    "Irrelevant to what you want to know", and irrelevant to the question I asked. If you want to debate politics, perhaps you should do it on a question where someone asked for your opinion about politics? I'm not going to engage in a debate, since my question was not, "Hey, do you guys think that the wage gap is real?", but "What are some women-owned tattoo shops in Seattle?".

    I had a feeling someone would find the need to question my motivation, although as Jeze noted, it's not relevant at all. LMNOP, I do see your point that specifics help & that perhaps people's answers would have been different depending on if I preferred to only be around women, wanted someone who understood the pain, etc. But if that information WAS relevant, I would have put into my question originally.

    The actual answer is simply that I prefer to support women-owned businesses when possible. Women still make $0.76 cents to every dollar a man makes and are generally underrepresented as business owners & high-level managers. So if I'm gonna put a significant chunk of money to someone, I prefer to support the ladies when I can. I'll probably get hella shit for this answer, but you asked.

    You can also take straight up ginger tablets that have powdered ginger or ginger extract in them. It doesn't cost that much and you just take them as needed. I'd also recommend just checking out the supplement aisle at a grocery store for anything that says it should relieve nausea.

    Also, ginger ale! Especially if you can get a kind that doesn't have a bunch of sugar added & that has real ginger in it.

    I totally understand your wariness & skepticism. In generally, I think our culture is really overmedicated and that sometimes drugs are prescribed when lifestyle changes or other things could do the job.

    HOWEVER, and to echo what other people have said, if you're at a point in your mental health that you are too depressed to try to do anything about it, an anti-depressant can lift you out of the funk long enough to make the necessary changes or re-evaluate what you need to re-evaluate. If you're so depressed that you can't do anything but be depressed, taking a pill for a bit can be really, really helpful. When I first started taking an SSRI, I was like: "holy shit. you mean I DON'T have to feel like garbage all the time? you mean I actually CAN get out of bed?!?! Amazing!" Being on medication made me feel MORE like myself. I was still me, just me without constant self-hatred.

    Also, I highly highly highly recommend that you see a therapist while on medication. There are some amazing ones in Seattle, including plenty that are on a sliding scale if you're concerned about money.

    Good luck! I hope you start feeling better soon.

    Yeah, that was the internet controversy I was talking about. Which is why I thought it was weird that I hadn't heard anything else since then about it. I don't know if those comments are legit either, since they are the first and last I've heard about it.

    I'm not sure how worn out is "too worn out", so I might try going over there--could be worth it if it's free! Thanks for the tip.

    And I only drove on my flat tire for maybe 4 or 5 miles once I realized it was flat--but after that it sat in my driveway for around 3 weeks until I got paid and could afford a new tire (if that's what I have to do). So hopefully the rim shouldn't be damaged, but I'm not sure.

    Local place for a new tire or tire repair?
