    No, I DONT want to be pregnant

    Thank you for that! I do feel like I need to constantly defend my choice. Its so frustrating to have your feelings belittled and ignored. I guess it's harder when it's your own family because you want them to understand. But I like the "I've already answered that" approach. Concise, clear and...

    No, I DONT want to be pregnant

    30F, diagnosised in 2020, but unable to find any effective treatments. Constant pain, terrible fatigue. Just walking my dogs for 20 min is taxing. Washing dishes, painful. Laundry, painful.

    Apps or Games to Pass the Time

    Okay this isn't a puzzle or brain game, but if you want to relax, I love games like Harvest Town or Stardew Valley. Basically a cute little farm/living simulator. It's chill and adorable. And it occupies your mind and gets you thinking and strategizing without realizing it.

    Alternative Therapy for Anxiety

    One of my dogs is insanely sensitive to my mental condition. If I get even remotely stressed out he has to come over to me, lick my tears, climb in my lap. Its amazing how much dogs love and support us ❤️ also he's 65 pounds so climbing into my lap in my office chair is just hilarious. If you...

    Suggestions for Medicinal Cannabis

    I am a 100% newbie to cannabis. I have never even seen marijuana before, so I need some super basic advice. I just applied for a card in VA. I have tried so many different medications so I want to see if any cannabis products will help me. I cannot smoke or vape. Could anyone recommend a...

    Physical therapy for fatigued muscles?

    I have a very similar issue. It's not muscle "weakness," it's fatigue. I can still lift something, but then I get exhausted afterward and have horrible soreness. Even my neck is sore from holding up my own head :eek: I have found that foam rolling and massage are the best ways to help ease the...
