Abortion pills online

So I (27M) go to the gym regularly and I have a pass that lets me go to any gym in my city. I’ve been to all of them but I had a favourite place cuz of the layout. Been going to the same place for years but my issue was the fact that, although I’m pretty attractive, I haven’t found the courage to approach any women. (Mainly cuz of anxiety and the stories I hear about how you shouldn’t hit on girls at gyms.) I did eventually talk to this one chick I’ve been seeing for awhile but only because she was literally staring at me every chance she got.
But not only does she stare.. many other women do the same (guys too lmao). It’s not like I have a confidence issue but for some reason, idk if it’s the huge amount of pre work out I take but I’m like on a high when I get to the gym. Hitting on girls is the last thing on my mind.
I actually switched from that favourite gym of mine because I was paranoid that I came across as a pussy for not ever really going out of my way to talk to women. And there would be literally so many opportunities which I never pursued.
I don’t have many friends but when I read comments on the internet, guys essentially say they always hit on girls when they get a chance and well.. I don’t. Also because I think that girls get hit on all the time so why make someone uncomfortable at the gym? But then again I’ve read from so many different people that as long as you look good, nothing matters. (Which I think is cap but I’ve never put myself out there). My last three ex’s I met online..
So now I’m at this new gym which I fell in love with after leaving the previous. And I am sort of coming across the same issue..
Not only at the gym but literally anywhere I go I’ll get checked out. Red pill people call it “choosing signals”. There’s even this new chick who’s cute asf and would look at me like crazy but I wouldn’t even say hi but today was my second time seeing her and I noticed less stares 😂 I’ve heard that if you see a girl looking at you and you say hi from afar but don’t approach after it makes you look bad/un confident.
So I guess my question is do I still have a chance? Or was I supposed to approach right away? (And does this apply to all women who check me out?) I mean I’m prob messing it up worse by not even saying hi just locking eyes for a bit then turning away.. which I’m pretty sure is cringe?! But then again it’s like.. do I have to approach? It’s not that I don’t want to but idk if any other guy feels this way but doesn’t it lowkey feel like it’s our duty as a man to “holla”? Puts just a little bit of pressure on the situation.
I also feel like I shouldn’t over think it. There’s a few cuties at the new gym but idk why I feel like I’m obligated. Maybe it’s cuz they all fucking look at me and many would essentially follow me around the gym doing diff workouts as I move around. Which is an obvious clear signal I should say something.
Am I screwing up?! Am I a giant pussy? Or is the fact I’m introverted working for me as I come across as mysterious and it’s cool not to rush?

Hey! I’m on the combination pill alysena 28, I take it within the 4hour window of 7pm-11pm everyday so it’s perfect use. Me and a guy are planning on meeting up someday in the future to have sex. Obviously we’re going to use condoms the first couple times (he’s a virgin & I’m tested frequently for stds/stis) but he wants to try cream pieing me, and I’m interested in it too. I know I can always just go get the abortion pill if anything were to happen but I want to know if there’s anyone who’s on the same medication and hasn’t gotten pregnant yet? Like they’ve done the same stuff and haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Just wondering so I can prepare myself! Thank you in advance :)

Home abortions through pills supplied by post would be banned unless pregnant women have face-to-face consultations first under a law change proposed by a cross-party group of more than 40 MPs.
The MPs, including Thérèse Coffey and Damian Green, the former deputy prime ministers, and Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, have tabled an amendment that would ensure women had an in-person medical appointment before taking abortion pills at home.
The move – set out in an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill – would restore the approach that applied before the pandemic when face-to-face appointments were ditched as a “temporary” measure because of restrictions to stem the spread of Covid.

Hi, I am trying to prepare myself for a MA in KY. I have ordered the pills online from abuzz and I’m waiting for those to come in. I was hoping someone could answer a few questions I’m just trying to get more concrete answers on. My head is swimming and I’m a mom to a 1 year old so I think I’m just all over the place right now: 1. I am in KY where abortion is illegal. I understand that if I do take the pills a medical provider won’t know the difference between the MA and a miscarriage unless I were the take the pills vaginally and there was residue. If I did decide to take the pills vaginally, which sounds like that may be a good route for me, and a doctor finds out I took these pills, could I be arrested? I feel like that’s not the case in KY but I’m just panicking I suppose. (I know the best way to alleviate this fear is to take the pills orally.) 2. Did anyone make an appointment with their doctor after their MA to ensure everything was okay? I thought about doing that under the guise of “I think I had a miscarriage” or something. I am scared that either the pills won’t work or I’ll have leftover fetal remains and go septic. 3. If I don’t go to a doctor, how would I know the abortion “took” if pregnancy tests can stay positive for a few weeks? I’m scared of being one of those people who find out at at 20 weeks that the pill didn’t work.
Apologies if these questions are stupid. I’m having to hide this from my husband so I’m feeling a bit alone and I’m so tired so maybe I’m not as sharp as usual. Thanks

"For some women, the sorrow that often comes with having an abortion can last a lifetime. Many have a lingering sense of loss and a desire to turn back the clock. Others suffer silently for years before finally sharing their stories as compassionate cautionary tales for others. Here are just a few of their stories
Leslie’s Story Leslie got pregnant during her senior year of college, and again a year and a half later. Both times, she chose to have an abortion. “I gave up my two babies early on for a career, and then I was so depressed and the impact it had on my life, I couldn’t do my career.” “[I] got my dream job hosting a morning talk show. But a little bit before then, I’d learned I was pregnant and I just knew there was no way that I could do a TV show. My job would be gone if they found out I was pregnant.” “I went and got rid of that ‘inconvenience’ and went on and did this show.” After the abortions, Leslie became depressed and turned to drinking and drugs. She quit her job and returned to living with her parents. “After that, I was pretty much done. I was hollowed out, but I didn’t understand why.” “That’s why I speak out, in hopes that other people that are suffering in silence break that silence.
Michelle’s Story Michelle got pregnant at age 35. Her long-term partner, who had children from a previous relationship, had made it clear he didn’t want more children. Although Michelle initially saw the pregnancy as a kind of blessing, her partner still wouldn’t accept having another child, so she gave in. “I was torn because I felt like this was a weird twist of fate that I had wanted, but I couldn’t rationalize having a baby that wasn’t wanted by their father, plus I was suffering from intense fatigue and morning sickness, along with fear, isolation, and shame. Because I didn’t have much time before it was too late for a medical abortion, I made the decision to terminate less than a couple weeks after finding out I was pregnant. I immediately regretted it. I cried for days. It’s been 2 weeks since; I will have moments of a regular day, and out of nowhere I will feel like a ghost of a person… intense sadness followed by emptiness. I don’t know what to do moving forward. I hear it gets easier, but I feel so lost right now.”
Monica’s Story Monica was a teen in high school when she got pregnant. Although she had a supportive partner, they decided together to get an abortion, largely out of fear of what others would think. “I was so afraid of my dad being disappointed and angry with me. I was afraid of people judging me and thinking I was a failure. I was afraid my dad would blame my boyfriend for it.” “We secretly went to a clinic to get an abortion.” “After the procedure, I felt relief. I thought life would resume as normal, and it did for a while. I didn’t count on years later, looking at the three children I have since carried and thinking of our baby that we selfishly aborted out of fear of facing our family. Who would they be now? Words can’t express my regrets. Very few people know, and I carry shame for the mistake I made to mask what I thought was a mistake. I only hope that God has our child and I hope one day I will know who they were.”
Elizabeth’s Story Elizabeth got pregnant at 17, and while that was 34 years ago, she remembers every detail, including the grief she felt then and still works to overcome today. “When I realized I was pregnant, I had some very complex emotions. I was simultaneously so happy and terribly sad at the same time.” “When (my parents) found out I was pregnant, I don’t remember any discussion about options. I do remember a lot of talk about how irresponsible I was and how this could wreck my life, and the ‘obvious solution.’ I was dead and numb. My mom took me to the clinic. I paid for (the abortion) myself. It was awful.” “I was going against something my heart knew was wrong.” In the years that followed, Elizabeth drank alcohol regularly, found herself in abusive relationships, and had several more pregnancies. “I’ve had seven pregnancies. One was the abortion, four miscarriages, and two beautiful daughters. I have had a lot of female issues which eventually lead to a hysterectomy. I often wondered if any of it was related to the abortion.” “Through the years, I have struggled with alcoholism (I don’t drink anymore), depression, anxiety, workaholism… and many behaviors I used to keep myself busy.” “On the other side of my story is joy and love. I’m finally getting there, crawling out from under the debris of guilt, sadness, shame, depression, insecurity, and grief.
Chandra’s Story Chandra chose the abortion pill as the means to abort her child. Like many women, she presumably believed this approach might be easier to deal with than undergoing an actual in-office medical procedure. Chandra found out, however, that the emotional pain can be just the same. “It took me a week to decide to have an abortion, one hour to convince myself to swallow the pill and another week to realize I shouldn’t have done it. It may not have been the right time. I might not have had a house or a job, or been at the right stage in my relationship, but I had the support of friends and family. We could have done it. I had so much love I could have offered, but I chose convenience, and now I wish I’d chosen hard work and motherhood.”"

I work at a CMHC as a clinical therapist. I live in a state where it is more difficult to get an abortion, and my patient has been told by her OB she might have to go to another state for it, which is a financial and travel barrier. I’m really heartbroken about it, and want to know what resources there are to help her. I know there may be ways to get abortion pills in the mail, but honestly this is the first time I’ve encountered it in my practice, and I have no idea what information to provide that is legit and not someone mailing people aspirin or poison (exaggeration, hopefully). I’m seeing if anyone in our organization has information, but being federally funded I’m not sure what we can/can’t provide information wise for abortions.

I am not representing the incel community but I matched with this girl on a dating app. She mentioned she is looking for a mature, responsible, serious guy. Those were her exact words. So I thought, okay, I will just be myself. I won't engage in flirting or take advice from the online red pill or online dating community. So I was just being me, not engaging in any kind of flirting or anything, just being a serious guy. We talked for a couple of weeks (by the way, she was the third girl I talked to for more than a week in my entire life), but guess what? She was like, 'I am not sure about our conversation.'
In another situation, all the casual dates I've had in the past, I engaged in flirting or those things which the online dating community advises you to do. And, guess what? After some time, the girls really want to get into a serious relationship (even though I haven't shown my serious, mature, responsible side) and they have mentioned that they are looking for a mature, responsible, and serious guy.
After all these experiences, I am sure that all the girls in the dating market just want a guy who can flirt with them. They lie to us (boys) and themselves by saying they are looking for mature, responsible, serious, etc. They should just say that they want to have a good time and are looking for a guy who can flirt, that's it. Don't give false hope to people by saying you are looking for a mature, responsible, and serious guy. It's a lie. Most of you girls just want a guy who can flirt, that's it. Period.
I'm also not optimistic about our generation's approach to marriage. People are lying to themselves and each other, behaving like clowns, so it's no wonder we end up with a circus. In today's dating market, you'll find someone who says, 'Okay, I'll act serious with you because you're the best option I have for now. But as soon as I find someone better, I'll kick you to the curb.' If someone behaves like this, what's to stop them from repeating the same pattern after marriage?
They fucking all want s*x. No one wants a genuine connection. And they lie to each other. I am done with this fucking circus dating market. And I am never going to return. This fucking whole dating culture is BS.
If girls are seeking enjoyable conversations or fun experiences, there are plenty of activities to explore. Pursue hobbies, try stand-up comedy, cultivate genuine friendships, etc. Don't date someone if you're not seeking what you claim to be looking for. If you're basing decisions on having fun conversations, remember that the other person might be serious about the relationship.

4w pregnant. missed period. pill abortion. medicine abortion.
Hi all. I suspected i was pregnant this month and my period is two days late. Took two different tests and was positive. My appointment at PP was 565$. Washington DC.
Called planned parenthood, they gave me an appointment, I went in. It was two hours where they - urine test for pregnancy - ultrasound outside and inside (they couldn’t see anything in mine most likey because im so early, but they will call me tomorrow to tell me if im at risk of ectopic) - took my blood to measure HGH today and they will measure again in two days to ensure my levels go down in response to the abortion - watch three videos about the process - answer questions about your health - explain the process again before giving you pill number one.
While I was there i took pill number one. When I left, they sent me home with nausea meds and four pills of number two.
Pill number one i took orally, then at home four tablets of pill number two is inserted into yourself with your finger.
I prepared by ordering pads, taking 800mg ibuprofen, and now I am laying down while the four pills dissolve. I am 29 days gestational.

I (27F) got pregnant by accident. My first pregnancy. I’m married and wanted a baby next year so it doesn’t seem so bad.
But the timing is terrible because we sold our house for a ruin to rebuild. So next week we are living on the construction site with no water or electricity for at least 2 weeks and then having to build everything from dust. Not the time to be pregnant, I’m supposed to help my husband. And a construction site with asbestos and only a mattress on the floor doesn’t sound like the perfect pregnancy setting.
So when I learnt Monday about my pregnancy, and my husband suggested abortion, I wished to simply lose it so I wouldn’t have to abort it. Because deep down I wanted to keep it, but I didn’t want to force my husband’s hand, that was not what we agreed upon. I really didn’t want to abort that pregnancy I started to love. I knew I would hate myself forever. A random miscarriage, above my control, like it happens to so many, would have solved the situation without me having to intervene.
I was 6 weeks pregnant. Everything was fine. It held through two international trips without me knowing.
Monday I learnt about it, wished to lose it, and started bleeding.
But I read online it’s probably simple spotting, that it is common and not to worry. So during the last 3 days I changed my mind and really wanted to keep it, my husband started to say he would accept my choice in any case and be supportive.
And I started to feel very happy about my pregnancy.
Today I had the echography, the tech said I’m having a miscarriage. He said it started when I started bleeding. So Monday. When I wished to lose it.
So I wished to lose it and got exactly what I wanted.
I hate myself.
And I hate myself even more for being upset at my husband because I know he is relieved - even if he would never say something like that. I know it’s a rational feeling for him. But I’m upset he doesn’t understand how sad I feel.
And now I’m dealing with this miscarriage with all my stuff packed in moving boxes, I can’t even be comfy, I hate it here
Be careful what you wish for I guess.
I hate myself.

I got diagnosed with crohn’s about 6 months ago, but have had symptoms for a year now. I have no problem with symptoms like diarrhea, but I’ve had a major problem with bloating. My bloating is only getting worse I fear. About a week ago I started a very strict low-fodmap diet but I haven’t seen any results (not sure how long it takes to start seeing results). I’ve tried numerous techniques and things to stop bloating, such as the low fodmap diet, chewing slower, yoga, smaller portion sizes, peppermint pills, probiotics. Basically any tips I’ve found on the reddits pages and online I’ve tried. Right now I’m taking prednisone but I’ve been on it for over 2 months and it hasn’t done anything, so my doctor wants me to taper down my usage which I’m actively doing. I was supposed to start biologics this summer, but I’m going to be out of town for the whole summer so I will be unmedicated for my time out of the country.
Does anyone have any niche tips for getting rid of bloating that worked for them or anything that really made a difference? I’m a 20 year old man in the best physical condition of my life (besides the crohns) and it suck to always feel like shit from how bloated I am.

I met my now ex-boyfriend in 2021 when I was in my 6th semester of undergrad studies and was doing classes online as the second wave of Covid was in peak at the time. I was finally dating a guy after being completely single for 4 whole years. The guy was almost 2 years older than me and was an MBA student at my college. He did his undergrad from the same college so I knew he existed beforehand. Our relationship pretty much started on Instagram and we would spend almost the entire day and night on voice and video calls with one another.
The relationship was going on good in my mind as we began going on dates as soon as the lockdown restrictions eased. I really liked the guy and felt the feeling was mutual, atleast for some time. Fast forward to a couple of months later, the guy was now giving me barely any time. To his defense, he was a busy man who had college from 6:30am to 8:15am and a bank job from 9 to 6. But I was an understanding girlfriend as well, as I was okay with him not replying to me throughout the day and also okay with acting like strangers when we came face to face in college because he didn't want people to know about us. The only demand I had was for him to talk to me for at least half an hour before bed and to meet me for a few hours on the weekend, which was apparently too much to ask for as well. I took this behaviour for quite a few months until that one melting point when he cancelled the plans with me one weekend with an excuse and I found out he was actually out with two of his friends from his bachelor studies among whom, one was the girl he had a solid crush on back in the day. That was the day I just lost my cool and broke off with him.
Now that the backstory is done, here's the points that this post is actually about. Though I swore to never see his face again after that, it was the very next day when I realised I had gotten addicted to my feelings for him and it physically hurt me to not text him or hear his voice. That's when I swallowed my self-respect and went to him begging for one last meet for closure and he agreed. I also gave him an option to continue the relationship without him having to put any extra effort than what he had been putting until the day of the break up. He denied. Then, me being the desperate loser I was, I offered him to have a casual situationship kinda thing until one of us found somebody else. For months, we were in touch and even went on multiple dates (not as romantic as it used to be). In between, I would sometimes see him with the same girl he had a crush on before dating me and even heard rumors of them dating. But everytime I asked him about it, he denied and went on with seeing me. We had been slowly drifting apart with every meet as I was starting to get cold vibes from him. One day, situations led us to spend a night together. Even at that evening, I asked him if he was actually in a relationship with her because I didn't want to be that ex a boyfriend cheats on his girlfriend with, and he denied YET AGAIN. It was that night and the morning that followed when I had my melting point regarding this situationship because I was getting pure creep vibes from him and felt more lonely around him than I had ever felt alone in my life. So, that was the last day I saw him. I also blocked him everywhere.
Fast forward to a very few months later, the girl I suspected he was dating, moved to Australia and I found out that they got MARRIED in court before she left. As we had mutual friends from the college we both went to, I found out they had been "in love" for months even when he was seeing me and swearing he had no girlfriend. That revelation was the toughest pill I ever had to swallow and I felt equally an asshole as him for believing him. I have never confronted him on this or informed the girl about the matter because I initially found her to be a bitch too as she never accepted my follow request and also, somewhere I was still mad he played me and MARRIED her knowing damn well she never cared about him at all before he started dating me! (She had rejected him when they were classmates in undergrad studies and he wasn't as well-groomed or employed then. But now, that he looked much better, had a job and had dated a couple of other girls while she had dropped out of her Master's studies, had no job and was single, she suddenly loved him).
Knowing all of this bs about the guy and the girl, I feel like there's no need for me to tell the girl anything. Honestly, I don't even think she'll ever trust me over her husband and I don't have that kind of energy to get into this negativity again. So, am I the asshole in this whole drama?

I really need to get this off my chest.
10 years of diarrhea and frequent urination. Seborrheic dermatitis. 10 fucking years.
17 different doctors. I kid you not, i counted.
8 years years of "You are imagining things", "Take this useless pill and gtfo", "Its because you drink coffee on an empty stomach mate, stop dat and gtfo". 0 tests. 5 minutes and out the door. Ok i said, its what it is. Ill live with it.
Queue 2 years ago - Rapid deterioration of symptoms. I now cant leave my house. I live in constant pain and bloating. "Ok" i figure, time to stop going to different doctors. Pick the best one and stick with him.
So i open the website with the doctors, pick the best GI one based on reviews and queue an appointment. Its online trough the phone because he now works in some fancy hospital in UK. Great i figure - he's too good for my shithole country, he might actually solve the case.
We make the video call, he listens to me for an hour and a half. An hour and a fucking half, that's more than the 13 before him combined. He says "Let me think this trough and ill get back to you". Great.
He writes back after a day - "I want to call a forum in the ultra famous university hospital in London. I want to invite leading doctors in all the relevant fields - allergologist, dermatologist, whatevergist (4 more). It will cost you 5k though - do you want to do it?"
"Sure" i say. Maybe finally we get somewhere. 5k is like 2 monthly salaries in my shithole country, but im ok on money, i can afford that easily. He gives me his own fucking personal Revolut. No red flags there, huh?
Anyway, the "forum" passes. He gets back to me.
"Its all stress related OP. Its IBS-D due to stress. The forum is unanimous and the diagnosis is certain. Here is your treatment":

1. Shitty antidepressant/sedative - Deanxit
   
2. Even shittier antihistamine - Ketotifen - but this is just to help with your allergies OP, you can not take it if you want.
   
3. Cut out all stress from your life if you can.
   

Great. I take the pills. All of them. Allergies suck.
Deanxit immediately transforms me into a fucking sloth. Im sleepy all the time. I can barely think. Im a programmer, i kinda need to think.
But. Lo and behold. For the first time in 10 years im ok. Every fucking symptom disappears.
Shit i figure. My stress was really killing me. Time to solve that.
Team lead in a billion dollar company at 30? Doing a great job at it? Hahaaa not any more boss. I quit.
But why do you quit he says? - "I cant handle the stress. Its literally killing me"
Take 3 months off then. We'll find you a replacement team lead. We will demote you back to senior and you can take it easy. We'll take you off supporting the most important website in the company.
Queue me taking 3 months off. - God bless that man for not letting me go. But im no longer a team lead. Im no longer in charge of my website. Im just another programmer now.
Queue me cutting ties with half my family because they stress me out.
Ketotifen disappears from the pharmacies. "Its ok" i think. Its for my allergies anyway. I just get another antihistamine.
5-6 days pass. Symptoms start to slowly reappear. Im now back at work tho and getting stressed again.
Symptoms progress ever so slowly, but progress anyways.
Im constantly in contact with the doctor trough the app. Every single month i pay to have access to him.
Every time i tell him its getting worse he just says its due to stress. Keep at the treatment. No changes.
Symptoms progress to basically no treatment levels. I go to a urologist for the frequency. He says its due to stress also. Here's this sedative, good luck programming on it. Great, fuck that. Second opinion. Go to second urologist - its stress mate, go to a psychiatrist. You are depressed.
I go to another GI doctor for a second opinion. "Its IBS-D due to stress mate, go to a psychiatrist".
"Ok" i figure. "Time to dive in the deep". I go to a psychiatrist. I tell him my symptoms. I tell him im a bit under the weather, which is understandable being unable to leave my house and in constant discomfort. "The body symptoms are psychosomatic which means you are SEVERELY depressed. Here are these 2 HEAVY antidepressants. Take one in the morning the other in the evening. "
I try. I fail. Too many side effects. Queue arguments with the wife because i refuse treatment.
I try with a different psychiatrist. Same diagnosis. Another treatment. Same result. Cant keep at it.
More arguments with the wife. Now she is properly mad and wants to leave me because im constantly mad and in a bad mood. This has been going on for 2 years. I dont leave the house. Im 32. Everyone is telling me im insane. Sad.
I start reading up the internet for rare diseases. I basically turn myself into a mini Gastroenterologist. I read everything concerning IBS.
I do every test i can think of. Microbiome. Full blood panel. Histamine. Zonulin.
Lo and behold - histamine twice the range (while im on Ketotifen again). Zonulin 25x.
I figure it must be a food allergy and the histamine is causing all the problems. Im now a fucking internet doctor. But i know its bad to self diagnose and self treat. So i go to an allergologist. I tell him my stomach troubles and that i think its food allergies. He is unimpressed. "Go to a GI doctor he says. There are plenty of tests that can be done. Check enzymes, check for parasites, check for more stuff".
By now i have figured out the UK doctor has basically scammed me and is just milking me for money every month. He refuses another call. He refuses to rethink the diagnosys. He insists that its correct.
Ok. I start an elimination diet because i'm now a doctor. I suspect allergies. I suspect the Ketotifen fixed me the first time. Meanwhile i queue an appointment with doctor #17.
I go to the new doctor. By that time EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY SYMPTOMS IS GONE. I tell her my test results. I tell her i seem to be able to control the condition 100% by food. "You have enterities" she says. "But whats causing it?" i ask.
"I dont know. Here's some enterol and an anti-diarrhea med".
OK. Diet continues. Now enterol added. anti-diarrhea? Why? Whatever. Not taking it. I don't have it anymore.
Im now at the point where i can eat quite a selection of items. I sit down and think. What have i eaten basically every day of my life for the past 10 years? Pork. Its pork.
I eat some pork day 1.
Day 2 is a little bad. Eat some more.
Day 3 is quite bad. Eat some more. It might be a fluke.
Day 4 is back to all the symptoms. I schedule an appointment with doctor #17. I go. This is today.
I tell her my findings. I ask if it sounds correct. She says yes. It sounds like an allergy. But. But.
Why are you coming to me? Im a GI. Go to an allergologist. "But he sent me to you.". Crickets.
She proceeded to scold me for 20 fucking minutes for self diagnosing and asking treatment questions.
Sister. 17 of you failed. I killed my career, cut ties with my family, Lost 100k+ in salaries. Lost untold amounts in options packages that i now woun't get because i'm no longer a manager. I no longer have friends. I almost separated with my wife. I could have retired at 40. I lost 2 years of my life. All of that because of your lot's wrong diagnoses.
And i get scolded for 20 minutes. For self diagnosing. CORRECTLY. Fuck this country and its healthcare man.
Anyways, PSA - If you have IBS-D, frequent urination and some rosacea go check your histamine in stool. And don't forget to always discuss with your healthcare professional. Unless you live in Bulgaria. Fuck this country.

I had an abortion back in December, by taking the pills.
Ever since the abortion I have not stopped bleeding or blood clotting. After calling the hospital I was just turned away and told if my pregnancy tests are negative then nothing to worry about.
We are now in May, and I have had 2 ultra sounds and been in emergency same day care to just be given tranexamic acid and told to go home.
I feel weak, my breasts hurt constantly, my sex life is not the same due to the bleeding. I can’t go 1 day without wearing a tampon/sanitary pad. I am awaiting a minor procedure called a hysteroscopy where they insert a camera into your cervix to see what is happening. I’m so sad, miserable and feel like I am not being heard. I am angry, I wanted to keep the baby but it just wasn’t time and now long term my body has been working against me.
I just needed to rant on here, I’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense. I am so tired and so fed up of not being heard!!!

Posting on here for some advice on whether to start using retinol again… I have a long story with acne and getting perioral dermatitis recently - really need some advice
For context, I have struggled with acne my entire life, from the age of 11 I was on multiple treatments including creams and antibiotics to try and control my spotty and oily t-zone. At the age of 17 I had a terrible break out on my cheeks, it was really severe and I had never had acne like that before. After numerous things I ended going on the contraceptive pill and that completely cleared my skin. I was on the pill for about 5-6 years but it really affected my mental health, depression, anxiety and mood swings were horrible so I finally came off it before the age of 23.
When I came off the pill I became quite nervous that all my acne would come back, I began getting spots here and there, and after seeing the rave about tretinoin online I decided to give it a go. It definitely wasn’t the best decision from me, I got the retinol uglies, I went in with 0.5 which was definitely too strong too quick and I was losing hope after a few months. I think my skin was just TOO exfoliated, I couldn’t figure out a routine and I think I was using too many products.
I then switched to Dermatica and got prescribed Adapalene 0.2% / Clindamycin 1% / Niacinimide 4% This felt better but my skin was continually peeling, it looks glowy now that I look back on pictures but I was still getting spots. Nothing drastic but I was definitely searching for that glass skin look.
After 6 months they switched my prescription and removed the Clindamycin (due to resistance to that ingredient I think you can only take it for 6 months). This was before Christmas time in 2023, the weather became really extreme and my skin suffered. I thought it was just the weather and I would lather in moisturisers and continue to only use Dermatica every 3rd night but my skin would not stop peeling. I contacted Dermatica and told them my side effects and they said that my skin is just getting used to it. I began to get a dry patch near my mouth which slowly got worse, I thought this was because of the weather but I got a lot of redness around my mouth and looking online I felt like I had developed perioral dermatitis.
Long story short I did have perioral dermatitis. I stripped my skincare routine to be VERY minimal and began taking antibiotic, I was prescribed Lymecycline from my doctor for 3 months, I also started using Azelaic Acid after following Dr Sam Bunting advice online.
Now that I have finished my antibiotic, I am still continually getting spots, it almost feels a tad worse now that I’ve finished the antibiotic (Lymecycline is also prescribed for acne as well as POD). My skin feels really clogged and my forehead just has a lot of tiny spots, I keep getting breakouts and I just want to not have to deal with it all the time, it feels NEVER ending that I have acne for the rest of time at the moment.
Here is my current skincare routine: AM - Wash face with water - The Ordinary Caffeine Solution under my eyes - The Inkey List Azelaic Acid 10% - The Inkey List Vitamin C 15% (just started using this to brighten marks) - The Inkey List Niacinimide (for my oiliness) - The Inkey List Omega Water Cream (if my skin is feeling moisturised I don’t use this) - Paula’s Choice Clear SPF 30 Fluid
PM - Remove make up with The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm - Wash face with Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Cleanser - Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Neutralising Gel - this has 2% salycilic acid, 5% azelaic acid, 0.5% bakuchiol, 5% squalene (started using this in the past week now that I have finished my antibiotic and I only put it on my spots, most nights in the week) - Sometimes I may use Paula’s Choice BHA or AHA (probably once a week and not at the same time as the gel above) - Cosrx Snail Mucin (if my skin is feeling dry or I have used an exfoliator) - The Inkey List Omega Water Cream OR Aveeno Oat Restorative Night Cream
Treatments: - I’ve got the Omnilux Red Light Therapy mask and I use it a few times a week (my skin feels very hydrated and plump from this) - I’ve been using a high frequency wand a few times a week on my spots
I’ve been contemplating using The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% maybe once or twice a week in the evenings, but I’m just really nervous and not entirely sure whether it’s worth it. My skin did look good on Dermatica (apart from the peeling) and definitely way less clogged than I feel now, so I feel really tempted especially hearing that retinal is really good.
Considering I’ve been using Azelaic Acid daily for 3 months now I feel like my skin is slightly less sensitive, but I’m VERY worried I will fall into a trap and over exfoliate if my spots still continue, I’m a stress picker and I just want them gone so if one appears I just need to do something to it. I’m also very scared of the retinol uglies, I’ve started a new job recently and I’m definitely worried it will crush my confidence on a daily, as already I get quite down about spots.
Does anyone have any advice if retinal is a good idea?

Hi everybody,
Inspired by the very name of this subreddit, I decided to do some research on fourth-wave feminism and wanted to ask you all about your thoughts on this topic. Unfortunately, I have not been able to gather a lot of information in my research - neither on feminist blogs nor in academic articles. Wikipedia was also not very helpful in this case. Summarising, so that we are all on the same page, here is the scare information that I was able to find on fourth-wave feminism:

• There seems to be a consensus that the fourth wave started around the early 2010s with a global resurgence of feminism thanks to the growing importance of the internet and social media.
• The key role of the internet can be seen in hugely popular online campaigns, such as the international #MeToo movement, or more local campaigns, like #EleNão in Brazil. (This phenomenon is sometimes called “hashtag feminism”.)
• Important areas of focus have been sexual violence, everyday harassment and body shaming. Other frequently discussed issues include female representation in politics, equal pay and abortion rights.
• Fourth-wave feminism is commonly associated with an intersectional approach and, as such, sensitive to issues that only or disproportionately impact minority women, for instance, poverty, racism or lesbophobia.
• Some sources also explicitly link fourth-wave feminism to so-called pro sex-work and queer-inclusive perspectives.
• Due to the lack of a clear definition, the concept of a fourth wave of feminism remains contested. Notably, people have questioned whether the increased use of the internet is reason enough to speak of a new wave at all.

On a personal note, I was pretty disappointed by the discrepancy between my type of feminism and the mainstream conception of fourth-wave feminism. Pretty much all my feminist views align with radical (second-wave) feminism but what I found with regards to fourth-wave feminism outside of this sub seems like a continuation of third-wave/liberal feminism to me.

• What do you associate with the term fourth-wave feminism? Do you agree that its defining feature is online networking and activism?
• Do you personally care about the term? Do you think it’s worth fighting for? As in, should we claim this term for our movement and really make it our own?
• Do you refer to yourself as a fourth-wave feminist or do you prefer another term (radfem, women’s rights activist etc)?
• Do you consider the current era of feminism separate from third-wave/liberal feminism?
• Which strain of feminism is the dominant one in your country? (I have heard that radical feminism is the dominant form of feminism in countries like Spain and South Korea and would love to hear different national perspectives.)

Finally, I’m really sorry this is so long! I tried to be concise but my post somehow still turned out pretty lenghty…

Upon reading additional information on Pink News,
“Current RSHE guidance, which schools must follow by law, makes it compulsory for primary school pupils to be educated on relationship dynamics.
This includes being taught about healthy, respectful relationships and families. Pupils also learn about physical health, parts of the body, boundaries online and offline, and puberty.”
So those isn’t just an attack on gender identity but children of abuse. Not teaching children about boundaries?? Really?
“Discussions of sexual acts will not be permitted up until year nine, when students are aged 13-14, which will include subjects like contraception, abortion, and STIs.”
When I was 13-14 I was extremely horny, hated it, everyone was talking sexual and many had already had sex, all this does is harm kids.

Now first of all I've never been quick to anger but lately when arguing with strangers on the internet (mainly reddit) I noticed I get extremely irritated when discussing topics such as abortion, gender ideology, etc. I can not for the life of me accept ideas such as not considering abortion murder, the idea that an animal has more value than a human fetus, that there are more genders than male and female and so on.
The thing is I never get this mad when talking about my hobbies or interests, I never get mad discussing sport teams, TV shows, games, books, none of those. I hate how being angry feels and hate how I act around my family and friends when I'm angry and I want to stop feeling like that. Obviously I could stop participating in that kind of online interactions but I don't like how sometimes nobody steps up to point out today's madness and I feel obligated to defend my catholic views, partly because i want to show other catholics that things are not so one sided as they seem, and partly because of my sad egoistic wish to be proven right and validated, I recognize that. In real life I never discuss those kind of topics unless prompted for the fear of losing my cool.
For example, a catholic group in my country recently proposed a law that would allow mothers to give birth anonymously in hospitals because a baby was found in a garbage bin the other day. The mother is probably a poor and/or abused woman. A lot of liberal reddit people supported this and expressed surprise how such a good idea came from catholics (and I don't have to tell you the general opinion on us here). But what enraged me the most is that a sizable amount of them (judging by upvote ratio) argued that this would be bad because it would promote incest and rape and said legalizing abortion would be preferable. Excuse me, what? What made me angry was not this one person's opinion but rather the sheer amount of people agreeing with them. Absolutely ridiculous.
What i want to learn is how to remain level-headed in those types of situations? Any helpful advice, book suggestion, comment is welcome! I also want to know if I can somehow discuss this issue with a priest, it kinda seems stupid bothering him about arguing with strangers on the internet lol.

I don't know if rants the right thing, but I don't know if venting is allowed here, if not feel free to take this down, I just really need to get this out. Long paragraph ahead: I guess tw- SH/ talk about gore?/ Talk about derealization?

My family life isn't great, school is stressing me out, my parents say im failing because of my friends and because "all I do is socialize at school", but in reality they're my reason why I'm being able to do things still. They're my reason I still keep going. I got into a fight with my mom last night and my dad had to break us up. I was forced to stay up all night to work on school and barely got any sleep. I don't like school, I know the stuff already because I used to do AP before I moved schools so to me it's just pointless busywork. I want to be able to do things that make me happy like art and drawing but even that stuff is being taken from me because it's "all I focus on"? But in reality is more of just a coping method. I have a teacher I talk to at school about this, she's my favorite teacher and I can talk to her about anything without getting in trouble or the counselor getting told, she's been helping me with my work. My parents are thinking about putting me online next year if I can't get my stuff together. If I were to get put online I don't know what I would do, my friends help me with so many things and I don't know what I would I would do if I lost contact with them. I feel like giving up, I feel like I'm spiraling again. My mom call me ungrateful, but at most she only gives me the basic necessities but even then threatens to take those away as well. My dad is fine, he not that strict and understand what it's like, he's said he's gone through the same things and he's trying to give me a break. My mom keeps pushing me more over my limit. I'm tired and can barely get out of bed in the weekends. I get up and take a shower every morning, I sit under the water for at least 10 minutes before finally wanting to move around. I'm tired all the time and I don't what to do. I feel like I am rotting. I'm shamed for my interests, I'm not allowed to talk about things I like, like video games, shows, hobbies, I get shut down nearly immediately by my parents, half the time just so my little brother can talk about his interests instead.my little brother gets bullied at school, so it's understandable why he gets more attention at home, but sometimes it still feels like he's being pick the favorite. I feel selfish and don't want to say anything. My friends say I should get tested for certain disorders like ADHD or OCD, my parents say those things aren't real, the only thing I've been truly diagnosed with is Borderline. My parents want me to get on meds for it, but I can't swallow pills, I have a fear of taking pills, so much to the point where every time I've had to take pills I throw it back up. I want to talk to my friends about my issues, but they also have stuff going on, and I don't want toake it look like I care more about myself than them. I'm tired to the point that I want to cut off all socials, and long distance friends, I want to stop talking, I feel like everything I do will end up bad for me no matter what path I take. Im failing English, but my teacher hasn't been there for the past three weeks and doesn't unlock any of the only tests, he then has the audacity to say I'm not doing anything in class when I can't do anything anyways. I have two separate friend groups. One is rather abusive to me, while the other isore protective... Those two friend groups of mine are basically fighting for me? It's odd but stressful. I don't like it. I want to talk to them about my problems, but I feel like they would tell the counselor... I have past issues with school counselors, they say they won't tell my parents anything then proceed to tell them plus twist my words into something I never said, I try to talk to my parents tell them I'm stressed and need a break- they say to talk to the counselor, I tell the counselor my issues, they tell my parents, my parents get mad at me for going to counselor like they tolde to do. I'm afraid of hurting others, but I don't want to hurt myself either, I've been 2 months free and I feel like Im close to relapsing... Last time I relapsed my mom found out and instead of asking me what's wrong or trying to be a better mother I'm yelled at. My own mom calls me ugly, she says I'm to skinny, though she knows I have fast metabolism and I'm bulimic... She doesn't try to help, she only yells at me. I'm tired, I only want to sleep, I want to cry but I can't, I feel numb at this point... I feel like my mental health is concerning, it even concerns me... I've found myself interested in things I've never been interested in before, like those gore videos you could find online. I feel like I'm going insane. My parents know this. But they still don't care. I'm left to fend and care for myself. I've been zoning out more often than before, nothing feels real anymore. I don't know what to do. i want to talk to people I know irl. But I feel like it would make me seem repulsive... I don't want to lose anyone, they mean to much to me. I'm attached to people who hurt me. I don't know what to do anymore, Im spiraling, I'm going insane. I don't care about anything anymore. I feel relaxed but not in a good way. In a numb and given up way.

In all honesty to many tags would go with this so I'm just putting seeking advice... Long paragraph ahead: I guess tw- SH/ talk about gore?/ Talk about derealization?
