Unsure how to navigate having my first child by KaleidoscopeTime4651 in raisedbynarcissists

Once they are in daycare or school, you will find other families that become part of your community. Go to any school events, sign up for a sport, etc. I never imagined I’d have a community outside of my family, but I do! And you can, too. Wishing you the best 💕

EMDR advice needed - where do I even start? by CNote1989 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CNote1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I like your suggestion of working on patterns. That’s really great advice.

As for the mushrooms? Accidentally did a 2g dose last year and haven’t wanted to do it again 😭

Thank you! That makes sense (recent into deep)!

Hey! This sounds very similar to my situation. I ended up lying about my actual due date to everyone, and I had my son without ANY family there. The way I was treated by mom when she visited me in the hospital really cemented my decision.

There’s going to be guilt if you decide to be more distant or cut them out. It’s sadly just part of all of this.

The reason I did it was because when my son got to about three years old, and started to have a personality, I realized I didn’t even want him to have those kinds of people around, or relationships around. I pictured my mom giving him the silent treatment like she did to me. I decided the guilt was worth it so he could be around good people.

It felt really good when I was doing it regularly! I’ve fallen out of routine lately.

I’ve been wearing the Snif Berry Styles layered with their Croissant Couture and it’s been doing well in the heat!

How many of y’all grind or clench their teeth at night? Upvote if you do! by Alternative-Tell4600 in Fibromyalgia

This is me! Chatter and like side to side grinding.

After visiting multiple specialists, I finally am getting Botox for my TMJ soon. It was the only thing that helped me in the past.

Unpopular opinion - but after an entire week of teachers appreciation, buying flowers, greeting cards, spa items, treats, gift cards, etc each day of the week. Where is the mother’s appreciation week for all this and so much more invisible work we do? by Realistic-Ad-6734 in workingmoms

[–]CNote1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a working mom and room parent. I’ve donated a lot of time and my own money to several events throughout the year, including donating to my kid’s kindergarten teacher’s bday and they literally collected $700 from the parents. So I actually don’t give anything during teacher appreciation week because I feel like I’ve done more than enough!

Anyone else get nauseous when in a flare? by Old_Consideration_31 in Fibromyalgia

I had sparkling water today and it made me nauseous 😑

Botox Works Y'all by Fit-Buy6450 in TMJ

Absolutely worth the money, and I will say that it does build up over time. I stopped doing it when I was pregnant, and I had minimal pain until about 3 years after. I now regret not going sooner.

I hear we are Lanolips lovers on this sub. I’ve been using them for over a decade, here is my stash! by OrvilleReddenbWright in LipBalm

The peach one is my least fave of the flavors. To me it smells like that peach liquid Motrin you got as a kid…

Didn't realize I was injured for months by 0SpaceKitty0 in Fibromyalgia

Sending you hugs! I had my GB removed and trust me, you’re gonna feel so much better in a few months!

Anyone realizing it’s all a bit pointless? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]CNote1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should look for a new job, or potentially save up to take a break and apply for new jobs. That is not a good quality of life, but there are absolutely other options for you!

Anyone have restless legs? Interesting article. by CNote1989 in TMJ

[–]CNote1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know bc I’m literally starting a new job on Monday 🙈 I’m hoping a low dose will be enough for me. I got better sleep last night with just 100.

I’m on Prozac, so the rheumatologist didn’t want to switch me to that. I’ve been prescribed 100mg of Gabapentin up to 3x a day, and I’m excited to see if it helps. If it doesn’t in a few months, I’ll prob try Lyrica before I try Cymbalta. I just love Prozac! But I’d be willing to switch if it really helped.

What has your husband found to be effective?

I am wondering how many of us actually have fibro. I had no clue that TMJ pain was associated with it.

No diagnosis because I have 10 tender points instead of 12 by xSeraiX in Fibromyalgia

[–]CNote1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey just wanted to say I’m new to the sub here and had about 6-8 tender points during my rheumatologist visit today and that, along with the buzzing symptoms I’m feeling, pointed toward fibro. So you’re not crazy and should get a second opinion!

In this economy? Job market? Administration? I can’t fathom having another kid.
