My mom got so mad at me for getting my period. She hates the fact I'm a girl so much, it is not even funny. I am now 21 and still have to deal with this because I live with my parents.

>>21888
I was 14 taking a bath when all of the sudden I noticed brownish looking mucus floating, I freaked out and thought it was diarrhea from trusting a fart, turns out I had just caught my period in the very beginning stages.

>>21895
that sounds awful nona. why did she get mad?

>>21909
My mom REALLY wanted me to be a boy.

I'm having an expected and unusually heavy period. I take subscription iron supplements but I'm so exhausted and unstable right now.

Imo, thin and curvy is ideal (as in mostly narrow but with wider hips). Unfortunately I'm not curvy, I'm more rectangular, I have to stay thin or else I look bad.

thin and flat but with nice waist, just extremely small sick looking

I wish i was tall I seethe every time somebody brings up how short I am i hate it so much. I dont care what body type I just wish I was tall so I could look at people beneath me the way talls look at me now. They mess around with me too saying shit about how theyre letting middle schoolers in wherever I am and asking if i lost my parents. fucking talls should turn short for a day to know what its like. In high school they used to just pick me up just to mess with me. I hate all talls.

I’m happy with my general body shape but sometimes I wish I was petite. I also wish my tits weren’t as saggy.

I have fattened breasts from eating so much crock pot roast beef. I look like someone literally stuffed me.

Yeah, sure, my hallucinations and delusions were just a myth invented by ebil corpos.

Returning to the topic of the thread.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Currently I take paroxetine and quetiapine (ESL, so I don't know their murican names)
>When did you start?
Year ago when my parents finally made me visit to psychiatrist. I felt so bad, that I wanted to be hospitalised despite knowing how shitty my country's psych wards are. Luckily, my genetic disease saved me from going there.
>Are you diagnosed with anything?
Either schizotypal personality disorder or psychotic depression. Yeah, I've been through psychosis and not just once.
>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
I was lucky to have my antidepressant correct from beginning, but finding a right antipsychotic took some time. I've tried aripiprazole, but it just gave me bad extrapyramidals. Olanzapine made me gain weight very quickly, so it was cancelled.
My current meds are working fine, but I have a fear that once I drop them, I'll return back to shitty state and maybe even worse. They make you dependant, for sure, but it's the case with many meds used against chronic diseases, not only with antipsychotics and antidepressants. Many gastroenterological meds such as laxatives and inhibitors of proton pump make you dependant on them as well, but I guess, becoming a bit dumber than usual is bigger problem than not being able to shit by yourself and having strong stomach bain and heartburn every time you're off your meds.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Zoloft 100mg (seeing doc in a couple days, bet she will increase it), pregabalin 75mg 3x.

>When did you start?
Feb, I think? maybe earlier

>Are you diagnosed with anything?
PTSD. Scumbag psychologist insisted I "did not seem like someone with PTSD" but both a psychiatrist, and later a hospital diagnozed me with PTSD. Also, depression, dyslexia, dyscalculia.

>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
Mirtazapine, big regret. Useless for anxiety, could of been useful if the psychiatrist educated me and pointed out only SSRIs help anxiety. So I wouldn't had wasted time and money.

Zoloft tho…it feels like nothing changed and I am still me. Yet my anxiety finally is beginning to chill the hell out. Everything feels normal until "wait…did I just…walk up and talk to that librarian? wait, did I legit just order food on my own, and even was able to walk back up to the cashier and ask him to correct my order? wait….. I MANAGED TO GET INTO SCHOOL?? wait wtf I CAN NOW MANAGE TO CALL MY DOC INSTEAD OF RELYING ON EMAILING HER??" I also find it mind blowing, I was too scared to go to a piercing studio, not cuz pain, but because of severe social anxiety. I had a friend walk me to the place, and still I was under tons of fear since I'd have to eventually go in a room alone with the piercer. But now, I can do it fine all on my own, with just awkward nervousness, no biggie. I also now have the balls to ask for directions from strangers.

Oh, same anon still. I want to empathize the irony of all this: programming + building breadboard and arduino projects is a huge hobby of mine that means a lot, but keep it mind it requires hyper focusing and logic. A soldier with PTSD told me "don't idle. constantly do something, outside of games. that helps with PTSD slowly get under control", and a friend also said to keep depressin at bay find some hobby you can be consistent with. So Zoloft making programming and my IT school harder to focus in is hugely ironic and annoying. But eh, I try to make it thru. We all have more control over our lives than we think, we just gotta keep trying, chief.

You do realize these meds were invented to replace lobotomies and "female hysteria" treatment, right?

I always come back to this thread. Thinking about taking welbutrin permanently so I don’t have to live properly but still be pumped with adrenaline

I'm on the lookout for a new bag, I tend to carry a ton of stuff with me every day, but my day-to-day purse is so uncomfortable to wear over my shoulder, it has a thin strap that digs in, especially if I have a small water bottle in the purse. I know ideally I'd get a backpack for all my shit, but I find them mostly unfeminine and not practical to grab things out of quickly. My clothing usually doesn't have pockets so anything I carry is in there.

TL;DR
What should I get that holds a vast amount of items, is comfortable and doesn't dig into my shoulder, but isn't a huge bulky backpack? Picrel in black is what I have been using for the last 3 years.

my main bag

i like the simple 100% cotton bags from the crafts store. they can be dyed into any color so they always match my favorite current style. i always have plenty of them, so when i just need one that is empty for some one-time purpose i always find an empty one without having to empty a bag out. when they get dirty i just wash them in the washing machine. in theory i have pens that wash out so i could temporarily paint something on one but i just realize i have never done it.

>>21850
woah, what bag is that? thats so cute!

I saw a woman with a cute pink plaid bag today that I want but I don't know the brand. I love denim for summer bags.

seeing your ribs when you suck your tummy in is normal

>>21915
You're weight is perfectly healthy, you're not skinny. If anything you could probably benefit from toning your stomach, you're sucking in and posing for dear life and that makes it obvious what you look like relaxed. Thin women don't have deformed ribs like that so just breathe a little girl, it doesn't fool anyone anyway so don't embarrass yourself. Not that you'd care about dignity posting your weird nudes here

You need to go to the gym, your body has no definition. Go do some weight training.

>>21915
Fuck you skinny bitch I'm transfering 15kg to you with my mind

>>21915
Definitely not too skinny

>>21816

anything with iron if you're deficient

I've thinking about getting into peptides eventually for skincare. Very underrated option for women as an alt to regular products or just straight up surgery. For now I just want topical rigin and injectable ghk-cu but pal-ahk and snap-8 seem to have good benefits as well. I've seen good results like tighter smaller pores this past month from topically applying deer antler velvet cream. I suspect it increases cell overturn through the IGF-1 (growth factor hormone) it contains.

im kinda blackpilled on skincare i havent been able to find any studies showing moisturisers work. maybe retinols and sunscreen but thats it

>>21863
i mean do you like having dry skin…

>>21884
I asked for layers and she lazily only snipped like two strands of hair bear the front of my face

I wanted ash-blonde color hair. Showed pictures. Ended up with purple hair. I hated it. In retrospect I should've just enjoyed the ride.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

>>21897
birth control, heating pads, CBD, midol, orgasms, ive heard some teas help, some people have reported acupuncture helping, lower back massages, and certain supplements.

as for the overflow of blood, I'd suggest a super tampon during the day along with a pad. for nighttime ive heard of girls straight up using diapers that women typically buy after giving birth.

>>18363
That looks like a man

>>21896
Maybe your mom is a radical feminist?
Ever thought about that?
Never assume your own mom hates you, just because you are a pickme.

>>21903
wtf

>>21903
You obviously didn't understand. I said my mom hates THE FACT I'M A GIRL. Not me.

Also, she is not a feminist but is a Catholic, very different.

>>569
>>21903
what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

>>21259
I don't think I have pcos but i'm brown so I get an annoying amount of upper lip hair. trying learning how to thread or getting small facial razors that won't irritate your skin to use daily.

also i'm about the same weight as you and I think you just need to lose like 10 pounds or even now, you're fine. I hope the best for you. I wonder why >>21260 called you that

>>21259

unironically and I know it sounds like alternative medicine bullshit but spearmint tea. I have PCOS where I get lots of facial hair on my chin especially and jawline/neck acne but once I started buying loose leaf spearmint only tea and having a cup or two of that a day (I recommend adding more hot water to the first batch for your second cup in the morning and having another cup of tea at night). when I tried this consistently, within the first week I noticed the jaw acne stopped coming back and it let the old ones heal and the chin hairs basically stopped growing minus one or two, but at rates much slower than usual.

>>21586
what brand do you buy from nona?

>>21590
Not op but you can buy spearmint leaves from the grocery store and wash it and boil it in just plain water for 5 mins on medium heat and then strain it and you have the tea.

>>21259
Sounds like what's happening to me.
