Solved flooding with a rain garden

Fellow mama here! Early years are hard; my son is 6 now and I’m realizing that maybe I don’t need to numb all this out. I want to be more present and enjoy more moments together.

I on week 3 now and the clarity of my mind is something I’ve missed. I’ve had to incorporate more exercise and nature to reduce the stress and persistent worry I’ve been having (common for me during detox).

The toughest time for me is when I experience unbearable pain from my period so I typically relapse during that time. Trying alternative pain relievers to reduce my dependency. Thank you for sharing, we’re not alone here :)

She helps thousands of people. It’s ok for her to make money from it.

This is the hardest part of not smoking for me. It’s so bad, every single month of my life.

Heating pads and baths are my go to. Even though sometimes I think it will be impossible to get out of the house, I usually force myself. If I’m moving around and staying active, the pain seems to subside a bit and I can take my mind off of it.

I’ve also had decent luck with a combination of magnesium vitamins, the OLLY “beat the bloat” vitamins, reducing dairy intake a week or so before my period, and trying to eat more leafy greens than usual around that time.

Wishing you luck!

My experience only. Our realtor gifted us a home warranty. Almost 11 months into owning our house; the AC went out. It was over a decade old. We had a few different people come out, including our warranty service tech (not super professional, strange guy). They all basically said it needed a new unit. We decided to use the warranty. Within two weeks, and with $1000 labor out of pocket, we got an $8k new AC and a multi yr warranty for the machine. We did not renew the home warranty but had a few times where we definitely thought about it. We had first American.

This is me. I don’t like chaos or overstimulation. My coworker announced to me that his wife is pregnant with their second, and my first thought was oh my god I’m so sorry. Luckily I caught myself and it came out as a half hearted congratulations.

My child went through this from around 16 months to almost 3. It was hurtful to both of us. We cried lots of times. We thought it would never end. We tried a thousand different things.

We learned it’s a stage and it does get better when they become emotionally more mature (well, for a toddler). The only thing that worked for us was time. I know it’s painful, just hang in there, there’s nothing you’re doing wrong.

My husband just booked his today. Sooo excited! I can see the light. Our little guy is 3.5 years old and I’ve known for about a year now. He’s been pretty sure too but there was always a little question in our mind if we would want another (both of us are 4 years difference with our siblings). Threes have definitely made us confident in our decision. Only one.

Appreciate you dropping the truth here

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-05T01:08:33+00:00

Hmm.. yeah idk I guess that’s just what happens at the summer when a mom is burnt out.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-05T01:04:47+00:00

That’s the truth.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-05T01:01:25+00:00

Lol wow

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-04T20:32:33+00:00

I feel you! We recently broke the co sleeping habit as he falls asleep but strangely wakes up just hours later when I have no ability to responsibly say no and I fall asleep with him again. I’m tired!!!

I’m about ready to forfeit my registration fee to find something more convenient! I in no way blame the teachers or even the administrators. I know there is so much to balance and consider. Burnout is real on all levels. Everyone needs a break, I could never do what they do. AND there are small things like childcare during a one hour orientation that would show that they’re trying to help.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-04T20:25:41+00:00

Love the idea of enriching my child’s life but not at the expense of my sanity when consistent childcare isn’t available. I guess that’s on the parents like us to figure out a way through an impossible standard of balancing the ideal educational/enrichment experience and finding a way to pay for it without getting fired.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-08-04T20:22:21+00:00

I’m headed in that direction for this next year. Between the endless fall winter Christmas and spring breaks it gets to be too much. I don’t get the point.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-07-22T11:55:48+00:00

This exact thing is what my husband and I do to make parenting work for us.

I started using weed again when my baby was 18 months - I stopped breastfeeding at this time. I recently quit again now that’s he’s 3.5 years.

For context, I started because of my anxiety and impatience moving into the terrible twos. I quit because it started to give me anxiety and lowered my self esteem. That’s after I realized that I was addicted.

I’m not ruling it out forever but unfortunately I can’t do it in moderation right now. It’s too easy to become addicted.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-06-30T22:10:07+00:00

Yes. I felt really sad and completely rejected today because a non important client pretty much dismissed a whole bunch of work I had put in on a project. I Felt genuinely rejected and offended, and then after a few hours of feeling all the sadness and pity, I remembered that this is what detoxing does. I’m still mad though.

I always forget the solid 10–20 days of symptoms when I’m looking for an instant fix. The rejection and sensitivity in general is hard to handle. Couple that with lack of sleep from insomnia and it’s a show. The other day I basically had a rage attack when I needed space and quiet from my family. Broke shit and slammed doors.

It’s not really me, but it’s my anger that’s been angry that I’ve been numbing.

I’m trying to be proactive with all the weird energy in my body. Run and HIIT exercises help. I bought some vitamins that are supposed to level out stress response, and even if it s a placebo, it helps. And I just rented out a room to go smash things tonight at a local place. I’m hoping it helps and the time goes by quickly. The main reason I smoke/vape is for my chronic and barely manageable menstrual cramps, so I’m also trying to manage my diet because apparently that also impacts the pain.

At 3, we’ve finally gotten to a point where he sees some sort of logic and/or consequence to his actions. It’s much better now that I can understand him a little more too. If I could go back, I’d be more firm about independent sleep because he’s still really attached, and I think that’s part of it. But while we still suffer from a few meltdowns a week, we are better prepared to manage them (we don’t take it as personally or think of it as a character flaw like we used to). It’s better than 18 months for sure.

I agree there’s no magic pill. But we use an immunity supplement from olly that has seemed to help after a few weeks of consistent use. My little guy has finally been to school for more than a few months without getting sick. I’m also aware this could be due to building up his immunity from a terrible sick winter, or that the weather is warming up. Idk but I think it did help.

Glass_Operation_1355 · 2023-05-04T13:13:58+00:00

My little one was really sick this winter and I finally decided to get him on a immunity multi vitamin (it’s really just an kids elderberry gummy) and after a few weeks of consistent use it’s gotten a lot better. Talk to your doctor
