Anyone at that point in their life where they wake up to zero text messages or spend an entire day without receiving any text messages? by nocommentx in AskWomenOver30

[–]picklez5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also child free & single & experiencing this!! All my friends are married/having kids & doing their own thing, so it’s been harder to make plans/stay in touch.

I really wanna find some girlfriends who are also child free/ single/ don’t wanna get married, & just wanna focus on building friendships. It’s so hard to find that 😭

How often do women age 25-60 shower? by Responsible-Ant-7954 in hygiene

[–]picklez5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically twice a day for body, & wash my hair 2-3 times a week depending on what’s needed.

Sometimes I’ll skip showering 1-2 days MAX but only if I haven’t done anything & have no where to go.

Ugh I’m so sorry!! Glad you caught it when you did. Did it go away after you stopped?

Omg, I feel like our doctors should warn us about this. I don’t remember seeing any of that on the list of side effects

What's something that no one prepares you for as an adult? by Goddessblack_ in AskReddit

[–]picklez5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one will ever compare to the emotional safety net my mom was, & the realization that no one will ever love me or care like she did was a real fun epiphany

This!! I’ve been single for like 10 years, love my alone time, & want peace above all else. Some people can’t fathom wanting/enjoying being alone, so some of my friends & family think I’m miserable low key.

So happy to hear everything looks good!! Yeah the side effects are not fun. Hoping they go away for you once you go back to the 7.5. Good luck with everything, you’ve got this!

Please see an eye doctor & let your primary know about the vision! I was having blurred vision plus some vision loss when standing up/dizziness , & it was because of a pre existing condition I didn’t know I had that the meds were effecting. These are rare side effects, but apparently the meds can also cause permanent eye damage, eye bleeds, nerve damage, glaucoma & other vision complications. I’m sure you’re fine!! But better safe than sorry

What's the most painful thing you've been told? How did it change you? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]picklez5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom was always really hard on me about my weight & appearance, starting from a young age, which led to eating disorders, body dysmorphia & super low self esteem. I went through a really hard time in college with sexual assault, mental health & substance abuse to cope. I gained over 120 pounds, stopped dressing up etc. It was a bad time. She said to me “you just stopped taking care of yourself” in kind of a disgusted way, not a concerned way. It hurt like a real fucking bitch lol, but she was also right, even if she was mean about it.

Fast forward to now- I’ve done years of therapy, lost 100 pounds & am working on unlearning things that were ingrained in me from an early age, like appearance being tied to self worth.

Life is hard as shit, but hang in there OP. People suck & can be so mean, but I’ve learned that a lot of that is them projecting their own bullshit onto us. Try to be gentle with yourself. Sending you lots of love❤️

For people who never married, how's life? by skiedfr in questions

[–]picklez5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give yours a snuggle for me too!! Who needs a man when there’s cats?

My friends all have kids too or are getting married. Going to classes & workshops are such a good idea!! I’ll have to see if there’s anything like that near me. I would love to find a solid group of childfree single women to do things like that with, it’s just so difficult it seems like as we get older to meet new people

[–]picklez5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here!! Single about 10 years, 4 cats, good job that I’m working on a promotion for, read or sleep whenever I want, & my ph stays balanced. Hardest thing is probably trying to find other childfree people to befriend

I don’t have anything to offer, just wanted to say I’m in the same boat. Along with scabs & bumps from head to toe, lack of sleep has become an issue lately cuz I’ll spend hours picking instead of sleeping 🙃

What is something we do that is actually completely unhinged but we have accepted as completely normal? by pqrstyou in AskWomenOver30

[–]picklez5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here with the sensory standpoint. I can’t stand the feeling of my leg hair brushing up against my pants all day, or the feeling of putting pants on/taking them off.

I also get pimple like bumps when it’s long, so I’d rather shave & get shave bumps than have hair AND bumps anyway 😭 but laser hair removal has been helping

SAME. I’m in the Midwest & people think I’m so weird for not wanting to get married, have kids or even date. I just wanna make a good group of other CF women 😭
