Will prometrium stop my period

I am 26 and I work in a airport coffee shop. I started sleeping with a guy who is an airline pilot. He is 32. I also found the job so cool since I was a kid. He is good looking too, so many reasons to give it a try, although I am not into hook up culture. We did it once, then it happened again after like 3 weeks later. At that point he asked me for my number, so we could be in touch. I was happy. It's been already 4 months that we see each other when he can. Usually when he is off it is for a few days.
I am sure I am not a side chick, because last time we met, he also put a photo of us on social media.
I was not sure I want a stable relationship, so I was fine with the fact we see each other very rare. I recently broke up and I enjoy not being with someone in a serious way. He made me feel good. He is funny and intelligent too. Lately though he has been very different. At first he made me feel bad for working in an airport coffee shop, like it's a not a good enough job. Then, he also raised his voice at me for waking him up by accident. I went to bathroom and the door woke him up.
And 2 days ago he slapped me. Very bad. I fell to the floor. We had a fight about the way he treats me and how he looks down on me for not having a better job, not being ambitious enough. I am not the kind of person to tolerate such things and I called him an arrogant a$$hole. He hit me, walked out of my apartment and after 3 hours he texted me to apologise. He said he was tired, he had a very long flight, stressed. I told him I cannot forgive him and I will stop seeing him. He said fine, that he understands this but he wants to talk to me tomorrow, after I am done with my shift. I agreed and I'm not sure I should have, but told him we will talk in a public place, where people are around.
He acted offended and tried to talk me out of it, that he wants to be alone with me, but in the end he agreed. Tomorrow we will meet. I am confused and not happy with myself that I agreed, but there are things I want to tell him too, about his behaviour, about how I like my job and that my ambition has nothing to do with it. I am at college, but we never got to talk about this. Overall I want to tell him he was a jerk. Is it a mistake I could regret? I don't want to go with him anywhere to be alone.

I take metformin and I’ve lost over 90 lbs. last summer I was having regular periods but noticing some hair growth on my chin so I started Nikki birth control back. It has completely killed my libido. About 3 weeks ago, I stopped taking it. I also wanted to see how my body is doing with a history of PCOS and losing so much weight. I wanted to see if I was having normal cycles. First few weeks I felt AMAZING. high libido, I was happy, I just felt great. By week 3, I swelled up like a balloon. Gained 6 lbs from water retention, I was SEVERELY bloated. None of my clothes fit. I couldn’t even wear spanx. I was a grumpy butt. I felt like a could eat a cow. The list goes on and on. I felt so ill, I started it back a few days ago…… but I really want to be off this stuff. I want to see my body in its natural state and see if my PCOS symptoms have changed.
My dr told me to go off it and give it a few months…. But I don’t want to feel like complete garbage for over 3 months. Also, my low sex drive is killing my relationship.
Anyone had this happen? Any input?

I am trying to build a kitchen basically from scratch in my small condo, as it currently does not have one. So new cabinets, countertops, appliances, a new soffit and definitely some electrical modifications/additions (new outlets, hardwiring electric stove, at a minimum). Major plumbing is already where it needs to be so no huge plumbing renovation needed at this point. I got screwed by some shoddy contractors that didn't have anything in writing, and didn't apply for any permits, so I'm trying to learn from that and work with someone that will do the work according to a contract and apply for the right permits.
Here's where I'm starting to get nervous: there has been some major work done without a single permit in my condo. Major plumbing renovations, changed a hot water tank to a tankless, electrical work, exposing brick, and built a room, as the condo was formerly a studio (nothing load bearing or structural, just new framing and drywall).
I am not familiar with the permitting process. Based on what I've read it sounds like trying to get a permit now will require some inspections, which will expose that fact that none of the work leading up to this point has been permitted, leading to stop orders and fines and on and on. Am I basically screwed if I want to do things the right way moving forward?

Hello all!
I have been offered an Analyst 1 position for the VME arm of Ernst & Young.
I want your opinion, given my circumstance.
I have just been hired at a fortune 10 company (not a financial company) as a financial analyst, and im still in my probation period.
The company is great. I have an upper-mid salary (for my entry-level experience) with decent perks. Work-life balance seems decent. My manager is great, and there's a clear possible path to promotion over the next few years. Thus, it feels like a stable path- albeit less glamorous than a valuation analyst at a big 4 firm. My role is good old corporate finance, which I find interesting but certainly prefer valuation/investment side more. Note: it is still fairly early to give a full verdict, but that is my take thus far.
The prospective new employer is EY. Whilst it is a big name, I heard that some arms are prestigious- but not all. Work-life balance is intense. I was told I may work 14 hours a day at some point. I am early in my career; however, I am very much willing to have an extreme work-life balance at the start (and future), as long as it will develop my professional career and future. Here is the critical point; the position is extremely competitive, with very little chance of promotions. Job stability is uncertain, since I have no first-hand experience in the company and I only hear that employees can be cut. Moreover, the salary is more or less similar to my current position. But I am more drawn to the opportunity of working on the investment side, as that is my passion. I am also more drawn to the learning opportunity and- potentially in the future- exit opportunities.
What would you do in my position?

Hello this is my first post in this subreddit and I need help in finding a possible lost Spider-Man video I watched during the years after Spider-Man 3 was released. This most likely took place around 2008/2009/2010.
I came across this video on YouTube when I was watching some classic nostalgic Spider-Man videos during that time period. (ex. stop motions, flash animations, tribute or amvs, parodies etc. Yknow, classic Youtube)
The video (from what I recall) featured Spider-Man lifting a kid's bed but then he does something scary that frightened me as a kid. He revealed his face to be something grotesque and then Idk what happened but after that the kid's eyes were gouged out while the spider-man 60s theme song was playing in the bg. The two of them were talking in a foriegn language, possibly spanish or russian idk.
All this was in the style of an animatic/ sketch drawings and it really really scared me when I was younger. Now I tried typing in the description on google and YouTube and all I get are recent or old spider-man videos I watched but never the scary one.
If anyone could help finding a link or even have a file of the video. that'd be great. Thank you.
(below is a mock up sketch i drew from what i can remember)

Hi All,
I just booked my tickets to travel from Houston to Mumbai, with a <3 hour layover at Paris both ways.
My Delta app seems to want me to acquire a visa for France. Is that necessary if I’m only stopping there for a layover?
For context, I’m an Indian citizen with a US Green Card.
My trip’s in less than a month, so if I need to get a visa, I will need to change my ticket.
Any info would be appreciated!

Hi there,
I try to create a bot that is sending me simple alert when STC indicator do a color change. I think it will help me to understand and create my STC tradingbot, that im trying to write with chatgpt too.
I believe its all about that chatgpt isnt able to write as condition the STC indicator colorchange. Chatgpt cant write that as condition. Can someone explain me how to write this STC colorchange as condition?
Maybe that is the answer of everything. I managed chatgpt writing Heikin ashi candles right. He everytime write it wrong. I found the right code somewhere so im not totally useless.

//@version=5 indicator("STC Alert", overlay=true) // 200er EMA ema200 = ta.ema(close, 200) // Heikin-Ashi Kerzen berechnen heikinashi_open = request.security(ticker.heikinashi(syminfo.tickerid), timeframe.period, open) heikinashi_high = request.security(ticker.heikinashi(syminfo.tickerid), timeframe.period, high) heikinashi_low = request.security(ticker.heikinashi(syminfo.tickerid), timeframe.period, low) heikinashi_close = request.security(ticker.heikinashi(syminfo.tickerid), timeframe.period, close) // STC Indicator basierend auf normalen Kerzen stc_k = ta.stoch(close, high, low, 14) stc_d = ta.sma(stc_k, 3) // Farbwechsel-Bedingung var float last_stc_signal = na var int stc_signal_time = na stc_signal = (stc_k > stc_d ? 1 : (stc_k < stc_d ? -1 : 0)) if (stc_signal != last_stc_signal) last_stc_signal := stc_signal stc_signal_time := timenow stc_signal_valid = (timenow - stc_signal_time) <= 600000 // 600000 ms = 10 Minuten stc_is_extreme = (stc_k > 80 or stc_k < 20) // Bedingungen für Long und Short long_condition = (heikinashi_close > ema200) and (stc_k < 20) and (stc_signal == 1) and stc_signal_valid short_condition = (heikinashi_close < ema200) and (stc_k > 80) and (stc_signal == -1) and stc_signal_valid // Alarmbedingungen mit Labels if (long_condition and stc_is_extreme) alert("Long Entry Signal", alert.freq_once_per_bar) label.new(bar_index, heikinashi_low, "Long Signal", style=label.style_label_up, color=color.green, textcolor=color.white) if (short_condition and stc_is_extreme) alert("Short Entry Signal", alert.freq_once_per_bar) label.new(bar_index, heikinashi_high, "Short Signal", style=label.style_label_down, color=color.red, textcolor=color.white) // Plotten der 200er EMA plot(ema200, title="200 EMA", color=color.blue, linewidth=2) 

I've(23F bi) been in a relationship with my boyfriend(28M cis) for over 5 years, and we have been living together for 3 years. I recently finished university and I'm unemployed, been doing the house chores since we moved together based on mutual agreement (it's our first time out of our parents house). He works for the both of us and pays for everything. (I've had jobs but not full time so I spent the money on hobbies so I didn't have to rely on him so much).
I'm a cosplayer, and I keep a separate IG account for posting and interacting. My bf has always been supportive and keeps me company at conventions because I don't have many friends and have bad social anxiety.
A while ago he too wanted to cosplay, I helped him with everything and he created a cosplay account, I started to feel insecure when he would follow cosplayers that were doing +18 content, I explained to him how this made me feel and he would brush it off saying that I too made that kind of content (I had an OF, that he encouraged me to create, and never really announced it in my socials, so I always had very few people subscribed). He unfollowed specific girls that I would tell him, but never addressed the whole issue so he kept following this type of accounts.
Eventually I grew tired and stopped nagging him with the issue, but it never left my brain, I used to compare myself to these girls and would regularly check his following to see if he followed someone new, it was consuming a large portion of my sanity. What really broke me was finding out that he was messaging (we had access to our phones) some girls and complimenting them in a sexual way, so I confronted him about it and he told me it was not a big deal, that at the end of the day the one he loves its me, and doing that was just a way of getting out of boredom.
I already had infidelity issues because earlier (2 year mark) I found out he was messaging his ex, telling her that we were in bad terms and we opened up the relationship (not true), I confronted him about this as well and now he keeps her blocked, but it left a big scar and I used to check this girl profile and stories everyday multiple times a day, I would have nightmares about him messaging her again and meeting with her for a whole 3 years.
There has been 2 main break points in our relationship, once when I found out about his ex, he told me that he was bored of our relationship (we already lived together, and had quarantine restrictions because of COVID, he worked remotely so it was us 24/7 in the same apartment) and that the was looking for excitement, then I found out that the had a secret Tinder account asking for casual sex, I never got to see the messages.
We broke up and I returned to my parents house, where he blasted my phone with messages telling me how regretful he felt, and that if I gave him another chance he would be better. I forgave him but on the condition that we shared phone's passcodes.
The second break point was when he proposed that in order for our relationship to endure this hardship we had to include a third girl (i believe they're called unicorns) because in his eyes, i asked for too much (regarding affection) and because he wasn't very affectionate a new girl could give me that. And obviously he would get to fuck us both. I rejected this strongly because I'm monogamous, and we settled that a threesome could work out, we installed dating apps to look for a girl, and to this day we haven't found anyone. Along the days of the search I started to become numb, irritated at the minimum, cried every week and started to document every little detail/behavior that was making me fall out of love. Then one day I decided that this was going nowhere, and I told him that I didn't want to do the threesome, and because it was the only thing that would fulfill him it was better that we parted ways. So we did, and I went to my parents house for the weekend to think things through. He messaged me saying that why didn't I come up with a solution for us to be together because I said nothing. I talked to my mom and she told me that relationships this long shouldn't end without exhausting every little option. She made me come back and I did.
When I came back we talked, we agreed on things. I needed to quit snapping so easily and being irritated all the time, I needed to get a job, so I began studying again so I could get back on track. I asked him to be honest and loving, that we could try the threesome but under my terms (I would manage the account). And he said that I needed to delete my OF, so I did. He overstepped multiple times before doing things that I told him not to (like creating dating profiles for the threesome, when I specifically told him that I wanted to manage that) He also confessed to subscribing to other girls +18 content and I cried in front of him like never before.
I became even more hyper vigilant, and he once again was anonymously asking inappropriate questions to cosplayers. I decided to tell him and he became defensive, telling me how TF did I found out, that I was being dramatic and it was just a playful question, and if I keep looking for things it's obvious that I'm gonna find something. I went non verbal (I have asd) and I tried to shut me in my room, he didn't allow me and asked to discuss but I had a meltdown and I told him that if he didn't want me to get into his phone we should change our phones passcodes, and he would have to delete his cosplay account, so we did.
I've been paranoid again and I started to have nightmares of him messaging other girls again, he told me he deleted all dating apps, he assured me he did. But I know it's not true and he lied to me because days ago I saw he paid a subscription to a dating app we haven't used before. I don't have the energy to talk about that anymore. I don't know why am I still here, have I lost my identity? He says he wants to travel to the office (that's on the capital city) for work because he usually meets with his colleagues, and he can't bring me because tickets are expensive. I can't help but overthink that he will cheat on me, but at the same time I try to keep a mentality that if he wants to cheat, he will, and there's nothing I could do to stop him.
I don't want you to think of me as an angel either, I have ASD and I don't take meds for my anxiety, I'm needy and sensitive, don't have many friends, I just leave the house to go shopping and occasionally meet up with girl friends so Im very boring, i dont have a lot to talk about. Recently he posted on reddit about us opening up our relationship and I think he resents me financially because of the way he talks about me. I try to give him everything I can, I serve him breakfast, lunch and dinner, sometimes I bake pastries, I try to keep the house clean (we have cats so it's hard) I wash the dishes, do the laundry, manage the pantry stock, stay in shape, I consider myself attractive and been told so, we have sex almost everyday.
It's like I'm not enough for him, but he just wants me to himself (the polyamory/threesome can only be with a girl, I have proposed that we try with a man and he says he'd feel emasculated)
I don't really know what I am searching for writing this here, give me your thoughts, am i dumb?
And I think I'm traumatized.
I've been masturbating to threesome porn videos, sometimes I imagine the cosplay girls he used to send messages to while we have sex and I get more turned on.. orz

So I'm currently a early teenager and have butt length hair. I tbh am gonna grow more cause I am obsessed with long hair and prefer it that way. So recently one of my relative told my mom that I shouldn't grow my hair this long at this young age and that it will cause hairfall or hairless. So basically to cut it short for now and grow it later on so it doesn't cause haorloss. A few months back a grandmother of my friend also told me this. I don't believe it and think that it all leads down to how we take care of our hair. So I wanna know if there's any truth to this, cause even though butt length hair is the most common hair length in my areas,and mostly so many girl my age, younger than me and older has the same length hair. So if anyone knows if there's something to this or have any opinion on this please comment below because I'm really insecure about my hair for a few months and there should be a stop for it.

I was diagnosed with partial previa at 20 weeks scan (it was 0.8 cm over the cervix, posterior). It never moved an inch until 32 weeks. I scheduled with my doctor another check at 36 weeks , but at 34+2 I had my first bleed.
Wasn’t that much, mostly like a mild period. Was admitted for half a day and then discharged.
At 35+2, exactly a week later, I had a second bleed. This time it was more, still not enough to soak a pad, but was mostly like a big period… I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. I was checked, all was good and had to stay in the hospital. By the time I was there, the blood had stopped, so I was already having brownish discharged. The day after, they sent me home. It was 6.00 pm. Then, I was laying on the couch and at 11.30 pm I felt like a big gush in my underwear. I suddenly knew. My third bleed. At 35+3. This time it was a lot! Called the ambulance, went straight to the ER, the blood flow had decreased but given that my first pad got soaked in 3 minutes and that nit was my third bleed, I was asked the consent to get steroids shots for the baby lungs.
I was told that I could deliver via C-section that night. Luckily, the blood flow kinda stopped. It was scary. I got the second shots of steroids after 24 hours and today (35+5) I am still having a bit of blood loss - turning brown but still kinda purple. I haven’t passed clots since Sunday. I am wondering if that’s normal .. i just keep having some red/brown discharges.
I have an appointment with a gynecologist of friday to discuss my case. The appointment was initially the one we set for 36 weeks, when we had to check the placenta location. Given the 3 bleeds I had in the past week, I doubt that my placenta has moved. So i am prepared for a c section and I believe they will want to schedule it before 37 weeks.
What ‘s your experience? For how long did you bleed after your scariest placenta previa bleed? And when did you end up delivering after the bleeding episodes?

Hi, I'm a 26 year old male who's working in a corporate for last 4 years. I'm so done with my life, both personal and professional. I was a mechanical engineer by my_qualifications and left my core job during COVID to pursue my higher education and got some universities through IELTS but due to the COVID bubble, couldn't pursue. I had no other option but to join a company in a profile that has no future, did not realise at that time. Now, I've been looking for a job but not able to find anything meaningful.
I'll keep it brief, I want to pursue higher education from abroad but I'm lost. I don't know where to start and what to do, I'm sick of my life. I don't want to regret tomorrow that I didn't take the step when I had a chance. I had some issues that stopped me from going abroad before but now I guess I can manage, leaving my family, finances, hustle and other factors.
I want to pursue my MBA or any course that compliments my abilities of finance, management, business. I want to enter that line and I'm not anywhere close. I don't know which exam to focus on. I just don't want to go to the USA or Canada but anywhere else, I've heard GMAT is mostly for these countries hence I don't wish to give that.
If there is anyone who can spare some time to give me some perspective, guide me in some way, it'll be so helpful that you guys don't understand. I don't have many friends who will be useful in this spectrum, hence seeking reddit s help.
Tell me which counselor I can reach out to, which website, exams and so on. Not a person who needs hand holding but today I'm helpless and might need some, not even scared to ask openly, it's about my future.
Just so you know, I'm not in IT right now, it's something related to event and hospitality, that too backend, no scope ahead.
Please Help!!

Hi all,
So, my out of Warranty (3.5 years old) XBOX SERIES X stopped working and here is a post I wrote about the same: Original Post
I got the below estimate for repair: (Unauthorised Service Provider)

*Repair Estimate Confirmation - Receipt Number: XYZ** Dear valued customer,Thank you for choosing GADGETS for your Xbox Series X repair. We have assessed the reported issue and are ready to begin the repair process. **Repair Details**:- **Item**: Xbox Series X- **Issue**: Dead- **Repair**: - Replacement of power supply unit - Repair of power section and motherboard short - Replacement of connecting components and ICs - Replacement of power regulator IC - Servicing of internal components- **Cost**: ₹10,480/-- **Time**: 6-8 days If you are ready to proceed with the repair process, please confirm by replying to this message with "YES". 

I do feel a lot of things they promised for repair are "FILLERS" and are not necessarily a problem thing. Or maybe these details are all part of a package for a particular repair. So in my case, since its the PSU, they have these generic repair text details for the same! Microsofts "Bring your XBOX SERIES X to service centre for exchange at roughly around 25k" is not working. (Not being able to proceed!)
The issue here is if I spend 10.5k for repair and if it goes off again in a couple of weeks then I am screwed! Just wanted to get your takes on the same. Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for suggestions!

It’s different for everyone, but for me, it feels like burning in an eternal flame. Imagine your whole body is on fire 24/7. There is no way to put out the flame. It’s always there, and it hurts like hell. Now imagine trying to do some paperwork while feeling that pain, and when you try to focus on your paperwork, the pain increases significantly. Imagine trying to make a to-do list while your body is burning. Now imaging thinking to yourself that you have to endure this intense pain for years to come.
Here’s another analogy for you: Imaging that you are running up a very steep hill that goes on forever. You are extremely tired. Everyone else is able to run 4 times faster than you while feeling less tired. Everyone else takes breaks every once and a while to catch their breath, but you can’t take a break because you have to keep up with everyone else. Not only do you run slower than everyone else, you also feel more out of breath than everyone else, but despite that, you can’t stop to take a break. Even if you stop for 2 seconds, all your responsibilities will pile up and you won’t be able to get everything done. You can’t get an opportunity to rest. You are exhausted. You are breathing heavy. You’re sweating like crazy. Your muscles feel like bricks, but you can’t stop because if you do, your life will fall apart. You’re constantly treading water. Every second is precious to you because you take more time to do things than everyone else. Even when you experience a burn-out, you can’t rest.
You constantly feel restless all the time, and you feel even worse when you try to focus. Since you take longer to do things, you are constantly stressed out. Not only are you stressed out about all the things you have to do, you also get stressed out about focusing, because when you have ADHD, focusing is very difficult and very uncomfortable. Focusing inflicts what feels like physical pain on me, and I can’t stand it. There are two main types of ADHD: inattentive and hyperactive ADHD. I am the inattentive type. For me, my brain is hyperactive, but my body isn’t. I feel like I’m bouncing off the walls even though I seem relaxed to everyone else because all my hyperactive-niss is going on inside my head
What about you? Comment down below.

About a year and a half ago I graduated college with a bachelors degree in agriculture. I quickly landed a job with my universities agricultural research program, and I really enjoyed it. I signed a lease to stay in my college town another year and keep working that job and saving up money. I graduated earlier than most ppl my age, so many of my friends were still gonna be around, and it made sense to stay a while. Then my entire team got laid off for 'budget' reasons.
Fast forward to now, I have a new job that pays less, isn't really related to my field, and generally leaves me feeling unsatisfied. On the other hand, I feel pressure that I should be more grateful for this job than I am, because it's with a non-profit organization, is a safe space for me as a visibly queer person, and the job market is just generally terrible right now.
My apartment lease ends in July, and I have to decide between A. Find another apartment/roommates, sign a lease to stay in my college town another year, and keep working at this non-profit. (and deal with many of my good friends moving on from this place, which happens to me every so often, as most ppl don't stick around post-graduation) OR B. Leave this town and pursue my dreams to travel, mostly living out of my car, camping, and doing random seasonal jobs/WWOOF'ing. (WWOOF is a program where you work on farms in exchange for housing accommodation and meals, no payment, but as an agriculturist I'd value getting a range of different farming experiences and knowledge that college can't provide)
For context, I have a few thousand saved up to help fund the travel/nomad lifestyle for at least a while, and I am privileged in knowing that my family will help bail me out if shit hits the fan. But I'm afraid I'm just romanticizing that path as a way to escape the 9-5 grind, and might end up just as stressed living on the road without the comforts of a true home. I think I'm just reaching a point of burnout after years of being a full time student and worker, then going straight into working full time, and it feels daunting to imagine the rest of my life will be like this. I feel like I need to take advantage of my youth and freedom and go explore and see the world, but I'm afraid if I do so, it will be stressful in different ways and I may regret not sticking to the stability of a normal job and lifestyle.
Am I being delusional in thinking a period of travel / van life will ease my feelings of burnout? Has anyone taken a 'gap year' from work life like this, and were you able to eventually go back to working and felt satisfied with your travels? Open to any advice, I am just a lost 22 year old trying to figure shit out. Thanks

This is really hard for me to talk about because I struggle to understand & accept it and I don’t talk to anyone irl about it which sometimes sucks & makes me feel alone. So I’m gonna try this & see if anyone has anything useful to tell me bc I could really use any advice or support right now that I can get. This might be a long story so I’m sorry in advance.
I’m 22 and I’ve lived with my bf (24) for 3 years. We do everything together and in my opinion we’re very close and alike but in his opinion the love that we have/the love he gets from me is not enough bc about a year & a half into living together, we went thru some money struggles & his loss of a close family member which really affected him and he hasn’t really been completely the same since. But even before that loss, about a year & a half into our relationship, he decided to tell me that he’s decided he’s poly. Which I don’t agree with and I’ve made it clear. And I know the normal thing to do in that situation is go okay, well you need to leave him because you both aren’t on the same page with what you want in your relationship. I just want him to choose me and put me first like i do to him, he means everything to me. He is actually the only family i really have which is why it’s extremely hard for me to leave him. but i can feel him slowly slipping away from me. And i have tried to end things before kind of a lot of times, but we never end up following thru with it bc he apologizes, lies & says he’ll choose me over “being poly” , delete all the dating apps, stop liking naked pictures, or whatever the case may be at the time. Or he has said in the past he would go crazy & they would have to put him in a mental hospital if we broke up, bc he can’t handle another loss after his close family member passed. So obviously i feel guilty. I always just hoped in the back of my mind that one day he would wake up from this bullshit and stop with the “poly” phase and be loyal. But it’s not happening. & he always gets back on the dating apps or whatever else he does and acts like i’m in the wrong for not letting him “be who he is” which is “poly”.
In my opinion it’s one thing if he had made this great revelation BEFORE we started dating but it just makes me feel tricked that he didn’t mention it ever once UNTIL we had been living together for like a year already. Bc if he told me that when I met him I never would’ve dated him and I never would’ve fallen in love with him and moved in with him.
I look at his phone about once every 3-6 months & every time i do i find something new & bad. He always turns it on me saying i’m in the wrong for going thru it but I really wish I didn’t have to do that but if i didn’t i would never find out anything. Bc he claims he doesn’t want to waste my time with telling me about someone who’s just playing with him (like something that’s not serious) bc he hasn’t found any girl willing to go fuck off and be poly with him (i don’t think any girl like that actually exists.) despite his ongoing search for a new girlfriend (or “connection”). but yet i feel lied to bc when i look at his instagram he acts single & he dms so many random girls LUSTFULLY. And it’s so embarrassing. On top of that girls rarely reply to him bc no one wants a random man lusting in their dms. I had no idea this was the type of person he was or i wouldn’t be with him. And when i ask him about it he lies or covers it up saying he’s not like that and he isn’t lustful & that being poly isn’t about sex it’s about forming a connection with multiple people. Well if it wasn’t about sex then he wouldn’t be lusting after random girls in their dms. And btw instagram has been an issue in the past due to me finding out he hearted a pic of a girl he knew, basically a nude or a bikini pic. And the way that situation went was that he said omg i’ll delete my whole instagram and i’m done with it since this is a problem. But i told him no stop saying that shit you know you don’t mean it and you’ll be back on it in 3 days. He’s like no i mean it and yeah then in three days he was back on it. This happened a few times with other apps like tinder and every time i’m like please just save it bc we both know you saying you’re permanently off these apps isn’t true.
I don’t even have instagram anymore ever since i saw the bikini pic bc i just didn’t want to spend my energy anymore feeling like i wasn’t as pretty as the girls he follows or interacts with, so i actually followed thru and deactivated my whole account & haven’t been on it since. (at least a year) other than that i don’t use SM other than reddit & lurking on twitter sometimes & watching tiktoks. I’m not a SM girlie it not that I’m not pretty ( not trying to sound narcissistic) but i’m not an ugly girl i just really prefer privacy and don’t like posting myself online. But seemingly my bfs type is SM wh-res and i’m truly not judging the girls, I’m judging my bf.
This morning i looked at his instagram and found some extremely NSFW dms from him to a few random girls & found message conversations with a girl that’s poly that’s out of our state that he talks to often & opens up to her about things he doesn’t open up to me about, and gives her the nicest compliments that he never gives me, says she’s the prettiest girl he’s seen, sympathies w her over her personal struggles w life & relationships, calls the girl his soulmate & says they share a brain, complains about me not accepting him being poly & going thru his phone and being “threatened” by her & has shared some personal details about my life that i don’t share with people even my close friends. and much more. however he still spins it on me being in the wrong for not accepting him and going thru his phone. he never takes accountability for what he does & always lies about it not being as bad as it is and that i’m reading into things. the problem is i don’t believe what he does is poly i believe it to be CHEATING. I believe it is possible to have an honest poly relationship (not that i want one) but what he does is not honest. he has betrayed me, even tho he has never slept with anyone else while we have been in our relationship, and he has only gone on one date in person with someone else throughout our entire relationship (that date ended up going nowhere). (not that he even takes ME out on dates & if he does make a plan to go to the movies or a basketball game he always ends up inviting our friends along everytime.)
He still treats me with love and care & does a lot of things for me , he supported us when we went through our financial struggles after i got in a car accident & couldn’t work, he is always here for me but doesn’t really let me be there for him. I owe him a lot of rent money from the time that i couldn’t work & he paid rent by himself. He doesn’t hold my debt over my head but he mentioned it to the girl on instagram . which made me feel betrayed.
I told him off about what i found in his phone & took pics of the evidence which ive never done before & sent it to him and i want to know if i’m overreacting to his betrayal or if i’m in the wrong for expecting loyalty from my 3 yr relationship. /:
AIO my bf is emotionally cheating on me with instagram girls and out of state poly girl.

Hi y'all. I'm pretty much at my wits end.
I have a dermatologist appointment today but thought I'd ask around here anyway.
Backstory: I had eczema when I was really really young, honestly so young that the only thing I remembered of it was having a patch of it on my butt and my mom applying cream to it and then never really dealing with it ever again. She thought I had eczema on my face though it appeared as white patches and I vaguely remember this but for at least a decade or more I did not have eczema. My skin was perfect, genuinely so clear I didn't have to use much product on it.
Fast forward to November of 2019; I started taking hormonal birth control and noticed within a few months that I started getting eczema patches (also was having facial rashes but I thought this was due to trying out a new skincare) I went to the dermatologist who prescribed me Triamcinolone 0.1% ointment for my body rashes. I don't ever EVER remember using steroids much. I'd use it one to two days, and would stop when it starts to fade. Anyway my eczema was pretty lowkey in general and in 2021, we adopted a cat. I did notice my eczema worsening slightly ever since getting my cat but was managing with Triamcinolone (I think at this point my dermatologist prescribed me a tub of it I think December of 2021)
Again, I don't use steroid much and when I do I think it's really just for emergencies (my eczema was genuinely such a secondary aspect of my life I don't even remember much of how I managed it other than letting it ride and maybe applying steroid when needed). I remember the tub expired and I hadn't used even half of the ointment. I was also prescribed Mometasone and Fluoccionide? But I never used either of them as I didn't feel comfortable to.
In September of 2022, I caught COVID while overseas and it caused a pretty gnarly flare on the inner side of my elbows. Since I was overseas I just managed with moisturizing but I remember applying steroid when I came home. We adopted a second cat later this year.
Since then I think my eczema HAVE gotten worse, but there was a period of at least 6 months where I wasn't using steroid creams at all because I was either just dealing with it or it was barely there.
Fast forward to 2023.
I noticed a rash on the top of my right hand that I was initially managing with just moisturizing. But I remember having such intense itch on this rash that I kept itching, and at one point I itched with my shirt and it caused it to be infected. It was so gnarly, bright red, oozing, literally would not stop oozing, painful. I went back to my dermatologist 5 days later when I realized that oh this might be worse than just a regular eczema. She gave me Mupirocin and another tube of Triamcinolone (since my previous one expired) as well as a course of Doxycycline. I used the Mupirocin as directed for I think 10 days, and was not yet using Triamcinolone as I was worried about using it when it looked like there were still open wounds on it. I didn't finish my Doxy course because it was giving me horrible stomach pains. I came back to the dermatologist January 3rd and she told me it was OK to use Triamcinolone twice daily up to two weeks.
At this point I was already having eczema rash on my arms as well and some on my back but I don't think I was using Triamcinolone much on them (I'm pretty sporadic with using the steroid, I never really committed to the full 2 weeks)
Now, this is where things became a doozy.
January 5th: Caught strep, had difficulty breathing and had to go to urgent care. I was prescribed antibiotics, Prednisone (20mg, twice daily for 5 days), and Albuterol. I had asthma when I was younger and it's almost like it came back when I caught strep. My eczema was calm during this time and I thought it was because it rained a lot this week but now I realized it may be the Prednisone. Could not remember if I was using Triamcinolone as well on my hand during this time.
Sometime in early February: Went for a run and literally rolled my ankle so bad. Unrelated to everything else but my body sustained injury and looking back at old pictures I was starting to get patches of eczema on my legs.
Then I caught what felt like the flu in mid February and this is the first time my eczema flared to my face. My left eye was half swollen but at this time I thought it was from my sinus being blocked as it went away in a few days (though the rash stayed).
Early March: Got admitted to the hospital from Appendicitis. I spent 3 nights at the hospital and my eczema was literally non existent. No itchiness, just intense dryness but nothing else. I remember my friend noting my face was super dry but my rashes were slowly drying out. To be fair I was in so much pain the first day I was knocked out most the time from the pain medication they gave me and I was on a couple antibiotics due to the infection.
I came home from the hospital and this is when things start to really get insane. I got home, laid in bed, and immediately could not stop itching my neck and body. My face became swollen the next day but I was unable to take allergy meds because I was on antibiotics and had to wait for that course to be done. That eventually settled out.
I figured maybe I was having an allergic reaction to the cats (and thought maybe my mattress too, we had vacuumed it a few times and I suspected it disturbed the dust mites inside). I slept outside and on an air mattress for I think a few days, if not up to a week. The cats were still sleeping with me at this time and I was somewhat itchy but it wasn't the worst. Then I decided I was going to sleep in the bedroom again and this caused the worst flare I had ever ever EVER gone through. My face became so swollen, my left eye swollen again and it was oozing (this had NEVER happened to me before other than my infected hand) I don't know why this oozed since I never scratched my face, and my inner elbows, wrists and top of right hand got so red and puffy. At this point too my eczema on my right hand was starting to spread towards my palm. These areas also got pretty dry especially on my face. I called Teladoc Dermatology and they prescribed me Mupirocin for the oozing, Tacrolimus for the inflammation on my face and Triamcinolone for the body. He told me to apply Mupirocin first until the oozing calms, then stop and apply the other ointments.
At this point I had become SO SO SO terrified of TSW. It was all over my Tik Tok, my algorithm, I couldn't stop thinking and worrying about it and fearing that this flare is because I'm going through it. He told me to use Triamcinolone for twice daily for two weeks, then once daily for two weeks, then every other day for two weeks to help prevent rebound. I only used Triamcinolone twice daily for 5 days, then I did once daily for a few more days and by the time I saw my current dermatologist, I was using it every other day (I essentially tried to taper within the two weeks).
My current derma prescribed me Clobetasol and told me to mix 2oz of Clobetasol with 7.5oz of Vanicream or Cerave and smear myself in it once a day at night for one week, then once a day at night every other day for the second week. It was a very controlled instruction.
BUT I was SO afraid of TSW that I did not do this.
Instead, I took a one week break and I did 3 weeks of Triamcinolone, and even then I did it sporadically. I did about 10 days of once daily and then the second half I did twice daily. When I started doing twice daily was when I finally saw some improvements.
The problem is it has been a week since I last used any steroids and I have rebounded. Although my eczema rash genuinely looks so weird and I am having the dermatologist look at it properly today. My arms are constantly dry, my right hand (the problem spot since December) now have what looks like blisters on them and I never have eczema that look like this even though it's apparently common. The frustrating thing is that it feels like my eczema just keeps spreading. They are full body and it's freaking me out because it looks as if I have TSW even though I don't think I ever used steroids for that long at all, and I was only prescribed it back in 2020.
To be fair I thought I should've committed to the Clobetasol treatment because then we can see if the strongest steroid worked or not but I felt like I was going to flare again anyway and didn't want to use something really strong only for it to not work.
I had an allergy test done and I am allergic to both species of dust mites, dogs, cats, along with some other environmental things. I just don't understand why I am only now flaring uncontrollably like this. I am 95% covered in eczema. Either spots or just straight up long red rash. I am taking antihistamines daily and have been taking Probiotic pills pretty consistently (partly because I was on so many antibiotics back to back). I've been using Hyphocolorus Acid Spray as well.
On Sunday night, I tried to sleep over at my friend's place who did not have cats to test and see if my cats are my main trigger and I kept waking up itching myself, both my arms and legs and my chin and neck started oozing again. Which was INSANE as I did not itch either of them. The oozing on both have mostly stopped (I've only used Mupirocin and Vaseline to help control the infection and moisturize) but I just don't understand.
I'm scared, I have never had eczema become so severe so fast and I'm genuinely so scared. Something feels wrong but I don't know what it is. The way my eczema looks look like a combination of an allergic reaction and just a rash but I don't understand how I can have such an intense allergic reaction towards things I've been around all the time. We've lived in the same place since June of last year and the only thing I can think of is that we had the heater on almost daily in the winter and we found out end of April that our heater is incredibly dusty.
I'm getting my IUD removed next week as well as I'm confident birth control has something to do with my eczema coming back, and I plan to get allergy shots.
I'm just tired, it's consumed my life and it's causing me a lot of health anxiety. I look so genuinely terrible I can't even understand it.

Regardless what I do I can't lose weight. I am a 25 y old female. I'm 5'11" and pushing 280. When I was in high school I was really healthy. When i went to college i was 180 pounds. In my first year i gained 60 pounds. I found out i had endometriosis and also developed a binge eating disorder. through the next couple of years I worked on my relationship with food but continued to gain. While I was in nursing school I was 280 pounds and decided to try phentermine. I lost 15 pounds and kept it off. I had my son April of 2022 and then had my daughter June of 2023. With my daughter I produced so much milk. I was putting 40 oz in the freezer everyday. Because of this I got down to 255. When I got my first postpartum period my5 supply dropped down to only a couple oz a day so I decided to stop breast feeding. In a month I gained back 10 pounds. I decided to take my health serious and see a dietitian. since then I am back up to 280. my dietitian doesn't understand why I can't loose weight. I'm eating 1700 calories a day. I have seen doctors and they can't find anything wrong. I decided to see a functional doctor but if this doesn't work for me I'm thinking about using the shot to loose weight. I just don't know if its right for me. My metabolism clearly isn't working properly. My worry is I use semiglutide and loose the weight but immediately gain it back even though I made the lifestyle changes. Any advice or does someone have a similar experience?

i know this sounds crazy, but it womt be as crazy as you think when you read the story.
my ex-girlfirend of 3 years cheated on me right after she moved countries (guess it was the distance), it fucked me up and even when i (biggest mistake of my life btw) gave her another chance, she did it again with the SAME guy. im not going to talk so much about how much it hurt, but it was safe to say it was the worst pain in my life.
they guy we’ll call him brad, brad thought she was his girlfriend too, he even lived with her for the 9 months they were together, but he never knew about me, as soon as he did, he made his best efforts to contact me, and he did, told me that she lied, even when she admitted to cheating, she lied about how many times she had sex, and lied about basically everything, and that she’s a compulsive liar and lies about tiny things to his mom from what he saw.
i confornted her, “alexa, did you do this and that?” after pushing and pushing, she fessed up even after trying to make me feel bad for bringing it up again, and even when she fessed up she said “its not like that.. we didnt have sex again, we were about to but i stopped”, i went and told brad that, he said “PFFFT” and i went back to her and told her i have solid proof of what she did (bluffing but it worked), then she fessed up, everything, including that she raped brad, and that she physically assaulted him and was pushy for him to have sex with her every single time. she sounded different, almost like a sociopath, no.. she IS a sociopath, considering she started cheating right after i buried my dad.
the first time i found out she cheated, i was so extremely hurt, the second time? i surprisingly moved on in three days, and why is that? because me and brad became best buddies, he’d tell me about all these crazy stories alexa did, and i’d be like “YOOOO SHE DID THE SAME TO ME!”, and we sort of bonded on being victims of the same abuser. we both moved on, and i just.. i dont feel that sick feeling in my stomach anymore, i dont feel hurt, it feels so good, because the first time around it took me 3 months to BEGIN healing even.
brad suggested he brings me to america, since opportunity there is better than where im from, i told him “honestly, i’d go on a paddleboat if i had to”, and he asked if im willing to do anything for it, i said yes, and he said “hear me out, let’s get married”.
obviously we’re not in love, but the idea that there’s a chance i end up marrying HIM is so funny to me, this story lacks a lot of details because i already ranted about it a million times, and this time? im not hurt enough to be complaining, this is the first funny post about what happened that i made in the last year.
if you’re curious about anything, go ahead and ask me, im alllll experienced about falling in love with an abusing sociopath rapist.
