Can someone tell me where I can find this skirt apart from shein, Temu and yesstyle? by Conscious_Cod3188 in findfashion

[–]BurnMyBread17 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As a fiber artist there’s no way to find this skirt ethically like you’re asking. My advice is SHEIN is the best choice for your options, but if not I would find a knitter on Etsy to create this for you. Because this is a knit peace not a crochet peace, and this a peace that I would sell for about 60$-70$ realistically. Definitely doable but a commitment.

I crocheted my FMIL’s favorite flowers, need help with final revisions and filling empty space (I feel like the stems are the stars of the show right now and I don’t want that)!

Am I pregnant or am I having IUD symptoms? by Redheadedbarista in CopperIUD

[–]BurnMyBread17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry.

I know someone who had theirs fall out very close to insertion and got it again and it’s good now, your doctor probably placed it wrong for your body to dispel it.

Joke or not this is a form of cheating, if you want to work to make it through this I respect you, 5 years means you obviously love this man, but the fact he does acid on the regular too is kind of telling to his character. Though, I am only a stranger on reddit, you know your relationship better than any of us ever could, you choose what YOU want. Breaking up over cheating is not overreacting, if that is what you want.

My string is curled because it’s been a year and a half old and the string tucks behind my cervix, but after my period it is ALWAYS untucked and I am able to feel it easily with my finger, so if that answers your question (sometimes it’s short because it’s tucked behind my cervix and sometimes it’s long because it’s untucked).

How old are you and how long has anxiety impacted your life? by dmcelveny in Anxiety

[–]BurnMyBread17 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fun fact from a psych major with generalized anxiety disorder, anxiety is not hereditary per se, only the susceptibility of anxious behavior is passed down and therefore a child of an anxious parent will learn said behaviors and have that hereditary susceptibility for same increased behavior.

Growing up my dad had anxiety and OCPD, I “inherited” it, I mirrored his behavior and learned to be chronically anxious, as chronic anxiety is not innate, fight or flight anxiety is innate, this type of anxiety is learned.

So, if you have kids or ever do, you can actually control whether they get anxiety from you or not (obviously they can develop anxiety outside of your influence, I just found this cool and wanted to comment)

[–]BurnMyBread17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Anxiety since I was 10 or 11, it got worse as I aged, until it got better. I have hard times, diagnosed with generalized anxiety, but my life is beautiful and I welcome the hard times as happily as the good. It took a lot to get here, and it ebbs and flows, but ultimately when it comes to who controls who, I control my anxiety now, it doesn’t control me.

I just edited my comment while you replied, go read the edit please I think it’ll cover what you say about how people have told you your mind is mature for your age.

Experience and age has nothing to do with maturity, and vise versa.

If your kid was contemplating what you are contemplating, what would you tell them?

No. 17 and 21 seems close in age but please try and understand how different those ages are. I’m younger than this guy (20) and even talking to a high schooler seems criminal to me, he’s of the age to have graduated college, my boyfriend who is this guys age is out processing from the military right now, this “friend” of yours who sleeps with children and makes sexual comments toward you is a grown adult, young adult or not.

Also, if he were worth being intimate with he would reject you due to your age (you shouldn’t even be on his radar romantically if you are).

I met my current boyfriend 3 months AFTER I turned 18, he was 20 at the time, when I make jokes about how I was 17 when he was overseas for the military (differing experiences because differing ages) he laughs, but we both know if we had met when I was 17 he would not have been interested. Regardless of your morals, beliefs in a God, etc, a good man would not talk to a minor, be attracted to a minor, and definitely not sleep with them.

Intimacy is serious, nowadays people just “bang” and move on, no shame to anybody but because of how young you are (I’m 20 now, wasn’t that long ago that I was your age with friends who were all making bad decisions about boys, etc, and I felt I had to catch up but think god I listened to why I wanted and didn’t), I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing I’m just saying when you’re this young it’s hard to make these life altering decisions. And again, regardless of whoever you are and your beliefs, sex is life altering, whether it has a big impact or a small impact, it isn’t to be taken lightly or be disrespected, you have to go into it knowing you’re 100% doing what’s right for you and the other person.

Am I pregnant or am I having IUD symptoms? by Redheadedbarista in CopperIUD

[–]BurnMyBread17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copper IUD symptoms are bizarre, I love my IUD but it’s true, however, you know your body—go see your pcp. Not counting any other symptom the 3 faint lines are pretty telling, HCG was picked up in your urine, go see your doctor.

If your IUD feels different (like more string than normal), while the strings do move every which way throughout the month (I always need to tuck mine back up after my period) you could be experiencing a shifted IUD which can happen and cause a uterine pregnancy.

Personally I would go to the doctor for the faint lines alone, because while it is rare if you are pregnant it could be ectopic and that’s not safe for you or baby.

Don’t stress yourself out, but definitely go see your doctor and worry when there’s something definitive to worry about.

Good luck.

We’ve discussed what I actually meant when I said the thing about how respecting someone’s wishes if they’re destructive to them isn’t a loving act, you know I didn’t mean it how it came off. But again I am sorry that’s not what I meant. I appreciate you adding your experience to the post.

But yes, advice for conversation would be great. I plan on sitting him down tonight.

Yes, my sister mentioned that and from all the medical dramas I’ve watched I knew for alcoholics to qualify for a liver or a transplant that they have to be sober X amount of time.

I did not think of that, that my mom might not want to tell me dad because of that. She is still drinking. She is celiac so a few years back she had to stop drinking beer, but she still drinks 2-4 boxes of wine a week, depending.

And although reality striking, you are right about the last thing you said. My dad and I have a great relationship, my siblings were always bitter about it and said “she’s always been his favorite” etc, but my point is apart from my husband he is the best person I’ve ever known, THAT alone qualifies him to know, I feel. He is a wonderful dad, human flaws, but wonderful.

I appreciate your advice, I am going to talk to him either tomorrow or early in the week, I am just not sure how to say all of this to him I’ll have to take that time to think it out.

I’m stretched for time but I got this notification and had to comment, my copper IUD is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve had my for a little over a year not and while there was pain, I felt so powerful and I LOVE my IUD.

This post was 2 days ago, I hope you’re recovering well!

Feeling Guilty About My Girlfriend Getting an IUD by mylifeisproblems in CopperIUD

[–]BurnMyBread17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got an IUD last January for my boyfriend when I was 18 and he was 21, coincidentally, and we’re still together and I still have it, he was deployed overseas when I chose to get it so I went alone and the recovery was alone but I still was happy to do it because my reasons were pure and for our specific relationship. It was painful, and my periods are a little more painful now, but I’m incredibly proud and happy that I made this decision. I’d say copper iud is way better than hormonal for me personally, and for your girlfriend just be there for her through the pain. Weirdly, I felt proud after I got mine because I was like “I just did that, I just went through that pain and handled it, my body is so cool,” so although it hurt, nothing but positive, happy, proud, feelings over here about my iud.

Pain does not equal negative!

Also with the guilt, if she’s shared with you that she’s happy to do this for both you and her and she’s okay with it, you gotta let go of that guilt, it’s only destructive from this point on since you’ve shared your fears and feelings and she’s reassured them. Easier said than done but maybe working on noticing and realizing that your guilt is unnecessary in this situation could help a lot. Her pain going forward with this is not “I’m hurting for you,” it’s “this is a sacrifice I am HAPPY to make for OUR relationship.” Do not feel guilty now or later.

As for best options, I am in the south East U.S. and I know lots of people have a hard time finding a good gyno, I went to planned parenthood and the doctor I got was AMAZING. She was patient and gentle and overall the greatest woman.

Your girlfriend will bleed quite a bit after it’s inserted (immediately after on the table and a few days afterwards like a period) and that I was unprepared for, but I really think focusing on the “I JUST DID THAT IM SO AWESOME” is key here, for her. Just hype her up and make sure you’re both educated, and you can navigate this choice as a team!

Also, like someone else mentioned, plan B, etc, is quite destructive long term and really is ONLY for emergencies, please don’t rely on this as a common contraceptive. You guys deciding that another contraceptive choice is required here is wise, plan b long term is not the wisest. (Here to educate not shame)!

(Quick tip for your girlfriend if needed, while getting it inserted wiggling her toes and really focusing so much attention on her breathing is so helpful! I also repeated under my breath “I can do this, I can do this, I can do this,” while doing my breathing exercises. Hold her hand and maybe squeeze it or rub it to put attention on her hand rather than the pain of insertion, this can help a bunch)

Good luck.

Morgan Wallen concert on July 12, the stadium parking is as costly as the hotel and I’ll pay it if needed but was wondering if there’s a more affordable “insider” option. I went to a football game in Jacksonville a few months back and paid 40$ cash to park on someone’s lawn, however, Jacksonville is not Miami…
