I’ve been on the birth control patch to stop my periods and there’s times where it just randomly fails. I’ve been heavy bleeding for two weeks, stuck in the house in adult diapers. I want to go out to the beach and such without having to wear uncomfortable pads, diapers, or period underwear since it’s very hot. I’m prone to yeast infections after I have month long periods like this. I’ve found boric acid to be some help.

Unfortunately I have a very tight pelvic floor/ mild vaginismus that makes tampons difficult for me to use due to discomfort. I can usually only insert a tampon successfully if I’m drunk, very sleepy, (aroused) taking certain medications, or a combination of these. I do have some muscle relaxants, gabapentin, and valium to take as needed. But these would make me quite sedated during the day. I’ve learned to live with discomfort so the tampon thing is just annoying for me because of my pelvic floor dysfunction. There are times where I can relax and get the tampon fully in- but then i’ll end up tensing my muscles, especially when eating because it makes my endo pain flare horribly, and i’ll end up pushing out the tampon without realizing. This even happens with mild anxiety.

Does anyone have any recommendations, like exercises or things I can use other than tampons (i’ve heard of the diva cup) that could help me be able to go out with less issues? Are you guys on certain pain medications during the day? Mine are only prescribed so i’m able to sleep at night and not wake up in discomfort. I’m also only able to comfortably eat at night after I take the medications.

So far I’ve tried using regular tampons with a liner underneath, then going to the bathroom to push it further in if I accidentally push it out. I could also wear a dress/ skirt with thin period underwear underneath but I’m not sure what to do for when I want to go to the beach though. I find being outside really helps with my anxiety and pain and I want to be able to feel comfortable in my body and enjoy my days. It’s 90 degrees for me and pads/ period underwear feel a bit gross. Thank you for any advice!

This is going to be quite TMI. I was previously in a domestic violence situation where my partner was particularly aggressive over my social media presence. Why I think it’s that serious- They told me the reason they sexually assaulted me and recorded it, was because I had a snapchat public profile where I posted photos of myself. Nothing explicit. He was also active on social media and followed women doing the same thing- which is why I didn’t remove my profiles.

Since then I have reported him to the police, warned other women about his behavior, and moved on. I have had other online stalkers- so I do believe it could also not be him, and that the social media presence excuse is just made up bs to defend his behavior. Although what he said is still difficult to ignore.

(Outside of my personal business now and what’s actually going on with my accounts), I am adding one person I think I trust on my new snapchat accounts, on a new phone. I have tried vpns. Using burner numbers. Different emails, etc but something extremely strange is still going on.

Shortly after adding one person, and setting up my profile as it was I begin receiving an influx of adds. I’m not sure if this is typical find friends behavior but I’m leaning towards no. I add all women from my quickadd- but somehow I get 800 adds of all men within a single day. Countless screenshots of my profile, sexually harassing me under all the stories I post, rape threats, some adding me by username. I wake up to my account locked for “online commercial sex transactions”. I have never had an onlyfans, nor does anything on my account point to that.

I post like any other girl I have ever seen on snapchat before. Photos in my favorite clothes, selfies, hobbies, a bikini pic, my favorite places outdoors. I have seen people posting telegrams that have insane amounts of sexual content- and those profile stay up for years. I have reported the sexual harassment in snapchat and their accounts stay up, even though they’re threatening to rape me, or telling me to kill myself.

I have never felt this uneasy and angry before. My old accounts were completely fine and safe before this. I wanted snapchat for the memories and snapping my regular friends. What the hell could possibly be causing this? Is really just the shitty automatic AI banning the wrong accounts, or is there definitely something greater going on? Any one who has been through something like this or can refer somewhere I can actually get to the bottom of this please help.

So I’ve been on this a few months while slowly replacing some other meds that weren’t working. I’ve just noticed that for quite a while now my libido has been non existent. I don’t know if it’s due to other factors like my anxiety/ trauma I haven’t worked through or the medication. For context I’m on 10mg. Thanks for any advice </3

Location: New York City. I’m a disabled adult. I previously signed a HIPAA release allowing my mother to speak with my doctors. However, I now believe she is interfering with my medical care. She has given doctors inaccurate medical information not supported by my test results, and she has pressured me to stop prescribed psychiatric medication despite my history of serious suicide attempts and ongoing mental health treatment.

She also communicates with my Medicaid coordinator in ways that feel like she is misrepresenting my situation and pushing for me to be isolated, even though I am capable of leaving my home and want to maintain independence. My Medicaid coordinator hasn’t spoken to me at all and has personal unnecessary conversations with my mother. I’m not sure how I can have the coordinator changed.

I want to understand my legal rights. Can I revoke her access to my medical information and require that my providers and future Medicaid coordinator communicate directly with me instead? What can I do if my mother refuses to give me access to my information and allow me to make changes?

Edit: She has also pretended to be me on the phone before since our voices sound similar.
