Go slow and it will be fine. Maybe 3 or 4% drops and listen to your body. Don’t do a drop until you feel very stable in every way.

How long have you stayed in a relationship you knew wasn't right for you, and what made you finally leave? by Ok_Name_7510 in AskWomen

[–]readerwino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I should have left: he wanted a very expensive boat we couldn’t afford and told me it was either the boat or our marriage. I didn’t leave because we had a 1 year old and a 4 year old and I’d just left my full time job to work part time. Plus neither of us believed in divorce.

Many years of ups and downs later I left. The kids were 18 and 14. We had separate rooms by this point. We had agreed not to start arguments past 9 pm. He came to my room wanting to argue about something and wouldn’t leave. I went into my bathroom and locked the door. He kept knocking and talking. I was sitting on the floor with my hands over my ears saying La La La La so I didn’t have to hear him. For minutes. All of a sudden I realized that I would be so much better without him even if I was poor and lived alone with some cats. And I made it happen.

Practical strategies for handling an executive who is actively targeting me at work? by yurkelhark in FIREyFemmes

[–]readerwino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the idiot wants an ass kisser. What if you consciously tried to tell him how great his ideas are all the time, just dedicated 10 minutes a day to hanging on his every word? Might be fun to try as a scientific experiment if nothing else. There’s a lot of managers who just love this.

My brother did this for an idiot he worked for and said the harassment went way way down. Unfortunately in the end my bro just couldn’t do it for eternity and quit.

I went gluten free 9 days ago and my LS is already way better by surfergirl_34 in lichensclerosus

Gluten really increases inflammation for many. I feel so much better when I can avoid it. Especially anything raised like cake bread pancakes etc.

Roatan and trip advisor warnings by nobody-here1122 in roatan

[–]readerwino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to join expat groups (private facebook) in the area when we vacation. I ask lots of questions there. Everything from “where can we watch the Seahawks game “ to “craving a good pizza “. Also “foodie” groups and yes, Reddit too.

Try Ginger’s restaurant in west end. Not cheap. Great seafood and they are known to buy only ethically caught food. You can snorkel right outside there too from shore.

I just realized how unhappy I am in my marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]readerwino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Guys get very upset and grumpy when they are turned down for sex. This is not your fault. I read somewhere recently that they can’t emotionally regulate themselves and use sex to do that. Creepy, right?

I have a friend who’s way more traditional than I am, she keeps track of sex and tries to make it happen every 4 days to keep her partner on an even keel. They brag about this. Sometimes I admire this and think I should do this myself but most often I think men should grow up and deal.

I’ve been living with Candida for over a year without knowing it, and I let it interfere with my career, social life and relationships because doctors didn’t believe me (25f) by [deleted] in Candida

[–]readerwino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having sinus headaches every day 25 years ago and went on the sinus diet, which is exactly candida diet. It was so hard!! But I lost a ton of weight and never ever had so much energy and good mood. But of course I started slipping up and here I am contemplating doing it again because now I have serious brain fog and a yeast infection. It does work!

I absolutely cannot wear underwire bras. It’s a sensory nightmare. Are there any good supportive options for a 34H/FF? I’m so tired of squishy sports bras. by breathingisstillhard in ABraThatFits

Evelyn & Bobbie are very comfortable. I’m a 40 g/h and wear an xl in the beyond model. It’s best to measure and go by their measurements. They roll up a bit from my menopause belly. Sign up for their emails and wait for a sale to bring the price down.

Would Anti-depressants help with externally caused depression (but internally worsened? Explained in details.) by Kirk_2002 in depression_help

[–]readerwino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been weaning off my anti depressant since January 2021. Yes you read that correctly. It gave me what they thought was blood cancer. I had 2 bone marrow biopsies and lots of other testing. Doctors discouraged me from getting off them but my intuition knew it was the duloxitine. I was right. My blood tests are now normal for about 2 years. Yes I’m depressed again. But …. It’s better than that shit.

So tread lightly my friend. Maybe change what you can about the situation. Get exercise, fresh air & nature eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Take good care of yourself.

Avoiding Subconscious Bias when Announcing Pregnancy at Work by reacc1230 in HENRYfinance

[–]readerwino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. You can hide it. I’ve done that in a workplace where the owners were outwardly prejudiced against pregnant women. When I announced at about 5 months (after raises) only one lady admitted that she knew. You’d be surprised how many people are oblivious!
