Bio
There is little I can say about myself in this tiny space. :)
I am a female in my 20s, trying to find a better place for myself and those I care about. I've been through many bad relationships and dealt with drugs & abusive partners. I think I can give a bit of my current knowledge to others. I enjoy listening to trance music, watching crime & mystery tv shows and listening to science podcasts.

Next day pill, pregnancy scare
Relationship Stress / by imaginativeMelon7014

...See more I haven't been in this situation before and I am very insure how to react. I had sex with a guy last night, a colleague, friend & he told me right after that he is unsure about how safe the act was. We used protection but he isn't very much confident it was alright. He wanted to buy a next day pill & so we did it. I took both pills from the box & right now I am having mixed feelings about all of it. I had in the past unprotected sex, I had scares about pregnancy but I never went to the pharmacy to buy a pill. I know we've been careful & responsible but the idea of getting to this point even with protection scares the sh*it out of me. I am in a fertile window, or at least that's what my calendar app says. Has anyone ever been in this situation? I am panicking too much right? He was pretty panicked as well. @Amelia @Anomalia @MikeMadrid @BeYOUtywithin @soulsings
Biting your Nails - Addiction
OCD & Related Behaviors / by imaginativeMelon7014

...See more It may seem pretty naive to some but biting your nails is an addiction too! Wikipedia says: Nail biting, also known as onychophagy or onychophagia, is an oral compulsive habit. It is sometimes described as a parafunctional activity, the common use of the mouth for an activity other than speaking, eating, or drinking. Nail biting is considered an impulse control disorder in the DSM-IV-R, and is classified under obsessive-compulsive and related disorders in the DSM-5. The ICD-10 classifies it as "other specified behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence." Nevertheless, the frontier pathological nail biting is not clear. Related disorders: Other body-focused repetitive behaviors include excoriation disorder (skin picking), dermatophagia (skin biting), and trichotillomania (the urge to pull out hair), and all of them tend to coexist with nail biting. As an oral parafunctional activity, it is also associated with bruxism (tooth clenching and grinding), and other habits such as pen chewing and cheek biting. My personal story started a long time ago, while I was around 10 years I think or even earlier. I don't remember having long nails ever. I tried grewing them twice, both times after turning 20 years old. However, at the first sign of intense stress I turned back to my addiction. Now I'm trying to grew them up again and I think I'm really serious this time, as I haven't been on any of my previous attempts. I've started watching youtube videos on how to take better care of them, I began buying all sorts of products to help them grow faster and stronger and I think they are looking a bit better already. I'm 10 days free of biting my nails but I'm already seeing signs of strugge. I asked my mom earlier to file them for me as I have no idea how to do that. My point is: are there any other nail biters on 7 Cups? What are your methods to cope with it? Let's share our story and resources in here.
