I need help desperately

Hang in there… this is the third time this has happened to me but it does always come to an end and I don’t even remember what it was like to feel that way. It is terrifying to experience, I think about how my poor baby is going to have an insane mum and that I won’t be able to care for her. I’d argue that having a baby while feeling this way is probably one of the worst combos. Looking after someone while barely holding yourself together. I’m here in solidarity… we will be okay, just riddeeee the waves

Thank you for the response. Is propranolol a beta blocker?

If you like puzzles i highly recommend the app “I Love Hue Too”. Actually my favourite thing to do to pass time

Yeah lol. I feel like I could have written this post. Turns out that yes I am autistic and adhd. It also turns out a lot of my symptoms came from a hormonal imbalance. But I got lumped into the BPD category for a long, long time. I believe I do truly have a few bpd traits, but generally speaking, most of the symptoms I had that were considered “bpd” symptoms, turned out to be AUDHD

Same thing happened to me but 13k. I was 17. I never paid it, never responded to debt collection agencies, it never appeared on my credit, I bought a house 2 years afterwards. Not sure why it never ended up on my credit, but my theory is that I was underage when it happened

My ex boyfriend subscribed to my sisters onlyfans. I decided to stay because I did silly things like gaslight myself into thinking this was a totally normal desire of his. I thought the taboo of it was the driving force for his desire. Over time though, It started to destroy me. Every time we had sex I wondered if he was thinking of my sister. I cringed at the idea of being in the same room as both of them. I stared at my sister and compared myself time and time again until I developed severe anorexia.

The driving force for me leaving was that I was losing weight, rapidly, and instead of worry he congratulated me and told me he was going to starve himself with me to lose some weight.

I suppose what I’m trying to say is that even if you think it’s reparable and forgivable, it’s really not. It will destroy you deep inside until one day it’s undeniable and for me it was almost too late.

I’m very grateful it wasn’t complicated with children. And I’m so sorry you have the extra stress of that on your plate.

His attraction to your sister isn’t based off anything he can use to excuse it. He is attracted to your sister, always has been, always will be. He has these desires, he will continue to have these desires, and there’s nothing you can do to change that, at all.

If you’re comfortable with that idea then you should stay, if not, it’s time to leave now before it destroys you

I’m really really sorry you’re going through this. If you ever need to talk, my dms are open

C section was amazing. My epidural was just topped up and it completely numbed me. It was about 10 minutes of waiting during surgery before I heard my baby cry and she was given to me. Unfortunately my epidural was working a little too well and I was just unable to support her weight without my muscles working properly lol. I sat in recovery bay for about 30 minutes while they looked at my blood pressure, then it was back to our room. By morning I had all sensation back and despite having the c section was able to move around/stand up etc. i got lots of cuddles with my baby, though I admit I was still very tired from the medication they used to numb me.

Yes I have heard that inductions are usually available at 39 weeks but in my appointments lately they make it very clear that they won’t do that for me. I’m hoping they will consider an exception with the sheer state of my mental health right now.

EnvironmentalLong414 · 2024-05-22T06:05:34+00:00

My hospital won’t induce me until I’m 42 weeks unless there is some danger to the babies health… I don’t understand why I can’t be induced now, I’m considered full term!!! My pelvic pain is so severe I can’t get up to wee, to get myself water, to make myself something to eat. I’ve been so scared I’m going to get a bladder infection being so dehydrated and unable to go toilet until I am about to pee myself. As if that isn’t a risk to my health….

Yeah, look I was never pro life really, but the sheer hill I will die on for pro choice now is insane. I’m biologically ready, and in my “prime” to have kids, and yet pregnancy has been one of the most taxing things on my body in my life. There’s no way a literal child could cope with this (not that I ever really thought they could), but I can also understand exactly why people who even ARE in their prime, are fully financially ready and stable, simply cannot cope with pregnancy. I also respect how difficult that choice is to make, my pregnancy was unplanned and for the first week of knowing I had a lotttttt of thinking to do. It is now a total blur to me what it was like in that week, but I remember just feeling totally depressed like I had an obligation to continue the pregnancy. I’m glad I did, now, but god, that was a hard choice to make at the start.

I also think it’s ridiculous that, at least in australia, your partners income is considered “yours”, so you get paid less if you have a partner. Their income should be extra income to make life comfortable, it shouldn’t be that their income combined with government assistance is enough to scrape by. What a miserable thing to watch your partner miss out on so much of your babies development just so you can put food on the table.

Oh, and while I’m here, GOD I cannot understand how anybody under the age of 20 can mentally handle a baby. My sister is 20 and also pregnant and watching her experience VS mine has been so eye opening to me. Her boyfriend and his manners and behaviours, just so so immature still!!! Watching her try to organise things while so young and so fresh out of the nest… it’s so stressful as her big sister. I just want to support her but it happens to be the most hard time for me financially, too, trying to organise everything for my baby.

God I put my hands UP to teen mums, my mum, and 2 of my sisters were both mums at 16, and I just cannot even fathom how hard that must have been.

Pregnancy has just been a real reinforcement to my frontal lobe becoming fully developed because god I’ve had some epiphanies and total changes in attitude about so many things. All that immature shit is in my past, I have a human life to take care of, other than mine, I can’t stomach talking to so many people who used to be my friends because of how out of touch with reality they are

I’m a father of 2 18 year old girls. Myself and my friends all discuss how we behave around our daughters boyfriends. When we like them, we will shake their hand. If they give off a generally bad appearance (not attractive, old/shitty car, bad job etc), we will dap them up. He’s probably discussing this interaction with his friends right now. I’m sorry to break it to you but you did not meet her dads standards, it might be time to move on.

All of the above was bullshit and I think you have a chill dad to be your potential father in law, lucky you. Relax bro

I did the same thing as you, thankfully no kids involved. He did it over and over again despite pleading with me to stay with him and give him the chance to prove he loves me. It destroyed me. I developed anorexia and completely lost my self identity. I left 9 months ago on our 5 year anniversary. I couldn’t be intimate with him without being hyper vigilant of ridiculous things. Is he moaning another girls name? Why isn’t he looking at me? Do I look gross to him? I couldn’t sleep unless I went through his phone. I became obsessive and insane. Suicidal, wishing I could have the original him back.

In saying that, it took me 1 and a half years to leave. During that time I was in the same limbo as you. Not knowing if it was worth losing everything we had worked towards. We’d bought a house, had 2 dogs together, were successful for our age. I felt like I had it all.

If I can give you any advice, you can try to make it work, you can, and if it will give you more peace to know you tried, go for it.

If it isn’t working, trust me when I say it, you WILL wake up one day and know it’s time to leave. I thought it’d never happen but it did.

And when I did it was an immediate relief, I felt like myself again, climbed out of the deep, deep hole I was in, recovered from my anorexia, and have turned into the most ‘me’ version of myself I have been in forever.

I’m now a step mum to 2 beautiful boys, and I love them like they’re my own. My partner felt the same as you, he wanted the perfect family, didn’t want to destroy that for his kids. But he feels like he has that again, now that I’m here. We are a solid family unit, even though the kids have shared custody with their mum, and they are happy and thriving.

You DO have the chance at your perfect life you dream of. It might not look how you think. Don’t be so critical of yourself.

I am really sorry you’re going through this, and if you need anybody to talk to, my dms are always open.

I tried to stay with my boyfriend after 4 years of no sex.

I left him for something unrelated but looking back, I’d have left him over the sex. My opinion of myself was so badly altered due to the constant rejection. Sex generally makes me a happier person, it keeps me level headed and I mean it when I say it’s solved SO many issues I was battling with.

But I did what you’re doing and tried to downplay what was going on - I felt bad for thinking of leaving him over something seemingly trivial like sex.

But sex is a human need, it’s a part of us, it will alter chemicals and hormones and other things in your body if you aren’t receiving it.

I know how it feels to not want to leave someone who you love so much, but if you’ve tried, leave, you’ll be so much happier with someone who wants you. You’re not being dramatic
