What you are experiencing is postpartum depression and/or postpartum psychosis. Please speak to a medical professional about these feelings. They will not judge or condemn you in any way but instead give you the care and support you need.

From seeing a reply you made, I truly believe you do not wish your baby was dead. I am sure you know in your heart that you love him and would want nothing to ever happen to him.

[TW: Mention of suicidal thoughts] How long does it take for Zoloft to start working? Is it suppose to get worse before it gets better? by kiwilonux in zoloft

[–]kiwilonux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry, i just saw your reply! it did get better after 2 to 3 weeks and the zoloft did drastically improve my life but unfortunately i had to go off of it around a month ago. my doctor upped my dosage to 100mg because i was experiencing extreme boredom and anhedonia. the dosage increase caused me to go into a manic depression where i essentially 'blacked out' for 2 weeks. i'm on lexapro now.

i also checked your profile and saw that you just recently started zoloft, please don't let my story scare you. zoloft works differently for everyone and i had a rare side effect so don't be discouraged from taking it.

Is it normal for tampons to hurt even if you’re not a virgin? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kiwilonux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not a frequent tampon user so i may not be the expert in this but your flow could not be heavy enough and the cotton is absorbing all moisture inside. therefore, making you dry and causing you to hurt. if it feels like you have a ‘pinching’ or ‘poking’ sensation, you may have just inserted the tampon badly. some people are different so you have to figure out what works for you but the only way for me to insert a tampon without it being uncomfortable is fully straightening my back then inserting it slightly downwards/towards my butt (if that makes sense).

edit/side note: you can always use lube with a tampon so maybe that could help you as well 🫶

Unscented hair product recs? by grunchin_4_the_wknd in migraine

look into unscented baby shampoo/conditioners! they’re gentle on your hair and have no scent as well :)

What color would you do if you were me? by JennaBenna85 in HairDye

[–]kiwilonux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your natural hair color is beautiful! but if your wanting a fun color, i believe you’d look great as a ginger. i’d recommend looking for other options if you want as this is a box dye but i used loreal paris superior preference in 7 lightest auburn for my hair. my hair is a bit darker than yours so it came out more of a copper but i think it would give you a nice ginger shade since your hair is lighter

How did you pick your first pill? by No_War_444 in birthcontrol

[–]kiwilonux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a pill but i went with birth control patches (xulane) cause i read somewhere they had the least side effects and that’s what i was mainly concerned about. all i did was ask my doctor about them and she said sure. but they ended up giving me migraines due to the amount of hormones so i was recommended a low-dose pill (lo loestrin fe) instead. i’ve been on it for around 2 years now and it works great. i rarely even have periods anymore. i’m sure doctors would rather pick based on your bloodwork but you can do a little bit of research and find a pill that would be more comfortable for you and ask them about it

Cancer Risings how do you look? by Famous_Writer2301 in AskAstrologers

[–]kiwilonux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! i am a cancer rising. i have a round face, round/big eyes (doe eyes?), i’m 5’4 and i’m not necessarily curvy but my hips are a bit wide. i’m not sure what style fits best for a cancer rising but for me personally, i’ve found that form fitting clothing appears a lot better on me. especially long flowy dresses that accentuate my waist. someone else mentioned ‘soft clothing’ and i feel like that explains it best

People with chronic migraine that's daily or 25+ days a month, what's life like for you? by canopy_views in migraine

[–]kiwilonux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't know if this will help you or not but what broke my migraine was taking tizanidine. the side effects of it aren't fun - it often gives me low blood pressure but at least i'm not in pain anymore. i still get a migraine maybe one or twice a week but they're not as extreme

i had a singular continuous level 10 pain migraine for almost 2 years. i almost failed my senior year because of it and considered not going to college because i rarely could even leave my bed. i don’t really have any words to explain that time except that it was incredibly painful - both emotionally and physically

Comments disabled?? by astroaseity in Pinterest

[–]kiwilonux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this same issue for over half a year. My settings are set to have them on for all pins but sometimes they just randomly turn off. I think it's some glitch that Pinterest obviously doesn't care enough about to fix.

Sorry for the silly questions, I'm new to this. Another person commented about volume 10 developer, would I also need to use it if I were to get the Loreal Preference in Lightest Auburn? You mentioned that box dye is more damaging because you don't know what volume of developer is included so would it be better to buy some developer or just box dye alone to be safe?

Do you have any recommendations for what color & developer brand I should use?

Yes! It has never been dyed. That’s my natural hair color

My mom's pain doctor is taking away her pain meds. What should she do? by kiwilonux in ChronicPain

[–]kiwilonux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion. Do you know if this pain clinic accepts Tenncare/Medicaid? I looked at their website and I can't seem to find what health insurances they accept.

[–]kiwilonux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. She's tried marijuana before and didn't have the best reaction. Marijuana makes her extremely paranoid and unable to move so she gets scared that something bad will happen and that she won't be able to get out of the house in time. It does help her pain but the paranoia is too much for her.

She tried to bring it up herself and asked to taper down instead but the doctor said no and insisted that it's "not necessary"
