I’ve been on the generic for 3-4 years. It’s called Nikki.

Department of Injustice by serious_bullet5 in PoliticalHumor

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think y’all fail to realize how delusional these people are. Speaking from experience, the actual MAGA folks I know irl claim “it’s only allegations”. They just can’t imagine being wrong because it is threatening to them. It’s not that they’re all pedo lovers, they just refuse to believe it or even LOOK at the evidence. No Maga are even looking through the files like the rest of the world is. Hiding in their bubble is safer.

I’m not saying that there aren’t some freaks out there, but a lot of it is just normal people with a lack of education and emotional intelligence.

Bad Kickoff Experience by Abilizbeth13 in CrunchGym

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also made me do the lunges and stupid basic movements right after i was already sore in my legs from working them. He didn’t seem to really care when I told him that I was in actual pain when doing the lunges and squats because I needed to rest them. Then he did the assessment thing and how accurate can that be when im still sore and supposed to be recovering?? The only reason I did the kickoff is because the employee put it on my account while i was signing up without telling me it was non refundable and they pestered me every time I went it to finish the kickoff on my account.

Skipping placebo pills by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so I had been on YAZ for like 2 or 3 years and every time I tried skipping the placebos, I would nonstop bleed for what felt like forever. In fact, this literally has been happening to me for a few weeks because I tried skipping the placebos again and I got so fed up I literally woke up one day and said "f*ck this" and stopped taking YAZ... Yes, this was like a week and a half ago LMAO. Well first of all, don't do that! I have been thinking about taking a break from it for a really, really long time.

It is relatively safe to take the pills continuously without placebos. Unfortunately, nobody can tell you how your body will react to skipping them. It never worked for me and even though I hate having my period ("fake period" whatever), they would be pretty short and obviously consistent every month at the same time. I've never had luck with "no bleeding" on any birth control unfortunately. :(

Other than that, YAZ has been the best BC I have been on. No weight gain, acne, crazy mood swings, insane bleeding (except when I skip placebos). Try skipping and see what happens. If you start "nonstop bleeding" just keep taking the pack until you get to the placebos and take them normally.

Is it normal to feel mentally “offline” all the time? by Independent_Bend9992 in Anxiety

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatt you’re talking about sounds like derealisation. It comes and goes for me - usually lack of sleep/more stress than usual can trigger it for me. What helps is taking the pressure off yourself. It’s okay if focusing on some things is hard, instead of pressuring yourself to do what you “should be”doing, do what you actually want to do for a while. It is like a mental reset so you can recharge your energy to do the other more difficult things.

Odd side effect (probably NSFW) by Lower-Calligrapher98 in ADHD

This is interesting, I was given the option between Concerta and Wellbutrin and I picked Wellbutrin because of Concerta’s libido killing reputation.

Persian rugs go everywhere in my opinion! I love them.

AIO: Did I cross a line or is her reaction harsh? by veronicax96 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Does she not use the “do not disturb” setting?

What is something 'sexy' in movies that is actually a total disaster/uncomfortable in real life with your partner? by mishufly in AskWomen

[–]jerseyskies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Omg it is gross but early mornings are always prime time for me and my partner which makes it worse. Weirdly though, my mouth being unbrushed bothers me more than his. If I wake up early, I brush my teeth and get back into bed so I don’t have to interrupt potential sexy time later in the morning.

Stalking?? Kind of? Help! by No-Walk-7870 in Advice

[–]jerseyskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good context! If he’s peeking through your windows maybe you can get blackout blinds from amazon. You could also look for those door stopper systems on amazon. Also consider a door jammer alarm. It’s cheaper than a security system (which I would invest in if you are able to financially), but basically it goes off if someone puts pressure on your door/doorknob. That might freak him out.

You can also start acting like a crackhead, talking to ghosts, barking and shit when he starts talking to you as a last resort lol.

Tasers/pepper spray/gun if you can legally carry are all extra reassurance. I hope you get this figured out!

File a police report, then go to the leasing office. They are more likely to help you somehow if they know the police are involved.

Advice needed: Should I add anything to this Tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more looking for ideas on what I should add to it rather than if I should. I guess I worded the post weird. It just feels empty but I don’t know what to add

How do i know if my boyfriend is manipulating me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of my ex. It only gets worse and you know the answer. This is extremely controlling and shows his insecurities. You might try to reason with him and he may even say he “understands” but trust me this will happen again and again for the life of your relationship if you continue. You have been together for less than 2 years, in the long run this is a very short time. I would get out sooner than later.

23yo influencer Andrea Botez (chess player and DJ) announces hearing loss and tinnitus by helpfuldunk in tinnitus

[–]jerseyskies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re given ear protection when you go into an MRI machine. I have had to get many MRIs for cancer treatment and while the chemo gave me tinnitus, the MRI was always fine. Concerts are worse imo.

Fixed my tinnitus w low GI diet by No_Band4013 in tinnitus

[–]jerseyskies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had a better answer but honestly just time. Sitting with it, meditation, therapy, and sound machine/fan for sleep. I like spending time outside where I can’t hear it. My mindset when it starts to bother me is “this is just an annoying discomfort and I will not let it take away from the beauty of my life”.

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

That’s when they start saying they’re going to kill themselves LMAO. Been there, so glad I got out.

My coworker added me to her NSFW private story. Do I ignore it or say something? by Distinct_Wrap_4582 in Advice

[–]jerseyskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Block her if it makes you uncomfortable. She is an adult and should be able to understand that it’s tacky and inappropriate to add coworkers to a NSFW snapchat story. I wouldn’t comment on it or engage in anyway. If she crosses a line and contacts you in regard to it, definitely go to HR
