Small but mine

Small but mine

I found kpop from T.O.P in squid game. I heard about his story coming back from a suicide attempt and it inspired me as someone who has attempted twice. He gave me the strength to stop trying. I have had many months of remission of my depression and I think finding him and kpop in general has helped tremendously. Seeing him come back and go back in the spotlight was so brave.

He is my ult of course and I also love Gdragon, 1verse, ALL’N, and Ateez.

I am flying across the country to see bigbang and I am so excited!

I hate having sex

Im in a sexless marriage. We have sex MAYBE once a month. And i only put up with it to appease him because men have needs and our relationship has suffered as a result of vaginismus. I told him we could have sex tonight. Ive taken my muscle relaxers and I get botox in my pelvic floor every 3 months. Even then, it hurts. I get no pleasure. I have no real sex drive. I have fantasies and imagine how good it would feel but I've never actually felt it.

I just lie there like a dead fish and hope he cums fast.

I feel broken and that itll never get better

Teen Starting HS Wants to Stop Masking

I need some advice/tips/ideas! My teen is starting high school in the fall. They've asked if they can stop wearing a mask.

The reasons given are:

-it's awkward and uncomfortable

-it causes acne

-it's sweaty and awful during the summer months (school goes to late June)

-randos give them looks

-kids keep asking why kid is still masking

-kid says they have a strong immune system.

-they're willing to do it when they're sick to keep others from getting sick

-they'll do it, no problem, if "there's another pandemic" 🙃

I could really use some ideas for strategies for approaching this conversation further! I don't want them to stop wearing a mask at school or other indoor or crowded places. This year there will be school overnights for the first time, too.

Some things I'm considering:

-having them meet with my friend who has long covid and me/cfs to see what their daily life is like

-getting more explicit talking about the end of their grandparent's life (me/cfs caused by epstein barr which led to su*c*de)

-having them watch videos or read articles about how the govt decided to "end the pandemic" which wasn't really the end and discuss

-trying to find some other area teens who still mask

-having them watch videos/read articles about how covid works in the body and about how the many varieties of long covid and other post-viral infections work

In terms of compromises I've already made (the first is not about being CC, but still a big one): I've already given in on agreeing they can get a phone for HS since everyone else has one and am far more lenient with mask enforcement of friends at our home than I'd like.

Please help! I am not a terribly persuasive speaker and have a hard time explaining to others the patterns and conclusions that are very obvious to me with evidence but not to others.
