While in hospital for surgery to fix a broken bone, I ended up not pooing for most of the hospital stay. I’m a nervous pooer, plus I needed help to get to the bathroom. They gave me some nasty kiwifruit juice to drink, plus some laxatives but they did nothing. A couple of days after discharge, I was so uncomfortable.…

As someone who suffers a number of IBS-type symptoms (no diagnosis...yet) this guy has my utmost sympathy.

Takeaway sushi (read: discounted sushi I bought the other night for cheap). Crunchy Chicken rice ball to be exact. Pray for my gastrointestinal wellbeing.

I hate that attitude. That performance of TIHTY resonated so strongly with me, as a survivor. It’s like they’re completely missing the message of the song. ‘Til It Happens to You’ indeed....

It’s not something I’ve opened up to with friends. I talk about other abusive aspects of my relationship with my ex, but not my rape. I feel like a lot of people don’t see spousal rape as ‘real’ rape. Mine was coercive. As messed up as it is, I hate myself more for relenting than I hate him for actually doing it. Good…

I feel you. I spent about 8 years going on increasingly higher dose BCP to stop breakthrough bleeding that would inevitably occur. It would get to a point where I would bleed for 2 weeks (don’t know how much longer it would keep up coz I’d go to the doctor by then and beg for something to stop it)

I do this but I eventually end up with non-stop bleeding, resulting in the doctor putting me on increasingly higher dose pills. It’s frustrating and I just want to give up.

Chocolate coated coffee beans. Less a snack, more of a necessity to function.

As a carb-lover, I find the concept of zoodles to be very distressing.

Dick to his face?

I just googled what a pimento loaf is, and good lord, that is uncanny.

Straight up child abuse.

My lips are kinda sensitive and I never had any issues with eos, though I got them as a gift as haven’t repurchased because they’re expensive and I have to order online. Find lip balm that works for me is a bit of an annoyance because I’m allergic to something that’s in some of them but I’ve never really identified…

I have a hideously ugly, gnarly thumb due to years and years of skin picking. My cuticles and any pimples I get also fall victim. The only thing that actually helped was when I had acrylic nails on for a few weeks and physically could not pick due to how thick the nails were. Of course, I couldn’t afford to maintain…

You do get used to them after a few days. I don’t like the long square ones Gwen’s got though. Rounded looks nicer.

Yeah, I’m feeling this. The tantalizing allure of Netflix is too strong.

Steak fried chicken, aka salmonella.

This! They can pry my self-deprecating humor from my cold, dead, childish hands.

Yes! As someone with depression, some days just doing the basics is an achievement in itself. No, I don’t want a ribbon (though that would be amusing!) I just want the right to make my somewhat self deprecating jokes that get me through, mmkay.
