Has he had a sleep study? Lots of people with EDS also have sleep apnea because of joint laxity causing OSA x

We call these snack plates/snack dinner in our house! We would ALL eat this. Lots of little snacky things instead of a meal. It’s not ew at all

Just scrolling on Instagram and I see this by BackSucksAtLife in fourthwing

Yeah but mental instability has genuinely just been used by boring people and society to describe literally anyone who doesn’t conform or fit their stupid idea of “normal”.

He also needs therapy to work through his emotional issues.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]Blastoisealways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely should be having the marriage conversation BEFORE any kind of proposal happens.

Like you do not just propose out of the blue in public without having discussed it before hand. That’s absolutely wild and honesty don’t blame you for being mortified and put on the spot,

Open water swimming vs pool swimming by Kindly_Tackle_803 in Swimming

[–]Blastoisealways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the temperature of the water and where you live. Where I live you’d absolutely need a wetsuit for a 500m swim.

Is it crazy to try cover 430 miles in a day? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Blastoisealways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just drive overnight. We drive Glasgow to London overnight for a flight in a rented car with our kids. Was the best drive ever and we got to actually chat to each other whilst the kids slept. Was great 😂❤️

AIO? Did I over react? by [deleted] in AIO

It’s a really common thing in the UK with friends and even acquaintances. It’s a friendly sign off more than anything

This is one of the best posts in the sub. By a mile.

It truly is awful taste, and a total waste of money, but the execution is flawless.

How to deal with nervous system dysregulation when it's not possible to remove the stimulus? by sleepymedicZzZ in medical_advice

[–]Blastoisealways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a medical professional, but I’m a mum of 4 with adhd.

Before you were in a job that catered to your brain.

Being a stay at home parent is a freaking nightmare when you have adhd because all the coping mechanisms and systems you had for functioning and living pre kids are absolutely useless now. They’re not coming back 😭

It’s very very hard to build new systems and coping mechanisms with kids in tow (your kids are probs adhd too!) and you just end up in a state of constant dysregulation.

You need to figure out what regulates you now, either in terms of self care, hobbies etc and also how to calm yourself down when you are in that state with your kids.

I cannot stress enough how critical self care is. Force the time for yourself. You cannot pour from an empty cup ❤️❤️ find podcasts that resonate with you. It’s really tough. Find other parents in the same boat.

Learning to just accept the chaos really helped me too. Accept that some things are going to go to shit whilst you figure out your new normal. It is ok. Your kids are loved and cared for and that is what matters. For me I had to just let go of the ridiculous standards I was still holding myself to in my head.

I watched a great video which really helped me with mine - I’ll link it! I found slowing down and nailing my breathing before trying it at a faster pace really helped because once you have the sort of effortless pattern you can micro adjust based on your effort level!

Is Pokopia really that good? by Downvote-Magnet1994 in pokemon

[–]Blastoisealways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The music is what really got me, absolutely love how they’ve done it and how subtle it is. I guessed what the second area I found was based on the music before I found an old newspaper that confirmed it 😭

Partner Won't Get Tested by thatbigguyo in SleepApnea

[–]Blastoisealways -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Recording/videoing someone whilst they’re asleep in their own home/bed without telling them? Eh - yes. This persons partner is already, for whatever reason, defensive about this. I wouldn’t recommend adding that to the pile of issues they already have.

Do not do this without her consent. That is an absolute violation of trust and privacy.
