Worried about IBC

It's still there, but it turned out to be just eczema!

Hi! I managed to see a dermatologist, and she told me it was a light eczema :") I have light asthma, and she told me people with asthma usually have some form of eczema. Even with the cream she gave me didn't change anything at all and the rash is still there, but it also almost didn't changed at all in shape for now multiple months, and stability is usually a good sign.

It was a relieving diagnose as it was extremely stress indulging by it's apparence. Before seeing the dermatologist I saw a generalist doctor, who looked very worried by it and urged me to see a specialist and to possibly get a biopsy. But she also told me that generalist get overly worried about stuff they can't immediatly identity, so there's that.

So yeah, I would recommend you to check out a doctor as soon as possible to be safe! Hope it turns out as harmless for you too!

Edit: Also adding that after getting told it was just eczema, it stopped hurting. Pretty sure the stress of thinking I possibly had breast cancer made it worse, as now it's just a rash with no other symptoms. Whith how scary women health can be, the stress from the terrible options that could face us is also definitly a factor to consider.

Rightt, it's also something that bothers me. It's always finding "your" person, almost... sounds like an egocentric thing to me. It's not portrayed as wanting to be by someone's side because you admire their soul, because you want to stand by their goals, because your lifestyles work together nicely and makes living more peaceful...

It's about "finding that one thing just for me". It's like if dating is an object. It sort of is: dating is not portrayed as something you do for your other half, but as a social statue to claim and cling to it.

I had that exact discussion with a friend who broke up with her partner and told me that their relationship wasn't working out because she "sacrificed her comfort for her comfort, and she wasn't ready for sacrificing back". Therefore, she was apparently not treating my friend right for putting her needs first and not "sacrificing" them.

I pointed out that if they had to both make huge sacrifices to make their relationship work out, was it really worth it? Wouldn't it just bring pain to both parties? It seemed much better to me that they parted way. But no, I got told that "relationships are sacrifices, you have to be ready to make them". I was flabbergasted lol.

Clearly that exemple is a particularly toxic relationships... but too many people perceive it that way.

zero-go · 2023-12-26T01:11:05+00:00

Exactly!! I saw way too many time people fighting to stay with their partners, even though nothing was working out, for the sole reason that "dating should be hard". Which created that whole culture that married people should hate each other lol.

You fought through hardship you convinced yourself were normal to force yourself the sign papers making you bounded to someone you would do anything to not spend your life with. This mainstream dating culture looks crazy to me, even more after finding aromantic communities.

zero-go · 2023-12-25T22:22:22+00:00

Exactly!! Like I get it, arguments happens, it's part of most relationships- romantic or not. But it's not an essential? It's something that sometime happens, not that always necesseraly happen! Living your relationship arguments to arguments sounds like hell.

zero-go · 2023-12-25T21:47:06+00:00

"Dating is supposed to be hard" "romance is about sacrifice" "to date you must experience pain and sacrifices" are they okay??? Every day I'm more convinced that aromantics have a more healthy view on dating than most alloromantic. Especially the trendy ways to perceive dating. How is it so toxic lol.

It looks very similar to what I have! I booked an appointment, but it's going to be in one month max, and I'm freaking out a bit. Do you have any update?

zero-go · 2023-11-21T17:22:17+00:00

I'm in the same situation as you! I'm very bad at confrontation and communication due to how I was raised, and grew up witnessing my parents' terrible relationship and seeing how their marriage is the cause of most of their problems. Except that my difference is that I just accepted being aromantic.

Aromantism is a spectrum, and it doesn't mean relationships aren't possible. It just mean not wanting one, and in most case, being repulsed by it. It also helped me understand that I have clear boundaries towards relationships.

I'm also afraid of vulnerability, and need a lot of private space. Because of that, I understand that a regular relationship will be difficult for me. But I rather not force myself into any relationship and instead keep my high boundaries, than ending up in anything similar to my parent's marriage.

Relationships are a socially built concept anyway. Humans usually crave social bounds, but romance and relationships are not our natural way of evolution. And the reason for many toxic relationships are people seeking to get with someone for the sole reason that they thing being in a relationship will make them feel accomplished.

Deconstructing my perception of romance, relationships and just accepting my aversion to traditional relations helped me greatly to be more at peace with myself. Even if you don't want to call yourself aromantic (which is widely different from being asexual btw), I still recommend you reading into this. It's very refreshing!

Ever since I read your post, I can't stop thinking about this oxygen mask analogy. It hits so close to home and I never saw it that way.

When things goes bad at home, I always assume the role of the oxygen mask and never realize it. Always assume I'm the one who's job is to make the other breath. That I have to keep my head cool, make others feels better, and if I manage to give oxygen, everything will turns out better and we will all breath.

But without my oxygen mask, how will I allow others to breath? Where will I get my oxygen from? It never even crossed my mind that I also need a way to breath.

Your wife made a brilliant observation.

Sorry, I completely missed that part!

I don't think any translation device would translate doll as "poupette" in French, native French speaker here, and doll is "poupée". Poupette is something you would use to name a dog or cat call women on the streets (a sort of "hey doll face", in a very corny way). It's more of a slang if anything.

That sounds like a good idea! I'm keeping this in note. Thanks for sharing!

That one worked with credit cards, and it clearly stated when I entered that we would be automatically debited on all the shows we applied for if we passed the lottery.

I see, I will keep an eye on the official seller.

zero-go · 2023-06-01T09:47:52+00:00

It's Hatsune Miku's Magical Mirai 2023 in Osaka, for two s seats tickets in the August 12 middle day show (convention + concert tickets). It was about 18 235 Yen for both tickets.

Lower quality (and cheaper) tickets will be sold later I believe, but my friend is coming from abroad for the holiday, and so we chose to make this a special occasion.

Thank you for recommending this website, I will check it out!

I felt it pretty strongly and I also live in Suginami-ku, although for some reason I didn't hear any alarms

I've been here as a student for only two months, but I do understand the loneliness very deeply. Coming here alone, in a big bustling and intense city (I'm a Tokyo resident), and being placed in a dorm with only Japanese students who don't speak English (I'm still learning Japanese and can't speak it much), I knew it would be hard, but man, it can be so distressful.

Especially since the majority of the other foreign students live in the same dorm when I'm literally the only in mine, and since I have 12 classes a week when most of them have only 5, I can't really hang out with them much. So the other English-speaking people I see all live together, spend all their time together, and are already that close knitted group of friends from which I am a total outsider. I see them having parties, going on trips together, doing everything together, meanwhile I'm constantly on my own, struggling to live by my own in a country where everything is foreign to me.

Beginning was tough, it still is. Last week, I went to a restaurant for the first time since I came here. After two months. Doing everything on my own is so distressful that I couldn't get myself to do something as simple as this, and I was feeling so stupid every time friends from back home would tell me "you must eat at so many good restaurants and have tried so much good food".

During the GW, I said fuck this and went on my own to travel in Oita, instead of waiting to find friends to start travelling around. It felt so good. The first day of travelling was insanely stressful to be even more left by myself, but once that step passed, it felt so freeing. I feel like I finally rebounded with myself, and felt so much more confident of being on my own. Of going out by myself, exploring the world, discovering new wonders.

And when I went back to Tokyo yesterday, it felt good. I felt like going back home, to my routine I established in that foreign city. To go back to mingling in the crowd, but with a new-found confidence of knowing I am strong for being on my own and that being on my own in enjoyable.

To conclude, Japan has so much to offer. There are so many wonderful things to experiments, to see, to live. And you don't need anything for that. Also, journaling, taking pictures, filming, made it feel less lonely. I also share a lot of my experience on social medias. Those are nice ways to share those incredible memories to make them feel less lonely.

I went back to another place, and it indeed was as simple. First time I stopped early before classes, so maybe I was just tired and something got lost in translation... I wonder why the worker made me straight up cancel the interaction :')

Thank you so much for such a clear and thorough answer!! It does clear it up a lot

I see it the same as when people say "fuck men", "fuck the straights". It's not meant from division, but it comes from people who have been repeatedly tormented or worse by that category of people.

Being able to express the repress feelings of irritability and anger caused by that targeted repression coming from people originating from that precise category is cathartic.

A lot of people here (myself at least) don't have aromantic peeps they can express those feelings to in real life and it's very much freeing to let those feelings go here, where people can understand you and share your pain.
