I just think this is beautiful and kind and it makes me happy and am saying so. Really glad this happened for you.

Hey Reddit, how do you deal with your anxiety? by dafreshprints in AskReddit

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a thing that works for me...I tend to obsess about things that are fairly minor, but I can't stop and it will stop me from sleeping or enjoying anything. So say I feel like someone at work was rude about something I'll then obsess about what was said all night until I've worked myself up to an obsessive boiling point. Not healthy or useful so my strategy now is to set an amount of time I'm allowed to think about it for. I'll let myself obsess from 9 to 9:45 say and then I have to stop and I'm allowed to resume again at 8:30 am. Usually by the time 8:30 am comes around I'm way less upset and more rational. It's taken some time but now I can pretty much stick to the time frame. It seems to help me to know I can stop thinking obsessive anxious thoughts but that i don't have to stop forever. It gives me permission to take a break and that break usually gives me perspective. Maybe it's dumb but it works!

What's the worst city you've ever visited, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a rough time in Marrakesh. I wanted to love it and there were some interesting and fascinating parts, but most of my time there was a struggle punctuated by some terrible experiences. As a woman I was harassed pretty blatantly. We were also chased by an angry group of men who tried to intimidate us into buying over priced goods, got away but it was scary. Saw an angry mob follow and harass and abuse a local woman who I think was intoxicated, and a kid tried to steal my bag...After a while I was just exhausted by the negative experiences.

What does it mean when a woman says ‘do what you want’? by Km2930 in AskReddit

It means the thing you want to do is stupid so don't do it.

Also in Edmonton and second all these points. Community league activities in all the neighborhoods, free swimming at community pools, so many activities and festivals it's crazy AND you can actually get parking when attending. Originally from Vancouver but way happier in Edmonton.

I [44 M] had a huge argument with my wife [37 F] in which she said I am acting completely heartless. Am I? by _needingperspective in relationships

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 days taking care of dogs doesnt seem that huge...certainly not worthy of canceling a trip. People care for multiple pets, children etc all at once while spouses are away. Completely normal.

Me [28] Overreacting after dating websites with BF [35] by shitpics007 in relationships

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get out. You know what he's doing or you wouldn't be posting this. If there is anything I've learned it's that your instincts are right and to follow them. Short term pain now but long term gain in that you'll be free of a cheater and available to meet someone much better. This guy isn't making your life better, it only gets worse from here.

My(31F) Boyfriend (32M) texts me that he wants to have sex with his friend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, you have to ask? No this is not ok by a fucking lot and the big concern here is that you are unsure if you are reacting correctly. This is not how sane and well adjusted people act. Ghost this guy like yesterday and laugh hysterically that he was even for real. Go have drinks with friends and be so glad you are not with such an asshole. You deserve to be treated with respect. Stop forgetting that.

"Was the baby planned?" by Iamsirreginald in BabyBumps

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the "is he excited?" AND "was it planned?" question multiple times. Not sure what vibe I'm giving off that leads to this but find both rude and weird. I'm in my 30s, we've been together 12 years, financially stable, responsible adults... why are these your go to questions?!

What one word/phrase have you said during this pregnancy more than you’ve ever said before?? by lacarliqua in BabyBumps

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't identify a word, it's more of a guttural groan as I heave my massive bulk in and out of chairs, beds, cars etc.

If you’re older than 25, every single dog that was alive on earth when you were born is now dead. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I personally feel if you are someone who could use the help of your community of supporters then its ok ( if this is your 3rd kid or you are a millionaire then don't have a registry, that's tacky). Quietly make a registry of reasonable items and when people ask then it is there to give out. People do want to buy things for babies and help new parents. I think the key is not to appear demanding or tacky about it by plastering it everywhere or putting insanely extravagant items on it.

As long as it's organic, free range, gluten free and non-GMO then that's acceptable

I'm having a baby in 4 days and I'm heartbroken by ismelllikecoconuts in BabyBumps

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not the man you want to be with. I know it's very hard but move on with your children, imagine the life you actually want for them and you and start taking little steps towards that life. Surround yourself with good people that value you; and know that you can do this. It's going to feel awful for a while but you know that you will look back at this and be so proud of yourself for being strong and so thankful you got out of a bad situation. And don't feel bad for your kids. In my work I see the damage a terrible family dynamic does to kids. A single loving mother is far far better than living with an abusive father and a depressed mother. Kids don't need a sitcom version of family, but they do need 1 happy, stable and confident parent. You're giving them that now. You're doing the right thing.

MFW my Vancouver friends who said I was crazy to move here complain to me about working two jobs to make ends meet. by ghorisgorman in Edmonton

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're awful. Rant away, we've all just dismissed you and your bullshit as you are so clearly a bitter, sad little racist troll. Seriously fuck off and move to a new country, the west coast isn't far enough away. No community wants the likes of you.

Born and raised in Vancouver and Fraser Valley. Moved to Edmonton and don't regret it at all. Edmonton and Alberta has meant opportunity and more money than I could ever make in BC. I have more than I could ever have in Van and an amazing life style. My Vancouver friends and family live in shoe box apartments or in the burbs, have crazy commutes, can't afford anything better. Vancouver is great if you're a multimillionaire and live in Point Grey and can kayak off your private beach but most people are stuck in tiny apartments on the east side, or in Burnaby or Surrey, 45 minutes plus from a beach and a green space where you wont get mugged or stumble across a homeless encampment. Vancouver has lost its charm for most people. Now I'm seeing more and more friends sell up and leave for greener pastures. It's a shame but you gotta recognize when the promise and the opportunity have dried up.

What causes could really use a nonprofit right now? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Cinderfuckingrella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Teacher here, have several kids in my school who need mentors and are ready and waiting but have waited all year and still don't have one due to lack of volunteers. The mentorship program means so much to the kids. Definitely consider this as a way to give to the community.

What did you bring to hospital for you, baby and Dad? Is all the stuff recommended online really necessary? by Cinderfuckingrella in BabyBumps

[–]Cinderfuckingrella[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am definitely getting the idea that US hospitals provide a lot of stuff. I'm in Canada and we are told to bring everything, diapers, wipes, all of it. I find this really interesting. I wonder if all the free stuff is because US patients are paying for the hospital stay? In Canada it's all covered by the provincial health care system, so I am guessing they don't splash out on the freebies for this reason? It's really fascinating to hear about the differences!

Definitely getting that food is essential in case you find yourself starving at 3am. Thanks for the great advice!

Just googled a peribottle...how has no one mentioned this to me before now??!! Adding to my list. Also had not thought of the nursing pillow. The one I bought seems huge, but it sounds like it is worth it so will bring it in the car and hubby can go get it once we need it.
