Ladies, when you have cramps do you find heat actually works? As in hot water bottle, heat patches?

It does nothing at all for me and I'm increasingly convinced it's a placebo effect 😂

They have electric heating pads that are probably most handy in terms of sizing. I've used a small electric heated blanket to help, just because I already have it. I like that I can adjust the heat settings, a water bottle version seems hard to control the heat/ not enough heat

Heating pads helped a lot for me with post partum cramps. Regular period cramps I haven’t had since I was in high school 🤷‍♀️

Heating pad on high does the trick for me.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Genuinely curious: how often do you feel truly happy/enthusiastic in your daily life? What exactly makes you happy? I hesitate to self diagnose w “high functioning depression” but I have all the hallmarks. I have no interest in previous hobbies; picked up new ones & got bored very quickly; and though I’m still productive in my job, have friends/a SO—I don’t remember truly feeling happy/excited in a long time. I met therapists who asked me if I think others feel happy/excited all the time(cont

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event
