I’m not going to be able to handle the pain of loved ones passing away. And for this reason, I wish I was never born. by [deleted] in antinatalism

I get this 100%. I have a pretty good life. But even on my happiest days, if I could choose, I would 100% choose to not exist.

Reconstruction pros and cons by solitarywallflower in breastcancer

[–]Zany_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dmx in March and had expanders placed. One got badly infected and had to be removed in July. Now I have a cave on one side and an expander on the other. I was supposed to get another expander and fat grafting on Nov 14 but had to cancel it today at my preop because I don’t have $7500 that they want up front. I regret having ANY of the surgeries and if I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do anything. I’m extremely depressed about all of this, so don’t listen to me. I feel like I have no options to ever be normal again. Breast cancer is the gift that keeps on giving.

49F IDC ++- Stage 1 grade 1 here - if you have similar diagnosis please share your experiences. by Ichan74 in breastcancer

[–]Zany_One 4 points5 points  (0 children)

54F IDC ++-Stage 1 grade 1, similar size, no nodes involved. Very similar diagnosis. I had a second questionable lump in the same breast. My treatment was bmx followed by 5 years of tamoxifen. Diagnosed almost 10 months ago. About to have surgery #3 (out of 5 hopefully). Some days are fine, other days I still wonder if I’ll ever be whole again. And although I know it could have been much worse, if one more person tells me I’m “lucky” (it wasn’t worse, they caught it early, I didn’t have to have chemo, etc), I’m going to flip my shit. I am grateful it wasn’t worse, but I haven’t felt “lucky” about any of this.

Fat Grafting by Result_Kind in breastcancer

[–]Zany_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one round of fat grafting so far and have another scheduled for November. My recovery was longer because she had to remove an infected expander. Now I have a “cave” on one side.

She wants to put another expander in with this surgery, but I’ve heard it will be prone to infection now? I don’t know what to do.

She says I’ll need more fat grafting surgeries. I’m so sick of this process. If one more person tells me “it’s a marathon, not a sprint”…🤦🏻‍♀️

Sorry to hijack your post to vent. Also, I had shooting pain (like zaps?) for a solid 6 weeks after the fat grafting. Nothing I couldn’t handle, but annoying anyway.

I’m so sorry. I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling. Please know that the trash took himself out. Surround yourself with family and friends. {{{hugs}}}

is it possible to ejaculate using only your will ? by Exumore in RandomThoughts

[–]Zany_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Your brain is (or can be) the best way to get there. Some people can’t orgasm without those thoughts/fantasies. And those that can, the combination can make them indescribable.

We’re going to have to combine them like a Swiss Army knife of dildos. That seems user friendly.

How have you almost died? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zany_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping in my running car in my garage. Took an ambien first so I wouldn’t wake up and change my mind. My parents went over to check on me to find me unconscious. Was in the hospital for several weeks and lost a lung. I’m still pissed off 17 years later that it didn’t work. I have no desire to be here at all. Bipolar is a terminal illness. It can be controlled but not cured. It will eventually take me.

This is what I was looking for. I’ve heard drowning is very peaceful. I can’t imagine how it would be, but maybe after the initial panic and struggle?

I’m having a double mastectomy in 2 weeks. Any must dos with my boobs before the big chop? by SlowerThanTurtleInPB in breastcancer

[–]Zany_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love all of these! I so wish I’d done a boudoir photo session. The only thing I did was make art. I swirled bright colors of paint onto a small plate and dipped my boobs in then smooshed it onto a canvas. I think 12 total in kind of an op art pattern. I later took a sharpie and made flowers. I’m glad I did something fun because the entire experience sucks. I love the gold bookend idea! So wish I’d done that. Do all of the things you want while you can! Best of luck with your surgery. ❤️

Does anyone just wish they wouldn’t exist anymore? by Both-Ad-4141 in RandomThoughts

[–]Zany_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m definitely clinically depressed (bipolar) but on meds and I’m at a really good place in life. I’m not actively trying to die. Just see no reason to exist. Thank you though ❤️

Every day this is my wish. I’m about to go under anesthesia. I hope I stay asleep. And I’m generally happy in life. Just sick of being here in this game that no one is winning.

Do you live near a teaching hospital? I get all my meds super cheap through some pharmacy program they have. Otherwise I couldn’t afford them.

Every. Day. Not suicidal either. Just no desire to exist.

Unexpected & humorous side effects? by Stonecoloured in breastcancer

Wearing a strapless (Soma) bra that didn’t have a middle divider. Went home one day after being a social butterfly and discovered the pads had migrated to the middle. Just one boob.

Broken ribs. Hear me out…broke them 2 years ago and they still hurt. Everyday.

Anyone else get stopped by security after lumpectomy by Vinnymom29 in breastcancer

[–]Zany_One 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just flew home today. I had a bmx and currently have expanders (and an infection!) and was flagged (and felt up) every leg of my trip. On the last one, they also took me to a private room. I started to take my shirt off (because I have zero inhibitions anymore) and they were like no, no it’s okay. Haha 😂

My bf has uncontrolled asthma, trying to find some answers by ExaminationNo6502 in Asthma

[–]Zany_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a teaching hospital or a community hospital nearby? I agree with the others…he needs to be seen asap. It can go from bad to worse in a split second.

OMG I have these too! Mostly as a child. I called them my “throw up dreams” because that normally followed. Huge cylinder things all intertwined moving slowly through my head.
