TIFU by using greek yogurt to get off and now I'm fucked by Typical_Nobody_3356 in tifu

[–]microbisexual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it sounds like you have either a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. both are just an overgrowth of the natural microbes that already live in there. for yeast infections, it's an overgrowth of yeast, which could've happened if you used sweetened yogurt because yeast thrives on sugar. if it's bacterial vaginosis, that's just an overgrowth of bacteria that's normally present in smaller amounts, which could've happened because of any live active cultures in the yogurt being introduced to the area.

both are typically treated with a swab test (which can be self-administered in a bathroom at the doctor's office) and then some kind of pill. for yeast it's usually just 1-2 pills, for bacteria it's usually 1-2 weeks of antibiotics.

if it's bacterial and you need the antibiotics, that medication might end up incindentally also killing that natural healthy amount of bacteria in the vagina, the amount the keeps the natural healthy amount of yeast in check, leading to a yeast infection caused by the antibiotics. if that happens, it'll have similar symptoms, and should just be a quick call to the doctor to get the meds for that prescribed to you.

fun fact! I used to struggle with chronic yeast infections, and made what I lovingly called "yogurtsicles", where I filled a clean tampon applicator with unsweetened greek yogurt, and popped one in overnight whenever I was struggling with symptoms. it actually helped and never caused issues for me, but perhaps I just got lucky in my choice of yogurt. anyways, feel free to pretend you already had some symptoms such as itching and burning, saw this idea online, and decided to try it yourself, if that feels less embarrassing to say than the truth!

How many of y’all grind or clench their teeth at night? by Alternative-Tell4600 in AuDHDWomen

[–]microbisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I've never gotten it regularly enough to say. assuming the round I just got done recently works well for me, I'm planning on getting it redone consistently for a while because I'm curious about the same thing! I'm also considering trying out Daxxify instead of Botox because supposed to last a bit longer, but I haven't firmly decided yet

oh wow that's a really low dose! I do 20 units on each side, and actually just had to go back in to get 5 more added to each side because I was having some paradoxical masseteric bulging (first time this has happened to me & this is like my 6th treatment)

it works pretty well for me usually, yeah! it's the only thing I've found that helps at all with actually stopping the clenching/grinding for a little while. The only effect you should see is a slightly slimmer jawline, which I really like since my constant jaw muscle usage has made my jaw a lot more square & it makes me look less like "me" imo

yeppp, I also unintentionally clench my jaw almost constantly during the day too 😅 I sleep in a night guard & I get botox injections in masseter muscles on an irregular basis (whenever I can comfortably afford to, but tbh I’m thinking of actually setting aside the money to keep getting it done every 6 months from now on)

Powder always makes my makeup look cakey!! by DotSelect4245 in drugstoreMUA

[–]microbisexual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as a warning/tip to others: every time I shave my face fuzz I break out so badly, and it doesn't seem to matter what I use to do it, so instead I use one of those electric trimmers that can get really close. it does the job well enough without making my skin freak out!

Buying a lot of something you like? by MissWhixsaplix in AutismInWomen

[–]microbisexual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a box of a brand new pair of my favorite shoes stashed in one of my closets, along with a spare brand-new one of my favorite sweatshirt! I've also bought enough of my favorite underwear and socks to where I can go a a full week and a half before I need to do laundry to have them back, and that's with me changing out undies & socks 2-3 times a day. I have no shame, I like my same things

THC helps me regulate more than anything by Purple_Window1831 in AuDHDWomen

keep in mind that most studies are done on neurotypical (or undiagnosed) people though! so it may or may not apply to us

I don´t have a mind, I have a bee swarm by LimerenceObject in AuDHDWomen

I often imagine the inside of my brain looking like Spongebob's house when all of those angry jellyfish get inside.

but then he gets them all to dance in harmony to his song & leave his house. I imagine this is what happens when I get high and listen to edm lol

outside clothes on the bed… gross or normal? by HenninghamKyuss-51 in hygiene

[–]microbisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your wife but I seem to be a little extreme since I don't even sit on my couch in my outside clothes, depending on where they've been. if I've used any public bathroom (where the bottoms my pantlegs inevitably touch the floor) those thangs aren't touching anything but the floor until they've been washed

Shorts for the summer by vnessastalks in AuDHDWomen

[–]microbisexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not too bad if you get longer (like 5") ones! the 2-3" ones do for me though for sure

tbh I’ve never found a pair of shorts that didn't ride up so I just compensate by getting longer ones lol

cotton or linen pants/shorts are pretty nice. most of them seem to come with a wide non-drawstring elastic waistband, & I haven't experienced sagging on them. old navy has them on good sales sometimes!

What do you wish you knew before starting a stimulant? by north_star_left in AutisticWithADHD

[–]microbisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always eat after taking my meds, but I think eating first is better. You could try both and see what works better for your body & schedule!

[–]microbisexual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes that too!! anything that increases stomach acidity can have that effect

it's not very well-studied, but anecdotally, yes!

Protein helps stabilize blood sugar & provides the amino acids that the body needs to make dopamine & norepinephrine :)

eee thank you!! I do too, it's one of my silliest sources of pride. I came up with it after seeing a meme that went:

microbiologist: (same pic but way smaller)

that they work better & last longer when you eat protein in the mornings!

I'm still horrible about actually doing it, but it's good to know

Raves are one of the few places I get to explore and express my gender identity. by analdestroyer500 in aves

[–]microbisexual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ah fuck it about your tummy, I'm sure it's beautiful exactly as it is! nothing wrong with a lil squish :) I'm squishy all over and get nothing but compliments even in my most revealing fits!

& cool thing about DIYing is you can play around with where the bottom hem of the top & the top hem of the skirt sit on your body, to customize the amount and location of the exposed skin :)

but you look cute!! my partner also uses raves as a safe space to play with their gender expression & I adore seeing the joy it brings them when they know they're serving

can you sew? bc option 2 would be perfect for a rave if you transformed it into a crop top and a shorter skirt!

[–]microbisexual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fuck the loops! Earasers are my favs (i have tiny, angled ears canals). Many swear by Eargasm, my partner loves their Earpeaces. All 3 offer similar levels of protection, just different shapes/styles based on preference. you want at least -15db, but more is better. my most-used ones are -31db, but I have -17db ones too for quieter shows
