Recently I’ve come to terms with having vaginismus after years of having painful sex and penetration. I always think if I’m just turned on and wet enough, sex won’t hurt. But I recently tried to have sex with my friend and I’m still sore a couple of days later. My OB recommended me a physical therapist and sex therapist. All the sexual wellness places I looked into don’t take insurance. I haven’t gotten around to scheduling a physical therapist, but I’m guess I’m wondering what else I can do since I can’t really do sex therapy.

For a few years I (28f) was friends with someone (30f) from high school who I had reconnected with. At the time I didn’t have any close friends, and we bonded over our shared issues.

Over time, I felt like the relationship was one sided. Every day she would message me talking about a problem and I would talk her through it, but I rarely if ever felt like I got the same in return. On top of that, when we would hang out I would find myself annoyed with her. Admittedly I should’ve ended the friendship, earlier. But I cared for her and I felt bad, especially since she would consider me her best friend. I didn’t ever have the heart to tell her that I didn’t feel the same.

Fast forward a few years, and I’ve gone through a lot of changes. And still I felt the relationship was one sided. She would talk to me about the same problems repeatedly but never asked how I was doing, never considered my emotions. But I always felt like I had to consider hers.

A few weeks ago I pretty much exploded on her. She told me she felt that I didn’t care about her because I told her I was tired of her talking about the same person, among other things. I told her I don’t want to talk anymore. Today I unfollowed her on my socials. She messaged me but all I told her was I need space. I do feel bad, but I think I feel bad because I know she may be feeling bad. I admit I wasn’t the greatest friend either, but I do feel more at peace.

Retail brand: None
Glue brand: NYK1. I heard it’s a really good glue! I prepped so much! Pushed back and cut my cuticles, buffed, dehydrated my nails twice, put acetone on the fake nail. Put glue on both nail and fake nail. The next morning they just popped right off. I want to give up but I also just don’t understand what I’m doing g wrong.
