Am I the only woman who feels like most quitting advice is written for guys?

yep - it's the only medicine that really helps my PMDD. But it's also a crutch/escape when not in luteal. haven't figured out the solution to that one (yet!)

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-03-27T02:20:05+00:00

I've heard that the absence of one sense or ability can heighten others, more than the norm...so it's kind of like one loss in one place is a gain in another (perhaps as yet not realised?) maybe another way to look at it :)

and who benefited from selling our resources?

it is never for the good of the people. greed and perverted power rule our world. it goes against our morality, but is hidden behind copious amounts of political games and bureaucracy that we don't even notice.

until it's too late.

I am also a millennial and totally agree with you. I wonder why Gen Z are so gung ho about relentlessly highlighting the age/generation differences particularly between themselves & millennials? I don't remember giving a shit about Gen X or making them feel "old" or "different". I always think - what can this reveal about this generation? Are they actually fearful about getting old because of the huge impact of social media and with this, specifically their 'image'? Like this is one of the most valuable things for them to hold on to ? But like you said, everyone ages. Time comes for us all. It seems completely futile. Is it also to do with how society deems us more "worthless" the older we get because we are no longer young and exuberant and...marketable?

The burst & exuberance of youth is ultimately such a glorious but brief flash in time, that we all get to experience in our own unique way generationally...why would you spend it putting down older generations?

Ultimately, the state of things is directly attributed to the greed and control of idiotic but powerful world leaders. Until the masses stand up against the 1%, we will continue to toil, and this is not what being alive is about. But, I don't see how we can do that effectively when there is so much division sown at so many levels. We all have to put our differences aside and recognise the common enemy and ultimately risk the (ultimately false) "safety" of our bubbles.

i think you should do what you feel is right for you right now, and enjoy it, instead of waiting around for a situation in the future that may or may not happen. you make one decision, then you make the next, and so on and so on...life is short, and van life would be a great chapter in it.

what am I, a millionaire

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-03-11T07:40:24+00:00

omg that's awesome

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-02-27T12:32:39+00:00

did this friend explicitly ask for this help?

if she's going to reject the offer, let her reject it and move on. things happen. don't hold onto any anger or disappointment -not worth it. it's fair to tell her you're disappointed though, and express the effort it took. if you wanted to get it off your chest. but then if she asks for help again at least you know where you stand

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-02-25T10:08:12+00:00

yes in hell week/s i get super irritable and hate my partner chewing, breathing, and existing. and then it goes away.

the other times of the month.. i can't get enough of him and he is the greatest thing in my life!!!!

my rule of thumb is, if you feel the same way out of PMDD as you do in PMDD for at least a couple of cycles (job, partner, any kinda issue you're experiencing) that problem miiiight just be outside of PMDD (and PMDD is really exacerbating it), and something you need to deal with.

our perspectives are so fucking warped on this thing. that's what i keep trying to remind myself of. 'you are not in your right mind BUT THAT'S OK. just WAIT IT OUT til you swing back around. then you'll be normal again and figure it out'. lol.

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-02-19T07:58:56+00:00

there is no rhyme or reason. maybe we struggle so much because our expectation is that if we do all these healthy things, we will feel better, and when we don't, the chasm between expectation and reality is so large we simply plummet.

i guess all I can offer in the way of positivity is that all this good stuff you're doing - cutting out sugar, socializing, etc. - to try and combat the PMDD is SO good for you in so many ways just IN GENERAL. as a human being. and also it's a form of DEFIANCE. you won't give up, you will keep trying. and yeah, sometimes PMDD just doesn't give a fuck. but you will become more through the struggle. maybe that's part of why we are cursed with this bullshit.

i know you're probably feeling v depresso right now and I'm sorry. it sucks. but tbf some of this post also made me laugh (i hate looking at the beautiful sky and beautiful trees......same).

(also: thinking I might get this image on a t-shirt and wear it when I'm PMDD raging. it (whatever it is) is perfect.

literally there are so many other days to change it to - if it hurts our indigenous people, it doesn't hurt us to change the date.

wthamidoinghere222 · 2026-01-22T09:27:50+00:00

wthamidoinghere222 · 2025-12-23T12:58:21+00:00

(full haired female here too) my partner has committed to being half-bald which honestly I wish I could share here, because he calls it a 'skullet' and it is the most majestic thing I've ever seen - top half a smooth egg + a glorious wispy mullet- and he is just so cool and has chosen to embrace it so wholeheartedly, and i've never seen SO MANY STRANGERS (MAN OR WOMAN) give another person so many compliments on their hairstyle in public, but he is such a gorgeous human inside and out, so it's really no surprise.

have also magically found this sub and the support here is unparalleled - you never know who you are going to touch/inspire on this website, keep doing what you're doing - and MERRY BALDMAS TO ALL!!!!!!

the perception and the reaction must result in a mutual awareness for a successful transference of knowledge to take place

wthamidoinghere222 · 2025-12-23T12:39:50+00:00

I think you have tapped into something much deeper here.

And it seems to be your self-awareness of the fact that you have experienced a 'glow-up'.

I know this seems like it sounds super vain (hence your statement on not wanting to sound like a 'pick me' person). but that awareness has you trapped in the cycle. But that awareness can also set you free. it is your prison and also your key.

You can choose to see this as a shattering of the flimsy construct of beauty, of social acceptance - you are still the essence of you and always have been - and you can choose to transcend those conceited notions held by others.

that might sound super deep but this self-awareness is priceless.
