How can you have a fragile ego from an immutable characteristic? Women with shit takes like that unironically cause blackpilled incels.

I have a new boyfriend of 7 months, we’re long time friends so because we’re in a long distance relationship (6 hours to travel to him or the opposite, longer with bus, but not much) and I’m 42, he’s in his 40s too. I can’t sleep in the same bed, I have insomnia and nightmares from trauma so sleep is hard, he’s fine with us cuddling before sleep and for intimacy we can be in any beds. It would also be triggering to sleep with someone... I’m in Canada, I wish I could call in but Australia , is there a way to call in the show from an online platform? I love your show and discussions.

I’ve lived with this forever but didn’t have a name for it until my late 30s. 50% of my life is taken up with severe depression and then as soon as a period hits happy days. Incredibley frustrating. Thankyou for your episode ❤️❤️ bringing it to to light.
