My first month on Yaz was absolute hell. The depression hit me so hard I couldn't even get out of bed—I just spent my time crying and sleeping. There wasn't even a reason for it... I’d be sitting there playing cards on my PC and suddenly start sobbing. Just out of nowhere. I felt like I was losing my mind and seriously considered quitting, but I told myself I'd give it one more month. If things didn't improve, I was done. Well, here I am, two years later, and the depression hasn't even touched me.

Honestly, I think your issue is that you're switching pills too frequently. Give your body a little time to actually adjust—if that doesn't work, then you change.

Anyway, I’m digging through my old texts now because I almost certainly told my boyfriend I was officially starting birth control, so we’ll see how it goes... 😁
What if I can't find the info? Is there a way to start the next pack on a specific day and then use backup protection for seven days, or is there some other trick to it? ^^''

EDIT: Found them! Got the texts, got the dates—my next pack starts on December 23rd. 🙂

Stick to the same day every week—it’s just easier that way. Since the cycle is exactly 28 days, you’ll always be starting a new pack on that same day... simple enough.

Did you notice any clear signs that your period was starting before you actually began taking the pills? Can you remember exactly when your cycle hit right as you started that first blister pack?

You always start with the same day of the week—just remember when you used to begin before, and voilà...

Ditch Adblock Plus and that element hiding helper. Zero ads—I don't even see those side marketing boxes anymore. 🙂

Look, don't mention it. Are you planning on actually stopping this harassment now? ☕

So what if someone actually gets hold of your IP address? You should realize there’s practically nothing they can do with it... unless they have some massive influence at an ISP or a federal warrant in their hands.

mistywolf17, something about copyright or whatever...

I’m with you, dustycrane8—if things ever actually get to that point, that person ought to take a break from the forum for a while, IMHO.

Not really—but at the end of the day, once you post a photo on Reddit, you can't complain when someone else decides to comment on it over in a different thread. This reminds me of that one debate where some guy tried to claim dainty had no right to share info he'd already leaked about himself elsewhere. 🤣

Seriously, honey, you're killing me. 😢

Anyway—you can't really complain when someone uses a photo of yours that you posted on this forum yourself.

Anyone who hasn't mastered basic internet etiquette should probably pick up a book on it immediately.

It’s wrong to dig up images from deleted threads—morally speaking, it just isn't right—but you're the one who posted that picture here in the first place.

Btw, if we're talking about that thread over on Reddit regarding footwear, that one hasn't been deleted. 😬

Timothy Robinson2 said:That isn't true at all. Only the person who owns the image has the right to publish it publicly. Just because something is posted online doesn't mean it enters the public domain. Especially since the thread was locked and deleted, it's more like leaking private info.

Anything you post on Reddit becomes the property of Reddit, not yours.

Charles Morris4 said:So wait—if you put photos and info on your Facebook profile, and I get my hands on them through some mutual friends who happen to be your friends, then I post them in an off-topic thread... is that just "the end of the story" too?

Jason, think about it. End of story?

That’s a different matter entirely—but you need to realize that once you put something out there on this Reddit, there's no taking it back.

Yeah, it's rude and it's low-class, sure—but you surrendered that privacy the exact second you hit "send" on a post containing a photo.

I’ll use this thread to respond to Melody, since she decided to call me out.

MelodyNine said:Forum user Kate Foster12 has, predictably, decided to gloat about the fate of this very thread—which she participated in—remarking how she "finally understands why it's Kokošinjac." A profound insight, I'm sure. And incredibly petty, considering the girls she used to chat with so intensely—the ones she constantly cited when launching her own campaign for Trash moderator, claiming she had "all of Kokošinjac on her side." There's a thread about it if you care to look.

That was pure sarcasm. Honestly, feathers are flying everywhere here. If you took that as a provocation or gloating, maybe you should take a beat—take a deep breath, count to ten, or however long it takes to settle down...

Also, having served as a moderator myself, I know exactly how new moderators are selected—and it isn't through revolts on USA. My goal was simply to breathe life back into Trash, which you repeatedly described as dead in your own thread over at Kokošinjac. Sad.

Me, having all of Kokošinjac on my side? I talk to maybe three or four people there, none of whom belong to that "inner circle"...

MelodyNine said:In that lovely essay presented as the top topic on USA, it claims "malice" won't be tolerated on the forum. Really? You're at war with malice? How thrilling. Several users complained to me that Kate Foster12's comment—along with others who joined that chat to lecture people they were just talking to yesterday about their kids, problems, migraines, depression, or small joys—was perceived as deeply malicious. But lo and behold, that post wasn't flagged as a provocation or malice. It wasn't even carded. Meanwhile, mine was reported to admin with lightning speed for "provocation" and "persistent commenting on moderation," even though I only commented on that chat topic twice in two posts—since I wasn't even on the forum. I did the rest on USA. Commenting twice is hardly "persistent."

Furthermore, those who find my comment offensive but haven't been banned are more than welcome to comment—either in the thread or via PM. That's what threads are for: discussion, not for people to mark their territory...

This forum isn't Facebook. There aren't any likes to chase here.

You clearly have the ability to write a decent post when you want to—apply that same standard to other threads...

Ashley Price82 said:Fine, let's talk points—but why the deletion? 🙄

Who cares about likes? Are you just hitting buttons or actually engaging? If you can't back up your stance with an actual argument, the post is pointless.

I finally get it now! Thanks a million! 🙏

Thanks, but this still isn't hitting the mark. Those tutorials don't cover what I'm actually looking for—plus, you misunderstood my point about the arrow needing to be positioned above the number rather than beside it.

It would have been nice if you actually explained the process—that’s what I was asking for in the first place. Whatever, thanks. 🙂
