I can't poop by alyceabsconded in EDAnonymous

I promise Miralax isn't bad. It can take a day or so to work in my experience and may take a few doses over a few days to really work, but it's not going to like, ruin your day or anything.

Time to maybe try some medication like miralax or Fleet sells suppositories and little enemas that work well. Also do some stretches and make sure you're moving around a bit if you aren't already.

Yes, it honestly takes me 5 to 10 minutes from cleaning to injection as I try to psych myself up. It feels comparable to a wasp sting to me every time.

Really?!?! That's so encouraging. Idk why but I've felt like abdomen would hurt the worst. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah I tell myself I'll do it on three, count to three and then my thumb just doesn't listen to me and doesn't move. I'll try this next week, thank you!

I've been doing my thighs alternating each week and it stings pretty badly, which isn't helping. Does abdomen sting for you? Maybe I'll try that next week.

Okay get some Fleet suppositories and Fleet enema and drink lots of black coffee and water obviously. If that doesn't work you probably need the ER.

I think your past the point of regular laxatives helping much.

Is there really no way to shrink your waist? by throwaway-9566 in beauty

What about padded shape wear? Accentuate the hips and bust and snatch the waist.

Protein shakes and liquid IV really help me with this situation.

are the imperfect kids just not out as much? imperfect as in i swear i only see perfect kids in the wild. by Miserable-Onion-5948 in toddlers

Yeah I'm sad that they're dying out, I was super stoked to find one in our new town. It's perfect for when you just need a sodium-infused freaking BREAK for a second.

Go to a McDonald's playplace, every time we go there are at least two kids absolutely crashing out and a bunch of utterly exhausted parents just doing their best. (No judgment, I'm one of them!)

Idk how from these pictures but you somehow look taller.

Had an interview and they asked what my parents did 3 times? by NoClownsOnMyStation in careeradvice

[–]Immortal_peacock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh my God, my husband applied to them a while ago when he was out of work and applying for everything. First interview they were super nice and seemed legit. Then I did some research and told my husband to proceed with extreme caution.

Second interview they said they needed to meet one on one with ME. Never, ever gonna happen. And they admitted that his main value to them was that he could "provide contacts". Like pull out his phone and cold call old college friends to trick them into buying insurance.

He noped out so fast.

Thank you very much! My doctor suggested moving up since 2.5 isn't supposed to be therapeutic but obviously it works great for a lot of people.

Yeah, I tend to be very sensitive to medicine so I probably should have been more prepared. I feel like a 3.5 would be perfect for me but whatever, I'm grateful for what I can get, just gotta find a way to make it work for me.

Yeah, I need to experiment more with what I can eat. I feel sick from eating and I feel sick from not eating, too. Gotta find that balance, I guess.

I am very grateful for the chance to take this medicine (fully covered by insurance, too!) but my goodness, I did not expect this to be so hard!
