Everything Of Possibility

Sorry to disappoint but…

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.

More generously still, he had not only refrained from offers of help and advice which she might have resented; he had deliberately acknowledged that she had the right to run her own risks. "Do be careful of yourself"; "I hate to think of your being exposed to unpleasantness"; "If only I could be there to protect you"; any such phrase would express the normal male reaction. Not one man in ten thousand would say to the woman he loved, or to any woman: "Disagreeableness and danger will not turn you back, and God forbid they should." That was an admission of equality, and she had not expected it of him.

I think I'm done watching the stereotypical romance. I don't want to see hot, funny people fall in love, I know that already exists.

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

ALSO! If you start having those feelings and suspect you’re heading towards perimenopause, talk to your doctor.

It’s not all hot flashes and bitchiness - there are other symptoms they don’t tell what you about – itching in odd places, like inside your ears and nose. If you already have depression, it can get worse – you can almost feel bipolar, with swings of euphoria and despair. When you find that you no longer get joy from the things that normally give you joy, seriously, talk to your doctor.

ALSO ALSO. Once you hit that perimenopause stage, your body loses muscle tone so start strength training and ignore the "lifting weights makes you bulky" people.
