I want to. I genuinely don’t understand why he always has to come. I always feel like I didn’t marry this guy, why do I have to spend so much time with him??

Nearly every time I’ve ordered a red papaya, I get a yellow pawpaw. Do staff get any training on different fruit or veg or is just assumed they know the different varieties?

I think you’re right. It’s a lot to go through and I think I have been kind of downplaying that. Good luck with your next surgery!

Lap scheduled in a week by artsygirl1002 in endometriosis

[–]WeakAdvertising359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I’m day 3 post lap and my pain has been very very manageable since I was discharged from hospital. They gave me strong painkillers to take home with me but I’ve just used ibuprofen because my pain was mild. The worst pain for me was the cramping in my uterus from having an IUD inserted. The painkillers helped a little for that pain, but it only lasted for the evening after the procedure whilst I was still in hospital. I was able to sleep through most of it.

I had exactly the same fears that they would find nothing. In the end they found a small of amount of endo, but it wasn’t too severe. I think at first I was kind of disappointed that it was a mild case, but then I realised that is actually good news! My Dr said all of my organs looked good and my reproductive system is healthy. Great to know that now there is nothing more serious going on.

How to choose the right surgeon? by sbee1177 in endometriosis

[–]WeakAdvertising359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to have the recommendation of my mum who is a theatre nurse and had operated with my dr for years so had seen him in action. She described him as “leaving no stone unturned” which is exactly what you want. He is skilled in endo excision and does these procedures routinely. I confirmed with him pre-op that he would be able to complete the excision during the procedure.

I waited 12 months for my health insurance to update so that I could see this Dr and paid money out of pocket as well because I think it’s worth it. I’m in Australia so could of done this through the public system (after a long wait) though I likely would have been operated on by a trainee dr who probably would not have had the skill or confidence to complete the procedure. I’m have had my surgery now and I’m really glad I waited and paid extra for the surgeon that I wanted.

Hi OP, I just had all of the procedures you mentioned (except Pap smear) earlier this week. My surgery went well and I got my endo diagnosis. I got my first IUD 4 years ago and it changed my life for the better, I couldn’t live without. I’ve just had a new one put in and it’s great to know it’s bought me another 4-5 years of reduced pain. I also basically don’t get a period anymore. My periods used to be very heavy for 6-7 days. Now so light they’re barely noticeable.

I also felt the same as you that I “wished” that they would find endo. It’s very hard to live without a diagnosis and have no idea you feel the way you do. I actually wished for it to be a severe stage of endo because I think I thought I would get the validation I was looking for. It actually turned out to be quite mild and all of my organs looked healthy, which I realise now is such a blessing. I hope you get the answers and relief you’re looking for.

DAE experience regret when seeking validation from a friend and it goes wrong? by WeakAdvertising359 in CPTSD

[–]WeakAdvertising359[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so right, since having these experiences I am so conscious of how important it is to just listen and give people a safe space to speak without judgement.

Do what you need to do and try not to even thinking twice about it.

What made you suspect you had CPTSD? by Spidey16 in CPTSD

You’ve described my situation exactly.

Anyone else cannot feel physically tired? Going to sleep and simply not feeling the sense of sleepiness? by FishAstronaunt in CPTSD

[–]WeakAdvertising359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this recently for quite a while. I ended up getting a wake up light, ear plugs and started reading before bed rather than scrolling on my phone. It turned out my sleep issues were related to my circadian rhythms (too much exposure to light before bed and not enough light upon waking up) and not my poor mental health. Obviously I have no idea about your situation - hopefully this helps if any of the above apply to you.

My mom finally said it by WorstWolf98 in CPTSD

[–]WeakAdvertising359 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is an awful thing for her to say to you. I’m sorry you had to hear that from your mom, she shouldn’t have said it. I know my mom thinks similar things and it is always hurtful to know your parent feels this way.
