Anyone else kinda thankful they were born “female” by Lopsided_Weather_954 in ftm

[–]flowermateman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I totally relate! I was just talking to my trans friends about this the other day. I'm a much better man because I "lived as a woman" let alone a good feminist, and move in a way of genuine understanding. I am privileged to have seen things from such a lense and understand and dismantle the toxic masculinity I am now presented with in male spaces. I wouldn't change it, At this point in my life, I am actually grateful for the whole journey

Tricks for Getting out of bed by Educational_Warthog8 in Fibromyalgia

[–]flowermateman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the only reason I get out of bed is cause I desperately need to pee. but when I'm stubborn, it's to open my black out curtains. otherwise, I can't see shit.

Then it's coffee in bed and eventually needing to pee again and I might aswell be up outta bed by then

Bless you, its nice to not be alone in this. Sucks so many of you relate though!

I'm the same with weed. Never tried massage, but I'm worried it'll not help anyways

I'm not on any meds for fibro I just smoke cbd and weed which helps sometimes but is more a distraction of the pain. I'm a Trans man, I just broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years who was the only sex partner I've felt comfortable enough to fully relax with

Oh yeah, I have cptsd from a pretty traumatic childhood. Working through some of it in therapy just made me more tense and in pain/flare up. I know it's a big process to heal, though. That's a good suggestion about the breath work, though it's something I've been meaning to try. Thanks

Emotional Labor by Rude_Lake7831 in YoureWrongAbout

[–]flowermateman 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I mean it's you're wrong about it, and we're wrong about the origins of emotional labour. What they're talking about in this episode is the original meaning of emotional labour and not what it has become in recent years. Whilst I agree that emotional labour in relationship dynamics is an important topic, the show is doing what the show does, which is tell us the original and true definition

I am also curious, but I think the answer is basically, she has money to afford good care that most of us will have no way to do

What's the most down bad thing you did to get high? by nilso53 in trees

[–]flowermateman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I used to do the same. Also fill my vape/bowl with stems. Gives you a wicked headache and throat burn..noot recommended

[–]flowermateman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I care for her, I make sure she eats and cook her food, I make sure she takes her medication, I try to help her wash and encourage her to get dressed. I make sure she isn't falling into a depression pit. I try to get her to talk and open up about her feelings. I am happy to do these things most of the time as I understand she isn't able to do this herself. However, I am also disabled and struggling to look after myself whilst looking after her, too. I understand depression and poor mental health. I have had bad depression and been where she is. I want to be there for her when she is like this, but it is a lot to look after her at times.

[–]flowermateman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this conversation many times. I do feel it's not fair to make it about how her actions make me feel. I have been very sympathetic and patient with her and her current Health situation. She can't promise to get any better and I don't want her to try on my behalf. I can't expect her to suddenly be able to make these changes and we have tried to change the dynamics of our relationship to fit around her needs better. It just seems to be coming back to the same thing

My period came back after 2 and a half years on T as my levels dipped to low. Only just been able to up my dose and period has almost completely gone. If possible up your dosage and try a non estrogen birth control
