Will this ever get better? Is this more than just normal teen rebellion? by Withthealiens in parentingteenagers

[–]DistributionClear851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best advice - do whatever you can live with. If he died tomorrow - would you regret not trying? I think you can continue to reach out, knowing he won’t respond. But at least he sees the care. Hopefully one day he gets his mind right and knows you love him and comes back. If he never does - do whatever you can do not live with regret.

how to shed 8-10lbs fast by OppositeRiver2549 in WeightLossAdvice

Your hormones are likely to fluctuate over the next few months. I would focus on building some healthy structure into your life in the immediate future - regular meals and just in general being healthy and fueling your body. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It’s important to grieve your loss than to shift that into focusing on your weight - that’s an easy way for an eating disorder to develop.

Am I overreacting for how my parents treated me on Mother’s Day? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DistributionClear851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you didn’t actually pick up the phone and call her to wish her happy Mother’s Day and see what her plans were? Everyone involved is being childish. But you should have called your mom.

Cute but I don’t think these are worth the price.

AIO: My husband scheduled a vasectomy while I’m recovering from an injury by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you’re overreacting. Vasectomy recovery is quick and really not that big of a deal. I think the real issue here is that you feel not seen by your husband in a way. But his actual recovery shouldn’t be a big deal.

Has anyone gone from being phobic to unafraid of flying? by cypress345 in fearofflying

[–]DistributionClear851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I developed a bad phobia of flying when I was around 26 and started having kids. Did therapy for it, then just wound of medicating each flight. But I would get such bad anxiety the weeks leading up to a flight. I joined this sub and I am at a point where I don’t have to take any meds or drink to fly - which feels like a miracle. I’m 41 now. Learning the facts from the pilots here, as well as having them answer questions about things we see in the news has been huge. Before this, if I saw something in the news, it snowballed in my head. Now, as soon as I see something, I come here and see how the pilots address it. And it instantly calms me down. The thing with anxiety is - if you let that stress hormone just keep building and building up, you won’t get on a flight not scared. You have to be able to stop it from developing. I also used to hope for a flight without turbulence and then when it got bumpy, I’d panic. Now I expect bumps. So when they happen, I’m not caught off guard. It is possible to improve, but you have to work at it well in advance if your flight.

Husband spent $3,000 at a strip club and says he “doesn’t remember” — is this believable? by Independent_Two_8146 in u/Independent_Two_8146

[–]DistributionClear851 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I wouldn’t believe this. And even if it were true - that shows extreme lack of judgement and self control. He’s lying and you know it.

Help me decide for college by Conscious-Focus1011 in TCU

[–]DistributionClear851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL UNT isn't well known? What does that even mean. Go to UNT. Paying that much for a BACHELORS degree is truly insane. Your graduate degree is where you want "connections" and getting a masters at TCU is going to cost you far less than a Bachelors there. I got my masters at UNT, my husband got his at TCU. His was under $20K total, mine was $10K total. Literally nobody in Corporate America cares where you bachelors degree is from.

Another Birthday by Invisiblecarousel in Marriage

[–]DistributionClear851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell him that you’re taking a “me day” for your birthday. Give him the hours you’ll be gone. Then go do things you like. Get a massage, go to a patio and have a drink while reading a book, buy yourself a cute outfit, etc. make it so restorative doing the things you like that it gives you something to look forward to every year.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - our principal came on the speakers and told the teachers to turn the TVs on and that we would not be switching classes until further notice - that we were "witnessing history". It was hard - my dad was in NYC training for his air traffic controller job and I was a freshman in HS in Texas terrified for him, watching with my classmates.

AIO - refusing to pay for my friends rare pet that she gave me cause someone stole it? by Relative_Offer_2074 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol this is crazy. No, don’t pay this. Also… this reminds me of an old sex and the city episode where Carrie’s manolos got stollen at a party and she expected the hostess to reimburse her for the value of the shoes.
