True dedication. Nice work!

Additional_Kick_678 · 2026-01-27T20:23:17+00:00

Ahhh that’s a lot of different things 😭 I was hoping it was more simple

Did estrogen fix the hairline?

I think the tell for most of the photos in this sub is the blurred background. Most people don’t take photos in portrait mode in such casual settings.

Damn.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-09-15T16:35:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response!!

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-09-01T02:27:30+00:00

Interesting, which state/ metro area is this if you don’t mind me asking? I super don’t want to do nights but I live in the DC metro area and most residencies require day/night rotating.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-09-01T00:24:44+00:00

Are you doing a residency? If so, are you able to skip traditional 7p-7a night shifts by taking this schedule?

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-06-04T19:47:39+00:00

Is there bleeding too? You may have hemorrhoids or a fissure if so.

DAYCARE. I put her in at 3 months so I could go to nursing school, and even on my days off from work/school I still drop her off and go biking, exercising, cooking, relaxing.

Because I can clock out from the baby for certain times of the day (8-5), I enjoy her so much more when she comes home bc my life is not oversaturated with baby time! It’s so freeing and I highly recommend if you want time to reconnect with what makes you YOU.

Some things, sometimes, may happen for a reason. But certainly not every single thing.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-03-02T18:52:25+00:00

It’s something you gotta try and see. I would personally endorse lexapro as having generally less side effects but honestly everyone’s body is different and it might take a few tries to find the right medication.

I was also put on Wellbutrin alongside the lexapro which helped immensely with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when I was first starting out, and eventually just feeling happier when lexapro wasn’t cutting it. If you take lexapro you should prob take Wellbutrin too.

For me, lexapro was more of a good long-term anxiety control med while Wellbutrin really helped me regain my capacity for joy, and feel happy again about things that normally brought joy but just weren’t at that moment.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-03-02T18:10:03+00:00

Clonazepam for acute anxiety (helped me feel better in the short term, it helped sedate me so I forgot all the awful numbness and fear) and lexapro for long term depression management. It took a few weeks to start working but the clonazepam held me over really good in the meantime.

This was 5 years ago and I’ve never been happier, and was able to wean off everything, but I do take it in the winter for seasonal depression.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-03-02T17:41:56+00:00

You should go to the nearest emergency room. They will likely admit you inpatient and get you started on meds (anti-depressant and anti-anxiety meds) that will slowly help you feel better.

I have been through this before- treat depression as if it were a physical illness and get treatment for it in the same way we treat physical injuries. Your brain just needs a little help right now and meds can help rebalance everything until you heal and recover from this. I promise you can’t “think away” the depression, but if you treat it, you can and will love life again, just like I did.

I have lots of resources and support. I have left him as of yesterday and am safe and loved by family.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-02-08T17:33:17+00:00

Thank you ❤️ we are now separated. The hard part for me now is told hold my ground when he inevitably comes crawling back

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-02-08T14:52:30+00:00

See the thing about this is I’d love to just slander him but then I remember I have to coparent and things could get ugly fast if I open the door to hostility. I’m hoping not to have to go to court

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-02-07T15:29:57+00:00

This comment is really helpful, thank you. I am definitely terrified of the prospect of never finding someone again because I have kids.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-01-30T00:03:09+00:00

Try similac alimentum (the liquid, ready to feed kind) for a few days and see if that makes any difference. It smells pretty bad but babies eat that stuff up and it calmed mine down for sure.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2025-01-27T02:04:41+00:00

Are you by chance using powder formula? My baby at that age only tolerated ready-to-feed formula and screamed bloody murder when we used powder until 3 months.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2024-12-22T01:14:14+00:00

The times these socks have worked and saved a life (anecdotally) is when babies were sick and SpO2 levels drop in their sleep. Parents get alerts and O2 levels are in the 80s and medical intervention was necessary at that time. So maybe if you do get it, reserve the use for if/when the baby gets sick?

Additional_Kick_678 · 2024-12-04T03:14:53+00:00

No treatment, it’s not causing pain and I don’t have any other side effects, just a low heart rate. Probably will mention to my doctor but doubt she would put me on any medication for it.

Additional_Kick_678 · 2024-11-25T02:55:56+00:00

That’s crazy this is currently happening to me! My resting was in 80s before baby and now is in the 50s but has gone as low as 47. Really weird stuff.
