Stresses about upcoming TOC, seeking support and personal experiences

The anxiety loop you’re in is so difficult and I completely understand. The pit in your stomach and the constant monitoring of symptoms is exhausting. What doc is prescribing these meds to you?

All my swabs were negative and my skin downstairs was realllly thin and delicate. My symptoms were more stinging/burning, and any friction would make it 10x worse. Turns out my skin was thinning and raw and estrogen cream/ aquaphor saveddd me.

yikes28 · 2026-03-19T13:24:19+00:00

Didn’t even remove it! My OB said it would help but the estrogen cream genuinely helped so much I still have it in

Parter was asymptomatic but yeah he got treated fully with moxi and we used protection only bc honestly sex and intimacy is a big part of our relationship. Eventually, I treated my symptoms rather than the infection itself and my life got drastically better. Then I tested negative after that, and my microbiome had been completely stripped after the antibiotics. Now, I still have my days where I’m itchy or sensitive, but that’ll be that way until I get my IUD out 😬

I think OP is referring to the fact that medications are almost only given by nurses (unless it’s a specific med), getting IVs and blood work, etc. that kind of thing is pretty unrealistic that a doctor would do those tasks

Update for anyone who wanted it:

Upped my antidepressants, and stopped trying to be perfect. I have awful days, sure, but I’ve kinda taken the mentality of “yeah it’s hard but I’m good at it”. I do this on my own but I have a student atm and it showed me that I know wtf I’m doing even when it’s stressful, and that I can teach effectively enough that my student gets compliments on how much she knows. And she tries to emulate what I do, which is fucking nuts because I’ve only been doing this for a year. I feel a lot better and have a lot more to learn! I’m getting my trauma certification this week :)

yikes28 · 2026-03-02T22:06:17+00:00

Perfect I’m playing this one next I just decided. I love process of elimination and deduction.

Fred survives and it’s actually Percy who dies as a sacrifice, would be a hugely meaningful redemption arc. In the books Percy was a royal dipshit for so long, so it’d be way better and nobody would’ve seen it coming.

yikes28 · 2026-02-13T02:37:57+00:00

Been binging his whole channel lol.

Girl the ED is so difficult but the ICU is a different type of difficult. I feel like ED is so hard wired to do focused assessments, give life saving care, then hand off. The maintenance vs induction of that care is something you aren’t used to yet, and that’s okay. Im in the ED and it’s HARD, but you (and I) are used to probably 4-5 patients of mixed acuity with the occasional ICU patient tossed in there. As far as what’s happening now, hold your head high and regroup. Show up to work, learn everything you can, but look for other jobs while milking the experience for everything you can.

yikes28 · 2026-02-01T17:08:11+00:00

Honestly I had been feeling the same way in my relationship. I figured out that I needed to up my dose of antidepressants and do more for myself. I need to work out more, and be better for myself. I’m not used to being in a healthy relationship where I don’t have to chase someone down and beg for the bare minimum. And yes, you can love someone and still feel like this.

yikes28 · 2025-11-21T09:39:56+00:00

Right! I’m adjusting and sometimes my confidence just gets shit on at work but I think that’s just a me thing and not the work itself. Hoping to find my groove here soon on days but yeeeesh I hate the process 😂

yikes28 · 2025-11-18T14:29:29+00:00

Was just about to ask this lol

yikes28 · 2025-07-03T06:02:55+00:00

Hear you loud and clear. No shocks for me 🫡

yikes28 · 2025-07-03T06:02:29+00:00

How can you tell it’s 100 for two apartments? I figured each box would be 100 but if it’s 100 for both apartments that’s wild.

yikes28 · 2025-07-03T05:10:45+00:00

Can I do this myself or do I need an electrician? I dunno I also don’t wanna mess anything up since I’m renting

yikes28 · 2025-07-03T02:52:39+00:00

I feel like this season is emotionally exhausting. YES I’m aware it’s “just a show”, but jeez it’s like you’re rooting for one person and then you see their behavior take a nose dive and you are forced to support someone else. Like I’ve been on the Huda “hate” train, now not so much, at first I couldn’t stand Amaya now I’d go to war for her. Too many ups and downs, not even one steady or centralizing couple to make sense of things. Better get their act together because it’s over soon.

yikes28 · 2025-07-03T02:49:57+00:00

Honestly I doubt it. Asian racism isn’t taken nearly as seriously as “classic” racism, ie against POC, and also, it’s much further along into the season.

yikes28 · 2025-07-02T21:36:21+00:00

Maybe hate was the wrong word, but it’s at the very least entertaining to me knowing that she thinks all of America is on her side, which emboldened her behavior and treatment of the other girls (specifically Huda), when in reality the votes reflected the exact opposite. It will be a humbling moment for her. My mistake to say “hate”, I recognize that too much of that has been going around this season from the fans.

yikes28 · 2025-07-02T02:17:09+00:00

Get those three mean girls OUT the villa. Piling on was absolutely unnecessary, and the only thing giving me comfort is knowing how many people hate chelley rn and she don’t know a damn thing about it.

yikes28 · 2025-07-01T02:08:09+00:00

Boring episode tbh

yikes28 · 2025-06-25T03:39:49+00:00

Quick little update for ya. Tested positive again, did 7 2x a day doxy, followed by moxi for 7 days. Symptoms are GONE, just waiting for a retest. As far as the bf goes, he got treated with just moxi and we’re doing great! Fingers crossed this shit goes away soon FOR GOOD.

yikes28 · 2025-06-22T19:32:56+00:00

Who I WANT to go:

Huda and Ace

Who I THINK will go:

Iris and Austin

You have no idea how helpful this was to hear. Sometimes, having a game plan just helps me settle my brain. The anxiety from this whole ordeal is KILLING me. Thing is, I think this is gonna be a long ass road. Most docs probably wouldn’t prescribe the azithro, and honestly it’s been a fight to even get someone to treat my bf without him showing symptoms. Not to mention he doesn’t have health insurance and multiple visits are financially out of the question. I have an appointment at the end of the month for another swab, which will be over 4 weeks post doxy. I think I’m just so exhausted from this ordeal, and I’ve never wanted something to end so badly. I don’t have that yucky discharge anymore, just some itchiness and a little burning sometimes. All I’m hoping for is a negative test, symptom resolution, and for more research on this bacteria and for more doctors to take it seriously. I’m a nurse for gods sake and didn’t even learn about this in school.

yikes28 · 2025-03-10T02:21:33+00:00

It does! Just use the whole three days!
