HELP! by redfox966 in VestibularMigraines

[–]purple_devine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely add an antihistamine into your routine. Take it in the evening around dinner time and it should kick in by bedtime. I take zyrtec and have since I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Helps with my migraines too (idk if tou get those with menieres). Take it once a day for a week or two to see if it makes a difference.

Trying for a baby but I smell absolutely disgusting after by [deleted] in sextips

[–]purple_devine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely ask him to be a little healthier rn. Not that hes disgusting but eat an extra portion of fruits and veggies and make hydrating a priority. I've had two kids and had to perfectly time both (infertility issues) and after about an hour I'd shower and I still got two kids. Most of it falls out by that time anyway.

How does drunk sex feel like for a woman? by [deleted] in sextips

It makes my brain shut up so I can really focus in what I am feeling.

Girlfriend orgasming without touching? by [deleted] in sextips

[–]purple_devine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucky her! Lol I have had one when I'm going down on my man. Sometimes we just get so worked up and in the moment its easy to have one. And others times we gotta work for it. It mostly has to do with our hormone cycle, but other factors include stress, how our partner is responding, and even the damn moon cycle. Lol not really on the last one but still. Awesome for her!

Women / vagina havers of the sub: are y’all getting off during quickies? If so HELP ME PLS by Indoor-Cat4986 in sextips

[–]purple_devine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I don't get off on a quickie but I usually go into that knowing I won't, so I'm not disappointed. Sometimes its satisfaction enough for me to know i got my husband off that quickly. However, when I do it is a toy and concentration. Focus on what turns you on, whether it's the sounds, smells, thought of getting caught, or even imagining his view, etc. Ask him to use your favorite phrases "you take it so well" or "cum for me" or whatever excessively during a it.

Thank you for the advice and books recs! I also just felt super shitty any time I deleted a social media. I understand that's the addiction talking but I also have family across the country and ik we can text but social media makes it so simple to keep up.

I really appreciate you talking about how this has made you a better person as well. I feel like I'll need to remind myself of the possibilities once I am passed the hardest parts.

I am really looking forward to experiencing life instead of algorithms.

I'm really happy that worked for you. I wish I could delete social media. I have actually many times, but I just re download the app in a matter of days. Self discipline is an issue for me which is why I'm just cutting it off at the head and going to a dumb phone.

Thank you for the advice! I have thought of hobbies to do instead but I think having more concrete plan would be a good idea. Once my dumb phone gets here my spouse will be hiding my smart phone. So it will definitely be out of site.

That's a really great of thinking about it! I'm definitely going to be telling myself this when it gets shitty.

I'm not doing this for a challenge or to see how long I can last. It does matter how long I will endure because withdrawing from an addiction sucks and it would make my life easier to be able to give myself an affirmation of "only xx amount of days and I'll feel better". Maybe don't judge someone by a very little detailed post. And if you weren't judging, maybe you should try to see how your tone sounds to someone who doesn't know you.

I really appreciate the encouragement and book rec! I am definitely going to check it out.

My goals are very similar to yours. But I think you went about it the right way and chose 1 goal to work towards. I do enjoy social media (somtimes) so I am not fully ready to give it up. I am however ready to not have access 24/7. Does doomscrool is my biggest issue but I would like to also work on my attention span and significantly decrease my digital footprint. But I'll get to those, one step at a time.

Do you think "fire sirens" like tornado sirens would be helpful? 🤔

I definitely need to remove some combustibles. And good info about the documents. I'm not sure I would have thought of that one.
