I need some clear thinking here. Been emailing/texting this guy - haven’t met yet but he’s been very cool checking in with me while I am going through a tough time. Thing is, he called me “kiddo” today. UGH it made my skin crawl. We’re both middle-aged. Stuff like that just grosses me out. Previously, this other man…

There’s a documentary on it called Breaking Bad if you’re interested

OMG I LOVE MY IUD sooooo much. I have no side effects like I did with other bc, but best of all, I can’t use it wrong or improperly, so it just keeps me kid free and with a 2 day light spotting. Also I don’t feel it AT ALL. IT’S AMAZING

No. The problem is that their minds are already made up, and they have endless justifications for why you’re wrong and they’re right. I found out the FUN way (a three-hour car ride) that my brother has turned into a 9/11 truther, and I just can’t even with those motherfuckers. But by disagreeing with this guy’s…

Hi all,

Am contemplating getting an IUD. I’m currently on the pill, have never had any major side effects with any form of bc (pill, patch, nuva ring). I’d love to get thoughts from others on their experiences/recommendations. At this point the thought of having something implanted all up in me is pretty icky, but the idea of…

For my graduation (whenever that will be. Okay, next year), I would love to get myself a proper, good-quality purse. What brands do you recommend? I would like something with good construction, various sizes and styles, and excellent warranties. I don’t want to be ignored 20 minutes after I buy this thing. Ability to…

Hey y’all!

Ooh exciting! My biggest bit of advice is to get some real exposure to the field in nursing school if you can. Have you done your psych rotation yet? Do you get a final internship or capstone clinical? Psych nursing is such an great area to work in, but it can be challenging as all hell, especially for people who like…

thanks so much for the hard work you do — my mom is a psychiatrist, and she always comes home full of stories about the million ways the psych nurses kicked ass that day and made her patients’ lives better and her job easier. people often don’t realize how important the whole psych treatment team is — it’s not just…

Hi! I’m a psychiatric nurse who has personally been on Zoloft for a couple of years. SSRIs do have withdrawal symptoms, and you can have this anxious bounce back which is crazy uncomfortable, and some have physical withdrawal symptoms like nausea or vertigo. Be gentle with yourself and surround yourself with people…

Medical Question to all Jezzies! Woke up this morning to another screaming case of strep confirmed by an urgent care doc. Tonsillectomy is recommended because this is my (count ‘em) seventh or eighth time getting strep in a 2 year period. I actually just recently had it in December.

Alright let’s do a Beauty, skincare, haircare, shit thread! Anything new you are excited about? Found a new holy grail? Need some advice or suggestions? Just want to bitch about your ingrown hair? LET’S DO THIIIIIS.

Hey Jezzies, whatcha drinking? More Kevita for me! I had some vodka earlier this week, but I just don’t feel much like drinking today. Still getting over the nasties. The headache is better and the fever, while still there, has gone down. It’s that persistent cough that still gets me though. I hate that shit,…

My boyfriend will be 38 and I’m 7 years younger than him and we both want children...I’m comfortable waiting a few years but I’m nervous for him. Any advice?

This will be me, because while I want kids *someday* I’m currently a “selfish” witch woman who has way too much fun drinking whenever I want, spending my money on whatever I want, having whatever relationships I want, and generally doing whatever I want to pop out a kid and change my whole life up.

I became a mom for the first time at 40, had the second at 43. We waited, perhaps a bit too long, because of career, money, experiences, travel. We married at 30 so we knew we were going to be older parents and had a lot of things we wanted to do before we had kids. But other than the judgements of people around us,…

I’m 36 and about 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve had one “let’s get this started” meeting with the obgyn’s office and I’m already sick of being treated like I’m an elderly anomaly. I’m in better health now than when I was 20 tbh, it bothers me when they assume that I’m somehow falling apart and my bones are turning to dust.

I live in a world in Los Angeles where the majority of my friends (I can think of ten off hand) all have healthy large families which they did not start until the woman was age 37.
