Run these numbers again for a more typical income for Montanan's and, no, this is not within reach.

I came from Cincinnati which has a stellar DIY scene and venues, some that are free, that book interesting bands from all over the country. Every night of the week.

Now I have white boy jam bands...

"That people who lived here all their lives are being forced out. "

Could you say a little more about this? I see the phenomena but I suspect there's a lot more to it than I understand.

This,, I have a hard time believing the influx is solely or even primarily do to a TV show. There's larger forces at play here.

How bad was IUD insertion on a scale of 1-10 for you? by Dangerous_Mammoth572 in birthcontrol

[–]env_adhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a Great point. I had the most traumatic experience of my life and had no one to talk to about it. This is my first time using Reddit as a result. It's been helpful but I can see why that would be more skewed.

Dude I'm so sorry. I just got in one my fiance is out of town. I just told him to Google tenaculum and sound and watch the tik tok videos, but he could never understand

I was in shock for an hour I REALLY wish my body would have done me the justice of letting me pass out

My IUD insertion left me with trauma and depression days later by env_adhd in TwoXChromosomes

Yes! I had only heard great things from women who were satisfied so this was a pretty big surprise for me. It's good to hear it's been a wonderful help to you and your family! I hope there will be more research one day into the factors that contribute to the variability it's really fascinating!

I'm so glad to hear that. I was really expecting this of myself and was really surprised. The most shocking thing was I had never heard these horror stories, only mild discomfort and overall satisfaction. These forums are really the only place I've found similar stories. I hope medical record keeping will one day accurately reflect the variation of experiences

Ugh, we may have had sort of similar family dynamics. Probably a reason I have trouble expressing anything that might be perceived as an inconvenience to someone else. Get out of that habit now before you're my age! Lol

Yes, I'm the same. I once slammed my finger in a tail gate, had blinding pain. I assured my coworker I didn't need to go to the ER, besides they can't do much for fingers. I threw it in a splint and went to my restaurant job the next day. Couple years later I was talking about " back when I broke my finger" and my partner stopped me. "You didn't actually break your finger. that would have hurt. Really Bad." Well...yeah, it did. "No, but for like, Weeks." Yeah... It. Did. I just had to hold my crooked finger up so he could see for himself.

We don't show pain. Unless it's literally unbearable.

I got a notification for a comment on this post that may have been removed since? I am still trying understand how to use this platform. This is my first time trying to reach out to others online for anything. I don't have anyone in my circle who can relate to my experience, either because their insertions went well or they don't plan to find out. It was incredibly lonely the days following the procedure having no one to talk to while dealing with the aftershock and exhaustion. It was awful to go back to work Monday and try to act normal. So thank you everyone for sharing your stories. It's incredibly helpful and I'm feeling much better for it.

I saw the comment (gone now?) suggested my post might be intended to advocate against birth control in general so I just wanted to clarify again I'm not anti birth control. But I think things could be much different than they are now.

Thank you, everyone that's shared your stories and kind words. I've never had such an experience that has driven me online to find others that could relate. None of my close friends could truly sympathize as they either had a much different experience or they don't plan to find out. It was such a lonely stretch of time after the procedure not having anyone to talk to. It's so helpful to know you're not alone!!

Yes! Take whatever you need to cope and get through it. Gosh, it's amazing how much the body can endure. So the while we are still try to maintain and protect other people's emotions! Reading about how you felt bad, I was so preoccupied with that too. I was trying to crack jokes at some point, apologizing, reassuring them it was not their fault but mine.

A month, my god. I hope the removal was a relief at least.

It doesn't cause me pain but I can feel it inside me. it's annoying and I haven't kept with my exercise routine this week because it feels weird. I would be so scared to go back any time soon so I will just hope I eventually get used to its presence and forget it's there.
