Tell me about what's good in your life?

Question

I'm currently on day 13 of a seemingly never ending menstrual cycle that has basically left me bed ridden.

I am need of some positivity. So tell me about your recent accomplishments or really anything good that's been going on in your life.

Feel free to send me some uplifting messages for me to read after I awake from my pain relief induced sleep ✌🏻

Jiminy Christmas, 13 DAYS?😱 Obviously I can’t relate, but that sounds pretty horrific. Hang in there💪 Gotta think you’re closer to the end than the beginning by now, at least, hopefully.

I have one major life-issue that will kind of prevent life from being normal for an indefinite amount of time, really my lady’s issue, but it’s obviously tethered to me by association. And it’s a bummer in a lot of ways. All the things you do as a couple I have to go to solo. I walked around a fair by myself for a couple hours last week, and I was wondering how weird I must look as literally the only person who was alone. Like I passed this group of cops like 20 times, and I wondered if they were like “we got a potential suspicious person walking around…”😂😂😂

But anyway, I bring up the bummer to say that, in a backwards way, and combined with my other big life situation of caring for my elderly father and not working, it does have a nice side effect of me having TONS of free time to do whatever makes my heart sing.

I get to work out for hours a day if I want to, instead of having to squeeze it into a busy life. I can fish for hours on end. I have all day to go anywhere and do anything, and I’m in good shape for money, so that’s not a huge factor, within normal reason. My lady lives hours away, but I travel twice a week to spend time with her. Those are pretty easy days, mostly driving and listening to music.

My biggest thing these days is playing hockey, which I didn’t start until a few years ago. It’s a hard sport and requires lots of practice, and ice time at the rink, to get better. There is NO WAY I would be as “good” ( I still kinda suck in the grand scheme of it all, but I’d be SO bad without practice😂) as I am today if I had a normal job, because the only time rinks have “public hockey” sessions is during their dead times when everyone is at work or school. But I’m a bum, lmao, so I can go play two hours of hockey on a near-empty rink from noon til 2:00 three days a week for like $10. That’s HUGE. Without that, I might’ve gotten frustrated with my lack of progress and quit by now, but now, at least in my low level beer league, I’m not a game-breaker by any means, but I’m in the starting lineup for my team a lot of times, so I’m pretty proud of that.

So recreationally, life is pretty sweet right now. And it’s concert season, which I also go alone to, but I usually just find the mosh pit and ape out, so it doesn’t matter😝 My lady, despite her illness (nothing terminal, don’t worry), is still here with me after 17 years. My dad is 92 and still alive. I’m not buying yachts or anything, but money isn’t much of an issue for me. I have a small circle of friends, but they’re good ones. My two little cousins are the daughters I’ll never have/have to pay for😂 Love them to absolute pieces, and they’re in college now, and I’m so proud of the young women they are and are becoming. Just A+ kids, both of them.

Its not perfect, by far, but overall, I’d say I have a very good life, and I’d feel extremely silly complaining.

Hope you feel better soon!✌️

I have ups and down in life, both working life and social life. Friends of mine are getting married next year she eventually asked him and he said yes, he’s a bit of a wuss for a 6’7 rugby player lol.
I met up with friends I had not seen since 2019 and had a really great weekend in Cambridge with them. That was a really good weekend, picking up conversations just like it was yesterday (a sign of good friendship).

I watched my two cats earlier chasing each other around the garden, during this chasing a pigeon landed on the grass while both were moving at warp speeds around the garden (as only cats can do), one noticed the pigeon and stopped, the other caught up and both went rolling and then the other noticed the pigeon watching them, I am sure there was an embarrassed silence, the pigeon went one way, the cats the other.
cats are just great.

13 days is crazy and that is going to be some pain, I would be pumped up on drugs for the entire time. Being on GaG is punishment enough.

I am off to see a friend tomorrow, she has a gig at local place doing some jazz and other tunes, she sings, plays piano and saxophone, for the gig she will be all girlie, rest of time she’s a goth welder lol.

some period humour, well not exactly 1800’s etc

Periods help you learn how to get blood off things…

which is probably why you hear more stories of men caught for murder.

In American Sign Language, the sign for having your period is basically punching yourself in the face…

which is likely accurate.

The happy girls in tampon commercials.

Getting your period is like being attacked by a dementor.

take care and monthly periods are likely better than not having one for 9 months. Although being bedridden sounds fucking terrible and must be incredibly painful, I assume you don’t have regular periods and there are complications as Mother Nature has a shit sense of humour.

take care and sending 🤗🥰🤗 and 🥃🥃🥃🥃

Whoa, girl. That's not good. Have you have your iron levels checked? If you need to take iron, a chelated version is very gentle and easy to take. Don't take it without a CBC (complete blood count), though. Have the Drs. done a hormone panel? Estriol, Estradiol, DHEA, etc. If you just started birth control, sometimes it can cause the prolonged bleeding. Otherwise, it might be worth trying another type. I'm glad you have some Drs. working on it; I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Get better soon! :(

I have a beautiful free-form garden I planted, with pollinater flowers mixed in; zinnias, smaller sunflowers, salvia. The bees love it. Next year, I'm adding a butterfly way station for the monarchs. I want to plant purple cabbage in between the salvia; the texture contrast will be so pretty! I also want to add medicinal herbs like echinacea and lavender, and plenty of culinary herbs. It's relaxing and a form of creativity for me; I enjoy it. :D

Having a baby really helped to sort out my life, so far. Pregnancy somehow cured two of my disabilities that were labeled as incurable. I’ve gained new appreciation for my body and what it can do. I suffer from postpartum anxiety but other aspects of my mental health drastically improved. I got rid of any people pleasing behaviour and cut off toxic family for the well-being of my child, which also lowered my daily stress a lot. I started being more financially responsible as I don’t have spare income to just throw at things anymore. And of course, I feel a new type of love that I’ve never experienced before.

Despite the fact that I’ve got a difficult baby and I’m very sleep deprived & sore, life is good.

Ahh damn that sux. Fir the record im glad you cane back to the site.

Positivity in my life: well i am steadily losing weight which is nice. I feel healthier in general.

My dad if you remember he was struggling to walk well he’s gotten much better thanks to me getting him to go out walking 4 days a week. I try to keep him ontop of going to his various doctors appointments too. Seems to be a healthier man now than at the same time last year.

im finally saving a lot of money and my credit score has gotten much much better in the mid 700s. It could still be better of course but considering where it was i feel accomplished having it where its at now. Im keeping my bad spending habits under control!

i got back into painting table top miniatures again. Always something i enjoy a lot.

So yeah overall my life is going well 👍🏻

Ah I hope you feel better soon. Something uplifting. Well the other day I did a good deed which made me feel so nice. I have a thing for the older generations. For me that means a like 75 or older. Reminds me of my grandparents which I miss very much.

So I was walking to get coffee at my fav place and was set to cross the street when I see this lady with a big and says, "Would you mind walking an old lady across the street?"

First off she was so cute, and I was happy she asked. I like to help in little ways like this. Small deeds matter in my opinion. So I say of course and she holds my arm and I decided to say a knock knock joke (I don't know why lol) and say:

Knock knock, she giggles and says who's there?, I say old lady, and she says old lady who...

I say I didn't know you can yodel. She laughed and said she was going to tell her grandkids that joke and it made me so happy. I told this story to only one other person and I left out one part.

When we got to the other end of the street she said thank you and I hugged her for some reason. She was just the sweetest person. I asked her if she needed help getting back to her car that I would be at the coffee shop and to just look for me on her way out. She didn't need me because she was meeting her daughter who at the other end of the street, was beautiful mind you, and overheard me. Her daughter thanked me and they both said you're mother raised you right. I almost teared up a bit over this little thing. The daughter hugged me too lol. We we're headed in the same direction and we all agreed how nice it is to be nice to others and we all parted ways. Something about that old lady stuck with since our encounter. I actually hope I run into her again one day while getting coffee. We never exchanged names.

Well this is good for EVERYONE'S life:

Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D. C. specifically exempt menstrual products from sales tax.

Efforts to eliminate the tampon tax continue across various states*, with recent legislative changes reflecting a growing recognition of menstrual products as essential items rather than luxury goods.

*Almost all "red" states - no pun intended

A two weeks lasting menstrual cycle seems rather suspect to me, and I hope you asked a doctor for advice. No real idea how to lift up your mood, but who knows if I tell you I discovered different nice things this summer, among which how clever pigeons can be in checking my reactions in particular circumstances... Really. Also amusingly interesting is the way my two cats try to make themselves understood. They both developed their own personal kind of language. There are lots of beautiful plants in my garden, which is a pleasure for the eyes and mood, and on top the weather is nice. Best wishes girl.

I'm sorry to hear that your cycle is drawn out so long. I hope you feel better soon!

As for things that are good in my life; my career is going quite well. I've been able to surround myself with a wonderful group of friends. I've started to connect nicely with a lady from Brazil who has been staying in the US on a tourist visa for the last year. She's a qualified dentist in Brazil and she wants to move to the US permanently to practice.

Seems a bit long for that, maybe should see a doctor. I have some plans I’m working on but don’t like telling certain people in case they don’t work out and then they can say they were right so I don’t need that. Just enjoying the long weekend off and relaxing

Something is very wrong. You can't just let this keep going without seeing a physician regarding it. 13 days of bleeding is not a joke and you are probably anemic by this time.
