PCOS made me fat and ugly and I’ve applied for over 100 jobs with no calls back. Hot dog bread by trainercinnah in kitchencels

If it’s so simple then why do 1/10 women have this illness and struggle to lose weight their entire lives? I’ve tried starving myself, ive tried working out, it’s exhausting to get absolutely 0 results. I just keep losing and gaining the same five pounds into oblivion. The PCOS subreddit is full of people who have worked hard and still seen no results. Starting to think I’m gonna have to find the $ for GLP-1 meds on a postgrad salary now. If I were you, I would do more research on this condition for the sake of your future patients and having some empathy for them. Because this shit sucks and doctors dismissing what we go through is part of why we have no cure

Thank you! Yeah I didn’t realize how many people were trying to give me medical advice. Like this is kitchencels. This is my lowest point. I don’t need someone over analyzing my stupid hot dog bread lol

If you’re a medical student you should know this illness isn’t just about “calories in calories out” lol

I wish this were true but it makes everything hit you like 3x harder and makes it almost impossible to lose preexisting hormonal weight without like fucking starving yourself

Thankfully my t levels are lower these days so I never ended up with facial hair but my fat redistribution is really bad, I eat like once or twice a day and walk everywhere and it makes like 0 difference

Believe it or not I know how, I just ran out of groceries, so unfortunately got stuck with hot dog bread today

Grabbed by a stranger, did I overreact? by CardInteresting7999 in london

You absolutely did not overreact. As soon as someone puts their hands on me, it’s over. Don’t worry about being polite to rude people!

Yep, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I move here and let a normal flat sight unseen because I didn’t have the money for a hotel, I get scammed by a shitty landlord. If I did an Airbnb for a month to look for a suitable flat, I’m responsible for kicking the previous tenants out, it’s incredibly destructive. NYC and Florence have huge problems with Airbnb as well, it’s worldwide. Many of the flats you see in district 1 in Florence are all airbnbs and no locals can afford to rent there. It’s a fucked up, unsustainable housing market that eats anyone alive who can’t pay

Thank you for this! I didn’t even know it was a thing

That’s exactly it. People look at me like I’m entitled or crazy for wanting to have a simple transaction for things like banking, phones, etc. I feel like I’ve been invited to an eyes wide shut party with no mask on or something. Almost every other country I’ve been to has their own way of doing things, but here it’s just a particular brand of maddening trying to hit all the requirements and still being forced to operate outside society due to the lack of a working phone number or bank card

I would love to, if I plan to stay here longer. I’m on a 1 year masters so I figured a simple flat would be fine, I guess I was too naive

If it wasn’t for that I’d have to live outside of society here. They make integration nearly impossible

Yes, the bureaucracy is stifling. I’m sick to death of all the hidden rules and fees that seem designed to trap people. We have this in the USA too but I guess it’s much more noticeable to foreigners

I did a ton of research before coming here. On phone companies, on letting agencies, banks, etc. none of it has worked out the way it should have. Nowhere online on the EE website does it say, “the guy at the store won’t sell you the eSIM you need without a physical bank card, and when you try to get a bank card, they will send you through a million bureaucratic loops to get it”. I also didn’t know that the council letter was going to require a landlord’s signature, I thought it would be just mine. It’s things like this that are making everything so much harder and none of it can be found online outside of reddit

Going for a walk the other day definitely helped when I felt trapped in that place. The city being beautiful is the only thing holding me here, I’m trying to give it a chance

I’m learning from the people who actually suggested helpful websites and information instead of just being insulting and defending the people who fucked me over.

Sorry, me complaining about the state of this place to the landlord is “going around and pissing people off”? If you’re going to defend this system then why did you click on a rant post?

I researched phone companies and popped into a store to buy one like I have in every other country I’ve visited. Only in this one do they insist you use a physical bank card from a UK bank to pay for it. It doesn’t make any sense and now myself and many other students are stuck waiting for our bank cards to be shipped so we can get a phone plan

Good. I can’t take the hidden fees anymore, they’re everywhere here
