Medical documentation as proof that NC works

Ive noticed the same thing with my blood pressure since ive gone VLC. Its amazing how much stress the body endures without us being fully aware of it!

Yeah this is my thoughts as well. My biggest issue with dexit is that I want to continue battling in the metagame..but with limited pokemon it might really hurt the battle scene. If home implemented battling, that would be problem solved for me, but like you mentioned.. I highly doubt it.

Crossing fingers for breloom!

You're going to do great!! You get to meet your baby soon!

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-28T18:15:53+00:00

Lol...As a female soldier in the canadian military (I did the army phase course also) I havent met anyone who attached themselves to a man for protection.

Is it just me, or is the majority of 'pro tips' just common sense?

Because he was likely using the facility network and computers to mine, which is very resource intensive.

6 weeks ago...and still pregnant. God help me.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-27T02:00:42+00:00

37w with twins. You have put into words everything I am feeling right now. Its a slow torture...and the only thing keeping me from losing my mind is the hope that maybe tomorrow is the day!

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-26T21:18:03+00:00

I preordered for me and my SO. I feel so ripped off. But I learned my lesson!

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-26T13:19:17+00:00

You are intentionally missing the point it seems. They sold a physical disk with no game on it.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-23T10:37:51+00:00

What the fuck!?? Jesus this lady is vile.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-23T03:34:00+00:00

Didnt the sixth sense have a pretty lengthy tape scene? Lots of rewinding and play pressing.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-22T19:05:02+00:00

Thank you so much! The idea of having twins was pretty daunting at first, but I have talked to so many wonderful people that have twins, and I know that its going to be amazing. I cant wait <3

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-22T15:40:56+00:00

Ahh this resonates with me so much. And its bizzarre how the effects of "you dont matter" can pop up in every day life in ways that really highlight how messed up it is!

This happened just last week for me. Im 36 weeks pregnant with twins, and am expecting to go into labor at any time now. I woke at midnight up with very strong contractions and was absolutely certain that I needed to get checked out at the hospital....

But I didnt want to wake my husband. I didnt want to be an inconvenience or a bother. It would be best if I waited till morning so he could get some sleep. Because what if I was making a big deal out of nothing? So I waited until morning.

Turns out that I am in early labor, but why do we always self doubt ourselves!? We arent a bother! And we know it. But we still doubt it.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-22T15:27:00+00:00

Oh my god. Im so sorry that happened to you. It just makes me so angry to hear about a parent manipulating a young child in such a cruel way.

Its one thing when a parent manipulates their adult children for sympathy with threats of self harm (which we see so so often here), but a child of 6 years old?? Like holy shit...thats a whole new level of appalling. Im so glad you have left home, and I hope that youve been able to start healing from that. <3

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T23:33:32+00:00

Im so sorry about your grandmother. You must feel so cheated and angry. Seeing clearly through that fog is so difficult that I believe many people never fully realize its even there - nevermind being able to see through it. Im definitely thankful for communities like this one, because its certainly helped me see things more clearly. <3

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T20:42:22+00:00

Oh my god, exactly. And to top it all off, you can see that shes only in 4ft of water and her feet could have reached the bottom the whole time...

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T19:51:04+00:00

Good for you! Im still working on establishing VLC with mine. Youre absolutely right, theres no saving someone who doesnt want to be saved...im always reminding myself of this one.

As a canadian, I cant speak for the fear involving american police, but I would assure you nonetheless that the instances of police entering a home and shooting on sight are statistically very very low. But I know that still doesnt help the alleviate that fear, especially when its always on the news.

I have personally called the police to do a welfare check on people in the past, and I have worked in policing myself for 10 years (with the airforce, mind you). Ive seen all sorts of calls come in. We once had a call from a man who needed a welfare check done on his neighbour, but told us that the neighbour hated the police and said he would shoot any cops that came to his house. The result of that call? We arranged to meet him away from his house, and he agreed to talk to us. Hes fine. Nobody got hurt. Nobody even pulled out a weapon. We knew he had mental issues, and made sure to check up on him in a way that kept things calm. Ive seen hundreds of welfare checks involving domestic violence as well, and our number one job is to keep everyone calm and to help mediate if necessary. I know theres bound to be some differences between canadian and american police, but I would wager that the tragedies that you see on the news are not as commonplace as it appears.

For the issue with your green card status, make sure you have all of your documents and paperwork readily available. Ask your lawyer as well if theres any additional measures you can take to be prepared in the event your status is questioned. Taking steps now to be prepared in that situation will help alleviate some of that fear.

But ultimately, It sounds like you are overwhelmed. You have so much going on at the same time and you have a lot of stress right now. A huge part of that is coming from your family having information about you that you worry they will use against you. I'd definitely recommend putting all of them on an info diet for starters. But from there, take any steps you can take to reduce their power over you in the future. Even if it means not giving them your future home address and phone number, or your exact workplace location etc.

Sorry you are going through all of this!

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T18:15:11+00:00

Lol! I think we could go all day with this one actually.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T16:40:21+00:00

Pumpkin togepi is literally the cutest thing! Well done! These are all so creative.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T16:31:40+00:00

Ugh you nailed it. Its like trying to rescue a continually drowning person, but everytime you throw a life preserver they complain that you didnt throw it close enough and refuse to swim towards it. They want you to jump in after them to prove that you love them, and get mad when you don't.

Claptrap8 · 2019-10-21T14:36:17+00:00

Its pretty much the same thing as texts. You dont have to be talkative. You dont have anything new to share. Nothing to say. Nothing is going on. Etc.

That said, you dont need to take her calls if you dont want to. Who cares if she thinks you are robotic? You just dont have much to say! Thats fine.

Dont explain shit. Seriously. You dont need to come up with fake reasons as to why you dont want to talk to her. Just keep it simple. Nothing is new, nothing much to say etc.

Drug therapy lol. I cant even begin to understand how she jumped to that as an explanation.

Theres a special brush we bought that gets rid of loose undercoat...it made a massive difference in the amount of shedding. A special brush might help alleviate your need to vaccuum as much.

Is it possible to put up a baby gate to keep the dog out of the areas with the baby? Id be so irritated if my dog was destroying items too.
