Hey everyone,

I’ve got a situation, and honestly, I’m too embarrassed to bring this up to anyone in my actual life. A couple of years ago, in what I now realize was a moment of questionable judgment, I signed up for a phone contract. Things got tight, and I fell behind on the payments. I missed everything from last November until February, when I finally got hit with a notice saying they were going to freeze my account and start collections. I have a checking account at Chase that I need to use to deposit some money I earned working a campus job, but I’m spiraling. Does anyone know if they'll block my account immediately? If they haven't yet, how long do I have before it happens? And will they just snatch that $200 the second it hits my balance? Not sure what my next move should be..

Hey everyone,

I have a problem, and honestly, I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone in real life. I’m a student who thought I was being smart two years ago by getting a phone contract, but then things got tight and I missed some payments. Basically, I went from November last year until February without paying, which triggered a notice saying they’d cancel my service (contract ends in June), terminate the agreement, and start debt collection. I have a checking account where I’m expecting a small paycheck from my campus job, and now I’m spiraling wondering if my account is already frozen or when it might happen. Will they grab the $200 as soon as it hits? I'm lost. The agency handling the collections is Prima Solvent—does that mean it gets automatically deducted? Or if I know exactly when the deposit lands, could I move it out before the IRS gets involved? fin :P

That would be pretty foolish, wouldn't it? 🤦

My doctor is in a different city, and between my college classes and working weekends, I honestly don't have the time. 124 miles😢

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll check in with him once he can recommend some other options. There's no point in worrying about pregnancy if I'm not even having sex. 🙂

Does every single pill cause this? I'm currently on Bell, so perhaps I should have a word with my gynecologist about switching. These haven't given me any other side effects, at least.

Hi,

I've been dealing with this issue for about a month or two now. I can't seem to get lubricated, which makes sex painful and pretty much impossible. I'm on birth control—been taking them for four months. Everything was fine for the first two, then I dealt with a yeast infection and used some vaginal creams and suppositories to clear it up. That’s when the dryness started. The infection is gone, but the dryness isn't. I suspect it might be the pill; I took a week off recently, and by day eight, things were back to normal for once. As soon as I resumed the pills, the dryness returned.🤷
