I don't think there has been a thread for those who might have some form of disability here. This thread is for discussing any problem related to a disability, it can be a mental or physical problem as long as this thread can help you feel less alone in this struggle it is all that matters. I personally have issues related to my hearing, I am curious to see if other anons do too here.

Rant incoming I don’t think there’s any advice that could ever help me out. I’ve been struggling with vision problems for the past 7 years of my life due to some rare disease I don’t want to name so I can’t be identified. My left eye is the one that is being affected by it and I’ve had DOZENS of procedures varying from eye injections, eye surgeries, even implants put into my eye. Doctors don’t know what caused it. I’m just sick of this shit I haven’t seen a specialist in a year now even though my vision is worsening. I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to go into the doctors anymore. I now have a big blind spot in my left eyes central vision. That amongst the many surgeries and needles they put into my eye are causing my eye to become lazy/droopy. I’m very self conscious of this, not even that long ago some normie asked me what was wrong with my eye and why does one look tired and one looks awake. I also live in fear that this disease will also somehow start effecting my other eye as well. I can’t enjoy anything outdoors anymore because I have major light sensitivity and I have a bunch of floaters in my vision. I can barely even read on a screen because I just start seeing double once my left eye gets tired. I’m ready to just rip my eye out and wear an eyepatch for the rest of my life.

nta but weight gain is a common side effect. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not a real possibility.

Anonymous 20250

Don't do it, you may drastically gain weight. Especially since you are underweight and unhealthy. It also will make you even more miserable, you might have nausea. Don't stop your body's natural process of shedding eggs every month.

A little bit over a 4” difference for a D cup, so sorta a d-cup. 30D is the last pair i bought a couple years back, and i might have it sitting somewhere in a drawer.

For the healing process, this was a time where I was practically living in the hospital. I had lung surgery frequently, and so recovery was long and extended. Only until 2021 have I really been in full recovery since my lung transplant.
But recovery and healing from the mastectomy almost went unnoticed in comparison to much worse medical issues.
For the immunity part, with a total simple mastectomy they simply remove breast tissue and the surrounding outside skin, making sure to leave the lymph nodes intact. If i remember right, they didn’t remove either of the nodes.

In my very unprofessional opinion, they simply removed my breast out of frustration with dealing with them for my surgeries, but the medical anomaly could have been fully real. But to me, they simply chopped me however they liked under the knife.

nonas my breasts are a joke. i have A-AA cups despite being on the cusp of normal and overweight bmi. my breasts have a horribly ugly shape. they are flat on top and dont have my fat on the underside either, all the fat seems to be on the side of them, yet i have no cleavage. the worst part about them is the nipples. my areolas are puffy and stick out when my nipples arent hard, and theyre also fucking huge compared to the rest of the breast.

theyre ugly in crop tops if its a tight one and i have no bra, cuz theyll look like waffle cones from the side, and theyre ugly with no shirt on, because i have a horrible shape and theyre small for my body.

the ONLY time they look semi presentable is when im cold, and the all the skin on my breast tightens. they look rounder and the areola shrinks SIGNIFICANTLY like to a normal size, but then my tits go back to the same relaxed fugly shape. im doomed

>How has having small breasts affected your body image and confidence?
It has made everything better. No sexualizing from outsiders (well.. as little as possible as a woman), I can jump and run without having to think/prepare, and I love being flat. I got made fun of a little for being so flat in highschool, but I’m so grateful for it I don’t mind. Probably helps I had a mom who hyped me up throughout my childhood.
>Do you believe breast augmentation is alright?
Meh, I advise against it. It’s a waste of time and money you could spend on trying to learn to like yourself. Easier said than done, of course. My mom was Acup and got doubleDs after breast cancer took her breasts, which I mean… eh.. I just don’t understand the logic behind a breast augmentation.
>Do you prefer going braless?
yep. no bras fit me except training ones…
>Do you care about having cleavage or not?
no. i like to show off my chest/collarbone area more than cleavage.
>If you have been berated for having small breasts, how have you coped?
jump up and down without worry
>What's your favorite breast type visually?
B/small C. a little to grab and look at, but not too big.

Has anybody had any luck growing delts? My triceps grow way faster so it makes my arms look really weird with overdeveloped triceps and underdeveloped delts and biceps. I have cut back on tricep exercises so now the only thing I do that works triceps is bench press. Other than than im focusing on lateral raises and bicep curls to make my arms look more proportionate.

Period pain tips? Anonymous 19157[Reply]

I have extremely bad period pains on the first day. So bad I have to skip school or anything I have planned that day because of the pain. It usually includes cramps along with vomiting and an aching pain in my uterus. I refuse to get on birth control so does anyone know any at home remedies to ease the pain? Sorry if this was TMI.

Gyno + laparoscopy would remove any Endo/cysts making periods painful. No hormones needed

If a doctor immediately throws you on BC with no further testing do not see that doctor again, BC can make endo worse

Anonymous 19180

Honestly, masturbation is probably the most immediate and effective period pain relief there is

Also staying hydrated + taking ibuprofen. I drink a lot of sugar-free Gatorade or something with electrolytes during my period

Anonymous 19181

Anons are right you should probably go to a gyno, but it you can't/don't want to, try painkillers with a different active ingredient than what you've been using so far. Not all active ingredients work the same.

Anonymous 20242

take your preferred painkiller at the first hint of pain, and drink lots of water. also, avoid overeating or eating too many sugary things. i used to puke from how bad my cramps were, and doing all that has helped me so much.

Honestly I take painkiller immediately when I first start bleeding. Whenever I don't, I regret it within 12 hours.

But OP should probably see a doctor.

I wish I could have sex Anonymous 20222[Reply]

Posting this here in case someone who relates has advice.

I'm bisexual and have been with both men and women. It's always the same story. I feel sexual attraction toward them, and I can orgasm through masturbation just from thinking about them, but as soon as we go to have sex my vagina clenches and I can't feel aroused by any stimulation, much less orgasm. Partners in the past lost interest in me for it, even though I figured out how to get them off while not feeling anything myself. I'm not uncomfortable during it, nor do I feel awkward, more frustrated that my body doesn't allow me to feel aroused when another person is there.

Right now I'm with the perfect guy who is a lot more understanding than the others, although he says he feels bad that I'm pleasuring him but he can't pleasure me. We relate to each other and love each other so much. He's the kind of guy I would marry and start a family with, but I can't even do PIV.

I have blurry memories of what could have possibly been sexual abuse as a child from a parent, but I'm not entirely sure it was. I'm currently in DBT therapy with a good therapist who's helping me work through a lot of childhood trauma but because my therapist is male I'm embarrassed to ask him about help with sex.

I don't know what to do.

Anonymous 20243

I have this issue due to memories of possible childhood abuse as well. I was finally able to have PIV with my partner last year but I still don’t feel anything pleasant, or really anything at all. I’ve been told that’s common for women but idk if that’s true or if maybe a ton of women are sexually traumatized and experience that as a result. My OB/GYN told me to go to a sex therapist and I’m still considering it. What’s most important is communicating things with your partner. If someone gives you shit for this, they’re not worth it. You literally can’t control it.
But anyways my best advice is to seek a separate female therapist who has experience with sexual dysfunction etc. because opening up about it and feeling uncomfortable might make everything around the experience feel worse

weirdly after trying all the things they reccommend like wearing gloves, putting chile or anti nail-biting polish, keeping my hands busy, nothing worked. I just bit them as much as I wanted for years since I had given up, and all of a sudden a few days ago I realize I have nails. weirdly only on my right hand. i guess i now only bite my left hand.

Don't be dumb

You cannot make your skeleton smaller. There are no "exercises" for this. There is no mechanism by which developing your muscles would magically make your bones and joints look smaller. Fashion tips which claim to "disguise" broad shoulders only create dissonance and make you look weird.

You will always have broad shoulders. If you believe they are "man shoulders" you have internalized stupid ideas about what women's shoulders look like and probably have body dysmorphia. Accept and embrace your build, or suffer and make a fool of yourself.

Not possible. If your shoulders are naturally broad it's because of the skeleton underneath.

I've never seen a woman with "broad man shoulders" even if she was tall btw unless she was super muscular, you're probably just imagining things to be much worse than they are.

Anonymous 20167

It's not just a Muslim thing, I'm in Canada and I've encountered a small catholic town in Quebec that didn't sell tampons cause they're supposed to be virginity stealers. I also noticed menstrual cups were hard to find in Nova Scotia because they're more conservative too. It was a few years before they were in every major pharmacy. A friend of mine from a small village in Newfoundland told me some girls who bought tampons keep it quiet causes it's associated with being a whore cause men believe they are pleasurable for us to wear and plus they think it breaks the hymen so some assume you must have already lost your virginity if you wear it. I presume some rather backwards countries which still allow virginity checks on the wedding night would ban tampons for that reason seeing as this is the state of some provinces here in the west. My mom is from Pakistan and she said growing up tampons weren't a thing to buy but women just stuck cotton up there cause pads were just cotton since disposable pads like today with the plastic film didn't exist back then. Last time I was in the country you could buy always tampons at any pharmacy at a bazzar so I presume it's different now but some places are probably stuck in the past. I wouldn't trust the tampons though, a cousin warned me she imports pads cause she gets rashes from the crap brands sell there vs elsewhere. God knows what's in it and that you wouldn't want to insert it into you

5. Cups - Top tier 10/10 my beloved
Used since 2012, no major failures. Literally only used other options in emergency situations once i adopted them
4. Tampons 5/10 mid not a fan
Kinda hate them because they can hurt like hell when taking out. Kinda hurt in general when putting in too because of how dry.
4. Reusable Pads 3/10 literally only becasue they're reusable, never used
3. Disposable pads 2/10 shit tier diaper crinky bullshit. Plus I have to wear panties which I'm against because theyre a huge scam. No one needs to wear underwear, literally fake useless piece of clothing. Just to siphon money out of your pocket.
4. Period panties 0/10 shit tier, would genuinely just rather freebleed so the blood isnt smooshed up against my bush to dry out and clot up. Gross gross gross.

Anonymous 20253

Period cups changed my life. Period discs even more so. They are easier to empty, to insert and to remove, plus I've always hated the idea of the cup creating suction inside me.

What's your ideal body type, anons?

Are you into being thin, or curvy, or maybe fit? Were you born a cone shape but long to be a pear? Or maybe you're a banana but would rather be an hourglass?
