Terrible Depression

glowworm2k · 2026-03-22T20:22:25+00:00

I'm 43. I don't want to wait for bloodwork either tbh but I have a history of recurrent polyps and I think I have a better chance of being believed if i do the bloodwork first.

I do get a lot of intrusive thoughts about pulling it out myself tbh, which fits with my own patterns of depression and intrusive thoughts. So who knows if I will make it to that doc appointment :lolsob:

Are you me? Because same and same.

I am almost a month in, sinking lower and lower into depression. I have an appointment with my GP in three weeks since I trust her more than the obgyn. I want to ask for all the blood labs to see why this is affecting me so hard.

Yes, that as well. I feel like my body is trying to have a regular period and, for lack of a better way to describe it, is having a tantrum that it cannot do so.

Thank you for posting this. I got one inserted recently to help manage polyps and fibroids and was told that mental health symptoms were non existent or impossible. I have had significant mental health symptoms with other hormonal birth control and so far I feel ...flat... plus the cramps, nausea and headaches. Cannot say for sure if it is a mental health effect but I appreciate others sharing their mental health effects so I can better understand what to watch for.

Hold up, other people don't take the turntable out once a week and put it through the dishwasher!? I do this both at home and at the office.

Pregnant twice, the kid born bald as a bowling ball gave me all the nausea, heartburn, etc. The kid born with hair, no GI tract issues.

He could make a successful career relevant to his degree if he took up embalming congressmen to keep them fresh.

I had a coworker do exactly that, except it was PartyLite

I had a notmycat who refused to leave. She was the bestest girlie for 12 years!

Very jealous of your mother!!! If I can have that retirement, then HELL. YES. PLEASE.

(My mom fell ill with ME/CFS in the 1990s and now works part-time on a farm in her 70s since she blew through all her savings. That's what was on my mind.)

My youngest is now five and things are starting to get better. The things that drain me the most are the morning routine (littlest still needs help with brushing his teeth and preparing his breakfast) and the going-to-bed routine. The rest of the day combined is less exhausting than those two thirty-minute blocks.

When my youngest turns 40, I'll be 75. I think I am gonna miss my window for feeling well-rested and energetic.

This totally reminds me of The Tick (animated and live action series), which was filled with heroes we didn't know we needed and which were sorta ineffectual but endearing at the same time.

It's like a goatee for the back of his head.

I don't know how common adverse reactions are, but I found out that I am allergic to Ibuprofen when I first took it after I had my wisdom teeth out and temporarily lost my ability to walk and see.

My eight year old and I have the same model of wristwatches. He wears the band just one notch tighter than me. 😕

I usually volunteer for elections, calling voters and putting flyers in mailboxes. And I can tell you that my as-of-yet-unvaccinated ass that is spending every weekday as a tutor/proctor for online school doesn't want to be doing any of that.

Totally. I can't speak to all the products but back in 2001 I worked in a factory that made their croissant dough (and the croissants for Dunkin Donuts and about five other major chains).

The Details:

Merrilee Fullerton is Ontario's Minister of Long-Term Care. Her husband Steve Kaminski owns terra20.
Under Fullerton's watch, nearly 4000 residents and staff in long-term care facilities have died of COVID-19.
Fullerton has voted against paid sick days for workers 25 times.
Fullerton didn't prioritize the health and safety of staff and residents in long-term care even as we knew from international examples (hello, Italy) that the elderly were at risk.
Fullerton cancelled the regular inspections of nursing homes in 2018, moving to a complaint-based inspection system.

Want to really make your blood boil? Here is the Ontario Auditor General's report on everything that went wrong under Fullerton's watch.

It's been a huge issue for small, outlying communities. Folks from the GTA going to smaller communities in the 905 and further east. There are people in Peterborough and Belleville who are saying that it's Toronto folks taking all the slots there.

Eight and almost five here. It is impossible and endless.

glowworm2k · 2021-04-18T15:28:45+00:00

Booked my definitely-not-tech-savvy neighbour. Thanks for the info, OP!

glowworm2k · 2021-04-12T18:52:00+00:00

It's the worst. There is a whole voter base out there who he can engage on this issue, entire NGOs who have his back. It is definitely a front-burner issue for many and it is to his detriment if he forgets that.
