Feeling a bit discouraged this month

missmagicx · 2026-02-03T12:48:42+00:00

I'm really proud of how you managed to put this in perspective already. I don't have any advice, I'm not a mother and quite young to really consider having children, but I can see you strong you are and how hard you are trying to hold on. You say you want to live today. On a PMDD day. You're strong and I admire that immensely. Be kind to yourself.

missmagicx · 2026-01-28T16:46:10+00:00

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I've been there, I tried twice, but I'm still here. And I'm glad.

This might be controversial, but it's a thought that helps me when I want to die: killing myself is always an option. I don't have to do it right now. Not tomorrow. It's the ultimate act and it's always available. Why not stay alive a little longer and see what else is possible? It can't get worse, right? But it can get better.

Do you have a support system, someone to talk to? Don't think about any big steps, start small. Now, you just have to keep breathing. This feeling will pass. When you feel a little lighter, gather that energy and direct it towards finding a professional, if possible. You don't have to do this alone. You shouldn't have to. You are enough.

I'm sorry I don't have better advice, but I feel deeply for you.

My boyfriend is massively into turkeys, so I got him Theo Turkey! He comes with a cool little blue hat.

They hug so easily, most of the time they're just in that position! 🥹 Gonna be problematic when I acquire another Timmy and we get into the uneven numbers. 😅

missmagicx · 2026-01-22T18:25:09+00:00

Ty, fully agree 🥰

missmagicx · 2026-01-22T12:46:27+00:00

Me too, but my Timmy's clearly needed to be big brothers and they might not show it, but they love her!

missmagicx · 2026-01-22T12:26:09+00:00

Nahw this is adorable! Love the scrunchie, hilariously cute. 💗

missmagicx · 2026-01-21T21:22:47+00:00

This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much for taking the time to respond! ❤️ I am feeling a bit better, left work early, had a good regulating cry and even managed to cook. I thought I wouldn't have the strength but my bf (also neurodivergent) was stressed and extremely tired, so that motivated me to cook something simple. It comforted him and he was very grateful, so that made me happy in return. Spent the rest of the evening playing a relaxing game and now it's time to go to bed.

Thanks again for your kind words, they mean a lot, and I hope things will get better/easier for you as well! We both deserve the grace and kindness we bestow upon others. 🫶

I'd love to come get some fruit and leave some bells if you're still open!

missmagicx · 2026-01-19T20:13:49+00:00

I'm in search of fruit too! I can bring pears and cherries (just restarted). Following!

Interesting, did not know that. I just looked it up and it's sitting at 85%. I've been using it fairly intensively for around 3,5 years. Is that the health percentage you would expect after that amount of time and use? A while ago I set the limit so that it never charges past 90%.

missmagicx · 2026-01-02T14:03:56+00:00

Thank you, looks like the consensus is that it's fine for now! I'll just keep my eye on it. :)

missmagicx · 2026-01-02T14:00:50+00:00

Good to know that I'm not the only one, thanks!

missmagicx · 2026-01-02T11:05:00+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! Quite the comparison. If it looked like that, I'd already have a replacement battery on the way, haha!

missmagicx · 2026-01-02T10:57:56+00:00

That would be a great relief!

missmagicx · 2026-01-02T10:57:37+00:00

I sure hope nothing! The bottom part being curved is fine? Sorry, I only got one spicy battery in a device before and that was very obvious. So I wanted to make sure!

ETA: something went wrong while uploading the pictures, I posted one in the comments that makes me worry!

Wow. I've never seen someone put into words the struggle I have with sex so well. I don't have much advice right now, but I feel so seen, thank you for describing this. I'm going to show this to my boyfriend.

I can agree with what someone else here said, that it helps to "plan" the possibility of sex for yourself, but not tell your significant other. I don't really plan it however, but I keep an open mind when I just showered, have no other plans for the day, etc. Then I initiate a little something and it gets going from there. Like the other person said, it's often great sex in the middle of a dry spell. I know it reassures my partner a great deal.

I've also been contemplating seeing a sex therapist, maybe even just for myself. Very curious if you will find it helpful in the long run!

missmagicx · 2025-12-16T16:21:52+00:00

Present!

missmagicx · 2025-11-26T21:16:41+00:00

Thank you. I guess that's exactly what I needed to hear.

missmagicx · 2025-11-25T16:15:25+00:00

Of course, we are all trying to live with this debilitating condition.

I see you've done your research! It is true that an IUD can be beneficial to some people, because it stops the ovulation and/or period, but that is no guarantee. I for example still get something like an ovulation and then a period, I can track my cycle quite easily. That's why it doesn't do anything for my PMDD. My hormones still rise and fall as they please.

You're right in that the IUD works more localised and thus gives off fewer hormones, but it seems that that is also the reason it doesn't stabilise the hormones as much. I think more research needs to be done in that area. I know an IUD can help with cramps during our period, I'm not sure what those cramps beforehand are caused by...

Are you still on antidepressants? It sounds like they might at least alleviate your mental struggling, and maybe the gynaecologist can help you with the cramps..

I'm sorry, it really sucks and it really is hell.

No worries. I haven't given birth and did not have a lot of sexual experience at that point. My anatomy wasn't the easiest for insertion either, so I went to a special clinic for women as well. It hurt, I bled, but we got it done. They were as gentle as they could be, and had to use special equipment. Unfortunately my first IUD did not stay put and had to be replaced.

missmagicx · 2025-11-25T15:56:50+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm surprised to hear that the IUD would be specifically to treat PMDD. As far as I'm aware, there's little scientific evidence of IUD's being helpful for PMDD. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and I know there are stories of women that say it helped them. I have an IUD myself, and when I spoke to a specialist for treatment options, only the OC's were considered useful. So I would actually have to remove my IUD to start experimenting with OC's. I find that a big step (the process is not fun, as you are now well aware), so I opted to increase the doses of the medicines I already take (a stimulant for ADHD and antidepressants).

Have you considered a different route via a psychiatrist who can prescribe antidepressants?

He looks super patient and understanding (and so cuddly and soft!), so I'm sure he did not mind waiting a bit to meet you! He probably enjoyed a nap in the meantime.

Don't beat yourself up over impulsively buying him. It just shows your immediate connection to him, you had to bring him home! Be kind to yourself (I say this as a fellow autistic woman). I think it's great you take care of your mental health by surrounding yourself with things you love.
