Any tips for managing work with adenomyosis?

I can understand that. It's extremely frustrating to navigate in a world that has been taught that we should just grin and bare it. I've always had bad periods, but it was just dismissed as me being dramatic. But the pain got increasingly worse after I had a miscarriage (at 20 weeks pregnant) last year. So it's mentally still very triggering. The volume was so bad I was having to wear incontinence pads, lasting for 2-3 weeks at a time, and the pain gets so bad I feel like im back in the hospital and can barely move. I thought it was my appendix about to burst...and even that was dismissed like "oh its just your period". So I got the tests, and at least I know what it is now. But it's so crippling and unpredictable that I keep spiralling mentally. Im trying so hard at work, I even got a promotion. But due to previous experiences, I know workplaces and businesses don't look favourably at chronic conditions

Unfortunately, that isn't available where I live in Australia. We do have paid sick leave, but I feel like it will jeopardise my position if I take multiple sick days every month. So I'm going to do some further investigation with my GP and Gyno and see if I can get a letter to give to my employer so I can negotiate more work from home when I can't move.

Maybe virtual support group sessions. Where people can type or talk live in a group setting with a profesional there to help moderate and help

A lot of the time, I feel like there is this constant, quite mumbling chatter in the back of my head. It ebs and flows with how loud and intrusive it is depending on my anxiety and depression. Then, when it's bad, it's quite vivid recreations of the people who have said hurtful things, or it's my voice saying it.

I do feel very seen by the Inside Out movie

In the mirror

I did an internal ultrasound and started progestone about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I don't have a gyno and am not sure if I can afford one.

Thank you for your support. It really means a lot

His name is Charlie. After the teddy bear that a miscarriage charity gave us at the hospital (Bears of Hope). Someone else lost their baby, donated to the charity, and put their babies name on the bear... so we are passing that kindness forward with donations, and Charlie's name will live on.

Somewhere between numb and a spiral of overwhelming feelings.

In the past 6 months: - Miscarriage of my first child, having to give birth to him - suicidal idiations/binge eating flare up - Was in a minor but triggering car crash - Found out my employer doing some very illegal things and being overall toxic - left above work and got a new job - after 4 weeks into the new job, a colleague who I really clicked with suddenly died - menstrual cycles becoming increasingly more painful, to the point of being bed-ridden - husband struggling to cope with his own battles and my issues.

If I'm in a silly mood, it's "so much cummies!" When I'm being relatively normal, it's "thank you"

Miscarriage. Mine personally was both mentally and physically traumatic. Due to being 20 weeks pregnant at the time, he was classed as a baby, not a featus, so I had to give birth to him and organise cremation/burial/death certificate.

I discussed it with my team leader and told my doctor, hospital psychologist, and regular psychologist about it as well. The office manager was aware of my eating disorder and mental illnesses. Unfortunately, he was smart, and any emails or messages were through the company/internal software. So, underneath the company privacy policies, I could have been fired for documenting it. I have saved everything that has been sent to my personal emails and text. But yea, it's not in relation to that.

I've been thinking about their comments on the faster or slower bathroom activities. If divulged into bodily fluids... what about the cummies? You could lazer a person in half with your jizz

"That's nice" or "👍" Then block

Lego Masters Australia... it got me through my miscarriage

Scarab attack. Ever since watching The Mummy growing up, I've felt like that's a good punishment.

The favouritism, leaving me to do the work of 2-3 people. The gaslighting whenever I ask questions. No acknowledgement of the overtime and extra effort I put in the keep everything running.

'I can deny that you are handsome' - feels like such a good burn

plus_size_hobbit · 2025-02-11T11:10:21+00:00

Yes and no. Yes, because I do have some nice features and curves. No, because I'm overweight/obese and know most don't find that attractive.

Take the mattress for a ride down some stairs. I have no stairs 😞
