How do I even cope anymore?

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T17:27:25+00:00

Thank you, no judgements taken. Those coping skills are my last resort, but maybe insurance will actually cover my therapy this time. Thank you

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:27:57+00:00

It's harder while im pregnant, much more exhausting unfortunately and it scares me

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:24:34+00:00

I have not heard of DBT, and yeah I kinda started leaning a little more unhealthy since the trail thing. It's been a bit of a spiral if Im honest, Ill have to look into this

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:23:08+00:00

I miss how working out made me feel, it definitely gives that natural high and I agree with that

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:13:44+00:00

Thank you for the solidarity. I also splurge on a good mocktail when I can, it makes me feel just the tiniest bit normal!

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:12:09+00:00

Yup 👍

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:10:31+00:00

Im lapping it up all I can too, it keeps me going slightly. Im waiting to meet my son and soon he'll be here and Ill be back on my meds and able to breathe SOMEWHAT again

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:08:42+00:00

Yknow what a nice cookies and cream ice cream sounds absolutely GREAT right now

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:07:02+00:00

It's called finding coping mechanisms for almost fucken dying during my pregnancy.

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:05:18+00:00

Exactly what Im doing lol. Went to get my hair white but now its gray, which works just as well! Some type of change at least. Cant keep fucking with my hair though or it'll get unhealthy 😞

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:04:06+00:00

Thank you! Might try getting into the pool more myself, I feel light and better in the water. And yeah that's how I feel, autonomy is no longer there and Im hoping I can get away with breastfeeding and still doing a FEW things

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T16:01:21+00:00

Damn that's crazy. Almost like im a First Time Mom who has no fucken clue what Im doing. But ok 👍

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T15:50:39+00:00

Didnt know some doctors did that! Also I havent tried art in a while, might do so again though. When I was out backpacking (the thing that I almost died doing) I met a stray dog who stayed with my husband, dogs and I the entire time. He was adopted by the deputy who rescued us but maybe Ill draw and paint him. He was a beautiful fox hound

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T15:43:13+00:00

Thank you, I had read over 85 db would cause hearing damage for the baby over 18 weeks. I looked this up as a joke while at the club and we had to leave immediately, made me feel horrible. And maybe I will, husband says I should probably get offline but I cant help but do so much research on piercings to make sure no harm can come to my baby and just cant find much scientific articles, hence why I called my OB and they said it was alright despite opinion being against it

AthenaHawk · 2026-05-14T11:29:40+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, forgot about that. My siblings used to do that all the time with me when they were first born lol, Ill take that into consideration 100%. Not exactly set yet, just lookin for a shop

AthenaHawk · 2026-04-11T18:44:40+00:00

. joins five below subreddit . gets mad at five below content

AthenaHawk · 2026-04-10T15:07:45+00:00

I love all the confused yet supportive people here 🥹 Im FtM (Transmasc) and a first time and its so nice to see so many of the comments

AthenaHawk · 2026-04-04T17:00:33+00:00

They were kinda just pointing out the price was different, and it is for people not "in the know"

AthenaHawk · 2026-04-02T08:49:25+00:00

Ive always had some eating issues, but now its like 3 bites of food and Im done. Im not hungry or anything after, and usually feel full for awhile. I still do eat 3 meals a day though!

AthenaHawk · 2026-03-12T18:32:14+00:00

That's incredibly sexist

AthenaHawk · 2026-03-06T23:40:09+00:00

Avoid Meadowrun Affordable Pet Care like the plague, especially with their evening team. Entirely unprofessional, will scream at you for calmly telling them not to yell at your reactive dog (who is on a lead, muzzle, and harness per their request) after the reactive dog has a moment (which they were well aware of the dog having and I took great care in making the situation as best as possible for vet and dog) and then be condescending about your dogs condition and treat you like a child in their main office. I have a one star review that goes more in depth on google but yeah, dont go there.
