  • medical woes

    My problem was developing really severe lactose intolerance as an adult, not knowing what the problem was, and making the problem worse for months before I figured out what was wrong and went vegan. Now I don’t have the original dietary issue, but I’ve been in near daily pain ever since and tried basically everything short of surgery - sometimes I’ll have relief for a day or two if I’m extremely careful about what I eat and do (no alcohol, no sitting for more than a couple hours at a time, no walking too much either) but the issue always comes back.

    It’s gone on long enough to have pretty severe impact on my self-esteem, and being a mermaid girlfriend who can’t have sex has been fucking fantastic for my relationship.

    It would be nice if I had any clue how long it will take for me to see a doctor about it. My primary care provider didn’t have any estimates, just said my butt looks really bad and I need a referral to a butt doctor about it.



  • medical/sex stuff and dysphoria

    Hemorrhoids are fucked yo. I’ve been waiting months for a surgery referral for a painful injury I’ve had for months and months now. Between this and my bottom dysphoria, I feel like a fucking mermaid girlfriend for how much it’s killed my sex life. I so wish I could just walk into a clinic or something to get this shit fixed but instead I guess I’ll be celibate and in daily pain until my doctor and insurance company figure out WTF they are doing.

    It makes me feel so gross and inadequate and I worry that I’m missing some essential step to getting it fixed. Doc said she put in a referral and now I should wait for insurance to pick a butt doctor for me, but I’m still waiting

  • Reinstalled Subnautica with a bunch of mods.

    So I have this really severe phobia of baleen whales, have all my life. I turn into a crying snotty mess, it’s bad. It’s even happened a few times scrolling on this site! (People post funny memes that my lizard brain takes as a threat).

    My bf was surprised to see me installing this. Had to explain that it’s only regular underwater scary, and that nothing in the game could be nearly as bad as a a typical “inspirational” image of our irl sea monsters.
