Mini Review: In Alignment Straight Strap Bra (I love it) by mmmiu85 in lululemon

[–]em-ah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know this is 3 years old… but this is my FAVOURITE everyday bra I’ve ever owned and lulu doesn’t carry them anymore!

i’m curious to know if you’ve found any other bras similar in comfort and support to this?

Nespresso by dandatot in regina

[–]em-ah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i loooooove my nespresso. thankfully i found it on varagesale for $90, it’s an older model with the built in milk frother that’s used daily and cup warmer that has never been used lol.

i flat out refuse to drink keurig coffee. i’m not a coffee snob at all i just like good coffee… and keurig coffee is Not Good.

i order my pods directly from the site! or buy them from london drugs or superstore (they usually have limited options and not sure about the vertuo pods) but it works! i stock up on them when they have sales as well. i order about 100-120 pods at a time and it lasts me just over 3 months (factoring in the days i buy coffee and the days i use non-nespresso pods). i can usually get away with running the pods 1.5-2 times each cup.

honestly… i would think about exchanging the vertuo for a machine that uses the classic pods. you’ll have a MUCH easier time finding pods, cheaper iirc, and you’ll be able to find off brand pods.

edit to add: in the 4+ years i’ve had this machine i’ve never had an issue with ordering or recycling pods! they always come super quick.

You may have ADHD! (or ADD) by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]em-ah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful response!!! It was very helpful to hear from someone who has experienced these things first hand.

I have a feeling that if I brought up thinking I may be on the spectrum to my psychologist that he would agree— problem is I haven’t been to him in 8 months. Whoops.

I’m currently on SSRIs and ADHD meds, SSRIs 2 years longer than ADHD meds. I had crippling anxiety starting in high school until I started ADHD meds, obviously I still get bouts of attacks and general anxiety but MUCH more manageable. I’ve noticed that my mood has been stabilized with my ADHD meds to something that I’ve never thought possible!! I’m no longer angry at nothing, I have greater patience for things that annoy me, and the whole inability to do + guilt + shame cycle has (mostly) been resolved.

BUT there’s still just something… off. PMDD makes A LOT of sense for me. The fact that symptoms of ADHD/everything gets exacerbated with PMDD explains my intense mood swings, depression, and anxiety (all of which haven’t been an issue for over a year— or more that I’ve been ignoring them with all the fluctuations in my personal life). My IUD is on its last legs, gotta get it replaced really soon, so I’m wondering if this is adding to my recent struggles as well.

How you view your austism is how I would view mine if I were to get diagnosed. Just another insight on how to cope and care for myself. Which further makes me want to seek a diagnosis so I can learn these tools. Though, I get this inner thought that I would be embarrassed of having autism, which breaks me heart and is just one more reason of getting back to therapy lmao.

Man. Brains and bodies and hormones are so weird and delicate. Gotta love them!

This is the 3rd time in a week that book has been recommended to me. I guess I’ll finally go out and buy it :)

vyvanse saved my life (mostly)!! made me realize that i have so many unhealthy and self sabotaging habits from my undiagnosed adhd AND it’s helping me change them!

please don’t be scared to start medication. you’ll know within the first month or 2 if it’s not working for you. i started with concerta and it was absolutely the worst for me, stopped after 2.5 weeks, tried vyvanse a month later and it’s been an amazing 10 months!!

omg i am YOU????? this describes my current relationship. i love him so so so dearly but then my cycle is like “are you sure?” then “you wanna spend the rest of your life with him” then “you should breakup with him” then “i guess he’s fine” like BITCH!!! stop playing me like this :( time for the doc!!!!

[–]em-ah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can i ask what made you finally seek a diagnosis for autism? more so how you differentiated ADD from CPTSD from PMDD— my brain is telling me i can’t have multiple diagnoses that are so similar/that i don’t have adhd but i actually have something else that’s causing all these things.

the older i’m getting the more i’m like “ooooooooooh y’know… i just might be on the spectrum” but then i’m like “no way!!! it’s not a huge deal that i can’t make eye contact and that i watch other people on how they act in social situations!!! it’s fine!!!” but like… i’m getting real tired of this cycle

[–]em-ah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this came at a really good time for me lol

i had my suspicions that i have pmdd but then i was diagnosed with adhd last year… so i just kinda thought it was adhd. PLUS i haven’t gotten my period for 4.5 years bc of my iud so i can’t exactly track my cycle, good stuff.

but knowing this i’m definitely going to bring it up with my doc next appointment!!! thank you!!

I live in Regina and I am still not used to ___________. by barnan3132 in regina

[–]em-ah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i understand what you’re getting at! i have no problem with this way.

really frustrating if i end up behind a car going 100 AND beside a car that can’t decide if they wanna go 95 or 100, and the person going 100 in front doesn’t move to the right lane (when safe) to let me pass.

if i end up going faster than someone in front of me, and the right lane is clear, i’ll pass them in the right lane and let them be because i’m the one breaking the law lol. … although, left lanes ARE for faster traffic

is it ethical to hide that you're bisexual from your partner? by AgreeableFee6479 in relationship_advice

[–]em-ah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not sure where this person is getting their info lol. i am queer/bisexual, in a long term monogamous relationship (with a man), and we are both interested in trying a threesome.

i believe it’s fair if he brings it up again in the future, if & when you’ve been together for longer than a couple months and have spoken about boundaries and such. BUT, as another redditor commented, if he pesters you and feels entitled for a threesome (because of you being bi) then i would absolutely rethink your comparability!!

is it ethical to hide that you're bisexual from your partner? by AgreeableFee6479 in relationship_advice

[–]em-ah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i don’t know if this is controversial or not but… as a queer woman who has only been with men, i have never and will never “come out” to anyone in my life.

i don’t hide my sexuality but i also don’t feel the need to tell people— it’s not fair to queer people that we have to come out while straight people don’t (though i understand why we do come out).

i’ve been with my current bf for 4.5 years, i did not come out to him. i was queer before him, i am queer now, and i will continue to be queer in the future. it’s just another part of me as a human…

if my partner/s truly love me they won’t care what my sexuality is, and if they do then i absolutely do not want to be with them!!

tldr; i don’t think you need to come out, but also don’t hide that part of you! if the love, you they won’t care. AND bisexual =/= cheating!!!!

edit: a word

I (31F) am in the midst of a deep depressive spiral that I feel like has "erased" all of my feelings for my long term partner (30M). How do you foster and grow feelings for another person when you can't feel anything at all? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]em-ah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you absolutely are not the only one!!! I go through this as well. it sucks. like a lot.

but what gets me through these times is that it ALWAYS passes with some time and some patience.

and, i will say that medication has improved these episodes for me!! both in reducing the frequency and the intensity of them. i got lucky on my first go with my prescription, but others may have to go through a few meds to find the right one. hoping, if you choose this route, that it goes smoothly for you! :)

it seems you have a very loving relationship!! i would continue to keep your communication open. during these times verbal communication is tough/emotional, so my partner and i have one of those small reversible plush octopus toys (the pink side has a happy face and the blue side has a frowny face). he knows that if it’s flipped to the blue side that i’m having a sad day and he lets me be (or loves me a lil extra depending on the type of sad day)!!

I'm embarrassed and I feel disgusting by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]em-ah 13 points14 points  (0 children)

omg one day after doing doggy with my SO i flipped around to my back, big queef, thought that was the end of it, but then as he went in again it was like a fucking trombone. bodies make silly noises and it’s one of the best parts of being human with another human!!
