As someone with pretty serious anxiety, I’d like to scream a giant “fuck you” at this horseshit. I take enough shit from people who tell me my meds are an “addiction*.” I don’t need fucking glitter stickers from hell on top of that.

I am here for this.

It’s been a year, and so far, so good. I know I’m still in the window for a possible relapse, but I feel like me, and I’m not in pain. There was no question about staying on my mood meds after surgery, but we did have to adjust the dosage because I starting getting myclonic jerks once the pain was gone and my body…

RIGHT?! I think Freakshow is my favorite season of AHS because it’s just so ridiculous and murder clown-y. I loved Hotel because every episode was basically a double-dog dare from the previous episode.

Honestly, I have had more and more fun with each new season of AHS because it has stopped trying to have a whole fancy feeling and is simply a giant bucket of camp.

I kept my left ovary (which was amazingly endo-free), and my pain is completely gone save an occasional twinge that last about 30 seconds (it’s magic), but all my hormonal issues still exist. I’m on the pill to manage it, and it works, but if I miss a pill, it’s fatigue, mood swings, and painful shitting for three or…

If she’s American, I am guessing she is from the South/Midwest. I stopped trying to get help for my pain by the time I was 20 because all the doctors around me basically told me bad periods happen, and I was whining.

I feel you. I was cautious for a long time with my treatment because I didn’t want to have to go through surgery. I did agree to a tubal because I never wanted kids anyway, and it was a good way to check for adhesions. I had some, and they cleaned up what they could. Six months and three types of birth control later,…

My sister had three kids and horrible pain throughout. She was finally diagnosed with uterine fibroids (which she had), and when they went in to pull out her uterus, that is when they discovered she was absolutely COVERED in endo tissue. Her one-hour surgery turned into a four-hour surgery because the tissue was…

I also managed to keep a single ovary because it had somehow escaped the ravage of endo. I’ve been on birth control the whole time, and I haven’t had the experience of the pain coming back, but I do still worry because I know some of my tissue was deep in places the docs were concerned about for bleeding. Due to my…

My sincerest sympathies. I have my left ovary still, but the rest of my junk got yanked, and it was a total game changer. But I still have to be on birth control or all my non-pain symptoms (fatigue, dangerous mood swings) come back full force, so I feel for her having had the big surgery and still dealing with the…

Oh, fuck you, New York state. I wasn’t until I moved from the South (at 28) to the Pacific Northwest that a doctor even took me seriously when I spoke about the pain involved in my periods. I had stopped seeking treatment for it by the time I was 18 because no doctor ever took my “I feel like I’m fucking dying,”…

It can vary from person to person, but they are the worst poops of my life. Basically, it’s three days where I can’t poop, followed by having period cramps, and then pooping for twenty minutes WHILE having cramps. And sometimes it’s diarrhea and sometimes it’s super hard, and you never know what’s going to happen…

Late to the game, but any Bota Box is gonna be nice. 10 bucks, and you get at least a bottle and a half (brick) or three bottles (a box).

I only recently read The Handmaid’s Tale for the first time, and the fact my patriarchal, highly religious hometown (a church on every block!) doesn’t carry it i the county library says a LOT. My mother thinks I am reaching. I think my mother is being blind to the fact that even now, the book does not exist in the…

I grew up similar to the family, where an 8-year-old in charge of an ATV/UTV was perfectly fine because parents are in view and supervising. I feel for the family very much hope Maddie makes it out okay.

I had a guy I knew casually through work who asked me out, and I said yes because he was cute and worked at a different store. On our first date, he mentioned he had two kids from his first marriage, and I said (this is literally a quote): “I think it’s great you love your kids, but I’m not a kid person.” He then…

I think this speaks very much to women coming to a point where “hell no” is an option in sexual communication. This generation of women (1980-forward) has been able to put our foot down and say, “You don’t have a fucking chance,” in a way our forebearers weren’t allowed. Thanks to them, we can just say “no,” and…
