That’s all. That damn fight raised my blood pressure and stressed me out more than any other enemy has so far, and I had just defeated my first electric Gleeok earlier the same day. Had gloom resistance, sunny food, some good weapons and still died. It’s my first play through, I’ve got about 17 hearts, not fully upgraded armor but still upgraded. So I may just not be ready. Dude ran up on me so fast lol. I don’t think I’ll be trying that again anytime soon. Just wanted to vent 😆😅 what’s the most stressful fight you’ve had in this game so far?

I’ve been vaping for 12 years (30 now). I’m so sick of being so heavily reliant on something that is so bad for me. I’m relatively healthy, and have never been overweight or chronically ill or anything else that could maybe explain some of my issues, but over the past few years especially I’ve really noticed some negative changes:

My blood pressure has increased in a bad way.
I get heart palpitations from just sitting up and shifting around the covers in bed.
I started to experience “air hunger”.
I have a lowkey but persistent unexplained cough.
I’m tired all the time.
My skin seems to really lack color/look dull when I’m not tanned and I cannot get rid of the dark circles under my eyes.
My hair and nails are weak, I’ve always had at least a bit of acne.
Working out is (probably) 10x harder than it should be.
I’ve noticed a bunch of random stomach issues, such as indigestion or a burning/empty feeling (acid reflux..?), and irregular/often unhealthy bowel movements.
My dopamine seeking tendencies (already bad bc ADHD) always win and I feel like I have very little self restraint/consideration for my future self.
I’m not dumb, but I sure do feel dumb a lot of the time (foggy brain).

I’m listing all of this to remind myself that I could be and feel so much better based on the success stories I’ve read in here (and I would like to thank you all for that).

I bought a new vape today, and I won’t waste my money, but I am adamant about it being my last. I’ve quit twice before in my early twenties. Cold turkey. It’s the only way I can really do it. But this time I’m not taking any steps backward. Over the next couple weeks, I will put forth an effort to be more CONSCIOUS about when I am hitting it, rather than mindlessly doing so just bc it’s there. Which is an exercise in self control in itself. I will probably be visiting this sub a lot in order to remind me of what I’m doing this for (me!!). I want to be the best and healthiest version of myself, so here’s to really sticking to it this time even though I know it’s going to be hell for a little bit. I am strong, and the small amount of suffering I’ll go through is going to be so worth the lifelong reward.

I’m white. My partner and his parents took me to their church - I had a great time, heard some of the most amazing music, and everyone I met was very nice to me and welcoming and I’d love to go back. Just curious to hear your thoughts on a white person being in a Black-centered religious space. Do you wonder why they are there? Do you care at all? I love hearing and learning from perspectives outside of mine, and I am wanting to be the most respectful I can be :)

Yes, the “scromiting” thing. And no, that did not happen to me lol.

I’m 30. spent 4-5 years of my life underweight, vaguely sick, and in and out of the ER multiple times due to hyperemesis episodes, and looking into GI doctors and getting an endoscopy before an ER doctor finally suspected it. I’m like 30 lbs heavier than I was back then and I can eat normally again.

Hoping this can be an educational post for someone out there!

I posted here last week. I’m 30, this is my first time on birth control and I am trying a generic version of Yaz to hopefully help regulate my pmdd symptoms and heavy/long, painful periods. Everything is going fairly well, my mood has been good, libido intact, no nausea or boobie tenderness. I haven’t had any issues arise.

Howeverrrr. I’m on day 16 and it should be kind of around the time my regular period hits (I started taking it without regard to my cycle, probably a week and a half after my last period). I suppose what I’m having is some breakthrough bleeding right now. I’ve had brown spotting for the past few days, nothing crazy and nothing heavy. However, the spotting seems to be accompanied by some pretty gnarly cramping. I’m getting the normal back and front pain I get with a regular period cramp, however it feels like one long continuous cramp?? Instead of on and off like I’m used to. It’s very annoying.

Can anyone with much more experience than me tell me if this is to be expected? I know spotting and cramping can be totally normal, and it can take a few months to regulate everything when starting the pill, but this continuous cramping isn’t something I’ve ever experienced before. Advil does not really seem to help. I haven’t reached my 4 placebo pills yet so I’m not sure what my withdrawal bleed might look like or what’s going on with my uterus at this very moment. Any similar experiences? How did the following months play out for you?

I’m 30 and I am trying a generic version of Yaz in hopes that it helps treat my pmdd and heavy, long periods. Also, I’m not looking to get pregnant at the moment and of course my partner and I would like to have unlimited sexy times. I’ve been against birth control forever due to my fear of the potential side effects but decided to finally give it a shot.

I’m not sure if symptoms caused by hormonal changes are supposed to show up later or something, and I haven’t reached the menstruation part of my cycle yet, but so far I have actually noticed some POSITIVE side effects. I was and still am a little worried about my libido dropping, however I have been HORNY. More so than before I started. I just want jump on my partner. I have not noticed any nausea or fatigue, in fact I feel more awake than I had been feeling before. No cramps or soreness anywhere. I have been emotional, but in a good way. Like crying over adorable cat videos and stuff. Feeling love for those I love.

Anyway, I’m pleasantly surprised and I’m wondering if there’s gonna be a “sike!” moment later down the line. Anyone else have a positive experience with Yaz?
