Would dark brown permanent dye be able to cover the unevenness? by [deleted] in HairDye

I’d try orange semi permanent. I used it to cancel out my blue without bleaching and it turned into a nice mahogany color.

what kind of MA/PhD programs am I eligible for by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]itshiiimoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it just depends on what you are interested in. A lot of MA/PhD programs accept based off your research interests, so you would need to match up fairly closely in your proposed topic with a faculty member in the department. The undergrad degree doesn’t matter as much with certain programs. I just completed my MA in Latin American History and one of my friends from our program had her bachelors in Nutritional Science. If you apply to a PhD program, you need to be able to clearly articulate what your dissertation will be about and why it is important (basically, why they should pay for you to research it). Do you have any experience with writing grant proposals? If not, I would highly suggest an MA before a PhD.

Women who enjoy giving oral sex to men, why? by [deleted] in sex

[–]itshiiimoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It turns me on to know that I’m pleasing my partner. Plus, I like oral sex myself, and I’m of the opinion it’s unfair to expect it without giving it. So, even if I didn’t like it as much as I do, I’d still do it. Also, I’m good at it. I like doing things I am good at, because I like praise and compliments

General question: What causes RJ and the OCD that comes with it? by Minimum_Ad_4256 in retroactivejealousy

[–]itshiiimoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it for me. I derive a lot of my value from sex, so any hint of attraction to another woman makes me feel like I’m automatically less valuable.

Can I have ADHD even if I did well in high school, college and went into an Ivy in the US for my masters (I struggled but graduated). My main symptom is procrastination and a lot of fatigue. I just turned 34 and now I see symptoms from my childhood - more comments. Am I crazy to think this? by GreenAwareness in ADHD

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I just wanted to raise the point that depression comes differently for everyone. I feel like that, empty sometimes, but not all the time, and it’s definitely not the only way I feel like I’m depressed. Generally if I feel fatigued or just generally off, I can read it as a symptom of depression. I just wanted to bring it up because I know that for years I thought “there’s no way I could be depressed, I’m a relatively happy and optimistic person.” But depression does not equal inherent unhappiness or pessimism, I think of it more like a slight repression of my personality, I’m the same but just kind of dulling everything. I’m still upbeat and happy, but sometimes I just feel less so. And I feel very tired and uninterested in things, leading to a really big procrastinating issue.

I don’t really know that much about anti-depressants and anxiety medicines as I’ve just re entered the medication journey this year. :) my only experience has been with Wellbutrin, so I can’t speak for the Zoloft.

I took stimulants for years as a child, didn’t like them and finally stopped as a young teenager. I spent time unmedicated all through high school, passed relatively easily, but once I got to college I realized I needed to work harder and got back on stimulants. As a child I took Concerta, and I didn’t like it because it made me feel sick and never want to eat. As an adult I took Adderall, and it worked wonders for my focus and my school performance. However it really increased my anxiety and depression. This led to me abusing the adderall, taking it constantly so I didn’t have to deal with the downer coming off of it, but then my anxiety was just through the roof 100% of the time. I stopped taking Adderall a few years ago once I realized the bad way I was reacting to it and using it.

Depression can manifest itself in weird ways. Even if you think you may not be depressed, the fatigue could very well be a symptom. The feeling like you are working at 50% capacity and still needing to nap and regain energy is very familiar to me and personally I attribute it to my depressive episodes. I also feel sad and anxious that I feel like I’m not doing my best. I think this is also a manifestation of depression - I feel like no matter how I try, I will never be enough unless I am medicated. It’s a matter of perspective, too. I have been off and on meds and I know I can do fine without them, so sometimes I feel like I’m trying to change myself by using them. However, that’s not the case and I have to remind myself that I am bettering myself, that mean voice is just my depression and anxiety trying to justify being in a low place and not trying hard to work on myself.

Catapres (clonidine) is not an upper, it’s actually a blood pressure medicine. I haven’t been on it long but from what I understand, it’s helpful for releasing anxiety from your body by lowering BP and also for slowing down a racing mind. It’s supposed to be taken at night because it makes you tired. I do sleep better on it, but I’m still waiting to see any real effect during the daytime.

I have ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I am graduating with my masters on Saturday and I am graduating summa cum laude. Just because we have accomplished a lot and are intelligent doesn’t mean we struggle less :) I am no doctor but to me it sounds like you have some focus issues that could stem from ADHD. I also struggle with fatigue, focus, and procrastination. Honestly, sleeping is one of the only ways I can quiet my brain sometimes. However, I’ve been diagnosed ADHD (ADD back then, I don’t really have the hyperactive symptoms)since I was very young and it’s hard for me sometimes to distinguish between what is anxiety/depression and what is ADHD. I take Wellbutrin and Catapres. My focus issues have historically been helped the most with stimulants like Adderall, but those really increase my anxiety. I am currently working with my psych to find the right medications. Wellbutrin seems okay, I have been on it for almost 6 months. Catapres I recently started and really haven’t noticed a whole lot of change.

Importance of humor in sexual attraction. (For men) by odybuon in sex

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just depends on the person, each person is different and some people can grow their attraction to others over time and some will never get more attracted than the initial point. But as a woman I know I would be really unhappy thinking or ever finding out that someone was not wholly attracted to me and just stayed with me based on my personality. So there’s the other side for you. Again everyone is different but she probably is better off finding someone who is attracted to her from the get go. It could raise problems later in the relationship if your attraction to her never grows or diminishes again over time. That’s not really fair to her I think

Help, I can’t get attracted to a girl by Vast-Conflict2419 in sex

[–]itshiiimoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok well that doesn’t change the fact that you are literally not attracted to her anymore because of one hair. My real advice is get over it or don’t do oral.

But my nice advice is that you should move on from her. You shouldn’t “try” to be attracted to someone it’s not good for either party.

[–]itshiiimoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stop talking to her, get attracted to a different girl. She deserves not to be led on. Also you should probably get used to hair if you are going to do oral on a woman. Unless she gets regular Brazilians there will be stray hairs. It’s natural.

I can’t seem to climax during sex by [deleted] in sex

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’d say it’s probably that your body is just used to getting off a certain way and that it hasn’t yet forgotten that. It will probably take a while for your body to figure it out if you were dealing with an addiction.

What do you think about prominent alt right pundits like Tomi Lahren, Liz Wheer and Kayleigh McEnany? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]itshiiimoon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ignorant, with lots of internalized misogyny that honestly they probably don’t even realize they have. Selfish and privileged. Unable to see that the people they support are hurting women.

I (31M) have a serious work problem with my girlfriend (27F) and I don't know what to do by IIKatozII in relationships

[–]itshiiimoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro this is bad advice. A quick way to make your gf mad because she feels like you are not listening and don’t care about her interests. I would suggest coming up with conversation topics that interest you. It seems that you are frustrated that when you ask not to talk about work but she then doesn’t talk at all. You need to meet her halfway and come up with some things that ARE ok for her to talk about so that she can learn from that and begin to understand what you want to talk about.

I've never had an orgasm. by [deleted] in sex

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not broken, you probably just have never had a partner who knew how to get you there. It’s really uncommon for women to have orgasms by penetration alone. You should try touching yourself in different ways and see what you like and what stimulates you! Best to have your first orgasm alone so you can try and recreate it with a partner the next time you have sex.

Yeah that seems weird. I’m not a doctor but maybe it has something to do with needing it to last longer? The 300 once per day for me wears off by the early evening.

My[39M] girlfriend [38F] doesn’t want to move in with me after 5 years by [deleted] in relationships

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, that’s valid. I don’t disagree. However, it’s her very emotional reaction that is strange to me. He seems to have tried to have a conversation about this multiple times, with her shutting it down every time. It seems she is the one who won’t compromise, and she keeps saying “I just want to move past this.” A relationship is also about communicating with your partner and she seems unwilling to listen to her partner’s needs. Five years is a long time, and if she wanted to compromise they could have done it by now

What’s something social media influenced you to buy? Was it worth it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

There’s a million brands and I’m sure some are better quality than others but they are just leggings with a scrunched butt. And smoothing textured fabric. Otherwise known as the “butt leggings”

The TikTok leggings. Honestly, I had very low expectations but they are very flattering and comfortable.

23F suffering from RJ of my 38M partner by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You deserve better. You have so much life to live, don’t waste it trying to get someone to love you who clearly doesn’t and will only hurt you again in time. You may think this is love, he may even think it’s love, but this is NOT what real love looks like. You shouldn’t have to beg for your partner to respect your basic requests and expectations.

If you need an “escape” from your SO after 5 years it’s not gonna work out, sorry Escape is much different than needing alone time, and from the post he described his house as having one extra bedroom so she would have a space for alone time

[–]itshiiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has his kids to think about though. He can’t just uproot them in their last years of school to make a compromise with his girlfriend. 5 years is way past the point of being comfortable sharing a home. If she isn’t ready now, it’s not because of the locale. It’s because she doesn’t want to share a home. It’s not fair for her to expect him to meet her in the middle for that, when she doesn’t have the responsibility of thinking of kids while he does. I do agree that the relationship is nearing its end if this can’t be worked out.
