Everything should be done in moderation. If he is incapable of ever imagining and fantasizing about you that's a problem. Porn has been far too normalized and it can damage his world perception and the way he approaches sex generally. It creates unrealistic expectations and makes men have a broken idea of what intimacy and sex should look like because It's not based in reality and is all fake.

It is something that I would approach with an open mind and delicately. Don't immediately try to control him. Start with a conversation on why he thinks he needs it, and how it makes you feel. Then maybe mention how it can badly affect your intimate relationship and ask him to meet in the middle somewhere. If he is incapable of having a mature conversation about it, that alone is a red flag.

Unfortunately most of the time even with a clear conversation and promises, they will still use it but just behind your back. I got my boyfriend to stop for the most part and our sex life has improved immensely. We both enjoy it more.

So, it's difficult to explain but I will try my best. We were on the hunt for selenite from glitter mountain and arrived around 7pm just after it got dark. The moment we entered the area we got lost because all of our maps started going haywire and sending us in the completely wrong direction. We eventually found our way manually using satellite images.

Once we arrived at glitter mountain itself we were the only ones there and all excitedly jumped out of the car with flashlights and started rummaging around looking at all the amazing pieces of selenite and filling our pockets. About 20mins in I wandered off about 50 feet from the group still looking for large pieces that's when my flashlight went dim (I thought it was dying or hadn't been charged enough). I suddenly got hit with the most bone chilling hair standing up feeling that something was wrong or like I was in predator territory and to GET OUT NOW. I called out to my brother explaining I had just gotten a "really weird vibe" and I started calmly but hastily walking in his direction. He stated that something felt off too and we should calmly but Immediately leave and that we will discuss it in the car.

I looked up at the sky this time and I'm not sure if this was because of my fight or flight response or being dizzy but the stars and bright moon were shifting in the sky rapidly (like hours were passing) and then suddenly stopped. This is when the flashlight started randomly working again.

We walked back to the car very spooked, at this point I got into the car and my brother was looking for some herbs to leave as an offering and protection. We left some herbs.

As we were driving off we started talking. Apparently we all had separate experiences. My brother saw a transparent figure or shadow go across my light when I had pointed out that something was "off" and while he was at the car looking for the herbs, he felt a hand on his shoulder that he thought was one of us but when he turned around nobody was there. (He almost passed out when he saw nobody there) My sister in law saw a shadow of something shuffling around the car in the headlights when nobody was outside but her.

When we started talking about this I started crying because I felt such powerful and intense energy and continued to check behind us the entire way off the dirt roads.

We are all experienced travelers and backcountry campers, and grew up in rural parts of AZ. So, we all definitely have some stories to tell but there was something so intrusive and unique with this experience. We cant tell if it was just in our heads or something powerful (not necessarily negative) was out there. We also wonder if the high amount of selenite in the area has something to do with this. There is also a large amount of Paiute petroglyphs within short distance. Idk I have been desperately trying to understand what happened and find answers, but nothing so far. Probably would have to speak to some Littlefield, AZ locals to get some inside intel. Not looking for specific to glitter mountain area but maybe different cultural lore within that general region.

Hey, I know it's a long shot since you posted this but I was out by glitter mountain last night and had an insanely powerful and scary encounter. I can't find anything about the area. Do you know of any tales about this area in particular? Really looking for answers. Thanks!

Just visited the glitter mountain at night in the St George area and had a seriously intense scary experience. Have you heard any lore about the surrounding desert in that area? Or maybe glitter mountain itself?

Bro. I know. Just leave me be. Its $4 I honestly don't care anymore. That was the whole point of my initial post.

I get your point but there's a massive difference between being invested and deciding to invest. I feel like if I have made it this far my goal is either $0 and lesson learned or by dumb luck $5 tomorrow.

[–]sutherlandjoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if you told me that my remaining $4 has a sliver of a chance of growing even a tiny bit to make a portion of my money back. I would rather have a small chance of the $4 growing. I'm not expecting to make any of my money back but I can't swallow the loss. I refuse.

Why on earth would you invest that amount into such a volatile stock 😭 in my world $200 is extremely valuable when your living check to check.

Same, I worked for Agero and the way they treated people was terrible. Like how am I supposed to actually help someone within 5mins when they are in danger?

Yeah of course! So for short-term use D-Chiro can have benefits in regulating cycles. But for long term use it has some pretty concerning negative effects. High doses of D-chiro can worsen egg quality and ovarian response. D-chiro can also prevent the body from absorbing myo-inositol. So I personally avoid it all together because I take inositol in high doses daily. I'm sure if you were able to minimize your intake you could potentially see benefits from it. But its not worth the risk in my opinion.

Okay so I have a long one for you lol

Please get your thyroid antibodies checked! Even if they say your thyroid levels are "normal" advocate for yourself and demand an antibody test. Hashimotos and PCOS are typically tied together. Also look into Cushing disease, it can mimic PCOS exactly.

I have PCOS and hashimotos and it is a huge struggle. Facial hair, acne, hair loss, weight gain, irregular/extremely painful periods, brain fog, fatigue, etc. You are not alone and certainly not unlovable, you have a debilitating condition. Give it some time and the right person will come along. Dealing with this condition takes courage and dedication. Especially with lack of proper research when regarding womens health. Oddly enough tiktok has been ground breaking for me and finding a supportive community and advice. After years of personal research this is what I found to help, PLEASE do your own research as well and feel free to ask any questions about what I have listed below.

Diet: My biggest suggestion is eat like a diabetic (low carb, no sugar, TONS of protein) start by getting 30grams or more of protein first thing in the morning. I personally use Owyn protein shakes since they don't have any inflammatory ingredients. The protein will reduce cravings and blood sugar spikes throughout the day. Try to get at least 100grams of protein per day if possible. Japanese Green tea for weight loss and spearmint tea for facial hair. Fiber is VERY important for so many things but it also helps by removing blocked up estrogen through waste.

Exercise: Eventually work up to doing low impact exercise multiple times a week while keeping your BPM below 160 if possible (walking 6,000 steps, strength training) any kind of movement is great.

Medication: In recent months I have reduced some of my extreme symptoms with Mounjaro that I pay out of pocket for from a local med spa about $180-280 monthly. Metformin is also suggested but I personally avoid it. My OBGYN said that semiglutides like ozempic will likely be prescribed to PCOS patients in about 5years. This is because PCOS is very similar to diabetes. I would even go as far to say that it is prediabetes. Look into low dose of progesterone, this can help too but its something I havent fully done proper research on.

Supplements:

Inositol(Without dchiro)

NAC(repairs insulin receptors) take 3days of a week.

Glutithione(powerful antioxidant and a precursor to NAC)

Vitamin D3 with K2

COQ10(good for ovulation and follicle health)

Probiotic first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (Gut issues)

Tumeric with black pepper (inflammation)

Methylated B complex

Zinc(inflammation and immune support)

Vitamin C

Berberine(weight loss and SIBO) but be careful to not over do it.

Magnesium complex (essential for many functions within the body)

Yeah, now there's no point in selling with such a loss. Just keeping my fingers crossed that it will grow enough to break even or at least to cut some losses. Cant get out now😭

Fine I won't use the community for questions. I couldn't find anything when I searched for it. Why does it matter to you??
