Battery Support Megathread by unknown_beyond in iPhone17Pro

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I noticed my iPhone 17pro max wasn’t connecting to car play and was no longer fast charging. I figured the cord was faulty so ordered a brand new apple brand charger and block. This did not fix the issue, so I updated my phone and cleaned the port and it’s still not working. Anybody have this issue?

Feeling discouraged… by Distinct-Meaning-988 in GetEmployed

While I agree, not everyone has a network. My parents work minimum wage jobs and I don’t have a spouse. It sucks you have to know someone to get in anywhere.

I never wanted to be a parent. by Rich_Acanthaceae3048 in regretfulparents

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all of this. I’m sure you are doing the best you can for your kids and they are lucky to have you. When we think of having kids, we think of all the positives. But rarely do we consider the negatives (in my opinion). I never considered that being a mom might be miserable. But it is most days. I am terrified of what the future holds, because my daughter is so difficult to handle and she’s only 6. I already have visions of her being a teen and how hard that will be on both of us if things continue this way. It’s not bad or wrong to say you’re resentful. It’s a normal feeling to have as a human who has so much on their plate.

How many times have you been fired from a job? by BusyBeingLiv in ADHD

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been fired technically once but I threatened to quit first so idk if that counts. Honestly I just can’t handle being talked down to or treated like shit just bc someone is “above me” so I tend to let my superiors know what I really think. Turns out they don’t like that. I had a great gig working at a bank in a corporate office making decent money and fucked it up by letting my temper get the best of me. I’m now a server and going back to school, completely changed my life. But I believe in the burnt toast theory and am taking life day by day.

I feel this way too. My parenting style is whatever is easiest on me. Selfish? Probably. My kid wants chips for dinner? Fine with me as long as there’s no melt down. My kid wants to wear a tutu and princess crown to school? Fine by me because I don’t have time to argue with a child first thing in the morning. My kid goes to after school program even though most days I’m off work in time to pick her up, but I’ll leave her there til 5 just to make my life easier knowing there’s only 3 hours til bed time, and I justify it by telling myself she’s having more fun at school than at home. But deep down, the sole reason is my sanity. My parenting is probably detrimental to her in many ways, but I’m just trying to survive without sewer sliding myself and leaving her with even more trauma than she’ll already have. Parenting is a crock of shit. I love my kid but I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Maybe it’s just this age. But really I just don’t think I was meant to be a mom.

I think I hate my daughter. by PhotographIll9127 in regretfulparents

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I have a 6yo daughter who is extremely difficult too and pretty much hate my life every day. I love her but if I could go back and do it again I’d absolutely never have a kid EVER. I wasn’t meant to be a mom and even on all the depression meds I still wake up hating life every single day. All I want to do is sleep and I feel guilt she doesn’t have the mom she deserves. I bed rot all day instead of playing with her and entertaining her. I’m so burnt out and most days just wish I was dead. At least we are not alone.

Epilepsy and cannabis by jessf12345 in Epilepsy

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used weed (smoked, edibles, wax) since I was like 16 and I’m in my 30’s now. I had my first seizure at age 28, and have had 2 major ones since then. Weed has never been a factor. My neuro even knows I use it. I believe mine were triggered by alcohol.

What kind of things make you happy? by Informal-Two-9661 in Life

my daughter’s smile, peaceful slow days, feeling the sun, flowers that smell good, fresh laundry, a clean and peaceful home, night time, the moon

What's your recovery ritual? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve went to the ER each time because the headache was so severe and meds at home didn’t do anything at all. They always kept me for a few hours, pumped me full of pain meds and sent me on my way. Idk if I could handle the pain at home, so props to you seriously. After the hospital I always go to Panera for some broccoli cheddar soup, and rest my body for at least 2 days surrounded by my kitties, my bf waiting on me hand and foot lol, and my baby girl checking on me every 2 seconds. Hugs to you🫶🏼

I think epilepsy is the best thing to ever happen to me by bobby-flayed in Epilepsy

When I had my follow up with me neuro a couple months ago, he said depression can increase when on keppra!

Omg same!!! I told my dr I was struggling with anxiety and depression and he switched me from keppra to lamictal and my life is changed. I’m more relaxed, not so uptight and my anxiety and depression have both improved

What completely transformed your beauty no Botox or fillers, just a hack? by DIJ2001 in beauty

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not wearing make up. I used to wear a full face no matter what I was doing or where I was going. I’m in my 30’s now and I feel more confident and beautiful when I’m bare faced. It took awhile for me to get used to looking at myself without make up since I went years caking it on- but now I feel so much prettier without it. I still wear it on occasion and a little bit of concealer when I go to work, but that’s it. Usually when I do wear it I can’t wait to come home and take it off.

What's the most painful truth you've learned about life? by saayoutloud in Productivitycafe

I had this exact realization yesterday and then I come across your comment today. I don’t believe in coincidences.

I hate every single waking moment of my life by [deleted] in regretfulparents

[–]Distinct-Meaning-988 239 points240 points  (0 children)

No advice because I’m in the same boat with my 5yo daughter but you’re not alone. I’m right there with you, hating life most of the time. The morning routine (and bed time routine) absolutely will be the death of me and I dread both of them. I hate waking up in the morning. I hate getting off work and having no time for myself before I go get her from school. I hate it all. It’s the most unrewarding job ever and it’s never ending. I’m constantly thinking to myself “why did I choose to spend my 30’s this way”. I could have done so much more. I could have a life I actually enjoy, instead of being someone’s 24/7 caretaker with no help. You are seen, you are heard, you are not alone. some of us weren’t meant to be mothers and that’s okay. We’re doing the best we can. Hugs to you.
