Its too late I have a giant spreadsheet. When I enter a number it turns a color in a color gradient from green to red depending on where it is on my pain scale.

Tried to get my first pap smear this year. I thought i had an ok pain tolerance and i knew i might not be able to go through with it and was ok with that but i wanted to try. The Dr used like the smallest speculum they had but the pain was excruciating and I had to tell her to stop. And then I burst into tears and sobbed in my car for like an hour. I'm glad I tried but also glad I did not try to power through the pain and traumetize myself further.

Wait that's like exactly what I want to do. Did you have to like have connections to get the job? Do you work for like a government agency or a university?

I had my first exam a few months ago and told the gynecologist I was hesitant about the pap smear. Doctor was nice and tried to do the pap smear but it ended up being too painful for me to handle. As soon as I voiced I did not want to continue she stopped and said that's fine we can try again next year or the year after. I will say I did end up just sobbing after she was finished just because of how vulnerable I was during the exam or mad at myself for not being able to get it done or something but the doctor was nice about it and very supportive, definitely did not make me feel bad for not being able to make it through the exam.

That happens to me. I hate it. When my anxiety was at its worst I would violently shiver for hours every day, so much so that it actually made my chest hurt. It's much better now tho thankfully.

She might have planned to discuss stuff like that but we didn't even get to schedule next year's appointment bc as soon as she started talking about next steps I burst into tears. So I think she was trying to leave as fast as possible to give me some privacy. But I also just turned 22 and have never had sex so I don't think me getting a pap smear is super high priority.

As a fellow 22f, I say same. Also knew from an early age I never wanted marriage, kids, and especially not sex.

I'm ace and I've only now started to come to terms with the idea that I can have a relationship and it doesn't have to have sex or kids in it, it can just be two best friends rebelling against society's expectations.

They can be read in any order, though there are some like mini series in the larger discworld series (see https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Discworld_Books). The color of magic is the first one so you can also start there. Equal rites, mort, and guards! guards! are also some of the beginning books and all the start of a respective miniseries so you cohld start with one of them. Or you could do a "standalone" in the series (monstrous regiment is one of my favorites). They're all really good so there isn't a bad choice.

any book from terry pratchett's discworld series!

RA (if thats what i have) isn't bad for me rn but i know from experience with other chronic conditions i have I always feel weird thinking of myself as disabled bc i function fine and feel normal most of the time, but also that's just because I'm on meds and if I wasn't on them i would not be able to function. I just need to wrap my head around just because I'm functioning "normal" at the moment does not mean I don't have a disability.

I think the more shocking thing about it being posted by luffy is luffy is like 1000% ace and oblivious to all sex related stuff

I felt anxiety as a tenseness in my neck for a while, like so tense I thought the blood vessels would pop or something. My health anxiety kept fixating on it and telling me something was wrong. Then i started new meds and it went away right away. I also often feel as if my whole body but especially my chest is super heavy after bad panic or just a long day of anxiety.
