He is 31 and also has schizoaffective disorder with bipolar and takes medication for that, I can't remember the names. He had been sober for about a year and recently relapsed with plans to quit immediately. That of course didn't pan out the way he wanted to (planned it during his high) and he has now been using and hasn't slept a wink in the past 5 days. He isn't eating, only drinking lemonade, and has lost 15 lbs in those 5 days alone. He's about 6'4, 230-240 lbs.

He said he doesn't want to go to rehab because he 'has it under control' but at this point, my concern is more so with the lack of sleep, coupled with the continued substance use. I worry that he's either going to have a complete system shut down or a psychotic break like he has in the past. I have no idea what to do here and feel like a psychotic episode is going to happen inevitably.

I have yet to hear this specifically talk about but when I say bone pain, I mean BONE, pain that comes from your legs, back, arms, shoulder, elbow, that exclusively feels like it's directly from your bone and not muscle or anything related.

It's so excruciating and makes me feel crazy because no position I get into or massage i do makes it go away because of it being the bone. It keeps me up at night if it flares then and I can never know when it's going to flare, it just does. I had my lab this Feb and though and prayed this would go too after but I guess it's here to stay

I had my second lap in Feb of this year and I’m still unable to wear any clothing that rubs against them without them getting hot, irritated, and feeling like I need to scratch them. They're obviously completely healed over and closed so I don't know why it has lasted this long.

My belly button incision is obviously not as affected due to it being inside it but I'll also randomly get sharp pains from it. Anyone else experience this? How long post op did it take for them to calm down? Do you experience sharp stabbing pain randomly from your belly button too?

I feel like i'm gonna insane honestly.

I’m so confused, I’m posting about 4 listings a day and have the boosting shop on as it was dead before it, and I’m somehow still averaging about 40-80 views on items per day. This is in stark contrast to what I used to have before when my views were well into the 1.5k.
What's going on? What am I doing wrong?

For context, I had one done on May 1st and got my period again on June 15th. It has not come again and I’m now technically about 6 days late. Mid cycle, I thought I had ovulated but it turns out I actually ovulated on CD22 (July 6th) so it was later in the cycle than how I usually ovulated in the past. I've taken pregnancy tests and they've all come back negative so I’m just really confused as to what's happening. I've continued testing for ovulation with the Clearblue advanced stick purely because I want to gauge where my estrogen levels are (it tests for that) and for the past week, it's been flashing a smiley face indicating that my estrogen is high. LH is no longer dark on any other strip tests.

Has anyone experienced this before? Could something else be happening?

EDIT: I had a surgical abortion and about a few months before that in Feb, I had a laparoscopy to excise endometriosis (complications followed after this and through the early pregnancy I had).

I’m 6 months post op and feeling the same, if not worse with the fatigue, than before which is saying a whole lot. My pain is less a bit but still struggling with daily pains, and worsening during period. Now my fear is that scar tissue is added to the list and maybe that's why I am feeling new forms of pains I hadn't felt before, like insane uterine pressure and tugging feelings.
Don't have support from my lab surgeon as she handed me off to her invalidating NP after the surgery, and that NP was quick to dismiss all the pain I was having during recovery that turned out to be a POST OP INFECTION. She basically referred me to five other specialists and I ended up canceling my 3 month post op with the lap surgeon because the experience with her NP was so disheartening.
Please tell me I’m not the only one

Im a relatively new seller and still have a couple of items that are boosted for free as part of the new shop boosting promo they did for 7 days. That week is up and the listings that were boosted within that timeframe are still being honored for free hosting. If I choose to boost my shop right now, does anything know if they'll be 'reboosting' those old listings under the 12% fee or will that just boost my items that aren't and leave the free boosted ones alone?

(lol take a shop every time I say boost)

Has anyone had a lap and still struggled with crippling fatigue? I’m about 4 months post up and started microdosing trizeptide to see if it helps with inflammation and pain, and if it feels like it's making it worse if anything.

I’m on vitamin d weekly prescribed, try to take my daily vitamin, and nothing budges. I notice it's more intense when i exert myself the day before. For example, yesterday I was out tanning in the sun for a few hours and today I feel like I've been hit by a semi truck, can barely open my eyes, moving slowly, back pain flaring.

At a loss honestly

I (28F) am honesty feeling pretty hopeless. I know my situation might be exacerbated by an unexpected discovery about 2 months after the lap but this is essentially how my timeline has gone:

• Lap on Feb 3, endo found (DIE, Allen masters, uterosacral, etc.), excised, and diagnosed with adeno as well,
• Incision infection discovered in 2nd week post lap, had to be on antibiotics for about 3 weeks before it cleared
• First period after was a week after surgery and that only last about 3 days assumingely from the surgery & infection throwing my body out of wack , second period came March and pain was still intense but i was in excruciating pain for less days than prior
• Discovered I was pregnant in April (found out because my pain, and symptoms were doubling out of nowhere and I didn't understand why I'd be feeling worse)
• High risk pregnancy so I unfortunately had to have a d&c on May 1
• Got my period back again after 6 weeks, June 15, just as intense and pre surgery but they told me this would also be the case after a D&C

Obviously I have been through a lot this year, lots of pain, grief, complications that have only continued to occur so for my own mental sake, I’m hoping someone tells me that there's a light at the end of the tunnel for me soon. I’m trying to be patient with my healing, especially considering the two procedures back to back, and infection, and complications being pregnant (had a LOT of pain and bleeding in these 7 weeks alone), but it feels like it's getting harder too as we are now just about halfway through the year, and I still feel debilitated by random pains, flare ups, and crazy fatigue. I went into the start of this year excited and hopeful at the prospect of finally getting back the years of life I've lost to worsening endo (took me a failed lap and 9 years later to be diagnosed/found) and so all of this is really soul crushing to me.

This is also brought on by me going for a beach day trip yesterday, my first real, fun thing I've done this year, and being brought to a pain flare up by the end of the day. That has continued into today and I've not felt well at all as a result. Looking for some hope and apologies for the long winded post...

For context, I took her to the vet on Friday as she didn't eat her breakfast or dinner on Thursday. That continued into Friday morning, and she would only occasionally eat her treats. She seems pretty hungry and would go towards her food, have a few bites, and then stop all together. The vet was just as stumped, said the ultrasound showed no bladder issues, and that her teeth didn't look too inflamed. Though, I’m still worried this could be a teeth issue as she has never had a teeth cleaning before and her regular vet said she needs one soon due to some plaque build up she saw. However, the ER vet we took her too reiterated that she doesn't think it's that. I feel like my cat (Winnie) grimaces everytime she take a bite, and before she stopped eating, she had been shaking her head and spewing food out more often. She is still using the bathroom regularly, moving around just fine, and drinking lot of water. No vomitting or diarrhea. She's actually drinking more water lately than she had before, which Im wondering if it's related to what she may be experiencing ?

All of this was promising to the ER vet so she sent us home with just an appetite stimulant to give her for three days. Well, today is day 2 and it has not had any big effect on her. Yesterday (Sat), she ate one whole meal so we thought maybe it'll continue to work, but she hasn't eaten any other meals since. If anything, all this appetite stimulant has done has made her more tired and less active. Just now, I was able to hand feed her a cheru chicken soup because I’m getting really concerned.

We even tried switching out her food to different flavors, also recommended by the vet, to see if it was a matter of preference and maybe picky eating at work, but nothing, no change.
She has never exhibited this behavior before and I’m of course worried about cancer, liver issues due to not eating, etc. The ER vet mentioned something about her pancreas but didn't do any testing for it due to everything but her eating habits being normal. Has anyone experienced this with their cat? What should I do? I’m planning on calling the ER vet again tomorrow to see what they advise at this point, too.

No topic in particular, I've just been having a lot more of sleepless nights since a recent loss so my hormones are still all out of wack.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about writing letters and the lost art of it. I wonder if romance and yearning found its decline around the same time we stopped sending letters to each other.

and biohacking and if it's real and can work with sleeping...

For some reason, it really gets me off to give him head but I’m always left wondering at the end why i did it if he doesn't do the same to me. He has done it maybe twice in 4 years of being together and recently said it makes him uncomfortable to do it on me but doesn't feel that way if I do it for him

For reference, I am 28F and my libido has been high my entire life. The "ebb and flow" people talk about having is different with me in the sense that my drive is never fully gone or at a point low enough that I don't notice it. Prior to getting married, I would masturbate almost every day, sometimes a couple times in a day. This isn't a porn problem as I do not watch it or need to for that matter (not a fan of it personally). My husband (30M) on the other hand is okay with 1-2x a week of having sex. Before you tell me 1-2x times a week is normal, it's not to me considering how high my libido is and I honestly have friends who have expressed that they too would want to be doing it more than just "the average 1-2x a week".

Sometimes I wonder if that 1-2x a week average was founded upon a study group of men's libido alone, and not considering the vast varieties of womens' (not to even to mention the consideration of our cycles and how it can intensify in some weeks). I've only just hit a year of marriage and that alone has built up so much sexual frustration in me that I've started to just become angry and sad towards my husband for not matching me. Honestly speaking, it also slips into how undesired I feel from him and it just makes a mess in my head when I think about it. Of course, rationally, I know it's not his fault, and I could just do it myself everyday without him, but it makes me feel almost disgusting stepping out of the room to go somewhere else and do that. Especially when it's almost every day that I'd be doing that.

So quite frankly, I’m at a point where I just want to inhibit this libido of mine as much as I can, or at least to the point where I don't feel it in the background every single day. It's affecting me emotionally with my husband, and how I view my own sexual self, and I’m tired of having conversations (we've had a handful by now) on how to go around this or tackle it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've felt this before with my periods because of endometriosis and I’m still bleeding from a subchrionic hematoma. Wondering if anyone has ever experienced this? Is there anything to do for relief?

Had excision surgery in Feb for my endo, before i got pregnant
