So I am gonna write about a tmi, icky gross problem regarding armpit hair, so if you don't feel like reading about that, it's time to scoot, skip this post, scroll on, skedaddle.

I know you're all still reading because you want to know about gross icky disgusting problems, and this is your own fault. So let me tell you a story!

I've had a life where paying attention to my physical health was the least of my issues, and if a problem was ignorable, you can be sure I ignored it. This proved to be a poor method of staying healthy, and now I am in fact, not doing so well. But that's not the point, the point is, I'm now paying much more attention to my body, and able to notice if something is up!

So one of the things I've ignored, was the condition of my armpit hair, which I shaved for only a very brief period of my life, and was happy to continue growing it out. I've noticed after a while, that there is some white coating on some of my armpit hair, and I thought, you know, I need to wash that stuff out! I need to scrub that area more, obviously it's still dirty somehow. However I would discover that no matter with what I scrub or wash, the white dots and coating on the hair would remain there. So it was not dirt, I was forced to conclude.

I looked it up, and the internet informed me, it is in fact, a bacterial infection. Shocked and baffled, I read some articles that recommended going to the doctor, getting antibiotics, shaving it off, using products to stop sweating, washing constantly not to get it again. It was utter defeat, after being so happy about my armpit hair being normal and all grown, to have to shave it again because of a stupid goddamn infection. They said the infection hits women and m*n the same, but women experience it less because they most commonly shave it off. Like firstly I don't believe you that most women do that, secondly you didn't mention the skin infections women can get from shaving.

But anyway, I had to shave it off in humiliation, and then I grew it back again, and I was more careful this time! To wash more carefully, to not allow myself to be sweaty, to dry off my armpits before putting clothes on, but after a while, it slipped my mind. I get anxiety sweating, I work a physical job, and I am a gardener. I get sweaty! And I like being sweaty and it doesn't feel bad and I would like, to not get an infection. But six months later the infection came back and now I'm brooding about it. I don't wanna shave it off again! I miss not knowing it was a legitimate problem, and I mean it's not like it's actively causing problems, just makes the smell of my armpit slightly stronger but I am okay with my own smell so the only thing that does bother me is knowing there is some bacteria in there having a field day while I'm enjoying my gross sticky life of being a physical worker.

So I am writing this to find out: is this a problem other women growing armpit hair have faced? Have you all known what it is? Did anyone find a solution that isn't a topical antibiotic and living a life where you don't ever get sweaty? If it turns out I'm the number one icky woman out there, so be it, I can be the leader. But I've never heard anyone talk about this, and I don't want to go to a doctor and hear 'why don't you just shave it off like all normal women' because I have the right to my armpit hair dammit, and I want it to be for my own enjoyment and comfort and the bacteria need to find some other job.

If this is a common problem then people have found a way to deal with it centuries ago, and I bet any witch back in time would know exactly what to do, but sadly I can't go and ask one, or read about their findings, because we know why. Please help me crowdsurf this information.

tbh after 3 weeks of not being able to poop bc I was severely dehydrated, I am so thankful for the ability to shit.

even if i've done it 6 times today, idc - I'm choosing to be happy over it.

#tmi post #p #for those wondering: kidney infection is seemingly improving #i was in the ER 3 times for it tho LMAO

deciding whether I want to cut or jerk my shit is always so hard for no reason

#tmi post #I get more enjoyment out of cutting but atleast jerking it is normal

[disaster-demon]

Also I fucking hate having to share a bathroom when my ibd is flaring like. My step dad has no reason to be in the shower for nearly an hour when I said when he went in that I needed to go and him and my mother both know I have ibd and to put it bluntly have to poop sometimes at short notice when I’m in a flare lmfao and yet my mum makes excuses for him while I get more and more uncomfortable and in pain til he saunters out and I go in to find the floor is really wet (slip hazard and I’m on crutches and a fall risk) and the mats are down still and he hasn’t closed the curtain right so there’s water everyfuckingwhere.

Anyway I managed to avert a disaster needless to say. I fucking hate that guy.

I think if my body is going to force me to be hairy then the least it can do is make it an even coat instead of whatever bullshit is happening on my legs

So I’m hella allergic to where tortoises live lol

About a year ago, I started getting a red itchy rash on my body. I tried every cream, and got rid of everything with fragrance in my skin care routine, switched to better deodorant. No improvement, and it was NOT CUTE but so then I started having small allergic reactions to things like cucumbers and melon, and then bigger reactions to stuff like avocado and banana to and almonds and latex, so I went to an allergist.

I got tested for 89 foods, and 79 environmental things like pollen and molds and animals. I was right about things I already reacted to, and also apparently shellfish, which I don’t eat, anyways so... They test you for allergies by poking you on your back with a needle that has little samples of the possible allergen, and it’s safe but like so many pokes! They did food in one session and pollen in the other. They score the allergic reaction by the size of hive you get at each poke spot.

Almonds make my mouth tingle and swell, and I got a 4 on em. Clams I got a 5 and was told not to eat ever again. No loss. They look weird.

I went back to get the pollen test, and I scored basically nothing lower than a 7. And on hay... I scored A FORTY ONE. 

I scored several 20′s and up. The lady doing the test, was like “this is the worst I have seen.”

So then later in the week, I went to an event where they had tortoises  that you could watch be fed.

I was like “oh cool” but when I went to the room, I saw they had lots of hay in there, and I was like maybe it’s okay dokey if I don’t touch it, and then my throat felt tight like upon a minute of being near hay, and I felt sort of wheezy and gross, so my friends, I left the room.

Again, body? Wtf? I wanna live a long life, and die in my sleep super old but not from a hay or clam allergy. Lame

Thinking about how a friend told me he could tell when I was on my period because my natural scent changed slightly. Not in a "ewww you smell bad gross yucky" way, but, like, an animal sense. Idk, it was neat.

#tmi post #oc #text #this ties in with when my husband goes crazy for me and i tell him it's heat week/i'm ovulating #and he screams because humans really are animals and we are not immune to pheromones and lower instincts and senses we're not fully aware o

Sometimes I'm legit afraid of going on T because I'm already in constant war with my libido but that shit I know is gonna turn it nuclear 😭 I'll look and feel nice but at what cost...

My butthole hurts (and not even from fun reasons)

#idk if it’s like I’m eating too much acidity or something #or I got used to using a bidet at home #but this bitch ANGRY AT ME 😭 #tmi post #:)

[friendlyneighborhoodwitch]

so I have this ~thing~ about thermals (or long sleeve waffle shirts, whichever term you prefer) and my situationship/not a boyfriend/yet not not a boyfriend absolutelyyyy wears them and had zero knowledge of my ~thing~

Yesterday I got a selfie from him and he was in one so I informed him of said ~thing~ cause ya know, flirting, and today I actually got to see him at work and apparently my face said it all bc he was absolutely in one again and he didn’t even say hi first just “wow you weren’t joking” so I’m very glad that no other coworkers were around bc ya know, work secrets, and my expression was not keeping said secrets.

Basically this is a long way to say men are hot, so so hot.

y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

#everyone shut the fuck up about your sex lives on this post i don't want to read your TMI #sincerely: a sex-repulsed ace who regrets making this post

my abdomen has been feeling super shitty for the past 24 hours and that led to a wild moment earlier today where I burped and I'm pretty sure stomach bile went into my nose?!??

#I woke up feeling like my insides were on fire and then all day my insides have felt like someone squeezed and scrambled them #Anyway I'm fine but I'm taking notes to talk to my doctor about when I get a new doctor #I'm not sure what is up with my digestive system but I'm going to assume it's a mix of constipation and like. Idk acid reflux or whatever #The hell gerd is #Tmi post
