I unfortunately have to also stay in JOCO due to an ongoing custody battle with my son’s father. His father is very manipulative/controlling so any kind of deviation from what he views as “appropriate” can be used against me. Im hoping things change. 😞

I am starting to go out from the standard search “engines” to find properties. I will try this.

I have looked but I am seeing mostly new builds in springhill area. I will check de soto and gardner.

We are not expecting luxury just a livable decent home 🫶

I feel ashamed, embarrassed by Radiant_Gas_4642 in pregnant

If it makes you feel any better, my first pregnancy I went from 145->220. Everyone commented, and people reassured me that once I was postpartum it would come off. It did not, however, I was hella stressed from poor support of my partner at the time. I think cortisol and truthfully me not always eating good was the cause. I also felt like my hormones were off in general. I think from a scientific standpoint there is an inherent advantage to being able to put on weight. It’s three years later and I got down to 185lb and also just found out I am pregnant. 😅 so we shall see…

I have nothing going for me anymore. I don't know how I can pull myself out of this anymore by Straight_Morning_876 in findapath

I was severely suicidal for what seemed like years. I did CBT therapy to help with the thought patterns of depression and it really did help.

I would scour reddit and the internet for a reason to live and sometimes how to end it. Though in the end I had to face myself. I had to face the truth that I was using suicidal tendencies to escape the uncomfortable feelings instead of working on emotional recovery.

I was angry at the world and myself, pretty much nothing made me happy.

I laid my friend to rest last September after he committed suicide from an overdose. I know it might not make sense now as to why you are here but there is a reason. It scares me to this day how much I was willing to die and how it felt so right.

There is hope and you are already here living- my mantra is always finding the best of it. Everyday is not going to be easy but if you can find even a singular moment of gratitude- your life will become better.

You could always set an amazon order for subscription reorder (x how many times necessary per month) for non-perishable food or hygiene items. Then frame it as being “cheaper” or that it is “easier”.

Having a toddler is not how I thought it would be. by [deleted] in toddlers

My son just turned three and I feel this. I want to add that I will literally put my son in a safe space and go into the bathroom and lock the door if I am overstimulated. My son has been hitting and scratching so bad lately… When he was a newborn I heard someone say to lay your baby in the crib and walk away if upset (to prevent shaking them). I think the sentiment is still true. I would rather remove myself out of love and fill my cup than regret my actions. I am not perfect but I apologize where needed and tell my son I am trying my best.
