I feel like we need more sisterhood in this world of turmoil and disconnection. I would like to start a Woman’s bible study . A place of refuge and healing and renewal to go out into the world and be the strength and love someone else needs. Would that be something anyone would be interested in 💐✝️

No access to good therapy. And bad therapy (from my experience) is 100x worse than no therapy at all.

I'm dealing with an issue that's come about as a result of a combination of both. Or rather, how the neurodivergant brain responds to such things.

The long and short of it is something I use for self-regulation has recently become totally lost to me and I'm just finding that non-neurodivergant people are unable to see why it's an issue.

I did try r/AutismTraumaSurvivors but the post was removed without explanation.

This is crazy to me but here it goes,

Head Boss - HB

Head Boss Recruiter - Madame

So, Madame met me and mentioned that HB has been asking about me in a companionship/girlfriend type of way. HB is married or should be, and should have children my age or older.

Madame says just do it and get money and stuff put of it. He'll take care of you. Which I get that but, I don't know about the narrative of being someone's sugar baby.

My morality says you shouldn't do this, but HB is connected and while the money is good, the connection is even better. I run a side business that could benefit greatly from these connections.

It's not a guarantee that he'll actually get me connected though.

So, at what cost am I willing to have a possible connection to big contracts and stuff? Is it worth a shot? How easily can I get out?

Plus it doesn't really line up with my religion either.

How do I get out of it if I decide not to go ahead? My job is kinda at stake here too

Edit: It's not AI lol, I only considered because of the potential connections tbh and I've left Madame know that I can't do so and I'm only interested in a genuine professional relationship. Should I put anything more in place?

I’ve been dating a guy and we’ve made it official but we haven’t been intimate yet. I think he’s a little nervous around sex and he hasn’t been in a relationship in about five years before we got together.
I recently shared my status with him and how I got tested at my last appointment and I was happy to share the results with him, and all he told me was thank you for letting him know and that I had been a while for him since he had sex, which wasn’t the reciprocity I was looking for. So I asked him what his status was and he told me he hadn’t been tested since before his last partner over five years ago.

He doesn’t have health insurance through his job so I told him I completely understood but then asked if he planned on getting tested at the health department since it’s low-cost there. He said. “ if you want me to” and to me that felt super weird because I feel like that’s an important thing you do even if you don’t have symptoms of something.

Am I being off base here? I know more than likely he’s fine and I don’t want him to feel like I’m calling him dirty and that’s not what I’m intending at all. When I was younger, I was with someone who gave me chlamydia and they didn’t know they had it because they were asymptomatic for a long time and I don’t wanna put myself back in that situation again ever so I always get tested.

Hi, i am looking for suggestions for podcasts, books, subreddits, communities/ community suggestions for empowering women, positivity and feminism.
