every time my period comes around, i bloat so fucking badly??? it’s like i’m this inflamed blown up balloon and eventually it starts deflating and goes down a few days later…

i always get this sharp, dull pain on the lower left side of my stomach alongside this bloating and the fact that i’m noticing this pattern around my period makes me believe it might be something other than ibs?

occasionally i do bloat but not to this extent and it just feels like there’s something tender sitting there the whole time, i am more on the constipated side too but the left side pain that i get is also mirrored on my right side and it’s like a shooting, quick and instant sharp pain that fades away rapidly, i’m being tested currently but i’m so fed up of this shit, i’m active in the gym and move my body a lot, clearly it ain’t keeping the bloating down :(

my fave lip combo rn is lip liner, concealer on the centre as ombré and clear lip gloss on top, it only looks good when u freshly put it on until ur lips become one shade 😭

i HATEEEE how lip gloss makes my lip liner move to the centre, it’s inevitable, are there any replacements for lip gloss or any specific ones i should use? 🩷

i’m asking on behalf of my parents, they’re both on uc and the boiler keeps making weird growling noises whenever we turn the hot tap on so we’ve completely shut the boiler off because it’s starting to sound scary as it keeps getting louder, it also lets off this weird steam and splatters oil (or whatever discharge looking thing it is) on the ceiling, there’s a lot of different info on the internet and i’m not familiar with what steps i should do or take to check for eligibility? WE ARE NOT A COUNCIL PROPERTY!!

if anyone can give me guidance it’ll be great!! i’m not the best with processing mass info, so i’m already overwhelmed at the thought of having to do all this 😭

i think what’s holding me back is that there’s soo much to learn and know and as someone who knows nothing about the road and cars, the legal side of things, i just don’t know where to start, the basics aren’t common knowledge to me :(

i can’t sit still for long nor concentrate and learn new information because i get easily frustrated and irritant, i really want to learn how to drive, it’s so convenient and i would love to just get out the house more, no one ever wants to do anything with me and i would love to just explore beaches and drive myself there for peace of mind, i mainly need it for groceries and running errands, i’m soo done with limiting my food shopping because i can’t carry heavy bags for too long (idk why i’m explaining myself lmao)

my brain is overcomplicating everything about driving, the theory side of things makes me wanna breakdown and cry, it reminds me of how i would struggle with paperwork in school 😭😭

i was outside today and i think i had heat exhaustion?

i was sunbathing and was fine during the time, i got up and went into a nearby grocery store just to cool off and suddenly i started feeling clammy, confusion, my vision wasn’t blurry but my balance was very off and it gave the illusion that my eyesight wasn’t steady, i even felt wobbly physically, i was severely nauseous and could swear i was about to vomit but luckily didn’t :( my ears were muffled and pressure kept going in and out (kinda like being on a plane), it all happened so quick and fast

i stayed under shade and sat down and it was slowly going away, i managed to feel okay but it’s been a few hours since it happened and the pressure i felt on the top of my head is still very stagnant and isn’t improving, my body temp was warm earlier but i had a shower and it doesn’t feel as warm? i was unaware that heat exhaustion can quickly turn into something severe so now it’s playing in my mind that i should get checked even if i’m okay now, i’m so scared of it happening again, it was such a suffocating experience genuinely wtf

there’s currently a heatwave in the UK, i was sitting outside just to soak in some sun, wore a hat, had water with electrolytes in it and still felt these symptoms, idk if it matters but for context my arms, shoulders and chest area were exposed as i was wearing a tank top :’)

i got up to go to the nearest shop and that’s when i had sudden confusion, dizzy spells (which i’m still experiencing, it’s like heavy pressure sitting on top of my head), i felt extremely nauseous like a pregnant lady (i’m not preg lol) and off balance, my vision wasn’t blurry but it almost felt like i wasn’t balanced with walking, i found the nearest area where there was shade and it was a pizza shop with chairs so i sat down and let myself cool down a lil and i eventually stopped feeling the way i did, wth is that and why did that happen, i was super close to asking strangers for help but my social anxiety said to wait it out first 🫩

is this similiar to heat exhaustion/stroke or does it seem more like a low blood pressure issue?

the art of being noticed lmaoo, i was food shopping after the gym and was in 2 minds between picking what chocolate i wanted and i had 2 packs in my hand and was looking at which one had the least calories so that i could make a decision and stop being indecisive like girl just pick one omg 😭

anyway, this cute ass guy with cool ass style pulls up and had apparently saw me trying to choose between the two and he starts a convo with me about it, he was like “i saw u picking between the two, what was it u were looking at and what made u choose the one u picked” so i explained how i was looking at the calories to help me make a decision and then he kinda mansplained calories to me and said not to worry about them LMAO obviously very harmless but he gave me a random fact of the day and i was like ah interesting wow he’s so hot when he does that (in my head) 💀

he caught me at such a dead time like my energy was so dead and i felt like i was barely engaging :/ he was doing all the talking and i was struggling to maintain eye contact (bro was staring into my eyes🧍🏻‍♀️), half of what he was saying was barely being registered in my brain and every time i wanted to speak more or respond i would struggle to put words together like why can’t my brain just communicate clearly? i felt like i was speaking in bullet points 😭 the whole time i was just analysing his mannerisms and social skills because i need that energy with strangers, he had me help him pick what snacks to get and he was curious about what i liked and would’ve picked, we spoke for a while before we got told to make ways to the exit since the store was closing

i’m soo used to men approaching me and wanting my number or socials or even giving compliments so i was kinda expecting it from this guy but he didn’t do any of that, i think his curiosity attracted me a lot cause it was such a random interaction and it caught me off guard lolol, also just him even sparking a convo about watching me being indecisive? usually people just mind their business but i thought it was cute he brought it up, he was good looking and i loved his outfit so i’m kinda meh about him not being curious about staying in contact, kinda humbling, maybe he had a girl idk but yeah i went home and cried about me being awkward asf and not being able to interact with him in the way i would’ve preferred, i legit cannot stop masking, i’m a silly little weirdo and full of whimsy why can’t it just pounce and stop being afraid to perform, i feel like such an alien when i’m outside, nothing feels natural, i can’t even make silly jokes because of the fear of being perceived or saying the wrong thing but people don’t seem to gaf when it comes to doing it to me ughh i want to be just as carefree

i think what mattered most to me was how genuine yet innocent this interaction was, we were just a bunch of strangers discussing calories and snacks, i don’t bump into men like this often or at all and his curiosity towards my behaviour attracted me smmm ugh i love a curious mann 😭 i can’t stop thinking about it and i’m still upset that he didn’t ask to exchange contact details, was it me being awkward that made him feel i was too reserved and not interested?

this is a lot fuck me but i had to get it off my chest
