    Re: THE RANT THREAD!

    So... hormonal birth control is pretty hard on me. So I decided to get the paraguard. Go in and they ask, "You allergic to copper?" Why didn't I think of that? So now I'm back to being on the pill until I can convince a doctor that I'm mature enough/informed enough/decided enough to get a tubal done... which is just another notch in that decision. I'm seriously POed that they didn't tie them when I needed a C-section. Paperwork was on file for it. My mind is made up. I am getting this done.

    I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
    It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
    Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

      You might try the mirena. Even though its hormonal, its localized. I've known women that have problems with hormonal BC that can do the Mirena (and some that can't). It might be worth a shot.

        I LOVE my Mirena. I had a Paraguard and it was okay, but I had cramps and more bleeding. With Mirena...I haven't had a period in THREE YEARS. Best thing ever.

          I saw on tv last night that one of the ADHD medications (I forget which, but it wasn't Ritalin or Adderall) were causing gynecomastia in some males. I would kill my doctor. By suffocating him with my hairy man boobies.

            I was on risperdal, which is actually an anti-psychotic, for adhd. It was not fun times. Boob growing is one of the possible perks that, luckily, I wasn't blessed with.

            Those pills are a huge part of the reason why I have a crappy relationship with my mom and don't trust doctors/medicine as much as I should.
            Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

              I find it disturbing how normalized emotionally abusive/possessive relationships have become. That shit's not okay and it shouldn't be normal.

                That seems to be how it goes for many of us with mental or emotional problems: "Oh, you're messed up in the head? Take these pills, they'll mess up your mind even more and maybe even your body! "

                No kidding. Even after describing in detail the "conflict" between my father and I, which began as verbally abusive and ended in physical abuse, many people have encouraged me to forgive and try to maintain a relationship with him. I don't get it. Not at all.

                  Some things in life you must just let go of Clive..sometimes even family..I had to do this with my Mother because my presence would set her off in an anger fit. I worried that I might be the cause of her having a heart attack. I never fully understood why she reacted this way,I never had bad thoughts about her except that she was a VERY controlling person,and I myself am not someone she could control ever. I was the black sheep of the family,being that my brother and sisters were kinda always under her control. In life,truly you are always alone,except when you allow another into your personal space,and YOU can rescind that offer of allowing someone in at any time.

                  Hope your time with Philip(can't remember if that is the right name) is relaxing and enjoyable Clive.

                    If I don't have estrogen in my BC, my vulvar vestibulitis flairs up. All other BC I've been on makes me really hormonal/emotional. I could try it, but I really don't want to put it in just to have to take it out a few months later like I did the implanon thing, if it does anything similar. Pelvic exams are extremely difficult for me. I don't want to imagine how much something like that'll hurt. I'll bring it up to the doc.

                      My temperature keeps going up. I'm at 102 now and drenched in sweat. My head and eyes are killing me. I'm coughing and my nose is clogged and I can't walk more than a few feet because standing makes me nauseous, probably because I haven't eaten in two days. On the bright side I'm not experiencing debilitating shivering for the moment. For some reason my ear started bleeding around my piercing. I got those back in February and they were healed so I don't know what's happening there.

                          You're very kind, sir. It's true that certain memories still plague me at random moments, and being human I do miss my father and sometimes have a wild urge to contact him. But I know that just because I miss him doesn't mean he isn't still an a-hole. He's 42 and won't ever change. Hell, I'm still angry at my late mother for a lot of things. How to let it all go, I don't really know. Forgiveness is for people who have learned something, grown somehow...he never will and a dead person can't.

                          I am indeed very happy to have Philip here.

                            Clive, I'm estranged from my mother. Sometimes people will start talking like they think I should reconnect with her. They always say "You only have one mother", and I always reply "GOOD". Keep toxic people out of your life!
