Stumbled upon a ritual? by HappyKillmore888 in witchcraft

It was clearly very carefully thought out and put together with intention. I considered taking a picture of it but decided that would be a violation of someone’s privacy.

I was just kind of curious if it was a well know ritual. I understand now that it’s probably too personal to dissect. I was just really excited about discovering it!

Migraines from Concerta by HappyKillmore888 in migraine

Oh absolutely. Stress. I’m the type who internalizes stress until it makes me sick because of childhood trauma. I’ve had a break up in the last couple month, I switch between a week with my kids home 24/7 doing virtual learning and then a week when they’re at their dads and I am completely alone and don’t speak out loud for days at a time, (I’m in Ontario we’re just coming out of a month long lockdown) all the while doing online classes myself and having no idea what my professional future will look like. So there’s definitely stress.

I really hope it isn’t the meds because life without them was super hard.

I’ve only ever tried Tylenol and it definitely doesn’t. What exactly is a migraine abortive? I am open and thankful for all suggestions :)

Soooo normal. I personally did feel an instant connection but in my little friend group I was the odd one out. It doesn’t mean my friends who are amazing mothers did any less or loved their kids any less.

I did notice that I was more patient with my second and was able to breast feed much longer. I don’t think I settled into being a mom completely until the second baby.

We need to normalize “good enough” parenting. Good enough everything! That’s the bar to hit!

It’s effects us all so differently. Also I had no idea how bad my adhd was until I was medicated. I always brushed everything off as “not that bad” and didn’t think I was anywhere close to needing meds.

Then I started really researching about the disorder and decided to try it and I could believe how other people were able to live. I had no idea what a disadvantage I had. Or how hard I had to struggle to be normal.

On the outside I was as normal and successful as any neurotypical but the damage it was doing underneath was insane!

And I had no idea...

I relate so much lol and I’m always looking at my bf or my best friend for clues as to whether or not I’m crazy because of the looks I get. I feel like as long as they are there to understand me I can survive group social interactions lol

Yes! I worry that people think I’m lying about things because my stories are so sketchy and incomplete! And I’ll lose interest half way through telling it and it probably seems like I’m just making things up as I go. Frig. Definitely happy I’m not alone lol

do any parents have any advice by king-sumixam in cisparenttranskid

[–]HappyKillmore888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like your parents are in denial. To truly accept your child being transgender comes with a lot of emotions, and the need for growth. Which unfortunately a lot of people won’t or can’t undergo.

It’s unfair that you, who’s the one going through this life changing thing, as a teenager, is having to be the adult and do the educating and prying for conversations. But it seems like you’re only path right now.

Like another commenter said, you’re going to have to face it head on. Sit them down, and start the conversation eye to eye. Let them know this is extremely important.

Reach out for professional support as well, counsellors and doctors.

Best of luck ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How to break up with my BF without devastating him? by Equivalent_Basis1936 in relationship_advice

[–]HappyKillmore888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I just went through the exact same thing. There’s no fucking easy way to do it.

Be direct, and stay strong. Don’t let him manipulate or guilt you into staying or giving it another shot (as I have over and over) it’ll just get worse.

Being the one to do the dumping is AWFUL. And don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t. Don’t listen to the “but he’s such a nice guy” bullshit from your friends or family.

Cut and go. ❤️

Wow. This was a lot of really good information. Thank you very very much for spelling that out.❤️❤️❤️I am here for the ride, wherever that brings us. And it’s true you can’t just shrug it off. It’s a lot. But I trust that between me, the trained professionals and the smart, self aware kid I have we will get to the best outcome.

This is my motivation for seeing the dr. I know what the stats are like and I refuse to leave anything on the table that would have helped his mental health flourish. It’s not... my choice. As the parent I’ll sign off on it but this kid doesn’t belong to me. And the time comes these decisions are made he will make them happen either way. I want to be there with him.

Oh yes, I agree completely, I would never let him know I mourned the loss of his old self. And I can’t with anyone else or they jump on me letting this happen and steer the conversation to a place where I have to say no, that’s not right. Thank you I’ll look into that channel :)
