Apparently, we’ve all been drinking Peach Malt wrong.

Okay so my 27M adult partner says peach malt is best right before freezing point. According to him, if your Peach Malt isn’t hovering at the edge of existence between liquid and solid, you are wasting your time. I tried chilling it to his exact specifications and I just can't tell the difference, bruh 😭😭 Whats his problem? At this point, I am convinced that he’s delusional 🥲.

Urgent: Honest reviews for psychologist Tahira Malik (DHA)

I am currently going through a severe mental health crisis and urgently need to find a good psychologist in Lahore. I saw a therapist about two months ago but had to discontinue (due to personal issues) and right now my condition requires urgent, immediate lookup.
I came across Ms. Tahira Malik (she practices around DHA Phase 4).
I wanted to ask if anyone here has personal experience with her or her clinic (Friendz Table)? I’ve heard some mixed things through word-of-mouth, specifically that her demeanor can sometimes come across as a bit rude or dismissive, so I’m a little hesitant.
If you or anyone you know has visited her, how was your experience? Was she empathetic and helpful, or should I look for other options in Lahore? Any alternative recommendations in the DHA/Gulberg area would also be highly appreciated.

I feel like im literally dying. PMDD crisis during finals. I can’t breathe, need help idk who to reach out to

im in the absolute worst mental state of my entire life right now and im terrified. i feel like im actually dying. my chest is so heavy, i can't breathe, and i don't even know who to reach out to. the scariest part is im not even in my luteal phase right now so my brain is completely spinning trying to understand why i feel this insane rage and panic. i have been delaying finding a doctor for me cus i thought i ll manage it and focus on this part of my life once my degree ends. I am in my final semester and have a final exam in one day and a job interview but I am completely paralyzed. I can't even sit at a table and i kept sleeping the whole day to avoid these feelings and my life. The rage and confusion is so intense that its terrifying me. My partner tried to do something nice and ordered food to my place, and it made me so insanely angry that I want to break up with him and blow my whole life up. I am drowning in guilt. I can’t call him because if I do I will just sob and scream and blame him for things that aren't his fault, and it makes everything 100000x worse. I am completely isolated, I don’t know who to reach out to, and I feel so lost and unsafe in my own body right now and honestly i dont even know how to pass this night.please i am not right i need help i can't keep living like this daily. has anyone ever felt this outside of luteal? please tell me i'm not losing my mind i don't know how to survive tonight.

Follicular Rage & the "Urge to Isolate": I don’t know how to stop myself from ruining a good relationship?

I’m currently in my follicular phase and I am spiraling. Usually, this is the "safe" time, but the PMDD rage has followed me here and it’s terrifying. I feel so angry for NO reason at all.I’m writing this through tears because I don't know where else to go. I am having a total breakdown. My chest is actually aching from the stress, and I can’t stop crying. The agitation I’m feeling right now is honestly concerning. It’s not just "being annoyed", it’s a physical, vibrating need to get away from my life. My mind is telling me that I’m a total failure and that I need to end my relationship immediately.

My partner is honestly the most caring, understanding person, and patient person, but recently they said, “I feel like we are fighting daily”(which is true and it’s not their fault) .They’re right cus I do get irritated and mad at the smallest, most insignificant things. Ever since they said that, my brain has been on a loop telling me to end the relationship and just isolate myself from the world forever.
I’m sitting here crying because I feel like a burden. My mind is telling me that I need to stay away from everyone so I don’t hurt them or exhaust them anymore. I want to end things just to "save" them from me, even though I love them. I just feel like I can’t explain that it’s not in my control, I feel I don’t have the energy to talk to them, I feel lost and hopeless. Im crying nd crying nd crying nd it never seems to end.

Severe PMDD flare-ups: Should I start with a gynecologist referral or go straight to a psychiatrist?

Hey everyone! I am dealing with severe PMDD symptoms and it has gotten to a point where the monthly flare-ups feel completely unmanageable. Right now, my symptoms are at their absolute worst. On top of the severe symptoms, the guilt I feel right now is insane. My mood swings are so intense, and all I want to do is isolate and be completely alone. I feel like a massive burden to my partner. I can see that our relationship is suffering (although my partner is caring) because of me and it breaks my heart. I just want to push everyone away so they don't have to deal with me or suffer alongside me.I want to take action immediately, but I am overwhelmed by the healthcare system. For those who deal with severe PMDD, what is the fastest way to get medicated and properly evaluated by a specialist who understands this condition?
1- Should I consult my gynecologist first and ask for a direct referral to a psychiatrist?
2- Or is it faster/better to find a psychiatrist or trauma-informed therapist independently?

My main concern is getting a comprehensive approach. I need to manage the immediate hormonal/brain sensitivity crisis while finding an actual medication protocol that keeps me stable.If you have severe symptoms, who actually took you seriously and got you onto the right medication quickly? Any advice on navigating this logistical hurdle while in a severe flare-up would mean the world. Thank you.

Persistent dark spot after repiercing my navel

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice or similar experiences. I originally got my belly pierced, but the alignment was off, so I took it out immediately. I waited about 1.5 weeks and then got it repierced.
It has now been over a month since my second piercing. I only used alcohol pads to clean it daily. Everything feels fine to me as there’s no pain, swelling, or discharge, but I have this dark/purple-ish spot around the piercing that just won’t go away.
I’d love some suggestions on how to reduce the appearance of these spots or if I just need to be more patient! Thanks!
