Hey there! Quick question about the 7-day break... did I do this right? I took my last pill on Sunday, then waited seven days and started the next pack on Monday. Or was I actually supposed to start on Sunday? 😢

@ Nathan Collins2 honestly it’s totally fine, I mean, it’s just how things go, especially during those first few months

So, I was trying to get the grammar checker working in Microsoft Office, you know? I tried going through Spelling & Grammar, but then it just gives me this annoying message saying I don't have the Office Proofing Tool installed... ugh. Does anyone have a link where I can download it?

alright, thanks for the heads up! 🙂

So, I really need to swap out my lenses because my prescription is all messed up again—ugh, eye doctors, am I right?—but I’m actually super attached to my current frames. Like, I don't want to buy a whole new pair. Is it even possible to just get the lenses swapped out while keeping the same frames?

Honestly, you could have picked it up from someone else's towel or even a razor... I mean, even if there wasn't direct sex, maybe there was just some skin-to-skin stuff?🤣 🤷
Anyway, this virus is super persistent and it's really hard to kill off, so I guess there isn't much point in stressing over how or why it happened right now. The main thing is just getting it handled and staying on top of your follow-ups with the doctor.🙂

It’s possible, like, there was some touching, maybe clitoral stimulation, but I wasn't really paying attention to whether he had touched himself before that... maybe I just picked it up at a public restroom or something.😢

Sarah Mendoza70 said:then that might actually be proof that HPV can spread without actual intercourse.😕

so, did they do an HPV swab for you?

No, they didn't do a swab, they just did a visual exam. I told them I haven't had sex, which is true. I mean, finger play doesn't really count as sex, right? I guess?

Jamie Davis17 said:unfortunately condoms don't stop the spread of HPV since it shows up on a much wider area than just the genitals. It's totally possible via hands, right?🤷

Look, before you read everything and totally freak out—it's really not the worst thing that could happen. There are ways to get rid of it. Your immune system is huge here—if it's strong, the warts might just stop showing up altogether.
It might be a good idea to let whoever you were hanging out with know, just so they know what's going on.

Yeah, it's definitely possible it was through hands. I don't even know what he used on me, he just said if it doesn't clear up, I should come back and I'll probably need like 2 or 3 more "burning" treatments. He didn't say anything about another follow-up though. And my immune system? Yeah, it's basically non-existent right now.😢

So, I just did a quick Google search since I was hanging out at home, and I realized that warts can actually be a symptom of HPV. It's weird because there wasn't even any direct contact, like, penises or vaginas touching or anything... 😢

So, like, maybe two or three years ago, I was feeling around near my vaginal opening and totally felt this little bump... it was probably only like half a centimeter, but man, it stung so bad whenever I touched it. I finally worked up the nerve to go see my OB-GYN recently, and he told me it's just a genital wart and put some kind of cream on it. But here's the thing—I haven't even been sexually active yet, so I'm super confused about how I could have even gotten this? (Even my doctor was like, "I'm not really sure how that happened" since I haven't had any partners.) Do you think it’ll ever actually go away? 😢

EDIT: i think i'm

The symptoms honestly feel a lot like bipolar disorder, maybe even with some hypochondria mixed in there too... but I’m just a layman, you know? I can't really give a definitive diagnosis, and I guess most of the folks over on the psychology forums would say the same thing. It’s probably best if she just heads to a doctor or a specialist, because this kind of behavior is starting to mess with her health and makes it pretty hard to function normally in daily life. Honestly, she’s got nothing to lose by seeing someone, but she’s definitely losing a lot by staying away.

Most people just lack any real self-confidence 🤷
you see someone doing even worse than you are, and instead of feeling anything, you just feel this weird sense of relief, right? There’s zero actual empathy—no "love thy neighbor" vibes here—just pure masochistic energy or maybe just being completely fed up with how stupid everyone is. Like, take Simona Gotovac, for example... I mean, how could any average American guy (LOL) not be absolutely livid when he’s forced to deal with someone like her 24/7, especially after she spent all that time acting like she was "living her best life in Miami"

mistyseal11 said:Man, seriously, an outcome like this is basically like hitting the Powerball jackpot. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. If anything.

I don't even get why you think it’s such a huge shocker? I mean, it's actually totally doable if you really want it to happen

mistyseal11 said:Yeah, sure, obviously you guys are totally gonna meet up. 🙂

pfft, why the heck not? 🙂

brighttiger41 said:Go ask her yourself 😁

I mean, I'm not really expecting much, but hey, anything can happen, right? I guess even weirder stuff has happened before... 😛

mistyseal11 said:I’m really not feeling this whole data storage thing, honestly. It just sits wrong with me.
Man, I am seriously losing my mind over all these global conspiracies lately... everything just feels so shady.

So, if you’re looking at the whole picture, what kind of phone should I actually get?
Who the hell is calling me or blowing up my phone with these messages?
Who am I even supposed to be reaching out to here? Like, who am I actually meant to be talking to or messaging? Seriously, who is the go-to person for this? 🙂

The old folks are just hanging out at home all day every day now that they're retired, and honestly, they basically just live in front of the TV watching cable all day long.
I don't know, man... should I just throw myself out there and try to get close to people? I'm honestly not so sure about it.
Man, when you’ve got two successful sisters and a brother who’s already hitched, things get absolutely wild once everyone shows up at the house—it’s pure chaos, I love it! He’s definitely not lonely by any means, but he just sits there totally motionless like he’s stuck in neutral.

Most of them aren't even from New York.

I mean, I’d honestly be down to hit up a spot somewhere, but driving all the way out to a place like Phoenix just for a cup of coffee feels totally unrealistic, you know?

but I honestly don't know

Think about it, maybe the issue is actually with you, right?

mistyseal11 said:- Facebook? Nope, not happening
- MSN? Forget about it
- Cell phone? No way
- An old friend... honestly, they’re just as socially stuck in neutral as I am.
It's probably best if things stay exactly how they are on my own terms, just staying put at home
- Out of my entire extended family, there's only one other person actually in my age group, and even then, they aren't even living in the same part of the country
- I'm an only child, so that's that
- I'm headed off to college, but let's be real, that's just a bubble—it doesn't mean I'm actually meeting people outside of campus life

- Just make a Facebook account, man. Add those old friends you lost touch with or people you met briefly but want to actually hang out with—then just grab a coffee.
- And seriously, how do you live without a phone? You gotta get one, it’s basically essential, not even for being social, just for life in general.
- Maybe you aren't reaching out enough? Besides, you could always just head over to his place and have a movie marathon or something, simple as that.
- Ugh, and yeah, leaning on family should be your absolute last resort.
- Oh man, I'm in the same boat, it's pretty awkward :S
- How can you even be sure there isn't a crew waiting for you outside that building? Give people a chance, who knows, maybe they're just a little different from what you expect.

So, like, you might wanna ask yourself why you ended up in this spot in the first place?

mistyseal11 said:@brighttiger41: I honestly feel like saying stuff like that could land you in some serious legal trouble 🙂

but seriously, I’d be yelling down at you just because
"thanks man, thanks for actually saying a single word to me, because honestly, that's all I was looking for," and then I'd invite you up to my place for some coffee and cookies

and you'd probably just turn me down. THAT IS STRAIGHT UP TRASH BEHAVIOR!!!!

@driftinggull21: okay, someone please explain to me how you even start meeting people? like, give me the blueprint, please.
if I just go sit alone in a Starbucks, everyone's gonna give me the weird looks
if I just walk up to a total stranger on the street—I'm basically risking getting pepper sprayed in the face

can someone please walk me through some actual techniques? please.

I mean... I don't know, like, are you going to college? Do you have Facebook? Or maybe old friends? Family? Siblings? A girlfriend?

brighttiger41 said:Right? 🤷

Seriously, if you're feeling lonely, or craving some attention, or just need people around—there are so many better, more productive ways to find that than throwing yourself off a building... For crying out loud.

It’s always the same thing, isn't it? "Oh, my life is falling apart, nothing is working out, I might as well end it all..." Hahhaa.. It's such a cop-out. Taking the easy way out is never the answer; please, just try to stay with us today. 🤷

That's why I'm telling you, everyone, don't just shut yourselves away from the world. Reach out! Connect with others, hit the gym, find a hobby to unwind... That's what actually heals the soul. It acts as a pressure valve for everything you're feeling, and suddenly, those dark, reckless thoughts won't seem like an option anymore...

👍 girl, you put that so perfectly

brighttiger41 said:Honestly? You should just go ahead and do it... who are you trying to intimidate? Me? 😁

It always cracks me up when someone stands on a rooftop and starts screaming that they're going to jump.

Like, fine, then do it! Why should anyone care if you're just being an idiot?

I don't know why, but this is just so precious to me 😍😍

mistyseal11 said:Honestly, life is just getting way too monotonous and I’ve got zero motivation to actually get moving.

I’m basically living in total isolation here.

I find myself walking out onto the balcony—since I can still move around, at least—just threatening to jump.

I just need something, anything, to spark some kind of reaction, and I’m dying to know what that might be.

Look, I don't actually want to die; I’d just be faking it.
I just really need someone to look out for me, to show even a tiny bit of care
and for something, I don't know, to actually fucking happen...

Will I just get wiped out, or will I actually get a little attention
and maybe some various pills?

edit: I've got good health insurance.🙂

your social life/existence has just become a total drag

attention seeker

are you an attention seeker?😁

mistyseal11 said:what is that even supposed to mean exactly?

about being an attention seeker!?

why do you need other people just to get moving?
why do you need other people for anything to happen?
