2023.06.01 08:13 bubbles897 birthcontrol for weight gain and pain?
I've been having problems with my weight for almost a year now, (17f) I weigh 84 pounds at 4'10 and honestly it's really effecting my confidence with people pointing out how thin i am compared to before and pushing me to gain weight when ive tried and tried but nothing has worked. Not only that but my period have been very long up to 10 days. Very painful and go from being heavy the first 3-4 days, light as if it's ending and heavy once again before I start spotting near the end, it's been giving me severe dizziness because of that
I've brought the situation to light to my mom and shes supportive of my decision, not that its a bad thing if i did but im not going on it for sex but just to balance my hormones, she's aware of my severe weightloss, I went from 105 to 82 in under 2 months (May 2022-July 2022). My weight had been fluctuating, getting all excited when I see some tiny progress and back down it goes. I'm not sure if the weightloss is what's been causing my pain, dizziness and heavy bleeding but I just want it gone. Went to the doctor to talk about this and she recommended me to go on birthcontrol and to a gynecologist who could help me decide. I've already talked to my doctor about my weight loss before this, gotten labs and test done but they can't find anything to explain my weightloss so this has become my last resort.
The weightloss has been very much affecting me, periods are painful but the confidence in my body is what really takes the toll on me. I used to have a nice curvy body, some chubb in my stomach, thick thighs, and nice boobs, all that I took pride in and felt beautiful in my body. Once I started to notice my weight drop I lost all of that, I now have a huge thigh gap, thin arms, flat tummy which doesn't bother me much but the fact that my ribcage is visible is a big insecurity, as well as my breast going from a large B cup/Mid C cup, to an A cup.
I really want my old body back, painless periods, and my confidence, just not sure what method is best and what kind I should take that will give me the results I want. I hope to be able to get on it during this summer, working out to maintain weight and be healthy, not giving too much, but just the right about, shooting for no more than 115. Praying to get my curves and large breast size, and that dizziness I dread gone. I hope to have a good experience on it. Feel free to ask any question and to give recommendations, opinions or even sharing experiences please and thank you!

2023.06.01 08:13 TossedSauce How do I support my gf struggling to lose weight?
Let me begin by pointing out she is not overweight but struggling with body dysmorphia and a history of anorexia. She had the past 3-4 years of not eating to stay skinny. Now that she is eating a healthy amount, she has gained some weight and does not fit in her clothes. She is diligently watching what she eats and works out 15-20 min a day doing some pilates.
I support her no matter what she does, i am attracted (and express that) no matter her figure but at the end of the day she still feels like a “whale” (her words not mine)
I have mentioned there’s probably a calibration period the body is undergoing coming off of near-starvation and to be patient. I cheer for her days working out and will give advice only if asked.
Recently she asked if she’s doing enough and I mentioned that 15-20 min workouts might not be enough to reach her goals and to shoot for 20-30 min eventually getting to an hour. Im thinking that most workout classes last an hour and that’s a good number to hit. She says she shouldn’t have to work out that much and that watching what you eat so often shouldnt be necessary evey day for the rest of her life
I would disagree; we humans need more than 20 min of exercise every 24hrs and maintain our health watching what we eat (maybe not religiously) but thats not the point.
I just want her to be happy in her own body .
Any takers here?!

2023.06.01 08:11 MCKtheMan How hard is it to sell a damn microwave??
I've had several interactions that have gone nowhere. I'm selling a microwave for $30 that I don't need anymore. It's still in great condition. I figured I'd get interested buyers. But here's every interaction I've had with this microwave.
#1: Wanted it for $25. I said yes and we had a time and location set up. But an hour before we were supposed to meet, she backed out saying she got a microwave somewhere else.
#2: Guy wanted it full price. I propose a location and suddenly he goes silent.
#3: Same thing. I propose a location. He goes silent.
#4: Guy wants it for $25. I say yes. He says he needs it tonight but I'm at work and can't get it to him in time.
#5: Girl wants it and asks for my address. Obviously, I'm not gonna do that so I pick a local business near my place and she stops responding. I have a sneaking suspicion she was planning to rob me.
Am I doing something wrong here?

2023.06.01 08:08 russell16688 As a more casual gamer I’m impressed and excited
I don’t game a whole lot but really enjoyed Diablo 3 with friends. I never pre order games but was excited for Diablo 4 once it was announced. Then nearly every other release started having issues with delays and issues on release day where servers didn’t work or the game wasn’t as expected alongside terrible reviews. This made me a little worried about having preordered the game.
Diablo seems to be bucking this trend with it being released on time, the betas and sever slams ironing out load issues and the generally glowing reviews of the game so far. I know there’s a large contingent who aren’t happy about elements of the game but to me as a more casual player I’m actually excited and feel like blizzard have done a decent job. Hopefully other games can learn from this and launch games well again.

2023.06.01 08:08 TaintedGodKiller Potentially Complex Question Regarding Vaping
So, I've been smoking for almost 10 years (I'm 22, 23rd birthday would make 10 years). Vaping for roughly 8 years, consistently vaping (like on a routine, daily basis) for 4-5 years.
I take on average 10-20 hits every time I feel the need to vape (which is on average 2 hours most of the time). Most of the time, in between but closer to 10 at least.
The question: How do I stop vaping considering my problems?
The problems: If I go roughly 6+ hours (in some cases 4 or less hours), I start feeling the common side effects. Irritability, anxiety, etc., but I also have a couple of other things that happen to me. My depression almost skyrockets which puts my mentality damn near instantaneously into very dark thoughts. I'd probably start having advanced if not severe panic attacks if I went any more than 2 full days without vaping, but I haven't tried experimenting with that because I'd rather not.
Basically, my problem summed up is that I can't go without vaping for much longer than a day without facing somewhat severe consequences. Like if I don't vape, I fear I will..."opt out" for better words in reference to the CDC scientist in TWD.
I've tried weaning off before, but it doesn't seem to work. Recently, I went through a few days of getting barely any nicotine and I relapsed to come back worse than what I have been.
The question 2.0: How do I stop vaping if I can't even wean off of it? I've tried taking nicotine tabs, but those things barely keep me sane even taking 2 at a time.
I feel at this point that whatever I try is hopeless.

2023.06.01 08:06 mayblum The Tale of Two Hospitals
So I scrapd my knee on some rusted aluminium sheet, it wasnt too bad, but the wound did draw some blood. After cleaning up and putting some ointment, I went to office. There is this big hospital near my office. It is a posh chain of hospitals and head quartered in Karnataka. I wont name them.
I show the wound to the nurse and tell her I need a tetanus injection. I am told I need a prescription and for that I have to make a hospital book and pay about Rs 500, besides waiting in queue to see the doc. So I came back to office and on my way home, I went to St Philomena's Hospital.
They had a duty doctor who immediately told the nurse to give me the injection without any payment reciept. After the shot I was told to go to the next room which was the cash counter and pay the large bank breaking sum of Rs 80/-. I came back to show them the receipt and they just glanced at it and told me to keep the would clean. They did offer to dress it, but I waived it off. Guess who was concerned about me and my well being and who was not. No prizes for guessing. End of the tale of two hospitals.

2023.06.01 08:06 Strengthwars Speculation on the Unknown Justice League Members
 | Do you ever lie awake at night wondering who those missing Justice League designations are in Season 4? No? Just me? Well, anyway-- submitted by Strengthwars to youngjustice [link] [comments] Young Justice: Phantoms told another satisfying story that reflected on and wrapped up threads connecting as far back as the first season while also doing some exciting new world-building (or galaxy-building on the cosmic side). One element of this included the expansion of the Justice League roster, which is a show staple and has happened every season. Invasion's five-year time skip added Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Black Lightning, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), Zatanna, and Rocket, even if Ted was dead by the time the season began. As the galactic efforts of the team expanded, Outsiders' shorter two-year time skip brought about a much bigger expansion with ten members. Even though we never got to see Fire or Magog, even by Phantoms, we did learn about their place on the League by the end of the third season. Alas, the fourth, despite giving us some info and clues, did not reveal the full list of the expanded roster by the end of its run. Here's what we know:
Jay is probably 44 and joined outside the other six. The first thing to acknowledge is which character has that mysterious 38 slot preceding Cyborg. That slot means that the first hero to join the League after Season 3, assuming they joined alongside Vic, was someone who had become a hero prior to February 2019. Obviously, Jay Garrick became a hero quite a bit earlier, in 1940 to be exact, and was a founding member of the Justice Society of America. We learn in Season 4's "Leviathan Wakes" that he has become a member of the more modern Justice League and see him on his very first mission nearly two months later in the next episode. These time discrepancies are odd, but Jay is a long-time hero and it's not unreasonable to hazard that he may have joined outside of the normal League recruitment schedule. They no doubt would have been happy to accommodate him at his own pace. This, plus the fact that his first mission wasn't until August 2020 when we know the main recruitment wave happened prior to February, leads me to suspect that Jay joined more recently compared to the mentioned episodes and that he is designated 44. It's possible that he's 38, but that would eliminate all the interesting possibilities of longer-standing heroes who may have become Leaguers by the fourth season... Rocket Red (Dmitri Pushkin) Dmitri is a Justice League member in the comics and we saw him don his Rocket Red armor for the first time during Season 3's "Leverage", set on November 17th, 2018 -- a few months prior to Vic's becoming Cyborg. Now, the Rocket Red Brigade in YJ is a Russian superhero organization and Dmitri especially doesn't take kindly to American espionage/intervention. He wants to rival the Justice League, not join it... at least at that time. Could he have changed his mind in the following year or so? Perhaps. I'll circle back to this for my next idea, but in the credits scene of “Beyond the Grip of the Gods!” in Season 4, we see Black Lightning and Superman discussing the forthcoming Justice League Reserves and a screen displaying potential recruits. In addition to this, Superman notes that "Russia has more Rocket Reds" as an idea for further recruitment. His use of more is interesting, as it potentially signifies that there is already a Rocket Red within their circles. However, given Dmitri's characterization from what little we saw of him and what we know the Rocket Red Brigade's nationalist goals seem to be here, it's equally possible and perhaps more likely that the "more" simply refers to the membership beyond Dmitri and his superior, Olga Ilyich, whom all the heroes would have learned about in Season 3, given that it was a Team mission reporting to the League. Perhaps a Rocket Red or two made it into the Reserves, but I'm betting the 38 designation actually belongs to a different character... Robotman Many of you may know Cliff Steele/Robotman from the acclaimed Doom Patrol show, and he made his first true appearance in Season 4's "Emergency Dive" after an illusion of sorts in the third season. In YJ, Robotman was a founding member of the Doom Patrol in 2011 and died with the rest of his crew in 2015. In Season 3, during an episode set in 2018, Beast Boy's dream sequence seems to indicate that he still believes Robotman to be dead. But Robotman is a living human brain stuck in a metal body, and we learn in the fourth season that said robot head was recovered and that Cliff has slowly been working himself out of the depression stemming from losing his team and spending years at the bottom of a river. Whether that's the exact timeline of events is a bit in question, but we know that by Season 4, Robotman is up and running and ready to help Gar despite still facing struggles. Cliff is not typically a Justice League member in other mediums, but neither is Zatara, Rocket, or Magog. One of the best things about YJ is how it remixes and reimagines typical continuity, and in the world of Earth-16 where the League is the premiere superhero organization that it is, it makes sense that they'd properly take in Robotman. We know that he's able to utilize Black Canary's mental health services, as he is a key example she brings up in "Death and Rebirth" as to why she wants to organize a proper sanctuary for struggling heroes who need to work on themselves. Given his ties to the hero community in 2020, I find it strange that Cliff would not be featured on this screen: The pictured Justice League Reserve candidates in “Beyond the Grip of the Gods!” Black Lightning and Superman conveniently cover up two of the slots, but it seems far more likely that was done to avoid showing characters the creative team didn't have designs for rather than the ones they did, don't you think? So my question is, if Robotman is so connected to the superhero community as they support his recovery, why would he not be on speed dial for the next crisis via this Reserves setup? Or at least be in contention? I think a very likely answer is that Robotman cannot be a Reserve member because he is already a regular member of the Justice League, specifically under designation 38, as he debuted in 2011 and would have joined alongside Cyborg. While he's still on a journey of recovery, Robotman seems up and running enough (pun intended) by Season 4 that I don't think it's too much of a stretch to propose that he's joined the team proper. But beyond that elusive 38 slot, I do have one more guess to propose as to another member of Cyborg's wave who could have become a hero after him... S.T.R.I.P.E. In Season 3, we are introduced to teenage interview show host Courtney Whitmore. Sometime during 2019, she acquired a Cosmic Staff and became Stargirl, as we see her as a member of the Outsiders during Season 4. For anyone familiar with Courtney's DC Universe/CW show, you'll know that Courtney is a legacy hero and that her uncle, Pat Dugan, is a critical part of that journey. Pat was a sidekick back in his younger days and, in the comics and Stargirl show, suits up in a robotic suit of armor as an adult to aid Courtney as her sidekick. Thanks to the recent Young Justice: Targets tie-in comic series showing us Green Arrow flashbacks to 2010 and the time frame of Season 1, we know that Pat Dugan and his old mentor Sylvester Pemberton exist... as Star City traffic reporters rather than heroes (at least at that time). It seems like Courtney's E-16 legacy may be more of a media one than a heroic one, but her Stargirl persona persists and so it's not impossible that her uncle may have his suit as well. While it's far from assured, Pat is a character we now know is around, and given that he'd be becoming active after Cyborg and that he and Courtney are often a package deal, I think it would be interesting if S.T.R.I.P.E. was one of the members who joined the League between Seasons 3 and 4. ... If anyone out there was courageous enough to read all of that, I commend you for your patience and appreciate your shared interest. I love this world and its rich characters, history, and mystery, and given the sub's rising subscriber numbers, I know I'm not alone. So if you're mighty curious as to who else may have joined the Justice League between seasons, I would love to hear your thoughts below. Remember, most of them are likely newer heroes, so your answers are welcome to range from why a new character like Vixen might work well in the current context of the show, to why a deep-cut Season 1 cameo like Pieter Cross may have only recently become Doctor Midnight and joined the big League. You don't have to read all of the above, I'd just love to hear your thoughts! tl;dr: In addition to Cyborg, a fourth Earth Green Lantern, Jay Garrick's Flash, and La'gaan's Aquaman, there are FOUR unknown Justice Leaguers who joined the team before or during Season 4. Based on the points above or your own theorizing, who do you think those heroes might be? |
2023.06.01 08:05 gynolurker9000 Gyno surgery and experience - 1 day post operation - Braithwaite
https://imgur.com/a/xJOBUXO before
https://imgur.com/a/FcOg0zW after
Background: Currently mid 30s, 5'10 and 150 lbs , struggled with gyno for a good 10+years (acne/scarring is another issue but honestly does not bother me as much). Used to lift seriously (weight 200+) but stopped in recent years. I never seriously considered gyno surgery as it is expensive and I felt that cutting out a portion of my tissue would somehow cause me to die much earlier so was never really motivated to pursue the surgery. I have tried stand alone cycles of SERMs (Nolva and Ralox) with varying results. Ultimately the gyno always came back even if there was some minor benefit from the cycles so I knew it was unsustainable in the long run.
I shopped around for quotes from the top rated mentioned surgeons on reddit and most of the quotes were really high ($10k-$16k...). I felt that my case was minor and didn't want to spend that much on something I wasn't that passionate about. I eventually came upon posts from others who have went with Dr. Braithwaite (Chicago) and was shocked that the price was so low (most quotes I seen were ~$2-3k range). The before/afters looked great so I went ahead and ended up getting a virtual consultation with Dr. Braithwaite and got a quote after a brief video call confirming my gyno ($3,200 total for gyno surgery + minor lipo; my cost is on the lower end as my case is not major). The main reason the surgery price is lower than most is because there is only local anesthesia administered. I had my consult mid March and was able to book my appointment for end of May. Overall out of pocket cost for me was the cost of my flights, one night hotel stay, and any public transport to and from the airport (I flew in to O'Hare, you can easily take public transport and walk if you want to save cash). I became ultra paranoid that someone was brush into me cause me to bleed internally so I ended up just taking Uber on the way back.
Office visit: I arrived early the day of surgery and waited until my surgery time slot to see the Dr. Based on his assessment, the Dr. indicated that he would also lipo a portion of my upper chest near my armpit as I had some irregular fat stores there (probably because I used to be much bigger).
The surgery itself was fine. The Dr. and his staff were very friendly. The most painful portion of the surgery was the initial shots to administer the local anesthesia, especially into sensitive tissue. All of the surgical work was done through the incisions made on my areola. The fat was first all scraped out to more easily separate the gland. The scraping was a bit uncomfortable especially as some of the fat taken near my armpit area was not fully numb but that was to be expected. The most mentally horrifying part of the surgery was the gland removal. The gland is removed and cauterized at the same time, so from a sensory perspective you can hear the revving of the cauterizer, smell your tissue being cooked from the cauterizer as it is also being carved from your body, and you can see the smoke (or vapor from the cauterizer) from your gland being burned. The combination caused me to freak out internally so I closed my eyes and focused on breathing through my mouth. Only other odd portions is sometimes you get shocked or slight burn from the cauterizer as the local anesthesia isn't perfect but if you are in pain the Dr. adjusts. The surgery was certainly not quick but overall I think it went smooth (not that I have any other experience). The resulting gland removal was pretty big for me relatively as my body is overall small. Not much fat was removed as I guess my chest before had a small amount of fat and gland in the worst positions to cause my chest to just look disgusting. Note that there are no drainage tubes here with as the thought process here is that the fluids will naturally dissipate over time and avoids the risk of drainage tubes/additional aspirations needed. Seromas forming is part of the healing process - I am not OCD and based on my reading of everyone's experiences, I understand I may have scar tissue or false alarms that the gland has come back, but in looking at my nipples I do not think there is much chance my glands can make a comeback unless I started blasting.
The follow up appointment was the next day to mainly see if there was any internal bleeding. I was very worried the night before as my armpit area became more bloody and filled with fluid, but the Dr. assured me that was normal from lipo and it was only filling because the compression vest was constricting the fluids. I ended up having some foam inserts added to the armpit area to attempt to alleviate the constriction from my armpit area.
Results: The before photo is the morning before the operation. The after photo is the day after. Most important things to note from the after photo is that my bottom chest looks indented because that is where the compression vest is most compacted/ends. Also the chest right above the indent is actually filled with fluid- that isn't my actual pec (I am swollen, not swole). I am confident this will even out once the fluid disappears as based on even the current look, I should be able to wear anything I want once I heal so I'm not worried if there is a small imperfection that may remain after all is said and done. I just want to heal as fast as possible and not get caught up in the details before the process finishes. I trust the process and know that healing will take months. The look of my areolas is already a night and day difference
Feel free to ask me any questions, I have still yet to process what a change this is but I am already pretty sure this is going to be one of the best things I have ever done for myself. There simply isn't a better price point for quality that I am aware of for a US gyno specialist. Right now my main concern is to avoid getting any hematomas because dealing with that would be too stressful, so I am trying to avoid going outside and just taking it easy for the next week.

Background: Currently mid 30s, 5'10 and 150 lbs , struggled with gyno for a good 10+years (acne/scarring is another issue but honestly does not bother me as much). Used to lift seriously (weight 200+) but stopped in recent years. I never seriously considered gyno surgery as it is expensive and I felt that cutting out a portion of my tissue would somehow cause me to die much earlier so was never really motivated to pursue the surgery. I have tried stand alone cycles of SERMs (Nolva and Ralox) with varying results. Ultimately the gyno always came back even if there was some minor benefit from the cycles so I knew it was unsustainable in the long run.
I shopped around for quotes from the top rated mentioned surgeons on reddit and most of the quotes were really high ($10k-$16k...). I felt that my case was minor and didn't want to spend that much on something I wasn't that passionate about. I eventually came upon posts from others who have went with Dr. Braithwaite (Chicago) and was shocked that the price was so low (most quotes I seen were ~$2-3k range). The before/afters looked great so I went ahead and ended up getting a virtual consultation with Dr. Braithwaite and got a quote after a brief video call confirming my gyno ($3,200 total for gyno surgery + minor lipo; my cost is on the lower end as my case is not major). The main reason the surgery price is lower than most is because there is only local anesthesia administered. I had my consult mid March and was able to book my appointment for end of May. Overall out of pocket cost for me was the cost of my flights, one night hotel stay, and any public transport to and from the airport (I flew in to O'Hare, you can easily take public transport and walk if you want to save cash). I became ultra paranoid that someone was brush into me cause me to bleed internally so I ended up just taking Uber on the way back.
Office visit: I arrived early the day of surgery and waited until my surgery time slot to see the Dr. Based on his assessment, the Dr. indicated that he would also lipo a portion of my upper chest near my armpit as I had some irregular fat stores there (probably because I used to be much bigger).
The surgery itself was fine. The Dr. and his staff were very friendly. The most painful portion of the surgery was the initial shots to administer the local anesthesia, especially into sensitive tissue. All of the surgical work was done through the incisions made on my areola. The fat was first all scraped out to more easily separate the gland. The scraping was a bit uncomfortable especially as some of the fat taken near my armpit area was not fully numb but that was to be expected. The most mentally horrifying part of the surgery was the gland removal. The gland is removed and cauterized at the same time, so from a sensory perspective you can hear the revving of the cauterizer, smell your tissue being cooked from the cauterizer as it is also being carved from your body, and you can see the smoke (or vapor from the cauterizer) from your gland being burned. The combination caused me to freak out internally so I closed my eyes and focused on breathing through my mouth. Only other odd portions is sometimes you get shocked or slight burn from the cauterizer as the local anesthesia isn't perfect but if you are in pain the Dr. adjusts. The surgery was certainly not quick but overall I think it went smooth (not that I have any other experience). The resulting gland removal was pretty big for me relatively as my body is overall small. Not much fat was removed as I guess my chest before had a small amount of fat and gland in the worst positions to cause my chest to just look disgusting. Note that there are no drainage tubes here with as the thought process here is that the fluids will naturally dissipate over time and avoids the risk of drainage tubes/additional aspirations needed. Seromas forming is part of the healing process - I am not OCD and based on my reading of everyone's experiences, I understand I may have scar tissue or false alarms that the gland has come back, but in looking at my nipples I do not think there is much chance my glands can make a comeback unless I started blasting.
The follow up appointment was the next day to mainly see if there was any internal bleeding. I was very worried the night before as my armpit area became more bloody and filled with fluid, but the Dr. assured me that was normal from lipo and it was only filling because the compression vest was constricting the fluids. I ended up having some foam inserts added to the armpit area to attempt to alleviate the constriction from my armpit area.
Results: The before photo is the morning before the operation. The after photo is the day after. Most important things to note from the after photo is that my bottom chest looks indented because that is where the compression vest is most compacted/ends. Also the chest right above the indent is actually filled with fluid- that isn't my actual pec (I am swollen, not swole). I am confident this will even out once the fluid disappears as based on even the current look, I should be able to wear anything I want once I heal so I'm not worried if there is a small imperfection that may remain after all is said and done. I just want to heal as fast as possible and not get caught up in the details before the process finishes. I trust the process and know that healing will take months. The look of my areolas is already a night and day difference
Feel free to ask me any questions, I have still yet to process what a change this is but I am already pretty sure this is going to be one of the best things I have ever done for myself. There simply isn't a better price point for quality that I am aware of for a US gyno specialist.

2023.06.01 08:04 IsleVegan Electrical requirements for several mini split units
Greetings,
I have purchased 3 x 12k BTU 240 volt units to be used for an upgrade.
The existing outdoor HVAC unit is likely original to 1989. It appears to be powered by a run of approximately 25 feet of what I believe to be 10 gauge wire.
North side of the house: I am hoping that I can power two of the mini split heat pumps with that 10 gauge wiring. I believe the tied 30 am breakers in the middle of the breaker box go to the original condenser.
South side of the house, near the main breaker box: I would use the spaces and possibly the breakers labeled SPA to power at least one 12k btu unit on the south side of the house. A second unit would be required to make the whole building comfortable. I would like to put in a subpanel that would eventually serve two 12k btu units.
Can I run two of these units on the wiring used for the original condenser? I hope to get all of the wiring and systems fully installed in parallel to the original system then switching the supply circuit to a sub panel serving two units when everything else that can be done is completed.
If anyone wishes for me to clarify anything please feel free to ask.
Thank you.

2023.06.01 08:04 trans_Kirishima I never thought I'd need advice on this... (Vent)
So I've been out as a trans man to my family for 5 years now (I'm 17) and my mother has jumped back and forth from being really accepting, like calling me son, and jumping to really really anti trans by telling me misinformation about testosterone and how every girl my age is now a trans man and that it's a trend. She is always super accepting after telling me something so insanely awful that I had to tell her that the things I experience as a transgender man are pushing me to the point of near suicide and she just doesn't care and will tell me the most awful things. I almost had to call the police for fear of suicide about a week ago because she informed me that my state can no longer give hormone blockers to minors. I told her how because of my birth control which I medically need because of my pmdd (premenstrual dysphoria disorder), has caused me to gain weight in places that are really really dysphoria inducing and she just told me that isn't real and that if I'm thinking about taking testosterone, that I should know it makes you super angry because steroids do that to men. When I tried to explain those aren't the same thing, she just shut me down and said "of course they are, you're just reading stupid sources." I am so insanely scared of her now because I can't tell if I accidentally mention having gender dysphoria one more time she will scream and yell and disown me, or even worse, hurt me. What should I do when I turn 18 in a year? Because I live in a state where I'll be over 20 by the time I can even afford renting someplace, but also a mostly LGBTQ+ friendly state.. none of my friends parents can either afford to feed me, or don't like trans people.. what do I do?..

2023.06.01 08:02 Successful_Bag3832 She was my 10/4rubberducky kinda go getter
She was this and so much more. Tires are hard when your emotional and just want to figure out your insides. My spirit animal is a turtle so I have taken it upon myself to be strong through my divorce. She has no knowledge of the 8 months I spend homeless in Neeport news Virginia. What I had to do to survive. She was living it up while I’m being preyed upon. Non the less she finally decided to leave me alone and now I can finally get back on my feet! I’m buying a truck next week, and putting a down payment on a place to live! I have phone service now on a iPhone 12!!! Super great news. She ruined my life for about. I just know that god is here for the wicked as well. She needs help and I do too. Things could have been so amazing though she decided to treat me like I was a mental punching bag that she had sex with. She was so kind and generous though in the end she wasn’t which made me homeless… but debts had to be paid at the end of the day. I truest love that woman and honestly if she walked into a room I was in I’d go straight into cardiac arrest and I have an undated DNR for cardiac issues. Hopefully she’s careful if she comes near me because the new me found that he likes to be alive and loves to love the ways people prefer to revive it within rational expression. I love you all and hope you find the support you need within this wild rollercoaster of life and subreddit. 555

2023.06.01 08:02 UnarmedHandshake Vyvanse makes me feel ‘jittery’ sometimes?
Sorry if this isn’t allowed here - not looking for medical advice!!
So basically, when I take my Vyvanse, I sometimes get a bit short of breath and my hands get shaky, and I tend to feel pretty anxious with this (not sure if it’s because of the meds or the side effects making me anxious - I’ve also been diagnosed with anxiety).
I’ve been taking it for about a year now, and I’m honestly not sure if this has been happening the whole time or just the past few months.
I very rarely drink coffee (basically never!) and I usually try to take the Vyvanse with food, although I don’t think it makes much of a difference for me. Taking it without food definitely makes it a lot worse, but whether I take it before or after food doesn’t seem to affect it.
Could this mean my dose is too high? I’ve been taking the 50mg dose nearly the entire time and I don’t usually take breaks because I have stuff to do most days, although it honestly doesn’t seem to be as effective anymore. I’m not able to see a doctor about this unfortunately, as much as I’d like too :(
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you :)

2023.06.01 08:01 Standard-Pizza5419 Does this nosebleed warrant trip to ER?
Age: 27 Gender: Female Race: white 5’4”, 133lbs duration of complaint: two years medications: none, just got off Prozac a about a month ago for PPD. History of nosebleeds, especiallly near menstruation.
HEAVY nosebleed tonight about an hour after a minor nosebleed. Third nosebleed of the night. First one began at 7:30 pm, second at 11:30, and current one at 12:35 am. The last two occurred during sleep. This current one has a Heavy flow of blood until I passed a clot the size and width of my thumb. It’s slowing down since passing the clot, but still bleeding. It’s been 16 minutes.
I only get nosebleeds out of one nostril, and had it cauterized last year. My ENT told me to spray a few squirts of Afrin into a tissue and put it in my nostril to stop bleeding. Did the Afrin trick with the 7:30pm one
Nosebleeds started pretty consistently after my dog and I collided and she hit my nose a few summers ago.

2023.06.01 08:01 DeAshZ Contractual MO, pressured to work while underpaid
It has been nearly a year since I started as a contractual MO at provincial hospital level II, tbh, for 4.2k per 24h duty, the work in the emergency room has been so toxic that I basically run out of energy to have other duties at other private hospitals with higher pay and no waiting. I started the work there just to earn a decent living like any starting Moonlighting MD, with 0 assets, 1st Gen and a solo bread winner, yet despite all of the honest work It has been so difficult to be given an MO III position despite available plantilia due to power play. I'm very thankful for the experience and the kick start this hospital has provided me at the start of my career. But I now see it as a scheme of cheap labor with no proper compensation. I'm sad to leave the department but honestly I'd have stayed if the Admin have shown little appreciation or at least a recommendation. 😞

2023.06.01 08:00 Outside_Ad_9691 [Tinkers Construct 2/3] For those who didn't know: Tinkers Construct lets you get a lot of utility and usefulness out of just ordinary Stone.
When I play games, I sometimes try to make the strongest tools/armobuilds possible out of the cheapest materials possible. This is expecially useful early game, when you want to become very powerful very quickly and you don't have access to more expensive or rarer tools/weapons/armomaterials. This post will teach you how to do that with Tinkers Construct.
Now, there are two versions of Tinkers Construct that I've interacted with: Tinkers Construct 2 and Tinkers Construct 3. I've played lots of 1.12 modpacks, so TiCon 2 is what I'm most familiar with. In contrast, I've only just recently started playing newer modpacks (such as ones for 1.16 and 1.18) so I've only had a small exposure to TiCon 3 and am not as familiar with it. Anyway, let me start with Tinkers Construct 2:
Tinkers Construct 2 Stone Tips
Here are 5 powerful tips relating to Stone:
Another final tip: Obviously this Pickaxe mines relatively slowly, being made out of Stone and all. There are ways to circumvent this, however. For one, you can use Restone to add the Haste trait to your tool (not recommended, as I prefer to use my Modifier slots to add other useful traits to my Pickaxe; slower mining speed doesn't bother me anyway). Alternatively, you can use Veinminer or OreExcavation or FTB Ultimine. These let you mine large amounts of blocks, provided that they're connected and are made from the same material. VeinMiner or its equivalent are available in most modpacks, so if I'm mining Obsidian, I can just hold down the button I assigned to OreExcavation/VeinMineetc., and when I break the Obsidan block, the other Obsdian blocks near it come up as well. this saves a lot of time and makes up for the slow mining speed. That's why when I play most modpacks, having slow mining speed usually doesn't bother me.
Those are all the tips I had for TiCon 2. Now, on to TiCon 3:
Well, that's it. That's all the ways that I can think of getting really strong in TiCon focusing primarily on Stone. I hope this guide is useful to you all!

Tinkers Construct 2 Stone Tips
Here are 5 powerful tips relating to Stone:
- You can mine anything with Stone: You may be thinking, "No you can't! Stone tools can at most mine up to a Block of Iron and that's it." Well, normally that's true, but you can change that. Suppose you've made a Tinkers Pickaxe with a Stone Pickaxe Head. Currently, you only have an Iron Mining Level. But if you combine an Obsidian Sharpening Kit with a piece of Flint in a Tool Station/Tool Forge, you can upgrade your Pickaxe's Mining Level from Iron to Cobalt, which I believe is the highest one possible. This can be easily done from the start of the game.
- Easy repairs: As you can guess, a Stone-headed tool can be repaired with a Stone Sharpening Kit. "Yeah? So what?" Well, we've just made a pickaxe that can mine just about any material in the game. Plus, Tinkers tools don't disappear when broken like vanilla Minecraft tools; when they break, all you have to do it repair it and it works like new. When you combine these three facts together, you can see the whole picture: we have a pickaxe that can mine even Obsidian, that can be repaired whenever it breaks, and can be repaired with Stone or Cobblestone, which are the easiest resources to obtain in bulk in the whole game. And you can craft such a pickaxe early on in the game. Wow, now that's powerful! Anyway, to make repairing even easier, you can carry both a Part Builder and a Sharpening Kit Pattern with you in your inventory as you go mining for easy repairing on the go. I know that you can just make a stack of Stone Sharpening Kits to carry with you in your inventory, but if you're planning on going on extensive mining expeditions, even a stack of Sharpening Kits might not be enough for you (especially with a Stone Pickaxe Head), so you might need to take the whole Part Builder table with you. Anyway, speaking of long mining expeditions, one of the problems you may constantly be dealing with is darkness, because if you're mining for a long time, you may bump into lots of caves, which are usually poorly lit. Luckily, Stone can be used to shed a little light on the situation...
- Stone torches: Normally, Torches are made with a Stick and piece of Coal/Charcoal. But you can make Torches with Cobblestone instead. Firstly, put two Cobblestone pieces in a crafting table, one directly above the other. Now you have 4 Stone Rods. These Stone Rods can be used with Coal/Charcoal in order to make Stone Torches. Stone Torches are like regular Torches, except for their appearance and the recipe required to make them. But why would you want to make Stone Torches? Well, to make regular Torches, you need sticks, which require wood, which requires a tree, which requires you to surface/leave the caves. Now if you're on an extended mining expedition, you are probably too busy to want to stop and go all the way back to the surface just to make Torches. With Stone Torches, you can make Torches with both Stone and Coal - things you can both find in caves - removing the need to return to the surface. Now, having enough light sources to light your way is a must for extended journeys in Minecraft. Another is having enough food to be able to survive the journey in the first place. But how can Stone help us solve this problem?
- Pig Iron lets you eat Stone: Yes, it's true. Well, sort of. Pig Iron is a special alloy that allows you to EAT whatever Tinkers tool has it as one of its components. It's relatively easy to make in the beginning of the game, too. It's an alloy of Iron, Clay and Blood. Blood comes from smelting Rotten Flesh. If you don't have any Rotten Flesh, you can just have a creature walk into your Smeltery and take damage, thus causing it to bleed out a bit right into your Smeltery setup. It could be any creature, like a Pig, Sheep. or even...yourself (but not a Villager though; that just gets you Liquid Emerald, I think). But if you want to jump into your Smeltery and burn yourself alive for a bit, you can at least be safe about it. Firstly, you can have your health at max to be able to survive the damage. Next, you can build your Smeltery to be very shallow. To do this, you first build a 3x3 base. Then you build 4 walls surrounding the outside edge of the base. Each of the walls are 3 blocks long and only 1 block high. With one-block high walls, you can easily jump into/out of the Smeltery at will, to avoid burning yourself alive. Note that there must actually be something in the Smeltery for you to burn yourself with in the first place; you should first burn an Iron Ingot to produce Molten Iron, then jump into the molten metal to be able to be burned by something. Anyway, let me explain how Pig Iron lets you eat Stone. First, you make it so that the Head/main part of your Tinkers tool/weapon is made out of Stone and make one of the other parts out of Pig Iron. Then, whenever you're hold the tool in your main/offhand and lose some of your hunger bar, you begin to automatically start to nibble on your tool until your Hunger bar is topped off. This uses up some durability, of course. But remember, Stone tools are easy to repair. In this manner, you practically have access to infinite food. Now, granted, you only get back 0.5 Hunger per bite (thus allowing you to restore health rather slowly), and this "food" offers no Saturation, but infinite free food is infinite free food, so none of that other stuff matters much (not to me, at least). Now if you TRULY want infinite free food, you can just make a Tinkers tool with 5 Modifiers. This can easily be done by replacing at least some of the tool's parts with Paper to get extra modifiers (or another material that gives extra Modifiers, like Livingwood from the Botania mod). Then you can make the tool Unbreakable, thus allowing you to have ACTUAL free infinite food (because the tool can never be damaged again [Except with some materials like Extra Utilities 2's Magical Wood, which make your tool Magically Brittle], thus preventing it from losing durability whenever it feeds you). {Note: Not all modpacks lets you do this; in some modpacks I've played (can't remember which), once a tool/weapon is made Unbreakable, Pig Iron's Tasty trait stops working for some reason. This is probably done on purpose, because infinite free food is probably seen as too overpowered and needs to be stopped.) One of the Tinkers weapons I like to do this with is the Shuriken. Speaking of the Shuriken, that leads me to my next point.
- Stone lets you create a Meal-Shield-Weapon: "What the heck is a Meal-Shield-Weapon?" Well, it's a term that I just made up. Let me tell you what it means. First of all, the term is sort of self-explanatory; it's an item that operates as a meal, shield and weapon all at once. A Tinkers Shuriken can operate in such a manner. Here's how you build it: Firstly, a Tinkers Shuriken is basically a 4-point ninja star, with each point being a Knife Blade. To make a Shuriken into a Meal-Shield-Weapon, make three of the blades out of Pig Iron, Stone and Wood (the Stone is for easy repairs and the Wood is for auto-repair via the Ecological trait). The fourth blade can be made out of any material you wish, though there are some materials I recommend (but we'll discuss that later). Now, how do this Shuriken work as a Meal-Shield-Weapon? Well, it operates as a Meal because it auto feeds you. It is a Weapon, because, well, it is a weapon and meant primarily to do damage. It is a Shield because it can be held and operated from the offhand and lets you block damage. It doesn't block damage in the traditional way, but it does let you block damage by auto-healing you, thus allowing to restore health. In my opinion, auto-regen and blocking damage with a shield are technically the same thing because they accomplish the same task; both are designed to keep your health from dropping too low (I use the same tactic in other games, like Final Fantasy 5. I don't equip my characters with shields because I like to dual wield weapons. Instead, I equip all my guys with Protect Rings, which give auto-regen). Anyway, I said I was going to tell you what you could make the 4th blade out of, so let me do that: Restonia is a material from Actually Additions mod. This material has the Hearts trait, which lets you do 70% extra damage at full health (and staying at full health is easy due to Pig Iron's Tasty trait. By the way, Pig Iron also has Baconlicious, which makes blocks/enemies sometimes drop Bacon - another way to keep your health up). Bone is good, as it does a lot of damage for such a cheap material. Cactus is a good defensive material, as it helps you attack enemies from a distance via automatic retaliation, this lets you deal with skeletons a bit more easily. End Stone is good, because it helps you fight Enderman via the Enderference trait; this trait allows you to attack Endermen with any weapon (even a projectile weapon, which the Shuriken obviously is), and keeps them from teleporting for a short time. But if you happen to come across a lot of Gold early game (at least 10 ingots worth, or just 5 Gold Ore Blocks which can be transformed in the Smeltery into 10 ingots), then that 4th blade should be made into Paper; this usually gives you 5 Modifiers. All you need now is 5 Blank Gold Casts and 40 Obsidian to make 5 Reinforcement Modifiers and make your Shuriken Unbreakable.
Another final tip: Obviously this Pickaxe mines relatively slowly, being made out of Stone and all. There are ways to circumvent this, however. For one, you can use Restone to add the Haste trait to your tool (not recommended, as I prefer to use my Modifier slots to add other useful traits to my Pickaxe; slower mining speed doesn't bother me anyway). Alternatively, you can use Veinminer or OreExcavation or FTB Ultimine. These let you mine large amounts of blocks, provided that they're connected and are made from the same material. VeinMiner or its equivalent are available in most modpacks, so if I'm mining Obsidian, I can just hold down the button I assigned to OreExcavation/VeinMineetc., and when I break the Obsidan block, the other Obsdian blocks near it come up as well. this saves a lot of time and makes up for the slow mining speed. That's why when I play most modpacks, having slow mining speed usually doesn't bother me.
Those are all the tips I had for TiCon 2. Now, on to TiCon 3:
- First of all, you can forget about the Shuriken. They don't exist anymore. Well, they do, but they've been transformed into cheap throwaway consumable items. You have Flint ones for Knockback and Quartz ones for damage. That's it. They're not regular weapons anymore, and can't be upgraded with Modifiers. This is possibly do to the fact that Shuriken can be OP, so that particular weapon had to be nerfed to the ground.
- Therefore, we need only to focus on the Pickaxe. Obviously, we still make the head out of Stone (well, it's called Rock now). But what about the Tool Handle and Tool Binding?
- Let's start with the Tool Handle. We should make it out of something durable. But what? Three good early options are Wood, Whitestone and Slimewood. Wood no longer allows for auto-heal via Ecological, but instead wood now has the trait Cultivated, which lets you restore 50% more durability whenever you repair it. Or if you have Botania installed, you can spring for Living wood instead of regular wood. Livingwood has the trait called...well, Livingwood. This trait is similar to Cultivated, but repair materials are 75% more effective instead. Whitestone is good, too. It gives your tool the Stoneshield trait: Stoneshield adds a second durability meter, and when you mine Stone, sometimes that Stone is consumed and then added to the Stoneshield meter. Then when you use the tool again, you can randomly use the Stoneshield meter's durability instead of regular durability. Whitestone is made from... well, white stone, AKA End Stone. End Stone can be easily obtained early in some modpacks. But if not, there are alternative ways to make Whitestone: you just pour molten metals onto a Rock tool part in a Casting Table - metals like Tin, Aluminum of Zinc. Slimewood lets you do the same thing with Overslime, which lends you a second slimy durability bar with, I believe, a minimum value of 50 points (or more, depending on the number of tools parts have the Overslime trait. This meter can also have more points based multiplying 50 by the tool's base durability multiplier). Slimewood is made by pouring Slime on a Wood Tool Part. Slimewood also has the Overgrowth ability, which makes your tool slowly regenerate its Overslime meter. So now your tool has THREE ways you can repair it: Rock Repair Kits, Slime Balls, and auto-repair. A good fourth material could be Pig Iron, but I'll discuss that later.
- What about the tool binding? Well, in this version of TiCon, the Tool Binding doesn't affect the stats of the tool in any way, meaning it doesn't affect the tool's durability. It just adds traits instead. So here, you can add relatively low durability materials if you want. You can use any of the materials from above, or you can use a Chain for the Reinforced I Modifier, letting your Pickaxe take 25% less damage.
- Based on the info from above, a cool idea would be to have a Stone Pickaxe Head, a Whitestone/Chain Tool Binding and a Slimewood/Pig Iron Tool Handle.
- Actually, I think I have a better idea: Keep the Rock Pickaxe Head, but make the other two parts into Pig Iron. Pig Iron is different now. Pig Iron tools don't auto-feed you anymore; you have to hold right-click in order to eat them (plus I don't think Baconlicious is a trait anymore, either). But the trade-off is that they heal more. Each level of Tasty restores 1 Hunger and 0.1 Saturation. So with two Pig Iron Tool Parts, we have Tasty II, which restores 2 Hunger per bite and 0.2 Saturation as well. This is the best early game pickaxe possible: it restores a decent amount of Hunger (at least, for an item that's normally not supposed to be edible) and can easily be repaired.
- Oh yeah! I almost forgot about mining levels! Well, the highest mining level now is not Cobalt, but Netherite. To boost out Pick to this mining level, we need to first apply either the Diamond or Emerald Modifiers. I prefer Diamond, if you have to choose; this boosts your mining level to Diamond (which seems to be one below Netherite) and gives us 500+ extra durability (in contrast, Emerald only adds 50% extra durablity and gives us an Iron mining level). Only then can we apply the Netherite Modifier. This requires 1 Netherite Ingot, which isn't really an early game material, unless your particular modpack allows you to get it early for some reason; in that case, you can just add on the Emerald Modifier anyway, instead. Of course, if you can afford it, you should add all three Modifiers to your Pickaxe; you durability will then shoot through the roof.
Well, that's it. That's all the ways that I can think of getting really strong in TiCon focusing primarily on Stone. I hope this guide is useful to you all!

Hello, could someone help me with generating an image? I want midjourney to generate a man, who’s right side of the body symbolizes Health (laughing, healthy colour etc.) and the left side symbolizes sickness and exhaustion (unhappy, unhealthy, nearly colourless skin etc.). Both sides seperated optically by a thin line.
I just can’t get the right prompt to tell midjourney what I want. German commands for Midjourney don’t work well an my Englisch isn’t that good, so maybe someone could help me?

I’ll give you a brief backstory, basically my partner and I had our ups and down but being apart while dating gave me time to debrief and unwind if it’s been a particularly stressful day, days, weeks. I could tell you how many times we have broken up, each time I would say “I don’t accept and if you still feel the same way tomorrow then I will respect your wishes”
But when we wanted to get a place to rent together she insisted that she had to move out of her place asap as it was too hard for her to be so stressed. So she moved into my place. With the market in rentals being near impossible to find a place we didn’t find any for ages but the trouble is my place isn’t huge and I was unable to get away from the moods, and tension that fills the room, the walking on eggshells. I have had some pretty horrible relationships in the past so I know I am reactive to to these moods and the unstable nature of it all, I can’t have my friends over, I can’t have my daughters friends over, my daughter has to be not too loud. This led me to not feel comfortable to move out to a shared place.
This has created a lot of tension, she needs to know the relationship is progressing to feel secure, and I need to feel secure before progressing. It’s a shitty paradigm to have.
Ultimately we have set a date 2 months to try and adjust how we are, I know I have things to change and improve on, and so does my partner. I decided to try and keep a record of each day with my general happiness and relationship happiness, I know when we have a couple of good days it makes me forget how hard the weeks before that can be. I want to see in general how do things trend. This for me in a last attempt to try and make sense of things. She’s 34 and no kids, I don’t want to hold her back, and I don’t want to be in this constantly stressed position, I’ve had enough of feeling like this. But I love this girl and it’s conflicting to say I love her but also considering leaving if we can’t get on the same page.
I don’t know what I came on here for, maybe just to vent, or get ideas, I don’t really know.
