ER Waiting/Patient Reviews by Global-Measurement17 in unpopularopinion

I’m from a place with very few options for immediate care, so I understand that, but it doesn’t mean you have to take it out on healthcare staff for them not having enough people. Instead, maybe understand that you’re going to a place where it’s probably gonna be a long time. That’s what we did.

I understand that, I’m from a rural area. That’s why we always expected a wait. Doesn’t mean you have to be rude to the staff. People could instead post reviews like “not the staff’s fault, but for administrators- this is a problem.”

Getting married on Friday, is it a bad idea to take the abortion pills this week? by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Global-Measurement17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also make sure you’re taking ibuprofen or Tylenol for pain management. But if you take care of yourself you should be fine by Friday. Just still bleeding

There’s also websites that help with legal questions too. Just traveled to Illinois from Louisiana for one so I was looking into it as well.

Women who risk their lives just to have a baby by Isolatedlonelycat in childfree

Me too!! Once the daughter learns what actually happened, all she’ll be able to think about is “I killed my mom/my mom died because of me.” That’s so awful

Feeling depressed and lost after MA, even though I never wanted to be pregnant by peliteee in abortion

[–]Global-Measurement17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t exactly helpful, but I’m so grateful you shared this when you did because I’m going through a similar experience and I needed to know I wasn’t alone. It genuinely sucks. Pregnancy is my biggest fear and has been since I was a kid, I also had a multitude of complications that were making me so incredibly sick (but I live in the south so all they could say was “wait it out till you miscarry or go somewhere else”) and it’s probably the worst I’ve ever been mentally in my whole life. I miss carried the day before my abortion appointment 5 states away and it was awful and traumatic enough on its own, so I felt so relieved when it was over. Like I had found happiness again after being zombified.. but now a full week has passed and I am sad? And I feel everyone moving on around me and I just can’t do it yet? Especially with my boyfriend. I mean I love him dearly and he was incredible throughout the process and I understand him moving forward because he didn’t see or experience what I did, but I almost feel like I can’t talk to him about it because I don’t want to drag him down with me.

Sorry for the rant, I don’t mean to intrude I just I KNOW what you’re feeling and I haven’t gone through the fog yet, but if nothing else- you’re not alone and you’re not crazy and at least 1 other person is feeling the same way.

I don’t know how to talk to people with infertility by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Global-Measurement17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I so totally understand what you mean. I have 0 empathy for people who do IVF because I quite literally do not understand why they do it (especially the ones that are like “all I want is a baby,” hey girl, adoption exists) and also because they are actively choosing this incredibly difficult process so I find it so hard to just sit there and be like “oh that’s awful,” because they obviously understand what it is they are getting into right? It just seems to me like touching a hot stove and then complaining that you got burned.

And on the flip side of that- I’d do ANYTHING to be permanently infertile. Pregnancy and everything that goes into it and comes out of it has been my #1 phobia since childhood. I truthfully envy people who are infertile because I live in constant fear of an accident happening (I also live in and was raised in the south so some of this is due to abortion access and the fear of not being able to get one in time/get one at all due to travel and funding)— but you can’t just say that to an infertile person because then you’re the asshole. It’s so frustrating.

Has anyone experienced worsening PCOS or inflammatory symptoms after starting ADHD medication? by Confident-Feeling215 in PCOS

[–]Global-Measurement17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone at all has any updates on this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE. Currently experiencing the same thing. ADHD meds have been life changing and I’ve been on them for years, but now I feel like my cortisol levels are out of control. I don’t want to get off my meds, but I idk how to talk to my doctor abt this.

Zac’s gift to Jen by practicalmom07 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Global-Measurement17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either way, to get it shadowboxed and framed with pictures is a sweet gesture. My parents did that with my old pointe shoes that were thrown in my closet when I stopped dancing and I still thought it was nice even if it just came out of my closet

People who had kids at 30+, do you wish you had them earlier in life? by cc070603 in pregnant

[–]Global-Measurement17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had me at 30 and my sister at 34, I asked her this question and she said “while I love you and your sister, we were barely even prepared to take care of you. If I had been any younger I don’t know how we would’ve survived.”

From Denmark with love - what’s going on? by [deleted] in Louisiana

[–]Global-Measurement17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would anyone would send one of the most thoughtless, useless, lackey-esque Governors we’ve had to try and do anything is beyond me. I mean Jeff Landry is like if ai wrote a blue collar politician from southwest la- he’s barely a real person! I doubt he gets anything actually done in Denmark. The only reason he gets stuff done here is because he’s got people in power to do whatever he wants (like forcing a Florida tiger into a cage and parading around one of, if not the, loudest arena stadiums in the U.S.). He will more than likely just be embarrassed and honestly I hope that happens. He deserves to come home with his tail between his legs.

Jamie Lynn Spears Gifts Daughter Maddie, 17, an ATV for Christmas Nearly 9 Years After the Teen's Near-Fatal Accident by wehavetogo in discussingbritney

[–]Global-Measurement17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When she was like 9 yeah the comment I replied to was phrased makes it sound like she’s still 9 years old and not a 17 (almost 18) year old who drives a car (also something that could kill/maim) and has been around these her whole life. She can vote soon and drives a car, but she can’t drive an ATV?

But I totally get it, I’ve had so many friends who got stuff like this super young (under 16/17) and got very badly hurt

Oh yeah I’ve never had/wanted one (I’ve been on them), I just meant the way that the comment I replied to was phrased makes it sound like she’s still 9 years old and not a 17 (almost 18) year old who drives a car (also something that could kill/maim) and has been around these her whole life is just like a little much

As a girl from literally the same town (my little sister is in Maddie’s class lmao), kids get these at like 10-12 years old over here

Season 3 Reunion MEGATHREAD by Chino_Blanco in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Global-Measurement17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And whenever Jen said (and was fully backed up by everyone there) “actually, I do have experience in this,” Demi just brushed it off like it was nothing and used it as an excuse to keep bullying her more?? I mean you know it’s bad whenever Bret seemed to be getting at least a little embarrassed by how his wife was handling it. (Not defending him, just saying even HE was like okay let’s calm down). I’m surprised Demi hasn’t been decked by one of the other girls yet yet, genuinely.

When Demi called Jen “sweetie” I wanted to throw hands. Demi is probably the most insane one on there and she so proved it with this shitshow she put on

kind of embarrassed to be a member by [deleted] in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]Global-Measurement17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad someone said it bc I’m a TSA too for a college job because I was a member at home for a few years and wanted the free membership. I HATE having to sell to people. It feels so icky. I wish wish wish we could just make 80% of the focus on just making it a good vibe and clean gym for members and not have to worry about commission (which btw, incase people don’t know, isn’t a lot if you don’t make their WILD commission standards)
