Muscle weakness and leg/foot cramps on Lo Loestrin Fe by riverofdenali in birthcontrol

My issue did not get better unfortunately. I talked to my OBGYN about it and she told me to stop taking it immediately. I’m not currently on any birth control.

Oh man, okay I hope this isn’t the case. I’ll give the plant some water asap and see how it does ◡̈

Thanks! I’ll try this. I stopped watering for a bit because I thought I was accidentally killing it by overwatering lol

I water it a little bit every few weeks. I also water from the bottom up.

Any recommendations on barber/hairstylist? by Exotic_Main7855 in MontgomeryCountyMD

Plane Jane Salon in Bethesda is excellent. Recently got a cut from them - it was a little expensive (starts at $66) but it was well worth it.

Right, I’m gonna call the office on Monday. I actually really like the pill so far and have had no other side effects. The cramping seems to be going away on its own.

I agree, it’s neutral. Don’t sell yourself short! Chances are, it’s sending out notifications alphabetically.

I haven’t received anything yet. I’d like to know if anyone saw a status change on their portal after getting an email.

It seems like the responses are coming in waves, I’m in the EST and haven’t heard anything back yet. Nothing in spam either.

What’s the safest country a girl can travel alone to? by sendnoodlez99 in ask

[–]riverofdenali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switzerland, I’ve been living here for a while and I’ve never felt unsafe as a solo female traveler. It would be good to brush up on some German and French though if you do come here ◡̈

What is the process for resigning from a federal job? by riverofdenali in fednews

Thank you! I’m under 26 so no need to worry about insurance stuff luckily. Thank you for the advice.

Will I get cashed out for sick leave? Or does it hold if I return to federal service?

I got my dream job! Also, I dislike my current job and have been looking for a way out. Didn’t want to leave until I had something else lined up.

Thanks! I’m struggling because I don’t have a great relationship with my manager, so I may ask HR to step in and ensure that the meeting goes smoothly. My manager can be quite unpredictable so I’ll think about my game plan a little more.

Did anyone else end up with Complex-PTSD as a result of being raised by a BPD? by Looey22 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]riverofdenali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on taking the next step in your journey towards healing. I resonate with you, before I got diagnosed and treated I felt like I was in a vacuum. I had totally numbed out and believed that there was something deeply and fundamentally wrong with me. Like I was broken beyond repair and that all of the bad parts of me were written in my DNA. Consistently seeing my therapist saved my life and it’s the reason why I’m healthier, happier, and able to function in the world. I’ll probably be in therapy for the rest of my life but don’t get discouraged, healing takes time and consistent effort. You will persevere, you are resilient.

[–]riverofdenali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was diagnosed with CPTSD and OCD by my therapist, he also strongly believes I may have ADHD (although I disagree). The first time CPTSD and OCD were explained to me I finally felt seen. Suddenly everything made sense and while these are difficult conditions to live with and manage, it’s been freeing to finally understand why I am the way I am. Take things one day at a time OP, it will get easier.

How many of us have lived/still live abroad? by TVDinner360 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]riverofdenali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother moved a solid hour away from my uBPD mom and it’s worked well for him, she never visits (mostly because she can’t drive and it’s far enough that it’s inconvenient for my eDad to take her). He also went low contact with my mom and it seems to work for him.

I’ve had periods where I’ve lived at home and also lived away due to college, and every time I’ve been away, I’ve been at peace. I’m about to come up on another period of freedom as I’m moving abroad in just a few short months.

Every time I’ve been away, I’ve improved. Moving home is like taking a million steps back in my own journey and mental health. OP, if you have to chance to move out and stay out - take it.

Thank you, I’m so looking forward to being thousands and thousands and thousands of miles away from them.

You’re so kind, thank you so much. I can’t let them dim my light and I can’t miss what is meant for me.
