I don't trust doctors or therapists, so I'm trying to find ways to deal with this on my own.
I've been taking Inositol (1,950mg) for about a couple months with no change. I've also heard about Ashwaganda and Chasteberry, but I'm concerned about the side effects of anger, irritability, and heavy periods.
Has anyone treated their PMDD without antidepressants or BC? I'm mostly concerned about the suicidal ideation and other mood symptoms more than the physical.
As if.
Back in the day I used to just default to "they" for everyone. I can't be the only one.
I know that most users on here have an issue with the universal "they" in some cases, which is understandable if you're referring to someone directly by their name or even including a picture and that they're clearly male/female, and yet, you use "they" to describe them frequently without a she/he thrown in, I completely understand that and it's ridiculous. But I use these pronouns frequently for generalizing statements or for anonymity..
I used it 3 times in this post. (not including quotations)
My kids do this and I think it’s because of Rick Riordan books and/or kids’ tv. We’ve been pretty supervisory but there are things that slip through, and if I clamp down harder, it will just make them rebel more when they’re older.
It’s starting to become standard usage. It drives me bananas. Like, the local news uses “they” when discussing a local politician who is not gender special in any way and I’ve heard it in commercials.
It’s so terrible because it makes language unclear. If you’re talking about Mary Smith, local female politician and you just toss in a “they” when listeners heard her speak and you also have been using “she” it just causes confusion.
I hate speakers using "they/them" for any damn reason, but it does make me feel good to think that someday TIMs would all be called "they" just like everyone else. No gender special pronoun feefees. hehe
Lol exactly. There is a 99.9% chance that this was totally accidental
lmao at this one comment
