Worsening Depression, Possibly Related to Birth Control
Trigger Warning: Severe depression, self-harm, suicide mentions Last night, I had one of the hardest nights of my life. It was the closest I have ever been to actually taking action on my thoughts of self-harm/suicide. I really had to talk myself out of doing it, which is not something I have ever e...

Re: Experiences with Menstrual Cups
My experiences with tampons are generally miserable! They really irritate me in several ways, so I want to try menstrual cups! I think they would be a great option for me, and also environmentally friendly and cost effective! However, my mom has used one before, and she has a low cervix, so it hangs...

Re: Implantation bleeding question
Implantation bleeding is typically just bleeding that occurs 10-14 days after conception; it's the result of the sperm attaching itself to the uterine lining.

Labels: Positive or Negative?
Demisexual. Queer. Aromantic. Polysexual. All of these are labels we use to describe ourselves, our feelings, our orientations, and more. Most people use at least one label to describe themselves to others, but I've recently heard another side of the story: some people, specifically those under the ...

Re: "Should I be worried?"
I think, more than anything, people ask that question when they want reassurance that everything IS okay! Or that, at least to me, seems like the most common use! Other than that, I also see people using that phrase to ask for an outside opinion, being that sometimes when you're in a situation and y...

Re: Sex On Your Own Terms
Wanting to have sex on my own terms, I think, was the biggest indicator that I was ready for my sexual debut. It made me realize that I am allowed to want sex for myself, and that having someone who also wanted the same was a fantastic feeling. For me, some of the most important things were making s...

Re: The First Time Boy/Girl Expectations So Sucked
I don't specifically remember an experience of my own, but I remember my best friend, who was male, being told at the age of 5 that he couldn't like his favorite color (pink), or his favorite toys (Polly Pockets) by some of our classmates. It made him incredibly self conscious, to the point where he...

Re: I don't feel like I can do what I want with my body.
Sometimes I struggle with a lot of the issues, too! It's hard to stand up in the face of judgement sometimes, but especially when it comes to parents! I feel like, if it weren't for my parents, I could feel comfortable making my own decisions about shaving and other appearance-related things, but as...

Re: Scarleteen Artist Thread!
I knit and crochet (or try to, at least!)
I also enjoy water colors, sculpting, digital art, and probably tons more stuff! A little bit of everything, really! I wish I was better at knitting/crocheting, though! It's hard for me to do simple stitches still!

Re: Songs to make you feel confident
Not gonna lie, Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" never fails to inspire an energetic need to get on with my life! Also, the whole not-caring-about-what-anyone-else-thinks thing can be awfully relevant! And it's so upbeat...I love it!
