Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Found a lump in my armpit today and have been wondering if it's just due to stress or if it's the big C.

It does make sense if it is stress because things have been kinda intense recently with we looking into a new future with my career after summer and my family having some drama kind of that I have been made aware of recently. Things have generally been stressful and difficult for a couple of years at this point and I just things to calm the fuck down now because I need some peace in my life. A hypothetical cancer diagnosis is literally the last thing I need on my plate right now.

I have inflamed skin, heartburn and shitty sleep as it is, so it would make sense if it's just my immune system being like "bitch, calm the fuck down".

I think I'll go put on a lavender facial mask and listen to a funny-haha-podcast until my man comes home. This was the right day to work from home, I swear.

On the bright side, the yellow crocuses have graced us with their presence in the garden:

... so it's not all bad!

Every morning I worry that I won’t be able to move much because of my disabilities. Most days it’s not a problem, sometimes I need braces, other times I’m pretty much stuck in bed.

That's rough. Inconsistent means you can't plan, and other people don't always understand when it's inconsistent. I hear you

Yeah it’s really not fun, thankfully my girlfriend understands and helps me if I need it. Also getting used to the pain and signs of when it’s about to strike helps. You find ways to deal with it.

I keep a pouch on my backpack just for braces/mobility aids. Got 2 compression gloves in there, 2 splints (left and right ones), a compression sleeve for my arm, a knee brace, an ankle brace, and my cane. I also have compression socks but I don’t keep those in there.

I might find it a bit too easy to worry ...

  • worried of ending up homeless
  • worried of losing access to hot water
  • worried of freezing to death in my house because the utility company fucked up
  • worried of ending up in a prison or concentration camp because of who I am, who I love, or because I have to flee war, famine, or political persecution

I have an irrational fear of the flesh eating disease. Every time I get a cut I have to wash the hell out of it, immediately, and drench it in disinfectant. Admittedly, it's a good habit.

Job hunting feels fucking hopeless

I hear you. It's rough out there.

Yep! I'm seeing careers advisors etc and the feedback is my applications are excellent but it's just tough atm
