A circle for women to talk about our health challenges and successes, share tips, vent, find solace and sisterhood as we navigate illness, health and the space in between.
This is a Female Only Woman Centered Health Support Circle
Guidelines and Rules
Welcome Sister: If you were observed female at birth or assigned female at birth you are welcome here. If you are not female, you will be banned. If you are a female who identifies differently than as a woman there is a place for you here but it is not a place for you to center discussions on your identity or police woman centered language.
Please be Mindful: This is a support circle, not a debate circle. Respect other women's health decisions. If you have strong opinions on a health topic please consider making your own posts on the topic and not derailing someone else's post or comments, especially if they state they are not looking for advice. Sometimes discussion or debate will also best be had in other Circles, like /o/STEM or /o/WomensLiberation. Dangerous and misleading information is subject to deletion.
Our Health is not your Pot of Gold: No advertising, spam, sales, MLM, or self promotion of businesses and/or products.
Please be Careful: This space is not private, this space is not "safe". Nothing here should be construed as medical advice, posts and comments here have not been vetted by a doctor. Always check in with your primary care provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment for health concerns.
On Building the Space: When you post your story or comment on someone else's post you are helping build this women's centered support space. Your voice is important; sharing our stories, gifs, tips and tricks, memes, health news, rants, and raves is important. There are very few places left that center women, by actively participating you are helping us build this one.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.
Dont feel unattractive about your size tall girls are amaaaaazing. My first serious gf was 6'0 and she was really self conscious about it too and cried often about it. I loved it though it was one of the coolest things about her. Also like when youre short...youre short to everyone, hun so its not as off putting as you think. Us ants dont notice that much of a difference between 5'7 and 6+ feet. youre all just kinda up there lol
Now if you're sad because you want your partner to be taller than you i have no help there. But i promise its not a deal breaker in the slightest I'd love to be tall myself
I cannot wrap my head around tall women being insecure. They are so pretty just by being tall. I feel insecure about being so short and feel women would never want me for that reason.
Same, I’m very short and it’s always been a major insecurity of mine. Everyone is always taller than me and growing up people liked to point that out a lot, which made me feel small on the outside and inside.
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to like that aspect of myself, it makes me feel unattractive (which is probably exacerbated by the fact that I look super young as well and sometimes don’t get taken seriously because of it).
Same! Like "okay thanks for considering me as a foot stool that's so chill of you, tell your amazonian goddess gf I said thanks!"
