in an ideal world we wouldn't have to go to work while free-bleeding, but stay home and nurture our bodies and souls while going through this experience.
Medical gaslighting is when a medical professional dismisses or downplays a patient's symptoms, concerns, or experiences. This can happen when a doctor: •Tells a patient their symptoms are "all in their head" •Labels a genuine health concern as an overreaction •Minimizes a patient's symptoms without addressing them properly •Tells a patient they are too young to develop a chronic illness or cancer Medical gaslighting can have serious consequences, including: Delayed diagnoses, Poor health outcomes, Damaged trust in the health care system, and Reduced likelihood of seeking care.
Postpartum blues is a mild, temporary form of depression that affects up to 85% of new mothers. It's caused by hormonal changes that can cause anxiety, crying, and restlessness, but usually goes away within two weeks. Postpartum depression affects about 12% to 16% of women in the US. It can also affect fathers and partners.
Our society didn’t know much about postpartum during this time; mental illness or any desire to get professional help was very repressed for anyone in the Christian faith. This case reminded me of the film Shutter Island.
Was at a high school football game with extended family, all married couples. They all get mentioned “This is my sister Y and her husband X this is my brother x and his wife Y. Then they get to us and this is my brother Y and… *long pause* *awkward intonation* his BUDDY Brian. (We’re married. Same as them.) That kind of hurt. But we joked about it and occasionally call each other BUDDY *awkward intonation*.

It seems like even though the artists are at the forefront of the screen when being interview, but the people directly behind them always draw my attention more. I believe because they are not still, I pay more attention to their position and body language and just listen to the person being interviewed. I am sure the artists do too when they look back on all the videos on the internet they are in. Plus people get paid to be body language experts but I would like to meet one to see how accurate they are. You almost have to know everything a person is thinking and know them well and what their day was like or month to get it right, unless they are also just gifted to do that. 🙂
I'm gay but me i don't care about all questions ! It's normal and human to ask these question, and I respond honestly, like it's not state secret. Like I answer that i'm the girl (even if i'm male) no problem about that. Cause I understood their question.
I guess I always took for granted how openly affectionate me and my boyfriend are in public when it comes to kissing, holding hands, head on the shoulder, hugs, etc… See, me and him like to play this little game when, every time we go out, we look for other cute couples who are our age. And when we find one (sadly rare), we’re always shocked at how we’re suspicious that they might be gay, but we can’t tell because they NEVER HOLD HANDS🤬 Infuriating, because they’re young and we’re young and we feel that the fear should be less and less as the generations go by, but there are still reasons under the surface for it probably🤷🏻♂️
Im Asian American. I get racial profiled and stereotyped. When I talk about white privileged and white supremacy, white people get offended by that. Double standard.
Probably the most annoying question "who's the girl in the relationship?" But I understand why their asking it. My answer, when you do it, do you always do the same things? They probably say no, then they probably worked out why it's a stupid question.
Being gay, I've heard many of these questions. The one question on who plays the male and female is the most common. Asked if we were brothers was up there too.
I was with my boyfriend for 33 1/2 years. One thing we always did, no matter how happy or angry we were with each other was to say We Loved Each other before we went to sleep. Even when he was in the Hospital from a stroke, I would visit him and tell him I loved him. I told him the night before he died, I loved him. He died at 6:00 the next morning. I learned that from Dear Abby. Never go sleep mad because if you die in your sleep, the last thing you said was not nice.
Love is not love so wrong. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him
I'm SO glad I don't deal with periods anymore. I got a hysterectomy due to non stop bleeding that I dealt with for years. Do not miss my period at all 😄✌️
