You’re likely having sleep paralysis. Google it. Nothings wrong with you, though it’s terrifying. I also get this and it’s worse when I’m stressed. Sleeping on my back often triggers it. Try taking a cortisol manager and melatonin (sold on Amazon) before bed and sleeping on your side.

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge.

I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?

I’m looking for apartments in LA. I was looking at Vinz at Fairfax. Two people are thanking the apartment complex for allowing their autistic friend to live there. Do autistic people have a hard time renting? Sad if so & would appreciate the apartment even more if they’re accommodating to people on the spectrum. One review mentioned it’s a “homeless shelter to autistic” so I didn’t know if it was code for something.

Also, any reviews on Vinz fishies can share? I dknt always Google reviews.

Here’s my center-right plan on abortion.

1. Re-route all money in Congress towards the goal of saving 100% of the lives of ALL eggs once they’re fertilized. At. All. Costs. Call it Operation Super Warp Speed 2.0 for kicks and giggles.

2. Postpone all decisions regarding Roe until the goal is accomplished.

3. Once the goal is reached, ban all abortions. ALL of them. Pregnant women can opt for losing their kid, but never can contact the child. Ever. No exceptions. No changing your mind.
