That's exactly what I'm doing. This one guy I'm talking to online claims he doesn't just want to get laid but keeps asking for pics and I feel like a piece of meat and not that attracted to him, but of course I thought "omg I should feel lucky he finds me attractive despite being a size 4 and give him a chance!"…

This is why I'm never traveling to India, the middle east, etc. It's really not safe for women there, and I feel horrible that anyone living or working there has to be in fear of this garbage. The rage is just indescribable. :(

WTF is that?? It's like this woman got raped twice.

See, it did the opposite for me, but your post demonstrates exactly why it's a powerful medicine, and we can't tell all women to "just go on the pill" for contraception purposes. It's so complicated! I think mine only works because I have had hormonal headaches before the pill and low estradiol/PCOS symptoms.

I get the IQ drop and bad mood (I think that's called a prodrome or something) then the headache, usually, but sometimes I'll just get the first two. So weird.

Me too! I still get them but not everyday like before. Thank you, Ortho-Tricyclen!

The balloons part was awesome. Well done! I liked the rap part too.

I must take this test!

The Amanda Bynes Help site is actually real, you guise! I died when I clicked on it.

Exactly! And it's so funny that you pointed out the instinct part— I didn't even see that. But like I said I educated them and things got better— they haven't tried telling me I was "looking for an excuse to break up" with someone, or said "ok, he's manipulative but..." like before since.

I'll go cry in a corner now.

Call Cake Wrecks!

But in a more positive light, I have succeeded in educating my parents more about the treatment and how severe it is. They mean well but they just don't understand me like my girl friends do.

Well, guy friend said that he didn't see the manipulation, and said that since this guy felt rejected he was trying to make me feel that way. Sigh. While he may seem not to understand male-on-female manipulation, to his credit he's been in a (albeit dysfunctional, she freaks out about irrational things) relationship…

Exactly!! There were like 5 guilt trip phrases in the whole convo, and I told him "you don't interrogate someone you barely know!"

How sad and disappointing. :(

Right? And another somewhat-related thought— when we see female celebrity addicts, most of us mock them, but we don't seem to criticize male celebrity addicts as much.

Right? He never said I lied about never receiving the text message but he sure acted like it! I am a little afraid of him but he accepted the rejection and I'm proud that I stood up for myself instead of ignoring my instincts and letting low self-worth and desire for acceptance take over. I started getting that dirty,…

It's so funny I saw this message now. I just got done getting guilt-tripped by this guy I met online (dating site) but never in real life. We had a few conversations, he was gorgeous, but we didn't talk often or long so I thought he wasn't that interested, or he was testing the waters with other girls, etc. Fine. As…

What the... WHY would they post that?? It's pixellated but even sound alone of a RAPE is graphic. And without someobw's permission? I just can't even. *rage*
