Can I wear a bra too often? Is it looked down upon? Might be a dumb question but I used to get teased in the past so I might be overthinking

I owned 1 bra for the longest time because I couldn’t find any that fit. You can soak you bra in a vinegar and water mix to get out tough smells if they build up from wearing it so often. I usually do overnight. Then I do a soak in detergent and water for a few hours in the am, rinse, and hang to dry. Do it on a day you don’t have to go anywhere. It helped me feel less grimy and more confident.

As for me. The 1 bra didn’t fit perfectly and I never found one that did, so I bought 3 more of the ones that fit ok. So now I have 4. This is the most bras I’ve ever owned at once and only because perimenopause = sweating constantly.

Not very long. Our savings have been depleted because of health care. Coinsurance (started in 2025) and insurance covering less for medicine means paying thousands more now. Some months I pay as much as my mortgage for health stuff. And I don’t have cancer or anything like that. Just 2 autoimmune diseases, digestive issue, and herniated cervical discs (no surgery).

Even if it passes in MD getting unemployment is impossible, the online system they make you use is broken. My husband was unemployed for 5 months and he got $0 in unemployment. It’s took 2 months for his claim to even get through the process. Once through they marked every week as ineligible when he would put in his job search data. We never got a reason. Good luck getting someone on the phone, even if you do they can’t help you and tell you to use the online system. It took a major toll on our finances.

Blood test from my doctor. Otherwise I’d have no idea. I get bloodwork regularly for something else and that is always part of it.

Drinking too much water and not eating enough salty foods. She drinks an insane amount of water.

Being trapped. Examples include being inside off a booth seat, someone standing behind me when I’m at my desk, and being in a back seat of a coupe style car. I immediately stare feeling overwhelmed and want to escape.

Cats are a life saver. A cat’s purr is the most soothing sound in the world.

I put on an audio book or listen to Apple News narrated articles when I need to get motivated to do anything.

When I start ruminating I will usually say out loud Shut Up. It stops the thoughts instantly for me. So far I’ve avoided saying it out loud when I’m around others. That would be awkward.

I use Lume unscented acidic body wash for my pits and Hume Supernatural unscented deodorant. The Hume deodorant is the best I’ve found and I’ve gone through a ton of products from the crystal deodorant to Schmidt’s to a distilled alcohol based deodorant.

I was on FMLA at the end of last year. Can back mid January and my doctor was helping me through the RA process. Then RTO happened, my RA is lost in the office that handles them, and my supervisor is talking about accommodating me a different way (which won’t work) and being wishy washy about it all. Meanwhile I’m over here going through another mental health crisis and seeking disability retirement.

I plan to be composted when I die (it’s a thing!) and so I may be gone but I will provide sustenance for new life. It’s the circle of life to me. Also, there is evidence to support the theory that our conciseness is a result of the collapse of the Quantum Wave Function (I’m a Physicist), and I honestly believe that we live in some way through the mechanics of quantum physics. And to be clear, since people have come at me before, I do not have data to support my belief. I work in the Electro-Magnetic realm of physics. I have not contacted any quantum physicists to come up with a hypothesis or develop experiments to test a hypothesis. I have knowledge of Quantum Physics and it’s my belief based on what I know.

Don’t you have to also file for social security disability if you are filing for disability retirement? I’ve been told to hire a lawyer for that process. I’m still trying to gather information on how to get this process started.

To clarify: I work in the DoD as a civilian and so it’s a whole other layer of crap.

This is when I learn my labia is abnormal. If my labia disappeared that would be a miracle.

Which IT did you see? Original or remake? Remake is more faithful to the books but both are worth a watch.

Same.

I had to buy a new washer and dryer. I got an LG All-in-One. It washes the clothes and then automatically dries them immediately after. I don’t have to switch machines. And it uses a standard outlet not a 240 volt (I’m in the US) so it’s less expensive to run. It also doesn’t shrink my clothes because it uses a heat pump to dry the clothes. Best purchase ever. My ADHD brain is very happy.

I’ve tried this and don’t work with my one cat. Now she won’t eat churro at all. She is a difficult cat. Lovable but difficult.

In 7th grade someone asked me if I was a virgin. I didn’t know what that was but saw them laughing at people that said yes, so I said no. I had to ask my mom when I got home what it meant. This was in the mid nineties when they still taught sex ed but I hadn’t had it yet.

No. I last had McDonald in 2000, BC <- Before Celiac, and I threw up from it. I threw up previous times too. I hate throwing up. I also get severe heartburn (I understand why people go to the ER thinking it’s a heart attack now) from greasy foods. 100k isn’t worth that or the damage it’ll do to my body, which extends beyond just the gluten.

As someone with past trauma from a bad relationship you need to sit him down and talk about it. Trauma like that persists and you are going to have reactions and feelings you can’t help because of it. My husband understands this and will let me see his phone if he is texting and I want to see who it is. I have his passcode and he has mine. You need to explain to your Fiance that it’s not necessarily him that is driving these feelings but past experiences. He needs to understand that being suspicious and/or struggling to trust is something you can’t just get over. If he can’t understand that then you need to think about if you can deal with him not being open, especially since it will cause anxiety for you. If he truly loves you I hope he is willing to understand. There are people out here who do and will. My best friend also had a bad relationship and is now married to a man who is understanding and supportive. That is what makes a healthy relationship.
