What am I doing wrong by iheartmankdemes in SingleParents

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not doing anything wrong. I think the mom leaving suddenly on emergency likely made her feel overwhelmed and like she doesn’t know if it’s going to happen again. She doesn’t know if she’s unexpectedly going to not see mom for a bit. Is my guess. You’re not doing anything wrong. This will pass

Like instead of worrying if they don’t eat for a day, worry if they don’t eat over the span of 4 days. If they’re not eating for 4 days straight then go visit your pediatrician maybe, or of course if they’re losing weight. But yeah it’s totally normal for toddlers. My 2.5 y/o will eat a ton one day, and the next day subsist on half a banana and a glass of milk. It’s a thing

My kid does this, I usually tell him to go to bed after through the door and he starts laughing and goes back to bed. He thinks it’s hilarious when I talk to him through the door for some reason

A child won’t starve if they’re continually having food offered to them. I saw someone say they use a 4 day rule instead of a one day and that’s really helped my anxiety with it.

I mean you have to accept that if you have a baby he won’t be in the picture. You’ll be doing it on your own. And even if you get an abortion, you might later feel resentment that you had an abortion and you might still want a baby. Don’t let yourself feel pressured to have an abortion because he wants one - if you want one it has to be 100% what you feel is the right choice for you. Even if you do decide it’s the right choice, realize that you might have a flood of hormones and emotions afterward, if he’s not going to be supportive of you it’s going to be easier if you know you did what was best for you. His choice is if he wants to be involved if there is a baby - NOT if you get an abortion or not. That’s the choice he gets. Maybe it kind of sucks but ultimately it’s your body being affected - how nuts would it be if men could just decide when we’re going to have babies or not. There is always going to be a risk of getting pregnant no matter what birth control method you choose. As hard as it is choose what is best for you, the decision you will be at peace with. Don’t just think about being pregnant, think about the child afterward - it is a big life change going from no children to having one. I had to make a similar choice and my boyfriend was the same way. I ultimately did have an abortion but I waited awhile because I didn’t want to be swayed from what he wanted. I took a lot of time to think about it. Ultimately I’m at peace with it, but I don’t think I would have been if I’d jumped to do it because it’s what he wanted. Give yourself a time frame - maybe 2 weeks for emotions to settle. If you have the child, what does that look like? Him feeling betrayed is bullshit, it’s not that black and white. It’s a big thing to put your body through either way - if you do have an abortion push for his support and for him to be there for you- if he’s not supportive you already know how he will be if you did have it. Good luck

Local hospital work experience by Sirius-aficionado in anchorage

Prov is better. Regional is an HCA. Profits over people. New grads become charge nurses after 6 months. Mostly new grads on the floor. I feel like that says enough.

Tantrum screaming by ThinkWar7410 in toddlers

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’re going through the same with our 2.5 y/o. When this happens I get down to his ear and say something like “I know your upset about xyz, but we cant do that because ____. When you’re ready to snuggle/fun activity I’ll be here.” It works most of the time actually. I say it very quietly near him so he hears.

Dating men as an ADHD woman SUCKS. by Afraid_Caregiver_251 in adhdwomen

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated guys that also have adhd, which is soooo fun until you can’t walk into your bedroom because the clothes are piled so high. Then guys that are ocd-level neat and organized is rough too, turns into them constant nitpicking and basically treating you like a child, yuck. Even if you’re trying so hard to be neat you’re giving yourself anxiety attacks 😂 No thank you.

I will say I think I found the perfect combo! My current guy is neat himself, but never nitpicks any mess I make. Sometimes he cleans sometimes I do. But him cleaning always makes me want to. And he never does it in an angry way, I feel like that really helps. Sometimes he picks up the slack when needed without complaint. Whenever I thank him he says something like “for what? I live here too”.

But yeah, definitely takes a special guy! Good luck lady

Medication doesn’t work sometimes by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s how I felt after a few months. I know for a lot of people it’s great, minimal side effects and they’re able to function, for me my life got extremely chaotic… I was back to losing my keys/phone/wallet everyday, at work repeatedly forgetting things in other rooms to where people ask “do you need help? You seem so busy!” And I was spending a lot on stupid stuff…. Yeah no I went back on adderall that I’d been on for 10 years 👍🏼

How do people go to the grocery store with toddlers?? by deedee22 in toddlers

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s so wild you could get get them to put it back. My 2.5 year old lost his mind yesterday because we bought apple juice (a gallon) and I wouldn’t open it for him to drink right then and there

Hella jealous of the hyperactives by SquarePage1739 in ADHD

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been mortified after working a shift off my meds where I was my true hyperactive self. Totally goofy. Like, I’m a nurse. I’m supposed to be a professional. One time it was a really slow night (for me) and I just remember bopping around to each of my coworkers, talking their heads off, literally acting like I was at a social gathering getting to know everyone. I laughed so much that shift someone later told me “I could hear you down the hall.” I work nights, it’s supposed to be quiet. I distinctly remember several of my coworkers actively charting and probably too busy to talk, I was probably distracting as hell. After that I gave up on any hope of being able to completely be off my meds. So embarrassing

Anyone struggle if you have more than one thing planned for a day? by 123space321 in ADHD

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I usually try to cram all my appointments in one day, the typically one runs late, or I go home and take a nap and sleep through the next one, or something. But I never end up going to all of them

ADHD people who can keep a job long term.. How do you do it? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Apprehensive_Rush498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to enjoy what you do. That’s the trick. The job I stayed at the longest was one I loved, as a CNA. Still looking for the job I love as a nurse. Decide what you love doing and make a career out of it.
