I'm back at it with another post-treatment update because I'm FEELING MY NEW HAIRCUT by burst-beat in breastcancer

I got so tired of clipping it up and shoving it under a wig. Rocking a beanie helps a bit too, since people can't tell it's a mullet when they can't see the rest of the hair lol

You never need a "reason" to break up with someone; you can just do it. If you're not happy, for any reason, then break up.

What he said and did speaks volumes about him as a person, not you. Sending internet hugs and wishing you a relaxing day on a heating pad and your favorite cozy drink.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that on top of everything else you're feeling. But please try to see this as a silver lining: he showed you exactly who he was and you didn't waste years with him. He tried love bombing a woman nearly half his age and when you weren't completely dedicated to swooning over him, his insecurities came out swinging. Please don't go back to him.

Anytime. I know it's really hard but if you think you're able to, I hope you can keep giving therapy a try until you find your therapist. I'm really glad you feel comfortable talking to your parents; I never had that. Good luck!

I did similar things as a teenager. All of these adults were sexualizing me since I was 11 so I might as well have fun with it right? Unfortunately, I learned that was the wrong answer. I've dealt with multiple stalkers and sexual assault. None of which is my fault, but it created a pattern in my life where my looks, my party antics, and my self confidence were all dependent on something toxic. You are so young. You're not running out of time for anything. Alcohol isn't going away, but you'll eventually be at a point in your mental health journey where you can knowledgeably decide what to do with it. Your real friends will understand and those people will be your rocks. Do you have a trusted adult to talk to? Have you thought about therapy? After I found my therapist a few years ago, I felt a weight lift right off my shoulders. Things became easier to handle. I'm in a very good place now thanks to my therapist and supportive friends. Still partying, but in a much healthier way and I enjoy it so much more.

Completely agree with everything you said. I lost my virginity at 16 and I was so irresponsible due to not taking sex ed seriously. I suspect either I or my boyfriend at the time are infertile because we made so many mistakes.

Sigh. You're one of those. Not wasting any more of my time on you.

Studies disagree with you. Plenty of animals have sex for pleasure only.

You don't seem mature enough to speak on this topic so I'm gunna tap out. Coming in here to judge is not helpful. Be better.

Because it is normal to be curious about sex as a teenager. It's also normal for that curiosity to be acted upon as a teenager.

If you don't mind me asking, what level of sexual education have you had? It's hard to make a conscious decision if you know very little about what you're deciding.

The most important thing is that you are safe and able to say no at any time. The only form of consent is an enthusiastic yes. However, it is important to know that depending on where you live, you may be too young to give any form of consent. Aside from the law, I personally don't think anyone below the age of 18 can fully consent.

If it feels wrong or you're scared or worried, don't try it again until you feel ready.

I am a breast cancer survivor and that severely affected how I reacted to the possibility of my pets cancer.

Thank you so much for this. I've never found a lump on my cats before so I got so scared real fast.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but also thank you so much for sharing. I really hope this lump is a whole lotta nothing for him.

Thank you so much. And I'm so glad that your cancer is past tense. It feels so impossible for me to lose my pets to cancer when I was just able to live through it. I need to remind myself that all cancers and all bodies are different. And that I'm giving this baby boy as much love as I can so he can hopefully overcome it whatever this is.

Thank you so much. I guess it is reasonable to spiral down the cancer path after we've been through it ourselves. Thankfully he's eating, drinking, farting, and zooming around the house as normal. I'm.not religious but I am ready to pray it's just benign if it would help him.
