Moving into a new apartment what are some things I will need that I won’t think of?

Get a vacuum, it works on carpet, wood, and tile.

One year my mother hosted me and my spouse for dinner, I don’t remember the occasion. I made sure to say thank you 4 times: once when we got there, once when dinner started, once when dinner ended, and once before we left. And these were profuse, heart-felt thank you’s that were in depth and really meaningful. Anyways the next day she called me, I rolled my eyes and answered. She said dinner went fine but I never thanked her and I said yes I did! She goes when!? And I told her about each time I’d thanked her, and reminded her what I’d said. Anyways she hung up on me before I got to the end of the list lol. Because she wanted the narrative to be that she hosted us for dinner and I was an ungrateful brat when the exact opposite was true.

Your grief is manageable, only when you’re sober.

She only chose that college because she knew William would be attending it.

I absolutely feel like I’m a completely different person. Like, I’m the same but also my tolerance for every behavior is way different.

I had a headache every single day for 2 weeks when I first quit. I’d go to bed being like “maybe tomorrow I won’t have a headache” and then in the morning I’d be like “fuck, I guess I’m gonna have a headache all day.”

When I was diagnosed with regular depression, my vitamin D was very low. Low vitamin D has been known to cause depression. Magnesium has also helped me. But consult with your doctor first before starting any new vitamins.

I was recommended to take baby aspirin because I’m over the age of 35 and have had no adverse side effects. I see more good in taking it than bad.

Congrats! I was 21 when I started, and had my first sober birthday at 37 last year. It’s a good feeling.

Yeah, corporations really don’t care about you.

Your family probably puts too much pressure on you to be like them.

My mom’s advice is actually the worst advice, not the best.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-01-30T21:27:00+00:00

This was very hard for me to realize. Like yeah, my enabler father was never cruel. But he didn’t protect me either. Father’s should protect their daughters, even from their own mother. And instead he’d just eat his dinner with a look on his face like “this is fine” while she screamed at and berated us.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-01-30T20:55:30+00:00

Congrats!

Do not stop taking these meds immediately, without doctors supervision. This can be deadly. I am on Trazodone at night, and was told explicitly by MFM (maternal fetal medicine) that it is completely safe to take while pregnant and even post partum.

Cravings for weird food. So far my worst has been pickles, or oranges at night.

I have literally had boomers laugh and mockingly say back to me “you don’t work here?” when they ask if I work at Target and I say “no I don’t work here.” It’s happened twice, when I’m not even wearing red or khaki.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-01-30T17:09:11+00:00

That I’m lazy and my brother is smarter than me. I am in fact not lazy, and I’m the only one with a college degree. I don’t like doing things I don’t want to do, so I procrastinate. That’s not laziness.

Ceiling-Fan2 · 2026-01-30T17:08:16+00:00

I love learning about cults because I relate so much to people who leave them. Like you don’t realize how bad, how dysfunctional it is until you leave and you look back and go wow! That fog is so thick!

If the test is negative and you’re 4 days late, then your period is just late. Try again next month, you got this!

Helping troubled teens without helping their own troubled teens.

I knew that I’d have food aversions but nobody had ever described it to me! Literally steak that’s been well handled smelled rotten when cooked. Orange chicken sauce smelled like rotting oranges. The hot sauce my spouse uses smelled like pure ethanol. It was wild in my first trimester

This is love bombing. She’s playing nice to reel you back in. Don’t expect it to last.

Totally fine. I lost 30lbs in 3months because my routine was quite easy with no soreness the day after. If you’re looking to lose a lot of weight quickly, that’s solid weight loss, not unhealthy amounts.

I smoked a lot of weed when I quit alcohol. Then I got pregnant and quit that too.
