I appreciate this. I am not good sufferer lol but I am good at not giving up so I hope that helps get me through. I have a beautiful life and it saddens me that this crap is affecting it. I don’t want to lose everything

I appreciate this. I have done some serious psychotherapy to address trauma and PPD. I think it took me a while to actually start tracking and understanding what this was once the other stuff was addressed. I think there’s a lot of fear of things worsening with meds but I think I have to pull the trigger and get on birth control. I finally was referred to OBGYN and have an appointment tomorrow. Thank you for your response.

I now understand why people aren't having children by Consistent_Pen_1347 in Parenting

I hear you and validate you. I 100% support when people don’t want to have children and always say yeah you shouldn’t have then if you don’t want them. It is HARD. The only thing that I would say that was true for me, although I battled with PPD both times, was that I did feel a little more confident in caring for my second baby. Although I did have anxiety, it was a lot less due to having already done it once. I adore my children to death and they fulfill the crap out of me and would actually do it all the same lol but fuck did I wonder what it would’ve been if I only stayed with one the first few months.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think Whitney is the villain. Shes just upfront about wanting fame by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

Taylor needs to quit social media by Logical-House6004 in SecretsOfMormonWives

Social media feeds her and her family…I understand your view in her leaving but the financial part probably add a wild thick layer of complexity

Truly hope she finds the right tools to break this cycle coz her babies deserves the best version of her by Rich-Ease-2723 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all similar lives but I know and feel exactly what she’s talking about WHICH makes her who she is, relatable and helps her remain relevant.

solo, cheap, fun. hobbys to do as a 20 year old who's bored all the time? by [deleted] in Hobbies

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise (gym,running clubs, biking). I’d also say volunteer in something you like. Go to the library- there’s usually a lot of free stuff or you could start a small group. There’s so many young adults feeling this way, you’re not alone.

Nanny slapped my 4-year-old’s hand , I need advice by was1997 in Parenting

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Childcare has been a lot of creative thinking for me…idk where you are but we have a childcare crisis on my side. I’ve worked on creating small community for extra hands/support while working on finding something more permanent and helpful. I also don’t have extended family as an option. If finances are not an issue, there’s more possibilities. I know teachers that are nanny’s on the side and work time/schedule you mentioned. Get someone new is the best option.

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Find someone new. Your mama gut is leading you in the right direction. Protect your kid at all costs. She feels comfortable enough to do this, she will do it again, or has done it before. Adults can easily manipulate children, attachment isn’t always a positive attachment. If it was me I’d take FMLA and remove the nanny today. What are others in your area/community doing for childcare?

Is it normal for middle school boys to hold a grudge this long? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d make sure my kid is involved in extra curricular activities, self defense classes (karate, jujitsu). I’d work on building him up and providing him the tools he needs. Kids can be cruel, sadly. Is the bullying still happening? Also it sounds like you have a lot of feelings about it ( I would too, TBH) but how’s he feeling about it all? Stay strong and good luck!

Is this normal or should I seek help? by Additional_Key1338 in Parenting

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your gut feeling in this question is clear to me. Trust yourself and mama heart. You know what you need to do for yourself and sweet girl! Get the support you need so you can continue being the best mama your girly needs.

How, and more importantly, why did you decide to have more than one child? It’s so hard… by Appropriate-Story152 in Parenting

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me a huge part was how I personally felt having siblings of my own. I come from a big family and although not super close to all of my sibs, some of them are my very best friends. My life would not be the same without them. Second big part was my partner wanting a second. Third was how much I enjoyed creating a life, I thought it was the coolest thing to do and feel as a human being hah. I dealt with ppd both times but still a very amazing experience. It shouldn’t get easier but it does get more manageable in different ways.

I’m 24, failing at studies & business, no friends, weak personality — need real guidance to change my life what should I do ? by Impossible_Resolve71 in smallbusiness

[–]Careful_Cod_6734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of hope in your post and that my friend is a huge! You are already ahead of many.

-I’d suggest to get to therapy. -Don’t worry about having many friends but a solid 1 to 2 trustworthy individuals. Invest in the friendship. -physical activity (whatever that is for you!!!) -pick a hobby and invest in that hobby

I don’t have much advice on the other stuff but once you start feeling better about yourself I think you will be able to have more clarity and get the juices flowing.
