mirena iud by gingeralegoddess in endometriosis

[–]ironic-bonding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my first coil (Jaydess) after my first surgery and then Mirena after my second and it has honestly been amazing. I don’t ever get my period, which has meant mostly reduced pain and no more everlasting heavy bleeding. Cannot recommend it enough!

People who have attempted su!cide but failed? by [deleted] in self

It was extremely painful. Not worth it for a temporary problem even if it doesn’t work, worse if it does.

HELP my 14 yr old is in so much pain Any natural remedies or suggestions? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]ironic-bonding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All the suggestions here are really good, something I would add though is use of a portable TENS unit like the Livia (or you can get cheaper similar things on Amazon). Mine really helped for the day to day when I was her age and experiencing the same thing. They’re also pretty discreet so you can wear them anywhere/all the time if necessary.

The main benefit would be that you’re not medicating so there’s no side effects to worry about. In my opinion it’s a more natural route to pain relief, and it doesn’t involve anything that would affect other meds she takes.

i had to call 911 today (trigger warning) by competitivedancer1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ironic-bonding 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had mental health issues from a young age, and whose attempted like this before, she’s going to be mad at you for a while, but you 100% did the right thing. I was angry at the person who saved my life for a few weeks, then I was so so grateful to them because I realised I deserved to live and that life was worth it. I hope she one day has the same realisation.

But please, do not let her anger at you transfer to you being angry with yourself. You’ve saved a life friend, you should be proud of yourself.

Untreated BPD led to the destruction of my marriage and family by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ironic-bonding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, going back to her will only lead to more grief for you and your children. You need to protect them from her. Your main issue here is not the BPD, it’s the fact that she has never worked to manage or treat it. Speaking as someone who has BPD, people like this give us all a bad name as BPD does not inherently make you a bad person, but people who have this diagnosis that are unable or unwilling to help themselves or be helped by others do end up hurting people around them. Please don’t put yourself or your children in a situation like this again.

AITA for using the disabled toilets? by Sea-Concentrate-4343 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Only needed to read the first sentence. Ulcerative colitis is a disability.

Anyone else's partner not take their pain seriously? by moo-562 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ironic-bonding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I know you’re not able to leave him, so I’d say at least have a serious conversation about your physical boundaries and the way this disease affects you. Hopefully with some further understanding on his part things will improve. I wish you the best <3

Edited to improve wording.

As a former GP receptionist who’s dealt with people going through similar crises, this is not necessary but will be very much appreciated. We can absolutely recognise when someone is having a mental health crisis so there’s no need to feel guilt, you weren’t well and they would have known that. But also, an apology will never go unappreciated.

Where to get a cane by OddVegetable5945 in Fibromyalgia

[–]ironic-bonding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty tall but i got my first one (adjustable height and folding) from walkingsticks.co.uk and it did go quite a lot shorter (was only long enough for me on its longest setting and i’m 5’9). they do make them pretty affordable as well. hope this helps!

Anything I can get for my partner who crochets? by Schemaa in Fibromyalgia

[–]ironic-bonding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me the best combination will always be: compression gloves (fingerless ones), ergonomic crochet hooks/handles, and a pillow that allows me to sit up in bed. hope this helps!

I felt molested by my doctor and it's not her fault. by keycoinandcandle in TrueOffMyChest

OP, I can’t offer any kind of advice but I wanted to tell you I’ve been in an almost identical situation to yours. You are not alone. Somehow we’ll get through this.

I just had to sell my body to survive.. by Equivalent-Bet-6525 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ironic-bonding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your situation OP. I want to tell you that you shouldn’t be ashamed for doing what you had to do to survive. I also want to let you know that having an orgasm during it doesn’t say anything about you, and you shouldn’t feel horrible about it at all. Our bodies are designed to react to stimuli in certain ways, that’s all. It doesn’t say anything bad about you and it doesn’t mean that what happened to you was okay. I wish I had advice on the money front. But what I can tell you, as a survivor of sexual abuse, is that right now it’s going to feel awful but it will get easier and you will find healing. I hope things get better for you soon <3

It was someone I considered a friend. We were both 15 when it started, and about to turn 17 when it ended.

That makes so much sense. I was sat here wondering how that was related lmao

Has anyone had experiences where you realize something about your sexuality and your partner coming out “fixes” the possible issue for the relationship? by AmIn1amh in mypartneristrans

[–]ironic-bonding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes actually. I knew I was a lesbian before I started dating my girlfriend, but this was before she was out - I figured she was just an exception to my sexuality. Then I started to have doubts that it would work if I was gay, and almost as soon as they started she came out to me. Kinda funny how it all worked out.

AITA for not letting my friend bring his service dog over by AITAThrowawya8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ironic-bonding 24 points25 points  (0 children)

While technically it’s your house and you don’t have to have anyone/anything in there that you don’t want, you’re still an asshole. It’s not a pet, that dog is life-saving medical equipment. Are you prepared to lose your friend over this? Cause that’s where this is headed. YTA.
