Yeah, I had a similar experience, not knowing masturbation was a thing girls could do, until years and years after I'd already been doing it. Not knowing that it was a normal and healthy behaviour, I figured something was wrong with me, and felt a lot of shame because of it. :( Egen though I have co...

Sorry for late answer, I have had a busy couple of weeks. I contacted another gynecology clinic yesterday, via mail, and am waiting for an answer.

So I went to a gynocologist today and got diagnosed with vestibulitis (something I already suspected, after doing some reading on the subject). After the gynocologist examined and diagnosed me, she said that there is little you can do about it, except stop doing the things that hurt (penetration, us...

I don't see a therapist right now, but I'm standing in line for one. The last therapist I had I didn't really feel comfortable with, so that's why I'm not going to her anymore.

I just feel silly for letting this bother me so much.

We only went on two dates, I wasn't even sure myself of how much I was into him, but still I feel unreasonably sad. I thought I had learned to handle rejection better than before, but apparently not. :/

Hi Scarleteen! So, two weeks ago, I went on a second date with a guy.We were watching movies at his place, and it led to us making out and me sleeping over. The day after we had breakfast, watched another movie and cuddled a bit before he had to do stuff and I went home. I messaged him on Facebook t...

CaptainAwkward.com A lovely advice-blog by a feminist. It actually has helped me quite a bit, with social anxiety and speaking up when people make me uncomfortable. Facebook. For communicating with friends etc. And youtube, I guess. I am struggling with depression and one of my less good coping stra...
