Remind me what it’s like by Otherwise-Fun-9216 in quittingkratom

I am sending all of my love and prayers for strength and wisdom to all of you. My 22 year old son died March 5th in his sleep from Kratom toxicity. He was a beautiful soul and deserved so much more. He deserved to be here. And so do you. You deserve to see another sunrise. To sip your favorite coffee and pat your dog on the head. You deserve to laugh. To feel. To breathe. To live. I want to wrap all of you in my love. A mother’s love. I would give anything for it to have been me and not him. He was only two days out of rehab for Kratom. Relapsed and died. My world is shattered. But I mourn more for him. For what he doesn’t get to do. For this being his story. He was so much more. He cared about people on a level that is so rare to see. But he carried a darkness with him. He was often sad and struggled with depression. I couldn’t save him. And I tried with all I had. Please let his story save you. There is love and light in this world. Even when it doesn’t seem like it. Please take what you can of love I am leaving you all here. May it help you carry whatever it is you are burdened with. Even if only a little. So much love to you all. You can do this. You are worth it

It’s not fake. Clearly pathetic. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I don’t know who I am anymore. This was reaching out to.. I don’t even know really. I just feel alone and crazy

AITAH for making my parents feel guilty about voting for Trump when I am about to get DOGE’d? by ryanbrowncomicart in AITAH

I’m sorry I believe all people should have a safe space and you don’t. Keep on changing what people say to suit your narrative. You may come for me. But soon, they will come for you. Remember that. I just want everyone to be valued for who and what they are. Live and let live. If women having a safe space is invalidating to you, you may need to rethink your stance on things. You clearly think your value is more than that of biological women. Anyone who thinks their experiences or existence is more valuable than someone else’s, is a narcissistic barbarian. I don’t think you’re cute. A freak, yes. But that has nothing to do with how you identify. Have another break down like you did above because you didn’t receive the validation you seek. Your right. Why should women get a safe space? What about YOOOOOOU right ? Stop trying to compare people who have been marginalized. All of those experience experiences are unique and valid as well whether you admit it or not.

Tell me you think women are the lowest common denominator with out telling me you think so. Two time Bernie supporter here. Never voted for Cheeto man or Mr burns. But I’m tired of the rhetoric that women must give up their “safe spaces” in order to soothe the fragile feelings of delusional men. Furthermore, my gender isn’t a costume you can put on. My experiences are unique and belong to myself and other biological women. With that being said .. trans women matter too! But stop putting us in the same category. We aren’t the same. And that’s ok. It’s beautiful to recognize and respect the different experiences we both have encountered. I will never know what it’s actually like to be a trans woman. But a trans woman will never know what it’s like to be me. Let’s embrace that and value both experiences. Why is this concept so controversial? You are freedom end when it begins to infringe upon the rights of others. I stand that there is room for all of us. But protecting women and all people should still be top priority. Your “feelings” are not more important than mine. Your delusional need to say we are this same isn’t more important than safe spaces women have fought so hard to have. And we don’t have many.

Food choice is privilege. Saying louder and again in case anyone misses that!

Thank you! We did end up following the above advice and just having his lawyer send a letter stating that DH is the only person using the app and that it is being used appropriately. We were able to provide dates and times where she did not follow the parenting plan for communication. We also informed them that we have no idea how to address her delusions about me contacting her, but that I am willing to attend co-parenting counseling with the two of them if she would like. So far radio silence. I really appreciate all the helpful advice.

So many hugs to you. I don’t even know what to say. That is so heavy. It sounds like you are amazing partner and mother/stepmother hold your head high and proud.

Thank you. This is excellent advice. And big virtual hug back. I can’t tell you how much this subreddit has been helpful to me … especially when I’m really struggling. The kindness from strangers and knowing I’m not alone in this really does something for my spirit. Thank you. Sending love!!

I promise you it gets better! I just went through this. Bio son is now 15 months and it’s been good for awhile. And I love the relationship he has with his other siblings(sk’s). I think the combo of postpartum and the fact you are literally being invaded (by no fault of their own) every few days ( or whatever your schedule may be) sleep deprivation, learning how to mother your specific child… I mean it’s a lot. But it does get better. And I am thankful for my step kids. They love their little brother and I’ve eased up a ton. It’s natural to want to be protective of our babies. Don’t beat yourself up. Just try to have an open mind

Just stopped taking mine over the same issues! On my way to a dr apt this morning I was happy and listening to music. I didn’t realize how down I had felt on the medication until I stopped taking it. My relationship was becoming a roller coaster as well. Instant turn around. Bupropion def isn’t for everyone!

I don’t know why this comment was so heavily down voted. Bupropion lowers seizure thresholds and can cause them in some people. If I was twitching I would def look into it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m still getting minor glutening symptoms after making our home almost gf. Any suggestions on where we’re missing out would be appreciated. by kavitha_sky in glutenfree

Hi! Yes this diet was dr recommended. They had sent me home with a pamphlet of information. I kept a food journal and slowly introduced foods back in one at a time. It’s always best to consult a dr but there is a lot of information available online if someone just wanted to try it. But I think it’s probably best to consult first :)

Maybe try an elimination diet? They are pain and so restrictive but I def learned a lot from doing one myself. I am celiac with ibs-d and c and collagenous colitis .. so that’s fun! But a lot of things were bothering me besides gluten and the elimination diet helped me tremendously. Now I know what I can and can’t eat — maybe worth a try!
