So I usually read webtoon at night and sometimes I have bad migraines or very little tolerence for white screen. So reading webtoons is out of the equation during those times. There have been some I would read because of less agressive colors such as solo levelling and tears on a withered flower. I dont mind the genre as long as there no gore/horror/ psychological abuse in it. Im just looking for something to read during those moments.

Hi everyone,

Anyone has a good recommendation similar to Sand Chronicles from Hinako Ashihara? The way every character was so well written, had their own feelings, trauma, dreams & the way we see them grow throughout their teens & adulthood got me extremely attached to this manga. I don't think I've ever read anything similar despite reading so many mangas. The closest I can think of is Bokura ga ita but it's still different.

Thank you for your help 🙏

Please can men answer this question:

In ep 8 (Im currently watching ep 8) :

Why did Jo Hoo Jin give up so quickly when Cha Mu Hee came to tell him she doesn't want to try winning his heart anymore? I mean it's obvious she was speaking from insecurity and he noticed she was embarrassed & that she thought he doesn't love her. But instead of reassuring her, he just let her go, instead of clarifying that he doesn't love Ji Suk anymore, he just... didn't try at all & left after confirming he had feelings for her (cha mu hee).

I just don't get it, is it because he felt rejected? Did he feel threatened by her instability (meaning his little safe world is going to crumble because she's so emotional/unpredictable)?

I get that he felt hurt but I thought he would at least comfort her & express himself properly (something he was saying to her : express yourself properly, don't run away).

Im asking men's POV because Im a woman and have a hard time figuring this out.

I have chronic illnesses including mental health (PMDD & adhd) & physical (endometriosis) my mom has a mental illness and she's probably borderline too (my therapist's take). She can be pretty harsh towards me and it used to break me till I started therapy (helped a lot with emotional enmeshment). It hurts me that she often says mean stuff when Im vulnerable/sick. Today I am limping because I hurt my foot yesterday. She really dgaf and is always more concerned about whatever she wants to say rather than listening to me/understand what Im going through.

There's a pattern where (this happens almost everyday) she asks questions and then when I answer she doesnt listen, either walk away or interrupts me or she makes it look like Im the one bothering her, Im someone calm and I dont really speak to her unless she comes to ask whatever or starts talking about whatever she wants and I absolutely HAVE to listen to her or she gets mad. She also gets mad at me for having my own life and says I keep secrets from her... She doesnt get the fact that she broke my trust so many times that I literally dont want to tell her anything. She's the person I feel the most triggered by and whenever I stay silent to not say anything hurtful she gets irritated and tries to control me by giving me pointless orders. Like, do this, do that, you didnt do this yet, go do that.

The thing today was, she came asking me how my appointment went only to interrupt me every single time to say whatever was in her mind till I asked her if she could let me finish then she basically said she didnt want to hear all this she just asked if it went well. She also got mad that I had my sunglasses on..

Then she started to ask me to get up and put my shoes away when I just came home in pain and couldnt walk, had just took my shoes off. That's what she was concerned about. That I put my shoes away because doesnt want to see them. Im literally in pain in front of her.

Today was supposed to be a good day because I have less depressive symptoms and I actually felt like living and doing things this morning. For the first time in months.

She just broke my heart & mental state. I dont work atm and cant move away, till we find the right treatment for my mental health (I have CPTSD too).

I just had a really awful PMDD episode and I know these are depressive thoughts but I cant help but notice how PMDD became my whole identity somehow since it takes so much space during the month. Im scared that Im losing myself in this "not me but still me" darker self who is dealing with bad thoughts and has so many fears.

I think it's linked to my hormones because today I ve been having pelvic cramps throughout the day. Been staying in the dark, cool temperature, even tried those healing frequencies for headache on youtube but I guess it doesnt work very well for me. Idk what to do and I feel so unwell I cant even get up to take some meds. My body also feel weird like cotton.

Just feel like ranting because I was reading a paper and omg there's so many genetic reasons that would explain why someone is dealing with PMDD but none of the doctors are trying to help us with that. They just keep saying to take hormones or psychiatric meds. I mean, I didnt know that zinc supplementation could play a significant improvement in pmdd if I hadnt read that paper. Doctors dont know anything about it do they? I feel like I would prefer staying in a hospital for some time and let them run their tests (blood check, genetic test...) till they find whatever is wrong instead of staying at home in my bed wondering why Im such an incapable human being. At least it would serve the healing process and help others too.

Im so sad and tired.

I have tried mood stabilizer and birth control but Im still experiencing PMDD. SSRIs arent possible for me due to genetic risks. Anyways I just wonder how I can make it a bit more serious because both psych and GP refused saying they dont know how pepcid work for pmdd so they wont prescribe it and it's not used for depressive symptoms.

Im tired.

Im not even sure if Im on the right sub. Recently I've had an awful skin allergy after trying a mood stabilizer. I realised it's not the first time I have skin allergy from meds but this was the worse.

My skin reacts to the sunlight, perfume, mites, wool fat and probably other stuff. I also have allergic reactions to pollen.

I have seen everyone here talking about the way eating certain food gives you histamine issues. Not sure if that concerns me. I have sensitive bowels so the food I eat are usually the ones I tolerate well. I got some throat & skin reactions due to eating melon tho. Huge fan of cheese here I eat some almost everyday. Love chocolate too but I dont eat it that often.

I dont have a specific question. My concerns come from dealing with mental health issues (PMDD, ADHD) that may (or may not) be related to histamin issues, and the fact that I often deal with eczema. I wonder if my mental health issues could be realted to histamin issues.

It keeps happening lately I have my account since 2024 or so and it wasnt like that before. Or at least not everyday. Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks.

I just feel like Im drowning and life cannot get better ever again. Like Im doomed. Also I cant bring myself to do anything except if I really "have" to. It's like life itself left me.

Why is that? My endo is still early stage and Im taking the pill to prevent it to grow. I just dont get it. It doesnt hurt like during periods but it's annoying to feel like Im about to start luteal when it's not the time yet.

I loved Tales of Nokdu , Lovely Runner and Cinderella and the four knights . I want something lighthearted with lots of hilarious & heartwarming moments.

Drama that I loved aside from those:

To the beautiful you

Just between lovers

Come and Hug Me

Extraordinary you

Itaewon class

My ID is gagnam beauty

I can hear your voice (one of the best imo)

City Hunter

Descendant of the Sun

Sungkyunkwan scandal

Snowdrop

A time called you

Love next door

When life gives you tangerines

Coffee Prince

Drama that I disliked :

The Heirs (Im sorry but I cant watch anything with Park Shin Hye after seeing this)

What's wrong with secretary Kim? (Can't stand MMC)

Love in the moonlight, it was cute but FMC was kinda useless

Missing you/I miss you, I liked the beginning but every character was twisted in a way and I hated the final plot twist.

I cant stand drama that are slow or takes too long to get into the story.

There are many drama that I got tired of in the middle or right before the end like W two World or Because this is my first life.

Antihistamine dont work very well to stop this. It isnt painful and is not on my face. Located on my back/belly/arms/legs. Idk what to do about it, been 5 days, when is this gonna stop?

Manufacturer: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)

edit: Okay the dr said it's not normal and I have to stop it. Thanks everyone for your advices.

Before starting birth control I used to have awful metrorrhagia. I would bleed every two week ( so one week without bleeding followed by 6-8 days of bleeding). I never found an answer and my gyn at the time didnt help because "hormones are okay" on the paper.

I was and am still convinced I might have PCOS due to experiencing acne in luteal and having facial hair on my chin. The fact that I had awful PMDD symptoms along it didnt help either. It felt like my whole hormonal system was broken. I also always had a hard time losing weight and at the time I had put on a ton. I lost all the weight but it didnt help with the bleeding. I did intermittent fasting and that was incredibly helpful as it stopped my metrorrhagia completely. That was 4 years ago.

I then learned that I had euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis which means my thyroid is fine but it might become hashimoto. We discussed about if with dr and she said at the time my thyroid might have been going througha period of transient hypothyroidism, and then it got better (lots of walking, dieting, intermittent fasting and it helped with losing weight and stopping the bleeding).

Did any of you go through something similar and it ended up being PCOS? How am I supposed to heal my body if doctors really dont seem to gaf?

I am a big fan of Makoto Shinkai I've seen his movies, I also loved Summer Wars, Maquia, Bakemono no ko, the ghibli movies and Akira. I want to watch something without horror or crimes if possible. I like Akira but not in the mood for someth mike that today. I disliked Perfect blue so none of that either please. Would love it to have some romance/friendship in it too. It can be historical or with war I dont mind. Thanks.

On days like today it's so hard. I showered, tried to pamper myself a little. Spent time with family. Still those giant dark circles and gray skin and overall dead eyes looking at me in the miror makes me feel like shit. Im 30 and I never found someone who actually loved me properly. My ex was an avoidant and it took me everything to break up once I realised he would never really choose me (he wanted to open the relationship only from his side and there were other issues). Despite all this, I still miss him. His little jokes. His smile. The way he was always so gentle with me when I was dealing with PMDD. I feel like my situationship with him was the only times I really felt happiness.

It's been 2 years post breakup and no contact. I am convinced I am broken because nothing in life interests me anymore. My relationship with parents is complicated and it also weight heavily on my mental health. I just feel like life slipped through my fingers when I wasnt watching. The last decade definitely wasnt how I pictured my 20's to be. Meeting people feel like too much because I dont work and cant even have productive hobbies and I feel like a huge POS due to this. I also feel like the last 2 years of staying home took my social skills away.

Im sorry for this gloomy post. I just feel so bad. Im in a lot of pain right now, and inner shame is growing bigger and bigger. It's like my chest is obstructed or something. My PMDD is supposed to be over (periods are over) so idk why. I have just started a mood stabilizer so it may be related to this.

Hello

Après avoir visité le sub r/lamictal j'ai vu que pas mal de personnes se plaignaient de crises de colères et d'agitation durant les deux premières semaines (à 3 premiers mois pour certains).

Je m'inquiète un peu etant donné que je n'avais pas été prévenue de ces effets secondaires et je me demandais si cela concernait uniquement les personnes souffrant de bipolarité ou si ça pouvait toucher des personnes TDAH.

Merci pour votre aide.

I have just started lamictal for emotional dysregulation and depressive symptoms (cptsd, PMDD and adhd). I have read that for some people it triggered an hypomanic state. Does this happens often? I dont have bipolar though I might be on the spectrum given my family genetics and my own symptoms.

I just want to feel reassured that this will not trigger mania for me. Thank you.
