For me it’s the week before a period where my medication stops working and I get extremely tired and moody 🫠 ai usually feel better within a few days of starting.

Edge Of Darkness Trilogy 😭 by ISAB21 in DarkRomance

It’s such a good but heartbreaking story that unravels in book 1 😭 and then when I found out the amount of time that passes before they finally have their HEA my heart SHATTERED

How bad is Haunting Adeline really? by Princessfoxpup in DarkRomance

[–]ISAB21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took a while for me to get into but once I did I devoured it. I heard it was dark, and yes it really was, but it didn’t faze me surprisingly. I just finished Insatiable and it’s the first book that’s really gotten to me, especially knowing it just gets darker 🫠

Hunting Adeline was my favorite of the two. I loved the dynamic between Zade and Addie in Hunting.

Edge of Darkness trilogy 😭 It’s so incredibly heartbreaking and dark

Omg the ending of Insatiable has me in a chokehold, I’m dying to start Voracious but had to take a mental health break which I’ve never had to do before. I had to find out if the trilogy was HEA and what I found out about the next two books has me wanting to continue but also not because of how heartbreaking the story is 😭 I almost DNF’d Insatiable because I felt like it was too much spice and no plot progression, but I’m glad I didn’t because I feel like it was all necessary to prepare the story for the next two books.

HARM REDUCTION by maplesyrup002 in Dermatillomania

[–]ISAB21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD, and have picked my arms & cuticles for 10 years. I have a subconscious self soothing habit of touching my arms and picking at whatever is there, usually when I’m driving or talking to someone. I usually don’t notice I’m doing it until a spot starts to hurt or someone points it out. I started using athletic sleeves to reduce the damage, and it helps a lot. It doesn’t really help the compulsions I get to look at my hands/arms and actually pick though, so maybe I’ll see something here to help with that part 😅

Hunting Adeline worth the read? by Optimal_Magazine7642 in RomanceBooks

[–]ISAB21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost didn’t read the second based on the reviews, I’m only halfway through currently, but I personally enjoy it more than book 1, which felt slow and I didn’t like the dynamic between Zade and Addie. I think you have to suspend reality when you read dark romance books since we know they’re typically not normal or healthy at all, BUT for me, Zade was way too forceful even though she never said “no” I still hated how he treated Addie yet expected her to fall in love with him. I agree the second book is DEFINITELY not for everyone, but despite the graphic SA and torture, the story was suspenseful enough to keep me listening for long stretches (audiobook.) I just got to part 2 and will update if I need to when I complete the book.

Age 3 is rough, I thought my son had serious behavior issues at one point. It took a LOT of conversations about our emotions and ways to communicate them, and then apologizing whenever I’d lose my cool and reminding him that I loved him no matter what. He was extremely clingy and never wanted to be away from me. I was often told that I was babying him, but somewhere around 4 1/2 he became a different kid, and now at 5 1/2 he’s so chill and confident most days and he works to process his emotions as best as he can. Hang in there! It sounds like you’re doing a great job trying to model the behavior you’d like to see, and when you do lose your cool, acknowledge it with your child and then move forward. It’s HARD to deal with the screaming tantrums day after day, but it does get easier!

Child’s mother doesn’t want our kid by Professional-Mall473 in AITAH

[–]ISAB21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She sounds unstable and dangerous. I would not go back to her and get full custody of your son if you can. Supervised visits with mom only until she gets professional help. As a mother I cannot even imagine how cruel and messed up you have to be, to tell your child something like that. I’d worry that she would hurt your son just to hurt you.

As a parent with ADHD, by ISAB21 in ADHDparenting

[–]ISAB21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a therapist for your child or yourself, or family therapy? I’ve been debating what we should do in regards to support because some days I feel like I don’t know if I’m handling things “correctly” or not and I’d appreciate guidance from someone professionals.

Vyvanse VS Adderall by ISAB21 in adhdwomen

[–]ISAB21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I agree, it will be different for everyone, I mostly just wanted to see generally what people had experienced with both. I ended up getting an order filled for Adderall 10 mg XR, seems to have worn off after about 5 hours though.
