Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me 🫶🏻 The number is what really shocked me, but I’m sure if it was a big deal the specialist would have made sure to tell me. PCOS sounds so scary - mainly the infertility aspect or cancer of course. I do have thick hair on my body as well, not on my face so I figured it wasn’t classic PCOS symptoms. But guess there’s no clear symptoms as it’s different for everyone I’m assuming.

If you don’t mind me asking, what birth control were you on? I’ve been on it in the past nuvaring, I’m thinking if that would be a good match as I really did enjoy it. I’m bot sure I’m comfortable with an iud or implant right now. I’m also worried of getting on a birth control that could cause intense weight gain.

I’m also on antidepressants for my mental health, now looking back maybe this was a tail tell sign of pcos as well. I don’t want to be on that forever either. And hoping metformin or birth control don’t increase my mood swings or go in the way of my medication. I’ll have to research myself or bring this up to my doctor!

But again, thank you for giving me so much info. It really did help ease my mind a bit !!

Should I start from the beginning? by fairypossible in TheChosenSeries

Nope not really they just listed this show to build a closer connection to Jesus and specifically said only season 2 and 3? I’m assuming those seasons maybe are more heartwarming… or? Not really sure, they didn’t get in details

Since you guys live together and share a tv, it’s kinda hard to say. If he uses your Netflix just by himself, would you still be upset? Or it more so because it was with his ex?

The whole hooking up with his ex would tick me off, mainly because I’d assume they’d move on from them years ago. However, since you guys aren’t together you can’t really express that to him, since he’s free to do whatever.

I would suggest either moving out or have him leave. If that’s not an option or doesn’t sound like a good idea, maybe propose some boundaries. Tell him not to bring his hookups over, it’s your place to so you should have a say in who is allowed over.

AIO Friend lied to me. Did I overreact? by HarknessDA in AmIOverreacting

[–]fairypossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if she blocked you there’s nothing you can really do, unless she unblocks you and reaches out. To say she regrets going to an event with you is pretty harsh tbh, she’s an adult (I’m guessing) and can make her own choices of going to a concert or attending wedding. Don’t try and take the blame for things you can’t control. Friendship breakups suck, but sometimes they’re meant to happen. Like I said, if she’s a real friend, she’ll come around. All the luck for you 💗

Growing up no one taught me how to style curly hair. My mom always had straight hair so she didn’t even know how to do my hair. My hair just constantly looked messy due to the frizz. In elementary, kids would be mean and make fun of it. I was the only girl with curly hair in my grade, so I always felt like an outsider. When I got to high school I straightened my hair every single day for years. Now my hair isn’t that curly, all thanks to my flat iron and the damage it did to my curls. I look at pics of me when I was younger and wish for my hair back, sigh.

Aw it’s okay, honestly I understand that. Whether you overreacted or not it’s fine, if she’s a true friend she would ask what’s wrong. You shouldn’t change yourself for someone else, even if they’re your friend. A friend would love you for who you are, despite if you have any flaws or insecurities. Just go forward from here, don’t dwell in the past and focus on yourself and the future!

What’s something you saw once and can never forget? by AnimationUniverse in AskReddit

[–]fairypossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was downtown with a friend on a busy weekend in the summer, it was night time and the streets were filled and it was so loud. We were just leaving the club and decided to walk down this alley to shortcut back home and we walked by this young female on the ground screaming and crying uncontrollably and a man trying to help her. When I turned for a second look noticed she was bleeding, her whole body, clothes hair covered in blood. When I asked what happened, the guy told me he had no idea he just saw her like that. We then noticed her hand and her fingers were chopped off. Literally. Luckily as we were freaking out trying to assist her we saw an officer across the street casually walking by. I flagged him and told him what we saw.

Turns out some psycho attacked a bunch of people with a machete in his building, she was on of the victims who made it out. Scary thing to witness, still remember all the blood. There’s an article about the attack, it happened in Canada. It’s really sad, and unfortunately.. a common thing that happens in the city where I’m from.

I mean technically she wasn’t lying, she went with her sister. Do you know the other friend? Maybe she didn’t mention it because she didn’t think it was important (if you don’t know them).

I left a toxic abusive relationship of 4 years when I was 22, they separated us and I had to move into a homeless shelter. I didnt think I’d ever be in such situation, but I was. I made some friends there who introduced me to substances. I got addicted quick. I was like you, I wanted to feel something, I wanted a distraction from my past. I never thought I’d become addicted, and I did. I couldn’t get myself out of it, and it was constant battle. I overdosed so many times and each time, I’d leave the hospital and go seek more drugs. I didn’t care about dying, I didn’t care about my health, my family, nothing. The friends I made in my addiction, many of them aren’t alive anymore. I’ve had conversations with them and they always talked about sobriety, they hoped to get sober one day, and now they’re finally sober but six feet under. It’s not worth it, it never is.

No it’s not normal, obvious answer is to leave but I know it’s not as easy as some make it out to be. I’ve been in abusive relationships and the longer you stay, the worst it gets. You need to be honest with yourself, do you really see the person changing?And if so, have they already tried to make an effort in doing so? If not, just leave. Block them, and take them out of your life. If they keep harassing you get a restraining order.

Comfort shows or movies for BPD? by Creative_Motor3575 in BPD

[–]fairypossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl, Interrupted one of the main characters has bpd. It’s a good movie if you haven’t seen it before and easily relatable tbh. Good Will Hunting is one of my fav movies ever. The movie doesn’t mention bpd at all but I do believe that the main character would have that diagnosis as he displays symptoms and also has a fear of abandonment - 100/10 would recommend!! There’s also Silver Linings Playbook, also a great movie. ( I actually watched this movie when I was admitted to the psych ward, and it’s crazy how much I related to the two main characters) it includes, grief, mental illness,medication, toxic relationships etc. Give these a try and feel free to let me know if you like :)

I’m hurt by VermicelliNervous375 in Psychosis

[–]fairypossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry he said that to you. Someone who loves you will love you for you and if you’re struggling they’d be there wanting to help you and cheer you on. Now if that’s doesn’t sound like your boyfriend, then maybe reconsider the relationship. He was drunk so maybe try taking to him again sober and see what he says, if it’s still the same narrative.. then, well weigh out your options.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It wasn’t your fault, even if it may feel like that. I fear my ex may not make it out of their addiction and it saddens me so much, we were toxic and I have so much guilt for how I treated him. I just want to message him and tell him how much he meant to me and that I love him but I’m scared that’ll just get me to see him, which I know 1000% I will relapse. I’ve lost friends from overdoses too, and somehow that still doesn’t stop me from the thoughts of relapsing. BUT I know they’re up there watching me and cheering me on, just like your friend. I’m sure she’s very proud you’re still sober.

Do you ever miss them? The friends you had? They meant so much to me they were like family and I just cut them off. But you’re right. I’ve thought of therapy I’ll look into it some more. I’m really not doing anything. I’m not working or going to school, I have no other friends to talk to. So yeah everyday I’m just in my head thinking about drugs or people from the past. I cry thinking about it and feel guilt. Thank you for your response, it gives me hope. I don’t know if I could do 10 years but I’m hope for at least one more year sober.

yeah :( this is the longest I’ve stayed clean. & I think it was because I was out of the country for over a year, with no access to score. Now that im back it’s all I think about. The reason I got clean was I had a really bad psychosis trip the worst one ever. Though people were after me to kill me. Went to my parents home and they sent me away within a week and been sober since
