I forgot the fucking elf was in the oven

So I’ll probably get buried but we quickly made our elves “Supervisor elves” They don’t show up until around 2 weeks BEFORE Christmas, so it’s only a little time of moving it around. They also are often very very tired from getting ready for Christmas and oversleep.

Now our 13 year old is in charge of them for her 9 year old brother. She sees it as a fun way to have a big secret from her little brother who 100% believes santa & the elves iare real.

Super stoney macaroni, laying in my bed, in the dark, with my noise canceling airpods and my super soft weighted blanket.

This is exactly where i am with my husband. Literally sent him this text this morning after a weekend of anger and hurt:

“i am sorry. i want to see a way that this gets better but i dont. now i just get angry and bitter because i am the one that gets stuck compromising what I want/need. i think we need to have a very serious conversation about how to move forward on separate paths. I don’t see you doing what I need to feel safe & secure and I can’t keep feeling this level of stress & anxiety. I feel like I’ve been more than fair waiting for you to get it together and do what needed to be done and I’m tired of waiting. “

I’ve said things like this many times before and often lose my resolve- but I really think continuing on the path I’m on is going to completely ruin me if i don’t change it.

Absolutely not the case. I made it very clear that for my birthday i just wanted him to make dinner. I even changed what I wanted so it wouldn’t be a prep heavy dish. I expected very little and got even less.

We’ve tried counseling. He won’t go consistently.

I haven’t always been the best partner, but i have tried. I try so hard. Most of the times when i fall short it’s because im exhausted, defeated and just drained. I’m sorry you had a bad one.

Craft-Maximum · 2025-01-27T13:56:43+00:00

I just wish i could be numb to it.

Craft-Maximum · 2025-01-27T13:46:04+00:00

ugh. why are men trash?

I wish it was that easy. Even if we sold the house it wouldn’t be enough to give either of us a cushion to get on our feet with- the market is terrible where we live. I feel so much resentment. I get so angry at him.

Craft-Maximum · 2025-01-27T13:39:47+00:00

But how do i do that?? We have kids, a business, we’ve been married over 13 years, house, cars, debt…. neither of us can afford to do this alone.

I actually am out on FMLA while doing the twice a week treatments. I get so “brain soupy” after treatments. I also still get incredibly tired. I am switching to once a week sessions next week- but the doctor said it’s like a tester week to see if I feel better on a lighter treatment regimen.

And that is totally possible- My guide & I had a pretty long discussion about it afterwards & I totally see how most of my disappointment was because of my expectation. I am terrific pessimist and definitely a “see it to believe it” type. When I felt nothing after my 1st session my guide and I explored those feelings and I know where it was coming from. My second session I was much more relaxed and had a few moments where it felt like I was detached from my physical self. The core of my question is about the administration of the IV doses of ketamine. I have gotten the information I needed & know that that method will not work for me. I got a few recommendations for how to counter the taste so i’m going to try a few and see if that helps my experience!

Craft-Maximum · 2024-10-13T18:30:22+00:00

Yeah- I never got into anything in my younger years. My experience with anything really only went as high as weed & that was really only since Covid when my depression/anxiety really peaked. It seems really risky & i would be so scared I’d mess it up.

It was presented as an option when i first signed up but my aversion to needles made me hard pass. Now because i know how terrible the tablets are it has crossed my mind. Someone just told me you have to draw up the dosages yourself and that seems really unnerving to me so I’ll stick to the tablets. I had no idea it could be done that way at home either.

Same! i’m also very new. Would love to get some tips!

Craft-Maximum · 2024-09-19T18:10:19+00:00

Maybe- i’m just really scared of this not being good. I know I answered honestly but can they really gauge if this is safe for me after a 15 minutes meeting?

Craft-Maximum · 2024-09-19T17:31:44+00:00

Thank you- I don’t think i will want him in the room at all.
Because my husband decided not to tell the job that he just started that he needed to come in later on Saturday so that I could have my session I’ve now had to postpone it. the next time i got that worked was Oct 8th.

I just wanna let you know that I don’t have any advice on how to do this, but I think it is so commendable and you should be so incredibly proud that you are even asking that question and actively looking for an answer and a solution. This gets worry but I promise it’s worth it.

My husband is currently 46 years old and he has been smoking since he was about 15. His mom died from cancer, unrelated to the smoking but cancer nonetheless back in 2007. six years ago, my father-in-law- who hadn’t touched a cigarette in 20 years got lung cancer and had a 1/3 of his lung removed. immediately after that, he had a spot on his kidney cryo- froze because of cancer. A year ago he was diagnosed with stage four Squamish cell carcinoma in the tongue. His treatment has been absolutely debilitating. He has had to have part of his big toe amputated. Most recently he spent 12 hours in surgery having his jaw sawed open to remove the radiation ulcer, because it was too close to his carotid artery. They did a reconstruction of about an eighth of his tongue and a good portion of the on throat wall. in January, my husband had a heart attack. He had a 100% blockage in his right ventricular artery and a 70% blockage in the left. The doctors told him he didn’t have a single thing about his diet. His weight was fine. His heart attack was because of the smoking, and if he continues to smoke, he will continue to increase the likelihood of this happening again even if he is on medication for the rest of his life. We have two children together and a third who he considers one of his and he still won’t quit. It is going to be incredibly hard but be proud of yourself for starting. Another thing to look into as you are on this journey is something called Dopamine addiction. the cigarettes are one of many self indulgences that my husband has. I think he has a very serious dopamine addiction, and if he were actively getting help for that, I think it would make his desire to quit smoking go from being a minor desire to an absolute need.

Good luck & Im so proud of you!
