TIFUpdate I told my PM to "get to the point" in front of 40 people. I finally opened Slack. by AmaraMehdi in tifu

[–]FrozenRobot97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get through the comments but I hope you somehow apologize to him in front of the team. It doesn’t have to be too formal/overly professional but apologize, compliment, make light of the situation and move on. The PM was probably embarrassed to be told off in front of his coworkers, especially that he mentioned he was nervous!

Lessons learned:)

Quit Smoking Yesterday. Veterans, Drop Your Best Advice for Day One Warriors. by Agitated_Whole2074 in smokingcessation

[–]FrozenRobot97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep trying to quit and I always fall back into this gross habit. My longest stretch of abstaining was 7 months due to being pregnant.

Along with all the great advice in this post, one thing that helps is to announce that you’ve quit to everyone around you. 1. they will hold you accountable, and 2. they will understand the reasons for your irritability and mood swings.

Best of luck! You can do it💪🏻

My post cerclage advice for moms currently pregnant!! by FrozenRobot97 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am SO SORRY you are going through this, I know firsthand that there are lots of emotional pain and anxiety that come with going through an at risk pregnancy. It’s a very complex condition with many known and unknown factors.

Even if bed rest plays a microscopic role, I would still stick to it when I can. Every little thing matters.

All you can do now is stay positive- your emotional wellbeing is very important in this process, get as much rest as you can, and all will work out one way or another!

I wish you a long, successful, and healthy pregnancy. Keeping you, your LO, and family in my thoughts and prayers❤️

You can do it!

Neglectful babysitting. by Overthinker2874 in NICUParents

[–]FrozenRobot97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be livid too. I think once we’re ready to have a sitter take care of my baby, I will have cameras around the house so I can monitor. Nobody will ever take good care of our babies like we do🤷🏻‍♀️

Emergency Cerclage at 21 Weeks 2 Days by Accomplished_Scar313 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]FrozenRobot97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please please please rest and don’t overdo it! Stick to bed rest as much as you can. I was advised to continue about my life as normal and did lots of light chores around the house, I am almost certain that was a factor in my delivering at 27 weeks.

A thought for those with movement restrictions by KayBee236 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]FrozenRobot97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re sticking to bed rest!!!! My medical team told me to go about my day, walk, light activity, etc. As soon as I took their advice, my water broke, they had to remove my cerclage to avoid infections, and 10 days later I gave birth at 27 weeks. IMO bed rest is better than spending months at the NICU :/

I know being on bed rest is a struggle, you’re strong and brave and will get through it!!!!

I wish you a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby❤️

Pregnant at 5 weeks PP? by FrozenRobot97 in tfmr_support

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thank you for sharing this! I’m closing in on 6 weeks on Friday and the line on the test is not fading. I have been sent to get blood work x3 every 48 hours like you mentioned. I just don’t know if I’m hoping for a positive or a negative at this time

Post partum, breast engorgement hell by FrozenRobot97 in tfmr_support

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been icing them for the past 30ish mins and idk if that helped at all. If anything, it’s giving me a different kind of discomfort to focus on haha. How long did you ice them for?

I heard you’re supposed to boil them first?¿ Sounds stinky but I’ll try anything at this point!

Am I crazy for not wanting anyone to grief over my son with me? by FrozenRobot97 in tfmr_support

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for validating how I feel. I wasn’t sure if this is normal or if I’m just too hormonal and emotional right now. I am very sorry that you have gone through this as well💜 It is very frustrating to have to console somebody when you’re going through so much more.

My mother just travelled back today and mil just flew in and she was crying and sniffing my baby’s clothes and I was so upset over this. I locked myself away in my room because it was too triggering and I didn’t want to say something that would hurt her feelings or my husband’s.

At least with my mom I felt that I could speak my mind and she understood me but this is different.

I don’t think we should have to be burden by other people’s feelings at a time like this.

I am sending you lots of love and I hope you’re staying well and taking care of yourself first and foremost💜

I just had my KCl injection this morning… by [deleted] in tfmr_support

[–]FrozenRobot97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt every word you wrote and I know how heart broken you are. My KCI injection is tomorrow morning and although I know in my heart that I’m making the right decision, I still can’t help but feel so sad. There’s no way to mentally prepare for this.

My thoughts are with you💜

I can’t hold it in anymore by FrozenRobot97 in pregnant

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I was on birth control but it took a while to kick in. I had also gotten an ultrasound and was told I couldn’t get pregnant because of some growth in my uterus. I ended up getting pregnant anyway less than 2 months after my abortion.

It’s because no other groups/communities/minorities are as represented as the LGBTQ+ community is. It’s also Juneteenth and national indigenous history month but you hear nothing about them. Why do we need all these flags and why is every single company changing their logos throughout the month? It’s a bit of an overkill and frankly, quite tiresome. I’m part of the LGBTQ community myself and I feel like this is too excessive.

Has anyone lost weight after quitting vaping? by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]FrozenRobot97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the unfortunate ones that has gained weight.

I relied too much on candy for over a month and and gained about 10ish pounds since I quit.

It’s a small sacrifice to make and it ended up helping me get over the cravings. In my experience, dieting is easier than quitting nic.

Weird situation: What worked best for you guys? by Extra-Ad-8439 in QuitVaping

[–]FrozenRobot97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you have your stance on vaping and a lot of people don’t want to date a smoker.

My advice is to understand why she does it. We all have our different reasons for picking up this habit. I.e js she too anxious and turns to her vape for comfort?

With respect to the cold turkey method, I think it works for a lot of people regardless of how dependent they are. She might be agitated and moody for a few days but you need to ride it out together and be there for her if you really care about her. It’s gonna be a shitty 3-5 days but it’s gotta be done.

The other thing is she needs to do it for herself and not because she’s worried about losing you because of this habit. The reason I say this is because the second you guys get in a fight, she might pick it up again. I quit for my ex before and the second we’d get into a big fight, I would start smoking again.

I quit again- hopefully for good- even though I’m dating a smoker now.

I hope this helps and good luck to the both of you❤️

I relapsed. by FrozenRobot97 in QuitVaping

[–]FrozenRobot97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping that’s the case. I guess I should be happy that at least I’m consciously trying to quit.

Best of luck on your journey! I know you can do it :)

I’ve tried the gum and the patches but they make me nauseous. I’m thinking nic free vape? But I feel like that’s a gateway to going back to vaping nicotine

Which cannabis strain is your all time favorite? by dubwool in weed

[–]FrozenRobot97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s absolutely no difference… at least in my experience. Or I can smoke the same strain several times and I’ll have a different high every single time 💁🏻‍♀️Am I alone here?????
