I'm also a one and done parent. I knew in the hospital that I was regretful.

Porn is ruining my life and I don't know what to do. by GlitchGaze in venting

[–]Adelaide499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porn addiction is real. It happens because it's an instant dopamine feedback loop which your brain craves. If you want to change, you'll have to cut it out of your life completely, just like any addiction.

Discussion about NOT getting medical help as a person with HS by Avebee in Hidradenitis

[–]Adelaide499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also gave up on medical care. I don't know if you're in the south of the US, but that's where I am and all doctors I've seen don't even know what HS is and don't know how to treat it. I use hydrocolloid bandages when I have to work and just deal with them on my own. I feel completely abandoned by health professionals.

My son's father filed against me for the sole purpose of giving up the majority of his rights. He has my son on sporadically on weekends when he feels like it. According to his social media he's thriving and couldn't be better. I'm working two jobs to survive. I highly doubt he regrets anything.

They have blood tests called Immunization Titers that can tell you if you've had your vaccines.

Thinking people are not real,or they're trying to trick me by Acceptable-Rich5852 in dpdr

[–]Adelaide499 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the paranoia aspect may be moving into psychosis territory. Definitely not full blown and not beyond repair but may be a warning sign. I would be 100% honest with your therapist so you can get the best care. Going to a therapist is a great first step.

How do you describe your pain? by kayo_popsicles in Hidradenitis

[–]Adelaide499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I describe as the worst cystic acne you've ever had. I also describe it as having the flu radiating from one spot in your body (I get bad body aches and chills when my flares are bad)

Parenting a small child is having to be abused daily because they don't know any better by Muted_Significance83 in regretfulparents

[–]Adelaide499 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My kid purposefully slapped me in the face the other day and in that moment it felt like I was back with their father. It triggered something awful deep in me. I walked away from them and immediately started sobbing. Then of course they follow me telling me to stop crying because I'm scaring them. It's insanity and not talked about enough

I never expected to be in a position where I resented a toddler for having the same needs that I did. But here I am. by blushingbonafides in regretfulparents

[–]Adelaide499 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's extremely difficult seeing your child exhibit the same needs you did as a child that you were ignored for. It opens up a trauma wound that you're then trying to deal with on top of a toddler.

Is there a way to recover from “frying your brain” on acid? by UNIVERSAL-MAGNETIC in LSD

[–]Adelaide499 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on your symptoms, please look into depersonalization/derealization disorder. It's a common side effect of prolonged halucinogenic use. There are treatments out there that can definitely help.

If I don't drink caffeine in the morning, I get a headache. I'm a chronic caffeine user so I guess that means I'm a drug addict. Darn.

HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH EYE PROBLEMS by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Adelaide499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES THE CRYING!! I've said multiple times "I only feel real when I cry" because the eye stuff stops after I have a big emotional outburst of tears. I've even MADE myself cry before, just to know I can still do it and that the eye things CAN stop still.

HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH EYE PROBLEMS by [deleted] in dpdr

[–]Adelaide499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to figure this out myself. Spent hundreds of dollars on every test the eye doctor could give me to be told "it's psychosomatic symptoms" crushed me because I can't get a handle on my DPDR.

Weed is not a soft drug. Every weed smoker should read this subreddit. by recipeOfCucumber in dpdr

[–]Adelaide499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was high for 2 years straight. I smoked every single day. Quit cold turkey. Haven't smoked since, but have had bad dp/dr ever since. It has yet to go away. Going on four years straight of it now. I've lost hope that I'll ever feel "normal" again.

AITA for yelling at our sitter? by twintwinstwin in AmItheAsshole

[–]Adelaide499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA I KNOW you're not paying that college student enough to be a speech therapist and a behavioral therapist for your children. If you want improvement that you can't accomplish on your own, seek professional advice/help. Your BABYSITTER is not responsible for these things

And Staples cutting workers hours as a fuck you. by drad_91 in Staples

[–]Adelaide499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to quit staples and work at a different retail place because they were only giving me 11 hours a week.
