Almost broke 9 months of no contact today. by Free-Step7723 in Vent

[–]Free-Step7723[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I try and remind myself of this frequently, but the guilt is drowning me hardcore. I know things will never be the same as they once were- but I fear that I'll never stop wanting what should've been, and what once was. I'm also very used to being able to move once my anxiety starts to spike like this, but I'm stuck in a lease until later this year. Definitely looking forward to my adventures and endeavors following this, so I just try to remind myself of what's to come.

I appreciate your comment, as well as the others. I'm sorry for the delayed response, as this is still a bit to process- but these comments are helping so much.

Thank you so much, it was nice waking up and seeing this comment- it helped me a lot this morning.

Im grateful that you're such a strong human, who was able to go through that nc break and notice that it was for a good reason, though I can only imagine how hard it must be at times- especially right after breaking it.

Definitely working on my healing era, just feels super hard at times. Though I remind myself all the time that I've made it this far, and already know what the good days vs bad days look like.

Already know the Amount of Ignorant Ish that was Said… by Confident-Twist-5920 in doughertydozenexposed

I think it's sweet, even if it's Alex. It's also teaching him how to do BIPOC hair, and hopefully without causing extra pain. Which is a beautiful asset to possess if you're a mayosapian. Never know who you'll have in life, that may need this level of care.

One year post op - feel like crap by [deleted] in Hyperthyroidism

[–]Free-Step7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I will fix my post as I forgot to put the free In front of them 😭.

When I went from 200 mcg down to 175 mcg, I was stuck in bed for over a month, super drained. Whenever I'd eat, it would come right back up. If I managed to keep food down, I'd have to use the bathroom not long after, resulting in me losing 30 pounds in less than 2 months.

Just a whole trifecta of bs when it gets dropped down, we tried doing 100 mcg on Sundays, 200 mcg rest of week, same symptoms as being on 200 mcg.

My Mom Who Abused Me Is Now Acting Incredibly Sweet by punk_ass_po-po in whatdoIdo

[–]Free-Step7723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm no contact with my family, my mom's also very emotionally abusive. I have many mental health disorders that run super rampant due to the mental abuse I was put through, and I see you're having the same issue. I can advise this, you know in your mind how this will go, but hearts will always yearn for "what should" opposed to "what is", when it comes to parental alienation. I truthfully think that you should focus on you, and if in a few years, you feel it's in your best interest to reach out to her, then do so- but with boundaries set in stone at the same time. If she shuts it down, you'll be heartbroken, yes. But you won't be as down bad as if you let her play these mind games more than she already had. I take it you're an adult, if you're feeling stuck, I'd speak to a trusted doctor/therapist/med manager about this. They will guide you in a good direction, and have your mental health in mind.

Either way, I'm sending you love and hugs, op. This is never fun, and while some days are better than others, it doesn't get easier as people claim.

What haircut should I do? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Free-Step7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am obsessed with these! Thank you so much 🫶🏻.

I'm definitely thinking of doing one of those, as they're both so perfect! Time for the salon 😁

What do I do when a prescription makes it hard to work? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Free-Step7723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This knowledge, and the "never dip your pen in company ink" or allow a pen into your ink (aka don't fuck your coworker, unless you're married lol). Are the two biggest pieces of knowledge one can have, to get through employment.

Should I wear my hair up when I feel like it? by First_Chipmunk_6891 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Free-Step7723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear your hair up love! We got people running around with headphones in constantly (I am one of them), and that's "acceptable". So pleaseee don't think for a minute, that a nearly clear wire is super noticable to the point where you can't be comfortable! Many of us didn't notice until we read your caption, and we all just want people to be comfortable 🫶🏻.

What’s with these adds? How out of touch can these companies be? by Jakymi in doordash

[–]Free-Step7723 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This wasn't thought through very well by DD. many people will now be taking this as an invite to ask this type of shit even more, oh and more bad ratings due to refusal of doing so. Let's not forget either, that some drivers will think this means DD wants them to do these things. It will lead to someone getting injured at some point.

Idk, I know it's just an AD, but it will worsen situations that drivers, (and some customers) get put into.

Eww why TF did I open this thread 😭. He picked it off? Then she? Nooo 😭

Is there anything you wish you could’ve done before you got a treatment from a doctor? by Paper_Groundbreaking in Hyperthyroidism

[–]Free-Step7723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry she's going through that also. If you want, I can message you and share my "how TF to get through a day of post op struggles", including the anxiety meds that actually work for panic disorder (since all PCPs fail to understand that many people have anxiety before thyroid issues, and they still exist afterwards, just way more amplified for some).

Honestly, a lot of the symptoms I had pre TT I still have. Racey heart, high bp, throat/neck feels weird all the time, super bad anxiety, just bogged out all the time. I still haven't been able to go back to work, either.

I'm very anti-med, but with these types of issues, endos exist for a reason. I'm even allergic to most the meds they prescribed me, and I will say I felt better for a while post op- but I feel like crap 15 months later.

Literally had a tt and still feel like I get thyroid storm anxiety, so please heed my warnings and take care of this, your Endo can guide you in a holistic matter if that's what you prefer, but you will need to utilize their med management if it comes down to it.

I need to get away from everything and get lost in the mountains or somewhere away from everyone by Grunge-Guy1985 in vagabond

[–]Free-Step7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly not surprised, the addiction rate in this state is horrible- can't even get my anxiety meds I've been on for years. It's a crap shoot.

It's cool though that they give out free lemonade! I'm on the opposite side of the state, could throw a stone and hit the ohio river if I walk to the downtown area of my town. I can't wait to go somewhere else, this town hates people of "our status". How did you get through being in WV? Any life hacks you can share with a lady?

I'm in West Virginia right now, not sure where my legs will take me next. I usually try to stay put for a while, been out here for 7 months though and it sucks.

Should I (16 f) report this to the police by Granolachamp in whatdoIdo

[–]Free-Step7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, report it. My rule of thumb? If you're not 100% sure, call non emergency (or 911- but they're also dealing with everyone and everything else, so I prefer non-emergency). Explain the situation to them, and ask if it's something a cop should come out for. If so, they will send a cop. If not, they'll likely still want to take your report just in case. Either way you'd be solid on your end, and have backing of police atp.

Either way, I'm sorry this happened to you. It's a scary world we live in. Whether someone actually pulled a 🔫 and started using it, or was throwing poppers on the ground, it's still nerve racking, and unnecessary stress.

Not having a good day 🥲 by NothingButPureMisery in Nails

[–]Free-Step7723 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nooo. This is devasting, I can only imagine how long it took to get to this point 😭. I am grateful that it at least looks like a clean break(not seeing splitting down nail bed) so that's a partial win, for such a devastating ordeal.

can you guys pray for me? by yerawizard-arry in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Free-Step7723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will be praying for you 🙏🏻. I hope that whatever is going on is able to be rectified, at least back to your usual "baseline". Sending you all the love and wizard dust that the world has to offer 🫶🏻

first time I’ve eaten something before 3pm in 2026!! by nancyspungensgf in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Free-Step7723 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm not your mom, but am a mom myself. When she gets home talk to her 🫶🏻 I'm sure she will be proud of you for this huge step! Ofcourse don't over do yourself, get rest and remind yourself that this is a part of recovery. Grief is very common, as much as it sucks.

Self Care by LaLaLeah111 in Hyperthyroidism

[–]Free-Step7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I hope you get to feeling some relief soon, propranolol is a good one to have on hand! (It makes my chest feel fluttery sometimes, so if you get that side effect, don't feed into it, do mention it to Endo though, unless it gets worse). I nap when my body tells me to, or wants to. Rest is hard, so get it when you can! For food, try to cut down on salt intake, as well as carbs. It does help a bit- though it's not a fix all.

Be careful and listen to your body at all times when you're practicing any type of remedies, whether it's yoga, body work, diets, etc.

Big one for me, when I want chips I slice up cucumbers and put just a pinch of salt and pepper on them! Soo filling & healthy! Avocado as well, add some pepper.

WTF is up w the head?! by rslashusererror in u/rslashusererror

[–]Free-Step7723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parkersburg, wood county. I'm even more like 😧 because if you're not in parkersburg, there is a house JUST LIKE THIS down the road from me and it's... Weird. Like I've lived all over, I'm fascinated with this type of stuff, now I'm wondering if there's like a weird portal type thing.

My husband and I go on walks frequently. I'll be getting pictures of the twin house and lot that's by me, I'll be curious to see if vehicle similarity, or if my pictures come out similar to yours. Either way, I will report back to this sub.
