one of my biggest pet peeves is when people think that Hell and the Greek underworld are the same thing.
Hell is the place of punishment in Christianity for people who were bad in life.
the greek underworld is where literally every soul goes, good or bad. and hades gets control of all of them.
the really awesome souls get to party for eternity, the ordinary ones basically take a nap forever in the fields of asphodel, and the super bad ones get punished in various ways.
its not the binary of heaven and hell.
so stop drawing the underworld as this hellfire place full of tortured souls or whatever.
its more like a DMV thats in an underground cavern.

Q: Hello i just saw the post you made about the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and was wondering if you could tell me some more about how to get rid of it? Bc the doctor just gave me some pills and ive been reading about its treatment and it just says to take metformina, stop being fat, shave and have surgery to be able to have babies. Is there a surgery to get rid of this in exchange of never having babies? Bc i srsly want that
A:
I don’t know if you are still on Tumblr at all. I check it once or twice a year now. Here’s my deal. As much as this is some of the most depressing advice I have ever heard, it’s also the only advice that I’ve heard works. Depending on how fat you are, the only true way to rid oneself of PCOS is to lose the weight - by whatever means. This means the only surgery that is going to work is bariatric surgery (weight loss). If you have lots of money, great - jump the line. If you don’t, depending on where you are, there’s a 3-5 year wait.
The hysterectomy is a drastic solution, and doesn’t fix the problem only a symptom. The downside is not the “never having babies” the downside is “menopause at 30-35″ and then all the health issues related to that. If the pain you experience during a menstrual cycle is life-impairing, then please pressure your health professionals to get that checked out. Advocate for yourself and your pain.
