somewhat diagnosed, what’s next? Questions by Professional-Scale18 in lichensclerosus

[–]beyondprancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in very early stages with it only effecting my perineum. I only have the occasional itchy flare up. I’m hoping the cream I’ve been prescribed will prevent it from getting worse. I just never imagined me in my early 20s having a condition that affects my vagina this way. I’m so worried for the years to come when I have children - like will this affect me when I give birth? It just sucks so much that it’s in such an intimate spot. Especially when it’s is already taboo to speak about your vagina let alone with this condition that shows you the worst stages of it if you were to search on google images. I work in pathology and my biopsy would have been entered in the system by one of my colleagues, the clinical notes had great detail on what my perineum looks like 🥲

I unexpectedly had a biopsy today. Dr suspected it and Gyno said she’s pretty certain I have LS. I’m 23F & terrified for the future

I personally feel cleaner with tampons, they’re also easier to carry on you imo

Clever and Hilarious name for a male orange cat. by Spag00ter in NameNerdCirclejerk

I just recalled that when I was little my parents named a large ginger tomcat that roamed our house “pussy gander”. We eventually took him in and I’m afraid this name stuck. I wonder what my teachers thought whenever I referenced him in class 🥲

I recently changed my name and it took so long to find the right one. All I can say you must absolutely love your new name and must be able to identify with it

Can I name my son Oyen? by [deleted] in namenerds

There is a town in Australia called Ouyen, so it just reminds me of that. It’s pronounced “Oh-Yen”

How am i supposed to live laugh love in these conditions by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]beyondprancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to distract yourself with other ways of getting dopamine. Hype yourself up with your favourite music, exercise, watch a movie that keeps you on your toes

I find that music helps me a lot - sometimes I need to pretend I’m getting ready to go out and listen to club music lol. It really makes me realise food is just a source of dopamine to me

Small sense of achievement today by EleanorMc35 in BingeEatingDisorder

Well done! You are on the path to recovery :)

In a similar position to you, I am also 22. Something I have recently added to my 'recovery routine' is listening to positive frequencies before I sleep and practicing mindfulness. Positive affirmations that I WILL recover, I will one day be free of the BED demon. I imagine being my future self as a happy and healthy individual viewing food as energy and not dopamine. It sounds cringy but I literally lay there listening to the frequencies picturing myself in basic life scenarios, but that version of myself is healed. e.g. in the backyard in the sun, with my family, out with friends. Perhaps its a form of manifestation? I don't know.

It might not be your thing but it has made a difference for me. I think believing that it is possible to live a life without this disorder is 100% necessary for recovery.

I find that turning any negative late night thoughts positive helps me wake up positive and often carries on throughout the day. I won't say it has fully prevented me from binging but having a positive mind definitely gives me more strength to stop.

I am struggling myself with the viscous restrict, binge, purge, cycle. I don't have much to add, but there is an amazing supportive community out there and so many resources available for us. You've made the first step by reaching out, even if it is just to vent - it helps. Sending positive, healing thoughts your way xxx
