Hi! I was wondering how you guys choose/consider a suitable birth control for your body, and why you choose that apart from the others.

Thank you!

Me (Getting off bus just one earbud in cuz…safety. Sporting a pretty good head cold, sweating and cold at the same time.) Random dude getting off the bus behind me: “You dropped something.” Me (squinting through my medicine haze, fumbling for pause on my story, and wondering how the hell my closed bag dropped anything.): “Huh? What?” Random dude: “You dropped my phone number.” Me: “Oh, I’m married.” I turn away. Random dude: “I always wondered something.” Me: “Ummm, what?” Gotta be polite cuz…safety. Random dude: “I always wondered how that side man works.” Me: (Horrified). “I have no idea; I am completely not interested.” Turn away again now completely befuddled. WTF just happened! Random dude: “well, if you ever change your mind…” Yeah, sure…if I ever decide I like penis you and I shall be drawn to this same bus stop at the same time in some foretold rendezvous random fu**ing dude with no boundaries. UGH

Hi everyone,

I'm currently writing a blog from the confines of my 6th treatment center after OD'ing on Xmas day. I talk a lot about shame and self-blame regarding abuse and the attempt to fix the problem with drugs.

Here is the blog therootoftheroot.com

I'd appreciate all the support I can get from all you ladies.

Much love xxx Laura
