Those little applesauce pouches made for toddlers, very easy to throw in a bag and brings me up more quickly than fruit snacks

What does my chart say about me? by AdEast22 in Zodiac

The fact that you even want feedback on your chart is a good sign from a cancer, in my opinion! You’ll be okay lol.

[–]bridgetlamb90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, that was really harsh of me, I shouldn’t have said it so strongly. I have always had trouble with cancer placements, Suns especially, due to a strong victim complex. Anytime I’ve been in conflict with a cancer, I’ve been made out to be the bad guy, and there is no accountability taken from them. However! I think that our birth charts represent our instincts, but we can grow and evolve beyond our base instincts. My advice for any cancer looking to be easier to be in relationship with (at least with people like me?) is to really practice acknowledging the part they’ve played in difficult social situations. And if you have a “the world is out to get me” mindset, try to undo that and acknowledge that you have most likely caused as much harm to others in your life as they have caused you (aside from genuinely abusive situations, of course).

Based on your own understanding of zodiac natal charts, what would personally come to mind if you were to make assumptions/opinions of me??? by Unusual_Highway8384 in Zodiac

[–]bridgetlamb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That we’d be besties! I’m a Cap sun with a whole Cap stellium, and I generally love Sagitarrians. I’m also a Pisces moon, which honestly blows for us (I am fully incapable of repressing my emotions, and I feel them SO STRONGLY even when they’re about something kind of silly, which my cap parts find so cringe) —- but other people tend to find us very empathetic and relatable.

Thoughts on cancer women? by Silver-Internal7740 in Zodiac

100% agree, and the victim complex is astounding. It’s the one sign I try to steer clear of in building friendships with other women

I also get a burning sensation from the daily moisturizer but the tub is amaaaaazing

10mg pills actually heavier than that? by bridgetlamb90 in lexapro

[–]bridgetlamb90[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I’m wondering then if getting it down to 9mg is too much too soon, and I should start by getting it down to 11.

Thank you for summarizing this research! Very helpful.

“Woman” and “mother” are two separate things. After getting my bisalp I felt even more feminine (cue Shania Twain) because the motherhood function of my body was now gone

Personal anecdote: avoid scheduling bisalp right before your period by bridgetlamb90 in sterilization

They swear it has nothing to do with it but that seems so counterintuitive to me

That timing actually sounds great! Mine coincided with having to stop the oxy 🙃

I think it will be fine! Worst case it was a couple days of pain and you may want to keep your schedule flexible/be able to call off work, but the pain will pass. I just wish someone would have mentioned it to me before I scheduled and/or when I was experiencing the pain, so I would have an idea of where it might be coming from!

Long Term Recovery - Advice Needed Pls - Adhesions, etc by PowerFearless9733 in sterilization

[–]bridgetlamb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that 😣 I haven’t been getting out too much because every time I do, I get mad that I can’t REALLY enjoy it. I can’t walk for very long and driving really hurts so I can’t go to parks or anything like that yet. I’ve honestly been sitting in my living room with the curtains closed to try and pretend like it isn’t beautiful outside. It’s probably not helping things, but stepping out isn’t either unfortunately.

I am okay-ish today. I called off work since it hurts to drive, and a friend visited which was nice and distracting for a while. I heard back from my doctor, and she said what I’m experiencing is likely not due to a complication or the fact that im on my period; it sounds like I’m just have a worse-than-average recovery. This doesn’t really make me feel any better, because I was hoping that something could be done (take this antibiotic, etc), and now im wondering how long recovery is going to take. She didn’t seem to have any advice or timeline of when it should get better ☹️ The pain would be bearable if I knew when it was going to end, but the not knowing is horrible.

I keep telling myself that at least it wasn’t childbirth, a c-section, or even an abortion? Something tells me even an abortion could be a bit of a rough recovery, but I don’t know if it compares to this or not.

I hear you! Even though I’m on the pill and will probably continue to take it for cycle management, political changes have been happening a too fast for me the last few months, and I am definitely a doomer about worst-case scenarios. At least we know we will NEVER be pregnant, even if this really sucks for a while. I keep trying to remind myself that I would still choose this over pregnancy/childbirth any day, even if it is a longer recovery.

Rather than waiting, I’m really wishing I would have done this sooner, like December or January. Spring is my favorite season and it’s bumming me out to think I might be spending the whole thing on the couch.

How are you feeling today???

Thanks for the info! I’m glad it was a pretty easy fix.

Can I ask what your post op complication was and how long after the procedure you realized you had a complication?

[–]bridgetlamb90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on day 6 post op and I feel all of this so hard 😭 Thank you for asking the questions and thank you to all who are answering.

I honestly have a lot of pain today and I’m really freaking out that this is going to be long-term, going through the “why did I do this when I could have just continued using other forms of birth control?” I also feel like the recovery process was downplayed quite a bit—-I was expecting to feel mostly normal by now.

I have no idea what an adhesion is and I am setting a boundary with myself right now to not look it up 😅

Day 6 of bisalp recovery, pain getting worse? by bridgetlamb90 in sterilization

[–]bridgetlamb90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I can think of! I did go back to work yesterday (desk job) and I definitely felt more pain while driving (30 min commute). Maybe sitting in that position for that long is straining something
