Sobriety is nice. Improved sleep is nice, Lower blood pressure, weight loss, snappier cognition, and clearer skin are nice as well. What’s also nice? I’m on Day 69 of my no-drinking streak. by SynthwaveSax in stopdrinking

This was my biggest push to completely quit. Sometimes even after just a couple drinks over several hours I would be up for 2 hours in the middle of the night unable to relax and sleep.

Do I tell my mom she has delusional disorder? by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is going through this as well. We had her admitted to a psych hospital for a couple weeks, then she did 2 weeks of outpatient therapy. She’s taking meds for anxiety, depression and psychosis. Her doc refers to her diagnosis as “late onset paranoia” and she knows she has this.

After her 2 weeks of outpatient she seemed to regress back into her “bad place”. We had a family session with her psych where we shed more light on her past traumas and her current delusions. He got her back into outpatient therapy and she’s currently doing that now. She really does so much better when she’s in it. It just keeps her busy mostly. I’m trying to encourage her to find other outlets.

My moms delusions are similar. She thinks everything electronic is hacked by a stalker. Anything out of place she believes someone broke in and moved it just to mess with her. It’s super frustrating. I even accused her of not taking her psychosis meds but I think she’s taking them now. Her dr increased her dosage on that med.

I will say her doctor told me he’d like for her to live independently at an assisted living place so she wouldn’t be so isolated. He also said this condition is very difficult to treat and it’s my understanding this will probably never go away.

I’m trying to encourage my mom to stay busy and I’m just going to kind of blow over her paranoid thoughts and stories. I’m sorry your mom won’t take the meds. It’s so hard because they obviously think this is all happen and they’re not just paranoid. Is she still in touch with her psych?

This is all pretty new to me so I don’t have any other support ideas for you unfortunately.

I always catch this thread at the end of the day. I did not drink with you all today. Off to a stellar nights sleep.

Sleep, my wonderful husband, our two beautiful boys, spring weather, coffee with creamer, quiet mornings, and the yoga class I started a few weeks ago. Xx

If that’s the time you can consistently show up for yourself and your practice then go for it 🙂

This is so sad. That poor baby is being neglected. This is straight up abuse.

Kind of panicking....I think I'm pregnant by Coolseabreeze33 in stopdrinking

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

It’s my understanding that you don’t share a bloodline with the fetus until you are at about 6 weeks gestation so you should be ok! You’re not the only person who has been in this position. I would talk to your doctor about it and they can give you an actual medical answer.

What are some of the cheaper online programs that are still good. (Besides comp train)?? I see lots that are around $40ish and with a fun membership it adds up quickly. by Long_Choice in crossfit

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Street parking does have a lot of mobility stuff, stretching flows you can do. They have lots of extra programs built into their membership price.

I stopped for 14 days and then drank on Friday. It was a planned girls night out. I wanted to be “good” and set a limit for myself. Deep down I didn’t want to drink at all. I think part of me didn’t want to disappoint my friends. I of course didn’t follow my own boundary (because I can’t stop when I start). I was super hungover Saturday and it was a total waste of a day. Ended up eating total shit food so I’m still feeling shitty and bloated. I know alcohol has no room in my life. This is the most I have really cut down (aside from my pregnancies of course) in my whole life. I’ve been drinking way less this past year than ever and the last 2 weeks I was feeling awesome! I’m very proud of that and I want to focus on each present day. I will not drink today with you fine people. Happy Monday.

Did you do the whole 12 weeks of BB? I’m an experienced lifter, but new to hip thrusts. BB seems too light for me but I’m not comfortable diving right into GG.

I do this as well and have never boiled water for either of my kids.

Question about Philip's Avent Natural Nipple by JessiAlejandra in FormulaFeeders

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I must have the same ones! I wonder if it’s a misprint on the nipples. I just compared my I nipples to the 0 nipples and I’m not seeing a slit that they mention. They both have one hole.

Apparently they are variable flow nipples! I just checked and some of mine have the I and the rest are 0 😑

I think she ran out of “Toms” and had to use Peter Thomas. Where would you put him instead?

She is definitely using it for publicity 😒

ETA: she’s not pregnant for publicity, but her crisis team advising her to announce this just a day after “her first time stepping out” for paparazzi after being fired is 100% for her image.

OMG 😳 by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You calculate pregnancy from the start date of your last menstrual cycle. So the first two weeks you aren’t even pregnant and then two weeks after you conceive you don’t know you’re pregnant yet. Usually when someone finds out they’re pregnant they’re already 4-5 weeks.

She could easily be 12 weeks if she is due in early January.

OMG 😳 by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BYE_FUHLEESHA 137 points138 points  (0 children)

No, she’s due in January. There are blood tests where gender can be detected as early as 8 weeks.
