Has this been helpful for anyone?

I never wanted to be miss America but I wanted some men to at least find me attractive enough to ask on dates, maybe one day get married, want to have children with me. I’m hurting so bad right now and very frustrated that it doesn’t seem to matter what I do- I can’t change how I look. Sure I can remove my facial hair. Sure I can wear a wig or a hat. But that won’t make my beer belly go away. It won’t make my face less swollen or look more feminine. Even when I was very thin, I still was never pretty or feminine enough for a guy to want much to do with me- not my like my peers who have feminine hips or bodies. I just feel like dirt today*

*I know male attention and romantic relationships are not everything. And I have done restrictive diets, exercise (used to be a dancer), spirolactone, birth control, Ovasitol, and others I can’t think of right now. I just want to vent about how worn down I am

Hit about 18 hours after the infusion ended. Nothing life threatening, but I do have nausea and diarrhea (not severe but when I do go, it’s basically like water consistency). No vomiting. Which iron should I ask for next time that is less likely to do this? I can’t remember what they have me- I’m waiting for a call back from my doc. But wondering if you guys know which kind is less likely to do this.

As we know, Benadryl makes RLS much worse for most RLS patients. I recently experienced a mild allergic reaction to some meds I was taking for something unrelated. Thankfully the reaction was mild and stopping the meds is all it took for it to go away. But it got me wondering what alternatives there are to Benadryl if we need it?

School lunch and breakfast is now free in my state, which I’m thrilled to hear. But apparently private and religious schools don’t qualify. I understand that’s how it works with the government funding, but I’m wondering if there are any other kids in these schools who were like me- not getting consistent lunch or money for lunch.

My dad was the worst and for a large portion of my 6th grade and senior years would send me to school without a lunch or money for lunch. He sent me to a private Christian elementary and a catholic high school. Which I think made it easier to hide his neglect. In Christian elementary school, our lunches were provided by a local business and the owner, who was also the one handing out the food to everyone, would still let me eat thankfully, but would tell me “PLEASE tell your dad he needs to pay his bill.”

My senior year, when my dad started to stop buying groceries all together (no way for me to buy my own back then) and wouldn’t give me money for lunch, I relied on friends but was afraid to tell them or other adults the deal. I didn’t fully understand what he was happening, anyway. And I was afraid of what would happen to me, and sometimes my friends had different lunch periods or whatever so sometimes I didn’t eat. I’d go into an empty building bathroom and stay there during lunch.

Anyone else? I never thought it would be this bad. I’ve been UNDERweight, “average”, and now obese. The hair growth on my face is extreme (I pluck it which is excruciating but shaving gives me rashes and ingrown hair) and the hair loss on my head is terrible. I’ve lost over half my hair. I’ve tried many PCOS treatments, so, know that it’s not like I haven’t tried anything. I try and get my mail when it’s very late at night or early in the morning when I know less people are around

All the tests I’m looking at say “must be done in the morning.” Do they mean after waking? Or the morning in general? What if the AM is my “night time?” Sometimes I wake up at 6am and other times I wake up at 11 AT NIGHT and all times in between. I have a neuro syndrome that affects my sleep so sometimes I have weird patterns like this that I can’t change.

I have Medicaid and it’s been difficult for me to convince my doc to refer me to an endo or to even order basic tests like iron lol. My state allows me to order my own tests. What should I order?

I’m curious how it’s set up including the entrances to the stage as well. That kind of stuff always interests me. Like how they pop up- it seems almost underground. Are there any videos of the backstage area? It seems pretty big from the short clips they’ve shown. PS it would be so cool if they released a behind the scenes concert video like they did back in the day

I know there are places you can go and smash things, but there aren’t any around me and tbh I don’t want to do it in front of anyone (or where cameras are). Wondering what would be a similar action for release?

Ever since I moved in, I felt it was a mistake to be here. It’s a very safe area but I became obsessed with the possibility of someone breaking in the front door.

My cat also sits and stares about 10 feet from the front door, watching it, expecting something/someone to walk in. Not like oh he just wants to go outside. But like, he is standing far enough away to see what happens. I sometimes hear what sounds like people stomping up the stairs on their way to my front door. I check my cameras and no one is there. I have visions of men in uniform stomping up the stairs.

Well recently I went to a psychic medium (not for this). I didn’t mention my house or any of this. During the session she says unprompted “What’s up with your apartment?” I was like “What do you mean?” She says, “Someone was kidnapped from there.” She went on to say 2 men broke in and kidnapped the woman who lived here around 1998 and sold her into trafficking. I almost fell out of my chair because ever since I moved here, I have been fixated on learning about that and how we can help victims etc. I’m not sure why I envisioned men in uniform. Maybe they were police or military or something together. But they obviously knew how to break in and take someone.

Anyway, this psychic asked if the activity got worse around December 2025 because she believes that’s when this woman died. And it did. That’s when things started going wrong even more and I honestly never wanted to come home because I felt a dark cloud over this place even more.

Also, everything goes wrong with this apartment, particularly under the bathroom sink. My maintenance guy thinks I’m breaking things myself. The pipe comes out of the wall at least once a month and floods the bathroom when the sink is running (obviously I try to catch it before then). I’ve been trying to find a new place but nothing has come up yet.

Thanks I just needed somewhere to share this. My friends think I’m just “anxious”

I would have thought it would have been “Fought.” Or wait is he saying “Tuck?” 😂 Maybe it’s “tuck!”

Apparently that was too extreme? We all know voting works perfectly well in the u.s. and if only we all voted for the exact “correct” thing, all social problems would go away 🫠 /s Of course voting is important blah blah. Apparently anything else is inciting violence or something

I love seeing all the funny and clever signs people come up with. Which funny or clever ones have you seen in person or on social media? From sphere or any past concert!

Not necessarily during reiki, but I’m asking here because yall understand energy so well. What could be causing sudden unexplained rage? And no hormone issues here.

It’s illegal to be a driver without seatbelt in Arizona. Why do they do this?
