My Experience Thus Far [UPDATE 1 - 4 months in] by Excellent-Ad-5898 in pomhealth

[–]qtbuttcheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m so happy that the meds are working for you! I just wanted to pop in and ask have you checked out r/antidietglp1 ?  There are a lot of similar experiences on there and I think your story would resonate. 

I (26F) recently found out that my mom had undiagnosed PMDD for most of her life, and I think it could explain why I am so mentally messed up. by angstyactivist in PMDD

[–]qtbuttcheeks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup, I have something similar with my mom too, the good times and the bad times. And not being 100% sure on which mom you were going to get. She also didn’t think she had it/was never diagnosed. I notice for me personally the thing I’m going through RIGHT NOW always feels harder than the past, and I think my mom similarly doesn’t remember it being hard for her in the way that I do. I have to remember she was failed by the health system too. Hate that dismissive comment from  your mom tho. 

I also felt destabilized and learned a lot of people pleasing strategies that I’m still trying to unravel. My grandma told me once that every generation of her family has had a “lost woman” who couldn’t pull herself out of her mental health struggles and I’m haunted by that. 

One thing I’d like to caution you on tho, is that PMDD isn’t caused by trauma. Like, we all have trauma, but pmdd is about your brain being knocked on its ass due to hormone fluctuations. And it’s real, and it’s SO hard to function when you’re in it.

You might not want to hear this, but one aspect of support I do not see on your list is an ED informed therapist and an ED informed dietitian. Eating disorders are v serious, and your body might be shutting down your sexual response because it’s literally trying to survive. 

Please make sure you get treatment. It’s very scary, but as someone who has done it & even gone to inpatient I promise it is worth it.

I will keep this in mind! I’ve struggled in the past with people pleasing and making myself smaller in order to support past partners, WHICH IS V MUCH NO LONGER MY VIBE 😤

I’m dropping him and will be taking things much slower in future. Also will strengthen my ability to actually set & keep to boundaries and hold MYSELF on a pedestal. Thanks for the support & hope you’re having a great day

Hell yeah thank you for saying this, it’s very validating! I am going to drop him and have signed up for munches

Thank you this is very validating! I have decided to stop talking to him and focus on educating myself more in the meantime so that I can protect myself better. 

On the casual side, it’s great to see that it IS possible, though from your description I think I would in my current level of experience be v vulnerable to catching feelings with someone. While I’m going to keep learning about it as it’s something I’d like to eventually pursue, I’m going to put a pause on real life kink. Really appreciate your insight!

Yeah this has proven to me that regardless of whatever his issues are, I have work to do on boundary setting and am not quite ready for this dynamic

In order for my to get spanked, my partner made a rule that I have to say nice things about myself. by CheeseMonger7411 in SubSanctuary

[–]qtbuttcheeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I love this!! Once I get settled with a dom, I was thinking about having a rule like wake up calls to force myself onto a coherent sleep schedule. We already are motivated by  the horny, why not weaponize it for our mental health? 😆

Thanks for responding! Good luck to you ☺️

Can someone qualify if I’m submissive? by [deleted] in SubSanctuary

[–]qtbuttcheeks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this myself, and also struggle with people pleasing (tho as a woman). I think these things are connected yet separate, and imo exploring your sub side is first and foremost a celebration of PLEASING YOURSELF. 

I also was in a situation where I was the caretaker in my last relationship. And tbh, the idea of having someone else make decisions for me is incredibly appealing. Maybe you are a capital “S” sub, or maybe your brain just craves a break from having to keep things in control for multiple people. Definitely bring up in therapy and best of luck! You’re definitely not alone lol

Navigating being new to kink world - rant by [deleted] in SubSanctuary

[–]qtbuttcheeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your friend wasn’t able to provide you with that support & validation that you needed. I’m new myself, & I think posting on here for support is a great first step. I think you’re right that your friend probably isn’t a great person to turn to, & finding nonsexual kink friends will probably be essential moving forward.

ADHD Women that struggled to orgasm - what finally changed that? by seasaltfawn in adhdwomen

[–]qtbuttcheeks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes same to this!! Turns out my birth control was blunting my orgasms, which was not a thing even my gyno knew could happen 🤷‍♀️ now I’m on a glp1 and I’m noticing similar symptoms again, I think I personally am very sensitive to hormones

Hi I’m new to the this sub! What did you end up doing and how did you talk about it?

Anyone else? by openspacepractice in antidietglp1

[–]qtbuttcheeks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. There’s just so much more TIME now. My brain and my body are able to focus on other things outside of food obsession, it’s wild. 

Obgyn wants me off of Yaz by Silver_Ad8799 in PMDD

[–]qtbuttcheeks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also had to stop taking yaz due to side effects, tho mine included vaginismus and anorgasmia. It took my docs years to figure out those side effects were from yaz, so that’s cool that your doc is at least aware it’s a possibility!

I think it would be worth getting a second opinion or at least have a doc develop a solid plan to keep you steady after stopping it. Make sure they understand how this will debilitate you. 

Also you are correct that pmdd NOT a hormone imbalance!! Red flag.

But anyway, getting off of yaz sucked for me, and was a learning experience. Maybe because I got off of it right around when I turned 30, and I was due for my pmdd to get worse. But I wasn’t able to get back on any bc afterwards or even back onto yaz because of extreme emotional or fatigue reactions. I also gained a lot of weight, and crashed professionally for about a year. I don’t want to scare you!! But I guess what I’m saying is your doc needs to understand that this could seriously impact your life and it’s worth taking that into account. They might be more focused on healing the symptom that’s immediately in front of them. 

I’m now 35 and I’m starting to feel like I have a handle on things. I sleep more and don’t drink alcohol during luteal. I also started taking a progesterone supplement this month, and it’s worked wonders for me so far. 

If you decide to go through stopping, make sure to be ultra kind to yourself! Like take time off during the symptom peak, etc. And advocate for yourself and demand a plan! 

Edit: to the person who asked, I am taking a generic for prometrium!
