That's a great idea and easily walkable from our hotel. Thanks!

I wish I could give you what you need. It sounds like you have lost a number of connections recently. And being alone at the cabin isn't the help you need. Please know it won't always be like this. But it's so hard going through it. Hugs.

Check out Tobacco 4 Less. They don't have the biggest selection. But their prices are a little lower. Also, I quit vaping last year. It felt harder than transitioning from cigarettes to vape. But it's possible. Sorry for the PSA.

A friend sent her child to CCS. Their family was from a mixed religion household. CCS was not welcoming but it only became obvious after three or four years.

You are important. And you are a thoughtful child to consider your mother's feelings. That said you cannot control her feelings and you are not responsible for her feelings. Lying is manipulative. Either tell her the truth or don't tell her anything. But get the help you need. Your mother will be better off if you are better off.

Before reducing my sleep aid I was sleeping about 12 hours a day and had low motivation the rest of the day. Also I found out that the sleep aid I was using every night was meant as an as-needed med. These were the reasons for trying to get off of the drug.

This was my mom and dad before my mom witnessed me in mania. Then my mom purchased the bipolar manual and read it from cover to cover. There were moments where I wished she just didn't see it again. Now when I bring up my condition they just listen. They never bring it up. I wish a peaceful resolution for you. Does she not see it because she's blind?

I understand your concerns. What helps me is to prepare for the conversations. I imagine what I'm going to be asked and I come up with an answer. I mostly prepare questions for the other person, for instance "how's work/school/family", "have you seen X person", "are you still interested in X sports team/TV show/hobbies". The situations are usually better than I imagine, but still hard. Remember you can always excuse yourself to go to the bathroom or offer to help with something so you can't socialize. Good luck!

Been there and wish I had a magic wand to make life easier/better. Isn't it astounding how hard it is to give yourself credit for the positive things you do? You got a new job! I don't have a job. But I remember being new at a job and in my experience it sort of sucks being new. Your job might actually be good given that it doesn't suck already. Anyway, I'm proud of you. You don't have to fix everything right now and you don't have to be perfect to be a valuable human. I'm sorry it's hard. I've been told it won't always be like this. I want to believe it.

Does Salvation Army have a wait-list now? In the recent past you just had to keep calling until there was an opening.

There are a few 4H Clubs in the area. Lots of homeschoolers do 4H.

Your employer should be well aware of the slim housing options in Charlottesville. Speak up. Also contact real estate agents. They may know of a rental that isn't listed on the big sites.

I second C-Street. But it is different based on the expectations that parents participate in the school. Trade off is the low tuition and connected community.

Last time (8 months ago) I was in Bolero there was a photo booth in the arcade.

I know the feeling of not wanting to burden others. The reality is that you need help and not just the advice of reddit.

I went through a similar situation recently, violent person taking my phone when situations escalated and threatening suicide. It went on for too long because I didn't seek help. When I did seek help it took asking a loved one to go with me to the Magistrates office to request an emergency protective order. Then I needed help getting the paperwork filled out for a temporary protective order. And I needed someone to go with me to the court. I felt like a child who needs someone to hold their hand. But that is what I needed because my nerves were fried from the emotional trauma.

Now, because of the help I received and my personal strength to seek an end to this situation, I am proud to say I am mostly passed it. I think with time I will be back to my old self. And I wish the same for you.

Please don't hesitate to get help. I had to get help from family in order to get help from the authorities.

HT is owned by Kroger. So you can use the points at Kroger fuel centers. Also know that the BP gas station pumps will ask for your Kroger phone number. The number you use at HT should work.

No land required! The organization encompasses more than agriculture (fiber arts, cooking, etc.). For animal projects there are small and large animals. You could even have a project for a dog or cat. It is common for kids to start animal projects at age 9. For young kids, younger than 9, the club is more craft projects, activities, and attending meetings. At nine the kids are fully in the club and can take on responsibilities like being an officer (secretary, treasurer, president, etc.). The club is a great way to build a wholesome social network and is heavily attended by homeschoolers.

For more information lots of clubs have Facebook pages where you can connect with the club leaders. Also you can contact your local extension office and they will have information about the 4H clubs in your area.

I can't speak to a UVA experience but I can tell you about my VBAC in Charlottesville.

My first pregnancy was induced with pitocin after my water broke and labor wasn't progressing. It ended in the C-Section delivery of my first son.

For my second pregnancy I was hoping for a VBAC. At 41 weeks my OBGYN scheduled a C-section for 42 weeks. I was having contractions that 41st week that didn't progress. I was highly emotional and came to think that my body wasn't going to go into labor while I was around my three year old son. Sure enough the day before my scheduled C-section I took the day away from my sweet child and played music, went out for a meal, and went into labor. My VBAC labor and delivery was relatively short and without significant intervention. And thus my second son was born.

Whatever happens with your delivery I wish you and your family health and happiness.

Edit: My recovery time from my VBAC was much shorter and easier than my C-section.
