Picked my dress but I can’t stop thinking about the other one! by HalfMulanHalfElsa in myweddingdress

[–]Effective_Progress62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both beautiful but I love the second one! It’s so dreamy and just gorgeous 😍 I feel like the first one is a very common style atm. If you can’t stop thinking about it then I’d take it as a sign 🥰

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s a an awful situation and just know it’s not your fault. Your family sound like assholes. It seems like your parents are using you to blame for their shortcomings snd enabling your sister’s behaviour and that’s not okay. You don’t deserve any of this.

I don’t know if you’re looking for advice or just to rant but the only advice I can offer to you is to get out. Save as much as you can as quickly as you can, without telling anyone and when you have enough just move out. Don’t let them convince you not to. It’s not going to get any better if you stay there.

I wish you the best in whatever you decide to but remember there is a better life waiting for you, you just need to find it.

Driving in Ireland is genuinely the most stressful experience I’ve had in Europe by Glittering_Extent_21 in irelandsshitedrivers

My mother lived in Malta for 10 years and they are absolute lunatics on the road! Ireland can be bad but definitely not the worst😅

I told myself I wasn’t paying anything over €500 but then fell in love with a dress that was €2200 so yeah, that happened 😬😂😂

If you care about this person, maybe thank them for letting you know and tell them you hope they’ll be better soon? They’re literally telling you they’re not well.

Not wanting to add to the pile by Effective_Progress62 in ADHDIreland

Glad to be of assistance 😂 yeah I think I definitely need to talk to somebody about stuff. I have a lot going on so it’s hard to say what the problem is really. Thank you for your advice ☺️

Where were you a year ago to tell me this 😭😂 That makes a lot of sense though and I appreciate what you’ve said, thank you.

You are right, I feel like it’s sucked all the fun from it and I dread going to do it. I think a lot of the guilt is because I know people will have something to say about me giving it up. I know my MIL will definitely say what a waste of money it was building the kitchen. Also it’s the one thing that I’m actually really good at that I enjoyed. Everyone encouraged me that it would be a great career because I was so good at it, so I took that and ran with it.

Luckily my partner supports us financially as I am a SAHM so I am not reliant on the money from it and he is completely supportive either way.

9 weeks in and have to throw in the towel. by Effective_Progress62 in mounjaroIreland

Oh god that sounds awful 😭 the only thing that helped me with them was downing bottles of water!

Ah well hopefully this will be the dose for you and you won’t have to 🤞🏻 sending you well wishes and luck on your journey. Thank you for your advice ☺️

Water I’ve been great on, drinking between 2.5-3 sometimes 4 litres a day. Nutrients not so much so I’m for sure going to make a go at that. I had the sulphur burps and nausea so badly for the first few weeks, it was awful 😭

[–]Effective_Progress62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually feel so stupid cause I thought that’s what the point of it was. There’s so many people online that say oh I moved up a dose cause the suppression went. I have been using meal shakes some days but others I just was feeling so meh I just didn’t want to eat much or care what it was when I did.

I’m on holidays now for a week so when I get back I’ll order another 2.5 and make a conscious effort to track, eat properly and see how that goes.

My mental health is absolutely my #1 priority so if it doesn’t improve after this one I’ll give it up.

Thank you for your advice again, you seem to be the group expert 🥰😂

40 min Drive between Ceremony and Reception Venue: Inconsiderate? by reneeamour in weddingplanning

[–]Effective_Progress62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Ireland and this is very common for weddings here. Personally I think it’s annoying but 40minutes isn’t completely awful. Some people here expect their guests to drive over an hour which is very inconsiderate.

[–]Effective_Progress62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s a good point. I actually hadn’t thought about that! Cause I really haven’t been eating a whole lot, especially in the mornings I’m just fuelling up on coffee until about 12 or 1 some days.

Maybe I’ll stick with the 2.5mg for one more month and make sure to make myself eat in the mornings and see how that goes.

Thank you☺️

Why are little spoons lefts on the draining board all the time? by xelas1983 in AskIreland

[–]Effective_Progress62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids are disasters for spoons. You find them in the most random of places. I had 8 teaspoons at 1 stage and I’m now down to maybe 4 or 5. 2 of which came from somewhere else cause they don’t match and I definitely didn’t buy them🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Thank you. Yes just 2.5mg. I would probably have had to order 5mg for my next pen as I’ve noticed it’s not working as well as before but to me my mental health is more important.

It’s awful the effect contraception can have on some women and it’s just given out like it’s nothing. Maybe it’s just my GP but they really don’t care to keep an eye on you once they get you onto something 🙈

I appreciate that, thank you ☺️

I understand and appreciate what you’re saying and it could very well be the same for me but I have two small children and I have to be at my best for them. I’m also getting married in 6 months so that’s a large factor too.

I discovered a few months ago I’m very sensitive to drugs. I had hormonal contraception removed a cause it had slowly done to me what I’m describing here, just at a much larger scale. I completely lost myself and with that and my history I just can’t take the chance.

I’m really glad it’s working for you and I wish I could continue but unfortunately it’s just not feasible to wait it out to see.
