i understand where you're coming from, nona. it really does feel that way when you put it in that light

>>21995
This is not true. I'm into fat women, because they are soft and warm. :3

>>21995
>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

>>22001
It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

Eh, what makes him such an attractive character to many is simply because he's very undefined, making it easier for people to project whatever they want onto Leon. The same can be said with many other male characters in fiction.

I thought he was cute when I was in high school. I remember absolutely nothing about his personality or backstory tbh.

>>21954
He looks better in the fanart imo because the RE games' artstyle looks ugly to me and they made him look greasy. Also in the future he becomes fat which is a turn off personally, I like him as a twink

I read something a long time ago that suggested adjusting your diet to your blood type, or region. I've noticed with all the ex vegan testimonies I have seen, they are usually white or asian people. Brown people in the tropics can live on fruits and veggies without claiming to be malnourished or sick from it for some reason, but I still would never consider a child to be vegan due to people harming their health.

>>22155
what's the harm,

people calling you queer at the local monster truck event?

is your favorite publically traded pharmaceutical company losing stock price because healthy people would mean less potential customers?

We'll all be living in caves after everything is outlawed, but then you can be sure that living in caves will soon be banned in order to protect endangered bats.

>>22157
Living outside is already illegal because all the land is claimed by the rich and their corporations. They're selling off the state parks to the techbro billionaires as we speak.

The boxcars won't even be needed because Americans are so enslaved now that Americans will drive themselves to the concentration camps.

>Autism is caused by various poisons in the food and environment as well as giving babies 30 vaccines by the time they are 2, God fucking damn

God you're retarded.

I can't believe this glowie moid shit crossed over from that fucking place. No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics and don't screen for defects and then leave it up to god to sort it out after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility. I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.

>>20919
>No one wants to admit they have shitty genetics
sometimes i wonder if they believe that technology will save them and 'clean up' their shitty genes and all they are doing is holding out until technology has caught up to the place that they can pretend they have always been very healthy and well-maintained. i had average genes and after many years of living healthy and mindfully i have improved my genes. i guess most people don't know this is possible.

>after going to every length to ruin their overall health and fertility.
i just realized i have never once in my entire life heard anyone discuss the topic of maintaining fertility. while still being downstream from health, it is a topic worth discussing. legend states fruitarian women have very light and easily endurable periods because their overall regeneration is so healthy that there is hardly any blood involved.

>I bet most of these parents don't even breast feed or shook the kid cause it cried and are suprised it won't look at them anymore.
heh 😂 you just described the average parents and the reason most people are so fucked up in a single sentence, i love it.

I think we as a society should euthenize all the children. This world is not a good place for children whatsoever and they are better off dead before they reach the age of accountability and risk going to Hell.

My mom got so mad at me for getting my period. She hates the fact I'm a girl so much, it is not even funny. I am now 21 and still have to deal with this because I live with my parents.

>>21888
I was 14 taking a bath when all of the sudden I noticed brownish looking mucus floating, I freaked out and thought it was diarrhea from trusting a fart, turns out I had just caught my period in the very beginning stages.

>>21895
that sounds awful nona. why did she get mad?

>>21909
My mom REALLY wanted me to be a boy.

I'm having an expected and unusually heavy period. I take subscription iron supplements but I'm so exhausted and unstable right now.

Imo, thin and curvy is ideal (as in mostly narrow but with wider hips). Unfortunately I'm not curvy, I'm more rectangular, I have to stay thin or else I look bad.

thin and flat but with nice waist, just extremely small sick looking

I wish i was tall I seethe every time somebody brings up how short I am i hate it so much. I dont care what body type I just wish I was tall so I could look at people beneath me the way talls look at me now. They mess around with me too saying shit about how theyre letting middle schoolers in wherever I am and asking if i lost my parents. fucking talls should turn short for a day to know what its like. In high school they used to just pick me up just to mess with me. I hate all talls.

I’m happy with my general body shape but sometimes I wish I was petite. I also wish my tits weren’t as saggy.

I have fattened breasts from eating so much crock pot roast beef. I look like someone literally stuffed me.

>>20216
Yeah, sure, my hallucinations and delusions were just a myth invented by ebil corpos.

Returning to the topic of the thread.

>Do you take any? Which ones?
Currently I take paroxetine and quetiapine (ESL, so I don't know their murican names)
>When did you start?
Year ago when my parents finally made me visit to psychiatrist. I felt so bad, that I wanted to be hospitalised despite knowing how shitty my country's psych wards are. Luckily, my genetic disease saved me from going there.
>Are you diagnosed with anything?
Either schizotypal personality disorder or psychotic depression. Yeah, I've been through psychosis and not just once.
>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
I was lucky to have my antidepressant correct from beginning, but finding a right antipsychotic took some time. I've tried aripiprazole, but it just gave me bad extrapyramidals. Olanzapine made me gain weight very quickly, so it was cancelled.
My current meds are working fine, but I have a fear that once I drop them, I'll return back to shitty state and maybe even worse. They make you dependant, for sure, but it's the case with many meds used against chronic diseases, not only with antipsychotics and antidepressants. Many gastroenterological meds such as laxatives and inhibitors of proton pump make you dependant on them as well, but I guess, becoming a bit dumber than usual is bigger problem than not being able to shit by yourself and having strong stomach bain and heartburn every time you're off your meds.

>>18794
>Do you take any? Which ones?
Zoloft 100mg (seeing doc in a couple days, bet she will increase it), pregabalin 75mg 3x.

>When did you start?
Feb, I think? maybe earlier

>Are you diagnosed with anything?
PTSD. Scumbag psychologist insisted I "did not seem like someone with PTSD" but both a psychiatrist, and later a hospital diagnozed me with PTSD. Also, depression, dyslexia, dyscalculia.

>Which ones have you tried? Did they work?
Mirtazapine, big regret. Useless for anxiety, could of been useful if the psychiatrist educated me and pointed out only SSRIs help anxiety. So I wouldn't had wasted time and money.

Zoloft tho…it feels like nothing changed and I am still me. Yet my anxiety finally is beginning to chill the hell out. Everything feels normal until "wait…did I just…walk up and talk to that librarian? wait, did I legit just order food on my own, and even was able to walk back up to the cashier and ask him to correct my order? wait….. I MANAGED TO GET INTO SCHOOL?? wait wtf I CAN NOW MANAGE TO CALL MY DOC INSTEAD OF RELYING ON EMAILING HER??" I also find it mind blowing, I was too scared to go to a piercing studio, not cuz pain, but because of severe social anxiety. I had a friend walk me to the place, and still I was under tons of fear since I'd have to eventually go in a room alone with the piercer. But now, I can do it fine all on my own, with just awkward nervousness, no biggie. I also now have the balls to ask for directions from strangers.

Oh, same anon still. I want to empathize the irony of all this: programming + building breadboard and arduino projects is a huge hobby of mine that means a lot, but keep it mind it requires hyper focusing and logic. A soldier with PTSD told me "don't idle. constantly do something, outside of games. that helps with PTSD slowly get under control", and a friend also said to keep depressin at bay find some hobby you can be consistent with. So Zoloft making programming and my IT school harder to focus in is hugely ironic and annoying. But eh, I try to make it thru. We all have more control over our lives than we think, we just gotta keep trying, chief.

You do realize these meds were invented to replace lobotomies and "female hysteria" treatment, right?

I always come back to this thread. Thinking about taking welbutrin permanently so I don’t have to live properly but still be pumped with adrenaline

I'm on the lookout for a new bag, I tend to carry a ton of stuff with me every day, but my day-to-day purse is so uncomfortable to wear over my shoulder, it has a thin strap that digs in, especially if I have a small water bottle in the purse. I know ideally I'd get a backpack for all my shit, but I find them mostly unfeminine and not practical to grab things out of quickly. My clothing usually doesn't have pockets so anything I carry is in there.

TL;DR
What should I get that holds a vast amount of items, is comfortable and doesn't dig into my shoulder, but isn't a huge bulky backpack? Picrel in black is what I have been using for the last 3 years.

my main bag

i like the simple 100% cotton bags from the crafts store. they can be dyed into any color so they always match my favorite current style. i always have plenty of them, so when i just need one that is empty for some one-time purpose i always find an empty one without having to empty a bag out. when they get dirty i just wash them in the washing machine. in theory i have pens that wash out so i could temporarily paint something on one but i just realize i have never done it.

>>21850
woah, what bag is that? thats so cute!

I saw a woman with a cute pink plaid bag today that I want but I don't know the brand. I love denim for summer bags.

>>21897
birth control, heating pads, CBD, midol, orgasms, ive heard some teas help, some people have reported acupuncture helping, lower back massages, and certain supplements.

as for the overflow of blood, I'd suggest a super tampon during the day along with a pad. for nighttime ive heard of girls straight up using diapers that women typically buy after giving birth.

>>21259
I don't think I have pcos but i'm brown so I get an annoying amount of upper lip hair. trying learning how to thread or getting small facial razors that won't irritate your skin to use daily.

also i'm about the same weight as you and I think you just need to lose like 10 pounds or even now, you're fine. I hope the best for you. I wonder why >>21260 called you that

>>21259

unironically and I know it sounds like alternative medicine bullshit but spearmint tea. I have PCOS where I get lots of facial hair on my chin especially and jawline/neck acne but once I started buying loose leaf spearmint only tea and having a cup or two of that a day (I recommend adding more hot water to the first batch for your second cup in the morning and having another cup of tea at night). when I tried this consistently, within the first week I noticed the jaw acne stopped coming back and it let the old ones heal and the chin hairs basically stopped growing minus one or two, but at rates much slower than usual.

>>21586
what brand do you buy from nona?

>>21590
Not op but you can buy spearmint leaves from the grocery store and wash it and boil it in just plain water for 5 mins on medium heat and then strain it and you have the tea.

>>21259
Sounds like what's happening to me.
