Ive always had a complex about not having blue eyes then I kinda brainwashed myself into only liking hazel-brown/green eyes(my eye color) and finding blue eyes not appealling at all (no offense to any anons w blue eyes! i realize that this is an unhealthy coping mechanism)
Some copes I use are that id rather have an eye color that is forest/leaf colored than sky colored, that gerard way wouldnt look the same without his eye color, cats look wierd with blue eyes, flora from winx, asking ai to write poems about eyes the color of various stones including peridot, jade, moss agate, green tourmaline, tsavorite garnet, emerald, its too northern, think about how megan fox looked before plastic surgery, huskies look creepy and like jeff the killer, blue eyes are more like summer and green is more like spring my fav season, etc. and it worked. These days I can appreciate all eye colors(courtney love has blue eyes and doesnt seem like a homewrecking pickme so i think about her when i feel bad and want to appreciate blue eyes) but using those copes helped me be confident with my eye color. which is extremely difficult even today because blue eyes are still praised so much. I have a theory that most men love blue eyes because of racism and or that they were conditioned to love blue. I have a further theory that since men dont see colors as vibrantly as women, they dont see green eyes/hazel eyes like we see them, which is sometimes a more vibrant shade than blue. Pic related has a very vibrant eye color, i think it reflects his dynamic scottich/italian ancestry.

It's not a big deal but if I could change the color of my eyes with ease, I'd make them green. I always thought green eyes and tan skin is super pretty.

>What's your eye color?
basic brown
>What's your favorite eye color?
i guess amber
>Do you like your eye color?
its basic, i just feel neutral about it, i don't like how in normal light it looks generic dark brown but i do like the shade of light brown it get when light directly illuminates it or how it looks black in low light not to mention once in a blue moon it gets this really nice shade of reddish brown is the lighting conditions are just right
>Would you change your eye color to your favorite eye color
no, i wouldn't fit my face and skin, i tried different eye filters and it seems like the best color that would compliment my face would be blue or green
>What's something good about your eyes?
they are pretty basic looking, there isn't much to say about it, like wow i have dark brown eyes so is the majority of the human population, big deal

Anonymous 20424

Dark brown, I used to not like it but now I think they're pretty.

Replying to a 1 yr old post but my old classmate was Afghan and had eyes exactly like this, to this day one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. It was like she walked in and she has 2 flashlights for eyes, you were just drawn to them.

Muh nose sucks

Anonymous 19835

Don't jump down my throat, but I'm against cosmetic plastic surgery in general because I don't think women should have to go under the knife just to feel good about themselves. Look at all the ugly wretched men out there who don't feel an iota of shame about how they look, then look at the women next to them who look fine but hate themselves for some reason. For example, >>19826 , there's nothing wrong here. I don't know what mirrors you're looking into.

Ask yourselves:
>Who is making me feel bad about how I look?
>Would I be as harsh on one of my friends with similar features?
>Where do I stop? What features? What age?
>Why do plastic surgery results seem to end up looking just one way? As in, why don't you see rhinoplasties offering wider noses, or ones offering to emphasize a dorsal hump?

I'm not controlling or shaming anyone, I just think you all have worth far beyond what you look like. And you can spend that money on a fun vacation or an awesome hobby instead.

How many times a day do you wash your face? When I was a teen with super oily skin and acne I used to wash it 3 times: after wakin up, before lunch and before bed.

I'm fine in terms of piercings, I think, but I really want to get my tongue split (been meaning to for a few years, it's just expensive and will take a while to heal)
I've also considered permanent fangs and elf ears, but I'm probably not going to do either any time soon (especially not the ears, since that would fuck with my existing piercings)

Drugging the population with benzos, SSRIs and amphetamine-derivatives is a central pillar of modern culture.
A population essentially vegetated and farmed, made passive, impotent and malleable by drugs. It’s easy to see why this is both profitable and desirable for elites & investors.
They want to start you on these drugs as early as possible, while your brain is still developing. And they want to make you believe the drugs and associated ‘mind-disorders’ are part of your personal identity. That’s their trick and you all are falling for it.

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.

>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.

Rant incoming I don’t think there’s any advice that could ever help me out. I’ve been struggling with vision problems for the past 7 years of my life due to some rare disease I don’t want to name so I can’t be identified. My left eye is the one that is being affected by it and I’ve had DOZENS of procedures varying from eye injections, eye surgeries, even implants put into my eye. Doctors don’t know what caused it. I’m just sick of this shit I haven’t seen a specialist in a year now even though my vision is worsening. I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to go into the doctors anymore. I now have a big blind spot in my left eyes central vision. That amongst the many surgeries and needles they put into my eye are causing my eye to become lazy/droopy. I’m very self conscious of this, not even that long ago some normie asked me what was wrong with my eye and why does one look tired and one looks awake. I also live in fear that this disease will also somehow start effecting my other eye as well. I can’t enjoy anything outdoors anymore because I have major light sensitivity and I have a bunch of floaters in my vision. I can barely even read on a screen because I just start seeing double once my left eye gets tired. I’m ready to just rip my eye out and wear an eyepatch for the rest of my life.

Gyno + laparoscopy would remove any Endo/cysts making periods painful. No hormones needed

If a doctor immediately throws you on BC with no further testing do not see that doctor again, BC can make endo worse

Also staying hydrated + taking ibuprofen. I drink a lot of sugar-free Gatorade or something with electrolytes during my period

I wish I could have sex Anonymous 20222[Reply]

Posting this here in case someone who relates has advice.

I'm bisexual and have been with both men and women. It's always the same story. I feel sexual attraction toward them, and I can orgasm through masturbation just from thinking about them, but as soon as we go to have sex my vagina clenches and I can't feel aroused by any stimulation, much less orgasm. Partners in the past lost interest in me for it, even though I figured out how to get them off while not feeling anything myself. I'm not uncomfortable during it, nor do I feel awkward, more frustrated that my body doesn't allow me to feel aroused when another person is there.

Right now I'm with the perfect guy who is a lot more understanding than the others, although he says he feels bad that I'm pleasuring him but he can't pleasure me. We relate to each other and love each other so much. He's the kind of guy I would marry and start a family with, but I can't even do PIV.

I have blurry memories of what could have possibly been sexual abuse as a child from a parent, but I'm not entirely sure it was. I'm currently in DBT therapy with a good therapist who's helping me work through a lot of childhood trauma but because my therapist is male I'm embarrassed to ask him about help with sex.

I don't know what to do.

Anonymous 20243

I have this issue due to memories of possible childhood abuse as well. I was finally able to have PIV with my partner last year but I still don’t feel anything pleasant, or really anything at all. I’ve been told that’s common for women but idk if that’s true or if maybe a ton of women are sexually traumatized and experience that as a result. My OB/GYN told me to go to a sex therapist and I’m still considering it. What’s most important is communicating things with your partner. If someone gives you shit for this, they’re not worth it. You literally can’t control it.
But anyways my best advice is to seek a separate female therapist who has experience with sexual dysfunction etc. because opening up about it and feeling uncomfortable might make everything around the experience feel worse
