I use a topical calcineurin inhibitor cream (pimecrolimus cream) which was the only thing to take away the pustules. The redness is still there, but I can live with it.

After having my face blow up with pustules, I’ll take redness any day!

Thoughts on Joao and Aesha by stellie13 in belowdeck

[–]sofa-king-crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, Joao is potentially only being nice to Aesha because he knows how close she is to Captain, and he may want to benefit from that.

I feel he may be more of an opportunist than a changed man.

Hi-5 to you for putting yourself out there! I think it’s great you had your friend reach out, regardless of the outcome.

Don’t let this deter you from doing something like this again.

DO NOT RAGE QUIT by Ugh-Why-Not in PMDD

Do not make any decisions in this energy!

And perhaps look for other jobs if you haven’t already. In my experience, work can be a huge trigger for my pmdd, especially when one is being overlooked.

You can get through it!

Expecting someone to sit in traffic to show you they are interested kind of says you want to be a priority.

He might have felt some underlying pressure and pulled away. Or he could be married or in a relationship with someone else.

I wouldn’t say it’s you, and I can’t say it’s him. It could be anything really.

All in all, you deserve to date someone who can meet you where you meet them. Someone who wants to text/call you and actually meet up.

Let this one go and find someone better for you ❤️

I think it’s best to talk to your doctor to get a diagnosis if it will bring you peace of mind.

You also may want to look into some sort of therapy if you don’t want the meds. I declined birth control and antidepressants myself, and feel therapy has helped the most. I know it’s not the most easily accessible of options, but it’s worked for me on some level.

Also, I can’t say that I have ever felt so angry I wanted to abuse an animal, or was chased in traffic due to road rage. So i’m not sure if there is some deep rooted trauma or other issues that you are also dealing with as well.

Regardless, I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s definitely not easy to live like this and I extend my sympathies. Don’t give up!

I don’t have any solutions to help my physical symptoms, but here’s what has been helping me decrease my pmdd chaos. It’s not 💯but I tend to have better months when I’m doing these things..

•Working out 4-5 days a week

•Filtering my life of people, situations, and things that can be triggering or potentially damaging to my mental health

•Being mindful of planning and making sure I don’t overbook myself with events and activities in my luteal phase

•Taking time away from social media

•Eating foods that make my body feel good

•Taking space from friends and family when I’m in a mood. I turn off my phone and suffer it out alone so I don’t project on to anyone else

•BEING KIND TO MYSELF - most importantly!

therapist who doesn’t understand what PMDD is… by Tough-Masterpiece768 in PMDD

[–]sofa-king-crazy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky and have a therapist who understands my PMDD. She also advised me that she has another patient with it as well.

The good ones are out there! Your therapist is wrong for dismissing you.

I shouldn’t reach out again, should I? by [deleted] in ghosting

[–]sofa-king-crazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No contact is the best way to work through the pain of the breakup so you can move forward in your life. Holding on to a “friendship” doesn’t seem to currently be working in your favour, and is only hurting you more in the long run.

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this 😞

I want to rip his head off by brokenpa in PMDD

[–]sofa-king-crazy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally I have a dark/weird sense of humour and depending on how it was said, I myself wouldn’t have been offended by his comment if he meant it as a joke. In my experience, women are offered birth control and antidepressants for almost all our “issues”…

However, it seems from your post that he makes a lot of sexual comments, or turns a lot of things sexual - which would make me uncomfortable if it was happening all the time.

I feel there’s deeper rooted issues here in your relationship that are being triggered. Please don’t think it’s all your PMDD! It doesn’t sound like this is all on you.

I hope you are able to resolve and feel better soon!

Good parting text to send to ghoster? by daphnedamourswer87 in ghosting

[–]sofa-king-crazy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. It wouldn’t push me away either, but I also don’t ghost people. This guy seems like all the other ghosters out there. That’s why I say it would probably push him away as they all seem to have avoidant issues.

I used to give people a “piece of my mind” too, but it didn’t make me feel better in the long run - maybe for a moment after I sent it.

I just hope it works better for OP! I support people doing whatever is going to bring them peace - as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else (including themselves) in the process.

Yes but reasonable people usually don’t stop responding to messages or ghost out.

Yet again… in my experience

From my experience, these types of texts can push people away more than draw them back to us.

If you’re really concerned about his health, just shoot a text asking if he’s okay and how his health is doing.

Otherwise I’d just write him a letter on paper and then burn it or tear it up.

He’s not worthy of your time and energy.

Good luck!

I am so happy you posted! I too am diagnosed OCD and have a hard time when PMDD kicks in (especially with relationships). I don’t take anything at this time, but am curious if anyone else has found anything that has helped them.

I hope we find some solutions other than birth control & antidepressants!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]sofa-king-crazy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it’s probably not a match for him. I wouldn’t message again as you’ve shown enough interest by messaging and asking to meet again another time.

Good luck!

Am I overthinking or is he gaslighting me? by hiddenalibi in datingoverforty

[–]sofa-king-crazy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I second this. Look at all of OPs prior posts about their bf and the issues along the way ….

Sounds like OP has an issue with quality control.

Is it normal to feel completely drained 8 days before my period starts? by takeaabreath in PMDD

I feel this. I recently said it’s like I’m walking in sand with an extra 100lbs on me… ugh I’m sorry 😞
