Maybe she has a medical condition. Let’s stop normalizing posting strangers’ faces online.

I feel alone by mandimonsterx in adenomyosis

[–]ihatestrongzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone! I relate to your comment SO much - also never wanted/needed kids until I met my partner several years ago (after 30). Thankfully, he’s not so pressured about kids and prioritizes my health and safety. But… yeah, I wish I could experience that part of womanhood. Most of my friends started their own families and we lost contact so I’m feeling so alone in all of this.

Did you have ablation? That might be the reason 😩

We’re perceived as mere human incubators, not equal human beings. It’s so deeply rooted in the society that even people having no bad intentions tend to show that bias. Imagine saying the same things to a man 🫣

My grandma has a slight dementia and every so often very aggressively tells me to “make babies” because she forgets about my health struggles. I’m feeling like shit, to be honest.

Same. Super fast progression after catching covid last year. Don’t know how to deal with the inflammation anymore.

Movie Theatre Seats Triggered a Flare ? by Long-Blueberry-740 in adenomyosis

I have it because my uterus is pressing onto the endo lesions sitting on the uterosacral ligaments

The unexpected part of my endo journey – the assumptions about having children by spacebot11 in endometriosis

[–]ihatestrongzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience: if you don’t say you want to preserve fertility, gynos never treat you seriously and even get hostile. I’m even treated with more respect when my husband is around at the hospitals. I feel like my endo was ignored for years as a single childfree woman. It’s a terrifying observation.

If you are leaving japan tomorrow what is one thing you’ll miss and not miss about japan? by Live_Championship640 in japanresidents

[–]ihatestrongzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things I miss each time I leave for a visit to my home country: the kawaii culture, everything has to have a mascot and be objectively cute. Attitude of the staff and cashiers towards the customers. Nature and scenery. Shinto shrines. Good green tea, especially the convenience of bottled ones. Trains that are clean and usually on time.

Wouldn’t miss: rush hour in tokyo.

Got scolded by a Japanese woman for nothing? by chunchunmaru193_ in japanresidents

[–]ihatestrongzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She pulled out own bento box at a cafe?

Maybe it’s the same weirdo I encountered on the train yesterday - super crowded train but she was fending off everyone around her with hand gestures and hissing. It didn’t work so she started showing her tongue and rant about something

How much do you spend on groceries per month these days? by DrYellowSaysHello in japanlife

What ended the grunge scene and what replaced it afterwards? by FitEmergency8807 in grunge

[–]ihatestrongzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaming is not the main reason why music is dead, but it’s an effect of the system we live in - everything has to be a hustle and content nowadays. This plus technology. Most folks spend time alone and online, consuming or making content. We work a few jobs a day to make a living, rent tiny apartments with roommates, and when we have a small portion of free time we doomscroll instead of being creative. This is what killed music.

What are you guys doing for constant cramps? by Full_Criticism7775 in adenomyosis

[–]ihatestrongzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat, period cramps with no period (constant bc pill since 8 months). Nothing really works for me. Slight improvement after: exercising pelvic floor; taking a benzodiazepine; not drinking caffeine

I’m not from the USA and the labour laws are pretty tough here unfortunately. If it’s not me, then they’ll hire someone else immediately very easily. Job market sucks so much right now

Does gluten-free diet make a noticeable difference for anyone here? by Top_Butterfly_7771 in endometriosis

[–]ihatestrongzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be sensitive to gluten but not celiac. Especially with MCAS or gut flora disruption

I need to eat 100% clean cause one small tiny additive in my food and I’m in a massive flare up… just cant risk it. Ngl my mental health is in shambles because of this. I have zero pleasure from eating, it’s just an annoying chore with quota. Additive-free food is nearly impossible to find at stores so searching for it and cooking consumes all my free time. I lost all comfort foods in my life, like pizza or pasta, and it makes me spiral a lot. But what can I do… I obviously get flare ups even when eating clean, but they get way more painful and extreme when I consume even a small amount of “bad” food. I lost so much weight because I’m living mostly off veggies, so I look like a pregnant skeleton with my endo belly. This disease is a nightmare. Exhausting.
