My mom forces me to get buzzcuts because she hates that I'm a girl. I had to literally buy a wig to get my own hair.

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

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.

Even though I lowered my calorie limit by a lot I've still managed be under most days. I've been focusing more on nutrition lately and I don't get bloated at night like I used to. Feeling good!

try intermittent fasting baby. rough at first but it makes eating less waaaaaaaayyyy easier IMO.

Anonymous 21902

I've been able to keep to my diet even with the 1500 calorie tdee. But my period is getting weird as I lose weight so I might start eating more and focus on building muscle. It's hard to change diet thought patterns, though.

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.

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

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.

Anonymous 21590

>>21586
what brand do you buy from nona?

Anonymous 21591

>>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.

Help - painful periods! Anonymous 21897[Reply]

I'm bleeding way too much on my period, blood keeps leaking out my jeans and my cramps are awful! I keep taking Advil but it's not working, just writhing around in bed sleepless and crying… help me!

Period Thread Anonymous 21888[Reply]

Today, July 8th, is the anniversary of my first period. I will never forget July eighth of 2013 when I had it. It was so painful, I was only 9 at the time too, so I thought Satan had been summoned into my stomach to make me bleed. (I was raised Catholic)

It was horrendous, I threw up, I passed out in bed, had a nightmare of going to Hell and woke up screaming "Jesus, save me!", threw up again and ruined my Game Boy Advance, it was just pure scream bloody gore.

And there's my two cents. Please share your sweet horror stories about your periods.

Anonymous 21889

first time i got my period i put the sticky part facing up because I thought the blood would stick to it and that was the right way. i also suffer from severe pain that make me vomit or almost pass out which had lead to horrible episodes when i was in school.

Anonymous 21891

I don’t remember the exact date. I hid it for a few days. But my mother always forced me to get spray tans like Pixyteri’s mom did and she was screaming abuses at me for refusing to go into the Palm Beach Tan so after hiding in the bathroom wasn’t going to work I had to reveal it when I undressed. Then she promised not to tell my dad and told him ASAP. Yes, my life has always sucked.

Ouch, sounds painful! At least your mom didn't force you to wear diapers like mine did…

I got my period late so I knew what it was immediately. I didn't want to tell my mom so I just used toilet paper as pads.

Did any of your families have celebrations for your period? My husband's family had a party for his sister as a celebration of het "becoming a woman." I think I would've liked that.

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.

have you tried the convict condition routine for handstands? It becomes a bit of a cakewalk combined with shoulder/tricep workout

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

Anonymous 21716

>>21709
Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

I started raised pushups today. I'm going to do as many sets of 5 as I can 3x a week.

Tell me about your experiences. Are SSRIs a meme? Did they help? How long did it take for the supposed effects to kick in? Did you experience severe adverse effects or weight gain?

I'm about to get started on paroxetine with clonazepam for sleep, been taking lorazepam everyday for a month now so I will have to taper off and jump in the SSRI train, that or abuse the clonazepam.

I finally did it I went on medication.
I am on duloxetine for depression and anxiety. I've only just finished my first month on a two month trail. But I feel better an less like dying all the time. It's been really helping. Although it not helping with the brain sluggishness as much as I would like. I still get suicidal thoughts but it's more like a passing thought, like a brief comment, and not something I am heavily fixated on. But I'm not as anxious anymore and constantly filled with fear. I am not panicking over every slightest mistake. Or freaking out constantly.
The best part is that I am not breaking down and crying my eyes out for hours and I'm generally less moody.
My boyfriend has notice a improvement in my mood and seems to be enjoying being around me more. He seems a lot more affectionate.
Some side affects that I don't like are that they make me incredibly tired. My brain feels kind of heavy. Time seems to move incredibly slow. And oddly my face gets numb and tingles. And when I started it was kind of awkward but I couldn't stop smiling, I don't do that anymore.

I’m the same way with the useless procrastination/motivation I hate myself

Anonymous 18001

I take an NDRI (bupropion/wellbutrin xl 300 mg), not an SSRI. I got put on cipralex (an SSRI) initially, which made all my symptoms worse.

I can notice its effects if I forget to take it for a day or two; I get very lethargic, my sinuses feel swollen, and I feel all of the guilt that I have suppressed. I also become incredibly hungry (Wellbutrin is used as an appetite suppressant).

The only problems that I have with it are that it causes tinnitus and hand tremors. It also heightens my anxiety level, but that's relatively okay. It also makes me more prone to seizures and I'm not supposed to have alcohol with it, but I don't really care about that and drink normally anyway.


>Are SSRIs a meme?

Can't say, but my NDRI appears to be working.
>Did they help?
Yes, I don't think I would be where I am today without it.
>How long did it take for the supposed effects to kick in?
I'd say 3-5 weeks.
>Did you experience severe adverse effects or weight gain?
I experienced a lot of weight loss, which I loved.

>The sweating and just back hurting constantly.

i dunno if you know, you can regulate your body temperature with how much weight in general you pack on, how many layers of which material you wear AND by what you eat.

i eat mostly fruit in the summer (half a small watermelon is a nice breakfast you coffee drinking, bread-eating normies), helps to keep weight off, keeps me thin, keeps the sinuses clear (do you even know what that means?) detoxifies, keeps everything nice and moist while being surrounded by dry hot air. i see the normies with their conveniencefood weight and i just shake my head because who would choose this.

Oops sorry I meant to reply to myself (I am going to reply to Myself every time I do a good exercise to help keep myself motivated & let others see / get inspired by my progress)
But on my 45 mins days I do the step master or elliptical with a good podcast episode so it isn’t as gruelling. I am aiming to do long hiking trips on the weekend.

Being active makes me feel alive. My weights fluctuated over the years (115-200lbs) and my healthiest and fittest I’ve been was 130’lbs where I didn’t count calories but made sure I exercised everyday and I skipped junk food, sugary drinks, and ate whole carbs (rice, potatoes)
I’m aiming to get back there again. Would not recommend starving yourself. You don’t feel as good. When I was 115 lbs I’d easily faint sometimes… I did look good in photos but feeling bad ain’t worth it

i hate cardio too. i get around this by doing supersets instead to get my heart rate up. i like push/pull supersets - pushing kettle bell drills and rowing barbells work well. important to have a heartrate monitor as you can take brief rests until you hit a minimum heart rate (115 for me)

What workouts should i do to get wider hips? Im on the fat side, but i don't necessarily want to loose weight, just want a bigger butt. I try squats but i feel like i get bored of them easily because it takes to long for glutes to actually feel burn. Should i start using weights?

Anonymous 21885

>>21834
i recommend hip thrusts, b-stance rdls, hip abductions, kickbacks, and back extensions. thats my whole glutes day in order tbh, very effective!
